The ringtone woke her up. It was around midnight, for a moment she lost her bearings. There wasn't any moon out that night, so her room was pitch black. It took her a moment to realize the flashing light and annoying ringing was her phone. Only one person could be calling at this hour. Groggily Rose picked up the phone.

"Doctor do you know what time it is over here?" She mumbled into the speaker.

"Rose?" his voice was quiet, sad. It reminded Rose of her first Doctor, when he was reminded of Gallifrey. How he would try to cover his feelings. She used to fall for the unemotional bit, but not anymore. She knew him too well now to know his true feelings.

"Doctor what is it?" She asked awake now, "What's wrong?"

"I just wanted to talk to you. You know it gets lonely here in the TARDIS."

"Doctor don't play that with me, really what's wrong?" She heard him take in a shaky breath.

"Um, I only have one phone call." She could've sworn his voice broke.

"What? What happened to you?"

"I've been captured Rose." There was a slight pause… "I don't think I'm going to make it out alive."

"WHAT?" She almost yelled sitting straight up in bed.

"You sound like me Rose." He said, but Rose was in no mood for humor.

"But you can't!" She cried, "You just can't!"

"I know." Was his reply. "It's the Daleks." He sighed, instantly regretting it, realizing it was getting hard to breath. "There back."

"But you sent them to hell!"

"And you turned them to dust; we never can get rid of them can we? They say that if I won't help them then I am "Invaluable", and therefore must be EXTERMINATED." He attempted to impersonate them at the exterminate bit, but his chest was hurting too much, and it didn't come out right.

"But you'll regenerate won't you?" She asked. After all a new new new doctor would be better that none at all.

"No, I won't. My second heart isn't working, that's why I I'm having trouble breathing. I only have one heart working. And unless I can get it to start again I won't be able to regenerate." And for once the Doctor allowed himself to sound defeated. His one advantage- gone.

"But Doctor, Isn't there anything you can do? You always get out of it!" She begged desperately.

"Maybe. I'm working on it, but the chances are slim to none. I just wanted to talk to you in case it's my last chance."

"But you can't."

"Listen, I'm not sure if my plan is going to work, but if I'm lucky, if I'm very very lucky and it does, I'll call you as soon as I' m able..If it doesn't…"

"It will." She insisted.

"Rose. If it doesn't, if I don't call after 3 days you'll know ok?" there was the some sort of noise from the background. She instantly recognized it as the Daleks. Then the Doctor said,

"I have to go, wish me luck." Her reply was half hearted; she tried to sound brave but failed.

"I love you Rose Tyler, remember that. He pleaded. Then he was gone.

Three days, and no phone call later Rose had gone into a state of depression, possibly even worse then when she was stranded on this parallel earth for the first time. At least then the Doctor was alive, and there was a small chance he could come back, but now even that little glimpse of hope was gone.
