Some of this is written in Rose's point of view, for a change. :)
Rose nearly dropped the tea that she had just picked up. What could the Doctor possibly be yelling at? What if the communicator had malfunctioned and hurt him? Please, let him be okay, Rose thought desperately. She, Amy, and Rory all darted into the next room.
"Doctor! Are you okay?" Rose yelled. The three of them stopped in the room to find the Doctor crouched over a strange-looking device that was about twice the size of a book. The thing, which looked as though it had been slapped together as a screen taking up the top half and a small keyboard on the bottom half, was beeping and whirring. The little lights on the top of it started to flash red, then it quickly turned to green. The Doctor turned around to see Rose and the Ponds standing behind them. He grinned wildly and began to laugh.
"I've done it! I'm about to communicate through the screens on the TARDIS!" he said joyously. He began to type on the keyboard and the screen fuzzed black and white, like a TV trying to tune to some channel. Soon, the interior of the TARDIS flashed up on it, flickered a few times, and then went still. It was safe to say that everyone in the room was holding their breath. Suddenly, a man onscreen walked past. He seemed to be deep in thought, and tears were running down his cheeks.
"Doctor!" Amy cried out. The man popped his head back into view, followed by the rest of his body. He rushed towards the screen and put his face rather close to it.
"A-Amy? Is that you?" he sniffled, his eyes wide in shock.
"Amy? Is that Amy?" called a familiar woman's voice from somewhere else in the TARDIS.
"River! Doctor! It's me! It's really me! Rory's here too, Doctor. We're alive," she said, tears streaming down her face as she grinned. Rory moved into the view of the communicator. "Hello!" he called. River came into the view on the other side and her face broke out in a wild grin. "How..?" was the only thing she could say. Everyone in both rooms, this little bedroom in Norway, and the TARDIS control room, was crying happy tears. Everyone but Rose, who was standing out of view, her hands over her mouth. This was not her Doctor. This was a regeneration… but how many Doctors had passed since ten? She had no idea. But she couldn't bring herself to step into view. This man was unfamiliar, and she had her human Doctor here with her. She moved over to him and took his hand. He looked down at her and sympathetically squeezed her hand. Meanwhile, the Doctor onscreen began to ask the questions.
"But… how did you survive? The Angel should have killed you, sent you back in time," he said inquisitively.
"It was weak, Doctor," Amy said with a breathy laugh. "It only sent us to another world. But not ours. Brian doesn't recognize us, our house is gone…" She was about to mention Rose and the human Doctor when she saw Rose's body shaking a bit. She was crying. For some reason, it seemed like she didn't want to talk to him. Amy didn't push her to do so, and focused back on the screen, thinking it better to not mention Rose right now.
"Right," the Doctor was saying, "I might be able to get you back."
Amy was relieved. "How?" Rory took her hand.
"I just have to lock on to your location and I can probably send the TARDIS there. Just a minute," he said, and took off running around the TARDIS control room, flipping switches and hitting buttons until the familiar noise came back to her. A chill went through Amy – she thought she would never hear that noise again. It was, right now, the best noise in the world.
"Geronimooooo!" the Doctor yelled, laughing. He grabbed on to the edges of the control board, and River did the same. They were both laughing, grinning like maniacs, flying through space to their loved ones.
"Let's go!" the human Doctor shouted. Rory and Amy jumped, but the four of them ran as fast as humanly possible to the beach of the bay, Amy holding the communicator close to her. It was still dark out, but as they reached the beach, they could clearly see the blue shape of the TARDIS beginning to materialize. It faded in, faded out, faded in, faded out, until the glowing light on the top and the rest of it was completely solid. For about ten seconds, everyone was completely frozen in their spot. Then, the door to the TARDIS opened and the stillness was broken. Amy began to run toward the Doctor, her arms outstretched to him. She had almost reached him – he was right there. She prepared herself to crash into him, for a hug. They finally were about to crash into each other, but then Amy went right through him. The momentum of her stance made her fall over and she hit the sand. Her body began to flicker, like an electronic image. She looked down at herself in horror as the Doctor turned around. The smile was completely gone from his face. He looked at Amy with the same expression of pure horror, absolute terror.
"No," he whispered. "NO!" he shouted, and rushed over to her, kneeling down on the sand. "No, no, no, no, no," he began to cry. Rory had already rushed over and was next to the Doctor, over Amy.
"Doctor?" she said, her voice stricken with terror. "W-what just happened?" Her voice made her sound like she was dying, fading away. The Doctor just shook his head, tears streaming down his face. He reached for Rory's chest, and his hand passed right through. Rory began to flicker, too.
"My…my Ponds," he whispered.
Rose had been watching this entire scene from a small distance, and she was equally shocked as it played out. Slowly, she walked toward this strange yet familiar man. "D-Doctor?" she managed to get out, very quietly. He whipped around, his face changing. "Rose," he gasped. "But…how did I get here? I should've ripped a hole in the…" He trailed off as the realization dawned on him.
"Oh, Ponds. I'm so sorry," he whispered. "I'm so, so, so sorry. This is all my fault."
