How can you not notice?

How can you not notice the disturbance in the peaceful atmosphere?

How can you not notice the hiccups of the usually smooth journey?

How can you not notice the intense heat building up around you?

How can you not notice it?

And somehow; he'd only noticed at the very last second. He couldn't remember much;
Only running towards the main console of his precious Tardis,
Only crying out when his hand met with the burning copper like metal of the control panel,
Only crashing hard on the floor as the sickening feeling of descent reached his body,
He only remembered one thing after that...darkness...

Doctor's POV

Owww...I swear in all the years of managing travel of time and space; I've never felt anything as intense as that hit!
What was that anyway? One minute I'm musing to myself and the next...whoosh!! I'm being burned and thrown about in the time stream by my own Tardis!
I wander over to the machine's main console, warilly placing my hand upon the copper; cool now, no more burning heat it seems, good, maybe I can get myself back up into time stream. I press a few buttons...
...And now, said machine won't respond to me...argh! The system's got to reboot...
I don't know...such advanced technology, yet it takes longer to power up than the old 1970's computer systems.
But then again...it wasn't built, it was grown...I have to remember that...

Where am I anyway?
It can't hurt to take a look, now can it?...

As I step outside, the cold air immediately hits me! It's freezing!
Brightly coloured decorations surround the place in a mix of green, red, golden, white and blue clinging to the outside of buildings...Christmas, it's Christmas again. Christmas in London so it seems...in a too familiar spot...

I remember this spot...why am I here?
The place I used to meet her from, every day nearly...Rose...oh Rose, what's brought me to this spot? And why? You're not--is that a zepheline?!
It can't be, it shouldn't be but it is! Oh my god, it is!
This is impossible!
There are no zephelines in the middle of London! There aren't any in the UK in general actually!

I can't believe it...I'm...where Rose is, that alternate dimension...but god...shouldn't the universe implode now?! Or did I make that up?...To mask the pain I was feeling...the fear of permanently losing her?...

I sigh, shaking my head. Can't get back until the Tardis reboots, god knows how long that'll take...

"Dad."

What?

"Dad."

That link...that feeling, it's so strong now!

"Dad."

So strong, so painful...so unsettling...

"Dad find me."

Is this what brought me here?
Is this what's prolonging the Tardis' booting system?
Is this...is this what the face of Boe meant?..."you are not alone."
Or is this my own hopes rising up, only to be shattered once more?

"Dad. Come to me. Find me."

Oh it's so strong now...so needy...

"Dad you can't leave yet. Find me. Find her. Dad."

Does my child know how much this hurts? How painful in longing this feels?

"Dad. Daddy."

"I'm coming." it hurts to be alone.

It hurts me...

I can feel it hurts you too...

I'm coming. I'm here. You won't be alone for long, I promise.

Just as he made this promise to himself, to them both, the sound of a glass smashing behind him could be heard.

The skinny man whirled around, and what he came face to face with was what looking into a variated mirror must have been like.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the child spoke first

"I've been calling you."
