It was cold. I opened my eyes, scrunching up my nose. What the- I felt the ground I was on. My eyes widened and I gasped, pulling my hand off immediately, flinching because of the cold. "Doctor?"

I looked around, sitting up. There was snow and ice everywhere, covering everything around me. My head snapped up, my eyes wide as they scanned the area. There were icy wires hanging over me. The whole place was dark, with a dim blue light streaming across. It was quiet, and my own breaths sounded like something out of a megaphone.

I stood up, dusting myself, still looking around. "Doctor? Where are you?" And where am I- more importantly? I shivered, rubbing my arms up and down with my palms. Thank God I was wearing a hoodie- or else I would've probably died of hypothermia before I even woke up.

I frowned, looking around. The wires- and the gentle hum of the engine- whose spaceship were we on? I pushed an icicle-worn wire out of my way as I walked forward toward the source of light. "Doctor! Rose! Where in the name of God are we?"

I rubbed my hands up and down my arms continuously, breathing out white mist. As I walked toward the light source, I frowned as I saw a circular pedestal with plastic curtains around it. I turned toward it. "Hello? Doctor?" I tentatively took a step forward. "Anybody?"

My heart hammered against my chest, and I inhaled sharply. I took another step forward, but there seemed to be no movement behind the curtain. "Is anybody here? I don't know where I am!"

No response. My heart beat faster as I reached the pedestal. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and opened them, relaxing my shoulders. I pushed the curtains open and saw what was inside.

I screamed, and finally figured out where I was. There was a reclining chair on the pedestal, and on top of the chair was a skeleton- with its skull split open. Almost like-

I jumped as a cold hand gripped my shoulder. My heart beat even faster and I swallowed hard. Don't cry. I took a deep breath and slowly turned my head around.

It was a corpse covered in ice and snow, staring at me with it's cold, dead eyes. The Editor was right behind it, another corpse beside him, the same dead look in its eyes. Rose. I swallowed again and gulped. Don't cry.

"Doctor-" I whispered, as his corpse tightened its grip on my shoulder. "No-"

"Ah, hello! The other nonexistent one!" The Editor clapped his hands together, smirking at me. I looked up at him, trying to keep the tears at bay. "What have you done to them?"

"Oh, this old thing? I've just made them a little frosty." He looked at me, his eyes glinting. "Don't worry, it wasn't painful- or that's what I'm making you think. Better to go into the process expecting good things, eh?"

My eyes shot open as I sat up. I looked around where I was, eyes wide. I gripped onto what was underneath me, biting my lip.

A gentle hum sounded, and the room lit up with a soft yellow glow. I exhaled deeply, my shoulders relaxing and my fists unclenching, letting go of my blanket. Another nightmare- fifth time in the last six days- or well, TARDIS days, as Rose liked to call them.

I sighed, running a hand through my hair. My sleep schedule, which was already pretty messed up, had gotten even more inconsistent thanks to the nightmares about the adventures I had with the Doctor and Rose. Sometimes it was the corpses in Satellite Five, or the Dalek in Van Statten's museum, or the mutant humans we had to run away from in Cravalio.

It reminded me of the days after the whole Alice/Kroy incident. I had nightmares for days on end of mirrors possessing people and leaking out of their eyes and mouth. It was always the same- someone I cared about being affected by some sort of alien thing, me waking up in cold sweat, me not being able to fall back asleep.

The TARDIS hummed and I looked at the walls. "Yeah, well, at least it wasn't the Dalek this time," I muttered, slouching, "Well, it's that's what you were asking me- if it was something else, that would've been awkward."

She hummed again, a bit more amused by the sound of it. I grinned at her and sighed, closing my eyes. The skeleton on the chair. The Doctor's cold hand on my shoulder. I snapped my eyes open again and shook my head. "When will I ever learn?" I reached for the green book near my bed.

I opened the first page, my eyes skimming over the familiar words and passages of the book that I'd been reading every night to calm myself down. Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive….

I buried my face deeper into my pillow as the Doctor continued poking my cheek, "Get up!"

I scowled, and looked up at him, pulling my pillow close to me, "Why, it's like six thirty in the morning!" I whined, and flopped back into bed.

