Allons-y!

''Um, I'm the Do...I'm Joh...John Smith.''
The future Doctor shook the hand of the now really stunned Doctor.
After a few seconds, the real Doctor added, ''And I know everything about you, Doctor.''
Rose nodded. ''Me, too. You are well... You are a legend.'' Both Doctors looked started at her. ' What? I think so!'' Rose blushed a little bit. She had thought it, but she never had wanted to say it out loud. Somehow, it still had ended up happening. Her Doctor's face changed into a huge typical Doctor grin.
The future Doctor, of course, thought that she talked about him. He didn't knew, that she actually talked about her Doctor. He got it somehow wrong. '' Well, thank you, Miss Rose Tyler. My modesty not allow me to agree with you but still; yes, I am.''
Rose was confused. ''But I didn't mean-'' She realized her mistake. She hadn't thought about the fact that there are two Doctors now and that she must be careful with what she said. ''Weeeeell... Um, forget it.'' She stared and the ground and scratched her forehead.
The Doctor chuckled and pulled her to him. He put an arm around her waist. He thought it was really sweet when Rose didn't know what to say.
Rose was glad that he tried to remedy her predicament. He started talking again.
''A legend who has lost a lot of memories, ooh?''
The man's face changed into a serious expression. ''Where do you know that from?''
The Doctor looked at him like the answer was obvious. '' You have forgotten me and Rose.''
The future Doctor's eyes wandered over both. He didn't know them. He was sure. Really sure. ''A lot of pieces from my memory were taken away. When I try to look back into my past – well, there is nothing.''
Rose stared at him. ''But there must be something you can remember, right? Anything?'' she asked, her eyes fearful because she didn't know what had happened to her and the Doctor.
The other Doctor shook his head. ''Only the Cyberman. The master of this hellish creature and the old enemies of mine. They are here. In London. They fell from heaven on earth and found me.'' he stared to the ground. Lost in his thoughts. '' They stole something from me...'' He said absently. When he has said this words, Rose could feel, how the Doctors pulled her firmly against his side. His arms was now protectively wrapped around her.
The Doctor didn't look at Rose; he stared absently at the other man. But still she could see the fear that built up in his mind.
''How was I in the past? You must know that really well if you are a important person from my past.'' The future Doctor's gaze fell on Rose.
''Oh, um, I shouldn't say that. It's better. You must be careful with memory loss.'' She could see that he understood.
''But still, I see it again. I speak of Cyberman and the stars and you two don't even blink.''
''Oh yeah, blink! Do you remember? Don't blink. The statures, the weeping angels.'' Rose was confused.
''You met the most dangerous creatures in the universe? The weeping angels?''
''Yes, in the time, you know, when you weren't there at my side.'' She could feel a hint from the pain that he had felt through their Timelord link. She stroke over the back of his hand with her thumb. Their hands were still lanced together.
''I'm sorry. . . .'' She whispered. She shouldn't have asked. She could have hit herself.
'' You are a strange man, Mister Smith,'' the future Doctor said. The Doctor's attention went back to the man.
''Mm, I think so, too. But I also think something goes really wrong here.'' He raised one eyebrow.
After a few seconds of silence, the future Doctor jumped up and walked back. ''Oh, the funeral! It was pleasure Mister Smith and Miss Tyler, but I have to go now.'' He bowed down before them. '' nd don't tell anyone about this!'' He pointed at Rose and the Doctor.
''Can't we just come with you?'' the Doctor asked. He shook his head.
''No, it's too dangerous. Don't worry! I protect this city.'' He turned around and started to run away. But then he turned back. ''Oh, and Merry Christmas, Mister Smith.'' Then his gaze fell on Rose. ''And Merry Christmas, Miss Tyler.'' He winked at her with a smirk, again.
''Merry Christmas.'' Rose laughed. The Doctor rolled his eyes and grumbled.
''He can't stop that, or?'' he murmured. Rose chuckled.
''Aw, come on, you know you are the Doctor I love.''
''Yeah, but don't forget that he is me in one of my regenerations.''
Rose rolled her eyes. She was still in his arms. She stroked his stomach and ran her fingers up to his chest until her hands rested on his cheeks. A warm shiver ran over his back. She pulled him into a passionate kiss. His hands wandered slowly down her back until he wrapped them around her waist. ''Yes but he is not the one with whom I do 'these' sort of things. Nothing near them," she murmured against his lips. She could feel that he shivered again and saw that he wasn't annoyed anymore. She smiled and placed a small kiss on his lips again before she pulled away. ''So, should we follow him?'' She raised her eyebrows questioningly.
The Doctor still wasn't really back in reality. He ran through his hair and grinned. ''Of course. Allons-y, Rose!'' He pulled her with him.

