I not own Doctor Who, it is the property of BBC. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You was the theme song from the movie Robin Hood and is the property of Bryan Adams. I have modified the lyrics slightly to better fit the context.
CHAPTER 13
Rose was wearing an elegant red gown that hugged her figure in all the right places. None of the Doctors could take their eyes off of her, yet none of them were willing to be the one to approach her. "My Doctor. I dedicate this song to you." She said as soft music started playing over the sound system.
Jack handed her a leather jacket, which she put on. Nine's eyebrows went up. It was his jacket (the Doctors were wearing tuxedos)! She walked over to Nine, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the middle of the dance floor as she began to sing.
Look into my eyes – you will see
What you mean to me.
Search your hearts, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more.
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for.
You can't tell me you're not worth dyin' for.
You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you.
She led Nine back to his seat and kissed him. He gasped and hesitated before returning it. Martha rushed by and tossed gold glitter into the air as Jack removed the leather jacket and Mickey helped her put on a brown suit jacket with blue pinstripes. Ten recognized it immediately. The Doctors looked at each other in amazement. They could tell what she was doing. She led Ten to the floor and started to sing.
Look into your hearts – you will find
There's nothin' there to hide.
So, Take me as I am, take my life.
I would give it all, I would sacrifice.
Don't tell me you're not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true:
Everything I do, I do it for you.
She led Ten back to his seat and kissed him. He returned it without hesitation. Donna rushed in, carrying a fake hand and threw gold glitter as Rose changed from the brown jacket to a blue one. Tentoo stood with a smile on his face as Rose led him to the floor and once again began to sing.
There's no love like your love
And no other could give more love.
There's nowhere unless you're there
All the time, all the way, yeah.
She led him back to his seat and kissed him. She replaced the blue jacket with the brown one again. Amy rushed by with more gold glitter and handed her a bowtie and a fez. Losing the brown jacket, and donning the accessories, she led Eleven to the floor. Since it was the interlude, she just danced with him. She looked deep into his eyes. There was no doubt in his mind what her feelings were for him.
After the interlude, she led him back to his seat with the much anticipated kiss. She took off the bowtie and fez as Clara ran by with more gold glitter and a black jacket with red lining. Twelve then stood for his turn as one again, she began to sing.
Oh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for.
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more.
Yeah, I would fight for you, I'd lie for you,
Fight the wire for you, yeah, I'd die for you.
You know it's true:
Everything I do, oh, I do it for you.
Then she kissed him, and despite his reservations about this regeneration not liking hugs, kisses apparently were something that this body enjoyed. Or kisses from his Rose, at least. She shed Twelve's coat. The other four Doctors were beckoned by Rose to join her on the floor. All five had tears in their eyes. They finally got it. Rose Tyler was in love with the Doctor. It didn't matter what face he wore, or how many hearts he had: she loved him because he was the Doctor.
Soon, the other couples joined them on the dance floor. Rose danced with each of her Doctors. Sometimes one at a time, sometimes with more than one. Everyone on board the TARDIS was finally happy. The party went on late into the TARDIS night. Eventually, the humans all felt sleepy and retired to bed.
"I love you, Doctor." Rose said before going off to bed herself.
The Doctors, however, were not tired. They remained in that room for quite awhile, letting the silence proclaim the sanctity of the moment. "She used the singular form of the word 'Doctor', even though she was speaking to all five of us, didn't she?" Ten said.
"Yes, she did." Nine replied. The younger four Doctors all looked at Twelve expectantly who just nodded and pulled out his sonic. The others did the same. "It's about to get very crowded in here." He said.
He turned to a setting on his sonic that he had never used before and it began to whir and glow softly. "The signal" he said, and turned to Eleven whose sonic began to whir and glow in the same manner. Eleven grinned as he turned to pass the signal to Tentoo.
"No. I can't." Tentoo said. "I'm not really you. I'm human."
"Counted as a full regeneration, you did!" Eleven exclaimed. "And she sang to you as well as the rest of us."
Misty eyed, he accepted the signal, and his sonic started glowing as well. He then turned to Ten whose sonic also began to whir and glow. "I can't believe we're actually doing this" Ten said.
Ten, swallowing the lump in his throat, then turned to Nine whose sonic began behaving the same as the others.
Nine grinned and began to wave his sonic in the air. The War Doctor appeared. He looked confused at first, but then understood as his own sonic began to glow. "The signal? Oh, but how? I do not deserve it! Not after what I've done!" Nine just nodded at him. "Just pass it on." So he did.
One by one, each of the past faces of the Doctor appeared in the room, each of their sonics glowing that now familiar glow. As the signal passed to the younger Doctors who did not have sonics, the center console of the TARDIS began to glow, and they recognized it for what it was, and laid their hands on it to pass the signal on. Then the first Doctor appeared. He took in his surroundings, his future selves lined up in all sorts of colorful garb, and the glowing TARDIS and he knew.
"It is the signal." He said. "Where is she?"
