For those that were wondering as to why I've decided to move this version of the first two chapters of SIAU, or Stuck in another universe, here is because of sentimental reasons, that sometimes the work someone does takes a while to get where it needs to be, and because of random third reason. Okay, because of the flashbacks, which does count for Faith's back story. But, seeing as that takes time to add in throughout my story, just see the flashbacks here.
And yes, I was inspired by the Outtakes series that DanniFielding has, who's a wonderful author in her own right.
This mini book with have deleted scenes, chapters from another point of view, tumblr prompts, mini scenes that would be out of place in the main story, also goes for plots that would be fun to write but out of place in the time frame of the thing, and revisions., and maybe other stuff.
The next two chapters would be 'revision stuff.'
Welcome Ladles and Gentle Spoons, to Stuck in Another Universe.
It might be a bit long, and the rest of the chapters I'm writing will might be more or less the same length, so bear with me if you don't mind some long chapters, a few Doctors here and there and a few arcs spread around.
Slight warning, just a barest hint of copulation.
And, if you're being very kind, a review would be nice, just to see if anyone likes it.
Once upon a time, in a universe far away, a young woman, on the day of her 27th birthday, was whisked away from her not so average life, by an unknown portal and fell in the Whoniverse, and, well, can't spoil it all right away.
Sometimes a person's life could change in one day. Sometimes even less than that.
Sometimes the thing that changes our life we barely take notice off until it drops out of the sky.
With us inside of it no less.
That earned a chuckle from most of the people who experienced the event that the bride is saying in her vow/speech, especially from one of the blonde bridesmaids, the others were slightly confused and left to wonder.
That day that the plane crashed had a great impact on me, I found the man that I love, the friends that I forged from that tragedy, not all of them made it to today, to witness what it's happening. I hope that they are with us in spirit, but I bet they have better things to do.
That earned a smile from her husband to be. And from her closest friends. And the bride's 6 younger sisters. And her brother. And her two nieces.
I give you my heart and soul, all of my days to follow. And I asked for nothing but love and trust in return.
The blonde bride and her groom hold hands as she finished her speech.
Faith Harrington smiled happily, in her sea blue-green bride's maid dress as she saw her best friends, Susan Brown and Hugo Reyes, kiss in celebration of being announced as wife and Husband.
She threw confetti along with her friends, laughing joyfully.

