This is my first fanfiction. I had never really thought about writing to much, but I always wanted to see 11 see Rose. But I never read a story that was like what I thought would happen if the Doctor saw Rose again. So I decided to write this. I would like to thank my friend bellalove16 for helping me write this story, and putting up with my crazy. I would also like to thank WillaJamenson. You helped me to get the courage to finally post this story. Please Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I unfortunatly do not own Doctor Who.

"And that's when he realized that it was just a football!" the Doctor said laughing. He was leaning against the console of the Tardis taking a well deserved holiday with his wife and two best friends. It was Amy and Rory's five year anniversary, and the Doctor was taking them to the moon of Corsella to see the Lights of Mormande. A beautiful display that the Corsella's observed every year to start the spring season.

The friends were still laughing when suddenly instead of the usual noise the of whowhowho and slight bumping, the Tardis started grinding, thundering, and shaking about. River and the Doctor tried to pull the Tardis back into control, while Amy and Rory hung on to the railing for dear life. When the Tardis finally came to a landing, which was not very soft, they were all on the floor moaning.

"Is everyone all right?" the Doctor asked.

"I will be sore for a week, but I'm alright," Amy said. Everyone else mumbled their agreement while dusting themselves off.

"What on earth did you do?" River said, accusing the Doctor of the extra bumpy landing.

"I didn't do anything!" the Doctor exclaimed innocently.

"Then what happened?" Rory asked impatiently. The Doctor and River then started looking around for the problem.

A moment later the Doctor exclaimed, "Oh, here's the problem. We seem to have busted a corbanmine thruster."

"Can you fix it?" Amy asked anxiously.

"The Tardis will be able to correct it herself, but it will take a couple of days." the Doctor replied. "Poor old girl isn't as young as she used to be." he said while lovingly patting her.

"Well there goes our vacation." Rory then complained.

"We might still be able to have some fun." Amy said. "Doctor where are we?" Opening his mouth the Doctor quickly shut it again having no idea where they were.

Meanwhile River was examining the screen above the Tardis console, when she replied, "It looks like we're in London actually."

"London! How did we end up in London. We should have been halfway across the galaxy by now." the Doctor said dubiously.

"If you don't believe me then come look yourself." River said tartly. The Doctor walked up to the monitor, but couldn't believe his eyes. They were indeed in London, just not the London they were familiar with.

"How about we stay in here until the Tardis repairs herself. Go take a dip in the pool, read in the library, dig in the wardrobe." The Doctor rambled on hastily while walking to the back of the Tardis.

"But I want to go outside, and it is my anniversary trip." Amy whined, while stomping her foot.

"And I have never gotten to spend much time in London." River said agreeing. "Right now seems like as good as time as any."

"It could be a lot of fun. We can go see the sights and go to a fancy restaurant." Rory said agreeing.

"But the inside of the Tardis is fun to." The Doctor argued gesturing to the inside of the Tardis.

"It is not like you to not go running into every situation head first." Amy stated giving the Doctor a questioning look. "What are you hiding?"

"Hiding, I'm not hiding anything." the Doctor said defensively.

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."

Meanwhile River was examining the Tardis screen when suddenly she said, "Sweetie when you two are done arguing like children, you might want to come and see this."

The Doctor looked at the screen and stated," No it can't be that's impossible." then against his own advice he ran out of the Tardis. Everyone else looked at the screen and could not believe their eyes. Outside was an entire army of cyber men chasing a crowd of people shouting "ASSSIMULATE".

They quickly followed him outside, where he was vainly trying to catch up with them, but they had already gathered a large group and were quickly departing to their lair.

" What on Earth are those things doing on Earth." River cried out.

" Well, were not actually on Earth." The Doctor mumbled.

"What are you talking about this is Earth", Rory says, "it looks exactly like London."

"Well it is London, but it's a parallel universe of London." The Doctor replies.

"Parallel Universes actually exist?" Amy asked dubiously.

"Well of course they do, what universe have you been in?" the Doctor replied tartly.

"Then why haven't we been to one before?" Amy asked sarcastically with her hand on her hip.

"You used to be able to travel to alternate universes quite easily, but when the Time Lords were destroyed there was nothing to keep the rifts between universes open, so it's now impossible to travel to other universes." the Doctor informed them intelligently.

"Then how did we get here?" Rory asked sarcastically.

"I don't know everything!" He exclaimed exasperatedly. "but I have been to this universe before when the cyber men opened up the rift. I was able to defeat them, but a few were left behind. They were supposed to be gathered and destroyed, but I guess that plan backfired on them."

"And who exactly are them?" River asked curiously.

"Some very old friends. You wouldn't know them. They created a Torchwood Institute similar to the one we have in our universe," the Doctor informed her.

"I know that what is going on here is serious and everything, but Doctor how are we supposed to get back?" Rory asked nervously.

"I'm not sure about that," the Doctor answered sadly, "but I am almost positive that once the Tardis is working again we should be able to find a way back."

"Almost positive!" Rory exclaimed angrily.

"Rory calm down," Amy told Rory comfortingly while resting her hand on his shoulder, " the Doctor will figure it out I know he will."

She then looked at the Doctor and said giving him the scariest face she could muster, "And you will find a way home."

River then interrupted the moment by saying, "Doctor how is it possible for us to be here? The Tardis shouldn't be able to run in this universe."

