Doomsday the final goodbye...
S.B and Jack climbed through the vent shafts, S.B leading Jack following. "Ok how far is it to the main control room?" S.B asked as she stopped and searched her pockets, "It should be here" Jack replied as he pointed to the grate. S.B moved forward whiring her sonic screwdriver at the nails.
After a few seconds the grate loosened S.B pulled it into the shaft and passed it to Jack who placed it on the ground next to them. S.B dropped down into the room holding her rifle high. Jack dropped beside her he to holding his rifle. "Clear" Jack said as S.B went towards the computer.,
She tapped the keyboard Torchwood flashed on the screen, S.B typed on the keyboard. Access denied flashed on the screen, S.B tried again the same thing happed. "Need some help?" Jack asked "Never interupt a girl when shes breaking into a computer system!" S.B snapped.
Jack backed off holding his hands up in defense, S.B put her sonic screwdriver against the screen. Access granted flashed in green letters, "Gotcha" S.B smiled as she typed away on the screen. "You in?" Jack asked S.B nodded as she brought up the survailence files.
She clicked through them, "Oh no" S.B said as she put her hand to her mouth Jack grasped her shoulder. "Its ok S.B, we'll get them back" Jack said soothingly as S.B nodded gritting her teeth.

S.B threw a static bomb, shorting out the cybermen. Her and Jack didn't stop running forwards. Ducking into rooms hiding firing, they must have goe threw a hundred round of bullets already. S.B out of breath leaned against the wall, "We have to be nearly there" S.B breathed as she reloaded her guns."We are" He replied kissing her cheek "We're nearly there" He continued as they ran forward.

As the doctor ran forwards as the battle raged between the daleks and the cybermen. He grabbed two magnetic clamps. "Please" Rose pleaded as the doctor ran through Rose slammed the door shut. They headed for the roof, S.B ran up the steps following Jack. Pistols held high, a cyber man stopped them "You may pass" It spoke S.B paused but ran past Jack following.

"I can't leave him" Rose was saying to her family the doctor slipped the device round Roses neck. Pete didn't hesitate as he pressed the button and they all disapered, the doctor moved back to the computer.
Rose didn't hesitate as she tapped the button again, she reapered the doctor said nothing as he opened the breach. As he and Rose held on to the clamps, for a few minutes the dalecks and cyberemn fell into the breach. But the lever came loose, Rose grasped the leaver. Pulling it back into position, but she couldn't hold on.
She let go as S.B crashed through the door Jack on her heels, Rose locked eyes with the doctor as she disapered. The void crumpling back into the wall, S.B ran forwards towards the wall. She dropped her pistol, she banged on the wall. "You can't do this to me!" She yelled as she thumped the wall.
"Shes gone" She sobbed as she crumpled to her knees, resting her head against the wall. Jack stood staring at the wall the doctor stood still watching his daughter. S.B stood and followed the doctor out of the room. She sniffed back her tears as Jack wrapped an arm round her shoulders.
They walked straight to the Tardis, S.B hung her head as she went to her room. Jack stayed with the doctor. "No offense Doc but shes your daughter, shes hurt as well. Your just standing there" Jack yelled the doctor turned towards him, "I know shes hurting Jack, but I just can't belive" The doctor looked away
"What doc?" Jack asked "Go get S.B" He snapped Jack studied him for a moment he turned and headed for S.Bs room. The doctor hung his head "It can't be over Rose, theres still one gap in the universe. Its time to say goodbye" He said to himself.

Rose stood on the beach waiting for any sign of the doctor, he appeared in a ghost like form. "You look like a ghost" Rose commented. "Sorry is this better" He said after he whirred his screwdriver. "I can't belive its goodbye" Rose was saying as she bit back tears.
He nodded holding her gaze, "Your dead back home so many people went missing that day. Your presumed dead, but he you are living a life day after day" He said grinning weakly. "Hows S.B?" Rose asked
"She's coping just about, she really misses you Rose" The doctor said simply Rose grinned "Tell her I love her and I miss her to" Rose let out a sob. It hurt the doctor not to be able to comfort her. He sighed "If this is the last time I'm going to see you, I have to say this I I love you" She sobbed tears falling down her face.
"I guess if this is my last chance to say it, I" He was gone faded away Rose's head fell forwards crying her eyes out. Jackie ran forwards embracing her daughter, as she cried. "Rose be strong ok you have us" Pete said Mickey nodded. "Rose I know its not a good time but, I want to offer you a job head of the alien defense at Torchwood" Pete said Rose grinned "Of course" Rose said hugging Pete.

Jack stood with S.B as did the doctor, S.B stepped forwards placing a rose underneeth the engraving. "Love you mum" She whispered as Jack and the doctor embraced her.
It was Jacks idea, a way they could all say goodbye properly to Rose.

A couple of weeks later...
It was late at night Jack the doctor and S.B were fast asleep or so it seems. S.B slowly removed Jack's arm from around her waist. She padded towards the control room, fully dressed in her jeans and t shirt with a zip up hoody.
She switched on the console, whirring her screwdriver. She flipped switched and turned dials. Every so often looking at the door to the bedrooms, finnaly the screen flashed green. S.B smiled as she pushed a button after pocketing a device.
Jack entred the control room, in search of the kitchen, he looked round and saw S.Bs pjs lying on the rail of the control room. "S.B?" He called softly no reply he saw the screen was flashing.
"Doc!" He yelled as the doctor crashed into the room, "What?" He asked "Look" Jack said pointing. "The bridge has crossed the breach" It read
"Oh no"

S.B materialised she rolled down a sandy hill, coughing as she landed brushing down her clothes. "Don't move!" Someone barked S.B paused "Put your hands in the air, no sudden movements" They continued.
A man and a women stood in front of S.B, both pointing some type of "Proton guns" S.B asked as she crossed her arms. "How did you know that?" The women asked as she moved forwards.
"I know a lot of things" S.B said she turned and walked away, the women ran forwards S.B heard her coming and ran. The man spoke into his radio " Cadet Smith reporting in we have a code nine situation. "Inform Commander Tyler that we have a suspected time traverler."
