Wow. Okay...two reviews. Was almost inclined not to post this chapter. I mean if hardly anybody's reading it...but I've got nothing better to do so here you go.
After I finished with the fix-it for Doomsday in the last chapter, I realised it still didn't feel complete. I mean, the other Rose is still stuck there, and what about what happens in series 4? Well here's a run-through of what happens in this version :)
Scene: End of Turn Left
*DOUBLE-TAKE* Part 2
"Everything all right?" The Doctor opened the curtains to the fortune-telling room in Shan Shen and saw his companion Donna with a frightened look on her face. She suddenly came over and threw herself in his arms, then moved to Rose who was standing behind them to do the same.
"Oh, what was that for?" Rose asked her.
"I...I don't know!" She hugged the Doctor again and Rose chuckled.
"It's like something's...binding us together."
"Oh don't be so daft. I'm nothing special."
"Donna, don't say that." Rose interjected.
"Exactly what she said! You're brilliant! In fact, both my woman are. Isn't that right Rose?" The Doctor turned and grinned at his blonde companion.
"Yep, that's us." She replied. "Legendary."
"The Doctor, Rose and Donna. Legends of the skies."
"Hold on, she said that." 'Legends of the Skies'.
"Who did?"
"That woman. In the other universe. I can't remember."
"She never existed now."
"No, but she said the stars. The stars were going out."
"But that world is gone."
"No, but she said it was all worlds. Every world. She said the darkness is coming, even here." The Doctor glanced back at Rose in confusion. She looked confused as well.
"Who was she?" The Doctor said, turning back to Donna.
"I don't know."
"What did she look like?" Donna thought hard but it was still a bit fuzzy.
"She was...blonde, like Rose." Rose inhaled sharply. Could it...?
"Did she say who she was?"
"I don't think so."
"Donna, did she say who she was?" Another image flashed in her head.
"But she told me to warn you, to warn you both. She said to tell you she's coming, and to tell you one word."
"What, what did she say?" Rose looked at the Doctor worriedly, a sinking feeling in her chest.
"What was it?" The Doctor's voice grew in dread and anticipation. Donna concentrated again, then said quietly.
"Doppelganger. She said 'doppelganger'." The Doctor and Rose's eyes grew in horror. Immediately he grabbed her hand and without a word dashed out to the TARDIS outside. Donna followed after them, wondering what the hell it was that had put them on edge. When she burst into the TARDIS after her fellow companions, she saw it was bathed in a strange red light. A low pitched bell rang around them.
"Guys, doppelganger, what does it mean?" The Doctor gripped Rose's hand even tighter. She looked up at him, fear in her eyes.
"It's the end of the universe."
The Doctor had become very frustrated after finding the whole Earth had disappeared. It just didn't make sense. He needed more information. Rose was off towards the side, and he could tell she was worried about her possibly vengeful and slightly imbalanced doppelganger. He wanted to assure her that everything would work out, but he couldn't make himself. How could he tell her if he didn't believe it himself, after what had happened last time? She was shot for Rassilon's sake! Instead he ignored Rose and turned to Donna.
"Tell us everything that happened, in that parallel world." Donna had recalled pretty much everything after Rose had explained the creation of her "ganger" nearly a year before Donna had joined the two of them on their adventures.
"Well," She started. "I didn't remember you two, see? I guess it started the night after the Thames was drained, some uniformed men were rolling out two stretchers..."
"They found two bodies. A man and a woman. The man was definitely the Doctor. Both died of drowning but the female had a concussion and was likely unconscious when she died." Donna felt a sadness in her heart, so deep that she didn't hear the hurried footsteps behind her. She jumped when a voice spoke.
"Who did they find?" Donna spun around and saw a distressed blonde woman in a blue leather jacket.
"Just a bloke, called the Doctor I think, and a girl." She replied, wondering if this woman had known them. "They're dead." The woman opened her mouth in shock.
