So, I had this idea for a Doctor Who story where Rose comes back. And stays. This is set in between Blink and Utopia. The next chapter is Utopia for the Doctor, but for Rose it's still pretty much the same. I LOVE Doctor Who and Rose is probably my favorite companion. So, here is the first chapter. It's pretty short, but the next chapter will be longer. Hope you enjoy!
The Dimension Cannon
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Jackie asked as she walked in the house, to see Rose franticly changing the channel on the tv. "I- I don't… I don't really know. Oh come on!" She exclaimed. Jackie sat down next to Rose, but as soon as she sat down, Rose got up and whacked the television. "Sweetheart!" Jackie exclaimed. "You're gonna break the telly!" "I don't care about the stupid telly. I care about-" She cut herself off staring at the tv. "See! There it is!" Jackie quickly looked at the television, seeing a commercial playing. "What?" Rose sighed. She sat back down. "Nothing." She was sure that she had seen an image of the doctor, for two seconds, mouthing one word. 'Rose.'
"Arggg!" the Doctor exclaimed, running his fingers through his hair. "What is it?" Martha asked, as the doctor whacked the control panel. "I'm trying to get a signal through." He said pressing a couple of buttons. "To who?" Martha asked tentatively. "Rose."
Martha sighed. Rose, Rose Rose. That's all she heard. And yet she still knew nothing about how he had "lost" her. She looked around her room. "Why can't he think about me the way he thinks about Rose? Is he so in love with her he never even thinks about me?" Martha sighed again and walked out of her room. As she walked down the hallway she noticed a door. "That's weird." She thought. "There's never been a door there before." She looked around to make sure the Doctor wasn't in sight, and walked in.
"Rose!" Rose jumped. Mickey was looking at her. They were sitting in a booth at a Café, and although Rose was impervious to it, Mickey was talking to her. "Sorry. Just… drifted." Mickey rolled his eyes. "You're always doing that these days. Ever since Tuesday." Rose looked down at her chips. "What happened?" Rose sighed. "I thought… I thought I saw- On the telly. Just, all of a sudden. No warning. It just happened." Rose didn't look up. "If, you know, you ever feel like telling me, just call me, okay?" Mickey said sarcastically. Rose smiled. Looking up, she said, "I think I saw Him."
Martha looked around. It was a simple room. Bed, dresser, night table, bathroom, bookcase. She noticed everything (with a few exceptions) was dusty. There was a mark on the bed, as if someone had sat there, and there was a photo album on the night table which looked like it had been flipped through at least once a week. She walked over and sat down on the bed and picked up the photo album. 'Memories' it said on the front. She opened it and saw:
Presented To: Rose
Given By: The Doctor
Presented On: ?
Martha sighed as she flipped through the pages. There were a couple of photos of a man with big ears and a big nose. "Who's that?' She wondered. Then there was a picture of The Doctor and a pretty woman with unnatural blonde hair and brown eyes. She assumed this woman was Rose. He was wearing a red paper hat and she was wearing a pink one. They both were laughing. It looked like they didn't know there was a photo being taken. The next one had them both in it, but this time there was an older brown-haired woman with them. The next pictures looked like they were taken within seconds of each other. The first, the Doctor and Rose laughing very hard, although Rose was still enough to take a picture. The next was of a dark-skinned man looking upset and angry. Martha snorted. He looked funny. The next one was where Martha started to laugh. It was both of them, seemingly on a motorcycle, Rose had pink sunglasses with a matching pink headband, and the Doctor was wearing a white helmet with sunglasses and a cheeky grin. She was about to flip to the next page when she heard, "Martha? Where are you?" Martha hurriedly put the album down and made for the door, but as she made for the handle, it started to turn.
"What do you mean 'Him'?" Asked Mickey, as they walked down the street towards the house. "I mean Him. The Doctor. D-O-C-T-" "Yeah, I know how to spell, thanks." Rose rolled her eyes. "But I thought the doors were closed. I thought there was no way to get back." "I thought that too." "Well, then..." Rose stopped and looked at him. "Well what?" She asked, as if accusing him of something. "Well maybe you saw what you wanted to see. Not what was real." "Excuse me, I know the Doctor when I see him." "Alright, alright. Wait a second. This is 67th; we passed 65th two blocks back. Where are we going?" Rose looked at him. "Where do you think?" Mickey caught on. "Right. Torchwood."
