[THE TENTH DOCTOR]

[[simply reposting to continue old tread]]

When The Doctor said farewell to Wilf after dropping Donna off for the last time it had been storming. The second he stepped back into his TARDIS he made a silent vow to never bring anyone else with him. His companions ... as brilliant and wonderful as they were ... had a tendency to break his heart into a million pieces. That night when from moments of glory to soul shattering. Then it went straight to panic mode meltdown. Lightening had literally struck sending the TARDIS spinning out of control, leavings its pilot white knuckled as he hung on to the control panel for dear life.

“Oi now! None of this! It’s not the first time.” he shouted as he quickly worked the controls only to be reward with what could only be taken as an unsatisfied grunt from his ship. He felt himself slide as She shifted slightly, her alarms ringing even louder than before. Then all suddenly went quiet as he felt the TARDIS land with a thunk ... a very soggy thunk. A serious look crossed the usually cheerful face of the Tenth Doctor as he fidgeted with the controls. “Come on, old girl, what was that for?” he muttered to the TARDIS.

Frustrated when he didn’t get the results he wanted he finally allowed the curiosity of wondering just where she landed him at. “Ugh” the grumble left him as he stepped in water and sand as it seeped in from the outside, filling his shoes. “What?” he question to no one but himself as he flung open to the door to reveal a stretch of beach that went on for miles. Peeking his head out he looked around at his surroundings. A sign was perched just outside the door and to his left, wooden and handed painted with the words “Welcome to Weeping Island”.

Looking at it sceptically he turned away from the beach to head back to the control station, pausing only to take off his now soggy shoes and plopping them down over the ramp railing. Padding his way back he grabbed the screen trying to figure out just where he was at when everything dimmed and went dark. “What?!” came the shout as he hastened around the control panel to bring back up the now hibernating TARDIS.

[ROSE TYLER]

it had been a little while since she had found herself here, she thought it might have been a few weeks, or even a month but it definitely felt longer to her. she had met some people here that she had never thought that she would meet, like gabriel. really, who would have thought that she would meet an arch-angel, and of course there was the doctor, not the doctor that she had left, but the doctor she had seen regenerate in front of her. now that one had been a shock to her. she had been happy to see him, but it had been hard to not tell him about things that had happened, particularly when it came to his regeneration and the fact that he really should have told her that it could happen. perhaps then she would have been less surprised by it all.

brushing a stray lock of hair out of her eyes, she sighed softly and headed back to the shoreline, the first place she had found herself. being here was frustrating for her, she needed to know what was going on back in pete’s world, if her mum was okay and if mickey was looking after her like she really hoped he was right now because she was pretty certain that her mum would be worrying about her and would pretty much kill her when she got back there again, and would possibly kill the doctor if he was the one that got her back again, she’d probably think that he was the one that took her away again in the first place.

grinning slightly to herself, she stopped and closed her eyes, feeling the wind blowing her hair around. there was something comforting about the feeling of the wind, and that was definitely something that she needed right now. hearing a few rather familiar sounds, she opened her eyes the tiniest of bits, but when she didn’t see anything familiar, she closed them again. it wasn’t until she heard a definitely familiar voice shouting out what that she opened her eyes fully and she saw a figure a bit down the shoreline. walking a bit closer, her eyes widened slightly ”doctor...” she said softly to herself, it was him, the one that she had left, and the one she had foolishly fallen in love with. standing a few metres away from him, she just stared at him, waiting to see if he would notice her or even care that she was there.

The TARDIS would work for him right? Of course ... not. She just sputtered and sent off puffs of steam at him before going back into hibernation mode. Leaving Ten to find for himself as he wiggled and jiggled the various nobs and switches on the console. "Oy!" he shouted at it before collapsing in the captain's chair, using his bare feet to make it sway around a bit by pushing against the hunk of metal and glass inches away from him. He was stranded on an island with the possibility of cannibalistic neighbors. Smart ones at that. Well maybe not so cannibalistic ... or smart. He was just going to have to lock the old girl up and explore right? Yes, but after getting a new pair of shoes. Hoping out of his chair he started to do just that when a figure shadowed the doorway and an all too familiar voice called out at him.

”Doctor...”

Rose. It couldn't be. Naw, it couldn't be he just left her with Meta-Crisis on Pete's world. She couldn't be here. His ears were deceiving him, that's all. However as much as he tried to convince himself that it was just his imagination, he found himself looking around toward the open TARDIS door. Sure enough there she was. Rose Tyler. His Rose. He didn't understand it and at that moment it didn't matter how they got here. He just didn't question it as he ran barefooted down the ramp and grabbed her up in his arms for a tight hug. Nothing and no one ... not a single dalek or cyberman or void could stop him from hugging her to him.

Pulling back from her, he looked her over before shaking his head "What are you doing here? How are you here?" he questioned her in the quick pace always did. "Oh what does it matter?" he retracted the question just as quickly as he went back to hugging her to him. Now this strange island had his attention and the giddy school boy in him couldn't wait to see what else it had in store for him.

[ROSE TYLER]

To say that she was surprised to see the Doctor here would be an understatement, but it was definitely a good surprise, that meant that there was three of then around now which albeit slightly confusing should mean that it would be easier for them all to figure out a way to get away from here. Of course, that thought was far away from her thoughts right now, as much as she wanted to make sure that her family was okay, she would rather be here with him even if it was only for a short while, she had missed him so much even though it really hadn't been all that long since she had seen him. She really should have believed Gabriel when he told her that she would see him again, she just hadn't thought that it would be possible, she really needed to remember that the impossible was possible sometimes.

Waiting for him to turn around, a small smile lurked on her features as she watched him closely, he didn't seem to have changed from the man that she remembered, but that didn't mean that he hasn't, she just hoped he would be happy to see her. Biting her bottom lip gently when he looked at her, when he started to run to her, a happy smile appeared on her features as she moved closer to him, throwing her arms around him, she knew that she had missed him, but feeling him hugging her and being close to him again reminded her of just how much she did miss him.

When he pulled back slightly, she tilted her head to the side looking at him close up, hearing his words, she laughed softly "i just work up to find myself here." she said shrugging her shoulders slightly with a grin. When he hugged her again, she sighed happily "I've missed you." she adde, feeling the need to tell him that. Perhaps being stuck on this island wouldn't be that bad now.