"No, this isn't right." She said after a moment. "They're not supposed to be dead. You were supposed to save them!" The woman looked strangely at Donna as her gaze shifted to her shoulder.
"Their names were the Doctor and Rose Tyler. Legends of the skies. Saved planets, civilizations, and never knowing the damage they caused in their wake." Although Donna was still overwhelmed at explosion in the night sky above them, she couldn't help but notice the bitterness in the mysterious woman's voice.
"Did you know them?" She asked. The blonde laughed with the same bitter tone, fingering the wooden bench under them.
"Better than most. Not that it matters now." She slammed her fist on the bench. "And I was going to make them pay for what they did to me." She spat the last part. Donna frowned. She would have asked her to elaborate but wisely knew she wouldn't get anywhere. Instead she asked a different question.
"So what's your name then?" The woman turned her head to look at her, a halfhearted smile on her face.
"Just call me Bad Wolf."
"Now hold on." The Doctor interrupted Donna's tale. "That's copyrighted. Right Bad Wolf?" Rose slapped his arm lightly and giggled.
"Go on Donna." She urged her friend.
"Bad Wolf. That's a strange name."
"Yes, but a more powerful name than anyone will ever know. Well, except for maybe the Doctor's real name."
"I can't make sense of a single word you're saying."
"But you were supposed to be there that day." Bad Wolf continued without bothering to explain. "They died under the Thames. The Doctor was so enraged that his Rose was nearly killed that he went berserk, eventually killing them both. You were supposed to remind him of the good he does." Donna was silent for a moment.
"Why do you keep staring at my back?"
"Three weeks. You'll join me in three weeks."
"And then, in order to set things right again, I...well I guess she, had to get my past self to turn left by stepping in front of a truck."
As Donna lay dying, the blonde woman who referred to herself only as Bad Wolf came over and leaned over her.
"When you see them, the Doctor and Rose, tell them I'm coming. And tell them this: one word." She then leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"Doppelganger."
"I wonder how she got her memory back." Rose said ruefully.
"What I want to know is how she came back to this universe." The Doctor said, walking over to the console. "The walls between universes must be collapsing." With the Earth gone, he needed to find out as much as he could. And maybe finding Rose's ganger would answer a few questions.
"But how are we going to find her, much less Earth?" Rose asked. In all honesty, she was a bit scared. If she was the ganger and had gained her memory back about what they had done to her...she had every right to be worried. Her clone could potentially shatter everything she and the Doctor had built together, their entire lives could be ruined.
"First stop, the Shadow Proclamation. Maybe they have information about the other missing planets."
"Yes!" Rose immediately cried, brightening up. "I've always wanted to visit the Shadow Proclamation!"
"Ever since you stood up to the Sycorax? 'I...um address the Sycorax...uh, according to umm, Article 15 of the, uh, the Shadow Proclamation. " The Doctor quoted her nervous speech exaggerated and cheekily.
"Oi! I didn't say it like that! And you were supposed to be asleep then!"
"I saved your sorry blonde hide, didn't I though?"
"Don't you two ever stop flirting?" Donna rolled her eyes and Rose blushed furiously.
The Doctor, Rose and Donna stepped out of the TARDIS and onto an empty street. Something still didn't feel right.
"Hold on, when you talked to Rose's clone in that parallel world, did she say anything else about what was happening, anything at all?"
"Just that 'the darkness was coming'."
"That's it?" Just as Donna noticed a figure behind them someone grabbed the Doctor's shoulder and spun him around. He couldn't even say a word before her fist shot out and connected with his jaw. He reeled back, clutching his chin where blood was beginning to drip from his mouth. Immediately the real Rose sprang onto her clone and the two began to wrestle insanely, even so much as falling to the ground. One of them growled as the other attempted to strangle her. The Doctor tried to break them up but a chilling cry stopped them all.
"EXTERMINATE!" The Doctor immediately leapt in front of the two Roses and the Dalek's ray burst through his body. He cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground. Soon after Jack appeared and destroyed the Dalek with his blaster.
