An: get your tissues ready for an emotional goodbye.

~Parallel Torchwood~

"Oh no, you don't", Rose muttered under her breath "He's not doing that to me again". She pressed down on her button and nothing happened. Rose frowned and hit the button again. Still nothing. "No. I can't be stuck here", she said hitting the button a few more times.

Behind her, Naiyah was tucking her sonic back into her pocket. It was for Rose's own good. She was safe here but back in the other world…not so much. Hence why she shorted out the button. Rose tore the button from her neck and threw it on the floor in frustration.

~Lever room~

"Doctor, we've got Cybermen on the way up", Imogen said looking at the computer screen.

"How many floors down?" the Doctor asked running over to look.

"Just one", Imogen replied.


The Doctor tapped in a command on Yvonne's laptop.

Levers operational

The Doctor grinned at that looking at Imogen who responded with her own smile. He picked up a magnaclamp and gave it to her "when you put it on the wall, press the red button", the Doctor instructed.

"Red button. Gotcha", she said. The pair stuck their Magnaclamps on the wall near the levers. "I guess we better get this over with", Imogen said turning back to the Doctor.

"Yeah" he stepped forward, cupped her face and softly kissed her "hold on tight", the Doctor said when he pulled back.

"I will", Imogen promised. They ran over to their respective levers, pushing them up and hurriedly rushed over to the magnaclamps.

Online

The area is filled with the white light once more, a strong wind sweeping out of it, sucking things in. The Daleks flew through the window, smashing through the glass as they were pulled back into the Void. The Doctor and Imogen held onto their clamps tightly, struggling to hold on.

"The breach is open!" the Doctor shouted over the wind "Into the Void! Ha!" He smiled across at Imogen who responded with her own smile. Suddenly there is a small explosion of sparks and the lever on Imogen's side moved back to the off postion, wiping the smiles from both of their faces.

Offline

"Turn it on!" the Doctor called over as the suction started to ease. Tightening her grip on the magnaclamp with one hand, she reached out with the other. Imogen reached as far as she could but the lever was just too far away. She knew the only way to reach it was to let go of the Magnaclamp. Imogen took a breath and let go, wincing as she hit the lever.

The Doctor watched, full of dread as Imogen struggled to push the lever upwards. She gritted her teeth as she pushed the lever up, little by little. Eventually she managed to get it back into the upright position.

Online and locked

The suction in the room increased once more, pulling the Daleks and Cybermen in at a much faster rate. "Gen, hold on!" the Doctor shouted desperately as he was forced to watch, helpless as Imogen clung onto the lever for dear life. But the Void was too strong, it pulled at her making it nearly impossible to hold on. Imogen cried out at the effort to grip the lever.

"Hold on!" the Doctor screamed at her. Imogen tightened her grip even more, determined not to let go not matter how much her body was screaming at her to do so.

Suddenly one of the Daleks that was being sucked in, banged against the wall right in front of her forcing her to let go. She cried out as she was being pulled into the Void, vaguely hearing the Doctor screaming her name. Then the suction stopped, but she was going too fast.

The Doctor flinched as she hit the wall with a sickening thud.

Systems closed

The moment the computer announced that, the Doctor let go of the Magnaclamp, ran over to Imogen's side and dropped to his knees. "No", he breathed seeing the blood on the side of her head that struck the wall "please don't do this to me", he said gently pulling her into his arms, cradling her "please don't leave me".

But Imogen just lay there in his arms, eyes closed and unresponsive.

Behind him there was a flash of blue light and Harmony appeared. Not that the Doctor noticed, he was too preoccupied. He only knew she was there when she placed a hand on his arm. "She's dead", he said quietly not taking his gaze off of Imogen "and it's all my fault. I should've made her go. But I didn't want to be alone"

"She isn't dead yet Doctor", Harmony said making the Time Lord look up at her hopefully. She moved around and knelt down in front of him "I can save her".

"You can?" he asked wondering if he just misheard her.

"I can. That is if you'd let me", Harmony said.

The Doctor looked back down at Imogen then up at Harmony "do it", he said.

"Put her on the floor", Harmony instructed and the Doctor did so. The Doctor's eyes widened when he saw Harmony's hands begin to glow with regeneration energy. "You're going to want to back up a bit", the ginger woman said. The Doctor got to his feet and took several steps back as Harmony leaned over Imogen, placing her glowing hands either side of her head. The girl started to glow faintly as Harmony poured her regeneration energy into her.

When the glow faded, the Doctor watched with baited breath to see if it worked. He let out a sigh of relief when Imogen began to stir. "Harmony?"

"Hey Imogen", Harmony said "how are you feeling?"

"Like I hit a wall", Imogen replied as the Doctor knelt down next to her "lets never do that again", she said noticing him "that was not fun".

