Spent 3 hours looking at DW pics today. I cried. A lot. They kinda took my heart and ripped it into shreds. And oh my god these two videos I saw... Hold on! I have to get the links and show you! It was just... Whoa.

youtube com/watch?v=1H52q7Z64LE&list=FLs-6D_q3XiEqZ45lURe3Lcg&feature=mh_lolz - So fantastically done you'll think it's real.

youtube com/watch?v=ss-zQeNu01k&list=FLs-6D_q3XiEqZ45lURe3Lcg - You will laugh. You will cry. You will laugh while crying. It's that amazing.

Now go! Go and enjoy those two videos! Then you can come back and read my crappy fanfiction!

Edit : Props to CoryAvellana who caught two typos. Once where I confused Jake with Jack's name, which is super easy to do. And where I fixed the part about the Doctor sounding from the north yet British. Should sound a bit better now. Thanks again Cory!

Out of the corner of her eye Donna had seen the bright flash of light. Even with her mom screaming at her to come back she knew she couldn't. She had to find out what was going on, once and for all. Something was happening to the planet, and that blonde knew what it was.

"Hello," Donna spoke up softly, sounding as if she wasn't too surprised to see the young girl in front of her. Rose just smiled sadly as she looked back up at the woman standing in front of her, ready to at least listen.

"Hi."

::

"It's the ATMOS devices," Rose explained, nervously rubbing the back of her neck in a gesture she hadn't quite gotten rid of. "We're lucky, it's not so bad here. Britain hasn't got that much petrol left. But all over Europe, China, South Africa...they're all getting choked by gas." She set her arm back down while still looking up at the sky.

"Can't anyone stop it?" Donna asked, sounding worried at all that was going on around her in this world that, according to this girl, shouldn't exist. Rose just smiled sadly while trying to push the tears back.

"Yeah, they're trying right now. This little band of fighters, on board the Sontaran ship. Any second now," Rose almost choked before she shoved the memories of Jack away. She had been so shocked to see that he was here on Earth in her time, and she was so chewing the Doctor out for that when she saw him. She hadn't even been able to talk to the Captain...not when this universe was already so fragile. And it had killed her not to be able to even hug the man she had come to see as a big brother to her.

A few seconds later and a wave of fire seemed to burn the sky as it ate up the smoke that had been enveloping the planet. Rose smiled sadly as she thought of the people who had risked their lives to save the planet they loved. She glanced over to see that Donna was gaping up at the sky in shock. "And that was?"

"That was the Torchwood team," Rose said softly, thinking about Torchwood and all that it had done. This one was good though, the same way the one in her universe was good. "Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, they gave their lives. And Captain Jack Harkness was transported to the Sontaran home world... There's no one left..." And damn if that thought didn't tear her up inside. She had found out about Jack only to lose him again.

"You're always wearing the same clothes," Donna accused, her eyes darting up and down the girl for a second. Rose looked over at her sadly, knowing how frustrating this had to be for her. If it was her she would have been throwing out some Tyler slaps by now. "Why won't you tell me your name?"

"None of this was meant to happen," Rose explained seriously, sounding close to choking up again. "You see...there was this man. This fantastic man..." she chuckled, a nostalgic smile on her face as the word passed her lips, "and he stopped it. He stopped all of it from happening. The Titanic, the Adipose, the ATMOS, everything."

"That Doctor?" Donna half-asked, feeling as if she should already know all of this. Rose looks over at her softly before half-smiling and looking towards the ground.

"You knew him," she said, as if it was obvious, even though Donna was reeling at that.

"Did I?" Donna asked, "When?" She was confused but there was something...something there itching at the back of her mind. Why did this Doctor sound so familiar when she hadn't even meet him, let alone remembered him.

"I think you dream about him sometimes," Rose smiled. It was impossible not to dream about that man once you met him, he was too big of an impact. "He's a man in a suit, a pinstriped suit. Tall... He's thin, and a little bit foxy," Rose chuckled, remember their New Earth visit well, "He's also rude, very, very rude...and not ginger, although he has great hair. Some...really great hair." She really did try not to laugh. It was just too easy to picture the Doctor's face if he had heard her say that.

"Who are you?" Donna asked softly, although it didn't sound like she was asking for a name anymore.

