By the end of the group's adventure, Rory was sun burned, Amy and Rose were almost mauled by dogs with no noses, and the Doctor stole the emperor's fez.
They had only just made it to the TARDIS and escaped sending themselves back to rest in the void. Rose collapsed to her hands and knees panting, Amy repeated the movement both of them sweaty from running and exhausted from being chased by dogs. Rory had waddled to the bathroom to assess his condition and hopefully find some aloe cream to put on, and the doctor had wandered away to the wardrobe to add a new fez to his collection.
Rose laid on her side laughing at what they had just did, "we were just chased, by dogs!-with no noses!" She laughed stopping for breath every couple seconds. "We stole the emperor's fez!" Amy added, both them fell into fits of laughter, Rose liked Amy and Rory and the new doctor was interesting, she missed this, she missed her sister-the TARDIS, she missed traveling and being free.
The doctor hummed happily to himself delicately placing his fez between the other four he owned, "now, there's five" he smiled patting his new fez and walking out of the wardrobe tapping the light pad on the way out. He walked quietly down the corridors not bothering to go check on the girls or Rory, who was about as red a lobster. He just let Rose back on board without really thinking about it, what if River dropped by? What would she say ... How would he explain who Rose was? Who Rose was to him? But why did he let her back ... He was over her, it was years since he'd seen her last, she was gone. But was she really always gone? Stop it! The doctor hit his head a couple times and continued through the maze of the TARDIS in thought.
Amy and Rose sat at the TARDIS doors watching the sky of space and taking in every moment, Rose still couldn't quite believe she was there, in the TARDIS, with the doctor-the new doctor, and with his companions. Rose sighed; she really missed this, "what should we do next?" Amy looked to Rose for an answer, "I dunno" Rose replied as she leaned back on her hands. Amy sat trying to think of something she had never done, "this TARDIS is different" Rose stated, "what'd ya mean?" Amy scrunched her face confused. "It was coral before, not this" Rose explained looking around the room "my-my TARDIS was very different, "oh-well when I met the doctor this was how it looked" Amy informed. The two women stayed silent, "how about we explore the TARDIS?" Amy's eyes widened, with excitement in her voice, that was something Rose never got to do-all though she did get lost once and found a few-odd things, but this TARDIS was different, so why not? "Sure" Rose nodded her head in agreement, stretching as she pulled herself up off the floor.
Rory fought to see his shoulders and back in the mirror not quite able to see where the sun burn was, so he smacked his back with hand in hope to find a patch of burnt skin. "Ouch!" Rory yelped as he hit his left shoulder, bad idea, he rubbed the aloe on his back wincing in pain, when he heard two pairs of footsteps coming down the hallway from the console room. He peaked his head out of the door frame to discover a blonde and a ginger walking towards him, 'hey tomato" Amy teased, "are you sure tomato suits him?" Rose asked Amy, Rory rolled his eyes "well it's not my fault that planet had three suns! Be lucky you didn't get burnt!" "Lucky?" Rose glared, "we were almost mauled by a pack of dogs!"Amy continued, Rory turned around back into the bathroom to finish putting on the aloe cream.
Amy and Rose continued down the hallways of the TARDIS exploring room after room, until they came across one room that had brought tears to Rose's eyes. The door painted TARDIS blue with the word "lost" on it had millions of things in it, but when the girls had a long enough look around Rose started to understand what this room was. It was a memorial room, there were over a hundred pictures scattered across tables and shelves and Rose was enjoying look at all of them, until she came across a face she recognized, Sarah Jane smith, Rose thought to herself. "Sarah Jane" Rose spoke, "hmm?" Amy made a noise from across the room, Rose took another couple steps scanning pictures of different people and names written on plaques, Rose read a couple names in her head, Susan, Ian, Dodo, Jo Grant, Leela. Rose stopped at the picture of the tin dog, which she recognized as K-9 she smiled a watery smile, these were all his companions, all the one's he lost and all the ones who left or were taken. She carried on walking slowly taking step after step reading more and more names and examining every picture and every detail of all the doctors' companions. Soon she began to recognize some more, there was the familiar dark skinned woman who she remembered being called Martha-Martha Jones, she noticed another picture beside the one of Martha that had the quote "Mickey the idiot" on it, Rose let out a sighing laugh and continued brushing her finger against the image of Mickey.
