A/N: Wow. Can't believe I'm writing so much. Just got home from school! Good news, this new chapter happened! Bad news, you might not get any more until Sunday, when I drive back. Also, when I get back, I'll have finals to study for, so honestly, if you see any chapters the second week of December, you should make me feel bad for not studying!

Thank you all for the overwhelming response! Every time I get an email, I get all happy!

"Whatever you do, Rose, don't blink," Amy warned.

"But why? What does it do?" Rose asked, confused.

The Doctor (the new one, that is) was now at her side. "It's called a Weeping Angel. They're incredibly fast, but they can't move if they can be seen. But if they get you, they zap you back into a random point in time, and you're made to live the rest of your life there," he explained.

"Then we have a problem, Doctor, because there was another one standing in the living room. I thought it was some cheesy Christmas decoration Mum was going for this year."

She suddenly turned and bolted back into her flat, going directly to the room she shared with her Doctor. Her stomach dropped when she found that the angel in the living room had moved, and was just around the corner from the front door. She stared at it, willing her eyes not to close, not even for a millisecond.

"Doctor!" she called, and the new Doctor came running inside. "No, sorry, not you. But while you're here, watch this one, will you?"

With the confidence that the Doctor would watch the angel, but without the slightest bit of confidence that her Doctor, her John Smith, would be awaiting her in their room, she turned and made her way the few steps down the hallway, finding the door standing open, and the bed empty. She swallowed her nerves and turned around to face her mother's room, the door to which was also open. No sign of Jackie, either.

Back out in the living room, and with tears lining her eyes, she found the new Doctor, still staring at the angel.

"Rose, I think it might be best if we got out of here," he told her.

She nodded, and they back out of the room, eyes still focused on the angel, with its eyes uncovered and face pulled back in a snarl. It was attacking.

Outside the door, they found Amy, Rory, and River watching the other angel.

"Keep watching it," the Doctor announced. "But come with us. We're going to get back to the TARDIS.

"You're going to save them," Rose said.

He didn't answer.

"Aren't you?" she clarified.

"Rose, I – "

"YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE THEM. You have to save him. You left me on that godforsaken beach with nothing left of you but him and my memories, and guess what, Doctor? My memories aren't enough! And now you've gone off and changed, and I need the Doctor that loves me. So, YOU ARE GOING TO BRING HIM BACK TO ME." Her sudden outburst stunned everyone, and they stopped in their retreat from the angel.

"I'm going to try," he told her, with sad eyes. He wrung his hands, and ducked his head down.

A few moments of silence passed as everyone looked at each other. Finally, River asked, "So whose turn was it to watch the angel?"

They all turned, and found the snarling faces of two Weeping Angels just meters away from where they stood.

"Right, TARDIS. Now."

Once back inside the safety of the mad man's blue box, River joined the Doctor at the console, while Rose, Amy, and Rory sat down together on the steps.

"Are you going to be able to find him?" she asked, in a hushed voice.

He sighed. "I don't know. They could be anywhere in time. But there is one thing that I promised myself, and I don't intend to break this promise, I won't let Rose Tyler down any more."

"You won't."

"How do you know?"

"Spoilers." River winked at him.

"You know River, secrets are the fastest route to a failed marriage."

"You said they could be anywhere in time, but they can't be, because the angels only zap to the past. That narrows the field down tremendously," River proclaimed, ignoring him.

"Right then, so they could be anywhere in the world, probably within the last 2000 years," The Doctor said, still a note of hopelessness to his voice.

"So, the question is, Doctor, the old you. What would he do if he lost his Rose?" River asked him.

It only took him a moment before the look of realization dawned on his features. "He'd burn up a sun just to say goodbye. And that goodbye would be on the beach. Bad Wolf Bay. Of course!"

River stepped back with a sly smile on her features as the Doctor pulled the screen up in front of him, looking for any correlation between a sun and Bad Wolf Bay. Finally, he found it.

Pressing buttons and pulling levers, the Doctor set their course. Rose jumped up and joined him by the console.

"Where are we going? Have you found him?" she asked, urgently.

"Why don't you go look for yourself?" he responded, smiling brightly at her.

She ran to the door, flinging it open, but as soon as she set sight on their surroundings she turned back.

"This place. Why would you bring me to this place? Every time we're here, you say goodbye. Have you come to just dump me off again?"

"No, I – " he started, but was interrupted by a voice at the door.

"He was bringing you back to me, actually, I think."

Rose spun around, seeing the familiar face that she thought she had lost forever smiling down at her. Her smile shined like the sun, and she flung her arms around him, her lips finding his.

Several moments and a few uncomfortable clearing of the throats later, Rose looked back around at the new Doctor.

"Alright, I know that you're dying to tell us how you did it. How'd you figure out where they were?"

"Why don't you go look?" The Doctor told her, pointing out the door.

Her version of the Doctor smiled, leading the way. It took her a few moments, but eventually she realized that the TARDIS had landed in the middle of a circular formation of boulders. Not just a circle though. The boulders were arranged in the pattern of a burning sun.

She turned to her Doctor. "A sun? But why?"

"Because the first time I lost you, I burnt up a sun just to say goodbye. We said goodbye in this exact spot, Rose Tyler. So it's only fitting that this time, we'd say hello," her Doctor explained.

Several silent moments passed between them.

"So, where's Jackie, then? I'd quite like to say hello. From a distance, of course. She hasn't had a chance to slap this face, yet." The new Doctor had come out onto the windy beach, followed by River, Amy, and Rory.

"What do you mean, 'where's Jackie'?"

"You mean she's not with you?" Rose asked, with a panic.

"No, I thought she was still back in the flat. You mean the angels zapped her back, too?"

They all shared a look of pure panic before rushing back into the TARDIS.
