The doctor, Rose, Mickey and Reinette all looked up in horror as they watched the reapers eat inocent people. A waitress with four eyes, screamed as a reaper flew down and swallowed her, Rose recognised these things, she'd first seen them when she caused a paradox by saving her father when the doctor took her back in time to see him. But what exactly were they doing here?. "Rose get down!" The doctor yelled and pushed her to the floor as a reaper flew over them.
"What the hells going on?" Mickey asked from underneath their table where he was currently hiding. The doctor and Rose crawled under and Reinette quickly joined them.
"They are called reapers and they feed off changes in time" The doctor explained, out of breathe.
"I don't get it" Reinette said looking confused.
"This my fault Reinette, I'm sorry" he said softly and Rose knew what he meant."I shouldn't of brought you with us. I'm sorry but your out of your time and it's caused a bit of a paradox so I'm going to have to send you back. Your going to have to forget us as well" he said looking remorseful and Reinette glared at him angrily while Rose noticed Mickey looked sad.
"Doctor you cannot sent me back now"
"You've got to or the whole of time is in danger" The doctor said grimly.
"But you can't take away my memories, please let me stay with Mickey!" Reinette cried and the doctor looked taken back. Slowly, Rose and the doctor turned to look at Mickey who shrugged.
"What so I'm not allowed to like her but it's okay for the doctor?"
"So doctor what's the plan?" Rose asked ignoring Mickey, sensing an arguement brewing.
"We're going to run as fast as we can to the tardis which is outside of the hotel. Unfortunately there's probably going to be a hell of lot more reapers outside so we're going to have just leg it. But whatever we do we need to keep Reinette safe and once we're back in the tardis, I'll drop her back in the time she left and wipe her memories. I'm sorry Reinette but I don't have a choice" the doctor looked at Reinette who was crying.
"I won't remember Mickey"
"No but he'll remember you" the doctor said softly.
"I'll miss you" Mickey said, cupping Reinette's face with his hands. Then to everyone's suprise, he kissed her. Rose had to supress a laugh especially at the doctor's shocked expression. They finally parted and Reinette blushed.
"Doctor make sure she's doesn't end up back home a year after she left!" Rose somehow found the time to tease him and he frowned at her.
"That happened once"
"Yeah but everyone spent a whole year accusing me of killing her" Mickey mumbled.
"Poor Mickey" Reinette purred and grabbed hold of one of Mickey's hands.
"And since when did you go off me for Mickey the idoit?" the doctor asked sounding insulted.
"Well he was very nice to me when I got upset the other day. And then he should me how to play cards and we started to talk a bit more. Anyway we both know who you two really care about" Reinette smiled and looked at the doctor then at Rose who looked to the floor awkardly. The doctor missed her point altogether though.
"Well Reinette I'm really sorry but we're going to have to go so we can set time right again" the doctor said and signalled for them to get ready to leg it. They all waited until the doctor counted to three and then jumped out of the table. Several of the reapers saw them and started to chase them through the restaurant and hotel lobby. The doctor grabbed Rose's hand and Mickey grabbed Reinette's and the ran as fast as they could through the front entrance and down the beach. Unfortunately the doctor was right about the reapers and there turned out to be thousands. The doctor saw the tardis coming closer in sight but felt Rose's hand slowly slipping from his own. He turned around and to his horror watched as Rose felt to the floor and was eaten by one of the reapers.
"Doctor move it! get to the tardis quick!" Mickey yelled and tore the doctor's attention away from the spot where Rose had fallen over. The doctor forced himself to carry on and the three of them quickly slipped into the tardis and slammed the doors. "Where's Rose?" Mickey asked noticing her abscence.
"She was...well, they got her" the doctor said slowly, gulping back tears. Mickey's face went pale.
"When we get Reinette back, she'll be alright won't she?" he asked hopefully.
"Maybe but that will depend if Reinette's willing to let me wipe her memories...if she doesn't then time will remain changed and Rose will remain...dead". Reinette heard the sadness in her voice and started to cry herself. She had been so selfish, when she'd been willing to leave Rose behind to marry that alien, that now she knew she had to let him do it. She may not of got on with Rose but she certainly didn't want her dead, especially if it was her fault. She needed to redeem herself for the last time Rose was in trouble and she'd been completely useless.
"Do it doctor" She said softly. The doctor smiled gratefully and Mickey pulled her into a hug.
"Your a hero Reinette" he whispered and Reinette beamed at the compliment.
"Rose is only a child, it's not her time" she replied as the doctor typed in the co-oridinates for 18th century France. Mickey and Reinette held hands as the tardis started to shake. The journey wasn't very long and when they stopped, Mickey and Reinette kissed one last time.
"Thank you Mickey" she said smiling softly."And you too doctor. Take care of Rose for me and please don't hurt her, she is only a child" The doctor pretended he hadn't heard her.
"Reinette you'll need to change into your dress" the doctor pointed out and took her to the tardis wardrobe where her gold, 18th century dress was hung. Reinette smiled and he walked away to let her change. A few minutes later Reinette was back in her old bedroom. "Are you ready?" The doctor asked and Reinette nodded as he put his hands on either side of her face. He closed his eyes and went deep into her mind. He found the memories of her travelling with him and he deleted them. As a favor to Reinette, he allowed her to keep the memories of him saving her from the robots and coming through her fireplace as a child but that was it, the rest she forgot, she forgot about him asking her to come with him, he planted a fake memory in it's place, one where he just left her. When it was done, she collasped and he lifted her onto her old bed. He took one last look at Madam De Pompadour before he got into the tardis and it dematarilised. Inside the tardis, Mickey looked depressed. "You okay?" the doctor asked him, putting a hand on Mickey's shoulder.
"I will be I suppose, let's just hope Rose is on Barcalona, waiting for us". The doctor nodded, hoping really, really hard that she'd be there. If she wasn't he'd be recieving one hell of a smack from Jackie Tyler. The very thought of it filled him with dread. The tardis stopped moving and they realised they were back. The doctor and Mickey exchanged nervous glances and swung open the tardis doors, hoping like hell to see Rose.
