"What do you mean?" Donna said, shaken.

"She wanted to go back. I'm not gonna stop her," he said, his voice cold and quite frightening. Donna didn't know what to say. She thought that he loved Rose, but there he was, refusing to go and get her.

"But you have to get her!" Donna cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was never going to see Rose again! She went crazy, slamming down the controls, pushing every button.

"Bring her back! Bring her back!" she shouted. The Doctor tried to restrain her, but Donna struggled free.

"I don't understand! You...you loved her..." Donna trailed off, finally calming down.

"I can't bring her back. It would rip a whole in the universes. I'm not gonna risk it," he said.

"Even for Rose?" Donna asked softly. He didn't look at her, and didn't answer. Donna sighed, and walked back to her room. It had been such a great night! She had been out with this fab bloke, and everything was all well and dandy, but then the Doctor had to open his big gob and send Rose back to the parallel universe. It just wasn't fair!

Rose arrived in the middle of London, by the Thames. She looked around, and there they were, the blimps, high in the sky. She was home. Wiping the mascara from her cheeks, she set off down a street, hoping to find her way back to see her family.

Martha was awoken by the telephone. Tom answered, and shoved the phone into her hand.

"It's for you," he yawned, and pulled the covers over his body again. Martha rubbed her eyes.

"Hello?" she said sleepily.

"Martha! Oh my god, Rose has gone! The Doctor and her had an argument and then she just vanished! I tried to persuade him, but he just won't listen! Oh my god, Martha, help me!" Donna burbled down the phone.

"Alright, alright, Donna! Calm down! What do you mean Rose has gone?" Martha frowned, hoping that Donna was just drunk.

"I dunno. One minute she was there, and the next...poof! She was gone..." Donna sobbed. Martha felt the tears prick at the back of her eyes.

"So...she's gone?" she asked, just to make sure.

"Yes..." Martha gasped, and Tom looked up at her, concerned.

"What's wrong?" he mouthed, but Martha was too busy listening to Donna.

"I know that you're pregnant and all, so you don't need to help. But we need Rose to come back! And the Doctor wants her back too, he just doesn't know it yet. I just have to figure out how to reach her...you don't suppose UNIT could help?" Donna asked.

"Unfortunately, no. This is for personal reasons, not because the world is about to implode. I'm, sorry, but there is nothing that we can do, except wait and see if Rose changes her mind," Martha wiped her tears away and sighed. Donna nodded, although Martha couldn't see her.

"Ok. Thanks, anyway. I'm sorry I woke you," Donna said, and she said goodbye. Martha put the phone down, and turned to her husband.

"Rose had gone," she said simply, and Tom cradled her as she fell asleep.

Rose walked up the drive of her parents house. It was still huge, and her dad's jeep was still parked outside. She smiled as she knocked on the brass wooden door.

"Pete, I'm busy with Lily, could you get that?" Rose heard her mum cry. Rose was taken aback. She hadn't heard that voice in what felt like ages. She straightned herself out as she heard heard the door unlock. Pete popped his head around.

"Hi...Rose?" he said woth disbelief. Jackie walked through to the hall.

"Well hurry up Pete, you're letting the draft come in...Oh my god!" she cried, and grabbed Rose into a hug.

"What are you doing here? Not that I'm complaining!" Jackie asked, as she ushered her daughter inside.

"Where's the Doctor?" Pete shut the door and frowned. Rose just looked at him, and he instantly knew that it was a sore subject. She wandered into the kitchen, where her beautiful little sister was eating breakfast.

"Hello Lily!" she cooed, and planted a kiss on her forehead. Lily squealed and started giggling. She loved Rose so much! Jackie, happy that her daughter was back, was still concerned.

"Rose, darling, listen to me. Why are you back?" Jackie asked again. Rose took a deep breath.

"Well, it all began when..."
