In the alternate universe depicted in "Turn Left", Rose enters the dying TARDIS for the first time since the time ship was retrieved from below the Thames.
Written for the prompt from Timepetalsprompts over on Tumblr: spooky
This didn't turn out to be "Hallowe'en-esque at all… but the images of the darkened TARDIS are what came to mind.
Rose opened the beloved blue doors, gasping as the natural light cast long, jagged shadows into the darkened space before her. She took a tentative step forward, the latticed floor panels making a dull, metallic clunk beneath her feet. Approaching the console, hands trembling, she stroked the cool surface.
The darkness shimmered with lights and the silence echoed with music, laughter, and chatter: ghosts of the Doctor; tattered memories of leather, pinstripes, and home in the Vortex.
"Spooky, isn't it?" Captain Magambo's voice shattered Rose's reminiscences.
"No… just very sad… and lonely without the Doctor. I know how she feels."