She was at the last table and there were about 7 pictures left, her gaze caught one of the familiar red head that she had helped known as Donna, she picked it up and looked at the other figure in the picture, it was an older man with reindeer antlers on and a soft smile. The name's written were "Donna&Wilfred" Rose assumed this was Donna's father or grandfather, there were another two separate pictures of Donna and Wilfred reading "Donna Noble" and "Wilfred Mott."On Rose's left was a picture of someone who she knew very well, Captain Jack Harkness, She grinned, even his name could've been a pick up line, she could feel the burning in her eyes as she picked up the silver frame with the engraved writing, she quickly put it down and dropped her head. "You alright?" Amy's voice made her a jump a bit, "yea, m'fine" Rose wiped her nose and eye's but didn't bother to turn around. "Are you sure?" Amy's voice was more concerned this time, Rose nodded her head but didn't bother to say anything, Rose felt a hand on hers and turned around to find a pair of green eyes, "no, you're not" Amy insisted "Rose, I know you don't know me that well but I know enough about you and the doctor, and only if you want-you can explain to me what is going on" Amy assured her. "s'nothing, just pictures of old friends, and stuff" Rose looked down at their hands entwined, why was she so comfortable with Amy? "What stuff?" Amy urged her to go on, "just, just stuff okay" Rose was getting frustrated, "I'm just curios, you don't want to leave do you?" Amy questioned, "no!" Rose shot her head up eyes watery, taking Amy by surprise "okay-okay" Amy snickered a little trying to stifle a laugh at how scared Rose looked at the thought of leaving. "Just, if you ever need anything you can tell me, right?" Amy smiled as she wiped away a tear from Rose's cheek, Rose exhaled and turned her head to find the last picture, it was of her but instead of her name engraved on it, at the top of the frame it read "My Rose" and at the bottom "Bad wolf", Rose didn't know whether to smile or break down. How did the doctor control himself after losing so many people? How was she going to do it, she was different now, "let's go find another room, maybe the wardrobe?" Amy suggested, Rose followed still holding onto Amy's hand like a lost, and scared child.
Almost an hour had passed and the doctor was still wandering through the TARDIS aimlessly, not really in the mood to do anything else, he didn't even want to work on the TARDIS or go run off on another adventure. He just thought to himself, he wondered how Amy and Rose had been getting along, and if they were gossiping about him or Rory, but one question stayed in his mind like it had glued it's self there. Why was he so content with letting her back on board? Of course it was Rose, but the entire time they were in Barcelona they hadn't said a thing to each other, she knew he was married and she seemed fine with that. Still, he let her on without many questions and didn't think of testing her, was it sympathy or him being worried? Or maybe it was empathy...she's a time lady now, - so was River, but not anymore, the doctor sighed he was bombarded with emotions of happiness and glee but also of sorrow and sadness. Rose was like him, but he felt so disconnected from her after years of trying to erase her, she was so important but because of that he couldn't even handle the thought of her. Her smile, her laugh, her cockney accent, her eyes-stop it! The doctor hit his fist against the wall; he turned around pressing his back against the cool metal sliding down and sitting with his knees to his chest. Curse emotions.
After an hour of looking through other rooms Amy and Rose had finally made their way to the wardrobe, Amy noticed a more happy look on Rose's face which made Amy feel better too, "it's so different" Rose squealed, "let's try some stuff on!" Amy began to run down the isle of clothing "wait-what?" Rose only just heard Amy as she followed running a few feet behind the red head. Amy threw pieces clothing in every direction as she spoke to herself "no-nope, nope-uh-uh! No, hmm-nah! Ewe, what the-" "little help?" Rose's voice was muffled as Amy looked back she discovered Rose was covered in different articles of clothing "oops..." Amy giggled as she pulled the clothing off Rose, Amy turned back to her section looking through the women's clothing picking out multiple outfits for her to model.