"Agreed", the Doctor said. The Doctor helped Imogen to her feet, scooping her up into his arms when her legs gave out. He then walked out of the room, casting one last look at the white wall.

~Dårlig Ulv Stranden~

Rose waited on the beach, where the voices from her dreams had led her. A short way to her left, the Doctor and Imogen appeared looking slightly translucent.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"Inside the Tardis", the Doctor replied.

~TARDIS~

"There's one tiny little gap in the Universe left, just about to close, and it takes a lot of power to send this projection. I'm in orbit around a super nova. I'm burning up a sun just to say goodbye", the Doctor told her.

~Dårlig Ulv Stranden~

"You look like a ghosts", Rose commented.

"Hold on…" Imogen took out her sonic screwdriver from her pocket.

~TARDIS~

She points it at the console, solidifying the image of herself and the Doctor.

~Dårlig Ulv Stranden~

Rose raises a hand "Can I t…?"

The Doctor shook his head "we're still just an image. No touch", he said regretfully.

"Can't you two come through properly?" Rose asked, her voice trembling.

The Doctor shook his head "The whole thing would fracture. Two universes would collapse", he said.

"So?" Rose said, only half joking.

"Where are we? Where did the gap come out?" Imogen asked looking at their surroundings.

"We're in Norway", Rose answered.

"Norway. Right", the Doctor nodded.

"About fifty miles out of Burgen. It's called 'Dårlig Ulv Stranden'", Rose informed them.

Imogen raised her eye brows "you're kidding me", she said.

"I'm afraid not", Rose said smiling as Imogen got what that meant.

"Dårlig Ulv Stranden translates to Bad Wolf Bay", Imogen told the Doctor. The trio laugh at the irony of that, those two words followed them through time and space in the Doctor's previous body. Seemed almost fitting that this was the place where they got to say goodbye.

"How long have we got?" Rose asked, voice cracking slightly.

"About two minutes…" the Doctor replied.

"I can't think of what to say!" Rose said almost laughing.

"Still got Mickey then?" Imogen asked nodding over at the jeep where he was standing with Jackie and Pete.

"Yep. We've been giving our relationship another go", Rose replied.

"Good for you", Imogen said happy about that.

"Oh and I'm going to be a big sister", the blonde added.

"Congratulations", the Doctor said.

"Thanks", Rose said.

"So what are you doing now?" Imogen asked curious to know how Rose had adjusted to being in the parallel world.

"I'm at Torchwood now, lending my expertise", Rose replied.

"Good for you Rose", Imogen said proud of her best friend "You show them how it's done".

"You're dead, officially, back home", the Doctor informed Rose "So many people died that day and you've gone missing. You're on a list of the dead" Imogen's heart broke as Rose started to cry "Here you are, living a life day after day".

"Am I ever going to see you two again?" Rose asked, tears running down her face.

"You can't", the Doctor said quietly, wrapping an arm around Imogen as she began to tear up.

"What're you going to do?" Rose asked.

"Oh, we've got the TARDIS. Same old life", the Doctor said.

"On your own?" Rose voice cracked again. The Doctor nodded, giving Imogen a squeeze as a tear ran down her face. She was trying to keep it together but it was just so hard. Rose had been her best friend for years, saw her nearly every day and now she was never going to see her again. "I'm gonna miss you so much!" Rose sobbed.

"Me too", Imogen agreed.

~TARDIS~

"You've only got seconds", Harmony warned them. She didn't want to cut in but she had to let them know so that they could wrap up their goodbye.

~Dårlig Ulv Stranden~

"Goodbye, Rose Tyler", The Doctor said quietly trying to stay strong from Imogen who was on the verge of breaking down.

"Bye Doctor", Rose sniffled. She looked at Imogen, there was so much she still wanted to say but not enough time. "I…I lo" Rose choked with tears before she could finish her sentence. She took a moment to regain her composure "I love you".

Imogen gave her a sad smile "I love you too, always". The moment she said those words, she and the Doctor vanished. Rose stared at the spot they'd been in for a second before her face screwed up in pain, sobbing into her hands.

~TARDIS~

The Doctor held onto Imogen as she sobbed, a few tears slipping down his face too. Harmony watched the pair, her hearts breaking from them. This was the second time she'd watched them both completely fall apart after losing a companion. As much as she wanted to run over and give them both a hug, she knew that this was a moment she couldn't interrupt.

Harmony turned away to give them some privacy and was startled when she saw a ginger haired woman in a wedding dress, standing with her back to her. "What?" she asked in surprise catching the attention of the Doctor and Imogen.

The bride spun around, yelping in surprise "What?" the Doctor said confused as to how she got on board.

"Who are you?" the bride asked looking at the three of them disdainfully.

Imogen stared at the woman equally confuse "how…?"

"Where am I?" the bride asked.

"What?!" The Doctor repeated, his voice increasing in pitch.

"What the hell is this place?" the bride demanded.

"What?!"
