Chapter Two

Rose smiled as she grabbed a large box with the label Fragile on it. "Just like a certain someone about his ol' girl, right John?"

"Let's go~" Viola sang cheerfully. She opened the door and disappeared inside with Sarah on her tail.

John mumbled and then brightened up, looking at Rose. "Allons-y!" he said, grabbing Rose's hand. The two race into the VATASS without looking back.

Rose's first thought as the door slammed shut behind her and John was posh. Second, the control panel was made of musical instruments.

"So, whatcha think?" Viola asked. Her eyes glittered in the dim lighting of the VATASS. Sarah laughed. Typical Viola.

"It's nice," John said, glancing around the spaceship. "Very posh."

"So," Viola began. "What you think, Rose Tyler?"

"It's very interesting," Rose answered after a moment of thought.

Viola's face fell and she curled up in a cornor of the control room. A dark aura engulfed her as she drew a circle on the floor with her finger.

"Ah," John said, frightened. "What's with her?"

Sarah grimaced. "Oh, dear. Viola's in her emo cornor again."

"Her what?" Rose exclaimed.

"You didn't say it. She loves to hear this one little line. She looks forward to it whenever she brings newcomers aboard," Sarah explained.

"And what's the line?" Rose asked.

Sarah motioned them to come to her. "It's bigger on the inside than the outside," Sarah whispered.

Rose chuckled as she glanced at John, who was holding back a fit of laughter. Rose walked over to Viola. She crouched down and put a hand on the not-so-young girl's shoulder.

"Hey," Rose said. "Can you believe that it's bigger on the inside than the outside?"

Viola perked right up, nearly knocking Rose over. "It is, isn't it?"

They all laughed. Viola looked at her companions with a strange look. She shrugged it off, reaching for the controlls. A few piano keys, ringing of a bell, and a drumroll later, the room trembled.

"Where do you want to go?~" Viola sang.

Rose and John looked at each other. "Jack," they said simonatinously. John looked over at Viola. "Cardiff," he said. "We have a friend in Cardiff. He'll die from shock when he sees us."

Viola frowned. "Wouldn't that be a bad thing if he died?"

Rose giggled. "Jack has a hard time staying dead."

Viola shrugged and pound in the cordinates for Earth*Alpha's Cardiff, Great Britain. With a clash of a cymbal, the VATASS shook even harder than before. The wooshing noise increased and then the room grew still, a chime echoing in the silence.

Rose was the first to speak. "Well, John, that made the TARDIS look a bit tamed." She picked herself up off the floor.

Viola led everyone out of the VATASS. Rose and John looked in awe as they set their eyes on Earth*Alpha Cardiff for the first time in 4 years. Nothing changed. Not much anyway. John looked around and a grin spreaded across his face.

"There," he shouted, pointing at a spot near the middle of Cardiff. The quartet raced for the spot and skidded to a stop.

Viola gave John a look. "Why are we here, exactly?"

John grinned. "It's the secret entrance to Torchwood," he explained. They stepped on it and John brought out an object. It caught Viola's eye.

"What you got there?" she asked John.

"A sonic screwdriver!" he announced cheerfully as he pointed it to the ground and the sonic lit up. Cardiff disappeared around them and they were underground.

"Can I have a look at it?" Viola asked, holding her hand out.

"No, it can be tempormental." John replied.

Viola sighed and the four time travellers moved on. John led the way, taking them to some weird lab/office space. A man and a woman were there, huddled around an alien device. The woman had dark brown hair and the man had short dark hair. They both wore wedding rings on their left hands. Rose and John somewhat reconised the woman.

"Gwen," Rose called out.

The woman stiffened. Turning around, she held a gun, pointing it at the intruders. "Who are you?" she growled. The man drew his gun on them.

"Woah," John said, pointing his sonic screwdriver at the guns. "Might want to put that down before someone is hurt."

The woman frowned as she stared at John. "Don't I know you?"

John grimaced. "Yes and no," he replied. "You see, I'm-"

"Rose! How in the hell did you get back?" a voice shouted. Everyone looked up to see a man in a WW2 coat with his brown hair in a military cut.

"Oh dear," Rose said meekly. "How you doin', Jack?"

Author's Note: Muwahahaha! Jack's made a comeback! I can't wait for Doctor Who to come back on. I also began watching BBC's Sherlock. It's absolutely brilliant. Can't wait for season 3. I wonder how exactly Sherlock survived the fall. It will be interesting to see how John will find out Sherlock is OK. Well, like always, I need to update some stories as Branwen Yarden on FictionPress. I also got a poll going on for FictionPress. Remember, reviews are welcome!