Someone layed their hand on the newlywed shoulder's. The natural blonde turned around, incidentally hitting Faith with her light green veil.
Susan covered her mouth in surprise. "Sorry, I'm so sorry."
Faith laughed it off. "Are you kidding? No need to apologized on your wedding day. I was the one behind you." She went to hug one of her best friends. "So, wanna get to the food already? I'm waiting to get my hands on that hog."
"Don't remind me," Hugo said, lightly patting his stomach. "I swear I'm going to eat all la mole verde."
Faith guffawed at that. "Oh, that would be a sight to see. I might beat you to that though." Susan moved her head off to the side, Faith followed her gaze, landing on the dark-skinned man smiling at her. She turned back to Susan. "Better get started on that food. I kinda want to dance soon." She points a finger at the both of them."And you better make sure that it's the radio, this time."
Hugo gives her a mock salute. "Aye, aye."
Faith walked towards her assigned table, where Janelle Granger, Carmen Lopez, Lewis Callahan, and two empty seats. She sat down next to Lewis.
Janelle looked up from her journal to see Faith. "Hey there, Harrington, how'd it go?"
Faith touched the empty glass. "Went well, Granger." She smiled lightly. She looked around the large tent. "Just a little.."
"Jealous, bored..." The red-head interjected.
"No, it just that..." She leaned in closer so that nobody can hear them. "After what happened earlier today, I have this strange feeling that something else is going to ruin the wedding."
"Don't you worry then." Faith turned around to see Elyon Brown, the blonde haired second oldest of the Browns. "Between me and Elsa, Ella, Eliza, Elena, and Ethan, there's no need to worry."
"No need to -" Faith stood up. "The last time we needed more than just you guys."
"Yeah," Elyon coincided. "Fine, I'll give you that one, but she's our big sister, so don't worry about it." Elyon patted Faith's back. "Just enjoy it."
Elyon left the table, heading back to her two young girls and her common - law husband. Faith let out a small smile. "I'll try." She said to thin air.
- - - - 5 - - 8
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath but this is bigger than triumph
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind
God is recordin' this, won't you look in the sky?
Faith took a sip from her wine as she danced a little in her seat, waiting for the song to finish its piano - rap section to get to Alicia's voice. The fact that I mistaken you for a newcomer proves that I was wrong about music, just a bit.
She looked at the invitation card she held in her hand. March 13, 2008. She looked up at the happily married couple, relishing the look on their faces as they, embarrassingly danced away.
She let out a small smile. Then frowned as she looked down at her watch. ' Just a few more hours,' She thought. She looked back up at the sight of the rest of her friends dancing.
She can't help but feel that even with most of her friends' being married, that this will changed everything. She finished her drink and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She shook it off. 'Must be just my own nerves', she thought
Tell him you got the behavior of your neighbor
Even when stability's never in your favor
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it
She smirked as she spotted the man she saw earlier drinking at the free bar. She put the card in her purse, sets it down in her chair, and walked over to the man.
"Hello stranger," Faith drawled out. "That was very lame. Did I just ruined it right there?"
He shook his head. "No, you didn't."
Walk through the valley of peace, with bare FEET (whoa)
Run through the flames, that's more passion for ME (whoa)
I passed that, this morning just so the world can SEE (whoa)
Got them wolves on me, no watch me lick 'em clean
The dark-skinned man grinned at the sight of her. "Right, well, nice to meet you, again."
"Again, when did we meet the first time?" She coyly asked.
"One of the Best men."
"Ahh, strange, that I haven't met you before then." She said with the widest grin on her face.
I know, I know, my pride, my goals, my highs, my lows
I know, I know, it's mind control
The dark-skinned man grabbed her by the waist.
"A bit forward, are we?" Faith said coyly.
"Just a bit," He said softly.
I know I could prosper, no impostor, prosecute my posture
I stand up and I stand by her, what
"I like the forward type, kinda sexy."
"Well, how about a dance then?"
"Would love one desperately."
The man and Faith were pressed together as they started to sway with the music. Faith smiled widely as she remembered this song, from like a month ago from her radio.
And the night is takin' over, and the moonlight gets exposure
And the players have been chosen, and it seems like fate has spoken
When it seems your Faith has broken, by the second, losin' focus
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off - unless you move forward
"And to think, you claimed that you didn't have dance lessons." She teased him.
"One of my other worldly talents," He pressed his lips to her ear.
"The Renaissance man, I bet that's what I'll call you."
"Hmm, sounds old fashion."
"I like old fashion. It's... nice to be old once in a while."
"But you don't look that old."
"Just shy of 27. I know, must be the air."
"The air." He said, slightly incredulous.
"You know the saying, the magic in the air, all that kerfuffle."
"Well, that must be it them, seeing as I am 27, and a half, and right now I'm feeling pretty young at the moment."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
I am a lonely hero, tryin' to fight my battles
Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow
In the midst of all this darkness, I sacrifice my ego
There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people
The man quirked his eyebrows and grinned as if he won the lottery. "Wanna get out of here?"
Faith's breath hitched.
"Sure." She gives out a small smile. "I know a place you'll like."
Say the work don't stop, 'cause they don't stop
And everybody here tryna get on top
Everybody from the 'burbs down to the block
Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go
Huh, so you think you hot?
Gotta grind hard, give it all you got
You can have, or you can have not
You see that a lot in the ghetto, ghetto
Faith looked around and relaxed as her and the tall dark stranger walked out of the reception, hand in hand, making sure to grab her purse on their way out.

