Thanks for the reviews guys! It really helps, even if it doesn't seem like it. I know I take a long time to update, and that's my problem, not yours. Unless I don't have enough reviews. Then it is your problem. Kidding! No I'm not.
"Hello Emily! Nice to see you again!" Rose greeted as she sat down across from her. They were seated outside with a view of the fountain.
"You too, though I don't really remember much of what happened. You don't mind if I record this, do you? Just in case?" Emily asked, pulling out her phone to record the conversation.
"Go ahead." Rose said, nodding. "So, where do you want to start?"
"The beginning. The first time you meet the Doctor." Emily requested. Rose laughed.
"That would be a bit confusing. How about I start with the first time the Doctor meet me?" Rose suggested. Emily nodded, though she didn't really understand what Rose was talking about.
"I was in the basement of Henrik's, the store I was looking at. I had to give the technician the lottery money. He wasn't there so I went looking for him. Next thing I know I'm being cornered by a bunch homicidal shop window dummies! Just as I thought I was about to die, this big ol' Northerner grabs my hand and tells me to run. He traps them in the basement and we run outside. He says he's called 'the Doctor' and I tell him my name. He gets this big smile on his face and he says, 'Nice to meet you Rose! Run for your life!' He waves this BOMB at me and dashes up the stairs! As I'm running away, the whole bloody building goes up! How's that for first impressions?" Rose finishes with a smile. Emily looks at her with the 'you're being crazy again' look.
"But, Henrik's didn't blow up." Emily points out, confused. Rose waves it off.
"Parallel world. I'll get to it." She says, like it explains everything.
"Then how did you end up here?" Emily questions. Rose's face darkens.
"The TARDIS, that blue box, brought us here once. It was by accident, travel between dimensions should be impossible. We came just in time for the Cybermen invasion. This Universe's Jackie was the first one to be upgraded. We stopped them of course, and left my friend Mickey here for clean up. It was his choice. Anyway, the Doctor and I kept travelin'. But then my mum phoned about these 'ghosts' that kept poppin' up 'round the world. We went to check it out, but ended up arriving a bit late. We figured out it wasn't right, and began tryin' to see if we could stop it. That world's Torchwood kidnapped us, but my mum was still on board. So the Doctor took her with him and left me to take a look around. What I found was a Void ship, a ship that can travel in the dead space between dimensions. What the doctor found was the Cybermen from this dimension. They crossed over using this Torchwood, with help from our Torchwood. While I was in the basement with the Void ship I met up with Mickey. He had jumped over to help us with this thing called the Dimension cannon. While we were down there the ship opened." Rose took a sip of the water that had just arrived. "I want you to imagine the scariest thing you have ever seen. Now I want you to fill that thing with nothing but hate and the desire to kill anything that's different. Then wrap it in an impenetrable metal shell. What you have is the basic idea of a Dalek, only Daleks are so much worse. That's what came out of the void ship. Four Daleks, fresh from a war with the Doctor's people, a war that killed everyone but the Doctor and a handful of Daleks. They brought something with them, it was called a genesis ark. Inside it, there were billions of Daleks. the skies were filled with Daleks and the streets overrun with Cybermen. But we were lucky, because we had the Doctor, and Parallel Torchwood. Pete, Jake and a team of Torchwood agents came through the Void to help us. The Doctor, being the daft alien he is, tried to send me an my mum back with them. Mum stayed, but I went back. 'Cause I know how the Doctor works, and he needs someone with him, even if he's too proud to admit it. So I went back and I helped him, and we were winning. Then my lever slipped and I had to fix it, didn't I? But the pull of the void was too strong. I- I slipped, and I fell, and then Pete caught me and brought me back here. And I got stuck. Three months I had to wait until the Doctor was able to contact me. We drove out to bloody Norway just so I could stand on bloody Bad Wolf Bay and tell the Doctor I loved him, and then watch him fade away before he could say it back." Rose's eyes were filled with unshed tears. Emily's own eyes were beginning to tear up.
"That's- Oh my Goddess! But, you saw him again, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have John." Emily reasoned, wiping her eyes. Rose mirrored her as she gave a bitter laugh.
"Yeah I saw him again. After modifying the Dimension cannon so it could still travel and landing in several different parallel universes. Including quite a few where the Doctor was dead. Of course, when I did find him we were a bit busy saving every single universe in existence. I didn't exactly have time to ask him to finish one little sentence. When I was finally able to ask him, he dropped me on that damn beach again, and do you know what he said? He said, 'Does it need saying?'. Last words I heard the proper Doctor say to me." Rose said, the tears back and flowing down her cheeks. Emily felt the anger bubbling up inside her chest.
"That bastard! Of course it needs saying! You built a freaking Universe-hopping device just so he could get the opportunity to say it! My Goddess he's stupid!" Emily vented. Rose gave her a weak smile.
