Bitter Tasting Love:
Chapter 1:
(Rose's POV!)

When the human version of the Doctor came up to me, as the real Doctor flew away in the TARDIS, and he held my hand, I hated him. I truly hated him. As I looked at him in confusion, I wished he was dead, or had never been made, so that I could be with the real one. The one I really had travelled with in time and space.

That was 6 months ago.

I got passed it, as I started to live my life with this Doctor, my Doctor, I realised how much like the one still travelling he really was. He really was the Doctor. He was exactly the same. The same person. Identical, inside and out. I knew I loved him, and we're happy.

I'm sure we always will be. We'll grow old together, like it should be!

'You all right Rose?' He asked me, looking at me wondrously.

'Yeah I'm good' I replied, smiling broadly. And I meant it. I was good. I was happy. Happier than I had been since I lost the Doctor the first time around. 'Let's go for a walk' I suggested, knowing what the reply would be.

'Running is better' The Doctor replied, predictably. He paused for a moment and added 'Or hopping, hopping's good.' He started to demonstrate by hopping around the room. I giggled.

'I'm not hopping around London' I replied, still laughing.

'Why not?' The Doctor asked me.

'Because some of us like to give the impression that we are sane' I said.

'Why would you want to do that?' He asked me, in all seriousness. 'Being crazy is more fun'

'You're just a big kid aren't you?' I told him. 'Just a big kid stuck in a 900 year old body'

'Better than being old and boring…like some people I could mention' He said.

'I hope you aren't talking about me' I said with mock annoyance.

'Noooo' The Doctor said innocently. 'I was talking about Jackie actually' Then he ran for it.

'Docccctorrrrrr get back him' I called, and ran after him. Keeping my voice full of fake annoyance I added 'No one insults my Mum'

'Catch me if you can' The Doctor said, suddenly appearing in front of me again. 'Bet you can't'

'£5 says I can'

'£10 says you can't' The Doctor said confidently, and ran again.

I ran after him, as fast as I could. I caught up with him after what felt like ages running. 'Got…' My attempt to speak as I caught him was unsuccessful. 'Gotcha' I tried again.

'Oooh' He moaned.

'That'll be £10 thanks' I said, laughing, and trying to catch my breath at the same time. 'Or you could settle it by buying me a drink'

'A drink it is' The Doctor agreed. 'But first' The Doctor pulled me close, and kissed me. 'I love you Rose'

'I love you too' I replied, and kissed him again.

He grabbed my hand. 'Come on' He said and pulled me along, like he had done before, in some many place, in so many times.