Martha saw the handle turn and panicked. She ran for the bathroom. She only got there just in time to shut the door so she could still see. The Doctor popped his head in. "Martha…?" He trailed off as he saw the photo album lying on the nightstand. "Hmm. Must have done that last time." He said to himself. He picked up the album. He sighed as he looked through it. "Oh Rose." He said quietly. He was quiet for a moment and then he chuckled. I remember that Christmas. And Sarah Jane!" He said, delighted. "Oh." His face fell. "First day in the Parallel Universe. Cybers." Then he laughed a little. "30 minutes he held that button. Only needed to hold it for 1." He smiled. "And 1953!" He exclaimed. "Oh, that darn Wire." He looked through it a little more, occasionally making comments or laughing to himself. When he got to the end he put it down and looked around the room. Martha ducked her head back so he wouldn't see her. He sighed heavily as he got up. "Oh Rose." He said, "Why'd you have to reach for that lever?" And with that he walked out.
"Ma'am." A man said as Rose passed by. "No salutes!" She said as she passed by the man. She walked up to her office with Mickey. "You never really tell me, what do you do here?" "Oh, just catch monsters." "No, I mean what do you do here?" He said, pointing to the plaque on her desk that said "Rose Tyler, Head of Torchwood" Rose looked up and saw where he was pointing. "Oh." She said, looking down, blushing. "That. Yeah. After Dad created Torchwood, he made this guy, Paul Santiago, head. But then he died after a nasty incident with a Sontaran and Dad wanted me head. He made sure everyone was okay with it, and here we are." "Huh. No wonder there's been less deaths." Rose grinned. Then suddenly, the phone rang. "Must be 'Liz." Mickey looked at her, questionably. "My… Secretary. Puts the calls through." She blushed as she put the phone on speakerphone. "Yeah, 'Liz?" There was no reply. "Liz?" Rose asked. There was some static, and then they heard a familiar voice say, "Rose."
Martha stepped out of the bathroom, and looked around gloomily. "What did he mean, 'reach for the lever'?" She sat down on the bed for a moment, and then got up suddenly. She hurried out of the room. When she reached the control room, the Doctor was standing there. He looked up when she came in. "Oh! I was looking for you! I thought…" He faltered when he saw her expression. "What's wrong?" "I want to know." "Okay." He paused. "Know what?" "What happened. With Rose. Where'd she go? What happened?" The Doctor's expression changed. He looked sad and regretful. "It's not important." "It is to me! I want to know. Tell me." The Doctor sighed. "Alright."
Rose ran down the stairs quickly, Mickey right behind her. "Liz!" "Yeah, Rose?" "That call…" Rose panted. "Where did it come from?" "What call?" Liz looked bewildered. "There weren't any call." "But…." Rose trailed off looking confused. She shook her head. "Okay… Thanks Liz." She walked dejectedly up the stairs to her office. She sat down and so did Mickey. "It… It did sound like him." Rose looked at him. "Yeah… Yeah it did, didn't it? There's… There's something I've been working on, with a couple of people. Mum and Dad don't even know about it, but I think you should know." Mickey looked confused. "What?" "Come with me." Rose said. She walked out and went to the elevator. They walked in and she pressed a button that said 'BSM'. "That's weird." Mickey said, confused. "I've never noticed that button before." Rose looked at him. "Oh. Right. A perception filter." "Yeah." The elevator went down and they went in silence. When the doors opened Mickey saw a big room. There were two metal pillars with a ton of wires attached. Mickey noticed there was a sheet of glass in between the Pillars and where they were. The more he looked around the weirder the room became. There were several control panels near where they were standing, and the glass looked weirdly invincible even though it couldn't be more than an inch thick. "What is this?" Mickey asked. "A dimension cannon."
Martha looked shocked. The Doctor had told her the whole story. Well, almost the entire story. He had left out the entire part about Dårlig Ulv Stranden. He didn't want her to know that bit. The three simple words Rose had said to him, and he wanted so bad to return them. He couldn't have Martha know about that. Never. "So… It's impossible to get her back?" Martha asked. A million emotions were going through her head. She felt sorry for the doctor. That photo album had clearly explained how they felt about each other. She felt a little bit jealous of Rose, after all the Doctor did love her. She would have loved to be in that situation. She also felt angry at the universe for splitting them up after all the good times they had together. "Yes. I'm never going to see her again." Martha looked up. He was lost in thought. She was so sad. Part of her wished she had never asked.
"A dimension cannon, Rose? How could you not tell me about this?" Mickey asked her, exasperatedly. "Only four people in the whole of Torchwood know about this! I'm one of them! I'm going to get in huge trouble just for telling you about this!" Mickey sighed. "Yeah." Rose walked over to him. "And… If I can get this working… I can find the Doctor. And… if you want… You can go back too." Mickey looked at her. "I know you want the doctor back, but this is dangerous Rose. You could get… I don't know, killed!" Rose looked at him seriously. "Yeah, I could. But that's a risk I'm willing to take."
So there you go. The next chapter should be up in a couple of days, and all the Doctor's parts will be pretty much sticking to the script in Utopia. This kind of shows how much Rose loves the Doctor, and how far she would be willing to go to get back to him. Please Review!