Faith kicked off her flats as she pined the man against the cool thick tree. "Oh I think that's a bit too far is it?"
The man took off Faith's rubber band revealing her long blonde hair.
"Not enough." She responded by attaching herself to his neck.
"I hoped not, I wanted to spend more than five minutes with you." Faith non too gently guided the man to lie on a white smooth rock. "I think I have a case of jungle fever."
"And you need someone to cure it?"
"No, I want to stay like this for a long while. Hope you're up for that?"
The man looked at Faith appreciently. "I already am." With a sulturly look, Faith bend down towards him.
- - - - 5 - - 8
Faith twirled the simple gilded gold ring as she felt the sea of endorphins washing over her. "Love you , Henry Davis Bloom." She kisses his chest. "Always."
" I love you, Faith Harrington Bloom" He said as he kisses her forehead, calming down from his high.
Faith grinned widely. "We should role-play more often. I'm surprised we haven't tried that."
Henry quirked an eyebrow. "Yeah, I cannot see the downfall for that if we tried this before."
Faith sighed. "Alright, Mr. I - Know - so, maybe not before, with the Others around, but I have this feeling that I might get into this role-playing thing."
"Alright, what do you have in mind for tomorrow?"
Faith stretched. "You, dressed up as a floppy hair man with an affinity for bow - ties and tweed."
Henry laughed. "You sure about that one?"
Faith nodded. "And I'll ask Elyon to take me to a wig shop to find a black wig and a short red dress."
"Wait, River's not a brunette."
"Course not, I want some Whouffle action."
"Who - what?"
"Something I recently rediscovered, not bad that. Granted, you'll be the one making the souffle."
"What we're going to do tomorrow is going to included the souffle?"
Faith laughed as she got what he was implying. "Oh God no, you've got a dirty mind."
"Please, I became that partly because of you."
"Really? Like red heads with an unrealistic doll figure tend to occupied your mind, came from me?"
He only laughed as he held her closer to his chest. Partly because of how perfectly molded they are, and partly because it's cold at night.
"You caught me. Do you think it's midnight yet?"
Faith gave him a lopsided grin. "Very good chance that we've been here for an hour, so yup." She popped the 'p'.
"Well, Happy belated birthday."
Faith grinned as she fell on the dress made pillow next to her."At least you got me a great present, then." She went up to kiss his lips.
"Hmm," He thought. "So, I'm just a gift, am I?"
"The best there is." Faith lead him to lie down in front of her.
"No, I'm not." He kissed the tip of her nose. "I'm better than that."
She can't help but break out in a grin. "Yeah you are." She kissed him fully on the lips. "You are the second most important thing in my life."
"And the most important?"
"The saving. Honestly, I feel that the rush you get when you save someone is so amazing. And the fact that you the cause of that happiness on their faces, is rewarding enough. And the bowwoman thing I have going for me, that's really a good decision I made."
"I think you had a bit too much wine." He caressed her arm. "You're repeating yourself again."
Faith widen her eyes in mock shock. "Oh dear, I'm sorry for repeating things. Maybe I should stop introducing you as my husband altogether," She made a face. "Exposition is important for newcomers, as you know." She giggled. "I think your right on the 'too much drinkage'."
"Well, I hope we don't have to deal with anyone else for a while." She pecked his cheek slightly in response. "At least for a couple of hours."
Henry and Faith kissed fully, in the middle of the full moon, as a new year dawned for pulled back from each other.
"Do you think we should go back now?" Henry asked.
Faith nodded. "Yeah, when I wake up tomorrow, I don't want to see a Hurley bird staring at me, again." She stood up, nonchalantly, slightly cold from the night winds but otherwise okay, and grabbed her dress. She holds out her hand. "Come on then, you can gauk again in the bedroom."
He takes it, standing up slowly. "You know, maybe while you're at the shop, you should consider buying a red wig."
"Fine, just as long as I don't have to wear those fake plastic funbags with the sparkly red dress."
"Okay... how about the next time?"
As their voices drifted away into the wind, the bright green invitation card that Faith had in her purse blow away in the breeze, right into a small orange portal that appearing in between two broken trees, disappearing from the world.

