Rose's POV:

We race back to the place where we talked to the girl. What is happening? Isn't this supposed to be a 'planet of love'? Shouldn't people be happy here?

We reach the place where she was.

There's nothing here.

The Doctor and I search the area. After a couple minutes, we meet back up.
"Nothing. Are you sure we're in the right place?" I ask.

"Yeah, we passed exactly 67 rows of roses when we ran here. This is where she was," the Doctor answers.

"But she can't be gone. The scream came from here. And I've watched enough detective movies to be able to know what signs of struggle look like."

The Doctor raises an eyebrow. "Detective movies?"

"Shut up."

"Well, you're right. It doesn't look like anyone dragged her away or anything, but where is she?" he wonders.

"Well, I'm going to check again. I'll be back here in 5 minutes." I announce, heading over to another row of roses.

Doctor's POV:

"Don't wander too far!" I holler after Rose.

Then something in the grass catches my eye.

I kneel down. It flashes in the sunlight, tiny little specks of dust in the grass.

No, not dust, glitter.

The ground around me is covered in glitter. Blue glitter.

This is the exact spot where the blue girl was.

She said she could never watch telly again. She was scared. Scared because she got dumped.

This is a planet for lovers. Only lovers are here.

The realization hits me so hard, it feels like the time the TARDIS fell through the fabric of reality into parallel London. This is a planet of love. Fighting is not allowed.

And I just had a fight with Rose.

"Rose!" I cry, charging in the direction she went.

I stop and look around. A sparkle catches my eye.

I am standing in a patch of glitter. Red glitter, like a rose.

I collapse onto the grass, my tears falling on the ground around me, mixing with the glitter. I lie there, mourning, until I notice something on my hand.

Brown glitter. Brown, the color of my hair, my eyes, and my suit.

I should be worried. But instead, I just watch, numbly, as my hand dissolves into glitter, which mixes with the red glitter on the ground.

I should regenerate. I need to regenerate.

I watch the two glitter colors mix on the ground. I think of what would happen if I didn't regenerate.

We would be together forever.

But no, I have to go on. I have to avenge Rose.

I have to figure out who did this.

Then I realize I'm not in the rose garden anymore.

Rose's POV:

Where is that girl? I wonder, Did something happen to her?

Is she dead?

I don't want to think about that possibility.

I already checked here. I just wanted to be alone.

I lower myself down to the ground and hug my knees to my chest. Tears slip down my face silently, leaving streaks in my makeup like rivers on my face.

I thought summoning the Doctor back to me would be perfect. Now that I can't age, I thought we could be together forever.

But in getting him back, I have pushed him farther away than he has ever been.

I barely even notice when my tears and the legs they fall on turn into bright red glitter.

Hey guys! So this chapter was kind of short, I know, but the ending seemed like a good ending for a chapter (cliffhanger. You hate me now, don't you? XD) so I just went with a short chapter.

Also, recently I've been doing (almost) daily updates. This was because I already had 2 or 3 chapters ready to upload when I uploaded chapter 1. My chapters will probably come a little less often, depending on how much homework I have and how much stuff I have to do. I will still try to update at least once a week, though.