Rose wandered away to another section of the wardrobe until she came across an area filled with clothing that looked liked things the doctor might have worn, a wry smile spread across her face as she walked towards the wrack of clothing. She brushed her hand against each outfit and stopped at the black leather jacket and jumper, this was the first doctors outfit-at least the first doctor she had met, so the ninths, that meant the next was her second doctors outfit. Rose slid her hand down the soft leather and stepped forwards standing next to the pinstripe suit and long trench coat, Rose gently tugged it off the hanger and slid the trench coat over her shoulders covering her black dress, she had to roll the sleeves up a bit but other than that it fit pretty well. Rose spotted a pair of women's bright yellow trainers and rushed to grab them, she slid them on and tied them and stood up again, scanning the room she found a shelf of bowties and a table with five fezzes placed on it. Rose grinned as she thought about how the doctor distracted the emperor well Amy and Rose rushed to grab his fez, Rory had been waiting outside for them at the time, which explained why he was the only one sun burned. Rose swiftly picked up the fez closest to her and placed it on her head, "wow" Amy had a hard time not laughing as she scanned Rose's choice of outfit. Rose turned around to find Amy was wearing a short cream dress that had one strap on Amy's left shoulder (Rose's right) and had curled her hair and picked out a pair of sleek black stilettos. "Same to you" Rose said jokingly, and turned around to pick out a bowtie "what are you doing?" Amy slid over to Rose's side "looking at bowties" Rose replied trying to repeat Amy's sing song voice.
"What about this one?" Amy picked up a TARDIS blue bowtie and held it up for Rose to see, "how many TARDIS blue covered things does he have?" Rose commented, "I think he just needs a fez and he's set" Amy responded wrapping it around Rose's neck, working at tying it well Rose held back a laugh. "Ta-da!" Amy exclaimed as she finished the bow for Rose, Rose followed Amy to a giant mirror as they both stood staring at themselves "your gorgeous" Rose gasped, not realizing what she just said "thanks" Amy blushed, "it's really nice actually having a friend that's a girl" Rose added. 'oh" was Amy's response, Rose never really had friends as a teenager it was just her and Mickey most of the time, and then she met the doctor and she fell in love, and she stayed away from people in the parallel world because she was to afraid of being hurt again, she was to focused on getting back and yet-he hurt her again by sending her away, and then the master came with the Cybermen and-and it hurt too much to think about it. "Hey, you okay?" Amy placed a hand on Rose's shoulder, usually Rose was the one comforting people not the one being comforted, "yea" Rose nodded her head and smiled. "Good" Amy pointed her finger "you look like such a dork" Amy nagged Rose on her outfit "oi! I believe it's rather fitting" Rose declared 'sure..." Amy rolled her eyes, Rose whacked Amy in the arm "hey!"Amy gasped and hit Rose back, soon they were cat fighting like two year olds, squealing and yelling and laughing.
As the doctor finally got up and continued to walk down the hallways of the TARDIS he heard laughing from the wardrobe, he perked his head up and made his way towards the room, "stop it!" he heard Rose's voice "your ruining my hair!" Amy shot back. Oh great, the doctor followed the voices down into his area of clothing only to find it was a disaster, he walked through the piles of clothing sending a message to the TARDIS asking if she could clean up a bit. He kept following the voices only to find that the red head and blonde were practically on top of one other play fighting, for a second he just stared as Rose struggled to push Amy off her well Amy had a hard time getting over her attack of laughter, "oh get off!" Rose muttered, Rose managed to roll Amy off onto the floor and quickly get up running and bumping into the doctor "oh!-sorry" Rose apologized out of breath. The doctor grinned at her wildly as he noticed what she had made for an outfit, his tenth regeneration's trench coat, his first fez, a pair of bright yellow sandshoes, and his TARDIS blue bowtie, the doctor stood silent looking her over "doctor?" Amy gave him a questioning glance "oh-yes, that's fine-umm, nice, nice outfit you've got" he quickly spoke.
Rose laughed "thank you" she replied glaring back at Amy as if she was saying "see, he likes it" Amy rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Amy, you should go check on the tomato" the doctor suggested in hopes of getting her out of the room "you mean Rory?" Amy raised an eye brow "yea, the tomato" the doctor stared at Rose not bothering to acknowledge Amy. "Is that his name now?" Rose joked, Amy made a snorting laugh as she walked away out of the wardrobe, Rose was happy but a little disappointed, she wanted to yell to Amy to not leave her there, and she had also been having fun, something she hadn't had or felt in a long time.
"Rose...I-I was thinking, maybe, we could run some tests?" the doctor explained his thoughts, "what'd ya mean by tests?" Rose asked him, "like, for your time lord-lady biology just to see how everything's going you know..." he trailed off scratching the back of his neck. Rose didn't say anything, "I mean-you don't have to I just thought-" Rose stopped him "sure-I, I guess" she forced a smile "lead the way" she breathed.
