(You don't have to read that to understand this) I'm warning all readers right now there are some major, major spoilers in this story. I won't come out and say what they are, but you have been warned. (Although I'll admit, you probably won't notice.) Anyway I hope you enjoy this bit. Reviews are love, as they do tell me how I'm doing, character wise, pacing wise, grammatically wise. Oh look I gave you something to write about in your review ;)
Flicker in the Night
Summary: After moving the void project to Cardiff, Rose and Mickey have finally discovered a way to cross the void. But before they can, Rose finds herself being pulled away from her new universe into her old one. Will she find the Doctor, or will she find more then she bargained for?
Chapter One
It was nearly nine o'clock at the Cardiff Torchwood office. For the most part it was completely abandoned, except for one team of people. Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith had come from London to perfect the veil that had led them to the other universe. According to Mickey the veil needed more power, and the rift in Cardiff was just the place. They and their team had been working on this safe way for nearly three weeks, and exhaustion had finally taken its toll. Rose sat a makeshift desk, resting her head on the cool table top. Her determination, her passion, her hope, had all been put into this.
Suddenly she was stirred awake by none other than Mickey Smith. She smiled sleepily at him, while he grinned madly back.
"Yeah Mickey?" She asked
"Guess what?" He asked. She motioned him to continue, "In twelve hours that veil will be ready, and you can pass through."
"Are you serious?" She asked rising from the table. As excited as she sounded, she was still a bit nervous, and for more than one reason. One of the reasons was the safety and accuracy. Mickey had said he was on some desolate planet before the Doctor came. And perhaps the number one reason was the Doctors new companions. Mickey had told her a little about them and despite the good things, she was more then a bit worried.
When he came back the excitement was bubbling over. The impossible had been done. But she had to admit, she was a bit more then disappointed to learn he was traveling with two new companions. He told her he would be alone. And part of her knew that would never happen. He couldn't be alone. Yet, at the same time another part of her wished he had been.
"Of course!" The two laughed and embraced each other tightly. It had been a long three weeks. "Come on, I'm taking you out for chips. You remember what those things are right Rose?"
"Oh shut it, let's go."
The two, for the first time in three weeks, left the Cardiff building and headed toward to the nearest place that sold chips.
"Oh my wallets in my other coat. I'll be right back." Mickey said walking back towards the building.
Rose shook her head and walked toward the nearest bench. But suddenly the winds began to change. At first a small light began to flicker in the night sky. Then suddenly a brilliant light erupted and larger gust of wind blew through. Rose felt herself being pulled and swept away. Then the light once again showed, followed by a large snapping sound. She fell backwards and in front of a ginger haired woman.
"Are you alright?" The woman asked.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine." Rose said looking from where the light was. Her head felt heavy, and she could have sworn there were no bushes surrounding the Cardiff building.
"What was that?" The woman asked.
"Oh I don't know." Rose replied. The two shrugged it off and continued their separate ways.
