I OWN NOTHING
Chapter 7
Rose Tyler – 1st person
I caught up with Martha just as the daughter shot the headmaster.
"Everyone! Inside, now!" I yelled.
I stepped in front of the line of boys and pointed my gun at Lucy. "If you hurt one hair on these boys heads, I'll shoot."
"You heard her! Inside!" I heard John say.
"But sir! The headmaster!" Said another boy.
"Inside!" I yelled.
After the boys went inside I backed up slowly and went inside the school.
"Do- John! Martha! Matron!" I called. "Come 'ere!" I said, my normal accent slipping through.
"Rose, you sound… different." Said Martha. (Let's pretend she talks like this ok?)
"Yeah, thanks for noticin'. I had to fake an accent to get the job as a librarian." I hadn't noticed that John had walked up to me. I turned and saw him standing there, mouth hanging open.
"Everything I know about you is a lie." He said.
"Get used to it."
"Rose, we need to get to the TARDIS." Martha whispered to me.
"I know." I said. "C'mon guys, follow me." I ran into the kitchen and threw open the doors. Standing outside were five scarecrows. I spun around. "Other door."
I ran to the other side of the kitchen and opened the door slowly. I peeked outside, and saw that there were no scarecrows.
We rushed out the door and down a path. We made it to the abandoned shed in about three minutes.
I opened up the door and walked inside. Martha followed but John and Joan hesitated.
"Trust me." I said. "I know what I'm doing."
Joan stepped inside the shed, and John followed her. "How will we all fit in here?" Asked John.
I looked at Martha and crack a smile. "Bigger on the inside." We said at the same time.
John turned to look at us, and froze when he saw what was behind us. "Go on, you know what it is. Name it." I said.
"I-I've never seen it before." John stuttered out.
"John, you wrote about it. In your journal, the blue box." Said Joan.
"I'm not... I'm John Smith. That's all I want to be. John Smith, with his life, and his job, and his love." He looked at Joan. "Why can't I be John Smith? Isn't he a good man?"
"Yes. Yes, he is." Said Joan.
"But we need the Doctor. I need the Doctor." I said. I brought out my key and unlocked the TARDIS doors.
I opened them up. "Go on, go inside. And it's not too small." I added when I saw him opening his mouth to reply.
I stepped into the TARDIS, breathing the familiar scent. Martha followed after me, then came John and Joan.
Joan stumbled back and John's mouth fell open. "I-it's bigger on the inside!" Said John.
"Say that again, I never thought I'd hear the Doctor say that." I said. John glared at me.
I held up my hands. "Hey, sorry."
I ran my hand along the console.
"Hello, my wolf." Said the TARDIS.
"Hey." I said. "Good to be back."
"Rose, what are you doing?" Asked Martha.
"Oh, yeah. Telepathic thingy." I waved my hand at her.
John laughed. "You expect me to believe that you can hear a-" Suddenly he cut off.
"Hello Doctor." I heard. John stumbled back.
"What was that?" He asked.
"That was the TARDIS. As I said, telepathic connection." I replied. "Now, we need to get to a better place, we've come here too much and the mother can have access to Jenny's memories, which have Martha coming down here in them."
"I trust the TARDIS to take us where we need to go." Said Martha.
"Ok, then where to go."
"I know, Rose, go press that big red button. Tell Joan to press those two blue buttons. Tell Martha to pull that green switch. And Doctor, go pull that lever over there. I have the coordinates ready." Said the TARDIS.
"John, did you get that?" John looked slightly shocked, but nodded. "Ok, Matron, go stand by those two blue buttons over there. Martha go over to that green switch. John, you know what to do."
I went to stand by the red button. "Ok, Matron, when I say so you need to press those buttons at the same time. Right after that Martha needs to pull her switch. Then John, you need to pull that lever and I'll press my button, after that, leave it to me." I said.
"Go!" Everyone pulled their. Levers and pressed their buttons. Right after I pushed the red button, everything that I needed to do popped into my head.
"Thanks." I mumbled under my breath. "Hold on to something. This is going to get bumpy."
I ran around the console pressing everything I needed to. The TARDIS started shaking, and I automatically knew I was piloting the TARDIS correctly.
As it started shaking more violently, I wrapped one hand around a lever and kept pressing buttons and pulling levers with the other.
Suddenly the shaking stopped and everything about piloting the TARDIS left my head.
I turned to look at the other three people with me. All of their mouths were hanging open. "How did you do that?" Asked Martha.
"I have absolutely no idea." I said, running over to the doors of the TARDIS. "Let's see where we are." I silently opened the doors and peeked outside to see that we were in the dining room in a house.
"It's safe, c'mon." I said, stepping out of the TARDIS.
"We've moved!" Exclaimed Joan, stepping out of the TARDIS.
"Of course we have!" I said.
We all stood around the table in the center of the room. "I must go to them." Said John.
"You can't!" Said Martha. "We need the watch." She added.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "What if it's them?" Asked Joan.
"I'm not an expert, but I don't think scarecrows knock." I said, throwing open the door. Standing outside was Timothy Latimer, and in his outstretched hand was the watch.
I snatched it up. "You had it? All this time? The village was bein' blown up and you had the watch!" I yelled, an explosion emphasizing my point.
"It asked me to hide it. And then when you came it wanted you." He said. I stared down at the watch.
"I'm sorry Tim, stressful day." I said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Hold it." I said, handing him the watch.
"I can't!"
I tried to shove it into his hands, but he refused.
I kept hearing whispering come from the watch and it was starting to freak me out.
"You had the watch, all this time?" Asked Joan.
"Yes, but I didn't want to bring it… because I was scared of the Doctor." Said Tim.
