Rose looked across the way; in her vision was the Doctor, her Doctor. Plastered on his face was his trademark cheeky grin, the one that made her feel so special. But in his eyes she saw his concern for her as she held a death grip on the magna-clamp that was keeping them both from being sucked into the Void with the daleks and cybermen.
"Offline," a mechanical voice chimed, and Rose's head whipped around to see the lever slowly loosening and shutting the void.
"Rose!" the Doctor knew that the lever had to stay locked until the daleks and cybermen were completely gone. Rose's grip on the clamp was reduced to a single hand as the other stretched and strained to regain control of the lever and keep the void open. "Rose, be careful, please!" the Doctor cried.
"I can almost reach it," her fingers displayed the fact that she was mere centimeters from the lever, but her grip on the clamp would have to loosen for her to grab it. "Got it!" Rose cheered. But the moment of hope was gone as she realized she had released the clamp far too much for her to regain control, and she began slipping towards the void. She let out a cry of fear before calling out, "Doctor!"
As if through a lens of slow-motion the Doctor saw Rose fall through Torchwood's ghost hall into the mass of black that was the void. "Rose! No!" he cried as time regained control of him and he saw the pink and yellow human fly into the black hole of hell as the chiming voice once again said, "Ghost Shift unlocked," confirming that he had lost Rose once again. He slunk to the floor after releasing the magna-clamp that kept him separated from Rose.
The cries of "Rose! No!" still echoed in her ears as she sat in the prison that was the void. All black and unfeeling and silent, reminding her that she would never see her precious Doctor again. She felt a solitary tear run from her eye to her chin.
Then Rose woke up screaming…
