Rose Tyler, a Name (and an IQ) Like a Flower
A/N: Since this is a one-shot with 11 and Rose, I decided to change the quote "Amelia Pond, a name like a fairy tale" to a Rose version for the title. I suppose it is a bit harsh, but I just don't like Rose. She's fine at first, but then you realize that she's just stupid! Plus she gets in the way of a good 10/Martha relationship. *shoots glare a DW writers* THAT NEVER EXISTED BECAUSE OF ROSE! OK, I'm done ranting. As mentioned before, this is an 11/Rose fic. Let's just say that tastes changed as well as appearances post-regeneration… (Fish custard!) Set after Cold Blood.
Disclaimer: Eleni is getting really bad at these. Anyways, Eleni does not own Doctor Who. Good thing too, otherwise Martha and the Doctor would have probably had an actual relationship, and Captain Jack would have been on set a lot longer. Probably would have kissed 10 for good measure a few times as well. (Eleni: I told you put one on though, Hinn, so I didn't COMPLETELY forget. And I doubt if Martha and 10 would have a relationship. It would most likely be a 10/Jack/Ianto threesome kind of thing :D)

Rose Tyler was crying. She'd blasted her way to another dimension, scoured the Earth to find the TARDIS and now, there was a strange man and woman inside.
"Where's my Doctor?" She bawled, thumb in her mouth. She had also, for good measure, located, and consumed the Doctor's super-secret stash of chocolate that he had kept hidden from Donna and Martha, and had even survived Amy. The Doctor stood in shock, a little angry over the loss of his sweets. He really hadn't thought anyone would find them, and he CERTAINLY hadn't thought that Rose Tyler of all people would. Since she was supposed to be in another dimension.
"Ummmm, Rose?" He tentatively inquired.
"How do you know my name?" She sobbed. "What did you do with the Doctor?"
In the meantime, Amy was piecing things together. She'd been told about Rose, and unlike the Doctor, she wasn't having a panic attack.
"Oh just shut up!" Amy ordered. "That's the Doctor; he regenerated while you were gone. Jesus, how hard is it to put two and two together?"
Rose stopped crying and stood up. The possibility had never occurred to her that he might have regenerated while she was gone. And she never had been good at math.
"One, two, three…" she muttered under breath while counting her fingers, "Hold on, I've got this…"
"Wasn't she with you the last time you regenerated?" muttered Amy to the very confused Doctor.
"Yes," he replied with a sigh.
"Oh! I've got it! It's seven!" Rose declared triumphantly, "But what does that have to do with anything?"
"I didn't mean it literally!" Amy said, but it was lost under Rose's mindless chatter.
"Oh Doctor! It's been so long since I've seen you! I do like this new body, but we need to get you into some decent clothes. A bowtie? Really? How could you let him do that?" The last remark was directed towards Amy with a disapproving frown, but before she could reply, Rose was off again. "What is she doing here anyway? Is she like, some kind of evil alien that you captured and are going to put in an intergarbagedumpal, I mean ginterilactic, I mean … space prison? And what's up with the TARDIS? There's something different about it, but I can't quite figure it out… oh I know! You got a typewriter! Why do you want one of those? They're SO old fashioned! It's not even retro!"
"ROSE!" The Doctor shouted. "Just shut up! Amy is my friend, and she's traveling with me, the TARDIS is completely different, typewriters are awesome, and bowties are cool! Why are you here anyway?"
"Oh." said Rose coldly. "I didn't realize you felt that way. I came back to travel with you, but I guess you found someone else."
"But what about other me?" the Doctor asked. Amy cocked her head to one side, confused. He'd never fully explained everything about the clone.
"Oh, him. Yeah, I got bored with him. It turns out that you actually didn't tell him how to grow a TARDIS off screen during the commercial break, (Darn writers,) so we had to stick around Earth. You're surprisingly boring once you can't take me places. I mean, the Taj Mahal? Seriously? He could've just taken me to Las Vegas, but no, we had to go somewhere educational! Anyway, I broke up with him after 2 months."
"What?" The Doctor exclaimed. "You broke up with me? Holy TARDIS, I would've gone insane if you'd left me by choice!"

In an Alternate Universe Far, Far Away
Suzie Derkins opened her eyes. Her last memory was of sitting down in the warm sunlight in a neighborhood park. But now, she was in a strange room, with what appeared to be huge paper mâché tentacles coming out of the floor and ceiling. There was a weird computer kind of thing in the center of the room, and standing in front of it was a man. He was wearing a blue suit and converse, and laughing maniacally. "Come on, Rose! We've got the universe to see!" He yelled at Suzie. Blonde-haired, hazel-eyed, Suzie Derkins, who happened to look a bit like Rose Tyler. Suzie then proceeded to stand up and walk out of the door into the park, much to the dismay of the man inside. She glanced back at the room she'd been imprisoned in, if you could even call her short stay that. The man was gazing at her with wild, pleading eyes. "Please don't go Rose." He whispered. And then a wrecking ball smashed through the wall of the abandoned, blue shed out of nowhere.

"Oh well. All that matters is that I'm here now, Doctor." Rose purred, shoving Amy away so she could stand closer to her one true love.
This made Amy mad. Very mad. So mad, in fact, that she pushed Rose back. Right out of the open door of the TARDIS, actually. After hitting a few buttons on the console that is.
"Nooooooooooooooo! Rose screamed, falling out of the TARDIS into the time vortex.
The Doctor tried to feel sad. Or mad. Or depressed. Or even guilty. Nope. Wasn't working. Instead, he was feeling a sense of relief. But before he got too absorbed into a detailed analysis of his feelings, he noticed that Amy was gone too.
"DOCTOR!" screamed Amelia Pond and it was then that he noticed that Rose had grabbed his new friend on the way out. Amy was dangling by one hand from the edge, inches away from certain death (or whatever happens when you fall into the vortex), with Rose holding onto her shoe.
"Your Converse are SO last year!" screamed Rose, ignoring the fact that 'her' Doctor had worn Converse like that when she traveled with him.
"Hang on, I'm coming!" he called, making his way towards his two companions. The TARDIS was tipping over, causing it to be a very slant-wards descent. He grabbed Amy's hand, trying to pull her up.
Unfortunately for the new trio, Rose's chocolate-eating had caused her to gain a few pounds. So many, in fact, that without Amy to keep a grip, and just the Doctor's shoes, they all fell into the Time Vortex. It was then that the Doctor was finally able to prove his theory that falling into the vortex without any sort of protection ended with immediate disintegration with no chance of regeneration.
Turns out, he was right.

A/N: Thank you Hinn-Raven for writing the end to this chapter! I had writers block, so she had to re-write the end for me cuz' I had a super sucky ending *ashamed face*. Anyway, I'm going on vacation soon, so I probably won't be able to update for another 2 weeks or so. I'll post something as soon as I get back, though, I pinky promise. Review?
