She looked nothing like Rose or Emma at first, and then he saw some of the similarities. She was more alike than he had realized. She staggered back a step, and gold light escaped her mouth. She sighed and beckoned him.
"Jack?"
"Emma, Rose?"
"I need your help."
"With what?"
"I need to get onto the Tardis, and I need the Doctor to not be there."
"You want to break into the Tardis, the Tardis?"
"I'm not breaking in, she knows I'm coming. I could take my own manipulator, but I kinda left it in my room." Jack sighed. He held out his arm. She typed in the code and he took her.
The Tardis was empty. She sighed and straightened her back. She went to the wardrobe to change first. She came back, wearing a curious locket. She undid the locket and said something in a language the Tardis didn't translate. Complex machines appeared and Rose worked them expertly. She pressed her locket into a hollow and then took a deep breath. She turned to Jack.
"I'm sorry Jack, so sorry, but I can't let you remember my face, not this face." He stared at her, not comprehending. "I can't risk you interfering, because I'm not human anymore Jack, and he can't know or he will suffer."
"Rose, what are you..." Jack stiffened as he felt her disable his manipulator, take him back and then she kissed his cheek, before knocking him unconscious and pouring water down his throat. He heard Gwen yelling and then he blacked out. Gwen stopped short, the woman was gone, but Jack was laid out on the floor, completely asleep. Emma fitted the chameleon arc for human and then she screamed as her body was forced to change, her brain condensing, respiratory bypass and extra heart disappearing. Her time sense, telepathy and bad wolf were all hidden away from her. It changed her memories but left her with enough to remember the necklace and to get herself home and hide her sonic pen and manipulator and some personal effects. The process was complete.
She took the necklace and clasped it. She took herself back to her apartment. Hid her stuff in a safe with the combination BAD WOLF and then she Retconned herself.She woke up.
'Who am I......Oswin, I'm Oswin, Oswin Rose James....from London. I'm 24...I'm a teacher at a primary school. Yes that was right, perfectly right'
Oswin was up early for school. It was her first day. All the children were lovely, and she did quite well. Oswin, or Miss Smith was very patient, kind and generous as well as brilliant. She was a sweet girl, but she wasn't interested in anyone. She did her work, shopped, went home and read. She was pretty and much too brilliant to be a teacher, but she loved it. She didn't draw attention, didn't want it. She simply liked kids, liked teaching them.
The Doctor and Donna returned to a near exhausted Tardis. Neither had any clue what had happened. They stopped in Cardiff for fuel and then Wilfred called.
"Doctor, Donna, you should come back." They did and then the Doctor left for a bit to see the Ood. The things they showed him, their bad dreams horrified him. The Master, he was back.
The Ood asked him other things, things about a lonely woman, a woman in a cage. The Doctor explained the Master's wife, and then he raced back, trying to track down the Master. It was him and Wilfred who discovered the Master.
The Doctor was chasing the mad, dangerous Time Lord, but he didn't catch him. No instead he was knocked out as unknown people took the Master away. He woke up, but the Master was gone.
'And so it came to pass that the players took their final places. Making ready the events that were to come. A madman sat in his empire of dust and ashes. Little knowing of the glory he would achieve. While his savior looked upon the wilderness in the hope of changing his inevitable fate. Far away, the idiots and fools dreamt of a shining new future. A future now doomed to never happen. As Earth rolled onwards into night the people of that world did sleep. And shiver. Somehow knowing the dawn would bring only one thing. The Final Day.'