There was a time
I met a girl of a different kind.
We ruled the world,
I'd thought I'd never lose her out of sight.
We were so young, I think her now and then.
I still hear the song that reminded me of my friend.
Faith Harrington woke up to see her bright yellow ceiling of her home with Henry, to the sound of her Radio/Alarm. She rubbed her tender neck, after all that dancing she thought she was still sore from that and what she and Henry got up to when they got home, but now it felt like she's refreshed after a long day of deep sleep. Or even longer.
She went to find a canteen around her bed that she would use for storing fresh water from a river she frequented. She took one swig of it, sticking out her tongue in distaste as she tried to find the button to turn off the radio. Instead, she ended up changing the station.
"Hold me close and hold me fast
this magic spell you cast
this is la vie en rose"
The ghostly grave Estuary accented man sang.
She stood up in her bed, looking at her alarm. It was strange it didn't shut off, seeing as she swore that she smacked the right button.
"When you kiss me, heaven sighs
and though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose"
She blinked. The alarm wasn't even on. She turned to her right. He's not there. His side wasn't even made. That's not like Henry. She started to get out of her bed. She noticed with a frown that she's wearing grey converse sneakers.
"When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom "
She looked down at herself. She's wearing a long sleeve dark blue jean jacket with a pink shirt, and dark jeans. She widen her eyes. She was sure that she slept in her forest green bridemaids' dress, or without it. Or maybe she left it on the couch in the living room. "What the hell?"
" And when you speak, angels sing from above
everyday words seem to turn into love songs"
As she walked towards her bedroom door, she stopped to see a grey satchel bag appeared secured on her shoulder. She gulped as she noticed it.
If she goes anywhere, she would carry her light brown backpack with her, not normal grey Ben Linus'uese satchel.
45815162342
Henry Bloom sets the broom down on the floor, about a few feet away from them, careful to not dirty the tied ribbons containing the friends that are present, or not.
Henry touched Faith's shoulder, as she looked at the ribbons that are named 'Susan,' 'Hugo,' 'James,' and so on.
She sniffed. "Remind me to have another wedding," She let out a small smile. " So that everyone can be there."
He smiled. "Can do." He kissed his cheek.
They walked towards their slighter larger cluster of friends and moved to face a Latina woman wearing a flower chain on the top of her head, standing in as priest. "You guys sure as sure you want to do this now?"
They both nodded vigorously.
"Que bien, let's get this over with." Carmen coughed as she schooled her features into a more mature look. "We are all gather here today to witness a binding between woman and man, as one."
- - - 20 - 12 - 22 - - -
Carmen Lopez, the priest, gives Henry and Faith a red ribbon, one for each, their respective partner's name on their ribbon. She tied it to their wrist.
"I pronounced you husband and wife." She pointed to the broom on the jungle floor. " Now you may leap into a better life."
Henry jumped first over the broom. He turned back to Faith. He hold out the hand with the tied wrist, beckoning her to come to him.
Without hesitation, Faith leaped over the broom.
As her feet plopped to the floor, she looked up, to face nothing. She turned around to see if he moved, but it's not only him. Everyone is gone.
She widen her eyes.
"No..."

