A/N
It starts out a bit angsty, but it's a happy story! Honest! This takes place during 'Doomsday." I don't own Doctor Who
The Doctor tapped something into the computer, and the computer reported,
"Levers online." and The Doctor grinned. Rose noticed and grinned back at him.
"That's more like it, bit of a smile! The old team...!" She said, as The Doctor picked up one of the magna clamp.
"Hope and Glory, Mutt and Jeff, Shiver and Shake!" He responded, not able to help his grin.
"Which one's Shiver?" Rose asked.
"Oh, I'm Shake!" He told her with a smile. He walked over to her and handed her a magna clamp and they both attached them to the wall behind the levers. The Doctor looked over at Rose and told her, "Press the red button." She did so, firmly attaching the clamp to the wall. "When it starts, just hold on tight." He told her. "Shouldn't be too bad for us, but the Daleks and the Cybermen are steeped in Void stuff. You ready?" He asked her. Rose nodded, and they both went to their respective levers.
"So are they." Rose said, as she looked out the window and saw the incoming Daleks.
"Let's do it!" The Doctor said, and they both struggled to push their levers upwards. When they had done so, they both ran to take hold of the clamps.
"Online." The computer reported and almost immediately the room was filled with a strong wind, pulling The Doctor and Rose back towards the Void, but they held on to their clamps. But the Daleks and Cybermen weren't so lucky. They were pulled into the room, and towards the wall. Towards the Void.
"The breach is open! Into the Void! Ha!" The Doctor cried, watching with glee as all the Daleks and Cybermen from all over the world were sucked past them, into the Void. Rose smiled back at him. But then it happened. One of the Daleks flying past them slammed into the lever on Rose's side, and pushed it back into the 'off' position. The suction immediately eased up, and the speed that the Daleks were flying by noticeably slowed. Rose reached for the lever, trying to pull it up, but was just out of her reach if she continued to hold onto the clamp. The Doctor watched with horror, as she was forced to let go of the clamp to reach the lever. Rose struggled to push it back.
"I've got to get it upright!" she called to him. Both of The Doctor's hearts were in his throat as he watched, helplessly, as Rose managed to get the computer back into the 'on' position.
"Online and locked." The computer reported, and once again to force by which they were pulled backwards increased. But now, all Rose had to hold onto was the lever.
"ROSE! Hold on!" The Doctor cried in desperation. But there was nothing he could do. But the force was just too strong. It pulled at her, making her lose her grip. "HOLD ON!" he cried again, willing her to hang in there for just a few moments longer. But it was no use. The Doctor watched with horror as Rose lost her grip on the lever and began to fly back towards the Void.
"ROOOSE!" He cried, but there was nothing he could do. Rose screamed as she was pulled backwards towards the Void, twisting The Doctor's hearts. This couldn't be happening! He couldn't lose her! He would be lost without her, his world shattered. But there was nothing he could do, but watch helplessly as Rose, his brilliant wonderful Rose, flew away from him. But then, the suction decreased and ceased. The breach had closed. As the Doctor sagged to the floor, there was a 'Thud!' followed by an
"Ooph!" The Doctor raised his eyes, hardly daring to hope, but it was. There, sliding to the ground was Rose from where she had slammed into the thankfully solid wall. The Doctor ran to her and helped her to her feet.
"You alright?" He asked concerned. She was bent over, trying to catch her breath.
"Yeah." She gasped. "I'm fine. Just got the wind knocked out of me." She assured him, slowly straightening up. When she had caught her breath, she looked up at The Doctor and smiled, her tongue poking out between her teeth. The Doctor grinned that boyish grin of his back at her, and then they were in each other's arms in an enormous hug. The Doctor held on to her especially tightly. He had almost lost her.
"You" he told her, tipping her chin up, "Are the most jeopardy-friendly person I've ever met! And I've met a lot of people!"
"Am not!" Rose protested, even though she couldn't help but grin at him.
"I mean it!" The Doctor insisted, "Let's see…" he started, drawing in a deep breath You were trapped in a basement with Autons, about to get fried on a space station with sabotaged heat shields, trapped by Gelth in corpses, almost killed by Slitheen, trapped with a Dalek, almost killed by the Jagrofess and Reapers, almost turned into a gas mask zombie, Daleks again, almost killed by the Sycorax, possessed by Cassandra, almost eaten by a werewolf, almost killed by the Krillitanes, almost turned into parts for a space station run by clock-work men, Cybermen, fed on by The Wire, trapped on an impossible planet and almost sucked into a Black Hole, almost turned permanently into a drawing and finally Daleks and Cybermen, and you just almost fell into the Void! Did I miss anything?" He asked.
"Hanging from a blimp thousands of feet above the ground, in the middle of the London Blitz with the Union Jack plastered across my chest?" Rose suggested with a cheeky grin.
"I don't think I've ever met anyone with such a knack for getting into trouble in my entire years!" The Doctor insisted, but Rose just continued to grin at him. Finally, the corners of his mouth tugged upwards.
"And I've loved every minute of it." Rose told him. "And nothing is going to separate us. I promised you forever, and I meant it." The Doctor grinned at her, and she smiled back. Then he held out his hand, which she took immediately, and hand-in-hand, and together, they left Canary Wharf and walked back to the TARDIS.
