BOOK I: Fixing the Doctor's Mistake
CHAPTER 18: Timey Whimey Finales pt 2
While Eleven and Donna were arguing in the TARDIS, chaos was erupting on board the Crucible. First, they'd lost the TARDIS with Donna still inside. Then Jack was killed and presumably escaped. Then the Space Family were all trapped in individual circles of light as Davros taunted the Doctor. The parents were ridden with guilt: Rose because she had dragged her own daughter into this nightmare ("I'm a horrible Mum!"), and the Doctor because of, well, a lot. Jenny really just had to go to the bathroom.
Then the others started in. First, Martha appeared on screen with the Osterhagen key. "It is to be used only if the suffering of humanity is so great that we have no other options," she'd said.
"What? What is that?" The Doctor asked.
"There are nuclear warheads set at strategic points under the Earth's crust that are set to go off when this key is activated."
"What?! What would you want to do that?!" The Doctor was shocked.
"It seems that they need these 27 planets for something. What if there were only 26?"
The Doctor couldn't believe what he was hearing!
Dalek Caan taunted him. "And it is as I have seen! The soul of the Doctor is revealed!"
"Calling all Dalek boys and girls! This is Captain Jack Harkness and friends calling you from an unknown location on your own ship! We have a warp star! Deactivate the reality bomb, or this entire ship explodes!"
"Now that's what I call a ransom!" Jenny gleefully exclaimed.
Rose gave her daughter a dirty look before scrutinizing who else was with Jack. There was Sarah Jane, and... "Mickey?! Mum?! What are you doing here?!"
"Saving the universe, just like you, Sweetheart!" Jackie replied enthusiastically.
But Davros was also scrutinizing the group. His eyes fell on Sarah Jane. "That face! I've seen your face before!"
"I've learned how to fight since then!" She proudly proclaimed.
Davros laughed. "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor. The man who despises weapons. And no wonder? He doesn't need to carry them. He transforms his Children of Time into the weapons instead. He takes ordinary people and makes them soldiers. How many people, Doctor? How many people have died in the name of the Doctor? I've created the Daleks, Doctor. This is what you've created. Are we really all that different?"
As Davros spoke, Rose watched the Doctor's confidence rapidly decline as the weight of his guilt was multiplied. She could feel the Bad Wolf begin to stir, but she held her down for now. Davros was not going to win this. Not this way! Rose Tyler was about to be unleashed!
"You're wrong, you know," Rose addressed Davros. "And I speak on behalf of all the Children of Time. The Doctor did not make us this way. Oh, no. The Doctor simply took ordinary people and showed us something extraordinary: who we really are on the inside! It is the likes of you and your horrible creations and others like them that fashioned us into weapons. The Doctor shows us how beautiful the universe is! You and your kind show us how ugly it can be. We had to become soldiers to defend the beauty against the ugliness that is you!"
Throughout her speech, the Doctor watched her, amazed. She really did love him, despite the fact that everything Davros said about him was true. But before he could respond, the Davrod hit a button, and everyone tumbled into the room, their weapons of destruction left behind. And that was when they heard it: the TARDIS was returning!
Donna and Eleven emerged, a plan forged.
"You again?!" Ten cried. Eleven just waved his sonic to his former self in greeting as he and his former companion worked to disable the reality bomb.
"Two Docs!" Jack cried. "You don't even want to know what I'm thinking right now! Am I right, Rosie?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows at her suggestively.
"Oh, for the love of Rose... SHUT UP JACK!" The Doctors replied in stereo. Rose actually burst out laughing at that.
Reality bomb disabled, Daleks paralyzed (Donna made them spin in circles), Davros apprehended (Mickey and Jack held him at gunpoint) and prisoners freed (Jenny immediately ran into the TARDIS to use the facilities), the two Doctors worked to return all the planets to their proper places. Then the magnetron burned out.
"There's still one planet left, and oh, guess which one it is?" Ten remarked as he ran back into the TARDIS. The Supreme Dalek then descended into the room and told them that they would be destroyed before Earth could be restored. Well, Jack took care of him! Everyone then boarded the TARDIS, everyone, that is, except for Eleven.
