Chapter 2:

Rose ran to The Doctor as fast as she could and threw her arms around him. He hugged her back, thankful she was alive. Rose pulled back and looked at him.

"We gotta get back!" She said, running to Pete for a transporter. The Doctor leaned against the wall.

"We can't," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Rose stopped in her tracks and turned to face him.

"What do you mean?" She asked, worried. The Doctor hit the button and Rose ran at him, petrified. But he didn't vanish like she had feared he would.

"They're dead. The voids fully closed off now," he explained.

"Oh. So you mean we're," Rose swallowed hard.

"We're stuck," The Doctor said. Rose nodded slowly, taking in this new information.

"We'll find a way out. We always do," she said, trying to stay hopeful. The Doctor looked at her, the anger burning in his eyes.

"No Rose! We're stuck! For good! We don't have the TARDIS! We don't have these blasted things!" The Doctor shouted, throwing the transporter across the room. Rose jumped slightly. "We are trapped here in this world with your mother, Mickey, Pete, and Jake!" Rose stood silent, waiting for him to finish. Once he had, she tried her best to smile.

"Yea, but you'll figure something out," she said. The Doctor turned, all his rage glaring through at Rose.

"Will you stop it? Yes, I'm clever! Yes, I'm brilliant! But I'm not a miracle worker! So just shut up, Rose!" He shouted. Rose's eyes immediately filled with tears. He'd never yelled at her like that before. She swallowed hard.

"I always thought you were," she said as the tears began to fall. The Doctor's face softened quickly and he reached out for her. Rose stepped back and ran from the room. Jackie glared at The Doctor before chasing after her.

"What'd you have to do that for?" Pete yelled at The Doctor as he ran for Jackie. The Doctor looked at Mickey and Jake.

"I was upset," he said, shrugging helplessly. He slid down the wall until he was sitting. Mickey turned to Jake.

"Go call for a car," he told the other boy. Jake nodded and walked out of the room. Mickey made his way to where The Doctor was and sat beside him. "Crazy day."

"Why'd I say all that? She'll never forgive me! I'm gonna be stuck in this world without my TARDIS or my," he stopped short and glanced at Mickey.

"Without your Rose?" Mickey asked, a coy smile on his face. The Doctor looked the other way. "She'll forgive you soon enough. Until then you'll stay with them at the manor. Jackie and Pete won't be happy about it but Rose won't put you on the street no matter how mad she is," Mickey told him.

"But what do I do about Rose?" The Doctor asked, rising to his feet. He walked over to the window and looked down. Rose sat on a bench as Jackie and Pete argued to the side.

"You wait till you're alone with her," Mickey started as he rose to his feet as well. "Then you apologize to her." The Doctor nodded slowly as Rose looked up at him.
