Chapter six: Explanations

Just a short filler chapter explaining wtf happened to Rose before the proper adventure starts. Please recommend any re-writes of series six episodes you might want me to do!

Rose was speechless at the doctor's news. Gallifreyan?! How the hell could I have developed extra DNA?! The Doctor was frantically checking and double checking the results, confirming it each time. Rose said aloud what she was thinking,

"How the hell have a turned… Gallifreyan?"

"Sorry," Rory butted in "but what is Gallifreyan?" he asked

"Gallifreyan, time lord same difference. Gallifrey is my home planet, well it was. Gone now, I'm the only one left… or so I thought. Rose I really don't understand how this has happened but I'm assuming it was something to do with Bad Wolf…"

Rose pondered at this thought, "it's as good a guess as any, I suppose, but why didn't I feel different?"

"Okay is this just because I'm new? Because I don't have a clue what bad wolf is? Isn't that something you mentioned when you were explaining who Rose was to us?" asked Rory

"Right, bad wolf, correct Rory I did mention it well done, remind me to give you a medal. Rose harnessing the power of the time vortex, after looking into the heart of the TARDIS, I thought I had taken it all out bu-"

Suddenly he was interrupted by Rose moaning slightly and gripping her head. "Rose, are you okay?" Amy asked worriedly

"Ouch, yeah," she took a deep breath, "fine now, the TARDIS I think just sent me a psychic message. Like a video… weird. OH I SEE! Right the TARDIS just told me what happened. That is so cool!" she exclaimed, a grin on her face.

"Rose focus, what happened?" The Doctor asked, staring Rose in the eye.

"Well, when you took the time vortex out of me, nice kissing by the way," she winked and The Doctor blushed "part of it remained dormant, not really doing any harm, just altering my senses slightly. Nothing much. But when we kissed on bad wolf bay suddenly little reminants of that time vortex were given back the same way you took them out. Plus then your DNA was on me and it started seeping through, slowly altering my DNA. But I don't understand it, TARDIS said that I would've felt different with the dormant particles but I didn't? I felt the same?"

Amy began to recall the conversation she had with mickey when they went to pick him up, "wait Rose maybe you did…"

"What?" asked Rose

"Think about it, when you spoke to mickey in the other universe, you –you said to him that that universe felt wrong."

"She's right," said Rory "because when we landed back home you started jumping up and down saying this one felt right. Maybe you sensed the change?"

"Oh my gosh you're right! That universe it always felt different, like it was just wrong in every sense!" Rose exclaimed

"That's how I usually feel when I'm there," admitted The Doctor. He pondered for a moment "Rose how did you feel when you saw jack?"

"Well, I felt happy to see him again but there was this twist in my gut when I got near him… it was like he felt wrong I just assumed it was nerves… why? How do you feel about jack?"

"Don't get me wrong Jack is a fantastic guy, and a good mate but he is a fixed point in time, and that in itself is wrong. I hate the feeling, if I'm honest. That's why I left him on the game station, I had just regenerated and my instincts took over. It's not so bad nowadays, but he still feels a little off"

Rose was excited yet confused by all the changes that were actually very apparent, yet somehow she had never noticed them. Like how she could actually keep up when The Doctor went on one of his 100 mph scientific rants. It was scary and brilliant at the same time.

" I can't believe this! It's so surreal, but doctor if I'm part Gallifreyan… what does that mean? Will I live for a long time, or what? Could it kill me?" she was now beginning to feel a lot more scared. It must be this new DNA,she thought all my emotions have been amplified 1,000 times!

"I'm not really s- OUCH" said The Doctor as he gripped his forehead.

"Doctor?" Rory asked

"Gosh TARDIS a little warning next time!" he shouted, rubbing his head "this one knows everything, I wonder why she never told me! She said you just stop aging apparently, and you get somewhere between 2 and 4 half-regenerations, she can't be 100% sure considering this has never happened before."

"What's half regeneration?" asked Amy

"Basically Rose will physically heal, but won't go for the full personality and body transplant bit like I do. Lucky sod!"

"Doctor isn't this wonderful? I can actually stay with you… forever!" Rose exclaimed hugging him.

"Rose this is brilliant and a little bit impossible and a whole big bit of scary but me and you, we can do this! We can literally have… forever. Rose I love you, human or otherwise."

Rose gave him a light kiss on the lips, "most definitely otherwise" she grinned.