"Doctor!" The original Rose collapsed at his side. "Doctor, look at me."
"I'm so sorry." He gasped.
"No, don't! Not after all we've been through. Sycorax, Cybermen, Weeping Angels, the Master, remember him? No you can't die!" The flesh Rose stood off to the side, tears in her eyes and Donna had her hand over her mouth in horror.
"Get him inside the TARDIS, quick!" Jack ordered the three of them, barely registering that there were two Roses.
As the Doctor's form burst into the light of regeneration, Jack held the two Roses and Donna as they turned to shield their eyes from the light.
"I'm still me." As the Doctor embraced his Rose in the brown sweater, Jack noticed how the other Rose turned away with an angry and hurt expression on her face and tears in her eyes. He didn't understand why there were two Rose Tylers yet, but he would learn eventually. He took the Rose in the blue leather jacket off to the side.
"Don't cry Rosie." He wiped her tears away with his thumb. She smiled sadly.
"She hates it when you call her that." With a strangled sob she embraced Jack. "I missed you." She said, grateful that at least someone cared about her.
And then the power went out.
After quickly explaining to Jack what had happened, the Doctor looked at the ganger expectantly.
"What?"
"How did you get your memory back?" The ganger made a noise of disgust in her mouth.
"Like you care."
"I do. We both do." He motioned to the other Rose. "We created you."
"And left me to live a life of loneliness!" She retorted.
"We're sorry." The real Rose said. "But Doctor, there's not enough time." Already they could tell the ship would be boarding the Crucible soon. The Doctor came up to the ganger, his hands out.
"Oh no!" She jumped back. "I remember what happened last time you put your hands on my head."
"I'm just going to figure out what happened, we deserve to know why."
"You don't deserve anything from me! What happened to me is all your fault!"
"Rose, let him do it." The ganger turned her head to Jack who was standing beside her. "Don't hold on to this anger inside you." She was distracted long enough for the Doctor to place his hands on her temple and read her memories. Within a few seconds he was able to see the last few years of her life, specifically the events that caused her to regain her memory...
"You must be one of the new transfers." The ganger Rose smiled, sticking her hand out to shake the young man's hand. "Welcome to Torchwood, I'm Rose Tyler."
"Joey." He replied with a smile. "Joey Turner." He was in his early-twenties, short, with golden brown hair, an American accent and curious green eyes. Joey leaned in closer to Rose, as if to tell her a secret.
"Hey, I know we're not supposed to talk about it for some reason, but is it really true this is the Torchwood where the legendary Doctor defeated the Cybermen?" Rose looked bewildered.
"The Doctor, who's the Doctor?" She would have demanded an answer from him but Joey's intercom went off and he had to report for orientation.
Later that day...
Rose and Pete Tyler were working quietly. The former was cataloging disruptors, and the latter reviewing computerized plans for a recently crashed Turlon Warship. They were the only two in the room.
Rose sighed. Another broken one. She tossed the twelfth disruptor in the bin and glanced over at her father. She loved the crease in his forehead whenever he studied something with great thought. She remembered what the new bloke Joey had said to her.
"Dad?"
"Yes Rose?" He answered without looking away from the screen.
"Who's the Doctor?" Pete suddenly spun out of his chair. He rushed over to her side.
"What? Where did you hear that name?" He nearly shouted at her and grabbed her shoulders. "Who told you that name?!" He repeated. Rose was frightened by the look in his eyes.
"Joey Turner, one of the new recruits. Said he was 'legendary'." Peter stood up and turned away from her, grabbing his intercom. He pressed a button and spoke into it.
"Security Alert. Arrest Joey Turner. Don't give him a reason, just throw him in cell block 8 for now."
"Dad, what's wrong, what's going on? Was it something I said?" Pete turned back to his 'daughter'.
"Nothing sweetheart. How are you feeling? Any headaches?"
"No."
"Anything different?"
"Well, it does feel a bit warm in here, and this place is usually cold as the freezer." Pete got that worried look again in his eyes.
