Thanks to TheBigCat who did all the editing for me i am rubbish at it and she makes my story so much better to read. please leave a review.

"Hello me, Hello Tardis, Hello me," grinned the new Doctor, spinning around the console.

"…hello…" the Doctor mumbled back weakly, still confused- a feeling he did not much like.

"You want to know why I'm here, and how you're not a new new Doctor."

"How did you-?"

"I'm you and you're me- all very wibbly-wobbly and such."

"Well, yeah. But still- why?"

"Well, that's a question for the ages. Why anything? Why everything?" The other Doctor paused. "But the why you want to know is a very simple why, isn't it? Or should I say, who? And I suppose the answer to that is Rose Tyler."

The Doctor felt his hearts seize upon hearing her name out loud again and spoken in his own voice. But this voice held not the slightest hint of longing or love, the eyes not a glint of affection of the name. Nothing but mild amusement at his reaction. "You see, you made a mistake that day in Norway. You gave her to me- or me to her. Never figured that one out… anyhow. Rose did not want me. Sure, she kissed me, but I think that was to hurt you more than anything. Hurt you for not saying what you felt- what we both know you felt. I felt it to in my head… but my heart. Oh, my heart did not feel it. Not enough, not nearly enough for it to mean anything. After all, Donna got your brain and I got Donna's heart and her heart felt nothing but great friendship for you. I think like you and look like you but really I'm not you. Donna and Rose both knew it.

"She tried to be happy, to have me back as a friend, told me the kiss meant nothing, just a heat of the moment thing. But you should know she stood on that beach for days, tears and sobs wracking her body till she passed out from it all. She was convinced you would come back but you never did. She Picked up the pieces, she had to though she wanted it to end. I spent months talking her out of it. She was close so, so many times. She wanted it to end just like you did. But it was thoughts of you that kept her going; thoughts of what you would have done if you had seen her like this. So she picked herself up and carried on. But her heart was dead, locked up tight and at night her screams would wake the house and her sobs would put her back to sleep.

"This is what you did to her. What you did to me was bad about as bad as you could get. I lived but just for a few years I was never meant to last long- I was, after all, born for battle and blood and revenge. And my body could not take it. It shut down slowly and painfully never fully healing. It needed to regenerate to a new man once the rage began to ebb, but it couldn't. My heart could not take it and my brain couldn't either. So I died, leaving her a third time even if I was only half-Doctor and only her friend. You left me there thinking we would live a long and happy life and that I could give Rose everything you could not, because you were to good and too kind to take what you wanted you knew it would hurt too much to watch her decay. So you left her and then I left her and then everything that made Rose left her. She is nothing but a shell of what she used to be we did that to her.

"I tell you this to hurt you because I am still part Donna, spaceman and somebody needs to knock some sense into you. Donna did that fantastically. She was brilliant. I want you to hurt because it's so very human and hurting and pain make you stronger, make you better. They allow you not to make the same mistakes.

"But ultimately I am here to give you a second chance- to give Rose a last chance-because she deserves it. You, I don't know about but her- well, she needs it. So I stopped the change from occurring- don't ask me how, I don't know. I'm dead, after all. But your story is not done yet- and neither is hers. I can bring her on board but the rest will be up to you. What you choose to do with the gift I give you both is your choice. But know that if I bring her on board there is no going back for you or her. She will lose her family; her few friends. But she will have you and that's all she ever really wanted. The choice is yours to make and yours alone, you must tell me what you want. We are frozen in a moment in time and that's never good because time is always meant to be flowing and changing. But once your decision is voiced, time will catch up again and the world will right itself. However, you must choose soon. Whatever your decision may be. Choose wisely for you will only choose once.

"Continue to regenerate or choose Rose. It's in your hands."
