Rose fell backwards and was surrounded in golden light. Terrified, she closed her eyes and slowly the light subsided, but Rose did not appear to have changed in appearance. She checked her pulse to find that she did have two hearts.

Gingerly, she stood up and looked around.

The Doctor looked on uncertainly. "What's your name?" he asked.

"R...rose" she stuttered, confused.

"But how? You... you're a Time Lady now and..."

Firmer, she replied "My name is Rose Tyler".

"You should have changed. You should be a completely different person."

Rose smiled lopsidedly. " Are you complaining?"
"No... it's just.... impossible"

"You thinking about ' John Smith'?"
Their time in 1913 would never be forgotten.

"I'm still me Doctor" Rose whispered and the Doctor just stared at her.

"Are you... Rose?" he said and she nodded.

"Yes, yes, in fact I... I don't feel much different"
"But you should have Time Lord knowledge - no, you should have changed. And if you haven't then you should know things that only a time lord could know" he looked at her expectantly.

"Like what?"

"Well, who was the last Lord President of Gallifrey? How did the Time War end? What events are fixed in time?"

She just looked blank...

Sorry this update is so short - I have to go off of the computer now, and probably won't have time to update this story for a few days so... :D