It took them five minutes to get the medical bay and get everything setup and then Rose was being injected with a needle, Rose bit her lip as the doctor drew blood and then put the bandage on, taking the blood to examine it. "Do you have any telepathic abilities?" The doctor looked up from his table, Rose knew what he was talking about, within the month she had with the metacrisis doctor he had taught her how to use her telepathy with him, since he had a small connection with the TARDIS, Rose nodded her head slowly. "I know how to use it" she mentioned as he walked back over to her, the doctor placed two of his fingers at her temples, "if you don't want me to see anything just-" "just imagine a door", Rose finished his sentence for him "is this okay" the doctor dropped his hands and looked Rose in the eyes, she thought about it for a second "yes" she granted him permission to do it. The doctor placed his two fingers back at her temples and wandered through her mind, there were images of war and Cybermen and who he assumed was Tony, then a funeral and Rose working with torchwood, then he came across something that angered and frightened him, it was the Master, he watched in the way Rose would've seen as the metacrisis died for her. He(the metacrisis) walked over to a machine-one that created the Cybermen and then went in well Rose screamed, when he arose from the machine he was the leader of the Cybermen but instead of attacking Rose he kept repeating five words, "Rose Tyler-" he walked towards the master "I love you" and then it stopped the doctor stopped it, he cringed at the words backing away from Rose, his eyes wide with fear and pain for her.
"Doctor..." Rose spoke, tears forming in his eyes as he turned away and assessed her blood sample which confirmed she was a full time lady. "Rose Tyler..." he said her name so quietly she could only just hear him, he turned around and stalked towards her slowly, he stared at her-sitting there, his once pink and yellow human who he had fallen in love with was now like him, instead of him turning into a human duplicate who could spend their life together she was the one who changed. Rose drooped her head to look at her thighs as he stood in front of her "oh Rose" he tried to comfort her as she sniffed and sobbed trying not to let him hear. The doctor put a finger under her chin lifting her head up so he could see her chocolate brown eyes, there were tear stains down her cheeks and it killed him to see her like that, "please don't cry" he wrapped his other arm around her so he was against the side of the table. "What am I going to do?" she sobbed into his tweed jacket her tears dripping onto the trench coat, the doctor sighed, he could be happy about this, but what about River? And he couldn't just leave Rose behind, she was lost, she would always be lost she would always be part of that room, because he didn't know if he could help the Lost, he never found them, and if he did, he either left them behind or they walked away.
"Rose I-I don't know..." he answered truthfully, because he wouldn't lie to her, he wouldn't send her away this time, he was a coward-always, but he didn't want to lose her again. "Are-are you... going to-send,- send me away?" Rose sputtered, the doctor stood silently rocking Rose back and forth with both his arms around her, his Rose was broken and lost, why would he break her and make her more lost "Rose Tyler, I'm never sending you away ever again" the doctor promised her and himself. No. Matter. what.
"What do you think of Rose?" Amy looked at her husband lying on the bed who showed quite the resemblance to a lobster "she's nice, you spent the day with her though, so how was she?" Rory concluded "she's different, she's got a bit of mouth I guess" Amy answered, Rory snorted "what?" Amy grumbled "sounds like someone I know" Rory nagged Amy 'OH shut it!" she shot back "sorry" Rory held his hands up in defence. "Oi, you're the tomato, you'll be sorry when I smack ya in the middle of the night" Amy teased "you wouldn't" Rory's pupils grew "oh really" Amy gave him a suspicious glance as he sank down under the covers."Anyways she got upset a few times-I'm not sure why, but she was really fun" Amy explained crawling into the bed beside Rory.
"What about Amy, and –and Rory and...River?" Rose stuttered through her tears, "they'll be fine" the doctor rubbed her back in a soothing motion "calm down" he whispered "how do you do it?" Rose looked up, "do what?" he replied calmly "watch us leave?" she asked, the doctor was a bit stunned "I don't-I can't do it" he tried to explain "but you watched me leave?" Rose asserted. "I broke down after" the doctor admitted, Rose squeezed him and shoved her face into his chest, "I don't care if your different-take me with you to travel the stars" Rose pleaded "Rose Tyler I've burned up a sun for you and you've looked into the heart of the TARDIS to save me, I'll do anything" he smiled into her hair and moved her hair to see her brown eyes with the specks of gold "we have forever to travel you know" he laughed lightly "yea" she smiled as she hugged him back he leaned down to kiss her forehead, nothing told him to stop. The doctor wasn't over Rose Tyler, he was falling for her all over again. Curse Emotions.
