Epilogue

War Doctor/Ninth Doctor POV

I pulled a lever in the TARDIS to fly it away, and noticed my hand had a golden glow surrounding it.

"Suppose this old body is wearing a bit thin..." I muttered. "I hope the ears are a bit less conspicuous this time."

I stretched out my arms and golden light shot out. I felt every cell in my body change to make me new.

I felt the surge of regeneration die down. I looked up to see a hologram of Rose standing there.

"I'm just an interface now," River said, stepping out of the corner of the control room, "but I can still mess with the TARDIS. You need to go to London now."

"Why London?" I ask, using my new voice for the first time. I frowned at my accent, not sure if I liked the slight change.

"That's where Rose lives. Go and find your Bad Wolf."

I looked at the hologram of Rose. "I won't remember this conversation, though."

"No, you won't," River agreed. "But I can send the TARDIS to London for you."

I nodded. "Alright. I'm ready to forget."

River smiled. "Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

I blinked. Where was I? Ahhh…that's right. Gallifrey…I had just burnt it. But the TARDIS was shaking, and I hadn't flown it anywhere.

I looked down at the console. A sticky not with the words, 'Help London. Get rid of the Autons!' on it was stuck to it.

I picked it up. "London, eh? I can do that." I looked down at my clothes. "First, I think I need a bit of a wardrobe change."

Ninth Doctor POV

Stupid humans and their stupid shops and stupid jobs and stupidness.

"O-Okay! This isn't funny anymore!"

Better go and save her.

I dodged through Autons and grabbed her hand right before the Autons killed her. I looked her in the eye. "Run!"

It wasn't until in the elevator that I had a flash of recognition.

I looked at the girl for more than a second for the first time. Suddenly, I had a millisecond flashback. The girl was standing in the doorway of what seemed to be a dungeon. But the memory faded as soon as it came.

I shook it off. I couldn't have possibly met this girl before...right?

And then, just to be sure, I asked her what her name was. I asked it as an afterthought; right before I went back to destroy the Autons.

"I'm the Doctor, by the way, what's your name?"

"Rose."

"Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!"

Once again, I saw Rose in the dungeon doorway.

"I don't know her!" I muttered, running back into the building.

But that didn't stop me from asking her to travel with me. She denied, so I left. It kinda hurt, but I tried to shrug it off.

It was eventually the thought of Rose standing in the dungeon doorway that brought me back.

"Did I mention that it also travels in time?" I asked.

Rose looked back at Mickey, and then to me.

"Thanks," she told Mickey before kissing his cheek.

"For what?" He asked.

"Exactly."

I smiled as Rose turned back towards me and ran into the TARDIS.

Tenth Doctor POV

I just wanted to see Rose one last time before I regenerated. I didn't mean to actually talk to her, I swear.

But I stumbled a bit, and she turned and saw me.

When we made eye contact, I remembered her standing in the doorway of the dungeon again, but the memory was more vivid this time.

"Rose who?" The vision of Rose asked, "Rose Tyler?"

I blinked, and the memory faded away.

I talked to her a bit, trying to hide my emotions and the pain that was engulfing my body from holding back regeneration.

"What year is this?" I asked, as she was walking away.

She looked back at me, and this time I felt me kissing her.

I blinked again. That couldn't be real. I never told her that I...yeah.

"Blimey, how much've you had?" She asked, smiling a bit.

I shrugged, "Well..."

"January the first, 2005," she answered.

"2005?" I asked. "Tell you what, I bet you're gonna have a really great year." Because 2005 was the year Rose and I first met.

Rose smiled, and hesitated like she almost said something else. But she must have decided against it, because she ran off.

I pulled back the false memory of Rose and I's kiss and started towards the TARDIS.

Eleventh Doctor POV

The Woman Twice Dead. That's what I was calling Clara/Oswin now. I thought I might've heard it somewhere before, but I couldn't quite remember. But I could almost hear Clara/Oswin's voice saying, "Just watch for the Woman Twice Dead."

I figured my mind was playing tricks on me.

I looked at my painting of Clara. Who was she? How could she exist?

Then, I looked down at my monk outfit. Why was I wearing this if I was alone? Why not a bow tie or something cool.

"No, no, don't think like that!" I told myself. "Monks are cool. Focus on Clara or Oswin or whatever she calls herself!"

But I had very nearly given up hope.

Until one of the other monks told me the TARDIS phone was ringing. Well, he didn't say it quite like that, but that was the point.

I answered the phone.

"Ah! Hello!" Clara/Oswin's voice came from the phone.

I smiled a bit. Clara. The Woman Twice Dead.

I had found her.

Clara POV

"I found Gallifrey."

I smiled. If the Doctor had found Gallifrey, I could live without Danny. At least I'd know the Do tor was happy.

I remembered how, so long ago, he had burst out of the TARDIS saying, "Clara! It worked! Gallifrey is safe! We need to find it."

For a split second, I almost asked the Doctor to take me with him. Then I remembered that he thought Danny was still alive, so I bit my lip instead.

You can do this, I told myself. You can get through this.

I thought back to when we had saved Gallifrey. I remembered how happy the Tenth Doctor had been when he saw Rose again. How happy the Eleventh Doctor had been when River came back.

How happy the Doctors had been when they knew they didn't have to destroy their planet.

I used those memories to make myself smile. I smiled until the TARDIS flew away.

But once I got back to my flat, I started crying. And I couldn't stop.

"What's wrong?" The boy Danny had sent back instead of himself came up to me. I hadn't been able to contact his parents yet, and I had barely been able to get his name (Kyle) out of him.

"My friend left."

"The Doctor?" Kyle asked.

I nodded and wiped some of the tears away.

"Where'd he go?"

"Home," I replied. "But he went the long way 'round."

I'm really sorry for not putting this up yesterday. I was in the moddle of writing it, and my stomach started hurting really bad so I just went to sleep.

But anyways. This is the end of this fanfic. Thank you for all the nice reviews, follows, and favorites! If you like the Hobbit, Kiliel, and Whouffaldi, you can check out my Hobbit/Doctor Who fanfic, 'Love is a Promise'. If not, I might be starting a Wholock fanfic soo, but I'm not sure yet.
