Hope
Eleven x Rose
Rose programmed the Canon. Everything was ready, it was her chance to return to her world. It took three centuries for Rose to work on the canon. A long time ago, the Doctor had left Rose in Bad Wolf Bay with his clone, John. Although the situation seemed complicated, Rose fell in love with John. They had married and had a life together. It had taken a short time for them to understand that Rose was not growing old.
'It's because of Bad Wolf,' John said.
A tiny part was still in her, so Rose was no longer totally human. Her parents, her brother and John had died a long time ago. In three centuries she had traveled, met people, but it was time for her to got back to the Doctor. She did not lose hope and knew that one day they would meet again.
Rose took a deep breath and activated the canon. In a few seconds, she found herself in a city covered with snow. She immediately recognized London in the twenty-first century. And from the lights and the decorations, it was Christmas time. She walked the streets she knew. It was as if she never left. She could feel the presence of the TARDIS who led her to it. Because of Bad Wolf, Rose now shared a link with the ship. The presence of the TARDIS was growing stronger and Rose knew she was not very far away. After a while, she found the blue box, hidden in an alley out of sight. She ran to the TARDIS and put her hand on the door. She could feel the vibration of the ship that told her it was happy to see her again. Rose smiled and without further ado, she took the key she had always kept with her and opened the door. Once inside, she saw a man who had his back to her. He mumbled something incomprehensible and pressed all the buttons. It was the Doctor. He's regenerated, Rose thought. He no longer looked like the man she had known, but it did not matter. He was still the Doctor. Rose went toward him and could understand what he was saying.
'No, it's not possible,' he said, looking on the screen. 'There must be an error, she can't be there.'
'Doctor. '
The Doctor froze for a few seconds before turning toward her. Rose saw his new face. He was not yet in his thirties, he had brown hair, green eyes and a big chin. He wore a tweed jacket, and a bow tie. The Doctor stared at her wide-eyed, wondering if she was there or if it was a hallucination. Hewent toward her and gently took her hand to make sure she was real.
'Rose,' he said.
'I'm back.'
The Doctor grinned. He took her in his arms refusing to let her go, afraid that she disappear again. For the first time in a long time, both were really happy. Rose had never lost hope. She had always known that the Doctor and her would be together again.
