Hello again! I'm having to write this chapter quickly as I want to get this one outta the way, as I think I owe some explaining. This bit I'm writing before school, so it could be a few days after my first chapter. Ok, so here goes! This chapter will be mainly dialogue, it'll pick up in the next chapter.
Sarah Jane froze. She must be dreaming. Rose Tyler was in her attic. It was completely illogical. The last time she'd met the Doctor, he hadn't said anything about Rose, so Sarah Jane had assumed something bad had happened to her and he hadn't wanted to talk about it. But here she was, standing bold as brass with a huge grin on her face…
"Who the hell are you?", Clyde spoke uneasily. Sarah Jane realised that Clyde and Rani wouldn't know who Rose was, they would think her an imposter.
Sarah Jane spoke up quickly, "Clyde, Rani, this is Rose Tyler. She used to travel with the Doctor.", she looked at Rose questionably.
"Yep, I travelled with him for about two years, then…", she trailed off awkwardly.
"What happened?", Rani asked sympathetically, she seemed to trust Rose.
"Long story, very painful, not physically painful…but mostly better now."
She turned to Sarah Jane, "Last time I saw you was…oh…gotta be 'bout two years ago, yeah?"
"Something like that, yes.", Sarah Jane was still confused, "How did you even end up in here, I locked the door."
"Oh, I'm pretty handy with locks! No seriously, I don't really know how. I was walking along a beach, and suddenly I was here. Like the whole Donna-alternate-reality-thing all over again."
"The whole what?" Sarah Jane had no idea what Rose was talking about.
"Oh, sorry, forgot you didn't know about that. Basically, a whole other timeline for this companion, Donna Noble, was created, one when she never met the Doctor, and he died. Without him, the world was being destroyed. But good old Donna, she came with me, and created a diversion so she would turn the right way and meet the Doctor. I was also able to pass on a message, Bad Wolf.", seeing Rani and Clyde's confused glances, she explained, "It means the end on the universe."
She looked at Sarah Jane, "That's where you came in. Harriet Jones was able to contact you on the Subwave Network, and build up a resistance. When you met me for the second time, I had been away from the Doctor for ages, and I found him again. But then, you wouldn't have known 'bout it, he dropped me off at the parallel universe I'd been stuck in, with his duplicate, said he'd committed genocide and that I could make him better. I was living my life with 'im, wanted to gather my thoughts so I took a walk along Bad Wolf Bay. I saw a blue light and went for it, it was as if I couldn't do anythin' else, yeah? And suddenly I was here. I knew from all the stuff in here the owner knew about aliens, and you came back and 'ere we are!", Rose finished with a flourish. She took a deep breath, "So, have you seen 'im? How is 'e?"
"Oh, good! Still crazy as per usual." Sarah Jane dreaded having to say this next part, so casually she added, "He's changed his face again, you know."
Rose's face fell for a second, but then she giggled, "How does 'e look this time around?"
"A bit younger, even more eccentric, if you could believe it!"
While Sarah Jane and Rose were cheerfully talking about the Doctor, Clyde and Rani listening confusedly, Rani realised something.
"Um…guys? Rose said she came through from another universe, so isn't there now a crack that we need to close?"
Clyde looked impressed, "How did you know that?"
"Oh, you know, taking notes, like all good journalists.", she shot Sarah Jane a grin, and Sarah Jane smiled too.
Clyde cleared his throat, "So, shall we go a-crack-hunting?"
"But it could be hidden anywhere on the Earth! How will we search it before it becomes very, very noticeable? Like, end of the world noticeable?", Rani reasoned.
"Oh, easy!", Rose exclaimed, "As I work for Torchwood in the other universe, I have a teleport bracelet. Just hold on to it and don't let go!", she laughed, shaking back her sleeve to reveal a beautiful bracelet with a face. "And off we go!"