After that Rose began to notice more and more odd things, things she hadn't noticed before. The way that everyone referred to the local doctors as medics, the quickly shut off screens showing plans of a blue police box, the hushed whispers about her, saying things like 'post traumatic stress and amnesia'. She wanted to find out answers without causing her father any worry, so one morning she went down to the holding cells to see Joey.
He still didn't know why he was arrested, and all he knew was that the Doctor was some kind of alien who saved the whole planet about six months ago. He then mentioned a closed off room on the top floor where they kept things pertaining to him. She went up to take a look...
Rose gripped the door handle, a sudden feeling of nausea coming over her for the third time that day. She wiped sweat off the side of her face(why was it still so hot in here?) and threw open the door.
She gasped. Somehow she knew it was all of her things. Details posters with layouts of the Dimension Cannon, a box filled with tiny clay and wooden phone boxes and photos of a man in a pinstriped brown suit, papers upon papers of info about many things: parallel worlds, things called Daleks and TARDISes and Cybermen and Time Lords, among other things. Rose picked up one of the photos and immediately dropped it like it had shocked her. It was her, standing with the man in the suit.
The Doctor.
And suddenly she remembered it all. She grabbed her head and screamed as her body temperature shot up and her head began pounding furiously. Memories crashed into her head like a tsunami. Growing up in the parallel world, seeing her real father die in her arms, the sight of a man in a leather jacket grabbing her hand.
"Run!"
"I could save the world but lose you."
"I think you need a Doctor."
"And it's gonna be...fantastic."
"Straight from the fridge man!"
"Who's gonna hold his hand now?"
"I can pause time for twenty-four hours."
The ganger dropped to her knees as her fake memories crumbled. The remembrance of her creation, betrayal and abandonment rushed in. The living flesh, the knife in the machine, the still-warm gun in her hand, the Doctor's cold fingers on her temple, the strange feeling she felt on her arms at the beach, the way people looked at her strangely after her memory was gone and how her so-called parents treated her like a thousand-dollar glass figurine for three months.
"NO!" Rose screamed, shaking back and forth and sobbing at the enormity of it all. "No!" So engrossed was she in her agony she didn't notice Pete run in and stop at the doorway. He grabbed his intercom.
"Emergency, Code Bad Wolf."
Rose continued to sob, one hand over her eyes, the other's fingernails scratching at the floor, before curling up and digging into her flesh, causing a liquid-like gel to form where blood should have been. Without a word Pete dropped to his knees in front of her. The Rose clone turned to him and began beating her fists furiously on him.
"Why?!" She cried. Pete ignored her and instead embraced her tightly. Soon she stopped fighting him and grabbed his shirt. She sobbed into his chest.
"They left me." She choked.
"I know." He held her as she continued to weep, the enormity of everything that had been hidden from her proving to be too much. He let go of her as the Emergency Medical Team arrived and sedated her.
When she woke up, both Pete and Jackie were there. They helped explain everything. After a few 'therapy sessions', she was able to live with herself and the rejection...
Both the Doctor and the ganger gasped as he removed his hands from her temple. The Doctor looked at her as she turned away in shame.
"You were able to live with yourself...but that didn't stop the anger, did it?" She turned her emotional eyes back to look at him.
"It didn't. I am...was..." She sighed in frustration. "I was just so angry at you two. Dumping me and making me pay the price of a loveless and empty life while you two reaped the benefits of my sacrifice." She looked over at the other Rose who was watching with guilty eyes. "But seeing you two now, me actually being here I...I want it too, but I see just how much you both are supposed to be together. I mean, I love you, I'm just like her," She pointed to the other Rose, who was trying to hide her embarrassment, having not yet brought up her and the Doctor's relationship with him yet. She almost did that one time the Doctor's human counterpart John Smith fell in love with the librarian Miss Tyler.
"I always will love you." The ganger continued, not noticing Rose's discomfort. "But I can't touch this. I don't want to." Her eyes filled with tears. The real Rose looked at the Doctor with sympathetic eyes. After all, it was their fault. They had created her and forced her to go through all that pain.
