A/N: Hello my lovely readers! So, I made a promise to myself never to upload a story unless it was 100% finished. I've never actually finished one...until now! I'll be uploading this in instalments, but they won't take ages and I won't lose interest.

I had great fun writing this story, so I hope you enjoy reading it.

And please, be gentle, it's my first story.

I'd also like to thank everyone that have read my stories, reviewed, favourited, or alerted them.

One last thing, this story is dedicated to my darling Suzy, whose birthday it was recently. Without her, RE lessons would have no meaning.

But it is also dedicated to you, my fantastic fellow 10/Rose fans, because you're the reason I keep on writing.

Disclaimer: You can ask me again and again, but I will sadly never own Doctor Who. Still owned by the BBC. Damn.

Chapter One:

The Doctor kept his hands firmly in his trouser pockets as the Cybermen walked him back through the cooling tunnels and into the building of Cybus Industry. They had left behind Mrs. Moore's body in that corridor and not even given her a backwards glance. That emotional inhibitor really was a spectacular piece of technology, especially considering it had been made by humans.

"Enter." One of the Cybermen ordered as they approached a plain white door. With a hint of mockery, the Doctor swaggered up to the door and pushed it open. A dozen more Cybermen were waiting inside, standing still as statues by the windows. When the Doctor had stepped into the room the door was closed behind him and a Cyberman immediately moved to block it. They had him trapped like a rat, and the Doctor did so hate to be constricted.

"'Ello," He greeted warmly to a motionless Cyberman. "So, which Cyberman are you then, number 4578? Or do you actually have a name? Keith? Ooh, if I was a metal shell with a human brain and no emotions, I still wouldn't like to be called Keith. It doesn't sound right. I'd want a cool name, like Ultimate Destroyer or something that would suit you-"

"Enough." The Cyberman cut him off monotonously.

"Always did talk too much. I haven't had a sales call in forever because I run up their phone bills!"

"LET GO OF ME, YOU BLOODY METAL TOASTERS!" The Doctor recognised Pete's furious voice as the door burst open, narrowly missing the Cyberman stood in front of it. Pete was dragged inside by two Cybermen, kicking and yelling furiously, bright red in the face, clashing awfully with his blonde hair.

"HOW COULD YOU?" He screamed.

"Oh Pete fancy seeing you here!" The Doctor said sarcastically. "I was hoping you could rescue me actually, but there goes that idea."

The Doctor didn't fail to notice the moisture that had collected in the corners of his eyes, obviously they'd found Jackie. He waited intently for another figure to walk through the door, and frowned when no one did.

"Where's Rose?" He asked in a falsely calm voice. Pete looked up at him, his eyes glazed over, as he visibly swallowed. Both Pete and the Doctor started at the sound of the door opening again. A Cyberman stepped inside and shut it behind him, standing as still as a statue.

"Doctor, I'm sorry…" Pete whispered, leaning against the wall and putting his head in his hands.

A/N: So! How do you think that went? Even if it wasn't really FANTASTIC please try the next chapter, because hopefully it'll be a bit better.

This story will be 15ish chapters long and maybe an epilogue, if I have enough imagination for that.

Thanks!