"give your heart and soul to me a
and life will always be
la vie rose "
'Lethe, Faith. Embrace.' The ghostly man whispered throughout the room.
She held back from opening, scanning to find the strange man.
"Hello?" She gets no response. "Listen," She tried to find anything nearby for defense, " I want to know what you want, if it's something a bit more bizarre, don't worry. I know a couple of people that could help!" She grabbed a gold medallion. She looked towards the closet.
"All you have to do is show yourself." Her hand reached toward the closet's double doors. "That's all." She pull to open as nothing came out. No ghoul or any sort of metahuman.
All she saw was an empty closet. Faith looked around, but all her clothes, her old ratty backpack, even her homemade bow and quiver, gone.
The bright homey yellow sunlight that was shining from a nearby window instantly turned bright white. Faith abandoned her medallion and moved away from the closet and pressed her back against the door.
The whiteness started to engulf the entire room. Not knowing how to handle a situation like this, she close her eyes and covered her ears, just in case as if the sky turned purple again.
She felt the door give weight under her, making her fall over the threshold. It's as if life slowed down as she saw the room that she barely had for less than six months, disappeared before her very eyes. Leaving Faith surrounded by the blue and orange swirls that she remember from the Portals, the ones she thought we closed for good, being propelled forwarded into the orange swirl.
She doesn't know how long she had screamed, could have lasted a minute, or a sea turtle's life - span. But she felt her throat growing sore. She wanted to open her eyes again, but she felt that if she does, she won't be whole again.
She felt the electricity from the portal trying to leave permanate marks but it's as if it can't succeed. She screamed out in pain, at least she thinks she did, with the growing noise of the oncoming portal, it may have drowned her out, or maybe she can't scream.
- - - - 5 - - 8 - - -
She felt that she sunk into quicksand. She took a big gulp and snapped her mouth shut.
Falling.
Falling.
Still Falling.
Falling so slowly yet so far that she felt the freeness that washed over her skin becoming a heavy weight in her soul.
She grasped for any sort of line, for help in any form. She felt warm heat all around her, but not harming her, as if she's protected.
The world started to turn pitch black as she saw the buildings coming closer to her.
She puts her arms out in front of her.
- - - - 5 - - 8
She blinked back into reality. And blinked again as the mattress seems to be less comfy than she last remembered. And slightly chilly. Has she left the window open again?
The first thing that greeted Faith was a hurt front side. She propped herself up from the undressed mattress, raising an eyebrow at the two necklaces on her neck.
She took a chance and look at the alarm clock.
8:58 AM.
She furrowed her brows as she turn her head slowly, slighty on edge, seeing as she's in a strange apartment, rubbing her ears as it felt too quiet to not have some form of white looked at a window covered by a Superman curtains.
It seems to be dark out, judging from the cluster of stars that showed through the small crack in between sheets. And strangely, the window seemed to be close.
Faith started to sit down on the bed and took off her jacket, then immediately puts it back on due to the coldness of the room. She still rubbed her shoulders as she wasn't quite used to this type of weather, at least where she was.
She stopped as she saw something improbable out of the corner of her eye. She looked upward.
She froze at the sight.
She's in an apartment complex, that's for sure. Seeing as she can see the two upper floors from the huge gaping hole, showing the night sky, which is, presumably, the roof. It seemed to look like that the top is the small hole in relative to the rest, as if what ever came through expanded until it stopped -
On this floor. She took a few steps back and sure enough the other side of the room is dented. A few more floors and the whole building could collapse on itself.
What's more, is that the small patch of the daylight sky revealed unknown constellations, and a green planet, from the angle that's she's looking from.
"Oh God, what the hell happened to me?" She whispered.
Pop!
She rubbed her ears as the noises finally made an appearance. The strangely distant sounds of despair, of people fully enjoying their last moments. In the apartment itself, it's pretty quiet.
Where ever she is, she knows for sure that she's has to do what she does best.
- - - - 5 - - 8
She open the satchel on the bed, as she rummaged through the closets, drawers and cupboards of the apartment, looking for any sort of improved weapons. Finding at least a tool box for pluming, would be enough.
She only found a Taser. And a book about Greek mythology. She quickly puts the book inside.
She looked at the Taser gingerly, never actually handled one through her full 26 years of living.
She laughed incredulity as she ran towards the bathroom. 'Turned 27 and I end up falling into another... world, dimension, universe?' She shook her head as she looked for empty bottles. 'Or maybe something every more bizarre. Dream world, a Lotus Eating machine, what it it?'
"Happy birthday to me," She sang sarcastically and slightly hoursed. She took all the empty bottles and store it inside the satchel. The more that she focused on trying to find any tools to help, the sooner she can get back to the universe. 'No, just wait a minute. Near death experience, something like - like' Faith flashed back to The Stolen Earth. Those constellations and the planet, they're the same.'
She slowly sat down in the toilet covered seat. "I'm in Doctor Who." She laced her hands together and put them to cover her face. 'This can't be happening.'
Yes, well, it is. A soft spoken male thought. And you have to get that over with like in about less than an hour. If I'm right, which of course I am, you need to be at the top of your game for the next few hours.
'Oh fun, voices in my head,' She thought sarcastically. 'About a million light years and a quicksand protective barrier away from home, and I'm hearing people in my head again. You sound English thought. That's different.'
Ahh, well, you're all by your lonesome, might have banged your head good and all that great stuff. At the moment, I need you to focus on this, to keep calm and carry on.
'Keep calm - just a few hours ago, I was enjoying a very good early morning with my boyfriend, and now I'm here. I'm up for an adventure, but do you expect me to instantly be calm?'
Count to five. He reminded her. Let the fear in, then let it go.
Faith took a deep breath and counted. She let out the breath. She stood up suddenly, reinvigorated. She started to pace around the small bathroom. "Now if I remembered correctly, this should be the first part, seeing as there's no automatic techno warming from the Daleks so there's that." Her eyes light up at the computer mention. "Idiot, should've checked that first." She hits herself on the wrist.
She was halfway out of the door until she doubled back to raid the cabinet. Aspirin, fresh out. Paracetamol, just two pills used. She grabbed that bottle. Celexa, her hand started to shake, "Out of all the apartments to fall on," She muttered to herself as she puts it back on the shelve.
She stalked towards the living room, where it seems unharmed. A half an hour or so later, she came up with nothing. No computer or tablet, she thought until she remembered that the tablet came out a few years after 2009. With that little idea leading to nowhere and still no evidence of the Dalek ships in the sky, Faith decided to leave the apartment.
Outside the apartment, on the half hallway, she stopped as she fully saw the view.
Well, if there was any lingering doubt as to where it she is, it's gone now.

