Chapter Nine; Memories

Alright since this story is becoming quite a bit longer than I originally imagined, it will be written in three parts instead and the third will indeed be the last, so I hope you're enjoying it so far and enjoy the last part of it!

"Here we are, the TARDIS." I said as Clara stepped inside of it behind me. "This is it? It's huge in here." She said as she started to look around.

"I know, that's because it's bigger on the inside." I told her.

"And you can really go anywhere in time that you want to?" she asked me.

"Yes, anywhere." I told her with a nod as she smiled at me.

"I got to admit that's pretty cool." She said.

"Rose thought so too. That's how I met her, she was one of my companions." I told her as I secretly started to reminisce inside my mind.

"I'll be off then shall I? Unless I dunno, you want to come with me." The words echoed throughout my mind as envisioned Rose running towards the TARDIS eagerly full of excitement.

"You really do miss her don't you?" Clara questioned me with pure sympathy inside her eyes.

"She was the love of my life, and the only girl that I ever truly fell in love with." I told her.

"Well you don't have to tell me if you don't want to but I'm curious, how did she die?" she asked me.

"She was murdered. By a class of aliens called the Daleks. She was a victim of their arsonary." I told her.

"Oh Doctor, I am so sorry. For you and your family." She said.

"Thanks Clara I appreciate that, but you're not the one who stole her life away from her and from me. It was the Daleks, and one of these days I'll make them pay." I told her.

"Doctor, I know you're upset and I don't blame you, but revenge isn't the answer." She told me.

"So what then!? You just want me to sit here on my ass and forget what they did to her!? I loved her with all my heart and it just isn't fair!" I hollered as I felt my voice start to crack and tremble. "It just isn't." I said shakily with a sniff before she pulled me into a hug and wrapped her arms around me tightly.

"I know how you feel remember? I've been there before, I know it hurts." She began reassuring me soothingly. "But you just got to remember that she's in a better place now. And she's watching over you and your children, and that's how I know that they're going to be alright." She began before we broke out of the embrace. "Cause they've got a guardian angel looking out for them now." She told me softly as she gazed at me lovingly with a warm smile.

"Thanks," I began with a sniff before I ran my hand down my face. "I needed that. But you know that I just realized I should have said that I loved her with both my hearts instead." I told her with a grin.

"I beg your pardon?" she questioned.

"I forgot to tell you I have more than one heart, I have two." I said as she just simply stared at me with bewilderment and disbelief with her mouth gaped open.

…

Cassie slowly sat up on top of her leaf and started to yawn and gave out a great big morning stretch. She looked at everyone else and realized that she was the first one awake. That's when she also realized that they had left out a major detail in their plan. "Uh oh." She whispered as she started jiggling around. "I have to go to the bathroom." She whispered quietly to herself.

"Well I guess since I don't have a toilet I'll go behind the tree." She said as she got up. If she had to go out in the woods she would at least make sure that it was in private. "Ah, that feels better." She said when she finished doing her business when suddenly she bumped into a glowing creature and gave a sudden shriek. "Cryptic!" she yelled as she started to run away but instead found herself tumbling over onto the ground scaring the creature.

When she looked up she realized that its wings were fluttering, then she realized that it wasn't a cryptic at all but instead a tiny fairy. Well normally it would have been tiny but now it was much larger than her and had golden glowing wings that matched the rest of its body and outfit. It had long brown hair like hair and bright blue eyes and bright red lipstick that matched its slippers.

"Ah hullo there, I'm sorry." She began as she slowly stood back up. "I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you were someone else." She explained. "My name's Cassie, what's your name?" she asked her but the fairy simply just looked at her. "Can't you talk?" she questioned but the fairy remained silent. "Alright then, I guess I'll have to give you a name. How about Rosie?" she suggested as the fairy smiled at her.

"I'm glad you liked it because I named you after my mother. She's dead though." She said when suddenly Jane woke up.

"Cassie? Who are you talking to?" she asked her sleepily.

"My new friend, her name is Rosie." Cassie responded while Jane finished stretching and opened her eyes. "That's my sister Jane." She told the fairy as she continued hovering in front of her.

"Is that? A fairy?" she questioned her sister with uncertainty.

"Yes, she is. Apparently Daddy was right. I guess fairies really do exist. Do you know Tinkerbell?" Cassie asked her.

"Forget that, ask her if she knows where we can get something to eat. I'm starving!" Jane exclaimed as Rosie's face lit up and she clapped her hands before doing loops inside the air.

"I think she does." Cassie said. "Wait here for a moment while I wake everyone else up alright?" she questioned as Rosie simply nodded as Jane rolled her eyes.

"Peter Nathan Maggie wake up! Breakfast!" she called impatiently as the others started to yawn and groan. When the three of them were fully awake Cassie turned her attention back over to the fairy in front of her.

"Alright Rosie, show us the way!" She said before the fairy smiled and quickly soared away leaving behind a trail of golden dust.
