So basically. Somehow (don't ask me how, maybe I'll figure it out later) Rose accidentally finds her way back to the right universe. As soon as she gets back though, she's kidnapped by aliens and taken to a different planet. She's been locked up for three weeks. The Doctor and Martha Jones have also stumbled onto this planet and taken hostage. Martha is sent to jail, not knowing what they've done with the Doctor. Here she meets Rose Tyler. As you'll read, Rose doesn't reveal everything she knows right away and instead asks the questions. I hope that clears everything up and I hope you enjoy. Reviews are appreciated. :)

I can check off so many things: Cybermen, Daleks, Satan! Hell, even travelling through parallel universes after the doctor – the doctor – declared is sealed forever. Well, the last one may have been a mistake, to be fair, but I'm not complaining. I'm finally in the universe I'm supposed to be in. Finally, my mum and I are where we belong – and then I get kidnapped by aliens. It's never going to change for me is it? My only hope is that for the three weeks I've been here, my ring glowed yesterday and that can only mean one thing: the Doctor is here. (A/N: Keep reading. There's a flashback in this chapter that will make sense of that line) So here I sit locked up, watching batch after batch of prisoners get locked up all around me and I can't do a thing. I stay silent as they lock up a girl next to me.

"Hi," she said.

"Hello."

"You alright?"

"No," I sighed.

"Same here. What are they going to do with us?"

"No one knows."

"It hurts," she moaned, looking at her wrist which was tightly bound.

"You get used to it," I wiggled mine a bit and winced, "sort of."

"That's nice ring," she said with a small smile, "blue's always been my favourite colour."

"Blue? You see blue?"

"Well yeah, don't you?" She giggled.

"Yeah, yeah, I do." I stuttered.

She let it go and we sat in silence, but my mind left me to recall a very old, very important old memory.

Flashback

"I've got a gift for you," the Doctor smiled at me warmly.

"Do you? Well aren't I the special one..." I beamed.

"Rose Tyler, you have no idea."

He put the on ring on my left pinkie.

"This ring," he began, "is very special. Just like you. You see that gem in the middle – the blue one? It's part of the TARDIS. Only beings who have travelled in the TARDIS will see its true blue colour. For anyone else, it will appear to be a diamond."

I could only gasp at its beauty.

"And not only that, when the TARDIS changes locations, it will light up. Just like the light on the top of the TARDIS does, except, you know, blue light, because it's blue.

I giggled at his attempt to explain the obvious.

I took off the ring and put it in my pocket, "Good to know."

"No, Rose, you must wear it or it won't work."

I sighed, pulling it out and putting it on.

"It has lots of power, Rose," he became very serious. He looked deep into my eyes with no smile, "I've never done this before, having part of the TARDIS separate from the rest. I'm not completely sure what it can do, but it will help me monitor where you are, when you are."

"So basically, it's like a GPS. You'll be tracking me?" I smirked.

"Basically, yeah. But a lot more than that. Who knows?" He started up the ship, "I sure as hell don't."

No one said a word as it got later and soon, everyone was asleep. Though, I just couldn't stop thinking about what the Doctor said all that time ago. What could the ring do? Could I use it like the sonic screwdriver and unlock the chains that bound my left wrist. I took off the ring and put it to the lock. Nothing. Squat.

"No, Rose, you must wear it or it won't work."

I paused, then put it on my right pinkie and pressed it up against the lock. It cracked! It worked! I'm free! I got up slowly and snuck quietly to the metal fence that kept us all in. I would come back for these people later, when I'd found the Doctor. But wait, that girl. I didn't even know her name, but she knew the Doctor, or, at the very least, has travelled in the TARDIS. I have to bring her with me.

"Wake up," I shook her lightly.

"What?" She asked groggily.

I pressed the ring against the lock, which was back to where it belonged; on my left hand, and the lock opened, "Get up, we're leaving."

She was smart not to ask questions, she simply complied and we snuck out quietly.

We walked down the hallways; myself leading, the girl following. The hallway walls were stone and gloomy. Sticks of fire lite up the corridors. For a castle in the future, it looked like we were in the 17th century. I still didn't know where – or when – we were and there was no sign of the Doctor, but my ring hasn't glowed again since last night, so the TARDIS is still on this planet and so is the Doctor.

"What's your name?" I asked as we kept walking, not looking at each other, only around us.

"Martha Jones. You?"

Had the Doctor told this Martha about me? Would she know my name? Would that matter because she doesn't know what I know? Are real names necessary?

"Rae. My name is Rae. Rae... Smith." I smiled to myself, remembering all the times the Doctor had claimed his name to be John Smith. And 'Rae' wasn't completely a lie, it is my middle name.

"Nice to meet you, Rae."

"Nice to meet you, Martha Jones."
