A Different Regeneration – chap 3

The Doctor closed his eyes briefly, before summoning up the courage to speak to Rose.

"Rose…"

"How do you know my name? Who the hell are you? How did you get here?" Her questions wouldn't let me get a word in edgeways.

"I'm the…" The Doctor started, but couldn't finish.

"Where's the Doctor? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIM? Tell me where he is!" she shouted frantically, trying desperately to see over his shoulder. The Doctor tried not to laugh, the situation was so ridiculous. Time for some action he thought, listening to Rose ranting in his ear.

"SHUT UP ROSE! I AM THE DOCTOR OK?" He shouted at the top of his voice. She shut up instantly, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"No…you can't be, no, NO! you're…you're a..woman. You're a woman, oh my god, what are you going to do? You can't stay like that, not when I…" but she cut herself short suddenly, flushing slightly.

The Doctor was curious as to what she was going to say, he was in a bad enough situation already, he was a woman and loved another woman! He was a lesbian, for heaven's sake why turn him into this? What went wrong? He couldn't stay like this, of course not.

"Look Rose, I don't know how this happened ok? I really don't, and fact that I am a woman is not the least worrying thing I have at the moment, I've also turned into.."

Once again Rose cut him short: " a what? Half man-half woman? Bisexual? A shape changer? An ent! A druid? A weird alien thing from the planet we last visited? I hope you're not half and half…that really would be disturbing…and what if you were a…"

"Rose, shut up! I haven't turned into any of those things, but if you really must know then this regeneration has transformed me into a lesbian!"

Rose was mute with shock this time, and the Doctor only just realised what he had just said, oh my god, she'll work it out, she will now that I love her! I'm a woman and I still love Rose Tyler!

"Get away from me! Don't come near me until you've got rid of that skin ok? Just don't!"

"Rose, I would never…"

"Just don't come near me! You're a woman for Christ sake!" and with that she ran away to her bedroom.

The Doctor sank down on his bed…fantastic, absolutely fantastic.