"We're in a time machine, there's no concept of time here!" He continued poking my cheek, and I pushed his hand off, covering my head with a pillow. He then moved on to try to pull the pillow off my head. "Doctor, please, five minutes!"

"No, we've gotta leave soon!"

I looked up at him, scowling, my pillow still over my head, "What's this place we're even going to?"

"We're gonna go meet Rose's dad, come on!"

Oh no- why? Why this episode, why now?! I shot up, almost bonking his head in the process. He swerved away in time, and looked at me with a surprised expression on his face, "Should've just said that in the first place," He muttered.

"Don't," He looked at me again, frowning. "Don't what?"

"Don't do it,"

"You mean, meet Rose's dad?"

"Yeah,"

"Why?"

I scratched my head and sat down on my bed properly, "It's a horrible episode, and judging by how useless I was in the previous two episodes, it'll be a surprise if things actually go right this time,"

He frowned at me, "What'd you mean, useless?"

"Exactly what it means," I dragged myself out of bed, sighing. The Doctor's frown deepened, "But you said that it was an episode, meaning, it should happen, right?"

I shrugged, yawning, "I guess, I mean-"

"Then that means we should go and meet her dad," He looked at me as I frowned, and cut me off as II was about to say something, "It's alright, whatever is gonna happen there, I won't blame you,"

"Okay," I said, shrugging, as he got out of the room.

"I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline Andrea Suzette Prentice," Said the registrar. The three of us were in the church where Rose's parents got married. I closed my eyes, trying to remember what had happened in this episode. There were the Reapers, the Doctor almost got erased from existence because adult Rose touched kid Rose, and the time loop car thing fixed everything. I took a deep breath and continued to watch the ceremony.

Pete looked at Jackie, "I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you," He took Jackie's hand and stuttered, "Jacqueline Susanne," He corrected himself correctly, "Suzette- Anita?"

He looked back at the Registrar, who was smiling at him, amused. Jackie, on the other hand, stared at Pete, "Oh, just carry on, if it's good enough for Lady Di,"

The Doctor grinned at him, and Rose muttered, "I thought he'd be taller,"

He looked down at her, "Lesson one. Never assume the past,"

I took a deep breath as the ceremony ended, and pulled the Doctor's sleeve, "We should really get going, who knows how Jackie would react when she sees us,"

"Good point," He muttered back to me, and tugged onto Rose's hand. She looked up, and he gestured that we had to leave. "Alright," She muttered, and we turned away and walked out of the church, unseen by everyone.

We walked into the TARDIS, and I ran toward the console, running my hand on the edge. "Oi," I looked up to see the Doctor, who was pointing his screwdriver at me, "No touching any buttons unless you want to end up in a place so impossible that there's two dimensional beings there,"

I giggled, looking down, and he frowned, "What are you laughing about?"

I laughed even more and looked up, "Sorry, it's just- how can there be two dimensional creatures?"

"It's an impossible universe, Liza, anything can happen here," He flicked a few switches in the console, and looked at Rose, who was looking at the ground, "You alright?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," She waved it off, but the Doctor frowned, "No, you're not,"

She looked up at him, "It's just- I never expected I'd actually see him, you know. Mum told me so many things about him,"

"I imagine she did, she tells lots of things about everyone," He shrugged, and walked around the console. I looked down at the controls and a red button caught my eye. "Don't even think about pressing that, Liza,"

I looked up at him, scowling, "I wasn't even gonna touch it!"

He laughed, and went back to where he was, pulling a screen along with him, "Joke of the day, Liza," He looked at Rose again, "Seriously, are you alright? It can be really strange for you to see a dead person before they die,"

She looked up at him again, "Well, I know that, it's just-" She looked down again, "Mum always used to tell me that he got hit by a car, and nobody was there. She always wished there was someone there with him,"

"Be careful what you wish for," I muttered, looking down at all the levers and buttons on the console. I didn't press anything, though. It would be extremely awkward if we did land on Earth only to find out there were two dimensional creatures- and run into a grumpy old Scotsman who was stuck in a tiny TARDIS while Clara Oswald pretended to be the Doctor of lies. Or even worse, land in the UNIT headquarters and find Chinny, Sandshoes, and Grandad.

