Hello! Sorry about the wait and everything. I'd offer an explanation, but I don't really have one. Sorry about that. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter. As always, I'd like reviews.
Three weeks. That's how long it took to find a crack that looked exactly like the one Mickey fell through. Then another three months testing it to make sure it was active. Three more to study it and make sure it was safe and testing it.
Three months, give or take a few days. Three months of looking, waiting, and testing.
Emily had to return to Uni a few weeks in, but she came in every day after school, unless she had a date with Jessa. Rose had been slightly surprised by their relationship, but after observing them for a few minutes she could easily tell they were in love. Rose realized that if the Doctor and her had been even half as couple-y as Emily and Jessa were, no wonder everyone thought they were a couple.
Emily and Rose mostly helped in the testing stage. They would never send a living creature through, so instead they tossed in fruit. Rose insisted they throw in bananas, and wouldn't even let them contemplate throwing in pears. Rose noticed, however, that when they threw in the fruit, no one would remember. Except for her. So, as they continued testing, she began writing messages on the fruit. 'Help me.', 'Doctor!', 'Rose is coming back.', 'Pink and Yellow human.', 'Shiver needs Shake.', and most often she wrote two words. Just two, 'Bad Wolf'. It was her message to herself, and to the Doctor. It was her way of telling him that she would always come back. She's used it twice now, once on Satellite Five (yes, she remembers) and once when the stars were going out.
After two weeks of tossing in bananas, they decided to upgrade to animals. Mice, birds, a stray cat here and there. No one would remember it when it entered the crack. They always forgot, but not Rose. For some reason she remembered.
"Emily, can I ask you for a favor?" Rose asked, walking up to the ginger. Emily turned around and smiled.
"Of course! What do you need?" She asked, smiling brightly. Rose reached back into her back pocket and pulled out a small white envelope. On the front were the words 'To Shake, From Shiver'.
"In a few minutes, I want you to give that the John. I'm sorry for the short notice, but I don't have a lot of time. I'm going to miss you." Rose pulled a slightly confused Emily in for a hug.
"Rose, what are you- Oh!" Realization dawned on Emily and she pulled back. "You're going through aren't you?" Emily asked. Rose nodded. Emily pulled her back into the hug. "I'm going to miss you." Emily mumbled.
"Just remember to give that to John." Rose said. The door opened and the man in question walked through, her family and Mickey behind him.
"Rose! Is everything alright?" John asked. Rose smiled at him and nodded.
"Yeah, I just wanted you all here. I just wanted to say goodbye before I go." Rose took a deep breath and stepped forward. "You've all known for a while that I can't stay here. I wish I could, I really do, but something is happening that I can't control, or even understand. And we all know there's only one person who could even begin to help me through this. And I'm sorry, but I have to do this now." Rose stepped forward more so she could hug John. "I'm so sorry." She whispered before stepping away and turning to her family.
" I love you, I really do. And I wish I could be here to see Tony grow up. Mum, thank you, you couldn't have been a better mum. I love you, and I'm going to miss you terribly. Same for you Pete, and thanks for being my dad through all this." She gave her family a hug and turned to her team, who had gathered together.
"Mickey, Jake, just be careful. Take care team. You're all wonderful, I couldn't ask for a better group of people. Owen, you better make an honest woman out of Tosh, or I might have to come back and teach you a lesson. Gwen, take care of Rhys, I know you'll be happy together. And Ianto, you'll find your Captain someday." Rose winked at the a welsh butler before hugging them as well.
"Rose, you sound like you're dying or something." Gwen said, worried.
"Might as well be. I'm going through the crack." Rose explained, earning a few shocked gasps.
"Rose we, we don't even know what the crack is! You can't be serious!" Tosh cried.
"It's a crack in the universe, two points in Time and Space that should never have touched. If you fall in, you're erased from your reality. Only ay to escape being erased for good is is you've been to a parallel world. And as far as I can tell, the only way to remember is if you've been exposed to the raw form of the Time Vortex. And yeah, I am serious." Rose informed those gathered.
"Rose, it's opening." Emily warned. Emily pulled out the envelope, ready for when she had to had it to John.
"Alright. Go ahead and give it to him." Rose said, pulling back and walking toward the crack. She picked up a backpack full of the things she wanted to bring back with her. She took of her wedding ring and placed it on the lab table. She turned back and saw that John was already opening the letter. "I'm sorry. I love you, and I'll miss you, but I have to do this." Rose said, walking towards the crack. Surprisingly, no one tried to stop her.
In the next minute, three things happened. One, Rose stepping into the crack. Two, John read the letter. And three, everyone in Pete's world forgot all about the girl Rose Tyler.
Dear John,
I'm sorry. You might not remember anything we did together in Pete's world, but I'm still sorry. Knowing what I do, I'm guessing you have the memories of my time with the Doctor, and probably the day you were 'born'. And Jackie will probably still remember me, as will Mickey. But I could be wrong. My name is Rose Marion Tyler, and I just jumped into a crack in Time and Space. You probably still remember the day you were 'born', but what you might not remember is that I stayed with you. We lived here together for four years. We were married, and we loved each other so much. But of course we couldn't stay together. Things happened, and I changed. To put it simply, Bad Wolf came back. So I had to get back to the Doctor, the proper Doctor, and the only way to do that would be to jump into a crack in the Universe. But by doing that, I erased myself from this reality. But that's fine, I didn't belong here anyways. I'm not writing this so you'll remember me, I'm writing this so you'll forget. Because you probably remember. And Mickey and Jackie might remember too. But you shouldn't. I want you to erase me. I don't care how you do it, I want every trace of Rose Tyler purged from this universe. Oh, and just one fore thing. I want you to be fantastic, and I want you to take Emily with you. Do that for me.
Love you,
Rose Tyler, the Bad Wolf
There you go! Next chapter we get to see the Doctor again! Yay! It will be set during the Big Bang, but things with River will be a bit different. No more Emily though, sorry. I lost count of how many reviews I need, but I think it's five.
