So this is the FIFTH in the Following Rose Series, and I must say that the chapters are going to vary, some like this will be reasonably sized, some will be tiny, and some will be huge.

Her Search

It Begins – Voyage of the Damned

Rose Marion Harkness got up and looked into the mirror. She smiled. She had just straightened and dyed her hair. Blonde. She liked blonde. Always went back to blonde. It reminded her of when she was young and innocent and knew nothing about the terrors of the universe. The good times.

She walked through her empty flat full of only memories and sighed. It was classic fifty million and first century design but she didn't like it. She'd let one of her younger great-something-granddaughters decorate it and it seemed a bit… odd. She'd never really liked it. But now -now her whole family was dead and she'd ruined any chance of being with the Doctor- well now she loved it.

Rose dressed in a pair of black jeans, a pink halter and a navy leather jacket then filled her now bigger on the inside jacket-pocket with her Sonic Screwdriver, physic credit card, perception filter, Tardis key, super phone (from the year five billion and fifty), and then put on her Time Vortex Manipulator. Ready, Rose set co-ordinates in the manipulator and teleported away.

She found her self in a field. Looking around Rose quickly saw the Tardis. She ran. Excitement filled her so much she couldn't hear a thing. She ran faster until she was just about to reach it. The Tardis vanished. Damn. She looked around.

London. And Christmas too, she thought looking at the lighting of the distant city. Year; 2007.

Odd. She'd set the manipulator for Cardiff, two days after the election of Harold Saxon.

Rose felt her heart contract. She didn't know why she loved him.

Although she had realised what she'd done during the Year That Never Was, and who she'd been, and although she now remembered and relived the love she had for Jack and the Doctor and the Human race, Rose still loved Harold Saxon; The Master.

But Lareine Saxon was dead now. Gone the moment she left the Valiant.

Rose looked up and scanned the area again. A silhouette- a man's silhouette. She could hear his laughter ringing out in the otherwise still darkness. She ran over to him.

Panting slightly she tapped him on the shoulder, "Excuse me, have you seen a man, about this tall, messy brown hair, freckles, wears converses."

"The Doctor?"

"Yes! Oh thank God. Do you know where he is?"

"No, he was in his ship, just over there. He never said where to, why?"

"He's my fiancé."

"Really? Why didn't he wait for you?"

"We were separated; he doesn't know I'm here. I was trying to find him..." She sighed, "…Is this snow?" She asked after a moment.

"No."

"Oh… Well, er, thanks for your help."

"Your wel-" but the old man was interrupted by a yell of delight as a man appeared right next to Rose.

"Rose!" He hugged her tightly.

Half choking, half laughing Rose smiled. "Mickey! Oh my God!"

"Listen, babe, I'm sorry to interrupt but this is important. We need you to help us, ok?"

"Why? What's happened?"

"Rose is there someplace private we can talk?"

"Ahh, yea my flat should be fine." She set co-ordinates on her manipulator then grabbed Mickey's hand and held it to the wristband. "Ready?" But before he could ask what she was doing they zapped through the Vortex and arrived in Rose's flat seconds after she'd left.

"Ow. What was that?!" exclaimed Mickey.

"Vortex Manipulator, now, you wanted to talk."

"Yea, Rose we need you; in Pete's world. It's coming Rose, the end of the universe is coming and we need your help to stop it."

Reviews are love!
