Hello all. Well here is the final chapter with the 9th Doctor in it. It's kind of bittersweet for me. I love the 9th Doctor so it's like saying goodbye all over again. Any ways, thanks so much for the reviews and following my story.
DimensionJumperAlpha, to answer your question, Rose's Feelings about the Doctor are the same as they are in the show. You will definitely see a more jealous Rose with the 10th Doctor.
And here is chapter 8, enjoys:
The Doctor and Jack immediately ran to the TARDIS to go and get Rose. I opted to stay behind and help with evacuation. The Doctor was not too happy about this, but I think by the look on my face he could tell I did not want to be anywhere near a Dalek.
Davitch and I were trying to get as many people on the shuttles as we could. I looked over and saw Lynda standing to the side. "Lynda, what are you doing? Get on the shuttle."
"But I don't want to leave the Doctor. I have to help him."
"Lynda, its not safe here. Please," I was trying to reason with the girl, but I could not blame her for wanting to stay. I would do the same thing if I were in her position.
"I… I sorry, Harper, but I have to stay."
We had returned to floor 500 and were sitting just waiting for the Doctor to come back, when we heard the TARDIS. I immediately got up when I saw it.
"Turn everything up! All transmitters, full power, open wide, now! Do it!" The Doctor said as he, Rose, and Jack walked out of the TARDIS and come to the computers.
"Rose!" I quickly went and gave her a hug. I was glad to have my friend back.
"What does that do?" Davitch asked as he got to work on what the Doctor said to do.
"Stops the Daleks from transmatting on board. How did you get on? Did you contact Earth?"
"Well, we tried to warm them, but all they did was suspend our license because we stopped the programs."
"And the planet's just sitting there. Defenseless." The Doctor turned and looked at Lynda, "Lynda, what are you still doing on board? I told you to evacuate everyone!"
He was mad at Davitch, I could tell.
"Sorry, Doctor, but she wouldn't go." I told him hoping he would not be to mad.
"I didn't want to leave you," Lynda said innocently.
"There weren't enough shuttles anyway, or else I wouldn't be here." One of the programmers said, "We've got about a hundred people stranded on Floor Zero."
"Oh, my." Davitch said, "The Fleets moving. They're on their way."
We were all watching the Fleet move when suddenly the Doctor ran and started pulling out wire behind us.
"Dalek plan, big mistake, 'cause what've they left me with? Anyone? Anyone? Oh, come on, it obvious! A great big transmitter."
"This Station!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, and if I can change the signal, fold it back, sequence it? Anyone?"
"You've got to be kidding," Jack said sounding both surprised and impressed.
"Give the man a medal," The Doctor looked up in excitement.
"A Delta Wave?" Jack asked.
"A Delta Wave!" The Doctor said almost a little crazy like.
Rose was the first to asked, "What's a Delta Wave?"
Since the Doctor was busy Jack answered, "a wave of Van Cassadyne energy. It fries your brain. Stand in the way of a Delta Wave and your head gets barbequed."
"And this place can transmit a massive wave. Wipe out the Daleks."
The Doctors excitement was getting to me and both Rose and I were about to say something but Lynda beat us to it, "Well, get started and do it then!"
If we were not about to be in some serious trouble I would have laughed at Rose's annoyed face.
"Trouble is, wave this size, building this big, brain as clever as mine should take about, oh…. three days. How long until the Fleet arrive?"
Davitch looked at the computer before turn and saying, "twenty two minutes."
That didn't stop the Doctor he just pulled out more wire before looking up at us and smiling.
Jack, Lynda, Davitch, a female programmer, Rose, and I were all standing around a computer.
"We've now got a force field so they can't blast us out of the sky, but that doesn't stop the Daleks from physically invading," Jack told us.
"Do they know about the Delta Wave?" Davitch asked.
"They'll have worked it out at the same time," I said over Jack's shoulder.
"So, if they want to stop the Doctor, that means they've got to get to this level, 500. Now, I can concentrate the extrapolator on the top six levels, 500 to 495. So, they'll penetrate the station below that at level 494 and fight their way up."
"Who are they fighting?" Davitch asked not even thinking it would be them.
"Us," Jack said.
"And what are we fighting with?" Davitch looked a little more nervous them before.
"The guards had guns with bastic bullets, that's enough to blow a Dalek wide open."
"There's six of us," The female programmer said not sounding confident in Jack's plan.
"Rose, Harper, you can help me. I need all these wires stripped bare," the Doctor called.
