Hiiiiiiiii. Soo... I really never know what to write here.

The Doctor looked at the console, unsure of where she would go next. She had just dropped Osgood on Earth by her request after dealing with a(nother) Dalek invasion.
She let her gaze wander while she thought, and a little while later she found herself staring at one of the chalkboards that her previous self always had around "He never managed to figure out what was that." She mumbled to herself as she looked at the incomplete calculations "But it was that he could think about shortly after regenerating..."
"Shortly... After... Regenerating..." She whispered as she ran around the console, throwing various levers, switches, placing the coordinates and even activating the blue boringers and turning the brakes off (only because she couldn't risk having human self hear her arriving).
Of course, everything clicked on place once she had gotten that piece of the calculation... Except where it had come from, but she already had an idea about it. There weren't many races that had perfected inter-dimensional travel, and only one had any reason to send it to her.
For once she was glad that Chinny had spent so much time tinkering with the Old Girl, because it meant that she just needed to input the calculation and maintain the stability of the bridge that was formed while she moved.
She walked out of the doors and instantly noticed that the air wasn't right. She then looked at the sky and had her suspicions confirmed when she saw the blimps against the blue sky. "No no no. Not here. Why here?" She whispered, slowly walking back towards her TARDIS and hoping that Rose wasn't nearby.
She heard a knock on the door and a voice calling her less than a minute after she had gotten back in. The Doctor briefly thought about simply letting her in, but then decided against it a moment later and activated a hardlight hologram to make it look like Sandshoes was asleep on the chair at the corner of the room.
She heard the door opening a moment later when Rose used her key and turned to look at her. "Where's the Doctor?" She asked, her eyes darting around the console room and finally noticing the hologram at the corner. She ran towards it before the TARDIS deactivated it.
"No no no. Why did you do that?" The Doctor said as she stared at the central column and Rose turned towards her.
"Who are you? What did you do to him?" Rose asked, turning to her "And how are you here? The Doctor said that the walls were completely closed and that it was impossible to come back."
"Voice Interface activate." She whispered, prompting a hologram with her appearance to appear "Show her the regenerations from Sandshoes to Chinny, Old Man and..."
Rose only stared as she saw her Doctor regenerate into the man who had been her teacher when she was a kid, and as she saw him regenerate into an old man. The hologram stopped there as the woman standing besides the console seemed to be thinking about something "Is that him?" Rose asked.
"Used to be... Sorry. It's just that I traveled with that him and the other one. And..." She mumbled before letting it the hologram continue to play out the regeneration as the Old Man regenerated and left Rose staring at an image of her again.
"Doctor?" Rose whispered, walking closer to her "Is that you?"
"Yes Rose. It's me." She answered after a moment "Where's the Metacrisis me? I thought that he would be with you."
"He was... But he was still too human for his Time Lord brain." Rose mumbled, making no movements to stop the tears that sprouted from her eyes.
"When?" She asked, her voice filling with regret for having left Rose in this parallel universe.
"50 years ago." Rose answered after some time had passed.
"It's the Bad Wolf isn't it? That's why you're still the same..." The Doctor whispered "W-Would you want to go back to the other universe?"

Kim: Reasons? I can't write anything close to Donna without my mind getting really annoying. Martha because she already had like a 99.9% happy ending and I don't want to disturb that. SJS for the same reason as Donna and because I only ever watched "Genesis" from the Classics.
MirrorFlower and DarkWind: Thanks for the review.
LadyThetaSigma: Thanks for the review. (I'm sure that I'm already sounding repetitive here.)
Chaotic Time Lady: Continuation? I don't know the meaning of that word...
TimeLordPrime: Well... Still no idea about why Clara was there. My mind is just saying timey-wimey and River at the moment.
Yea. So... looks like I continued this. No, don't do the surprised face. I'm the one doing it. No. You really shouldn't expect it to be completely linear if/when new chapters appear.
(And I might have a plan for a next chapter. Or might not have. Well, it's more like a thing. A very thingy thing. Involving galactic coordinates 10-0-11-0-0 by 02 from Galactic Zero Centre and *draws space-time coordinates during a dream*)
