Chapter one

"And where are we going again?"

"I don't know! Isn't that great?"

As usual, the Doctor's meaning of the word 'great' wasn't the same as Rose's. They had been floating in space, as usual, going, who knows where, until they were grabbed by this…force. There was no other word for it. It was pulling the TARDIS towards…somewhere (it was hard to tell, the panels had all blacked out), throwing its contents all over the place (if that was what the Doctor meant by great, then Rose had to agree).

"umm…can I help?"

He was still hitting every button in order to find some way of controlling his ship. "No, don't touch anything. You're blonde, and remember the last time you touched something you weren't suppose to." He grinned across at her.

Rose opened her mouth to protest but just then the TARDIS seemed to do a complete flip. It felt like they were in a small car that had just been rammed on the side by an HGV. Everything went flying all over the place. Rose felt her head hit the wall and then it all went black…

A little while later (how long she had no idea, Rose woke up, half way down the gangway. They'd stopped moving. She got to her feet cautiously and found her way to the main control panel.

"Doctor?" She was half expecting him to be fiddling around with something. Only he wasn't. He wasn't doing anything, just… lying there.

"Doctor?" She tried all she could to wake him up, but to no avail. He couldn't be….no. There was nothing now she could do. But… where were they?

By pushing the door of the TARDIS open a little, all she could see was destruction. Bomb damage, crumbling buildings, people scurrying in and out of holes like rats. A disaster zone. But where? When?

Right, Rose told herself, she had to get the Doctor to, well, a doctor, but the help couldn't come to them. He had to come with her. She put his arm around his neck and slowly lifted him up. "God you're heavy," she muttered. "Must be the ears."

Slowly but surely she lifted her companion down the street. She couldn't be seen anyway near the TARDIS, it was too obvious. Luckily, it was some way down before they met an elderly looking woman.

"'Cuse me, could you tell me where the nearest hospital is, please?"

The woman looked confused "Englisch?" she said, before turning and running in the opposite direction.

"No! I mean, come… oh forget it. "Rose sighed and lifted the Doctor further up her shoulder. Suddenly, however, the woman reappeared…with what looked like a young British solider.

"English?" he smile, and Rose nodded (melt, melt). He took the Doctor onto his own shoulders and smiled at the old lady. "Danke. Come on, I'll take you to the military hospital."

Rose followed him through the deserted streets, now fully able to take in what surrounded her.

"Um.. where are we? We just sort of…landed here."

"Espionage, huh? Well, if you're looking for the Soviets, I'm afraid you're in the wrong sector. This is West Berlin. You do know it's 1948, don't you?"

Grateful for a chance to explain her situation without mentioning time or space, Rose smiled. "Oh yeah, I know THAT!" Don't tell, please?"

"Ah, I understand you lot, my girl (Dammit!) used to work for them too. I'll just say you're with me. Ah, here we are."

At first glance, it was just another dilapidated building, only with a Red Cross and 'HOSPITAL' on the outside. Yet, when she stepped inside, it was a maze that reminded her of the alien markets the Doctor and she had visited. A blonde nurse came hurrying up to whom the solider muttered something. Then, all of a sudden, the Doctor was being put on a trolley and wheeled out of sight.

"NO!" Rose cried, trying to push her way through to follow him. The solider stepped in her way.

"I'm afraid you can't follow-he needs help quickly. You can go and sit in the waiting room, if you like." He indicated a room to the left. "I have to leave you now- good luck."

And with that he was gone. Rose stood in the busy corridor, completely alone, her heart breaking. She took one look at the doors where the Doctor was…no, it would be best for him.

She at least hoped they may have Cosmo in the waiting room.