"Right now there's four of us," She was even more exasperated than before.
"Then let's move it. Into the lift. Isolate the lift controls." I could tell by his voice he was getting annoyed.
Lynda walked over to the Doctor and he stood up. "I just want to say um… thanks. I suppose. And… I'll do my best."
"Me too," the Doctor said before there was a really awkward moment where I thought the Doctor was going to kiss her on the forehead but changed his mind and just gave her a hand shake. The both laughed awkwardly and then Lynda went to the lift.
"It's been fun," Jack said coming up to us. "But I guess this is goodbye."
"Don't talk like that. The Doctor's going to do it; just you watch him." Rose said confidently.
"Rose," Jack put his hands on her cheeks, "you are worth fighting for." Then he gave her a brief kiss before turning to the Doctor.
"Wish I'd never met you, Doctor." Jack once again put his hands on someone face, "I was much better off as a coward." He gave the Doctor a kiss just like the one he gave to Rose and turned to me.
"Petal, thanks for making me be a good man." I was trying really hard not to tear up as Jack took my face.
"Jack I swear if you kiss me, the Dalek will be the last of your worries."
He gave me one of his famous smirks and kissed me on the forehead. He was about to walk away when I pulled him in for a hug.
"Please a safe, Jake. Don't forget you have to walk me down the aisle," I whispered to him.
"Oh, don't worry I want forget. But you need to tell him you love him," he whispered back.
Once he finally stepped away he looked at the three of us and said, "See you in hell" as he walked out of the room.
"He's going to be all right?" Rose asked, but by the look at the Doctor's face and my tears she knew, but still asked, "Isn't he?"
We were all sitting in silence working when Rose said, "suppose…"
"What?" The Doctor asked without looking up.
"Nothing."
"You said suppose."
"No, I was just thinking. I mean, obviously you can't, but you've got a time machine. Why can't you just go back to last week and warn them?"
I looked up from what I was doing to watch the Doctor and Rose.
"Soon as the TARDIS lands in that second, I become part of events. Stuck in the timeline." The Doctor said, still not looking up from his work.
"Yeah, I thought i'd be something like that." Rose looked discouraged at this.
"There's another thing the TARDIS could do… it could leave. Let history take its course. We go to Marbella in 1980." The Doctor said, although I knew he would never do it.
"Yeah, but you'd never do that," Rose said.
"No, but you could ask." He finally looked up at us, "Never even occurred to you two, did it?" He gave us a slight smile.
I shook my head no and Rose said, "Well, we are just too good."
The Doctor was smiling at us when we heard a sound. "The Delta Wave's started building. How long does it need?"
We all got up and ran to the computer. The Doctor closed his eyes and dropped his head after seeing the results.
"Is that bad?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, it's bad," I replied putting my hand on the Doctor's shoulder.
"How bad is it?" Rose asked the Doctor.
The Doctor suddenly jumped up, "Rose Tyler, you're a genius." He gave us both a kiss on the forehead. "We can do it. If I use the TARDIS to cross my own timeline… yes!"
He and Rose ran to the TARDIS, but I could not bring my self to pretend anymore that everything was ok, so I walked slowly to them. As I got into the TARDIS I heard the Doctor tell Rose, "Hold that down, and keep position."
"What's it do?" She asked.
"Cancels the buffers. If I'm very clever, and I'm more than clever, I'm brilliant. I might just save the world. Or rip it apart…"
"I'd go for the first one," Rose said enjoying the Doctor's enthusiasm.
"Me too."
I was smiling at the Doctor, but I started thinking that this was the last time it will ever be like this.
"Now I've got to go and power up the Game Station. Hold on." He said as he ran out the Door.
Rose and I were just waiting in the TARDIS when she started up. I was trying not to cry, but Rose kept yelling for the Doctor.
"Doctor, what're you doing? Can I take my hand off? It's moving." She ran to the door and tried to open it. "Let me out, please. Let me out. Doctor, let me out!" She yelled and yelled.
"This is the Emergency Program One."
Rose and I turned to see a hologram of the Doctor.
"Rose, Harper, now listen, this is important. If this message is activated, then it can only mean one thing. We must be in danger. And I mean fatal. I'm dead or about to die any second with no chance of escape."
A sob escaped my lips when I heard this and Rose let out a worried "No" and walked up to the hologram.
"And that's okay. Hope it's a good death. But I promised to look after you and that's what I'm doing. The TARDIS is taking you home."
