Rose POV

I looked out across the sea. It was a pretty quite day at the beach. Near the shore I could see my mum and Tony paddling. Mum looked a lot happier now that she did 2 years ago. She had her husband back, a son, her daughter and a beautiful house. Everything was perfect for her. Just across the beach sat Pete and Mickey laughing at each others jokes. I rolled my eyes, for some weird reason those two got along like a house on fire. Everyone in this family had fit into this second world without a hitch. Everyone but me.

I still worked in a shop on the high-street, well that's what I told my mum. Pete and Mickey had left Torchwood over 6 months ago to get a taste of the quiet life which meant I no longer had them sniffing on my case anymore. You see, after everything I had seen there was no way I was going back to my old life. My mum had point blank refused to let me join Torchwood and Pete of course followed suit and agreed with her so I decided to go elsewhere, where my knowledge would be of value. U.N.I.T was the only other option I had left, so I could feel close to him again.

So I enrolled and was promoted very quickly into the higher ranks, the whole time my family never knew a thing and I wanted it to be kept that way. However, if the reports coming back from Torchwood were correct then it might not be possible.

"Rosie! Rose!"

I looked up to see my brother waving at me from the waves. I smiled back at him and waved, even though it was supposed to be a beach day I hadn't dressed for the occasion. I wasn't planning on staying long. I had a job to do.

"Rose come here!" Tony yelled

I sighed before heaving myself up onto my feet and walking towards the rest of my family.

"What?" I called

My mum's face fell into a grimace, she hated when I spoke like I used to. We were supposed to be "proper". I just rolled my eyes are her. She may be able to just walk into someone else's life but there was never a Rose Tyler in this Universe so I wasn't going to act any different.

"I found a crab!" Tony laughed whilst proudly holding up a rather large looking crab.

I laughed and got closer in order to take a closer look at the creature. It didn't seem to look very happy to be taken away from its home. I could sympathize. I was brought here against my will. Quickly I took the crab from Tony before placing it back in the waves.

"Why did you do that?!" My mum cried

"You shouldn't take things away from their homes" I answered.

Her eyes softened and she opened her mouth to say something when suddenly my phone rang. I quickly pulled it out of my trouser pockets before answering .

"Hello?" I asked

"Ma'am we need you to come in, its urgent" A voice replied on the other end. One of the main problems of working for U.N.I.T you rarely got the name of the person you were speaking to on the phone.

"I'm on my way" I replied

"We shall send you the location" the voice replied before promptly hanging up.

I sighed, well here we go.

Doctor's POV

"DOCTOR!"

I jumped and hit my head on the underside of the console. Travelling with Donna was wonderful but I had managed to sustain more accidental injuries because of her yelling than anything else.

"What is it?" I called

A few seconds later I was greeted with the sight if a rather annoyed looking Donna who was wrapped in her robe.

"What happened to the hot water?" She asked whilst still glaring daggers

"What on earth are you talking about, the water is working fine." I replied

"You've been bloody tinkering again, you can't leave this bloody ship alone can you?" She yelled

"I haven't touched the water!" I shouted back. I didn't like to yell but when Donna was like this it was the only way to get through to her.

"Well the ship can't do it herself!" She yelled

Ah

Yes she could

"Well the thing is Donna… she is a sentient ship and a bit of a trouble maker… so in theory she could have and has been known to before" I rambled

"Your saying your ship kicked me out of the shower for her own amusement" She muttered

"No no no, she usually has a very viable reason as to why she has done something" I answered

Suddenly the phone started to ring. I jumped before running over to answer it.

"Martha?" I asked

"Doctor? Oh thank god." Martha replied with a sigh of relief, though she sounded stressed.

"Martha are you okay? Is everything alright?" I asked quickly

"No Doctor we are not okay, we need you!" she replied

"We are on our way" I replied before hanging up.

"Donna get dressed, we are going to Earth!" I said before running to the console.