"Why?" Asked Joan.
"Because I've seen him. He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun."
"Stop it." Said John.
"He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe." Continued Tim.
" Stop it! I said stop it." Said John again.
"And he's wonderful." Tim and I said at the same time.
John looked out the window. "They're destroying the village." He said. He grabbed the watch out of my hand.
"Why can I hear it?" Asked Tim.
"Oh, low level telepathic field. You were born with it. Just an extra synaptic engram causing." John gasped. I almost fainted from happiness. "Is that how he talks?" John asked, sounding horrified.
I instantly lost all happiness. "Yes, that's him! Just open it and he'll be back!" Said Martha.
"You knew this all along and yet you watched while Nurse Redfern and I…" John trailed off.
"I didn't know how to stop you. He gave me a list of things to watch out, for but that wasn't included." Said Martha.
"Then what sort of man is that?" He asked.
"The family has a limited lifespan. He asked me to open the watch when they died." Said Martha.
"So your job was to execute me?" Asked John, his voice cracking.
The tears, which I had been holding back, began to fall down my face.
Martha shook her head. "John Smith is part of him." She said.
John glanced at the watch. "I can give them this! They want the Doctor, they can have him!"
"No!" I screeched, trying to grab the watch.
"Then they would leave and…" I cut him off.
"Then it all ends in destruction. War across the stars, for every child, planet, the whole entire universe, because they would live forever." Said Joan. "Can we have a moment please?"
Everyone except John and Joan left the room.
John Smith – 1st person.
I sat next to Joan. She had tears in her eyes. "I… I'm sorry." I said to her.
"No, it's ok." She said. She grabbed my hand that was holding the watch.
I suddenly saw flashes of a life Joan and I could have. Out wedding, children, and my death.
"Did you see that?"
"The Time Lord has such adventures, but he could never have a life like that." Said Joan.
I stood up and called for the others.
Rose Tyler – 1st person
We came back inside the room when we heard John calling.
He turned to Martha. "You're the Doctor's companion! Do something! Help me! Why are you even there?"
"Because he's lonely." Said Martha.
"And that's what you want me to become? I don't want to be lonely, the man without a lover, who doesn't love someone." He said.
"But he does love someone!" I yelled. Everyone turned to look at me.
"Why isn't she here? Where is she?" He asked.
"They were separated. They could never see each other again."
John interrupted me. "What good is that?" He asked.
"I wasn't finished." I said. "But she defied the laws of the universe. She worked for years to get back to him, and finally accomplished it. She loves him so much, and he loves her back, even though he never got to say it."
"And who is this mystery girl?" He asked me.
"The Bad Wolf." I said.
"And who is the Bad Wolf?" He asked sarcastically.
I straightened my back and looked him right in the eyes. "Me." I grabbed his coat and yanked him forward.
I crashed my lips onto his. He tried to back away, but I didn't let go of his coat. He started to kiss me back.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Joan's mouth fall open. I felt bad, but that thought left my mind when I realized that I was finally kissing the Doctor.
I pulled away. "And know I know what I have to do." I said sadly. "She said the wolf was returning, and now I know what that means."
I walked over to Tim and put my hand on his shoulder. "Tim, be amazing. Next year is the biggest war, and if you fight, fight for the right side. Do great things with your life."
"Rose, what are you doing?" Asked John. I ignored him.
I went to stand in front of Joan. "Joan, I am so very sorry that you fell in love with John, but don't be sad. Find someone you love just as much as you love John, and he will love you as much as John does. And show the world what women really can do." I said to her.
"Rose?" Said John. I ignored him again.
I stood in front of Martha. "Martha, travel with the Doctor and see the stars. Be great, and make sure you are known across the universe. And do this for me; make sure the Doctor isn't lonely. Make sure he doesn't grieve. I want him to live a happy life. And Martha, be the best doctor this universe has ever seen." I said.
Then finally I moved to John. "Doctor" He opened his mouth to say something. "I know you're not the Doctor yet. But you will be soon. I don't know how I know, but I do. I want you to see every galaxy. Go visit every city in the universe. Don't be sad, and don't grieve over me. I want you to remember me, but don't be sad. Martha is going to be here for you. Don't be stupid and reckless and regenerate too soon or get yourself killed. I love you, never forget that." I backed away from him and walked over to the TARDIS.
"Rose, what are you doing?" Asked John.
"What I was born to do. Save the universe." I said. I turned around to face him. "Before I go,I want you to know that you were fantastic, absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I!" I threw open the doors of the TARDIS and everything went black.
John Smith – 1st person
Rose threw open the doors of the TARDIS. A golden light swirled out and engulfed her.
When she turned around her eyes were gold, and she had a golden ring around her.
"I am the Bad Wolf, I can see every moment of time, everything that ever will be or ever happened." She said. Her voice sounded like a hundred of her talking at once.
I thought for a second. And then I remembered what the Bad Wolf was. "Rose! NO! Your going to burn up!" I yelled.
"But if I don't do this, and make history right, two universes will collapse." She said.
She thrust out her hands and all the explosions stopped. "Everyone who died tonight is now living again. History has been made right." She said.
Rose walked up to me and tried to put her hand on the side of my face. I flinched away. "Do you not want me, Doctor? Are you scared of me?" Golden tears started to flow down her face.
I stepped towards her and she put her hand on the side of my face. She stroked my cheek with her thumb. "My head, it's killin' me." She said.
I put my hand on top of hers. "Rose."
"I want you safe, my Doctor." She said, and she collapsed into my arms. The golden glow faded and her eyelids drifted down.
"Rose!" I yelled, setting her down gently. Martha rushed over to her and checked her pulse.
She looked up at me and shook her head.
