Turns out that as soon as The Doctor opens his big mouth, things start to go wrong. They got careless, and got caught. Guards found Rose and jenny and The Doctor trying to free some slaves from the dungeon, they were halfway through the combinations.
"Halt! Ma'am what is going on, what are you doing?" the guard asked
"Oh well you see erm…" jenny began, trying to make a cover story out of it. The Doctor just sighed,
"Oh give it a rest; she isn't even the bloody queen." He said. Unfortunately, with that knowledge, the perception was altered back and they realised jenny was not at all their queen. Goodness knows who she was. Rose slapped The Doctor on the arm, hard and he winced, sonicing the rest of the combination. It was a major drain on the power in his screwdriver to do so, that's why they had been doing it the old fashioned way before. Everyone was freed and began to flee from the castle, but the guards fought for their worth. They had been given orders directly from their queen, the real queen of what to do, and she was the highest authority. They had taken very serious vows to obey at all costs, until their death.
Rose, The Doctor and jenny fled, until they were cornered into a wall, jenny had a stun gun, but it was only good for one shot. She hardly ever used it anyway, inheriting her father's distaste for weapons. As they were backed into the corner, the guard pointed his gun at The Doctor, "stop this now general, imagine it, a whole new world full of peace. Like the old Chamara X3, before the revolution. Your queen, she shouldn't even be on the throne!"
That was enough to get the guard riled up enough to do something crazy, he pointed his gun and threatened to shoot The Doctor,
"Oi!" Rose shouted and he quickly turned to her, his hands shaking. She took a step towards him, and put her hands on the weapon "it's over," she said "the slaves are all free". The Doctor almost sighed in relief, until he heard the gunshot. Rose crumpled to the ground, and he could see the shot into her abdomen. Jenny quickly fired at the guard and he keeled over, but she didn't go to him. She leant down beside Rose, as the doctor clutched her desperately, with tears falling down his face.
"No Rose, yo-you can't die," he sobbed "I promised id keep you safe"
Rose could barely whisper the words, 'I love you' before her eyes began to close. He was pleading with her to stay strong, pleading for her to wake up. Jenny put a hand on his shoulder, tears pouring out of her eyes too. She had barely known Rose more than a day, but anyone that important to her dad, was important to her too. Rose's slow pulse eventually stopped and she lay dead on the floor the pink flush slowly leaving her cheeks. But then, something strange happened. As The Doctor laid her down and sat next to her sobbing, golden light swirled around her, coming from the TARDIS that was parked just a few feet away. It was where they were running to, before the guard came. The light seemed to be leaking from the console herself and was soon engulfing Rose in a humble glow. The Doctor and jenny stood up slowly, and stepped back a bit unsure of what was happening, and what would happen next. Suddenly, Rose's eyes flew open and she gasped for air. Her eyes were searing with gold, as she slowly stood up clutching her abdomen.
"Feels like I've been shot," she said, wincing slightly. She turned to face The Doctor, and the golden light left her body and filled back into the TARDIS, right back into the heart. The Doctor approached Rose slowly, and stroked her face
"Your, alive…" he barely whispered
"'course I am," she said "Can't get rid of me that easily, now will someone tell me what the bloody hell happened?"
The Doctor was still speechless and awe-struck, so jenny stepped forwards. "Rose you were shot in the gut, you-you died. In dad's arms Rose you actually properly died. And then this gold stuff came out of the TARDIS and, and well here you are." She said
Rose looked down at her abdomen, and slightly lifted up her bloody t-shirt. There were no marks on her skin of any type of injury, let alone a gunshot. "Doctor what's happened?" she asked worriedly
"I-I don't know." He said "which is odd because I know everything. Then again you are quite the impossible woman Rose, that's something I've learnt the hard way." He reached up to caress her face.
"I don't know what happened here Rose, but I do know that I will find out. It might not be very soon, but I'll find out okay? I promise."
"Okay doctor, I have faith in you."
He quickly pulled her into a tight hug, which she returned gratefully. She looked around "everyone got out okay then?" she asked
"Yep," smiled jenny "everyone on Chamara X3 can start again. Don't know where I'm going to go though, my ships wrecked and I was starting to call this place home" she gestured around her at the palace.
"What do you mean you don't know where you're going? You're coming with us of course!" said Rose
"Really?" jenny asked, her face lighting up
"Of course, you're my daughter jenny" said The Doctor "what kind of father would I be if I just left you here. Come on into the TARDIS."
Jenny beamed and ran inside. She stopped at the steps up to the console,
"Oh my gosh it's bigger on the inside" she shrieked excitedly
"Oh yes, it appears to be, never noticed that doctor." Rose said sarcastically and jenny laughed.
The Doctor quickly ran to the controls and began to pilot the TARDIS, quickly looking up at Rose every two seconds, to check she was still there, and alive. He was getting reckless, Rose's death was enough warning for him, he had a family now…sort of, and he would protect them at all costs.
