The Life and Love story of Rose Marion Tyler
Rose shook her head as she came out of her memories once more. She rolled her eyes thinking of her mother's reaction to the fact that she was having not one, but two babies. Not just any babies, no, two hearted alien babies, Time Lord Babies. Christ had Jackie Tyler blown a gasket at that tad bit of info.
Rose was currently writing the next chapter of her life story. She was writing about the spaceship in the 51st century, which had been Mickey's first real journey inside of the TARDIS that had not been based on earth or in their own time period.
She wrote about how The Doctor had discovered that dangerous amounts of raw power enough to punch a decent sized hole in the fabric of reality had somehow been generated inside of what appeared to be a large and deserted spaceship. That power they had soon discovered was being used to power up time windows inside of the ship, time windows that led into 17th century France Versailles.
The Time windows in question had contained different points in time belonging to the short lifetime of Reinette, better known throughout history as Madam De Pompadour, mistress and the unofficial and uncrowned queen of France to King Louis XV.
She mentioned how clockwork men, whose inner workings underneath the 17th century disguise consisted of space age ornate clockwork, a fact which The Doctor had gushed over like a little school girl. The Doctor had an appreciation for the strange yet beautiful wonders of the universe.
She continued to type at a rapid rate, explaining how the clockwork men believed with the aid of Reinette's brain taken from a correct point in time would enable their ship to run properly once more, aided by the various body parts of the cannibalized crewmembers.
She tells of how she and Mickey end up captured by the clockwork men as she and Mickey had been exploring the ship regardless of The Doctor insisting they not wander off. It was during that exploration that they discovered that the clockwork men had used the members of the crew as spare parts to fix the ship; in short they had cannibalized all the unfortunate souls on board.
She and Mickey had almost been mutilated and become a part of the ship like the crew, while The Doctor had been off dancing and drinking with Reinette, so that Reinette could make the king jealous as she was due to sleep with the king that very night and become his mistress.
The Doctor had come along swaying, a goblet of wine in hand, drunkenly singing very loudly and extremely off key with his tie wrapped around his head, and wearing a dark pair of sunglasses as he rescued them. She reveals how she felt an overwhelming urge to knock the living day lights out of The Doctor at the time.
She writes about how he became ensnared by the French noble woman's womanly charms, so ensnared that it seems as if he did not care that he was taking a major risk of being trapped in France. He had carelessly decided to jump onto the back of a white stallion he had named Arthur to go and rescue Reinette from the clockwork men.
She writes about how she and Mickey have to watch him gallop off on the horse, crashing it though a mirror, which happened to be one of the time windows. He shattered the glass destroying the window, which in turn destroyed the link to the ship taking the other windows with it like a domino effect.
She reveals how she and Mickey were trapped on the spaceship without any way of getting home, as neither she nor Mickey knew how to drive the TARDIS. She reveals how The Doctor returns after waiting five and a half hours for him. After hugging her and telling her always to wait five and a half hours for him she watches him go off back to the fireplace to ask Reinette to come along travelling with them in the TARDIS.
He only returned because of how Reinette had her fireplace from her childhood bedroom in Paris shipped over to France, hopping the connection still remained, that she would be able to see The Doctor again. Because the fireplace had been removed it meant the link to the ship had been dormant, merely offline and not broken. This had meant it would have been activated by The Doctor again allowing him to return to her and Mickey.
Unfortunately it was only to discover what was minutes to him was in fact years for her. When he returned for her it is to discover she died waiting for him to come back. She had an illness that made her heart very weak, meaning she died at the age of forty three.
Rose stopped typing to gather her thoughts, as she removed a long strand of hair from her face, which was no longer blonde. She allows her thoughts to wander elsewhere once more. She places her hands over her stomach as she closes her eyes and relaxing back into the high back black leather office chair.
Debussy's Clair DeLune is playing softly in the background. She found these days classical music went a long way towards relaxing her, not allowing her grief over John's death to destroy her. She just hopped within time she would be able to think of him and not feel like her grief was on the verge of swallowing her whole.
Rose thought of how she was looking forward to next month when she finally reached her eighth month of pregnancy. At this point in her pregnancy the twin's brain functions would be developed enough for her to be able to communicate with them telepathically.
She needed the company, besides John's, who she could now communicate with since his consciousness was transferred over to her when he died. It was as if for some reason her mind felt empty, like her new state of mind was always meant to have physical contact with other beings ever since her change.
She now to a certain extent understood why The Doctor had felt tortured when he could no longer hear his own people, but instead a void of such all consuming vastness after his planet was destroyed. Not that what she was experiencing could ever possibly compare with the void he must encounter on a regular basis. It was a fact of nature that a Gallifreyan's mind was never entirely silent.
She closed her eyes as she thought of John and whispered mentally, 'I miss you so much. I feel like I am on the verge of going insane. You are dead, yet I can sense and hear you inside of my mind. You're always there at the back of mind comforting and guiding me. Will you always be with me now and your memories and knowledge always accessible to me?'
His consciousness replied, 'Yes Rose, I will always be with you now. The only way I am going anywhere is when you die for the final time. I am here to stay and guide you through your lifetimes to come. And you can even access the memories of not just me, but of all of my other selves as well. Everything I knew you now know too.'
He concluded, 'Now you get back to writing that book. I am actually enjoying viewing your point of view of all of our adventures.' Rose inwardly rolled her eyes at the command, but never the less got back to work. She set to typing again, gathering her thoughts as she went along pausing now and then to roll her eyes at the occasional comment made here and there from John.
After a while Rose stopped once again as her thoughts trailed off to places she sooner they did not. John sighed wearily, 'Let it out Rose, it might help you to think. Bottling the whole thing up inside of you is going to drive you insane if you don't. I would prefer it if you remained sane, you go insane then I will end up following suit. I'd rather not if it is all the same to you'
Rose gritted her teeth and let herself think of the day she lost John, at least lost him in the sense that he was no longer of flesh and blood and that she could not touch him, could only see an image of him and hear his voice inside of her mind.
