[Interlude: Rose in Pete's World]

Roses's POV

I hate this beach, I think as I end up once again at Darlig Ulv Stranden for what seems like the billionth time in the 4 years I've been in Pete's world since the stars went out. I keep being pulled here, like some invisible force is dragging me here, whether I like it or not. All I know is that everytime I come here, tragedy follows. This time I am here because it is still the spot of a tiny scar in the universe, where there once was a crack between Pete's World and the Prime Universe. It is as close as we can get to Alan Noble's home universe to bury him. The Doctor thought that Alan would be an exact replacement of him and that we would grow old together – ha! We didn't because Alan wasn't an exact replacement of him, he had so much of Donna's personality. We were best friends, though. The terrible part is he died because of being born through a meta-crisis – he told me ages ago that the Doctor would have had to erase Donna's memory because of the stress of a time lord brain shoved into hers. Well it took longer for him, but eventually Alan's mind began to burn. There was nothing we could do. So that is how I ended up back on this accursed beach.

A year after I came back to Pete's world, I developed an odd emptiness – like it was wrong that I was in this universe. I had always known this, but it was a fact in my brain, and even that would go away after I got used to the differences in Pete's World. But this was a whole new sensation, it was like every sense in my body would not stop telling me that Pete's World was not right.

I sit on the beach for ages after the funeral – for all of the sadness that has happened here, this place still holds hope. I am staring out at sea, when I notice an odd blue glow. Suddenly, it feels like someone is trying to rip out my brain. Through the haze of the pain, I search to see if I can find the source of the glow. I soon find a crack full of time energy, right where the Doctor appeared in hologram form so many years ago – back when I was the naive shopgirl. Without even thinking, I begin to walk towards the crack. It seems to be calling to me. And that's when I hear a faint voice in the back of my head This is the only way, my Flower, for you to be with our Thief. If you wish to come back all you need to do is walk through the crack. I will protect you. It is the TARDIS. I quickly text Mom and Pete and tell them, then I walk through the crack.

[Third Person POV]

Sometime later Jackie and Pete Tyler receive a text from a number they don't know, explaining that some girl has found a way to get back to her true love and she is sorry to leave her parents like this. They shrug it off, and go back to doting on their one and only child, Tony Tyler. Later, they will not be able to find the text, although they will remember it.

[Rose's POV]

The dimension cannon taught me years ago what it was like to travel dimensions without a capsule. What happened to me after entering the crack was worse than anything. When I entered the crack, at first, all I could feel was the feeling of being in the void, my whole existence being erased. Then just a few thoughts drifted into my mind, the Doctor's thoughts, and he was thinking about how he wanted me with him. The Doctor's thoughts soon began to fight the nature of the crack itself, pulling me slowly into the Prime universe. When I came close enough the TARDIS was able to contribute to the pull, simultaneously pulling me through the time vortex as well as the void. Needless to say, it was hell. I passed out.

When I woke up, I realized I had memories that I didn't recognize. I felt weird too, but that could wait for later. I woke up in a large, strange room. I hear a voice that makes my blood run cold.

"No…no, no, please, please don't. No, don't. Don't…. please don't! Please!" A man begs – I know his voice...He is that man – Donna's Grandfather – from when I first landed in Prime after the Daleks moved Earth.

Then I hear the Doctor, "Wilfred…it's my honour. Better be quick."

"Three." I spy a door on the other side of the room, close to where all of the voices are coming from.

"Two." I open the door slowly, trying to assess the danger.

"One." I see the Doctor trade places with Donna's Grandfather. Whatever is going on, it is not good, the Doctor is falling to his knees in agony. I see the Doctor putting himself in grave danger and I just act. I race across the room, and I step inside of the booth and press the button. Then I feel it – a very odd feeling, like I can feel every cell in my body burning and expanding. It's like an electrical shock, a very painful electrical shock. I figure out what I just got myself into – radiation – even though I have no clue how I know that. I can feel my cells dying. Somewhere in this process I start to scream. I fall to the floor and the world goes black.
