The Doctor nodded to his previous self and ran off to free Rose.

The 9th Doctor had retrieved everyone but Ari and they were currently heading full steam to rescue her from whatever trap the dark Doctor had set up. Once they got to the room Arthur cursed under his breath as he saw a small coffin in the middle of the dark room. He pushed the others out of his way and bolted to the coffin, trying to pry the lid off.

Ari heard the panel in front of her creaking; it was her mind playing tricks on her. She shivered, she felt cold and dizzy and her chest was too tight to breath, she really was going to die in there. She blinked as light flooded in suddenly.

Arthur helped Ari out of the coffin and pulled her close, trying to calm her down. "It's ok love, I'm here, I'm here." Ari's legs gave out from under her, but Arthur held her up.

"I didn't...I didn't know if...if I going to see you again," she said weakly as she hugged, tears of relief starting to flow down her cheeks.

"You're fine dear. I've got you," Arthur said, kissing Ari's head.

"Ok, as heartwarming as this is, I need to get you back with my future self and Rose so we can figure out how to defeat this dark Doctor," the 9th Doctor said, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.

Ari blinked at him actually really just noticing him for the first time, "Future what? Who are you?"

"I'm the Doctor, now come along you daft apes!" the 9th Doctor called as he turned around and quickly walked away from the group.

"Load of fun he is," Eames said. Arthur nodded in agreement.

"Nothing about this job makes sense anymore," Ari sighed as they moved to follow him. "This is over I'm taking a vacation." Having just experienced her own person hell she deserved that didn't she.

"Anything you want love," Arthur said sweetly, giving her a brief kiss.

The Doctor found the door that held her strapped to a chair. He dashed over and quickly undid the straps and moved back as she got out of the chair.

Rose stood a little shaky; she swallowed looking directly at the Doctor for first time since he came in the door. She quickly looked away, she had hurt him, she hadn't even realized she had, how could she not have? "Are…are the others alright?"

The Doctor's eyes turned dark. "I don't know, we should go see," he said before walking out the door, leaving Rose to follow him.

The group ran to catch up with the 9th Doctor and as they were turning a corner they almost ran into Rose and the 10th Doctor.

Rose mouth opened in surprise at the sight of the 9th Doctor. With a though about it she hugged him tightly then she kissed him.

The 9th Doctor's eyes opened in surprise but they quickly closed as he returned the kiss, pulling her closer to him by the hips. The 10th Doctor took a step back and looked away at the floor, trying desperately to ignore the feeling of his hearts shattering. The dark Doctor's words echoed in his head, "You will never be good enough; you're not her Doctor and never will be."

Angry tears filled his eyes but he refused to let them fall. Eames nudged Cobb and pointed at the 10th Doctor. Catching the hint, Cobb stepped in and said, "So how do we defeat the dark Doctor?"

The two were broken from their own world and Rose hugged him again before pulling away, her eyes watering slightly. "Going to miss you," she told him not paying much attention to what going around her

"You don't need old daft me," the 9th Doctor said, smiling. "You've got pretty boy me over there."

"Yeah," Rose softly she had already messed things up between them would he still want her after that. She smacked his arm "didn't you think it may have been a good idea to mention this whole 'if I die I don't really but I will change' thing before. Would have been nice to have known what bloody hell was going on."

The 9th Doctor rubbed the back of his neck. "Well I tried but it's so normal for time lords that I didn't really think about it. It's like trying to explain to a human why it is necessary to blink."

"Still a warning would have been nice," she says then glances over at the tenth Doctor

He was looking at the ground, a cloud of hurt and despair around him.

Rose looked down then back to the 9th Doctor, she wasn't sure how to approach him now; she had messed things up already.

Just then the group looked around them as the walls began to come closer together; a lite was seen at one end of the hallway. The 9th Doctor grabbed Rose's hand and yelled "Run!"

The others did as they were told and ran, the 9th Doctor pulled Rose past the 10th who seemed hesitant at first, impulsively she grabbed hold of his hand urging him to run with her.

The 10th Doctor looked at their linked hands and felt hope rising but stomped it down when he looking at the 9th Doctor and Rose's linked hands.

The group had managed to get into a large room at the end the hallway, the walls remained unmoving though. The 9th Doctor released Rose's hand; she had yet to let go of the 10th Doctor's hand though. "Now what?" Ari asked as they caught their breath.

The 10th Doctor looked at Rose out of the corner of his eye as she let go of the 9th Doctors hand. He didn't know whether to trust his hope or ignore it. Both the 9th and 10th Doctor began to scan the room with their sonic screwdrivers.

"Anything?" Rose asked him.

Ari stood close beside Arthur who held her close with an arm around her waist; she still shook slightly but was starting to calm down again. Arthur kissed Ari's head.

"It will be ok love just calm down I'm here." The Doctors looked at Rose at the same time.

"There is no sign of a filter covering a door," the 9th Doctor said.

"Nor does there seem to be anything outside of this room," the 10th supplied.

"But we just got into here through a hallway and door," Eames argued.

"Well its gone now," the 9th Doctor growled.

"So we're stuck here," Rose said softly, unconsciously moving a little closer to the 10th Doctor, "well could be worse suppose."

The 10th Doctor smiled.