Without another word the two of them came over and embraced the clone. After a few seconds Jack appeared behind them, a cheeky grin on his face.
"I guess this is fulfilling one of the Doctor's more sensual dreams."
"Well..." The Doctor shrugged.
"Oi!" The real Rose cried, slapping his cheek. The clone giggled through her tears as Donna rushed over and saved the Time Lord from any further harm.
"Got the arm of her mother she does." He muttered, rubbing the spot.
"900 years and you've never been slapped by somebody's mother?" The two Rose's quoted him in unison. Jack pounded the side of his head, as if to clear his ears out.
"Bad enough I have double-vision. Now I'm having double-hearing." He threw an arm around each of the Roses and was about to say another smart remark when the TARDIS began to shake and chilling cries of Daleks echoed all around them.
"Doctor! You will step forth or die!"
The Doctor, Jack and both Roses were helpless as the TARDIS with Donna inside was being torn apart by the raging flames. The first Rose could sense the Time Lord's desperation, and she walked up and grabbed his hand for support. The ganger leaned on to Jack and watched with terror filled eyes as he pulled her to him with one arm.
"You. Are. Bonkers!" Donna could barely believe it. There was another Doctor standing right in front of her!
"Why, what did I do?" The new Doctor buttoned his suit up.
"Is that what we do on this TARDIS then? First Rose and then you. Am I gonna have a clone as well?"
"Oh no, this is unique, well, I am. Rose's clone that was on purpose. But you and me, my hand just happened to have all that regeneration energy. You touched it and then WHAM! Shh!"
"This I have foreseen, in the wild, in the wind. Beware of the Big Bad Wolves. Double-vision will soon be multiplied!" Dalek Caan cackled insanely.
"Doctor, what does he mean?" The first Rose asked, unable to remove her eyes from the monster. He shook his head. He had no idea.
Friends and enemies alike could only watch in shock as the TARDIS materialized from what seemed like the fires of hell. The doors slowly opened and a man stepped out.
"Brilliant." Jack whispered, seeing who it was.
"What?" One of the Roses remarked. The man began to rush towards Davros, brandishing a strange weapon.
"Don't!" The Doctor cried as the creator of the Daleks shot him down.
"Doctor!" cried another from the TARDIS. It was Donna. She ran over to the gun and picked it up.
"Donna, get out of here!" The human Rose cried. But it was too late.
"And I got the best bit of the Doctor...his mind." No one could remove their eyes from Donna as she told the tale of how she became the DoctorDonna.
"So there's three of you?" Sarah Jane piped up.
"Three Doctors and Two Roses." The ganger said with wide eyes. Jack got an overwhelmed look on his face.
"Wait, are three of my clones going to burst through the door next?"
"Wouldn't mind that." Donna said with a cheeky smile while the two Doctors looked ready to hurl.
There was a rare feeling of united joy inside the TARDIS. Five figures stood around the console of the TARDIS awaiting to be taught to fly it by the Doctor: Martha, Sarah Jane, Jack, Mickey and Rose's ganger. Four more stood off to the side: Donna, the Doctor's clone, the original Rose and Jackie. Both halves of the Metacrisis already knew how to fly the sentient ship and Rose had given her ganger a chance to do something she could only ever dream about.
"I've helped him fly a million times before." Rose said to her mother. She smiled as her ganger giggled with excitement as the Doctor stood beside her and guided and the rest of them.
"Let me look at you sweetheart." Jackie said, turning to see the daughter she had originally raised. Rose's eyes immediately filled with tears.
"Mum, I-" She hadn't seen her mother in over three years, counting the year that never was.
"No dear, not another word. I know." Nevertheless when Jackie embraced her, Rose buried her face in her shoulder, whispering
"I'm so sorry."
