"I have no idea, but we'd better keep running!"
But the Doctor wasn't listening. The ninth Doctor sprinted off down the street, but the Doctor wasn't listening. He could hear the Daleks screaming for his extermination, but he wasn't listening. Because, all he was doing, all he could bring himself to do, was watch what was across the road.
Rose.
His Rose.
"She's not real, it's just an illusion, come on!" the ninth Doctor was desperate now. Either these Daleks (which he knew weren't real) or that hideous monster that was on their tale (that seemed to be mainly real, judging by its roar), was going to get them. And his idiot replacement was staring at the fake Rose standing across the road.
"You couldn't say it. You never would," Rose called.
Jeez, the ninth Doctor thought, she doesn't even sound real. This guy must be a total sucker. But it seemed that, what the fake Rose had said really struck a chord. A tear ran down the Doctor's face.
"I'm sorry," He screamed, and the ninth Doctor knew that he meant it. But Rose just turned around, watching as another Doctor walked to her, took her hand and pulled her into a kiss, just like the one they'd shared on Bad Wolf Bay after the other Doctor had whispered to her that he loved her. They turned to leave.
"No, Rose, come back! Please!" he was on the ground now, sobbing, as if he was in physical pain. The destruction around him didn't matter – Indiana was being destroyed by Daleks as they watched – It was his rejection by Rose that was killing him. The monster was roaring louder now.
"We've got to get out of here!" the ninth Doctor screamed. He'd had enough of this guy's visions and illusions. He dragged him, literally kicking and screaming, into an unused carpark and they began to open the back of a van. Only, once they got in, both men knew that this was no van.
"What's the TARDIS console room doing in the back of a truck in abandoned Indiana?" the ninth Doctor asked, knowing that another trip down memory lane for his weeping successor was getting too close for comfort.
"Shhhh... I know what this is."
"I thought we'd try the planet Felspoon first..."