"Why not?" Amy asked.

"Because," the Doctor replied, "the Tardis gets its energy by feeding off of the universe. But it cannot feed of off this universe. It's the wrong kind of energy. But because of past experiences I added a safety feature so that the Tardis has enough energy to feed off of for at least six months."

"You didn't have her storing up energy before that?" River asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"River, what are you talking about? I just invented it. I thought you would be impressed." the Doctor told her teasingly.

"I would if the Tardis couldn't already do that."

The Doctor just gave her a sad puppy dog face, that River ignored.

"Well since we are stuck here, we might as well have a look around. And find out what is going on around here."

" I guess so," the Doctor replied dejectedly, "But remember they are familiar with my last regeneration, so I don't want them to find out who I am."

"Why not?" Amy demanded. While thinking that if this is how he treated his old friends how would he one day treat them. "Don't you think they would want to see you?" She reasoned with a softer voice.

The Doctor sighed and stated "You can't relive the past Amy."

Amy sighed as well leaving it alone for the time being.

"So how exactly are we supposed to find Torchwood?" Rory then asked.

"Easy ,Torchwood will be putting off a large amount of electrical current that I will be able to detect with the sonic screwdriver," he says as he pulls out his sonic screwdriver and soniced the area , "This way, follow me!"

After walking about four blocks ,the group came across a very large building.

"This is where the signal leads." the Doctor states.

They then walk into the building and come upon a receptionist desk.

"We are here to talk to Pete Tyler. If you could tell us where to find him?" the Doctor asks.

The receptionist quickly typed in a few things then turned to the group and informed them, "There is no one working in this building by that name."

"Are you sure, couldn't you look again?" the Doctor asked sweetly.

"Yes sir I am positive," she snapped back.

The group walked back to the lobby.

"Well that was pointless," River complained, "He is probably here by a different name. And I doubt that they are just going to come out and announce themselves."

Suddenly four men dressed in black stepped out of the elevator and walked swiftly towards the group of friends. And roughly asked the Doctor, "'What business do you have with Peter Tyler?"

The Doctor then proceeded to give River a very pointed look. "I am old friends with Pete, and I noticed you were having some issues. Thought I would pop on in and see if I could lend a hand." he said briskly.

The man towards the back of the group then talked into his wrist saying, "Mr. Tyler we have a man here saying that he knows you, and wants to help us with our issue."

A man's voice then came through asking, "Well who is it?"

"Um?" He then turned to the Doctor, and the Doctor stated, "Doctor John Smith."

The man gave him a strange look before relaying the message. There was a pause before Pete answered, "Bring him down, quickly."

They swiftly had all eight of them go into the elevator. Needless to say it was quite crowded.

Amy then gave the Doctor a look and whispered, "Why did you say your name was John Smith?"

"It's an alibi that I use that he should be able to recognize." the Doctor whispered back.

"I thought you were trying to not let anyone know who you are." Amy asked snottily.

The Doctor replied, "Pete and I were never very close. It doesn't really matter if he knows I'm here. And the people here are trained to see past psychic paper. He is in charge so it is the best way to get in." He added shrugging.

Amy gave the Doctor a look before going silent.

While Amy was asking the Doctor this, River stood quietly thinking to herself why the Doctor was acting so strange. He had told her many stories about his past companions, but he had never mentioned this parallel universe. She wanted to find out what he was hiding, but she almost dreaded it. If he was hiding it from her it must not be pleasant.

By this time the elevator reached its destination. The eight of them then proceeded to exit the elevator and follow the men down a long hallway. They soon came to one of the many doors, and one of the men knocked. Almost immediately the door swung open and a man looking to be in his late forties and was balding rushed them inside.

"Well where is he?" Pete demanded.

"Sir, he is right here." One of the men stated thinking it was obvious if he already knew him.

The Doctor stepped forward, "Hey Pete long time no see. Sorry I look different. Regenerated again."

"Oh yes I was told that you could change your face." he then dismissed the men and added," I only realized it was you, because John is gone on a mission, and he goes by Nobel now not Smith."

"oh well that's convenient." the Doctor said silently.

"What was that?" Pete asked.

"Oh nothing." The Doctor replied quickly.

"Well who are your friends? New companions?"

"Oh yes this is Rory Williams The Last Centurion, his wife Amy Pond, and their daughter River Song."

"How is that even possible? She looks older than them."

"It's a long story that I still don't fully get. Time travel, very confusing." Rory interjected.

Pete looked at them all like they had trees growing out of their ears before finally saying, "Rose will be happy to see that you have new companions. She was always worried about that. She eventually got it out of John what really happened to that Donna girl. She is going to be so happy to see you."

"About that," the Doctor started, "it would be better if she doesn't find out who I am. We are only here until the Tardis repairs herself so we can leave again."

"Yes, that is probably for the better." Pete answered giving the Doctor a sad look.

"Well ," the Doctor said jumping up breaking the somber mood," I saw the Cybermen. What is going on with that?"

"Follow me Doctor, I will show you," was Pete's answer.

"By the way, you better call me something else while I'm here, just in case," the Doctor warned Pete.

"Well what should I call you? Can't exactly be John." Pete stated.

"Um," the Doctor thought a moment, "Craig. Craig Owens will be good. Good friend back on our Earth."

"Okay, follow me Doctor Craig Owens, "Pete then led them back down the long hallway.