"I wanna be that person, so he doesn't die alone,"

"You've gotta be careful, though," I looked up at Rose, "You're gonna see your dad die- it's gonna be hard. Are you sure you wanna see him?"

She scowled at me and folded her hands, "Of course I am, how old d'you think I am, five?"

I raised my hands up and went to stand next to the Doctor, "I just gave you a piece of advice, don't say I didn't warn you,"

"November the seventh?" The Doctor looked at Rose. She nodded, "1987,"

I grabbed onto the console, preparing to almost get thrown across the room as the Doctor flicked on a few switches. "Anything I can do?"

"Press those buttons over there," He pointed toward a few colourful buttons near me. "The red one too?"

"No, the other ones,"

"Okay," I pouted, but pressed the blue, yellow, and green buttons, and held onto the console as the Doctor pulled a lever. The TARDIS jolted, and started rocking harder than she usually did, almost throwing the Doctor away as he tried to press something.

She hummed loudly, lighting up and turning the lights off in random places, almost like she was throwing a tantrum. I slipped, and fell back. I screamed, and held onto the railing behind me. Rose was yelling as she was about to get pushed off too, while the Doctor tried his best to walk around the console. "What's with you today?"

I linked my arm through the railing as one of my hands started slipping, and the TARDIS tilted to the other side, making me face the console. The TARDIS whined and screeched as the Doctor tried his best to land it.

I yelled even louder as I was about to fall back and get thrown into the wall. "What is wrong with her?!" Rose exclaimed.

"I don't think she wants to land wherever we wanna go!"

"Really, I thought she was just feeling adventurous today because the Doctor rubbed off on her!"

"Can you both not argue with each other for five minutes?!" The Doctor yelled, running around the console (or stumbling around, the TARDIS really seemed to hate him at this point), and looked at me, "Hang on, you'll fall down once the TARDIS lands,"

"Oh, how comforting," I muttered, and looked up at him, "You mean if we land- the TARDIS really seems to want to go somewhere else!"

"No way, we're going, and the TARDIS will land!" Rose yelled.

"I really don't think we have a vote on that!"

"Both of you!" The Doctor looked at the two of us as the TARDIS lurched again, and I had to hold onto the railing tighter to prevent myself from falling off and breaking my face.

After a few torturous twists and turns, we finally landed with a thud, and I fell back to the other side of the railing. "Oh, brilliant," I muttered, and tried to climb across the railing to reach the console.

"So, are you ready?" The Doctor looked at Rose, who was taking a deep breath. She nodded, and the Doctor looked around, "Where's Liza?"

"I'm right here, idiot," I climbed up the railing and flipped across, scowling at him. "This was probably the worst TARDIS ride ever."

He ignored me as he stepped out of the TARDIS after Rose. I smoothed out my hair and scowled at the TARDIS, who gave me a protesting hum. "Okay, I know you don't like this, but news flash- neither do I. And unfortunately, there's nothing either of us can do about it so I think it's just best if we get it over with. Deal?"

She hummed again and I smiled at her. "I'll see you later, okay?"

I walked out of the TARDIS, only to find the Doctor and Rose standing a little way away. "..I thought it would be all, sort of grim and stormy. But it's just an ordinary day."

"The past is another country. 1987 is just the Isle of Wight." I went to stand next to the Doctor. "So that means you've gone on a whole world tour then."

"Maybe, maybe not." He shrugged and looked down at Rose, his face becoming serious again. "You sure about this?"

"Yeah." Rose said. I looked at her. "Seriously, though, this is gonna be difficult and I know what happens. Just- don't try to change anything no matter how tempting it is."

Rose nodded. "Why would I? The Doctor's already lectured me about fixed points or whatever."

I nodded, and bit my lip. "Just make sure you absolutely don't change anything under any circumstances."

"Alright, I won't. I swear." She rolled her eyes and walked forward. I shook my head and folded my hands, breathing out. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up, only to be face-to-face with the Doctor. "Whatever happens, it's happening because it should."

"Yeah, but this is bad even in your standards."

"Well, nothing can be as bad as Van Statten now, can it?" Images of the series finale, Doomsday, Daleks in Manhattan, The Last of the Time Lords, Journey's End, The Angels Take Manhattan, Death in Heaven, Hell Bent, and The Doctor Falls ran through my head. "You really don't wanna know. This is you we're talking about."