The Doctor, Donna and the albino Shadow Architect looked at the 3 - d model of the 27 planets. "...The planets rearranged themselves into the optimum pattern. Oh, look at that! 27 planets in perfect balance. Come on, that is gorgeous!" He gushed at the sight.
"Oi, don't get all spaceman, what does it mean?" Donna asked.
"All those worlds fit together like pieces of an engine. It's like a powerhouse! What for?"
"Who could design such a thing?" The Shadow Architect asked.
"Someone tried to move the Earth once before. Long time ago... can't be.."

Martha was arguing to General Sanchez. "But why me?"
"You're our only hope of finding the Doctor. " He said calmly. "But failing that, if no help is coming, then with the power invested in me by the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, I authorise you, to take this " He hold out a key. "- The Osterhagen Key. "
"I can't take that, sir."
"You know what to do. For the sake of the Human Race."

Rose appearing in the middle of the street, the same street that The Doctor and Donna were on just a few moments ago, like from a teleport, toting an enormous gun.
Rose looked up to the sky without a bit of surprise"Right, now we're in trouble..." She cocks the gun. "It's only just beginning."

conversation -
"Holy crap!" She whispered, even if it absurd that she's doing so. That... entire episode down Doctor Who memory lane, the entire episode that she hasn't seen in years, verging on a decade, she just managed to experence.
She turned to head downstairs until she saw that the hallway looked familiar.
Third floor, four doors down..
She had the sudden urge to walk towards an apartment door, boarded up with two plywood woods from one end of the door to the other.
She reached out to touch the door. It seemed that no one wanted this apartment, not even for a tenant.

"You don't need me." The Ninth Doctor said to Rose Tyler, trying to disway her from telling him to stay behind in Rose's flat to watch the news about the ship that was found in the Thames. "Go and celebrate history. Spend some time with your mum?"
"Promise you won't disappear?" Rose asked of him.
The big eared Doctor thought for a moment then he rifled through his pockets. "Tell you what, TARDIS key. It's about time you had one. See you later." He tossed her the key and went on his merry way.

She stumbled out of it, teary eyed. She quickly tore the woods out of their holding metal thing that keeping them in place. She thought of the nastiest person that has ever crossed her path and kicked the door in the middle.
She gave the door a through look.
It turned out that the door was unlocked.
Slightly wondering why there was the need not to padlock the door, she stepped inside the door.
She took one look around the place.

Time stopped for Rose as the New Doctor enter the flat on Christmas eve, just after saving the day from the Sycorax and overthrowing the Prime Minister. She took one look at his new wardrobe, brown pinstripe suit and long brown coat, and grinned her Rose Tyler grin.
He walked towards the table. "You don't mind if I joined?"
Rose's smile became wider. "Join me - uh, us!"

