I talked with the turtles on the roof tops a little, I told them I was traveling to find someone close to me, but I never mentioned Doctor directly. It was about midnight, I decided there was no point of me staying here, "So Rose, are you going to stay in New York for a while." Leo asked resting his elbows on his knees. I shook my head "I don't need to be here anymore, my friend isn't here." Donnie looked up at me "When's your flight?" My eyes twitched a little, I chuckled a little, "I'm not flying anywhere I'm using this." I pulled my dimension cannon out. I turned away I planned to leave right then and there, but something wasn't right, I wasn't working.
I turned my head to the turtles, I could feel the fear in my eyes, and they could see it, Donnie stood up "It's not working is it?" I shook my head, "It worked everywhere else, why won't it work now?" Donnie grabbed the cannon, "I'm not sure, but maybe I could fix this, let's head back to the lair. The turtles all nodded "Lair?" I asked Mikey put an arm around me "You'll love it, we have pizza." The thought of Pizza brought back memories, of before I met The Doctor, when my mum and I would have our lonely nights eating pizza alone. I just smiled and pushed away the memory.
As we were climbing off the roof, I thought about where The Doctor was now, as I was lost in a flurry of memories my foot had somehow slipped. I felt myself falling off the wall, I couldn't scream. Raph's hand had grabbed my arm as I dangled, 50 feet above the ground. "Ya hafta be careful Rose, full concentration is necessary. I nodded, his all reminded me of how I died, being caught by my parallel father and being taken away from my Doctor. I pressed my body back ono the wall and tried my best to concentrate. Once I reached the cement, I looked around "Sooo, where exactly is your lair." He turtles led my back to the ally we were originally next to, Raph lifted up the manhole cover, and waved a hand down o he sewers "Ladies first." Compared to other things I had gone through this was nothing.
As I climbed down the ladder I could hear Donnie "what'll we tell Master Splinter?" I could see the other's shudder. "Leave that to me, but Rose you shouldn't freak out okay?" Leo said to me, I didn't understand "You master isn't human?" Leo nervously chuckled "Kind of…." As we walked through the sewers I cringed, after all it was a sewer. As we walked we reached an abandoned subway, there wasn't much conversation other than Mikey randomly singing some random tune. One we reached the "lair" we were greeted by a giant rat, his red eyes glared down at me.
"WHO IS THIS STRANGER LEONARDO!?" I could see the instant terror emerging from the turtles faces, they had all moved their knees together and tilted their heads down, and Leo began "S-S-Sensei, s-s-she weeeeell…" Donnie finished his sentence. "She's stuck in our dimension and can't get out, I'm gonna see what I can do to help."
This seemed to please the rat, as he looked to me, he stuck out a paw-hand-claw thing, and said "You may call me Splinter" I smiled and took his hand-ish thing, "I'm Rose Tyler." I heard him chuckle "Are you by any chance British." I nodded, "The accent gave it away didn't it?" We all laughed, and for a minute, I didn't miss The Doctor or my family.