"My feelings exactly. But I couldn't just tell him that, not with John standing right there. So I asked John the same question, and he leaned in and whispered 'I love you' into my ear. Hearing those words, in a voice so similar to the Doctor's, I just shut down and let my mind go into auto-pilot. I grabbed John and snogged him with everything in me. Then I heard the TARDIS disappear. I can't even describe how horrible I felt. I just forced the love of my life watch as I kissed his double." Rose said, her voice cracking. She wiped the tears still falling from her eyes.
"H-how did you get your TARDIS?" Emily asked, hoping to distract Rose from her guilt.
"Donna gave us a piece from the TARDIS and we grew our own. As soon as it was fully grown John flew it back to 1963, just so it would look the same. I think he also wanted to see if his old companions were in his universe. Then he smashed the Chameleon Circuit, it changes the outside so it blends into the time period. That's why it looks like an old Police Box. Anyways, after that trip we went on a few more adventures, mostly places we had already gone to. A lot of them didn't happen, some were completely different, but there were a few that were exactly the same. A few weeks linear-time we were on an adventure, he decided to take me to the planet Barcelona, well, this version of it. Some how we managed to get arrested, don't ask me what for, I honestly can't remember. We were escaping and one of the guards noticed us. He opened fire, and I got hit, right in the chest. I have no idea what happened after that, but when I woke up, I was in the TARDIS Med Bay. John was staring at me and gaping like a fish. I asked him what happened, and he told me I regenerated. Regeneration is a trick that Time Lords have to escape death. That shouldn't have been possible, but then, I was never one for adhering to the possible. About three years ago, I looked into the Heart of the TARDIS and I basically became a Goddess of Time. But the Doctor took it out of me, an act that caused him to regenerate into the body he has now, the one that John is cloned from. Becoming that being, the Bad Wolf, should have killed me, but instead it changed me. The changes didn't activate until I died. Now I'm part Time Lord, part TARDIS, part human, and part Bad Wolf. And every day I can feel the human part of me getting weaker, its dying and the other parts are getting stronger. It's terrifying, and John has no idea what to do, and the only other person who would is in a parallel Universe!" Rose exclaims, fear coating her voice and shining in her eyes. Emily's jaw clenched as she strengthened her resolve.
"Then find him." She said. Rose raised her eyebrows in shock. "You did it before, why not do it again?" Rose shook her head at Emily.
"He doesn't want me anymore. That's why he dropped me off here, he got tired of me so he sent me off with his clone to live happily-ever-after." Rose told Emily, mopping.
"Okay, so it wasn't just one-sided stupidity." Emily mumbled loud enough for Rose to hear. "The doctor loves you! That's why he dropped you off here, so you could be happy! I'm guessing he's had other companions, right?" Rose nodded. "Have you ever met any of them?"
"Sarah Jane Smith." Rose mumbled.
"And what did he give her?" She inquired.
"A tin dog." Rose answered. Emily nodded and smiled.
"Exactly. He gave Sarah Jane a tin dog, he gave you a part of himself. It may not be him, but it's as close as he could get. He obviously wants you to be safe and happy, and he's willing to give up his own happiness to do that. that second time at the beach, he didn't drop you off, he gave you up! That's why he didn't finish his sentence, not because he doesn't love you, but because he wants you to live a happy, safe life. You lost him, but you got John. He lost everything, because he chose to. He decided that your happiness was more important that his own, and he always will." Emily explained. Rose ducked her head, but Emily grabbed her hand and used her free one to lift her chin. Their eyes locked.
"So, here's what you're going to do. You're going to use every resource you have available and you're going to build another dimension cannon. I can remember most of what happened yesterday, and I know Mickey came through a crack in Time and Space. You're going to find one, you're going to study it, and eventually you're going to use it to get back to the Doctor. And no, this is not up for debate." Emily let go of Rose and sat back.
Rose stared at her in shock. then, slowly a smile spread across her face.
"I like you, you would have been a fantastic companion! If I find a way back, do you think you'd want to come with me? I'm sure the Doctor would love to have you travel with us." Rose offered. Emily shook her head.
"I don't think so. Not that I wouldn't want to, it's just that I think you should have the Doctor to yourself. Besides, I've got to go back to school in a few weeks, and someone's got to look after Jessa, my best friend." Emily said, almost sadly. Rose nodded in understanding.
"Well, the least you could do is help me, it'd be nice to work with you. And who knows, maybe John will offer you a spot in his TARDIS." Rose suggested. Emily smiled at her.
"All right, I guess I can help. I really hope you find him, Rose." Emily agreed. Rose smiled at her sadly.
"Me too." She muttered.
Hope that chapter was satisfactory! As usual, please review! So, poll time! If you want Emily to travel with John after Rose leaves, please say so in the comments! If you have any other ideas, please tell me! Three reviews is the minimum!