After they had run through some snowy streets, they had found the future Doctor with Rosita at his side. On the street were a lot of people dressed in black. In the middle of them was a black hearse with the dead person in it. Rose and the Doctor could see them discussing something. Then Rosita stomped off, and the other Doctor walked into the opposite direction.
The Doctor waited until Rosita disappeared. ''Let's follow him.'' He told Rose. They saw that the future Doctor stood in front of a house, trying desperately to open the door.
Rose's gaze fell upon an another door. She pointed at it. ''Let's use this one and make him an another surprise for to today. It's not that we confused him enough?''
The Doctor couldn't hide a grin about that. They crept carefully to the door, so the other Doctor wouldn't spot them. Rose took out her sonic screwdriver. She pushed the button and tried to open the door. She could hear a clicking sound, and pushed the door open. The Doctor watched her. She had developed so well in the last years. She was a beautiful, young, clever Time Lady, which exactly knows what she do.
Rose stuffed her purple sonic screwdriver back. She held the door open. ''Are you coming?''
The Doctor could hear that someone tried to break the door open from the outside. He opened it, and a confused future Doctor started at him.
''Hey!'' the Doctor and Rose said simultaneously.
The future Doctor shook his head, and his eyes wandered over them. ''How did you come in?''
The Doctor turned around to Rose and back to the future Doctor. ''The front door. I'm good with doors.''
The future Doctor stared in the direction of the front door in disbelief.
''Um, can I ask you a question? Is that your screwdriver?'' The Doctor pointed at the thing in the future Doctor's hand.
''Yeah, I would be lost without it.'' Rose appeared beside the Doctor. ''But – '' she started to say. However, she didn't really know what to say. The Doctor stuffed his hands in his pockets.
''But that isn't a real sonic screwdriver. There is no sonic.''
The man in front of them furrowed his brows. He knocked with the screwdriver against the wall. ''Well... but it makes noises. That is sonic.''
Rose and the Doctor looked at each other in confusion. ''You know what? We should go inside because we are burglars.''
He stepped inside and Rose closed the door behind him. Something was really wrong. What had happened to the Doctor? She followed both men into the living room with Christmas decorations in it.
''The investigations you do, what are they about?'' the Doctor asked. The future Doctor started to search something.
''It had begun with a slaying.''
''Ooh, good.'' The Doctor nodded. Rose chuckled when she noticed the look from the other Doctor. She cleared her throat. Her Doctor turned around to her and still didn't notice his mistake. Rose rolled her eyes, and her gaze fell to the other Doctor.
''He meant bad.''
The Doctor started to realize.'' Oh, well, yeah, of course, I meant bad. Absolutely. And who got killed?'' ''Mister Jackson lake, a math teacher. This man has arrived three weeks ago in London. And they killed him.''
Rose leaned with her hands on the table next to the Doctor. ''Cybermen?'' she asked.
He looked at her. ''That's a really good question. No one can say because no one has ever found the body. But then it started. More people got killed and children were taken away from their families. They took something away from me too, but I can't remember what it is. . .''
''Your child?'' The Doctor raised an eyebrow.
''I don't have a child.'' He turned around and walked to a shelf of books.
''But, Rose is . . .'' The Doctor's eyes wandered about her and stopped at her belly. He remembered that he must be carefully with memory loss. ''No forget it,'' He added after a few seconds. But how he could forget about it? He was worried about Rose and their baby. And Rose was, too. Of course, he could feel it. But what should he do? His future himself didn't remember anything. ''Who is the owner of this house?'' he asked. ''The last person who got killed. Reverend Aubrey Fairchild. They found him with burns on his forehead. They looked like from electric shook,'' the future Doctor answered, still reading some books.
The Doctor leaned against the table, next to Rose and crossed his arms. ''Who was he? Was he actually someone important to anyone ?'' He leaned to Rose. '' Am I being rude again?''
She grinned her tongue- between- teeth grin. '' Yep.''
The other Doctor stopped searching and looked at the Doctor.
''You ask a lot.''
The Doctor made an innocent face. '' Well, at the moment, I'm your companion.''
There was a moment of silence before the future Doctor answered, ''Reverend Fairchild was a supporter of the child welfare.''
''Again – children,'' the Doctor murmured.
''But why should the Cybermen kill him?'' Rose asked.
The future Doctor furrowed his brows and walked slowly to both. ''That's weird! You two – I know you from somewhere! Your faces. I know them. But why?'' He stared at the couple.
''Listen to me. I saw that you have a watch. And I know that the mind from a Timelord can be hidden in a watch.''
The other Doctor's eyes widened. ''Is that important?''
The Doctor held his hand out to him. ''Can I see it?'' He nodded and laid it in his hand. ''When you open it then. . .'' He pushed the button and the watch opened. The stuff from inside nearly dropped on the ground, but Rose grabbed it and put it back inside.
''That was a good idea, but I don't think it was what you thought it was,'' Rose said, disappointed. Why didn't she know something? An answer to the problem. What happening here?
