A/N at the bottom

"Hello Doctor." Mickey Smith said.

"Mickey boy!? But it's impossible." Once the Doctor came around to accepting Mickey's presence he added, "How the hell are ya?"

"Been better. Looks like you're getting along just fine." Mickey said staring at Donna and Martha. "Replace us that fast huh?"

The Doctors manic grin was suddenly replaced by a dark look. "Don't start Mickey. It hasn't been easy for me either." His voice was firm and at its most serious tone.

"Oh yeah sure, traveling with two women is such hard work." Mickey shot back. "After spending two years creating a safe way to get here, I've come to find you've moved on and forgotten."

"I've moved forward but have never forgotten." The Doctors glare was icy and adamant, but was replaced by curiosity. "Wait you created a way to travel between the universes?"

"Yeah, not sure if we should have."

"Mickey Smith you and I both know I couldn't forget her if I tried. No one will be able to fill the void that was left when she was taken from me. If I had known any way, any way at all to get to her I would have done so in an instant." The Doctors icy gaze bore into Mickey's equally cold one. This stare down lasted for a few moments before Mickey nodded in agreement. He never once for a second believed the Doctor would replace Rose, but he had to be sure.

"Now then." The Doctor said with his usual upbeat tone. "You must tell me how you created this pass way."

Mickey followed the Doctor back into the TARDIS, where all seemed to remain the same since the last time he was here. "Still bigger on the inside." Mickey thought to himself. He glanced over at Martha and Donna to see he was on the receiving end of curious stares.

"Mickey Smith this is Martha Jones and Donna Nobel. Girls meet Mickey; he traveled with me on occasion."

Mickey nodded politely and removed his heavy cloak. He revealed his Torchwood uniform for which the Doctor said.

"Torchwood? Mickey you're working for them after all they've done?"

"Torchwood is different in the other universe. It's not evil Doctor. In fact Rose and I both work there together. I mean she didn't know about this pass way for quite sometime but-"

"Wait what do you mean other universe?" Donna asked

"Doctor I thought you said it was impossible to travel to the other universes." Martha said

"So I'm the only one who didn't know there were other universes?" Donna interjected.

"Would you both shut up and let him continue!" The Doctor said taking a seat in the captains chair.

"Well if I were to start from the very beginning, it all began about a month after Bad Wolf Bay…"


So its a bit longer, a bit of angstyish stuff in there. How many of you guessed it would be good ole Mickey the Idiot eh? Well I got this idea from a message board poster. They had said there was a possibility (although I highly highly doubt it) Mickey would make a guess apperence next season. Then I came up with this idea, funny how it works. Review please!
