Alternate ending for everyone who is either curious or wishes the ending wasn't so...evil? Yes, I think that's the right word, lol.

There are 3-4 chapters for the new ending.

"We have to go back!" Rose yelled over the TARDIS engines as she grabbed his arm intent on forcing him to turn around, but she was stopped by a flash of light. She spun around and came face to face with…the Doctor, but not the one refusing to go back. Her Doctor. The one in leather who first showed her the stars.

"Oh, not you again," the Doctor snapped. "I thought I got rid of you."

"Can't get rid of me," her Doctor replied with a grin, making the other Doctor roll his eyes. "I'll be here till the end of you and the end of her."

"You," Rose whispered, but it couldn't be.

Her Doctor's eyes found hers. He smiled.

"Rose Tyler," he greeted, as if the words held some unknown power. "I've wanted to say that for over a hundred years."

"But you…you died."

"Mostly," he shrugged.

"Mostly?" she asked, confused.

"You didn't just save Jack that day."

"What?"

The Doctor sighed, walking across the console.

"When I…he took the time vortex out of you it latched onto a part of me…well, him, and it's all very timey wimey-"

"Timey wimey?" her Doctor asked in a condescending tone.

"It's a technical term."

Her Doctor rolled his eyes before glancing at Rose. She was still stunned, but she couldn't help smiling back when he took her shoulders, excitedly as he grinned at her.

"The thing is, Rose Tyler, you saw it coming-"

"We don't know that, you're just guessing," the Doctor replied.

Her Doctor shot him a glare.

"It's a good guess and if anyone could do she could so shut up. I'm talking." Her Doctor caught her gaze. "What I'm trying to say is you saved me. Only, my body had to regenerate."

"So…you're-"

"Part of the ship, basically," he explained as he released her and held his arms out, glancing up at the ceiling.

Her smile slipped as she realized what she did. She saved him only to trap him in the TARDIS forever. What kind of life was that?

"I…I'm sorry."

He spun around and grabbed her shoulders as he gazed into her eyes.

"Don't be sorry. I'm not. I got to see you again and to me that's worth it," he said, pulling her into a hug.

She held him, breathing in the smell of his leather jacket.

"But, I mean, are you okay?" she asked, pulling back enough to look into his eyes.

"I'm always okay." She eyed him. "I'm okay, Rose. Really." He glanced at the Doctor. "Besides, someone's got to keep this idiot in line."

"I can take care of myself," the Doctor miffed.

"Really? Then what exactly do you think you're doing?" her Doctor snapped, striding up to the other Time Lord.

"I'm saving her," the Doctor insisted, glaring back.

"Kidnapping her's more like it," he replied, folding his arms.

"I'm not kidnapping her! She doesn't belong here."

"Don't I get a say in where I belong?" Rose snapped.

Her Doctor turned around with a grin.

"As you should," he agreed.

"You don't belong here," the Doctor insisted.

Her Doctor rounded on the other Time Lord.

"Why? Because it's not where you left her?"

"I didn't leave her. I gave her a better life."

"And how'd that working out?" her Doctor asked.

"I know what's best for her."

Her Doctor rolled his eyes.

"You and the one with the hair. Idiots the pair of you."

"Doctor," she tried, wanting to reason with him if she could. "We have to go back. We have to save them."

"No, we don't. I can fix this."

"Fix that?" her Doctor demanded, stepping over to the console. "What the hell are you planning?" He glanced at the monitor before his eyes snapped to the other. "You can't!" he insisted, stepping up to the Doctor, not even trying to hide the anger in his eyes.

The Doctor drew himself up to his full height and held the other Time Lord's gaze.

"I'm a Time Lord. The laws of time are mine to control."

"You said that once before and you remember how that worked out," her Doctor snapped, looking as if he wanted to throttle his counterpart.

"I was young," the Doctor dismissed, "I know so much more now. It'll be different this time."

"I won't let you," her Doctor said, reaching for the lever, but at that moment the Doctor pulled his sonic and pointed it at the other Time Lord then pushed the button. As the sonic warbled her Doctor became ethereal, like the recording she remembered from so many years ago.

When he tried to grasp the lever his hand passed through it.

"What did you do?" Rose demanded.

"Reverted him to his natural state," the Doctor dismissed, pocketing his sonic.

"Cut me off from the TARDIS's what you mean," her Doctor snapped.

"You weren't meant to be part of my TARDIS."

"She's my TARDIS too."

"The point is," the Doctor continued.

