Yo! So here's the update! I hope it doesn't disappoint! Review please!

It was a marvelous day. The morning sun was just rising on the horizon, lighting up the planet with its blinding rays. The grass was soft and green, making the hill look like it was covered in an emerald-colored blanket. On top of the hill was a blue police box and next to it were two people laying on a brown coat, smiling for the joy of being together.

The man grasped the woman's smaller and in his and kissed it. He gazed into her eyes and smiled softly. She gave him a quizzical look. "What?"

Shrugging, he looked back at the sky. "Nothing special. No. Wait. Scratch that. It is something special."

The blonde giggled at him. "And what, pray tell, is so special?"

He switched his attention back to her and said, "Well, I was just thinking about a story I know. The oldest one in the universe and the best one too."

"Tell me."

"Okay," he cleared his throat to tell the story. "there was this man. He was traveling and he met this girl. Beautiful, she was. Blonde hair, brilliant smile. All pink and yellow. Like the sky just there." He nodded to the sunrise. "But we all know it isn't just about features. That sky looks gorgeous, but it's really all just gasses and fumes from the city floating up into the atmosphere. The sun is painting them different colors and making it appear the way it is."

"So, this girl is actually full of gasses and just makes herself look nice?" She joked.

He chuckled. "No, not at all. This girl was brave and intelligent. She did what was right just because it was and she stopped others from doing the wrong thing because it wasn't. The man had been broken. He was so, so broken and lost. But since he met her, she had healed him and changed his life forever. They travel all over the cosmos, saving others and each other at the same time. They're the stuff of legends. And you know what?" He asked.

She shook her head, still grinning.

He placed his hand on her cheek. "I love her so much for that." He leaned in gently, their breaths mingling, but just as his lips were about to make contact with hers, his arms were empty and she was gone.

He jumped to his feet and realized that his surrounding had changed. No longer was he on a hillside watching a sunrise with the woman he loved. The world around him was a steady, smoky grey. Nothing was happening. It was just him and the grey.

Where was she?! He needed to find her. She wasn't supposed to leave him. He needed to protect her!

"Rose! Rose!" He called out into the greyness. But there was no sound. Nothing.

Without warning, the ground beneath him collapsed and he was falling into a deep, dark pit. Darkness swallowed him up. He continued falling and falling. Never stopping, never slowing. All that was became pitch black and, although he couldn't see it, something plunged into his chest and ripped out his heart.

He screamed in agony, but there was no one to hear it, to rescue him. His throat burned with his cry of torture and there were cold tears streaming down his face. The hole in his chest didn't stop there though. It bled into his mind and body, feeding off of his being. All the while, he was sinking into this world that could only be described as hell.

There was no relief. Nowhere was there any place of shelter. He couldn't even see! He was so lost and there was no freedom from the pain that tore through him over and over again.

And it never stopped until, out of nowhere, he dropped onto a hard, cold floor. He reached out in front of him and his hand met a glass wall. Almost instantly, a small light began to shine from behind it.

Placing his hand up against the light, he stood and listened for anything. When there was nothing to be heard, the man peered in and saw something coming out of the brightness. It was…a person. It was…

It was her!

He threw himself up against the glass and thrashed against it. All he wanted was to get to the other side so he could hold her, the one he loved, but it was no use. The wall didn't budge and the glass wouldn't break. Nothing was working!

After a few minutes of failed attempts, he crumpled to the ground in a sobbing mess and the light was extinguished from his sight. Once again, he was drowned in the infinite blackness.

"Doctor! Doctor!" The Doctor jolted up, nearly knocking Donna in the face. He was sprawled across a sofa in the TARDIS's library. He must've fallen asleep there while reading.

"Doctor, are you alright?" His concerned companion asked. She was leaning over him with a worried expression on her face.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

She pointed at him. "You're crying."

The Doctor reached up and swiped a hand across his cheek. It was wet. He scrubbed a hand down his face to dry it.

"What happened?" Donna asked.

He shook his head. "It was nothing," he said to get her to leave the subject. But Donna was never very good at leaving things alone.

She placed a hand on her hip. "Didn't look like nothing." She commented and then sat down beside him. "Do you want to talk 'bout it?"

He stayed silent, because, honestly, he absolutely did not want to talk about it. It wasn't any of her business anyway. She'd never even met Rose before.

But she had to keep on persisting. "Doctor-" He stood, cutting her off.

"I'm fine. Donna, look, I'm fine. It doesn't matter." He left the room without a second thought. There had to be some sort of maintenance he could do on the TARDIS to keep his mind off things.

"So," Donna began as she entered the console room. "Where next, Spaceman?"

The Doctor jumped up from underneath the console and began to dance around it, flipping controls as he went. "Well, I actually need some parts for the TARDIS, so we'll be going to a marketplace next."

"Great! Love a good shopping spree." She replied.

He set the coordinates and activated the dematerialization sequence. Within no time at all, they had landed.

