A/N Here's the third chapter! This should explain what's going on, and answer some of your questions. Enjoy!
Rose pulled away from the stunned Doctor, and turned to face Amy, only just noticing her.
"I could ask you the same question."
Both women turned towards the Doctor and at the same time demanded, "Doctor, explain!"
The Doctor's green eyes were still wide with shock, not comprehending the situation either. Before either companion could ask further questions, he pulled his sonic screwdriver from his pocket, and waved it over Rose, wanting to make sure she wasn't plastic, a hologram, or anything but the real Rose.
Quickly checking the readings, finding that this was actually Rose, he looked up at her and grinned and turned to Amy. "Amy, this is Rose, one of my former companions."
He then turned to Rose and introduced her to Amy. They smiled and nodded at one another, still untrusting of the other strange woman.
Rose looked around the TARDIS, stepping inside and taking it all in. "Wow… this is a lot different to how it looked last time. It looks great though."
The Doctor's grin remained constant on his face, bounding up the steps, leading Rose around, showing her everything. Amy followed them a little slower, watching the two, trying to decipher what kind of relationship they had. She was wary towards the blond woman, and she knew Rose wasn't very sure of her either, judging by how she kept looking at Amy in the corner of her eye.
Amy felt her stomach churn at watching the Doctor with Rose. It was almost like… jealousy. Before she could really discern her feelings for the Doctor's other companion, she heard the Doctor speak.
"So, not to sound rude, but how exactly are you here? You're meant to be in another parallel universe. Are the walls of reality breaking again?"
The Doctor looked nervous, obviously scared that that would be the answer. It wasn't difficult to tell, even though Amy had no idea what they were talking about.
Rose shook her head at his question. "No. At least, I don't think so… You see, about a month ago back in my parallel universe, I saw this crack. It wasn't just ordinary crack though, there was light coming through it, and everything. I heard voices, and I thought I heard the TARDIS, so I took a chance and hoped you'd be on the other side. I crawled through the crack- never doing that again- and I fell out in this bar, thousands of years in the future. I just managed to see the TARDIS disappear as I fell through. I must've just missed you."
The Doctor and Amy shared a look of alarm, before looking back at her.
"I'm sorry, you did what? You crawled through the crack! Are you flipping serious?" Amy shrieked, everything she knew about the cracks had just been altered in a matter of seconds, and she had a feeling the Doctor felt the same way.
Rose looked at Amy oddly, obviously not knowing why this was so weird. "Um, yeah." She looked at the Doctor and saw the expression on his face. "Okay, I take it that's not normal for you then."
The Doctor shook his head, "No. It's not." He sighed, resolving to talk about it after they learned the rest of her story. He still didn't know how she knew what he looked like. After all, he'd regenerated. That's a whole new face!
"Okay, so what happened after that."
Rose paused, trying to remember where she'd been before she'd been bombarded by questions. "I saw Jack, so I talked to him." She grinned, remembering the memory. "It was great to see him again. I told him everything that had happened, and he set me up with a vortex manipulator," Rose pulled the sleeve of her left arm up, revealing it on her wrist, "and helped me find a couple of leads on where you are. He wanted to come find you too, but there was a lot of crazy stuff going on for him at Torchwood, so he had to go back. Anyway, as I was searching for you, I heard some rumors that you'd regenerated, so I managed to find someone with more information on you. They had pictures of you in each body you've been in, so that's how I know what you look like. Basically I chased you around the universe, missing you each time only by seconds until now."
Rose wrapped her arms around him again and murmured, "It's so good to see you again, Doctor."
He smiled happily and hugged her back, "It's good to see you too, Rose. Hold on a second," he pulled away from her slightly, a new question having formed in his mind. "What about the other me?"
Rose looked at him sadly, and hugged him again, apparently not wanting to let go. Finally, she spoke, but tears were forming in her eyes. "There was this man who robbed the house we all lived in. Mum and dad were away on holiday, leaving me and you- er the other Doctor at home. He came into the house and he had gun. His finger slipped on the trigger, and he almost shot me, but-" Rose swallowed a sob, trying to continue, but almost choking on her words. There were tears streaming down her face, and recalling the memory looked painful. Amy knew how it felt to lose a boyfriend/fiancée- wait, no she didn't, right?
