Wow! All I can say is wow! I usually only update once a week, but after only one chapter all of the followers I got gave me a boost to write more. Martha seems to not be as bad as I thought; it is nice to see the Doctor happyish. Still don't like her much though. Her attitude kills me, not five minutes into the episode; she brought up Rose in a negative way and considered herself the rebound. Nope and nope. Special thanks to:

Rose
Rose sat at her computer desk tapping her pencil. Ever since she got locked in this dimension against her will, all she did was work on finding the TARDIS. Pete had continued his work from before, Jackie ever faithful worked right by his side. Mickey was off chasing the Cybermen, he had asked Rose to join him since all she did was work, but she was hell bent on finding him. "Ugh," she shouted at the monitor. Once again the scan came up negative. "Why can't you find him? He gave you to me. I used you once before to call the TARDIS to me, please," she whispered at the tiny key suspended in the blue infrared lights. "Rose dear, please come eat at least. All you do is stare at that screen sweetie. I know what he said, but you haven't had any contact in almost a year," Jackie whined at her daughter. It was difficult seeing her daughter this way, when the Doctor first brought her back she was happy and healthy. Now, her daughter was thinning, wasting away before her eyes. No longer did her blonde hair shine in the sun, it was dull and flat. Rose was killing herself, looking for her true love.
"Mum, I can't just give up. You know, he kind of has a set of rules for himself. When he drops off a companion somewhere, he never looks back, and he never goes back for them. Well you see, on more than one occasion he came back for me mum, and his word is gold. It's just taking longer than we thought it would is all," Rose said as she choked back tears. As much as she wanted to believe everything she said, she knew the rules of time and space travel. "Aw sweetie there are so many others. What about Mickey?" Rose giggled a little, "Mum, Mickey and I are doing better as friends. I love Mickey and I know he loves me, but I am in love with the Doctor and his life, do you understand?" Jackie sighed, "No. I really don't. The man can change his face. How do you know he hasn't already come back and passed by you and ignored you?" Rose slammed her spoon down on the table, "That's just like you mum! Always see the negative outcome! The Doctor will come. I was there at his last death and birth, and if he changed his face so be it, but he will always be my Doctor. He would never, ever, just pass me by." With that she returned to her desk, once again to search her universe for a blue box that just isn't there.
Doctor
He sat there, clutching Rose's sweater to his chest. The TARDIS was hurtling to the farthest corner of the universe, just passed where Gallifrey once was. The Doctor hadn't been out this way since the Time War, and he really didn't want to be heading out there now, but Rose was important to him. Suddenly, the TARDIS turned sharply, dumping him off his chair. "Awww old girl why are you changing your mind? I know there isn't a home for us out there, but hey, have you already forgotten our Rose," the Doctor cooed at the TARDIS. She responded by gently landing. The Doctor groaned and growled as he put on his overcoat and walked out. A blazing sun greeted his skin. A quick analysis of his surroundings tells him he is about 2 blocks from Rose's old apartment. Turning on his heel to face the TARDIS he questioned, "Really? I know you miss her too, but why bring me here?" He stood there stroking the blue wood lovingly before heading off to Rose's apartment.
Luckily for him, Pete had purchased it for Jackie shortly before his passing. The Doctor couldn't bear having the authorities take possession of the home, so shortly after Jackie and Rose were locked away into the other dimension, he had returned here and with the help of his psychic paper, secured the idea that the Tyler family were on a holiday. He hesitated at her door slightly before pulling out his sonic screwdriver and unlocking it. The apartment was cold. He hadn't realized how warm Jackie had kept it before. The sonic screwdriver was blinking like mad. He let it lead him all through the vacant apartment, that is until it stopped outside her room. "Oh no no no no. That is her room. Forget it," he warned as he started to turn away. Something told him that he should stay though, so he pressed forward. As soon as he opened her door, he understood why the TARDIS brought him here. Rose's laptop was running a code, but it wasn't a human code. "Oh Rose you brilliant little devil," The Doctor shouted in excitement as he put on his glasses. "Oh Rose, I l—" he stopped himself. Saying it once was enough.