"I wont' let ya," Rose said like the Doctor could actually hear her.
"And I bet you're fussing and moaning now – typical. But hold on and just listen a bit more. The TARDIS can never return for me. Emergency Program Once means I'm facing an enemy that should never get their hands on this machine. So this is what you should do. Let this TARDIS die. Just let this old box gather dust. No one can open it; no one will even notice it. Let it become a strange little thing standing on a street corner. And over the years, the world will move on and the box will be buried. And if you want to remember me, then you can do one thing. That's all. One thing. Have a good life. Do that for me, Rose, Harper. Have a fantastic life."
"You can't do this to me! You can't. Take me back. TAKE ME BACK. How do you fly? How do you fly? Come one help me." Rose shouted to the TARDIS.
I just stood there sobbing, unable to move.
Once the TARDIS stopped Rose walked out but I stayed.
'Don't worry my little human, everything will be the way it's supposed to be.'
'I know, but the Doctor. I will miss him so much.' I heard a song in my head
'Just sleep for now, my dear.' Soon I was fast asleep on the jump seat.
I awoke to the sound of the TARDIS door opening. "All the TARDIS needs to do is make a return trip. Just… reverse," Rose told Mickey.
"Yeah, but we still can't do it," Mickey said.
"But the Doctor always said that the TARDIS was telepathic. This thing is alive. It can listen."
It's not listening now, is it?"
"You know the TARDIS is getting mad that you two keep calling her it and thing," I said sitting up in the jump seat.
"We need to get inside it. Last time I saw you, with the Slitheen, this middle bit opened. And there was this light… the Doctor said it was the heart of the TARDIS. If we can open it, we can make contact. I can tell it what to do." Rose said completely ignoring me.
"That's not a good idea," I tried again.
Since she was not listening to me, Mickey tried, "Rose."
"Mm?" Was all he got.
"If you go back, you're gonna die."
"That's a risk I've got to take, because there's nothing left for me here."
"Nothing?" Mickey sounded rejected.
"No"
"Okay, if that's what you think. Let's get this thing open."
After a couple of failed attempts, from Mickey and Rose, I got tired of watching I went to my room. It wasn't long though before I heard the TARDIS shouting in my head, making me run to the console room.
Rose was standing by the console and it was open. A bright light surrounded her so I took a step back. I did not want to take part of absorbing the Time Vortex. But apparently it had other plans. A small stream of light came my way and before I could do anything it went right into my chest.
I came too and heard Rose ask, "It's like…. there was this singing."
"That's right, I sang a song and the Daleks ran away."
"Remind me never to ask you to sing," I said sitting up looking up at the Doctor.
Everything was fuzzy, and I could not remember anything, much less how I got on the floor of the TARDIS.
"I was at Home. No… I wasn't. I was in the TARDIS and… there was this light. I can't remember anything else." Rose said.
"Rose Tyler, Harper. I was going to take you two to so many places. Barcelona, not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona, you'd love it. Fantastic place. They've got dogs with no noses. Imaging how many times a day you end up telling that joke and it's still funny."
I was laughing at the Doctor, when it hit me. The Doctor would regenerate soon. He was dying, but still trying to make jokes. The smile fell from my face.
"Then why can' we go?" Rose asked.
"Maybe you will, and maybe I will, but not like this."
"You're not making sense."
"I might never make sense again. I might have two heads or no head. Imaging me with no head. And don't say that's an improvement," the Doctor point at me when he said that. "It's a bit dodgy this process. You never know what you're going to end up with."
The Doctor doubled over in pain and both Rose and I got up and yelled, "Doctor."
"Stay away."
"Doctor, tell us what's going on," Rose said.
"I absorbed all the energy of the Time Vortex and no one's meant to do that. Every cell in my body is dying."
"Can't you do something?"
"Yeah, doing it now. Time Lords have this little trick. It's sort of a way of cheating death. Except… it means I'm going to change. I'm not going to see you again. Not like this, not with this daft old face. And before I go…"
"Don't say that?" Rose said.
"Rose, Harper… before I go I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And do you know what? So was I!"
He smiled at us and I gave him a big smile back. Right after the Doctor through his head and arm back and light shot out of him. I could see him change from one doctor to the next.
"Hello, okay…. oo. New teeth. That's weird. So where was I? Oh, that's right Barcelona!"
I can say it's going to be interesting with this new Doctor!
Thanks for reading! See you next time, and remember bow ties are cool!
