Okay, here's chapter six. This might be the second to last chapter, it might not be. I'm not sure. I'm just lettin you know, it gets sorta angsty at the end.
Rose and the Doctor lay tangled in each other's limbs, just holding each other. Rose figured she should have felt exhausted, but instead she couldn't have felt more energized. Even knowing that she was going to die didn't affect her. She wished she could go say goodbye to her mum, but figured that Emily would go and tell her what happened. Emily would tell Jackie that Rose had died saving everyone.
"We've got to go, love. Its time." The Doctor said into Rose's hair, and Rose snuggled closer to him. He could hear her unasked question: "Do we have to?" He smiled and kissed her before getting out of bed. He dressed quickly, and combed his hair back, looking in the mirror.
"You know, I wish I could have been ginger. Imagine that, a ginger Time Lord and a human saving both races." The Doctor said, and turned to see Rose getting out of bed. She stretched, and for the perhaps the last time, the Doctor looked at the beauty that was Rose Tyler.
"That was three hours? We need to do that more often." Rose said, pulling on her shirt, her blue jeans, and her jacket. The Doctor smiled and opened the door to the Control room.
"This is it, Rose. You don't have to do this if you don't want. I can send you home. I can destroy this planet like I did Gallifrey if I have to." The Doctor said, and Rose shook her head.
"No. I am Bad Wolf, Doctor. I will do what I must." Rose said, and the Doctor nodded. He crossed over to the TARDIS console and began pressing buttons. The TARDIS opened and a golden light spilled out.
"Rose Tyler. I love you." He said as Rose stepped into the light and looked into the heart of the TARDIS.
Hundreds of years and thousands of miles away, Jackie Tyler could tell something wasn't right. She could feel Rose's sacrifice through the bond every mother and daughter had. Her Rose was going to die to save everyone. Jackie understood. Collapsing onto the sofa, Jackie Tyler began to cry.
The Guardian looked up and saw the Doctor and Rose leave the TARDIS, Rose surrounded by golden light. 'Bad Wolf' She thought, gripping the program with the virus in her hand. She could see the Dalek Emperor now, a giant amongst the smaller Daleks. Time Lords and Humans alike were dying from the onslaught. She didn't have much time. She would have to get over there now.
"Well, Jack, Jonathan, I guess I'll see you all in hell!" The Guardian started running towards the Dalek Emperor, vaulting over Daleks, dodging their deadly laser blasts. She heard the howl of a wolf and looked beside her. Golden wolves were running beside her, ahead of her, taking out any and all obstructions in her way. She felt her breath returning and her limbs gain new energy. 'Thanks, mum' Emily thought, jumping over one last Dalek. She stopped in front of the Dalek Emperor. The golden wolves stood around her.
"So, Time Lord, you come before me now. You have no plan to defeat me. And you will be exterminated by my hands!"
"My name is Emily Violet Tyler. I am a Time Lady, thank you very much, and I do have a plan to defeat you. But first, I'd be careful if I were you. You might catch a virus!" Emily loaded the program into the Emperor and turned around just as a building exploded, sending shards of glass and metal in her direction.
Jonathan was watching Emily intently, watching her progress to the Dalek Emperor. He watched her load the virus, watched her turn, watched her fall as metal and glass pierced her skin. Watched her be buried beneath rubble. Jack watched also, and gathered his son in a hug.
"She saved us all, Jonathan. She did her job." Jack said, and heard Daleks behind them. He turned.
"EXTERMINATE!" They cried and Jack and Jonathan crumpled to the ground.
The Doctor saw Emily die, saw Jack and Jonathan die. And knew it was Rose's turn, and his. Rose turned to face him, and he smiled as he pulled him to her and kissed her. The Time Vortex came to him, and he in turn gave it back to the TARDIS. He could feel his body dying. The last thing he saw was Rose surrounded by golden light as he fell to the ground.
'If this is dying, it isn't so bad after all.' The Doctor thought, and felt energy flowing through his body. He was regenerating. But he didn't want to. He wanted to die alongside Rose. The TARDIS would let him, wouldn't she? The Doctor forced his eyes open and found Rose lying on the ground beside him, raven hair covering her face. 'Wait…black hair? She was blonde! She regenerated!' The Doctor thought, then it was his turn.
Emily's eyes opened and the first thing she felt was weight on top of her. That was good, she was alive. The next thing she felt was pain. Also a sign that meant she was alive. And then she felt the energy of the Time Lords coursing through her. She regenerated, her blonde hair turning red, her sapphire eyes going green. She became more muscular and gained a more feminine figure. The energy coursing out of her body disintegrated the rubble that was on top of her, leaving her body lying next to a large pile of dust that was left of the Dalek Emperor.
Night had fallen when the Doctor woke. He looked around and remembered that he had regenerated. He looked at himself, his clothes were slightly too small. His shirt was a little tight in the shoulders. He looked beside him and no one was there. The door to the TARDIS was slightly ajar, and he stood and went inside. The TARDIS radio was playing a song, a song he didn't recognize
I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me, My weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you its hard to survive.
'Cause Everytime we touch, I get this feeling
and everytime we kiss, I swear I can fly.
Can't you feel my hear beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static
and everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat slow, I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.
Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
And everytime we kiss I swear I can fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static
And evertime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat slow, I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.
'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling
and everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
The Doctor found Rose in the wardrobe room, looking through…leather pants?
"Hello, Doctor. Have a nice nap, did you?" Rose asked in a slightly lilting Irish accent. She turned to look at the Doctor and her face broke out in a grin.
"What?" He asked and realized his voice had changed too. It was also Irish.