Faith furrowed her brows at the last memory. 'That's not right.' She thought. She shook it off. The stress must be getting to her.
The place hasn't aged well, also taking into account the bent wall like if a rubble ball fell into unwrapped Saran Wrap and it left an impression.
Somehow her feet guided her to a room. Rose's room.
She took a long walk around the pink room, stopping at a picture of Rose, in winter clothes, with the Tenth Doctor, hugging Rose with one arm. They seemed to be having the time of their lives.
She pocketed it and headed out of the apartment, towards the stairs and out of the complex. She turned to see the building, and couldn't suppress her gasps. The half of it smashed as if someone was drilling a wide jack hammer from the roof.
She shook her head. "No time for questions." She started to walk ahead, making sure to be out of harm's way as the drunks and the pilfers stumbled around the streets.
She racked her brain while walking ahead, making sure to do so from the alleyways to be unnoticed, trying to see which Companion she can call for help. She ruled out most of the Moffat era companions. Possibly not River, seeing as even if she had her number, she wouldn't be sure which River she would be getting.
Rose is out of the question, for the moment, Martha's in New York at the moment, Jack's in Cardiff, Sarah Jane is out of the question, Lucie Miller's timeline is a mess as it is and Donna's with the Doctor. But her family lives in Chiswick, which is in London, now if only she knows where to get directions for Donna's home.
'Maybe heading for somewhere unique, like Big Ben or somewhere.'
She looked around for anyone holding any projectile weapons. She quirked up a smile as she spotted a sport store that seemed to be broken in.
She'll take her chances. She headed inside of the store to see most of their stock empty, except for the archery section.
She grinned. "Bingo." She headed towards it, opening her bag to make space for a green compound bow, a quiver filled with arrows, and some fingerless gloves. "Slow ride," She sang out, "Take it easy!"
She sling the bow onto her shoulder and walked out onto the street, where her heart looked wide-eyed as she saw, not 23 feet away from her, Rose flipping Tyler.
The Defender of Earth, the one that made the Doctor live again, enjoying life. She's here, right now.
Faith grinned.

Memories of Rose Tyler, more prominently of the Doctor and Rose in a romantic light, and of their last moments together in a shared universe.

The long brown coat Doctor and Rose Tyler standing in a large field full of mish matched rock that has eroded away enough to leave holes. Where huge stin rays are flying about.
"How long are you going to stay with me?" The Doctor asked.
"Forever." Rose said without hesitation.

Rose Tyler and the Doctor kneel before Queen Victoria being knighted.
"Many thanks, Ma'am." The Doctor said.
"Thanks. They're never going to believe this back home." Rose said excitely.

Queen Vicky was in the middle of her banishment speech to The Doctor and Rose Tyler. "You will leave this shores and you will reflect, I hope, on how you came to stray so far from all that is good, and how much longer you will survive this terrible life. Now leave my world, and never return."

Rose is in a dinner with her mother, Jackie Tyler, and her ex- now best friend Mickey, trying to convince them that she just forget about the Doctor and lived as she did before. "...That you don't just give up. You don't just let things happen. You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away..."
Rose shut her eyes and looked away from the advancing people dressed in plastic, cornered near a wall that has a steam pipe.
She felt a warm hand gripped hers. She gripped it.
She looked up to see a big eared buzz cut man in leather.
"Run!" The man said.
And she did so, saving her from death and leading him to find the joy in the universe.

Faith blinked back the tears from her eyes, and, determined, with adrenaline pumping into her body, she raced towards Rose, walking ahead, with the huge gun of hers.
"Rose!" She shouted. "Rose Ty-" Alas, it was undermined by a stray piece of debre caught on her foot, causing her to unceremoniously fall onto the floor.
Rose Tyler turned around as she heard someone calling her name. As she didn't hear anyone nearing, aside from the few creepos that's 'celebrating', she headed towards a subway entrance, hoping to have less of people 'celebrating'.
Faith adjusted her 'H. D. B. ' necklace from the silver pendent one and stood up just as Rose had disappeared down a tunnel. She quickly stood up. "Rose Tyler?" She shouted , turning around in a full circle. "Rose?"
Faith covered her mouth with her hand. "No.." She said out loud.
You idiot, because of your clumsiness, you didn't catch up to Rose! Now what are we going to do?
She hanged her head low. Rose was my one chance to leave this universe, and I had to Bella- ed it up.
She dusted herself off, unknowing of the blue swirl that's growing behind her.
Her eyes widen as she saw the distinctive blue - white light illuminating the reflective pieces of broken things on the street.
She turned around.
And shielded herself from the light of the portal as it engulfed her.
Note:
Here's the thing. Faith Harrington isn't like the normal 'Normal person from our universe ending up in the Whoniverse'. On one hand, she's at least mortal, and is a Doctor Who fan. On the other hand, well, if you heard of Charmed, Lost and Smallville, there will at least some references here and there.
