Rose landed on a street, which looked a lot like the one she had fought the Adipose on. There were UNIT soldiers everywhere all holding guns. One soldier started to talk into a radio.
''Sir. The Doctor is in the Basement fighting off the spiders.''
''Alone?'' came a voice from the radio.
''Yes. He was a complete wreck when he went in. Kept on telling me he lost someone, but he wouldn't say who.'' said the soldier.
Rose legged it towards a building that was closed off by barriers. She had to get in there, even if he wasn't her universe. The Doctor was on a suicide mission, blinded by grief, and she had to stop him.
She ran up to a woman standing behind the barrier. There were two soldiers carrying somebody out of the building on a stretcher.
''What did they find? Who was in there?'' she asked the woman.
''Oh. Umm...They found a man called the doctor,'' the woman replied.
''Really? Where is he? Where did he go?''
''Well...They took him away.'' She looked Rose up and down with a sympathetic smile.
''What? Why did they do that?'' Rose braced herself for the truth.
''He's dead,'' the woman said ''Oh I'm so sorry. Did you know him?''
Rose watched as they carried his body into the ambulance. A hand peeked out from under the covers, and his sonic screwdriver fell to the ground. The Woman put a hand on her arm, trying to comfort her.
She looked the woman up and down, she seemed familiar, very familiar. ''That bin there, alright? It will make sense! That bin there!'' The words of an extremely happy woman echoed in her mind.
''Oh no. No, no, no. I wasn't...I'm not even supposed to be here. This is wrong. This is so, so wrong.'' Rose felt her gut wrench. For the first time in ages, she felt helpless ''What did you say your name was?''
''I'm Donna, Donna Noble. And you?''
''Oh I was just...I'm not even supposed to be here, I was just passing by.'' Rose decided not to say her name. The wrong word in the wrong place could lead to a paradox.
She heard a clicking noise coming from behind Donna. She looked over her shoulder and saw...nothing. How odd.
''Why are you looking at my back?'' asked Donna.
''I'm not.'' she said, quickly.
''Yeah right! Everyone keeps doing that. Is there something there?'' Donna frantically brushed at her back.
''No...It's just-'' Rose tried to calm her.
''Why don't you tell me your name?'' Donna asked, aggressively.
''Oh God. This is so wrong. I have to...'' Rose cut herself off as Donna looked over at the destroyed building.
Now was the time to run. As she ran, Rose could feel herself tingling again. Just like the last time she got pulled through time and space. '
''Aah Brilliant!'' she muttered to herself ''Where are you takin' me now?''
Rose closed her eyes, and didn't scream, as she got pulled through reality. Again.
---------------------------------------------------------
Rose almost fell over as she violently landed in an alleyway. A bright flash of blue light appeared as she was chucked out and stumbled on to a street.
''Blimey! Are you alright?'' came a concerted voice from in front of her.
''Well...that was funny. I was just...Walking along.'' Rose looked up to see a concerned Donna Noble looking down at her.
''Hang On. It's You! I've seen you before!'' Donna pointed at Rose.
''Oh hey! Donna! How are you? You're looking good!'' Rose knew she was there for a reason, but she couldn't figure out what.
''But you're still wearing the same clothes! I haven't seen you in a year and you're still wearing the same clothes!'' Donna cried, confused.
''What are you doing for Christmas?'' Rose asked. The words just seemed to come out of her mouth.
''Christmas? Christmas was two months ago!'' Donna yelled.
''Next Christmas, then?'' Rose knew what she was doing now.
''I'm...well, i don't know. Hadn't really thought about it,'' Donna's eyebrows furrowed ''Why don't you tell me your name...''
''But you've got that raffle ticket. First prize a Christmas break in a 5 star hotel.'' Rose had looked into Donna's past to find this out. She just had a feeling that Donna needed to get away.
''But how did you-'' Donna stuttered.
''Use it wisely, Donna Noble. Take the first prize and run. Christmas Eve.'' Rose tried to sound kind, but her voice came out all commanding time goddish.
Donna clearly didn't like being told what to do. She crossed her arms and walked up to Rose.
''I think you'd better leave me alone.'' Donna said, threateningly.
Donna started walking away and Rose felt herself tingling again. But this time, she wasn't angry at being pulled. She knew this had a purpose.
When Donna Noble turned round to confront Rose again, she had vanished.