"Look in the mirror!" Rose said, giggling. She watched him cross to the giant mirror and his face fell open. He was ginger!
Emily stood up, and peered around in the darkness. Over in the distance, she spotted two bodies lying side by side and dashed over to them, ignoring the fact that her clothes didn't fit right. It didn't matter right now. All around Time Lords were waking from regeneration cycles. The unfortunate Time Lords that were killed by Daleks were being mourned by their families. But Emily didn't care. All that she cared about could be dead right now. She stopped and dropped to the ground beside Jonathan's body and felt for a pulse. 'C'mon, please, don't leave me. I can't be alone!' Up ahead, Alexis, Sarah-Jane and K-9 came out from a building, all looking bruised up and scratched but otherwise fine (in K-9's case, dented).
"Jack!" Alexis cried, and knelt by her brother. Jack didn't respond. His eyes were open in a stare that led past Alexis into the star-filled night. Captain Jack Harkness was dead, with his son. Emily pulled Jonathan onto her lap and cried.
The Doctor and Rose left the TARDIS, both dressed differently. Rose wore black leather pants with a red top and a black duster with a red satin lining. Her black hair was parted on the side and ended at her between her shoulder blades. The Doctor wore black slacks with a green wool jumper and black boots. His ginger hair was spiked.
"Lets look around, see if anyone survived, like Sarah-Jane or maybe Emily." The Doctor said, though he had little hope that anyone did. He looked around and found Sarah-Jane and K-9 heading wearily towards the TARDIS, followed by Alexis carrying Jack and Emily carrying Jonathan. The Doctor noticed that Emily had regenerated as he though she would.
"I'm takin' Jack to be next to Mother. Emily wants Jonathan to be beside his father, so she's comin' with me. Then after that, I don' know what I'll do. I'll bring Emily back in an hour or so." Alexis said, and the Doctor nodded. Emily was quiet, focused on Jonathan's face, as if she was trying to will him back to life.
"Doctor, if you don't mind, I'd like to go home." Sarah-Jane said, and the Doctor nodded.
Captain Jack Harkness and Jonathan Harkness were laid to rest beside Anna and Frank Harkness in a cemetery in 51st century California. Alexis made sure both were buried with hero's honor. Emily had changed into a pair of black jeans, a dark blue tank top and a long black coat over it. Her red hair was tied up in a complicated manor, and she wore a black choker with sapphires on it.
"What are we going to do now?" Rose asked, as the Doctor set a course into the TARDIS.
"Well, we've got to go talk to your mum, let her know that you're okay. Then we're going to get Emily her own TARDIS. Then we'll go wherever you want from there. Emily's a Time Lady now. As are you, love. But I have a feeling you've only got two regenerations left, like I do. The TARDIS just changed your DNA to give you enough time to spend with me. You're still mostly human." The Doctor said, noticing that Emily hadn't said a word since before the battle began.
"Emily, sweetheart, there wasn't anything you could do to save Jonathan. He and Jack died making sure you did your job. Jonathan died so you could live. I'm sure he died knowing that you loved him. And I'm sure he died knowing that you know he loved you. It's not going to be easy to get over it, Emily. But you will. You have almost a thousand years to live, Emily, depending on how careful you are. Live to remember him."
"That's not it." Emily said quietly, almost so quiet the Doctor couldn't hear her. Rose and the Doctor exchanged glances and they both walked closer to Emily.
"What is it then?" Rose asked, and Emily looked at both her parents. A smile came onto her face, something she also hadn't done in quite some time.
"Dad, you're going to want to kill Jonathan yourself after I tell you this." She said, and Rose's mind figured it out.
"You are? When did you…" Rose exclaimed, and the Doctor remained puzzled.
"Well, remember when you two were oh so disgustingly making out on the TARDIS controls? Well, I went into the kitchen and we talked, then kind of went to his room and…"
"You had sex with Jonathan? The bastard is so lucky he's dead…"The Doctor exploded, and Emily grinned.
"Um, more than that. I'm going to have his kid. The Harkness line will continue, even though Jonathan and I weren't legally married." Emily winced, realizing that she shouldn't have said legally married. They were married on Vega-5 when they landed there for a vacation about a year ago. Technically it wasn't legal, but the fact they had gotten married was more of the point.
"Doctor, calm down. Its not like I didn't know about any of this." Rose also winced when she said that. The Doctor had an Irish temper to boot. She could tell the Doctor was about to explode but the jolt of the TARDIS landing distracted him.
"Don't think we're done here, young lady. Time Lady or not, you're still my daughter." The Doctor said, leaving the TARDIS. Rose shook her head and followed.
Jackie and Mickey stood waiting outside. They were surprised when the three of them left the TARDIS. They could tell it was Rose, her face hadn't changed. Neither had the Doctor's, but Emily's had.
"What the bleeding 'ell did he do to you, Rose?" Jackie exclaimed, and Mickey blinked. He hadn't seen Emily before, didn't know who she was.
"I'm a Time Lady now, mum. I just thought I'd come say goodbye, because I've got to travel around with the Doctor and save people. If you need me to come back, though, just give me a call!" Rose hugged Jackie and Mickey, and walked back into the TARDIS. It started to rain.
"She loves you, Jackie, even if she didn't say it. I'll bring her back to see you every now and then, but she won't get older for a while yet. Goodbye, Jackie. See ya around, Rickey-boy. The Doctor and Emily turned and entered the TARDIS. It dematerialized, leaving Jackie and Mickey in the rain.
Okay, next chapter. You all are lucky I can get my chapters up so quick. You don't have long to wait. I've plenty of time to kill, so I can write these up quick for you. Review and tell me what ya think. it wasn't the end you were expecting, was it?