Time pressed on, but he sat there reading the Gallifreyan that danced across her screen. Somehow, Rose was manipulating a crack in time to broadcast a weak signal to her room. The Doctor started scanning the room with his sonic screwdriver. "Something must be here that is linking itself to her, but what?" He almost danced around her room looking for something he recognized from their travels when he saw it: he travel bag. "Oh of course! You have been inside the TARDIS, and I bet Rose has her key still. Oh! I wonder if hmmmm," he turned around to face the computer once more and touched the screen with the screwdriver.
Rose
She had begun to doze off. Transmitting a homing signal across the universe was easy, but trying to find a pocket to another dimension was nearly impossible. Had she been more awake, Rose may have noticed that the key had begun to glow. "Ohhhhhhhhhhh Rose! Wakey wakey," a voice chimed through the speakers, startling her. "What," she responded sleepily. "Rose sweetie look at me," the playful voice chimed again. "Doctor! Doctor how," she questioned. "Oh Rose you don't know your own brilliance! You found another time pocket, and your signal made it through the void! Oh Rose. The TARDIS locked onto it and now I'm in your old apartment," the Doctor shouted playfully into the microphone. It was killing him to not be able to see her, but in time he would hold her again.
"Okay, but Doctor what can we do? I found a tiny hole, but can you find it," she almost whispered at her screen. He was silent. "I don't know yet Rose, I'm working on it. Although I have had quite the adventures! Met a human Dalek I did! It had a heart and everything you would have loved to see it. They even asked for my help! Anyway time for that later, right now, we need to figure out how I can fall into this pocket, and get back out. I've missed you Rose," he said as he chewed on his tongue. "I missed you too. Doctor things are different now. I need you back," she began to cry again. "Oh no don't do that sweetie. You need a clear head. See if you can get an approximate area to where you signal is, because I need to blast a hole there somehow so I can get you and get back. It's going to take time though Rose. My time ticks differently from yours. What has been a year for you only comes out to a few months for me. I promise though, I will come back for you. We are closer than you think because you were smart enough to use the key! I'm so proud Rose," the Doctor said sweetly, giving the monitor his half smile.
"Rose what are you doing," her father questioned as he brought her some tea. "The Doctor, dad he found me! Listen, listen," she squealed and pointed to the screen. "Hi Pete! Taking care of my girl are ya," he asked playfully. Pete eyed his daughter questioningly, who just shrugged and blushed slightly. "Yes Doctor he is. Now what can we do," she asked. "Well Rose that's the beauty of our situation, always has been. What I need you to do is keep broadcasting this code. Don't mind me, but I'm taking your laptop into the TARDIS. She, being my ship don't you dare think I have replaced you, will sort of pinball around some galaxies and planets until we find this pocket. When we get there, I will use the heart to crack it open a bit more, so you guys might feel some earthquake like symptoms, but don't look at the ground for a fault line hint hint! Once I break it open I'll tag it so I can get back to it, but I need to travel to a farther universe to get the technology to be able to transport us and the TARDIS back into my current dimension and seal the time crack. Rose, it has been an honor talking to you again, and lucky for us, if the TARDIS hits the right planet system we will be able to talk like this again, but the faster we get started, the faster our adventures can continue! Allonsy Rose!" Rose laughed even though she was dying on the inside, "Allonsy Doctor! I'll be awaiting your call, don't keep me waiting too long though!" "Ahhh that's my girl Rose," he shouted at the monitor. "I love you Doctor," she whispered passionately to him. The Doctor sighed, "Rose Tyler, I refuse to say that to you again. Once is enough. Now on the other hand, if you give me some time, I can show you instead, but the next time those words leave my lips, you will be in my arms once more. Good bye Rose Tyler." Rose's face fell, "See you soon Doctor, and I'm gonna hold you to it." He chuckled, blew her a kiss, and removed the sonic screwdriver from the screen. "Not soon enough Rose. I'm going to make things right again."

I just want to say thank you once again! You guys are great!
Rose: You know what? They keep on trying to split us up but they never ever will.
The Doctor: Never say never ever.
Rose: Nah, we'll aways be okay, you and me. Don't you reckon Doctor?
The Doctor: There's something in the air. There's something coming.
Rose: What?
The Doctor: A storm's approaching.
Much love Gallifreyans!