When they had finally landed, the Doctor motioned at Sarah Jane and the two of them stepped outside. Rose leaned up against the console, contemplating and watching everybody. Specifically her clone and the Doctor's clone, who were currently staring at each other in wonder as if they couldn't believe what had happened, fingers intertwined. Rose grinned knowingly. Wasn't too hard to see where that was going to go.
"Come on, we should go too." Jack leaned over and grabbed Martha's hand and they headed out. Rose saw Mickey talking to Jackie. By the look on his face she figured he was leaving too. Maybe she'd get a chance to talk to him next time they came back to Earth.
Donna had just gotten off the phone when the Doctor came back in.
"One more trip?" Rose asked, smiling at him knowingly as she motioned to their clones, still staring at each other. The Doctor grinned back, nodding.
The Metacrisis and the Flesh stepped out first, still holding hands. Jackie followed them out, grinning as she saw the daughter she had taken care of for the last few years finally happy. Donna, Rose and the Doctor came out last.
"A universe just isn't complete with out the Doctor and Rose, isn't it?" The Doctor said. "And with the TARDIS too. Rose?" Rose threw a piece of coral that the Doctor had given her earlier, to her ganger, who caught it easily.
"Thanks." She grinned at her counterpart.
"As it should be." The Doctor finished. "But...that's not all. You two need each other."
"Well that's a given." The ganger replied.
"No, it's just...we saved the universe but at a cost. Him." He motioned to his clone. "He destroyed the Daleks, he committed genocide. He's dangerous. And you Rose," He said to the ganger. "You're still so full of anger and bitterness."
"You made me." She spat, proving the Doctor to be right. The Metacrisis placed a hand on her shoulder and her look turned remorseful.
"Exactly. You need each other now. Make each other better. Be the Doctor and Rose Tyler that you're supposed to be."
"I think we can do that." The Doctor's clone said, smiling.
"But it's better than that though." Donna interjected. "Rose, that's not all they're giving you. Tell her!" She said to the other half of the DoctorDonna. The clone Rose let go of his hand as he turned around to face her.
"I'm just like you. I've got the same memories, same thoughts as he does as you do with Rose. Except I've only got one heart."
"Yeah, and?"
"I'm part human."
"And I'm all modified flesh." She held up her hand to demonstrate, a trace of bitterness still in her voice. It would take her a while to get over that.
"Yes," He said exasperatedly. "but I'll grow old and never regenerate. I've only got one life to live. We could live it...together."
"B-but how do I know I won't age? I'm not human after all."
"Oh, you will." The Doctor spoke up. "The flesh mimics human DNA as much as possible. You'll both grow old at the same time." The flesh Rose's face turned to a softer one.
"Well, in that case..." She grabbed the lapels of the Doctor in blue and pulled him in for a very passionate kiss. The Metacrisis opened his eyes in shock, before recovering and kissing her back with just as much enthusiasm.
The real Rose grinned but then felt a pang in her heart, knowing she'd never done that with her Doctor without being possessed or on the brink of death, and probably never would.
"But I wouldn't have it any other way." She concluded as she hugged her mother goodbye and followed the Doctor and Donna back inside the TARDIS.
The Rose ganger grinned against the clone Doctor's mouth as she watched the TARDIS disappear out of the corner of her eye, the wheezing sound fading around them both.
"Well, now that that's done, I thought we'd try the planet Felspoon. What do you think Rose?"
Wilf watched the mournful pair as they stared back at him from under the pouring rain.
"Every day. I'll think of you two. On her behalf." Donna had been the best friend they'd ever had, and now the part of her that knew them was gone forever.
The Doctor turned away and pulled Rose with him. She looked back at Wilf and mouthed "Thank you."
Linking his hand with hers, they walked back to the TARDIS together. Rose shut the door as the Doctor walked towards the console to set them in flight. She sighed sadly as she wrung the rainwater out of her hair. No more habitually teasing the Doctor, no more late girl nights, no more snarky remarks to the Doctor's every word...
"Rose?" She jerked out of her trance at the Doctor's voice laced with sorrow. She didn't think he'd be speaking for at least another hour. He did the same after Jenny was killed in front of him.
