"You left the mind altering alien roses where?!" The Doctor looked panicked as he scrolled through century old newspaper articles that screamed the existence of otherwordly forces taking over the city gardens.
"Right, we'd better hurry and get them cleared out. Do you know how many things this could change in the human timeline? The repercussions are massive, Rose Tyler. Those flowers could easily change the course of human history and we only have a few minutes left before the changes are fixed."
"I just didn't know what to do with 'em! And you were no help, were you? Goin about spoutin poetry and um- I mean, you know, you weren't exactly in possession of all your faculties." Rose retorted, throwing her hands up in frustration.
The Doctor watched as she retreated, going to get ready for the next stop. Reaching into his pocket he felt the small, golden circle hidden there next to a piece of mistletoe. "Wasn't I?" He sighed, then let out a small laugh as he put he hazmat helmet back on.
The memories had started coming back in waves, each washing over the Doctor with every smile from Rose, or casual touch. She didn't notice because she was too occupied watching out for what she might give away. He was grateful for that and knew he must do the same. The things he had done and told her were mostly true, although taken to extremes he wouldn't go to no matter what. He would never experiment on her using the time vortex, he'd only wondered over he possibility in passing.
He wouldn't propose to her in the middle of a chip shop, although at that time it had been in the throws of fevered desperation. But, he had dreamed of proposing to her; of marrying her; of spending all of not only her days but his together.
What he had done then and still would do if he could was anything to make her happy; and kiss her. Well, he wouldn't kiss her unless the situation called for it, but he would dream of it and he would remember.
So no, he couldn't tell her that the sleepwalking dreams had come back to him, but he would remember them and keep them with him always along with the ring that would never leave his pocket.
Okay, that's the end now. Thankyou for reading and I hope you liked the little epilogue and it's not too mushy! I just liked the idea of seeing his perspective while still keeping it canon as much as possible. Let me know your thoughts and I really appreciate every review you guys posted!
