The TARDIS landed with a jolt. Rose grabbed the console for support, while the Doctor fumbled with a few more switches.
"Where are we?" Rose asked when the Doctor stepped back.
Doctor clapped his hands together and smiled. "New York City, 1985."
Rose smiled. "We could go see Back to the Future!"
The Doctor ran around the console and grabbed Rose's hand. "Fantastic movie!"
They walked out of the TARDIS together hand-in-hand, and walked out of the alley they had landed in and onto the street. The Doctor stopped and viewed his surroundings."34th Street." He said. He turned around. "A few blocks from Broadway."
While the Doctor examined their location, Rose studied the clothes of the passersby. She noticed that their clothes looked nothing like the 80's clothing she had seen in photos. She tapped on the Doctor's shoulder, and he turned to her. "I didn't think that women in the 80's wore dresses like.. that." She pointed to one of the women walking down the street, wearing a long, tan dress that reached just below her knee.
The Doctor looked at who Rose was pointing at, then he let go of Rose's hand and stopped the woman. "Excuse me, what year is this?"
The woman looked at him like he just asked her what color the grass was. "1925." She said rudely, then she continued walking through the crowd the other direction.
Rose giggled, and the Doctor walked back over casually. "Looks like we're in 1925 instead."
"Well, this works too." Rose said. She then looked down at her hoodie and jeans. "Maybe I should go back to the TARDIS and change."
"You don't have to." The Doctor said.
"Don't really want a repeat of what happened in Scotland." Rose said. The Doctor smiled.
"You can go ahead, I'll find you later." Rose said as she started walking back to the alley. The Doctor nodded and turned the other direction.
Rose briskly wove between the people in the crowd. As she turned to walk down the alley, she tripped over something. She landed on her chest, and quickly rolled over. She didn't see anything but a small black box. Curious, she picked up the box and opened it. Inside rested a silver necklace, with a heart-shaped locket. A genuine diamond was placed in the middle of the of the front of the locket. She turned it over, and noticed a strange symbol on the back. She recognized it as the Greek letter Sigma, with tiny red dots lining the edge.
She stood up and looked around to see if anybody lost it. "Did anybody lose this?" Rose called, holding up the box. People stared at her as they passed by, ignoring the question. She brought her hand back to her side and walked back into the alley. She leaned against the brick wall and opened the box again. She turned the locket over again and traced the letter with her finger. She wasn't sure what to do with it, but a heavenly voice echoed the same three words in her head.
Put it on.
Finally, Rose pulled the necklace out of the box and put it around her neck. As she clicked the clasp into place, she fell back against the wall. Her breath quickened and she began to sweat. She felt as if her body was under attack. She blinked, and she instantly felt fine again. In fact, she felt better than she had before she put the necklace on. She smiled and stood back up, and ran down the street to find the Doctor. She found him sitting outside of the Macy's Department Store. She dropped down on the ground next to him, surprising him.
He turned and looked at her clothing. "I thought you went to change?"
"Oh, I just.. changed my mind." Rose said. She began to sweat nervously
Doctor noticed the look on her face. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, perfectly fine." She said, and the pain evaporated again.
