A/N: Okay folks I know this is a little later than promised but I've got like six assignments due in the next week. And seeing as I'll be in Rockhampton this weekend (I could kill my parents for making me go to his basketball…) this might be my last update for a while.Andfanfic wouldn't let meupload a document, soI once again apologise.And I dedicate this chapter to rosetylerrox because I love what you said in the reviews.
"The clone is complete Cyberleader," the Cyberman informed his superior.
"Excellent, have the Doctor's young companion captured using the copy of his TARDIS. Then, set the clone loose, she has a fully accurate memory of everything the girl has done or said," the Cyberleader replied.
"Certainly. This time, the Doctor will not escape us! Ahahahaha!" the Cybermen laughed.
IOIOIOIOI"So, Rose, we've been engaged for two weeks, where do you wanna go, you know, for our 'first date?'" the Doctor asked Rose coyly.
"You know, anywhere with you is always gonna be perfect. How about Jupiter 6?" Rose suggested as she took a step closer to the Doctor.
"Jupiter 6 it is!" he said, their noses touching. He kissed her gently then set the coordinates. The Doctor couldn't believe how lucky he really was. He'd come so close to losing her to that idiot of a boy, Ricky, 'I knew I should've punched him' the Doctor thought.
The grating and whooshing sound of the TARDIS materialised on Jupiter 6 and the Doctor and Rose walked down to the beach. It had been their favourite holiday spot for ages.
The sand was warm and the Rose sat in the Doctor's lap and the pair of them stared out into the relaxing waves. Before long, they were both asleep in the others arms.
However this peace didn't last, for the Cybermen grabbed Rose while she slept and replaced her with the Rose clone they had called Rosa.
Something was wrong. Rose could feel it. Although she was still warm, the Doctor's arms were no longer around her. Instead she was in a cell somewhere.
"Doctor!" Rose called. This wasn't good. Not good at all. Then she saw her captors. The Cybermen.
"Be quiet girl. The Doctor is far away on Jupiter six. We are on Neron. Our planet," they scolded.
"But, no. Where's the Doctor? What have you done with him?" Rose screamed in hysterics. No, not again, it had been two weeks. That was it. Two weeks. She couldn't have lost him again already! No, it wasn't fair. Tears welled up in her eyes and she cried and cried and cried.
IOIOIOIOIThe Doctor awoke to find Rose still sleeping soundly in his arms. He kissed her gently on the forehead, then on the nose and ears. She giggled in a girlish way, something she never did, but the Doctor passed it off as her way of being lovey-dovey.
"Mmm, why'd you wake me?" she teased poking him in the chest.
"Because, although you're beautiful asleep, you're gorgeous when you're awake," came his answer.
"You just don't know when to stop!" she said.
"You wanna go get chips?" the Doctor asked her offering his hand. Their little thing of getting chips was becoming a fast habit.
"Mmm, nah, I feel like cotton candy," she replied. The Doctor found this odd, because chips seemed to be Rose's favourite food.
"Okay sweetie," he told her again offering his hand.
She took it but the Doctor felt like something was wrong. Rose was acting weirdly, I mean not wanting chips, that wasn't at all like Rose, but when her hand slipped into his, it wasn't warm and fleshy. It was almost robotic and the little callus she had under her ring finger from the engagement ring was gone.
He broke apart from her and said, "You're not my Rose. Where is she?" he demanded.
"Don't be daft, now lets get that cotton candy,"
"My Rose hates cotton candy. To much sugar. And she has a little callus under her ring finger from the engagement ring I gave her. Now, where is Rose?" he bellowed.
"Geez Doctor, if you don't love me, you could just say. No need to play mind games with me," she sobbed.
"Sorry. It's just, you know me, I'm very protective of you. If anything happened, I'd – I'd never ever forgive myself. Now, lets go somewhere else," he apologised doubtfully.
Wiping her tears Rosa replied," I know, lets go to Neron, really nice autumn this time of year. You remember that don't you Doctor?"
"Yeah, I do remember. Let's go."
IOIOIOIOI"Please! Where is he? Is he hurt? Tell me that! Please!" Rose pleaded with the slowly relenting Cyberman.
"I can tell you that he is not hurt, yet. And, he is on his way here," the Cyberman gave in.
She sighed a huge sigh of relief. Yet how the Doctor knew where she was was the least of Rose's worries. Now she needed to distract the Cybermen and escape.
IOIOIOIOI"Rosa! It is time, hold the Doctor at gun point and bring him to our stations!" barked the Cyberman into Rosa's mind device.
Rosa did as she was told and grabbed the gun given to her when she'd been taken to the Doctor. It was a compact laser 360 that had been expertly inserted in her pocket. Luckily, the Doctor hadn't noticed.
She stuck her head into their room and said," Doctor? Hurry up I'm getting impatient!"
"Yes I can tell Rose, I'll be out in a minute. Now, why are you so desperate to get out – there? What are you doing?"
"Honestly? You were right before when you recognised I wasn't really Rose. I respond to the Cybermen. They cloned me from your Rose and called me Rosa. Now, I have to bring you in. and, if you struggle, I'll kill you, or the Cybermen will kill your darling Rose," Rosa spat.
"What have you done with her? She better be safe or so help me God…" the Doctor said furiously. How could he have fallen for such a phoney trick?
"NOW!" Rosa roared. She certainly wasn't Rose. Not now.
Rosa walked the Doctor into Cyber Control and was applauded by the Cybermen before being taken away to a separate room. A single gunshot was heard. Rosa was dead.
As for the Doctor, he was taken into a cell. In fact it was the same cell as Rose.
"Rose!" the Doctor cried.
Rose awoke immediately and rushed into the Doctor's embrace," I thought I'd never see you again. They said they were gonna kill you."
"Rose, they might. They might also kill you," he said quietly. "Fortunately for us, I have the sonic screwdriver, we can break out of the cell at night. But if it looks like I'm not gonna make it I want you to run. Run Rose. Fly the TARDIS, she'll help you. Get as far away from here as possible. Please." The Doctor pleaded.
"No, I can't do that. We're in this together. You and me. Together. I'm not leaving you," Rose said adamantly.
"Okay, but I want you to be extremely careful."
"I will."
Then the Doctor kissed her passionately and they sat down in each other's arms, identically to the way that they'd been on the beach.
IOIOIOIOINightfall came and the Doctor and Rose's plan went smoothly. At least for then anyway. They were about to slip out of the front gates when the sonic screwdriver malfunctioned and caused the alarm to sound.
"Doctor. You should've known better than to escape our forces. Now, we will kill you." The Cyberleader said.
"No! NO! You can't I won't let you. Doctor?" Rose cried. The tears that had been there all afternoon welled up again and she stood in front of him as the Cybermen raised their guns to shoot…
He he, so I know I'm evil, leaving a cliff-hanger like this. But it's a good place to stop. Leaves you wanting more. Reviews please. Maybe ill have the next update up tomorrow… :-p