"Where we headed then dad?" jenny asked, as she looked around in awe at the TARDIS
"Well, it's about high time we went to get Donna, she's probably going mental and she'd love to see you. So London, Earth, 21st century nice and simple. Past for you, present for Rose, and well, 21st century for me! Allons-y" and with one pull of a leaver the TARDIS lurched into the time vortex, sending its inhabitants bouncing around.
"Is it always this bumpy?" jenny shouted
"With this one's driving, yes!" Rose shouted back as she clung to the railings. The TARDIS quickly managed to stabilize, and sent them flying through to Donna's house.
Rose took jenny to the wardrobe room to change out of her regal dress and into her signature black leather trousers, green t-shirt, low-top trainers, and black leather jacket. Her sense of style was quite similar to Rose's, who had several leather jackets in the closet. The Doctor hardly ever changed out of his signature brown pinstripes, and his metacrisis clone had his blue suit so there was no chance of that.
The Doctor pulled on his long trench coat, and jenny and Rose met him in the console room. He was delighted at jenny's choice of footwear, converse, and a girl truly after his own hearts. He reached for both their hands and led them outside the TARDIS doors. Jenny looked around in awe at how old everything looked, after all she had been born somewhere in the year 6012, so 2009 was like a whole other universe. She let go of the doctor's hand, and her hands flew to her mouth. "It's all so old!" she exclaimed loudly, buzzing with excitement. Rose and The Doctor both just smiled at her and laughed a bit, and Rose remembered how she was always like that when they landed somewhere new. She clutched The Doctors palm, and they walked up to Donna's door, with jenny following them. He rang the doorbell and was surprised to see none other than Captain Jack Harkness answer the door,
"The Doctor and Rose Tyler, how've you been" he said giving them both a hug. Then he noticed jenny standing behind them, he quickly took her hand and kissed it, "and who's this you've been hiding from me doctor?" he asked gave jenny a wink and said "Captain Jack Harkness, and who might you be?"
The Doctor quickly piped up, "Before you get any ideas jack this is my daughter jenny."
"Jesus Christ how long have you and Rose been gone for?" jack asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Shutup jack not like that, Jenny was created from machine earlier this year, well longer for her but, it's a long story that I really can't be bothered to go through right now. Now where is donna?"
"She'll be down any minuet, good luck" said jack, as he invited them inside. He took jenny to go and meet Wilf and Sylvia who were in the back room, just as Donna came down the stairs; she looked up and saw The Doctor and Rose standing in the hallway, and immediately ran towards him, giving him a slap that would give Jackie Tyler a run for her money.
"Where the hell have you been" she screamed. The Doctor was still recovering from the slap, and Rose was laughing at his bemused expression.
"How long has it been?" he asked worriedly.
"It's been five bloody days! Where have you been oh my god? Honestly, last thing I remember is being zapped by Davos, and then suddenly I woke up here, asleep on my bed, in my clothes like a bloody child. And then gramps is rambling nonsense about how you left me to rest and would be back in two days?! It's been five, and I bloody missed you!" She shouted, before pulling him into a hug.
He hugged her back and laughed, "Firstly I said a few not two days, so we aren't actually that late and secondly we have another guest."
At that moment jack, jenny, Sylvia and Wilf came out of the kitchen.
"Jenny!" Donna shouted before pulling the blonde into a hug "I thought you were dead!"
"I had like semi-regeneration, no biggie" she said with a smile, returning the hug.
Sylvia went to put the kettle on, and The Doctor, jack and Rose sat Donna down in the front room and relayed what had happened on and after the crucible. They sat drinking their tea as The Doctor described the whole, human time-lord metacrisis, and the human clone of him. Then he explained how they found jenny.
"Bloody hell, I did miss all the fun didn't I?"
"So anyway donna, you fancy it, same old life back in the TARDIS and all that?" The Doctor asked finishing his tea
"Do you really have to ask, you big old timelord twat." Said Donna, as she hit him on the arm
"Honestly, I think we might need to get Martha back to treat me for injuries if you're going to keep hurting me." The Doctor whined
"Gosh doctor, your practically being domestically abused." Rose said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"I am" The Doctor protested. He set down his tea cup, and stood up still holding Rose's hand. "Anyways we better get going, come on you lot,"
"Dad….?" Jenny asked
"Yes jenny?" said The Doctor
"Can jack come?"
"Well," The Doctor was hesitant, he didn't want jack praying on his daughter in her little leather trousers every chance he got, but he sighed at the look in jenny's eyes and found himself nodding. "Oh alright, but don't molest my daughter, at least not in front of me, deal?" he said to jack
"I think that can be arranged" jack said with a wink.
The Doctor rolled his eyes again, and they all said their goodbyes to Wilf and Sylvia before heading into the TARDIS, ready to roam time and space, together. One big-old dysfunctional family, the doctors preferred domestic life.
