Chapter 9

Rose sat in her bedroom flipping through old photo albums. She heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Rose said. Amy stepped into Rose's room. "What are you doing?" She asked.

Rose just shrugged. "Looking at old pictures."

Amy sat down next to Rose and picked up a picture frame off of her dresser. It was a picture of Rose and the Doctor in his ninth form. They were dancing around while Jack was taking a picture. "Who's this?" Amy asked, pointing to the Doctor.

"That's the Doctor." Rose replied.

Amy shook her head. "No, that isn't!"

"Of course it is." Rose said. "Because when the Doctor is dying, he can change what he looks like. Literally every single cell in his body changes. That's what he looked like when I first met him."

Amy smiled at the picture and set it back down. "The Doctor mentioned you had a boyfriend once." Amy picked up a picture of her and the Doctor in his tenth form. "Is this him? He's pretty cute."

"No, that's also the Doctor." Rose replied, glancing at the picture. In it they were both laughing. Rose was leaning back and the Doctor was supporting her, so it looked like they were dancing. Rose smiled at the memory. Mickey took the picture.

"Oh, he was a pretty boy." Amy giggled.

Amy set the picture back down, and picked up an electronic picture frame from the 22nd century. A video began playing. "Rose!" Exclaimed her very northern, big eared Doctor. "Where did you put my jacket?"

"I don't know!" She heard herself yell. Rose looked at the video and watched as she and Jack ran down the halls of the TARDIS, trying to hide from the Doctor because Rose was wearing his leather jacket. Rose took the camera and filmed Jack.

"Oh! Is that your boyfriend?" Amy asked.

"No, that's Jack." Rose said. "He's my really good friend. Best friend." The Doctor caught Rose and took the jacket. "I've only got one!" He said. The video changed and now Rose was being chased around the console by the Doctor in his tenth form.

She was holding his coat. "Rose! Not again!" The Doctor said, but he was smiling. Suddenly the Doctor changed directions and Rose ran into him. The Doctor took the jacket and put it on Rose.

Rose grabbed his brainy glasses and his sonic screwdriver. She put the glasses on and pointed the sonic at him. "Look at me! I'm you." Rose said. The Doctor smiled at her and wrapped her arms around her.

Rose hadn't even realized she was crying. She wiped her eyes furiously and looked at Amy who was smiling at her. "Seems like you always had a good time." She said. Rose nodded.

"Yeah, we did." Someone said from behind her. Rose jumped and turned around to see the Doctor standing behind her. "I can't believe you still have all of this." He glanced at the pictures of them dancing and then at the video frame.

The Doctor sat down next to her and Rose put her head on his shoulder. Amy left the Doctor and Rose to look through old pictures of them before everything went wrong.

There was one picture that Rose really loved. It was the Doctor (in his tenth form) and Rose on a roller coaster sometime in the 45th century. The Doctor's hair was flying up and Rose had her arms around them as they bother screamed, but were smiling. That was a good day.

The current Doctor smiled at her. They stayed up looking through old pictures until Rose's eyes began to droop. The Doctor left and Rose laid down, and soon fell asleep.

She was running. Running in nothingness. The lady was yelling at her again, and this time when she fell, she landed in the console room. She saw the Doctor and was about to get his attention when she noticed he was with another lady. He leaned down and kissed the woman.

Rose sucked in a breath.

They pulled apart. "What about Rose?" Asked the woman.

"Oh, Rose will never find out. She thinks that I actually love her. How pathetic." The Doctor smiled, his eyes looked like soulless, black pits.

She let out a strangled sob and ran to her bedroom. She threw herself onto her bed. A second later she felt herself opening her eyes. She was facing the roof instead of her pillow.

Was it a dream? No, it couldn't be. It felt so real. She felt a cool hand on her arm and she let out a scream. The Doctor was looking down at her worriedly. "You were crying."

She looked away. All she could see was the Doctor kissing that other woman. "You were saying 'no, stop! Don't!'" He told her. Rose looked back up into his eyes.

"Do you think I'm pathetic?" She asked him.

He shook his head. "What would make you think that?"

Rose felt a tear fall down her cheek. "It was just a dream I had. Nothing…" He cut her off by wrapping his arms around her.

Rose liked this… she liked this a lot. Rose let herself sink into his warm embrace. He got up to leave but Rose pulled him back down. Maybe she wouldn't have nightmares if the Doctor was there. "No, stay… please." She whispered.

He sat down on the edge of her bed and held her hand. Rose soon felt herself drifting off to sleep, but not before she felt the Doctor wrap his arms around her and kiss her forehead.
