Chapter 1
Rose has been trapped in the parallel universe for 3 months, never giving up hope that one day her Doctor would return. She begins to hear voice in her dreams, a voice she recognises telling to her to come to a beach called 'Dárlig Ulv Stranden' in Norway. She tells her mum about the dreams and a week later Rose, Mickey, Jackie and Pete pack up the car and head on a long drive following the Doctors voice. They soon arrive and everyone clambers out of the car. Rose begins to walk towards the sea when she hears the noise of the Doctor appearing behind her…
'Where are you?'
'Inside the TARDIS. There's only a one little gap in the universe left, just about to close. And it takes a lot of power to send this projection. I'm in orbit around a supernova… I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye'
'You look like a ghost'
'Hold on' the doctor sonic's the TARDIS to make himself appear more clearly as Rose reaches out to touch him one last time. 'Can I tou..' 'I'm still just an image, no touch' 'Can't you come through properly?' 'The whole thing would fracture, two universes would collapse' 'So?' Rose replies as a weak smile appears on the Doctor's face. 'How long have we got?' 'About 2 minutes' 'I can't think of what to say' a tear began to run down Rose's face; 'You've still got Mr Mickey then' 'There's five of us now mum, dad micky, me and the baby' 'You're not?' 'Yeah, 3 months gone' Rose wipes the tear from her face as the Doctor looks down to the TARDIS floor 'But that means… Rose Tyler what have I done, I wish, I wish there was a way through' 'Am I ever going to see you again?' 'You can't' 'You're on your own…I- I love you' 'Quite right to... and I suppose if it's my last chance to say it Rose Tyler…' the Doctor faded and Rose collapsed to the floor in tears as her mum ran towards her.
The Doctor turned around to the TARDIS console it all seemed pointless to him now, how could he live his life without Rose. He slumped down in the chair as tears rolled down his face, glancing at the empty seat next to him he remembered all the time he had spent with Rose, the adventures they had and all the running they did. 'Activate voice interface' the Doctor said desperately trying to hold back the tears; 'Show me Rose Tyler' a virtual image of Rose appeared in front of him 'Is there any way I could get through to the parallel universe before I close the gap forever?' the Doctor asked the TARDIS as a final resort, he was all out of ideas 'That would not be possible without causing serious damage to my core' the TARDIS interface replied. 'But it's possible? It's actually possible' the Doctors face lit up as he began tapping away at the TARDIS console, running around the centre like a mad man with a plan. He was going to make it to Rose no matter what he was determined.
