The Doctor sat back down on the bench and put his head in his hands, thinking about what had happened to him over the last few days. How was this happening? The Doctor knew better than anyone that you can never be prepared for what the universe may throw at you.

He continued to sit and think. How had he not known it was Rose who had saved him that day at the Thames? He wasn't thinking straight that was why and he knew it. All the signs had been there since the first day he had met her, 3 days after Rose's death. She had known both him and Jack, which was probably one of the biggest clues.

The thing that horrified him was that Rose had seen him nearly kill himself and drink himself silly. He would never have let her seen him like that if he had known. But he felt happier knowing that Rose had been with him all that time, even though he hadn't known it. She had never truly left him. But how had she become a butterfly? That was the big question. And why a butterfly? Why couldn't she just come back as herself?

Suddenly, the Doctor felt something light land on his shoulder. He looked up and looked at his shoulder. There sat the butterfly the Doctor now knew as Rose. She didn't say anything; she just sat there looking at him as if she wanted him to make the first move. It wouldn't be the first time she had done that.

"Rose..." The Doctor breathed.

"Hi,"

"Is it really you or is this all a big mix-up?" The Doctor asked, he couldn't believe that this was happening.

"It's really me, Doctor. Just not the way you remember me." Rose told him. The Doctor didn't really know what to say. Every since Rose had died, the Doctor had wanted nothing more than to be able to talk to her again, to tell her how much he loved her and how much he missed her. But now she was here with him once again, the Doctor just didn't know what to say. Well, he knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

"I missed you." The Doctor eventually told her.

"I missed you, too."

"I don't know what to say." The Doctor told her. Rose laughed. It was like they were reliving the moment they spent on the beach in the Parallel world only a few years ago. Only this time it was the Doctor who was crying, not her.

"You've still Martha, Donna and Jack then?" Rose said just like the Doctor had done a few years back.

"Hey, let's not relive the day on that beach." The Doctor told her with a laugh.

"OK," Rose laughed to.

"How've you been?" The Doctor asked.

"OK, I guess. I'm still getting used to being a butterfly and not a human." Rose said.

"Yeah, about that. How did you get to be a butterfly?" The Doctor asked her.

"When I died, something happened. I woke up in a place that was completely white. I'm not sure where I was, but my dad was there and he told me that I couldn't crossover until I had done something. He told me that I had to help you move on before I could return to where I belong. Dad told me about what you were doing to yourself and that if I didn't do something soon, you would probably land up killing yourself. I couldn't let you do that, so I said I would do it. He then told me that when I'm finished here I have to go back with him." Rose told the Doctor. The Doctor looked at her.

"Rose..."

"I know what you're going to say and I need you to know that I don't blame you what you did. If it were me, I would have done the same thing to myself. So don't apologise." Rose told him.

"But, still. I should have never made you have to come back." The Doctor told her.

"It doesn't matter. I would have done anything to see you just one last time. I really missed you, as you did me." Rose said.

"I missed you too. Rose, how long do you think you're going to have to stay now?" The Doctor asked her. He didn't want her to leave, but at the same time he didn't want her to have to look after him every day until he got better. She had done enough for him already. It was time for her to have her freedom.

"I'll probably see the light to crossover within the month, but I'm not sure really. You seem to be getting better quicker than I thought." Rose admitted.

"So, we've got about a month together. We can do a lot together in that time. Is there any way you can change back into your human self?" The Doctor asked her, wanting the answer to be 'yes', but had a gut feeling that the answer was 'no'.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, but I can't. Not until I crossover." The Doctor felt his hearts sink, even though he knew that was the answer he was going to receive.

"I suspected that was what you were going to say, or at least something along the lines of what I suspected." The Doctor told her.

"If you manage to find a way then tell me. I'd love to be myself again." Rose told him.

"I promise if I find something I will let you know. But I don't think I will be able to find anything for you. But you being a butterfly is better than you not being here at all." The Doctor told her.

"I guess, but it would be nice to be over 5 foot again." The Doctor and Rose shared a laugh together.

"Tell you what; shall we go for a walk? Or in your case fly?" The Doctor asked her. "I think it's best that we get as much alone time as possible." The Doctor said.

"Doctor, what are you implying there? Remember I'm a butterfly!" Rose laughed. The Doctor looked at her confused and then he got it.

"Oh...no...No, I wasn't implying that. Rose, why would you think that?" The Doctor asked her with a fake horrified look on his face. Rose just laughed. The Doctor couldn't take it any longer, he too burst out laughing.

The two of them walked alone the path, laughing. All the time Rose felt sad because she knew that she didn't have as long as she wanted with the Doctor now. He was getting better faster than she had thought.

Long time no see, eh? Hope you liked that. Please review! I love hearing from you! XD I'll try and update as soon as I can, but I have no idea when that'll be. And I have no idea where to go with this. I know how I want to end it, but I don't know what to put in the middle. Any ideas I could borrow, will help me so much! XD

OAO
