STOOD BESIDE THE doctor's chair by the console of the t.a.r.d.i.s, callisto listened to rose's request to see her dad while he was still alive. she assumed it was a bad idea but, then again, before meeting the doctor, she had never known much of time travel let alone had she been a part of it. while rose was explaining, the doctor's face was hard to read for a reaction.
"—that's what mum always says. so i was thinking, could we? could we go and see my dad... when he was still alive?" rose asked.
"where's this come from all of a sudden?" the doctor questioned.
"alright then, if we can't, if it's against the laws of time or something then we won't, just leave it." she said, her voice sounding sadder than when she originally began talking.
"no, i can do anything." the doctor remarked. "i'm just more worried about you."
"i wanna see him." rose stated.
"your wish is my command." the doctor started, getting up. "but be careful what you wish for." he pulled a lever ob the console and its wheezing groan started again, alerting them that they were travelling.

after having landed in the past, rose, the doctor and callisto went to the wedding of peter and jackie. callisto had shifted her appearance so she was more human and less green. many people were gathered in the room to witness the ceremony, jackie and pete holding hands as they waited to be finished with the ceremony.
"i, peter alan tyler, take you, jaqueline andrea suzette prentice..."
"i, peter alan tyler, take you, jaqueline susan- suzette... anita..." pete trailed off.
"oh, just carry on. it was good enough for lady di." jackie said and the doctor grinned in amusement.
"i thought he'd be taller." rose mused and the two aliens looked to her.
"... to be my lawful wedded wife, to love and behold, to death us do part..."
rose seemed to space out for a moment, rethinking what her mum had told her about her dad being alone when he died. after the wedding, the trio went back to the t.a.r.d.i.s to pick their next destination, or even back home for rose depending on her feelings. though, the london girl had another idea.
she told the doctor about her mum's words, "i want to be that someone, so he doesn't die alone."
"november the 7th?" the doctor questioned.
"1987." rose confirmed and the doctor turned wheels and pressed buttons on the console, sending them to the past when pete was going to die. the wheezing stopped and they stepped outside of the ship. rose looked around, "it's so weird. the day my father died... thought it'd be all sort of grim and stormy, it's just an ordinary day."
