To Love And To Love Again

To Love And To Love Again.


Rose was hit with every single second of the last fifteen years of the Doctor’s life. Twelve of which had been spent married to River Song. Rose came to realise the Doctor had been able to love again and enough, just as she herself had, after they had been parted from each other.

But before he met River, he met Donna Noble. After he had lost contact with her for the last time on Bad Wolf bay, he had been a mess. Luckily he had not been left to wallow in his heart break for very long.

Seconds after he had said goodbye to her, Donna Noble, dressed in a wedding gown and veil, had been teleported into the TARDIS. She had been literately saturated in little golden particles that were known as Huon particles, now only found inside of the TARDIS.

The Doctor and Donna worked together to stop the Racnoss Empress, a large red and black alien creature resembling a spider. The creature had looked deadly even by Rose’s standards.

It was discovered Lance, the man Donna had been going to marry, he had been working in secret with the Racnoss. He had been feeding Donna the particles though the means of water he would provide her with each day during work.

In the end, the Doctor had drained the London Thames, and had drowned the Empress and her children. It was only Donna who had managed to get though to the Doctor over the anguished wailing cries of the empress, as her children were drowned down in the deep and vast pit.

Rose had felt a sense of dread, as she took in the cold and hard look in the Doctor’s eyes, which looked to be practically black, instead of their usual warm brown colour.

Rose had despaired as she saw the lack of mercy the Doctor was showing. She realised with a sense of horror, that if Donna had not been there, then the Doctor surely would not have made it out in time.

She knew of the Racnoss. She and her team had dealt with the empress in the alternative reality. It was not long after she had married Peter. Rose noted the irony over the fact that she too had drained the river Thames in order to kill the Racnoss and her children.

Rose realised with no small amount of disbelief that she and the Doctor truly did think alike more then she could have ever imagined. It took them being parted for so long for her to discover this.

Rose had watched as the Doctor and Donna had burst out laughing, cheering as they realised he had drained the river Thames. Rose chuckled as well, remembering how her team had acted in a similar fashion.

Peter had been incredulous at her method of getting rid of the Racnoss, after it had refused to leave peacefully, but even he had agreed there had been no other solution.

She watched as the Doctor had left Donna at her home, after she had refused to go travelling with him. Rose had wanted to weep when Donna had asked what her name had been. It was the Doctor’s answer “Her name was Rose” that had brought tears to her eyes. Those four words had been loaded with so much pain.

She agreed whole heartedly when Donna had suggested the Doctor needed to find someone to travel with, as he needed someone to stop him when he couldn’t on his own. It was as if losing her had caused him to slip back into the darkness of his ninth incarnation.
