Chapter VI:

Rose stepped forward and looked into Gwen's eyes. It seemed that Gwen did not remember her. Well who could blame her it had technically been over 100 years since they last saw each other.

A flash of light had hit the ground in between Gwen and Rose and it seemed like something changed Gwen. She looked around her as if she had just arrived in a new world.

The Doctor, Jack and Rose jumped when the light hit the ground. They knew something had changed Gwen but they couldn't see it yet. All of a sudden Gwen said "Rose? What happened? I thought I was closing the rift, but it's all so hazy!" Rose held Gwen's shoulders to calm her down. "Gwen? Do you remember what you've done for the past couple of years?" Gwen looked at Jack, she felt compelled to hug him but didn't, instead she just said "Yes, well somewhat… I know that you are Jack Harkness and that we are in Cardiff…. with Torchwood?"

Jack looked relieved yet the Doctor was concerned. "Gwen? Can you tell me how you got here, I mean in this century?" The Doctor asked quizzically. Gwen looked at the Doctor. She was confused usually Rose is with The Doctor but who was this man standing in front of her? "I'm sorry do I know you sir?" Gwen asked.

The Doctor looked her in the eye and said "it's me Gwen, The Doctor, I've just changed my form." She looked to Rose and Jack for confirmation. They both nodded. " Well I have seen a lot of crazy things in the last year… so I guess you are The Doctor!" Gwen shook his hand.

Jack moved up to Gwen and asked her "So you do remember me? You haven't just forgotten everything we have done together?" Rose eyed Jack suspiciously. "She's been in a daze the whole time Jack, have you ever noticed if she zones out for a couple minutes?" The Doctor butted in.

"Yeah, she is known for zoning out while doing reports. Well that's a relief. I thought I would have to work hard to get you back to normal. You remember Tosh, Owen, Ianto, Suzie, and ---- Rhys?" At the name Rhys, Jack shuddered, Rhys was Gwen's boyfriend. "Yes, I remember everyone at Torchwood, and when you told me you could never die!" Gwen remarked.

Rose looked at Jack with a question in her eyes. He gave her a look that told her he would fill her in later. "You remember the Daleks? Don't you Rose? The heart of the Tardis and all that mumbo jumbo." Jack asked. Rose nodded her head. He understood now.

The Doctor winced at this statement. He hadn't wanted Rose to look into the heart of the Tardis because it was the whole of time and space. It would have been way too much for her to handle. It was known that no human could survive looking into it… yet she did. This made him think.

Just then a loud bang was heard from the direction of the Tardis. Rose and The Doctor looked in the direction the noise came from. They both had significant connections to the time machine. Jack and Gwen perked up too. They followed Rose and The Doctor as fast as they could.

It was about a mile toward the Tardis, but The Doctor and Rose were determined to get there. They turned onto a side street and it was then that they bumped into Martha and Donna. Both completely out of breath and in shock.
