She

[preserved_ginger]

Title: She
Rating: PG-13
Setting: The Fires of Pompeii
Character(s): Ten. Rose (off-camera)
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Two lines of dialogue from The Fires of Pompeii.
A/N: 100 words in MS-Word. Unbeta-ed, so if it's lousy blame me ;)
Summary: He doesn't dare hope.

Doctor - she is returning.

He doesn't dare hope that Lucius could be referring to Rose. He's surprised that no-one has picked up on that name yet – he must be broadcasting it less than usual, which is a surprise given that she so rarely leaves his thoughts.

There's no way it can be Rose. There's no way back from where she is, not without the deaths of trillions. He knows this, but the knowledge doesn't make the pain any less bitter.

So since it isn't Rose, can't ever be Rose, then who in Chaos' name is it?

She? Who’s she?

It's okay, Doctor. You keep working the healthy denial; it'll make it all the more excellent when you do see her again. (I hope? ;_; )

I haven't been following spoilers for this season so I haven't a clue. But he had better be allowed to see her, if only to sort their unfinished business.
