Better With Two

Chapter Two: Meeting New Friends

By: Dame Rose Tyler

Here's chapter two, I figured since I had some ideas running around in my head I should put them on paper, and this one ended up being way longer. More of the creating a back story at this point, something that leads up to the reunion and the adventures to come, those of course will be the sequel to this one. Oh so many plans and Ideas running though my head. Well enjoy!

The Board room was silent; Rose could hear her hearts beating wildly. Hearts, it still sounded so foreign to her. The Time Lords were due to arrive at any minute and the only thoughts going through her mind is what were they like and can they help her go home. Jackie had called the minute she found out in hysterics and demanded that Rose come home before she left. Rose could only smile, knowing her mother meant well. She knew she would never see her again when she made it home.

The door to the board room opened slowly revealing the Time Lords. They wore extravagant robes with high collars. Their faces where old but Rose knew they were no older then The Doctor. It was also the first time she felt it, that comfort in the back of her mind that the doctor had mentioned on numerous times. Apparently the other time lords felt her as well and raised an eye brow at her.

"You are not of this planet, so why do you remain here?" Rose nodded to their comments and Rose to greet them with respect.

Raising her hand across her chest Rose bowed.

"I appreciate your presence here, and the councils willingness to meet with me. To answer your first question, I was born Human. I will fill you in on the details at a later time. The reason I'm still here though is the fact I was trapped here."

From there they sat and Rose began her tale. She told them of the battle of Canary Warf, of the Cyber men and the Dalecks. She also told them to the Doctor and her home universe. When she was finished the two Time Lords turned to one another. Their thoughts were blocked from Rose, but she knew they were speaking of the actions that needed to be taken.

"Rose, the council has agreed to help you on conditions. Since your Doctor is rouge in your universe, you must complete the academy on galiffrey before we can give you the means to return home. "

Rose nodded, 'Why have they decided this?"

"We need someone in that universe to maintain time and space as it was meant to, set out by the shadow proclamation and the laws of our people. From what you say, your doctor, as you call him has forgotten the ways of his people. We leave it to you upon your return to that universe to set him on the correct path once again."

Rose stood and paced for a moment, her hand rubbing her check as she thought.

"I will do what you ask of me, only because I know that I will be of better use if I obtain the knowledge necessary to complete the task of returning home."

The times lords nodded and stood, "We will leave tomorrow. Until then we would like to set up a treaty with this planet and have the shadow proclamation put into place with this institute so no life forms rights are violated."

Rose smiled, "Of course, we don't want any sycorax trying to enslave the planet or anything." Mickey laughed and followed Rose and the Time Lords back to her office. Mickey of course was in his own world. Rose was going to leave, and from what he understood from the doctor the academy took years to complete.

"Rose;" His voice quite. "Will we see you again?" Rose looked back at Mickey and then at the Time Lords.

"Remember what the Doctor said, it travels in time too." Rose smiled and looked back at her new friends, her new family in a way. She felt their amusement radiate though the link she now shared with their people.

"She will be granted a Tardis as she calls it when she complete the academy and then return to this point at the exact moment she left it. My next question for you Miss. Tyler is what name will you choose to call yourself?"

Rose placed a finger on her chin thinking. "I guess I can call myself the doctor here in this universe." They nodded in understanding; she wished to honor what she was fighting for.

"We have brought papers to be signed by someone other than you Doctor." Rose glanced at them and a thought struck her.

"Do you have real names? Or aliases?" The Time Lords smiled and nodded.

"We have names but we may only use them while we are children and with our mates. Why do you ask?"

"No reason really it's just that the Doctor never told us his name, and I wasn't sure if it was because he couldn't remember it, or because he didn't have one." Rose laughed, "I also thought that maybe he just had parents that really liked Snow White, and named him after one of the seven dwarfs." The two time lords joined rose in her laughter. Pete of course chose that moment to walk in.

"Mickey says that someone other than rose has to sign the treaty. " Rose smiled and nodded. Pete sat at the table near the two Time lords his face blank of any real emotion.

"Your mother also said to call her once you're done." Rose sighed and sat behind her desk. Her sonic screw driver on the floor was picked up by one of the time lords.

'Did you make this?" Rose smiled and held out her hand, the time lord placed It in her palm.

"No, the original is my doctors; I just borrowed the plans and added my own flare to it."

"It's very well crafted, if you're able to that with such a young mind I can only imagine what you will be capable of at later dates."

"The doctor always did say she was clever."

Rose smiled at a memory of the doctor complaining about stupid apes, if only he could see what she had become. She did this for him, only to discover it too late.

"May I ask Doctor, how did you become a Time Lord if you are originally from Earth?" Rose's face grew sad at the thoughts that lead her to become what she was now.

"There were Dalek's, the emperor to be exact, and the Doctor sent me back to Earth in the past while he fought to save us. He was going to die to save everyone. I had only one thought; I couldn't let him do it. So I pried open the Tardis controls and looked into the heart, straight into the vortex. I turned the Daleks to dust. Of course the doctor said no one was meant to have all that power floating in their head so he took it from me and regenerated because of it."

The two Time Lords where shocked, they had never heard of any being other then Rossilen who had ever absorbed the whole of the vortex and lived. It left them both with a sense of ah and wonder that this simple human was able to absorb retain and even change her own DNA with it.

"You will be a great wonder to many people on Galiffrey. If you were able to do that, you will be a great Time Lady." Rose Blushed.

"Well we should get these papers done so I can show you around."

Pete read over the files and asked the occasional question. The meeting ended without fault and the treaty would take effect immediately. From Pete's perspective he said it would make dealing with the hostile aliens a little easier. Especially when one knew that they had the Time Lords as back up when they needed it.

Well there ya go, the next chapter will be Rose dealing with Jackie and preparing to leave. I wanted to add the part about Rossilen being the only other being to do it for a reason; I mean he created the time lords. So it's very important… look at me giving away plot secrets… Well review and I'll post another chapter a little later.
