The forest was filled with beautiful plants and bright creatures stirring all about. The air was fresh and the sounds of life could be heard everywhere. The Doctor stood in the center of the forest, surrounded by all the wondrous plant and animal life shown before him. Here, there was a sense of being safe. Here, there was no sorrow or torment or hate or fear. Everything was in perfect harmony and balance. Suddenly, in an instance everything goes silent the air grows dense.

A horrible feeling suddenly came over him that seemed to fill the air around him in a great hue of darkness as everything around him went dark. Every niche was filled with darkness.

Then, in it all a voice was heard, "The Darkness is coming…", then there was silence. The Doctor quickly opened his eyes and stood to his feet. He looked all around him and above him and soon realized that he was still in the TARDIS. He had only closed his eyes for a brief second, but didn't fall asleep. But it was all too vivid, so much more than just a dream.

'What did it all mean?' He thought.

Shaking off the unsettling feeling he had hovering over him; he walked over to the console and began to mess about with the instruments. Donna entered the Console room, dressed in a strange outfit she had found in the Wardrobe room far in the back of the TARDIS.

She walked towards the Doctor. Seeing his face, she realized something wasn't right with him. There was something on his mind.

She didn't want to ask and it seemed as if she was being to nosey, so she casually asked, "So Doctor, What are you up to? Where are we going today?"

The Doctor stood there silently, looking down at the console as if in a daze. Then he looked up at Donna, "Oh I'm sorry. My mind was off a million miles away…" he replied.

Donna smiled, "Oh, It's alright Doctor. All asked was where we were going today. What adventure awaits us?" she asked.

"Well, I hadn't really thought about it," he replied, "Where would you like to visit? The 5 suns of Sola Gatair? The Jade Mountains of Jilana Lore Prime? We have a time machine and anywhere we want to go is at our fingertips…"

Suddenly, before Donna could speak, the TARDIS was rocked with one of its normal out of control situations. The question was, 'What was it this time?' they thought.

The TARDIS shook and spun rapidly, throwing the Doctor and Donna all about. Donna landed on the TARDIS couch nearby while the Doctor landed with a thump on the floor. The TARDIS soon calms down.

Standing to his feet, the Doctor moved back over to the console to assess the situation. Donna looked up at the Doctor from the couch, "What happened?" she asked.

Donna began to stand up and noticed something stuck in the cushion of the couch and pulled it free, discovering a picture. Looking at the picture, it's a picture of a young girl with long medium blonde hair. She stared at the picture and realized she recognized the girl.

Donna held up the picture, showing it face first, "Doctor, Who is this girl in the picture?"

"What Picture?" he replied.

"This one…" she replied, handing him the picture.

The Doctor held the picture and looked down at it, "That's Rose. Her name is Rose…" he says.

"This girl," she says, "I know her. We've met…"

The Doctor gazed at Donna with a look of surprise, "No. You must be mistaken. You couldn't have met her…" he says.

"But I have..." she says.

"But you couldn't have…" he says again, "Rose had gotten lost long ago. I lost her, she's gone…"

"Doctor, I met her the night when I first came on board. She was in the crowd on the street. I asked her to give a message for me…"

The Doctor placed the picture in his pocket and placed his hands on the console, "It might have been someone that just looked like her. But right now we can't worry about the past. We have to concentrate on where we're going. For you see, it seems that the TARDIS has decided for us where we will be going this time and we soon shall see what lies outside that door once we land…"

The Doctor looked at Donna. They both stared at one another until suddenly, the Doctor glanced at the console and then back at Donna.

"Well," he says, "It seems we have landed. Shall we see where?"

The two made there way to the doors. The Doctor opened the door and proceeded out, Donna right behind. Stepping out of the TARDIS, the Doctor stopped suddenly. He soon realized he's been here before.

The TARDIS had landed on a beach, not just any beach, but the beach where he last seen Rose. The beach where he thought he would never go again, a beach in a parallel universe, in a place that he thought was closed off forever.

Question was, 'Why did the TARDIS bring them here?' he thought.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, but not just anyone. It was Rose. Rose slowly approached the Doctor and paused before him a moment before walking towards him again. The Doctor stared at her as she stared back.

'How could it be her?' he thought, 'She was in another dimension but right here she was…'

The Doctor continued to look on, "It can't be you…" he says, "It's not possible…"

Though he didn't believe it to be her at first, he didn't care. It was Rose and a smile came across both their faces. "Rose!" he cried. They soon ran towards one another, embracing into a hug. He picked her up and swung her around. Then suddenly, Rose reached up, brought her lips to his and gave him a snog. The Doctor reacted with a look of utter bedazzlement.

Rose smiled, "Anything is possible…"

"Oh yes!" he joyously cried. Rose laughed and they embrace again.

Donna stood back, feeling that there was more here than a joyous reunion. Donna approached.

"Rose..." he says. That's all he can say, for the words had escaped him.

"Doctor…" Rose says, "I've missed you so, but we haven't got time to catch up for there are other matters to attend to…"

"Which is?" the Doctor replied.

"Like the fate of the whole world. For you see it is coming…"

"What?" he replied.

"The Darkness – the Darkness, Doctor and with it comes great evil…" she replied.

Donna approached the Doctor. He looked at Donna and back at Rose. Rose looked over the Doctor's shoulder at Donna.

The Doctor gave a grin, "Rose…" he says, "This is Donna. Donna – Rose…"

"I know. We've met…" Rose says.

The Doctor stared at Rose, "I know, Donna told me, a short while back on the streets. But why didn't you come to me?"

Rose placed a hand on his chest and stared up at him with a look of urgency, "The time wasn't right but now the time is, Doctor. The Earth is in danger but this time unlike in anyway it has ever seen before. The Darkness is coming, Doctor. And it carries with it great evil…"

The Doctor narrowed his eyes and stared down at her, "Tell me what's been happening?"
