All of that happened a long time ago.
The Doctor and Rose have gone on exciting adventures. And this is their latest one.
"Rose, you've done it. Now stop. Just let go."
"How can I let go of this? I bring life."
"But this is wrong! You can't control life and death!"
"But I can. The sun and the moon, the day and night. But why do they hurt?" She looked at The Doctor with tear in her eyes.
"The power's gonna kill you and it's my fault."
"I can see everything." The Doctor raises his head again. "All that is, all that was, all that ever could be." The Doctor stands up abruptly, looking down at her as if suddenly, he understands.
"That's what I see. All the time. And doesn't it drive you mad?"
"My head..."
"Come here."
"It's killing me."
"I think you need a Doctor." And they step slowly around to face each other. He then gazes into Rose's eyes, and then gently, carefully, leans down and presses his lips against hers.
The Time Vortex flows out of her eyes and into his. They part slowly and they gaze at each other for a few more moments before Rose's eyes flutter closed and she falls into his arms, unconscious. He lays her carefully down on the floor and then stands up straight, facing the TARDIS calmly.
He slowly exhales and the Time Vortex is expelled from his mouth and it streams back through the doors into the TARDIS. The doors close quietly, and the TARDIS looks completely normal once more. The Doctor opens his eyes and smiles softly to himself.
"It's beautiful." The Doctor gaze sadly at her.
He kneels down and leans over Rose, stroking her face and picks her up gently and carry her to The Tardis.
After some time, Rose whom he has lain down on the grilling next to the console, stirs. She awakens, disorientated.
"What happened?"
"Don't you remember?"
"It's like... there was this singing..."
"That's right! I sang a song and the Daleks ran away." The Doctor jokes.
"I was at home... no, I wasn't, I was in the TARDIS, and..."
Unseen by Rose, the Doctor glances down at his hand. The veins shimmer with a golden light for a moment, and then it's gone.
"I can't remember anything else..."
The Doctor looks around at her uneasily. She is shaking her head, completely oblivious, trying to remember. She notices him watching her and he smiles.
"Rose Tyler." He laugh sadly.
"I was gonna take you to so many places. Barcelona, not the city Barcelona, the planet. You'd love it. Fantastic place, they've got dogs with no noses." He laughs at his own joke making Rose giggles.
"Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke, and it's still funny!"
"Then, why can't we go?"
"Maybe you will. And maybe I will. But not like this."
"You're not making sense!"
"I might never make sense again! I might have two heads. Or no head!" He laughs while Rose nods with a bemused smile on her face.
"Imagine me with no head! And don't say that's an improvement." Rose grins, eyes twinkling.
