Hi guys! It's Starry! I know, I've been gone too long, but school starts tomorrow, so I decided to write something special for you guys. I can't figure out what in fresh hell to write for Mumbling Nightmares. So it would be a HUGE help if you lovely people could send some ideas in. I would really appreciate that. I'll give the people who help out a shoutout in the next chapter of Mumbling Nightmares. :)
Sorry if this is awful. Heck, it probably will be.
So, I don't know where this came from, but an idea is an idea. So here you go. The title is also literally the first thing I could think of. I hope you guys enjoy this one better than my last Doctor Who story. Anyway, enough of my babble. Enjoy. :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, and I am not making money from writing this. It is purely fan made. The only thing I own is the plot for this story.
The scientists of Torchwood had done it.
Mark 3.
It had been perfected. After a year of testing, frustration, and many more forms of total fail, it had been done.
What had been done, you might ask?
The dimension cannon was ready to send one person, and one person only over to the alternate dimension. No one else, at least not for a while. This time, though, it wasn't temporary, this trip, oh no. It would send that one person over permanently, sealing the void behind them, not leaving a mark.
Rose Tyler had been waiting for this. She had ordered the construction to begin, after all. Her most prized possessions were slung over her shoulder with a cloth bag. The technicians had told her that said person traveling could only take small items with them. But after this, there was no way back.
The car ride was silent, her mother's arm around her shoulders.
"Promise to be careful?" Jackie asked, squeezing her daughter. It was one of those days where clouds clogged the sky, but the air was crisp and cool, the light leaving no room for shadows.
Rose smiled. It was maybe the sixth time her mother had asked. "Of course. The Doctor will protect me. He always has."
Jackie still wasn't convinced. She looked down, brushing imaginary lint off of Rose's jeans. "But what about the times you almost died? Explain me that. How do I know that you won't die?"
Rose allowed herself a grin. "I won't die, Mum. I'll be fine. Stop worrying so much."
Jackie shook her head, brushing Rose's hair behind her ear. "I'm your Mum, Rose. It's my job to worry. You may be twenty-one now, but to me, your still my baby. "
Rose kissed her mother, and rested her head on her shoulder.
Was she nervous? It would be lying to say she wasn't. She was terrified. What is something happened? Like in Harry Potter, when they practiced apparition, and some of them left body parts where they had been standing previously. What is that happened, and Rose left behind her foot or something? She took a breath, telling herself to stay calm. It was safe, or she wouldn't be doing it. Nonetheless, if it wasn't safe, her Mum would have shut the idea down the moment it came out of her mouth.
The young blonde leaned against the window, pressing her cheek to the glass. She watched endless trees go by, sighing. Goodbye trees of this dimension.
The car pulled up at the facility, and Rose stepped out on wobbling legs. Mickey stepped up beside her, intertwining her fingers with his. It wasn't loving, just caring. Mickey and her relationship was long over, but they still remained close.
"You'll be okay." He told her, giving her hand a squeeze.
Rose smiled. "Yeah. I know. I'll be fine. I'll miss you."
Mickey smiled. "I'll miss you too."
Pete pushed the doors open, and they stepped into the large building. The woman at the desk at the head of the spacious room regarded the group with lowered spectacles.
"I'm Rose Tyler. I'm here for the dimension canon?"
The woman nodded curtly, and stood. She gestured for them to follow her, Her heels clicking on the floor as she walked.
They were met with another set of double doors, these ones made of metal. The room had a high celling, rafters visible. The floor was swamped with important looking men and women wearing smart white coats. The canon was stationed in the middle of the room. It looked similar to the second version of the dimension canon, but was a great deal bigger. It was pointed towards a raised platform. Slowly, she released her death grip on Mickey's hand, and took a step forward.
Rose shook as her mother embraced her, kissing the crown of her head. "My Rose." She said softly. "Be careful. Give the doctor a good hard slap for leaving you behind."
Rose smiled, despite herself. "He didn't have a choice, Mum."
Jackie's grip tightened. "I know, but he could have done more."
The blonde girl shook her head, giving her mother one last kiss on the head. As she waved one last time to her parents and Mickey, she fisted the strap of her bag tightly in her hand. She couldn't believe it. She was finally going back. Sure, she would have a lot of explaining to do, but seeing the Doctor again was worth it. She stepped onto the transport pad, doing her best to give her loved ones a smile, which probably looked a bit more wonky than she liked. Her mother blew a kiss.
Her hands were shaking. She glanced over her shoulder, giving the technician at the controls a thumbs up. Where she would end up, she had no idea, but seeing him would be worth it. She's find him. Just look for the TARDIS. Of course, she had thought about all of this quite thoroughly the night before, anticipation gnawing at her insides, depriving her of sleep.
"I love you!" Jackie shouted, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"I love you too, Mum!"
Rose wrapped her arms around herself.
And her world erupted into a column of light.
That... Went way better than I thought it would. I'll have the next chapter up right away. I really hope you guys like this. I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy writing as the Doctor.
Anyway, stay tuned!
