"Rose, no!" he was kicking, his converses making marks on the floor as he tried to reach the sonic screwdriver she had left just a few feet away.

"Rose!" he screamed as his hearts throbbed and over and over in his head the words 'its over, she's gone' were burned white hot with searing flame. He whimpered, the handcuffs cutting into his wrists but still he struggled to reach the sonic screwdriver. "Rose!" he screamed, the cry scratching his throat, the loss hitting him, washing over him, again and again. Breaking down the barriers until the only thing left in the world was her, a fading light in all the darkness and blurs. With every footfall his advanced ears heard, his gut wrenched the pain almost unbearable.

Below the thumping of his hearts, he could hear the engines of the machine start, the machine that would end her life. That would take his rose from him.

Suddenly he stopped.

"Forever, remember this: Forever" the echo in his mind of the last words she had said startling out of his self-destruction.

Remember this: Forever.


3 months earlier…

"Reverof…" Rose gave him a weird look. "It spells forever backwards?"

"Reverof 5.3!" the doctor opened his arms wide. "One of your basic clone planets with blue skies, deep jungles and… where are you going?"

Rose turned giving him a smile. He hadn't brought her for the council; it was soo unlikely he would park next to this accidentally.

"Funfair?" she pointed over her shoulder, teasing. His eyes fixed on the ferris wheel.

"Rose Tyler…" he breathed. "The next uncivilised planet we land on, im gonna let them make YOU holy ruler for once, and let them make statues depicting your great handsomeness like they always do to me…shame that if we refuse they try to boil us alive though, trying to 'free our spirits', puts rather a downer on things, don't you think?" turning to her, his eyes met only air. Quickly scanning the area, he saw her being pulled away by two women in veils.

"oh but, t-the funfair!" groaning he started running after them, and until reaching the small alley they had disappeared down, he was actually running quite fast. That is before the fist came out of the shadows, slamming into his face, making the world fade into black.