"Yeah?" She replied, coming up to stand next to him. She went to pull a lever on the console but the Doctor shook his head, instead pointing to a button on her right. She pressed it and frowned. She still needed more lessons.
"I...I don't know if I could have made it through all this without you." Rose turned him around and hugged him.
"I'll miss her too." She whispered in his ear. The Doctor shuddered in her grasp, pulling her closer to himself.
A while later Rose came back out to the console room, freshly showered and with a few hours sleep, changing out of her wet clothes and into a gray top with a short black skirt and purple leggings. She felt a lot better than she had earlier. Sure, she would always miss Donna, but that was the life traveling with a Time Lord, which she had accepted. And speaking of Time Lords...
"You didn't change?" Rose asked incredulously, seeing him in the same, previously wet and wrinkled brown suit.
"My blue suit is gone." He replied with a mock frown on his face. "He took it, remember?"
"Yeah, but the TARDIS can just make you a new one, can't she?" She strode over and stood next to him.
"Didn't want to give you a fright." He retorted. "You might have thought my clone and I got mixed up."
"You are my Doctor right?" She asked with a grin. The Doctor puffed out his chest.
"See for yourself." She placed her hands on his chest and was rewarded by the four beats of his two hearts. She lowered her hands and smiled.
"So, where to next?"
"Well, we can go anywhere, any when." Rose watched him as he continued to talk, at the same time preparing the TARDIS for a destination. She looked at his lips and her heart sank. True, she wouldn't trade places with her clone, but she couldn't help but imagine what it must have felt like to kiss the Doctor, to have him love her in return. Obviously her Doctor had a real fondness for her, maybe even the same feelings as his clone, but was the barrier between their species too vast? She hadn't had the courage to ask him yet. Their friendship was too important to her, and she wasn't about to risk that, not for anything.
She stopped as she realised the Doctor had stopped talking, instead staring at her with a wistful look on his face that seemed to match her own.
"What?" She inquired. In a second he was by her side. Without replying he gingerly reached over and put a hand on her chin. Slowly pulling his lips to hers, Rose's eyebrows shot up as their lips touched. Their kiss started out small and delicate, but quickly turned into something more deep, forceful and hungry. Rose shuddered as he pushed her up against the console. Her fingers found her way up to his hair and ran through them. The Doctor groaned as her tongue did extraordinary things in his mouth.
But it couldn't last forever, and they soon pulled apart, breathing heavily from lack of air and nervousness, even with the Doctor's advanced respiratory system.
"Brilliant." He whispered.
"W-what was that for?" Rose asked, a completely dazed look on her face. The Doctor's face was flushed as he explained.
"Well, I kept imagining what my clone must have felt like kissing your ganger. I wanted to try it out for myself."
"And...did you like it?" She was almost afraid to ask. The Doctor leaned forward so that their noses were barely touching.
"Absolutely." he whispered. "Will definitely have to practice it more." Rose couldn't keep the ecstatic smile off her face as he kissed her again. It felt like her life couldn't possibly get any better. The Doctor suddenly released her and his face lit up in inspiration.
"I've got it!"
"Got what?" She replied, still a little bewildered.
"Where to go!" He jumped forward and set the TARDIS in flight.
"Where, where are we going?" The Doctor looked at her and laughed gleefully.
"Christmas!"
If we give it just one more try,
Maybe we could stop this goodbye.
Through all the fire and rain,
Somehow somewhere,
I know through all this pain...
Somehow somewhere love remains.
So baby just breathe in, breathe out.
I never wanted to give up this fight.
What if we give it baby one more try?
Let's try, this time."
And there you have it! Hope you enjoyed it :) Again the song is Somewhere Love Remains by Lady Antebellum. Hope you didn't mind that I didn't run through the entire series 4 finale, I figured the parts I skipped would pretty much be the same, so I touched on the important parts only.
Thanks! ~BADWOLF~
