TIME CAN BE REWRITTEN

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Hi, I am rewriting everything after a stressful few years, my mum died two years ago so I haven't really had any motivation since then and before that I had writers block, but now I figured, I'll start it over and hopefully get this finished. Ideally, I will also continue this through to the newest Doctor, though I haven't seen the latest two seasons yet.

Please enjoy!

OoOoOoOo

Doomsday Goodbye

Rose held back a sob and gave the Doctor a watery smile as he confirmed she would never see him again. She could see unshed tears shining in his eyes as he looked her over, trying to commit the sight of her to memory.

"Rose Tyler, I…" His voice seemed to linger even as he faded away, it was then she finally let go, nearly collapsing in a heap as her emotions overtook her. After all that, after everything they've been through, they couldn't even have one more minute, one more moment between them. She barely noticed Mickey and her mum running over to her and pulling her to her feet, whispering condolences and what was meant to be comforting words.

Rose tried to move on, live her life, like the Doctor would want her to and not waste away in the apathetic numbness that seemed to overtake her, but it was difficult, how could she do that when all she could think of was her Doctor, his childlike enthusiasm, his smile, his laugh, just everything about him.

She tried, she honestly did as her mum and Mickey attempted to cheer her up and distract her, but it hurt them, seeing her fake a smile for their benefit, trying to hide her heartbreak and pain. Even Pete and Jake tried to help, trying to convince her to work for Torchwood but she couldn't not without thinking of the Battle of Canary Warf.

It was five months after Bad Wolf Bay when Rose was dreaming of the adventures she had had with her Doctor and her Captain, when a blinding light took over until there was… nothing, only flashes of gold flowing in and out of the endless emptiness, almost wrapping itself around her as she tried to move away from it.

"Don't be afraid, Rose Tyler," An ethereal voice spoke from behind her, Rose spun around trying to find whatever had brought her here, "You can't see me, dear wolf, we are one and the same."

"Who are you?" Rose asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"As I said, we are one and the same, I am you and you are me and together we are the Bad Wolf."

"B-but the Doctor, he, he took that energy outta me! He died-" Her voice broke as she remembered her first Doctor, the Doctor who put her first and never broke her heart, as much as she loved her pinstriped Doctor, he had put her on a pedestal and distanced himself from her, breaking her heart several times in the process. After meeting Sarah-Jane she didn't blame him, but it still hurt.

She felt the golden energy tighten around her as if embracing her, warmth and happiness seeping into her as the voice spoke again.

"Our Doctor could not take everything, not without killing you, us…" It paused, sadness creeping into the voice, "The Tardis protected us by making us her Heart, she can survive without us but we cannot survive without her, we will eventually wither away here."

Rose could feel her chest tighten at the suggestion that she would die from the separation, "What can we do?" She asked, strengthening her resolve to do whatever she needed to in order to get back to her Doctor and the Tardis.

"Nothing. Not here, not now… but we can send you back, to when it all began."

Rose frowned, but hope had begun to bloom in her chest.

"To the moment you first met the Doctor."

"This ain't funny! If this is some sort of sick joke-" Rose argued desperately, trying to quell the hope and the traitorous feeling that this was real, that the warmth and gentleness of the voice was genuine.

"Do you doubt yourself, Rose Tyler? Do you doubt our love and devotion to our Doctor and our Captain? We can go back, just close your eyes and when you open them, everything will be as it should be." There was an undeniable command in the voice and Rose couldn't help but listen, closing her eyes as she thought of both her Doctors.

Suddenly, she felt a rough hand grab hers, she looked to the side and stifled a gasp as she saw her first Doctor give her a crooked grin as he said, "Run!"

OoOoOoOo
