Disclaimer: I hope you liked the last chapter. This one takes place in the middle of the bad wolf battle on satellite 5. Again, I don't own anything but Sarah. Enjoy!

Rose's POV

I couldn't help but cry as the TARDIS landed back in London. He had sent me back. I know he only wanted to keep me safe, but I'd rather die there with him than have to live here without him. There had to be some way to get back. But even if there was, I couldn't figure it out. I had pressed every button and flipped every switch there was.

Mickey found me eventually. I told him what happened. He listened as I babbled on and when I was done he took me to find my mother. The two of them took me out for chips. They were trying to cheer me up with normal conversation, but it wasn't working. After a while, I couldn't take it and I lost it. I shouted at them and stormed out.

I didn't know where I planned on going. Somehow I found myself heading in the direction of the TARDIS. I was about halfway there when I got sidetracked by a slightly familiar looking cloud of smoke and light.

Sarah's POV

I coughed and sputtered as the vortex manipulator deposited me in a not so gentle way on a London street. I grabbed onto the nearest sturdy object to steady myself as the world came into focus. Just like I'd been told, it was a cheap and nasty form of time travel.

I looked around to try and establish when I was this time. I never should've taken the vortex manipulator without knowing how to use it. From what I could tell, it was the early 21st century. There was no way to tell the exact date without a newspaper or something. I decided to simply ask. Luckily enough, I recognized the first person I saw and she saw me too.

"Hey!" she called. "It's Sarah right?" She ran over to me and I sighed. She obviously had only seen me a few times at this point.

"Hi Rose," I smiled. "Nice to see you again. You wouldn't happen to know the date would you?" She shook her head.

"I haven't been here too long myself," she admitted. "And finding out the date has been the least of my concerns. You wouldn't happen to know how to fly the TARDIS would you?"

"Fly the TARDIS?" I asked. "Why would you ask me that? Did something happen?" she shook her head and turned away slightly.

"I was just curious," she said. I raised an eyebrow at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I walked over to a bench and sat.

"What are you not telling me?" I asked patted the seat next to me. She sighed and reluctantly sat down.

"Let's just say that the Doctor did something I didn't like," she told me. "I know he was trying to keep me safe, but I hate it when he does things without my consent."

"Oh," I replied. "He sent you away, didn't he?" She nodded. "Well I'm sure you'll find a way back to him. You always do. Quick question, has he….changed since I last saw him? You know, in the appearance department."

"Changed?" she asked. "No. At least I don't think so. Why do you ask? Is something going to happen?"

"It's nothing," I replied. "I was just wondering. Trying to figure out exactly where you are. I'm pretty sure I know what's going to happen next."

"Oh yeah?" she said, letting a small smile escape. "Why don't you tell me then? I'd sure like to know how this turns out."

"Can't do that," I smiled. "Spoilers as my step mum would call them. Bits of the future that shouldn't be told until their time."

"Is that why you won't tell me anything about yourself?" she asked.

"Yes," I replied. "But you'll find out soon enough. Given the current situation I'd say about three days' time, maybe even less."

"I'm holding you to that," she warned. "If you're wrong then I'm coming to find you and you have to tell me everything."

"I doubt you can do that," I told her. "This might be the last time I see you, but not the last time you'll see me. I can guarantee it."

"I'm not sure I believe you," she admitted. "How can a little girl know so much about my future?"

"Hey," I protested. "I'm almost seventeen. I'm no little girl. But it'll all make sense soon. I promise. Why don't you go back to the TARDIS and see what you can do. I think you might be surprised." With that I activated my vortex manipulator and left her on her own.