"The point is," her Doctor cut in, "You just want me out of the way, but I won't let you do this!"

"You can't stop me," the Doctor replied, typing on the keypad.

"You'll kill her!"

"What?" Rose asked as the TARDIS began to shake.

"Rose won't die," he insisted.

"She will," her Doctor yelled, pointing at her.

The Doctor was different. She'd seen that early on, but he wouldn't actually kill her. She couldn't believe that.

"Doctor, don't," she said, stepping toward him. "Whatever you're thinking, please, don't do it."

The Doctor glanced at her then, caught the fear she wore. She didn't understand. He closed the distance between them and reached for her.

"It'll be fine, Rose. I promise. You'll be fine. Better than fine because everything you went through, all that stuff with Moriarty, it won't have happened. Don't you see? You'll be safe."

Realization hit her and she stepped back out of his reach.

"But, that's how Sherlock found me."

"You won't need Sherlock," he dismissed as he turned around and hurried back to the console. "You'll have me."

"What?"

She pulled herself along the railing toward the console.

"Doctor," she continued. "I don't understand."

Her Doctor was beside her then.

"He's going to make it so you never wind up here."

"What?" she asked, catching his gaze. "How?"

"He's going to go back for you the day he left you on that beach."

That was impossible. He couldn't go back.

"No, but the walls were sealed."

"You think walls being sealed can keep out a Time Lord and his TARDIS?"

"You mean…he could've come back?"

"Yes, but he didn't know that. This one, this version figured that out, didn't you?" The Doctor ignored him. "And now he's going to use that to change things."

He was going to change her past. Make it so she was with him. All those years ago she would've given anything for that, but now…

"You can't!" she yelled, charging toward him. She had to stop him. "Sherlock! My daughter! I'll lose them."

She reached him then and grabbed his arm, but he spun around and held her in place, even as she struggled, her eyes filling with tears. He was going to take them away from her.

"It'll be fine, Rose. You won't even remember them."

"Please, oh, god, please don't do this!"

He pulled her into his chest and held her there. She was upset, but she wouldn't be. She'd forget and then everything would be as it should.

"You know why she jumped," her Doctor said, reminding her of the cracks and the reason she left the other universe in the first place.

"My parents! Tony! Doctor they'll die," she yelled pulling away from him. "The other universe will rip apart!"

"I can save them, Rose," the Doctor insisted, crossing back to the console. "You have to trust me."

"But it'll just be them," her Doctor pointed out. "Everyone and everything in that universe will die."

"Everyone dies. Everything ends."

Those words sent a cold chill through her heart. This wasn't the Doctor, not the man she remembered.

"What happened to you?" she asked, but he merely glanced at her.

"But not you," her Doctor snapped. "You just keep going, keep living, and take whatever you want. Is that what you've become?"

"I deserve this," he insisted, turning back to the console.

"But what about her? Does she deserve this?"

"I can keep her safe."

Rose glanced from one to the other as the tears flowed down her cheeks, knowing there was nothing she could do. Once again the Doctor was deciding what was best for her and once again he wasn't giving her a choice. She flopped into the jump seat, covering her face with her hands, wishing that somehow she could stop this.

Her Doctor had never felt so angry in all his nine hundred plus years. Rose Tyler, his Rose, the shop girl who was so much more than a shop girl, so much more than a bumbling ape and there she was giving up. Defeated and all because of this new regeneration. Not just him. The other one too. The pair of them making decisions for her. Something he never did.

He strode toward this newest regeneration, anger burning behind his eyes.

"You're going to stop this and you're going to stop this now!" he demanded.

"Or what?" the Doctor asked, glancing at him as if he was no more of a threat than a fly. "You'll nag me to death?"

"STOP! THIS! NOW!" He shouted.

A lever flipped back into place.

"What did you do?" the Doctor demanded, racing toward the lever and flipping it only to have two more levers flip back on the other side.

Her Doctor grinned.

"I think I've managed to tap back into the TARDIS. She's not very happy with you, by the way."

"Stop that!" the Doctor yelled, pulling out his sonic and using it once more.

"I'll have no more of that," her Doctor said and a moment later the sonic sparked.

The Doctor dropped it and when he bent down to pick it up he realized it shorted out.

"That's not possible."

"I'm part of the TARDIS. The sonic's part of the TARDIS," her Doctor grinned.

"Can you stop it?" Rose asked, wiping her eyes as she stood up.

He gave her a wide smile.

"For you, Rose Tyler, I can do anything."
