Meanwhile In The Void

Chapter 2: The One Conversation The Doctor Won't Have

Warnings: As our good friend River likes to say "Spoilers!" Spoilers for all episodes and specials up to and especially including The Big Bang

Timeframe: Right before the Doctor crashes Amy and Rory's wedding.

Author's Note: This chapter is a lot of talking. Also the half-human Meta-Crises Doctor is being referred to as Ten II.

"Hello, Doctor." Said the figure stepping out of the shadows.

"Rose?" The Doctor could count on his fingers the number of times that he had been truly and profoundly shocked in his eleven lives. This instance definitely was in the top five.

"Doctor, this production has taken a lot of time to coordinate. Torchwood and I have spent a lot of time and resources to plan this. As much as I love you I would appreciate it if you would close your mouth."

"Rose. Why would you come to talk to me? I'm not even the same person that you knew. If you really knew the truth about then you would want to be here."

"Doctor…"

"You really should go. Be happy with your Doctor. The two of you can…"

"Doctor. Stop talking for once in your life."

"Go Rose. All I've caused is havoc in your world. And both of them at that."

"Doctor, we're concerned…"

"We? Who else Rose? Who else would care about me?"

"Oi! Doctor if you interrupt me one more time then you're going to get a smack, you are." Rose's face softened at the use of the term she use to use so dearly.

"You can't threaten me. As magnificent as the science you have there is there is no way you would physically me able to touch me. Let me meet this magnificent scientist you have. I certainly know you couldn't do this by yourself."

"Hey! Torchwood is a very educational place but, I did have help. As a matter of fact it was you, well the other you. The half-human you. But, that is besides the point. We do have little time."

"Rose…"

"Any how Doctor, what is going on with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with me! Why is it so hard for everyone to let me ruin the universe in peace?"

"See Doctor this is exactly what I mean. Ever since you regenerated you've become a new person if you would forget the pun."

"You see Rose, you don't get it. I am a new person. I'm not the Doctor you know. Go back to your Doctor. I have done plenty of things since you were gone."

"Doctor…"

"Good-bye, Rose."

With that The Doctor finally found the right lever to sever the connection and pulled it.

"Did you have time to do it?" Rose asked Ten II

"Yes, I did."

"He's going to kill us when he finds out."

Author's Note: Yes, I know that this chapter is really weird I've been having some writer's block. Perhaps I'll be inspired by the Season 7 Premier.