He knew what he had to do now. It's what his double had done. But he couldn't do it! He couldn't commit genocide again! Davros caught his hesitation, and went to the controls himself. "Get out of here, Doctor. Dalek Caan's prophecy must be fulfilled!" He said as he hit the button that caused the Crucible to self destruct. The Doctor boarded the TARDIS quickly after that! They dematerialized just in time!
Rose took advantage of the crowded console room to speak briefly with her bow tie Doctor. "Hello," she said.
"Hello," he replied.
"So we fixed it, then?"
"Seems like it."
"So, I'm traveling with you now?"
"You weren't when I came here."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh," he said as he turned to face her head on, holding her firmly by the shoulders. "But look here, Rose. That doesn't mean that you've failed. You've been amazing. Absolutely amazing! Really. I'm so very proud of you! It's possible that maybe what you've done here just hasn't caught up to this me, yet. I could go back to my time line and find a future you waiting for me. You never know! But even if you're not, I want you to know that I don't regret anything! I love you! And every moment we have together is very precious to me! You and I fixed the mistake today. This guarantees us more precious moments together. And I couldn't be happier!" They hugged, tears running down both of their cheeks.
"Promise me one thing, Doctor?" She said. "Never forget me?"
"Oh, Rose Tyler!" He sighed, trying desperately to hold back the tears. "I'll never forget you!"
"Forever?"
"Forever."
Pinstripes watched this exchange quietly, albeit with just a tiny bit of jealousy. Still, his heart felt heavy, knowing that despite everything that had happened to rewrite his history, he still could end up alone without Rose. He walked over to his future self.
"Still cleaning up a mess?" Ten asked. "TARDIS exploding and stuff?"
"Yeah. I was the one shot by a Dalek this time! What's up with that?!" Eleven replied.
"They're still around?" Ten groaned.
"'Fraid so. They're like a nasty fungus. No matter how many times you destroy them, they keep coming back!"
"Yeah, except that fungus usually doesn't try to take over the world."
"Not true! Remember Trillaxica III?"
"Oh yeah! That was a nasty one!" Ten laughed. Then he took future Jack's vortex manipulator off of his wrist and gave it to his future self. "Good luck. And no offense, but I hope that the next time I see your face, it'll be in a mirror."
"None taken!" Eleven replied. "Oh, and Doctor?"
"Yes, Doctor?"
"Take care of our Rose." With that, he vanished.
He materialized back in the museum, moments after he left, startling Amy, Rory, and River as he appeared behind them as River destroyed the Dalek. "How...?" Amy started.
Jack ran into the room. "Hey Doc! I've rigged the Pandorica to fly into the TARDIS. Think that'll stop the explosion?"
"It will, if I'm in it!" He replied. "By the way, this, I believe, belongs to you," he said, returning the vortex manipulator.
"Thanks! But how did you get it?"
"Took an impromptu trip into the past when that Dalek got me. Now, if you'll excuse me, the universe is crumbling as we speak." He climbed into the Pandorica, and blasted off into space.
Immediately, the universe began to repair itself. There was only one problem: the universe forgot the Doctor.
Amy and Rory had a beautiful wedding day! Never had there been a happier couple! Amy's maid of honor was sad, though. Someone was missing who should have been there, someone who was very important to the bride and groom, but especially important to the bridesmaid.
Suddenly, a woman with extremely curly blonde hair and a very good looking man who was wearing a WWII era coat walked by and handed the maid of honor a peculiar book that looked like a blue police box. "Doctor!" She whispered.
Suddenly, there in the middle of the dance floor, the TARDIS appeared. The Doctor emerged, appropriately dressed for the occasion in a tuxedo complete with white bow tie, top hat, cane, and tails.
"It's the Doctor!" Amy cried.
"Oh my goodness! How could we have forgotten the Doctor?" Rory responded, as they both ran to embrace him.
The maid of honor just stood to the side, wiping tears of joy from her eyes. Her name? Rose Tyler.