"Crona!" The Doctor exclaimed as they exited the police box onto a dusty street swarming with people buying and selling. "The mightiest nation on the planet of Poosh. Or at least, they will soon be the mightiest. Right now, they're just about average. In a hundred years or so, the son of their king will build an empire that will last for over two thousand years. Amazing, really."

"Alright, you go get those parts you need and I'm gonna go clothes shoppin'." She began to walk away, but then stopped. "Oh."

"What?"

She turned back around. "You don't happen to have any cash on you, do you?"

Sighing exaggeratingly, he dug around in his pockets for the money he had brought specifically for the TARDIS parts. Good thing he had extra. "There's forty kads. That's their currency." She snatched it and started off again. "Don't spend it all in one place!" He called after her.

"'Course I will!" She laughed back.

He shook his head fondly. Now, where was that one stall?

Rose took in her surroundings. She had just landed in some alleyway. Why was it always alleyways? She looked at her coordinates and saw that she was in Crona on a planet called Poosh. Wherever that was. Although she had been traveling all over for a few months, she still had no idea about planets and things like that. There was still just so much out there!

She walked out of the alleyway and into a marketplace. There were vendors shouting out deals and prices about their goods. Customers were swarming all over the place, searching and talking and buying.

The people were all the same. They looked like humans, but had strange markings on their foreheads. They were dressed in robes like the ones she saw when she landed on Keeza. Not many people really glanced her way, as they were preoccupied with their own business.

Rose decided that she better get going if she was actually planning on searching for the Doctor here. She weaved through the busy people of Crona, occasionally glancing at the stalls and their goods. Just because she was traveling most of the time didn't mean that she couldn't take care of herself by shopping every once in a while. Although, she didn't really have much of a place to take it when she got it. Usually, she just stayed the night wherever she ended up.

At one jewelry stall, she noticed a human woman, or something that looked like one, that was examining some of the pieces displayed there. Curious, she walked over to speak with her and see just where she was from.

"It's beautiful." She commented about the necklace the ginger woman was holding. "You should get it."

She looked up, startled, but then smiled kindly. "No. I don't need something like that. It would look silly on me."

"'Course it wouldn't. Here, let me see." She took the necklace and held it up against the woman's neck. "There. Ya see? Gorgeous."

The woman didn't especially look convinced. "I don't know."

Why couldn't she see it? "No, I mean it. It looks beautiful. Look at yourself." She held up the mirror that was set on the table while still holding the necklace up with one hand and allowed her to see it.

The ginger gazed at herself for a second before giving a small laugh and looking at Rose. "You know what? I think you're right." She took the necklace from Rose and spoke to the vendor. "Hey, you there. I'll take this."

Rose smiled at her while she handed over the money.

"D'you do this for everyone? Walking 'round givin' people advice?"

She laughed. "No. I'm actually lookin' for a friend of mine. Been for a while now."

The woman nodded in understanding. "Know exactly what you mean. Got me a friend, always running off. Never know when you're gonna see'm next." The vendor handed her the box with the necklace inside. "Thanks."

They began to walk away from the stall and down the lane in the direction Rose had been heading earlier. "So, what're you doin' here?"

"Well, me and that friend have been travelin' for a while. He was getting' parts for our ship, so I decided to go shopping."

"Good idea. How long have you been traveling?" She inquired.

She shrugged. "I dunno. A few months. But I love it. There's just so much out there. So much to see. How can I stay home knowin' that?"

Rose grinned at her. "That's exactly how I used to be."

"What made you stop?"

"I didn't want to, really. So, what places have you gone to?" She changed the subject, really not wanting to talk about that with a stranger.

"I've been everywhere. It's all so amazing! My friend and I go to the most wizard places. And he's amazing too, my friend, that is. He is so intelligent, I don't know why he bothers with me."

Rose was surprised by this woman's low self-esteem. "What d'you mean? Why shouldn't he?"

"Well, I'm nothing special. Just a temp from Chiswick, me."

They stopped walking. "'Course you are. I've only known you for a few minutes and even I can see that. I'm just a London girl from the estates and look at me. Here I am on an alien world. Anyone who can't see how special you are is blind and prob'ly a jerk anyway."

The woman smiled, but didn't look persuaded. "I should be getting' back to my friend. He'll be waitin' for me. Oh! There he is."

Rose looked to where the woman was pointing and her heart stopped.

Not thirty feet away, talking to a vendor while holding some sort of mechanical part, was the Doctor.

I am really proud of the dream part that I put in there. I tried to make it tell the story of how he lost her. They were so happy and in love and then she was gone. Once that happened, the Doctor fell into depression. He looked for any way to get back, but he couldn't get through the wall to Pete's world without destroying both. Thoughts on this?

I also get so sad whenever Donna thinks so little of herself. Look at her. She is an amazing woman! Even without the Doctor she was. To bad we didn't see more of her. Does anyone agree?

Do I also didn't exactly give you a reunion yet. But I promise that in the next chapter you will. Review please!
