Time Can Be Rewritten
Amy sat in the captain's chair with the Doctor's witted jacket in her lap as she dung for his sonic screwdriver. She pulled out a small velvet box from his bigger on the inside pocket. She slowly opened the lid and gasped at what it held inside.
"Rory look at what I found in the Doctor's pocket." Amy said to her husband.
Rory walked over to the redhead and sat down next to her in the captain's chair. She turned the box so he could see what it contained. He carefully pulled the ring out of the box. He could tell it had been specially made. The ring had a square shaped diamond with a rose in fine detail inside it with three smaller blue diamonds on the left and right side framing the larger one. He turned to the side and saw a engraving inside the gold band.
'Run, what does that mean?" asked Rory as he read the one word out loud.
"I wonder who the Doctor was proposing to?" asked Amy.
"Her name was Rose." said the Doctor.
Amy looked up and saw a man with floppy brown, hair, green eyes, lightly toned skin, with a lean body. He wore a white shirt, surrenders and a bowtie with a pair of brown dress pants.
"She was fantastic. Beautiful, funny and oh how she loved the running. She was my pink and yellow human."
"What does "run," mean?" asked Rory as he carefully stuck the ring back into the box.
The Doctor took the velvet box and stuck inside his pocket. He smiled sadly, "It was the very first word I said to Rose. She was about to be killed by a window shop dummy. I grabbed her hand and I said, "Run," I never let go of her hand."
"Where is she now?" asked Amy.
"Gone, trapped, in a parallel universe. The breach is closed. I can never get her back. Besides she's happy with her family."
Amy brow frowned. She could see the pain in his green eyes. "You still love her after all this time."
He closed his eyes and nodded his head. "It's like when Rory waited for you for 2,000 years. I'd do it for Rose."
"Can't you do something to stop the events from happening? Can't you go to your past self and tell him to do something before it happens?" asked Amy wanting her best friend to be happy.
"It's a fix point in time Pond."
"Time can be rewritten. It's not like the fall of Troy or the sinking of the Titanic." said Rory.
"I was clinging to an iceberg. Never let anyone tell you something is unsinkable."
"You were on the Titanic?" said Amy.
"Oh yes. It was great ship amazing, but the water wasn't half bad."
"Doctor that was mean." said Amy. "So what do you say. We go change your past to change your future. Please you've done so much for others. Why not do something for yourself. We only want you happy Doctor."
The Doctor slipped on his twitted jacket and spun on his heels. He ran over to the controls. "All right ole girl, were going to save our wolf. The On Coming Storm is rolling in!"
The Time Lord smiled when the lights flashed happily. The trio quickly grabbed onto the nearest thing they could find. The TARDIS took off on her own.
"What's going on Doctor?" asked the Scottish redhead.
"The TARDIS always had a special bond with Rose. Apparently she likes the idea. So she's taken control of our destination." The TARIDS spun quickly through the time vortex sparks flying around her companions. "Hold on the landing's going to be rough!"
The TARDIS landed roughly on the ground shaking Amy and Rory to the glass floor. They looked over the Time Lord, who had remained standing holding onto the control panel.
"Come on Ponds!" said the Doctor running to the door. He stopped, "Oh, and try not to get caught up in these events. This is a dangerous part of my life." He swallowed hard, "Damn Torchwood." He pulled open the door they stepped out of the blue police box. "We parked far enough away from cameras and from were Jackie couldn't hear the TARDIS. Now we just need to find me."
The Doctor walked along the sidewalk with the Ponds as he quietly told them what was occurring at the moment in time. Amy looked at the Doctor in shock. Now she knew why he told them not to get caught up in events.
They stopped in small local park and sat down on the bench. He picked up newspaper that was next to him. He opened it and began to read it not wanting to draw unknown attention to Torchwood, who he knew were watching from the camera nearby. He looked over the newspaper when the TARDIS began to materialize in front of him. He let a smile cross his face. He stood up after it had completely appeared and handed Rory the newspaper for him to look at while he spoke to his younger self.
The TARDIS door open and Rose stepped out of the Police Public Call Box with a large bag on her back followed by the Doctor. He looked around when felt another Time Lord, not just another one but himself.
"Rose go on head I'll be right behind you." said the Doctor.
"Are you sure? I can wait."
"Go on I'll be right there."
"I'll wait for you at the stairs. You don't want a slap from Mum."
He touched his cheek, "I'm face is still recovering from the last one. I'll be right there." She nodded and he watched her walk across the road.
The Doctor stepped around the side of the TARDIS. "Hello me! Why are you wearing a bowtie?"
The Doctor straighten his bowtie said, "Bowties are cool."
"What brings you here to the past?" The Doctor asked his future self.
"We need to change the out come of what's going to happen very soon." said the Doctor and leaned forward and pulled out red velvet box. "Something bad happens and we won't be able to ask our pink and yellow human the question we want to ask."
The Doctor ran his hand through his brown spiky hair causing it stick up even more then normal. "The valiant child will die in battle so very soon." he said repeating what the beast had told Rose. "What must I do?"
The Doctor put the box back inside his past self's pocket. "Lock the levers with sonic screwdriver. Then the leaver won't go off line. And for Raslion sake don't make her leave again."
"Lock the levers with the sonic." said the Doctor repeating his future self.
"Right. Make sure she holds on for dear life." he smiled, "Then we can have our forever. Good luck me!"
"Doctor?" called the past Doctor.
The Doctor turned around, "Yes, Doctor."
"Loose the bowtie." he told his future self.
The Doctor shifted the bowtie. "Bowties are cool." He smiled, "Rose liked our black bowtie. She said we looked smart. So bowties are cool."
"Doctor, thank you."
"Anything for you." said the Doctor.
"You mean us! I better go. I don't want a Tyler slap." The Doctor left his future self and ran across the road to meet Rose keeping the new information to himself.
"Well, that's it Ponds. We better head back to the TARDIS. Before all hell break loose. I mean it. All hell breaks loose." said the Doctor. The Doctor and the Ponds made their way back to the TARDIS.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory entered the TARDIS. "So now we wait." said Amy as she sat down on step.
The Doctor pulled a nearby lever. "We wait," and the TARDIS vanished from the Powell Estate.