The three of us stood by the street Pete Tyler had died in- or the street Pete Tyler will die in, in about a few minutes. I stood beside Rose while the Doctor stood on her other side. She took my hand and I squeezed it. "This is it. Jordan Road. He was late. He'd been to get a wedding present. A vase. Mum always said, that stupid vase."

A green car came into the street, Pete Tyler inside it. Rose took a deep breath and stiffened. "He got out of his car and crossed the road." Pete Tyler got the vase out of his car and was about to step out. "Oh God this is it," I tightened my grip around her hand and she gripped mine.

Just as he got out of the car with the vase and turned around, another car came into the street at full speed. I squeezed my eyes shut as the car sped up. I bit my lip, refusing to open my eyes. The vase shattered and Pete Tyler fell. I slowly opened my eyes as the Doctor muttered, "Go to him. Quick."

But she just stood there, holding our hands, frozen. I took a deep breath and bit the inside of my cheek, trying my best to not look at Pete's body and the shattered remains of the vase.

"It's too late now," We were all standing against a wall in an alley nearby, Rose standing beside the Doctor while I was on his other side. People had found Pete- the ambulance had gotten there and- Pete was dead. "By the time the ambulance got there he was dead,"

She then looked up at him and my eyes widened slightly. This was it. I bit my lip as she said, "He can't die on his own,"

"Everyone faces death on their own," I murmured, remembering the quote from Face the Raven. "You're just gonna have to be brave,"

"Easier said than done," Rose snapped, and I took a deep breath. Things were gonna go downhill really fast if I didn't do anything. She looked at the Doctor again, "Can I try again?"

If she did, well- everything goes absolutely bonkers and she'd just end up becoming more hurt at the end of all the events. But it wouldn't make her feel bad now, would it? What about the future, then? Pete will die again- and she would be even more hurt- she'd know him better this time. I took a deep breath. "Rose, I'm sorry, but you trying again-"

"What, the episode consequences would be huge or something?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"No," I shook my head, "Well, yes, but that's not what I'm trying to say. The point is, it's gonna hurt much more the second time around, and, well, I can't reveal much, but we're much better off without the events that are about to happen,"

"Why can't you, though? You've been going all Little Miss Know it all with us and with all your ominous warnings about the future, but why can't you tell us what happens so that we can avoid it?" She straightened up from her position and scowled at me.

"Rose, that's not how it works-"

"Then how does it work? You keep warning us about impending doom and we just listen despite not knowing anything while you keep prattling on about some far fetched clue?"

"Rose, that's not what I'm trying to tell you-"

"Will the two of you stop it?" My head snapped up to look at the Doctor, who was glaring at us back and forth. "Enough with your fighting, honestly," He turned to me, his gaze still hard, "Liza, do we or do we not come here again?"

"Did you even listen to a single word I said about the consequences of doing this?"

"Do we or do we not, Liza, nothing else,"

I sighed and looked down. "Yeah, Rose gets a second chance at this, but-"

"Nope, not having any of that. If she had a second chance, she had a second chance. No ifs and no buts and definitely no future warnings." He straightened up from the wall and turned toward the direction of the TARDIS. "Rose, Liza, come on, we're going to come here again."

A/N: I swear, if I had a penny for every time I made a Twelfth Doctor reference- there's already like 5 references to him per chapter according to my estimations (which have a huge probability of being incorrect).

Anyway, I'm gonna ask y'all a question now (don't worry, it's not a random pop quiz or whatever)- what book do you guys think was the one Liza was reading? Let me know in the comments! Anyway, this chapter was chock full of original scenes (Mainly because this episode had a lot of flashbacky stuff instead of which I added this stuff).

And the whole nightmare thing- well, I had an idea for a character point (kinda like a plot point, but in a character arc) for Liza where she realises what being a companion is actually like compared to what she thinks it's like, and I'm actually really excited to see how that goes!

Okay, like this A/N is hella long rn (probably because it's 12.49 AM as I'm writing this and I'm hungry), so I guess I'm signing off. Please let me know what you guys think about the chapter, and I'll see you guys when I update the next chapter! Bye!
