It had taken forever and a day. She had searching for so long, for something that looked so harmless, so inconspicuous and unremarkable. But there it was, shimmering and flickering, light refracted from something on the other side.

She should have been so happy and excited. Here it was. Finally, after all this time. What was stopping her? If this had been 3 years ago, even 1 year ago, she would have been through without a second thought.

But there was so much to consider now. She wasn't the naïve 19 year old she had been then. After all the pain of their separation, she had finally grown up. She knew now that even if she went back, leaving behind everything she had formed here, he would leave when she got older, and then where would she be?

In a world where she no longer belonged, alone. And, yet…

She couldn't drag herself away. Her head, and even a little of her heart, told her to ignore this faint ripple by an insignificant road somewhere in Gloucestershire, that it would cause nothing but trouble.

But there was still a large part of her who longer to see him again. And she expected there always would be. No one could travel so far for so long, and not love him.

But to go back would undo everything she had worked so hard for these past 4 years.

Back and forth. Back and forth.

She didn't know how long she was stood there for, unable to take her eyes away, afraid it would disappear before she was ready, the argument going around in circles in her mind.

In the end, it wasn't her choice. Fate, it seemed, had gotten fed up with her trying to make up her mind, and stepped in. She was pulled through, barely even having time to make a surprised noise.

And then, there she was. It looked no different, smelt the same. But it no longer felt like home. It was no longer the familiarity she relied on for comfort.

She turned, but all there was behind her was empty wasteland. No way home.

Letting out a little sigh of frustration, she glanced around. 21st Century. Definitely. But when? And where?

Sighing again, she spun in a circle. West. West it was then. And she took a step forward. And that was all, before she heard the sound of a car coming towards her. She waited, as the black SUV came closer, and stopped.

The doors opened, and she was met by one of the people she had never expected to see again in her life.

'Jack'. The man had frozen, his mouth open, expression shocked, disbelieving.

'How?' She shrugged, and attempted a smile.

'Gap in space and time?' No there was no answering smile, and the woman who had arrived with Jack looked concerned.

'Jack? What's going on? Who is she?' Jack opened his mouth a few times before he found his voice again.

'Rose.'