She shook herself from her thoughts, feeling guilty for not listening to Rose, as she finally continued. "You- the other Doctor jumped in front of me, and took the bullet that was meant for me. I watched him die as that coward left, and-" Rose couldn't keep it together any longer and she broke down into sobs, and the Doctor wrapped his arms around her and tried to console her.
Amy sat in the chair beside the time rotor and watched the two. She felt terrible for Rose, no one should have to deal with that. That was the sad thing about the Doctor though. He could take you to amazing heights and show you the most wonderful things, but he was surrounded by danger even when they weren't looking for any. Bad things seemed to happened around him. They'd met Martha Jones, a friend of the Doctor's a while back, and Amy remember what she'd told her. You have to be careful of the Doctor. He's like fire; he's wonderful and beautiful, but if you stand too close you get burned. Amy shivered, remarking at how right she was. But it was worth it, all of it. He was worth it.
When Rose had finally calmed down enough to try and regain her composure, Amy shot her a sympathetic smile. It didn't matter whether or not she liked Rose, she deserved some slack.
However, what surprised Amy was that Rose narrowed her eyes at her, and she saw hate. True hate swirled in Rose's dark brown eyes. Suddenly Rose blinked, and she returned to how she seemed before.
The Doctor, not having seen Rose's exchange with Amy, said, "Rose?"
Rose turned to him, not sure what to expect to hear. The fiery redhead turned towards him too, curious as to what he was going to say.
"If you would like to, you could always travel with us… It's okay if you don't want to though, I'll under-"
Rose's face lit up, her grief seemingly forgotten. "I'd love to! After all, I did crawl through that awful crack and chase you halfway across the universe."
"Fantastic!" the Doctor exclaimed, and then turned to Amy. "Isn't this great, Amy? Rose is going to travel with us!"
Amy managed to hide a horrified expression and plastered a smile onto her face. She nodded, trying to look excited, not trusting her voice to mirror her fake expression.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to help the TARDIS find Rose's room!" The Doctor was already bounding up the stairs down one of the many corridors.
The moment the Doctor disappeared from view. Rose's smile disappeared leaving her expression cold, and she glared at Amy, walking towards her.
"Look, Amy, right? I don't know what the relationship between you and the Doctor is, but frankly, I don't care. As long as we keep one thing clear, we should be able to act civilly. I don't think I'm going to like you all that much, and I don't think you're exactly going to be making us any friendship bracelets anytime soon. All you need to know is this: the Doctor is mine. Got that?"
Amy looked at Rose incredulously. "I'm sorry, what? He isn't something you can just own!"
Rose rolled her eyes. "All I'm trying to say is keep your paws off the Doctor, okay?"
"You know what, no!" Amy walked up to her, so that they were face to face. "Look, I get that you lost your Doctor, and I feel really bad about that, but I have a feeling that, most of the time, you get what you want, when you want it. There is no way I'm letting the Doctor have to suffer by letting you 'have him', and I will do whatever it takes to ensure you don't get him. Got that?"
They both stood there, the air thick with tension. The moment was quickly broken by the Doctor's voice coming from the corridor he'd disappeared into.
"Rose! Come on, I found where your room is, you'll never guess where it was!"
"Coming, Doctor!" Rose called out and started walking to the stairs, her eyes never leaving Amy's. "I'll see you later Amy, but this is far from over."
Amy smirked as she replied, "Oh, I know."
At that, Rose sniffed and held her head high, turning her back on Amy and trotting towards where she heard the Doctor's voice.
Jeez, talk about bipolar… Amy thought to herself, heading to where her room was, but suddenly froze. Hold on, what just happened. Did I just say that I wouldn't let Rose get the Doctor and I would do whatever it takes to make sure she doesn't?
Amy's eyes widened, realizing what she'd admitted to herself and Rose mere minutes before.
I think I'm in love with my Raggedy Doctor…
A/N Okay, so I just want to say this before anything else, I do NOT hate Rose. I actually really like her as a companion. She's one of my favorites, I mean, she looked into the heart of the TARDIS just to save the Doctor! Anyway, I got this idea, and it wouldn't leave me alone, thus why there is a Fanfiction. So, if you guys don't like my idea, I understand, but please don't get mad at me for it. Alright, I think that's it. If anyone has any questions, just ask me in a review. Even if you don't have a question, please review! Thanks =)
