Days like these, she’s glad she didn’t get the job at Henrik’s. Her mum called her earlier about something strange-a bomb that had gone off in the basement? Set by a man in a leather jacket, a man the police’ve not been able to find? Something like that. No one’d be shopping there anytime soon.

She might not like working

Thank you! I found the bit about Susan on her wiki page: On her home planet of Gallifrey, the future "Susan Foreman" was born with another name, later revealed to be Arkytior, which meant "rose" in High Gallifreyan. It's from the novels and Doctor Who magazine, apparently, so no idea how canon it is, but I was so surprised by it that I had to incorporate it. I kind of wonder if it was intentional on RTD's part when he decided to name Rose. Probably not, but I can dream, LOL.

I think a lot of Doctor Who hinges on those missed connections--if Donna turned left, she'd have never been there to save the Doctor. I've seen countless fics wondering about if Eleven had landed in Rory's garden instead of Amy's. Here, I just played a bit with if Rose hadn't been working at Henrik's, and just as you said, she might get to meet Nine one day after all, perhaps under different circumstances. ;) I've done two AUs (this one and another I'm working on where Ten is an entirely human astrophysics student that Jack and Donna set up on a date with Rose), but no matter which Doctor I use, I always try to come back to their first dates: chips and Charles Dickens. ;)