"I was like you," Rose explained, "I used to be you. You've traveled with him, Donna. You've traveled with the Doctor in a different world, a different universe. The proper universe."

"I never met him, and he's dead," Donna interrupted, trying not to think about the fact that saying that almost killed her inside. Rose seemed to know what she was feeling since she gave her a small smile.

"He died, underneath the Thames on Christmas Eve...but you were meant to be there. He needed someone to stop him, he always needs someone to stop him, that daft man," Rose chuckled, Donna looking at her in confusion. "You made him leave that day. You saved his life."

As a memory that never should have happened floated to the surface of her mind Donna jumped up off the bench and backed away nervously, Rose following her with a worried look. "Stop it! I don't know what you're talking about. Leave me alone!"

"Something's coming, Donna. Something worse than anything you've ever seen," Rose explained quickly, desperate for this woman to believe her. They only had so much time left...

"The whole world is stinking. How can anything be worse than this?" Donna demanded, voice harsh as she thought about all that had happened to her and her family so far. How could anything be worse than what was going on now?

"Trust me. We need the Doctor now more than ever. I've- I've been pulled across from a different universe because every single universe is in danger." She neglected to mention how that was only one reason she was crossing dimensions. The other one was so very, very simple. "It's coming, Donna. It's coming from across the stars and nothing can stop it!"

She needed her Doctor.

"What is coming?!" Donna shouted, her patience finally gone when it came to dealing with this young girl in front of her, whose name she didn't even know.

"The darkness," Rose said quietly. Donna was about to snort before she registered the girl's tone. She made it sound like something so much worse than a few simple lights going out.

"Well, what do you keep telling me for?! What am I suppose to do? I'm nothing special. I mean- I'm-I'm not! I'm nothing special. I'm a temp. I'm not even that! I'm nothing!" Donna yelled, sounding close to hysterics at this point. Whatever was going on she wanted no part in it, she just wanted a normal life with her family...

Although why did that thought feel so wrong.

"Donna Noble...you're the most important woman in the whole of creation," Rose grinned, happily laughing as she looked at the confused woman in front of her. She also absentmindedly made a note to stop using a person's full name. She had probably gotten that from him too. Sometimes it seemed like she had gotten too much from him.

"Oh, don't. Just don't." Donna's self-depreciating laugh quickly faded into anger. Pure anger at not knowing what was happening to her life. "I'm tired. I'm so tired."

"I need you to come with me," Rose finally called as Donna started walking away. She didn't have much time left and she needed Donna to trust her.

"Yeah. Well, blonde hair might work on the men but you ain't shifting me, lady."

"That's more like it," Rose grinned. Oh she couldn't wait to travel with her and the Doctor, she seemed so feisty.

"I've got plenty more," Donna nodded her head and grinned, even though she was silently crying. Rose couldn't help but respect and admire her for that. Even when everything seemed to be going over her she still had a quick retort ready to fly.

"Then you'll come with me, only when you want to though," Rose conceded. Donna couldn't help but bristle at the fact the girl has sounded like she was so sure that she would go with her.

"You'll have a long wait, then," Donna called back, close to chuckling in disbelief at the fact that this girl was underestimating just how stubborn she could be.

"Not really," Rose replied, "Just three weeks. Tell me, does your grandfather still own that telescope?" Rose asked, she also couldn't help but love being the enigmatic one, just for once. She could see why the Doctor loved it so much. Rose grinned as she watched Donna whirl around and stare at her in shock.

"He never lets go of it," she said softly, voice close to tears again.

"Three weeks time. But you've got to be certain because when you come with me Donna, sorry, so sorry, but you're...you're gonna die," Rose explained sadly. If this could be done any other way she wouldn't hesitate in a second...but this time she had no choice in the matter.

Donna was left wondering if she had finally lost it as she watched Rose fade away right in front of her.

::

Rose took deep breaths as she managed to stand in the control room without falling to the ground. Before anyone could even speak to her she had the cannon bracelet off and thrown to the nearest scientist. She was then out the door and down the hall, looking for somewhere to collapse.

When she felt two people lock arms with her and drag her towards a spare room she couldn't be more grateful for her friends. "It's okay to cry, Rosie," Jake said softly, Rose finally hiccuping before quickly wrapping her arms around Jake and burying into his side, Mickey quietly sitting down beside them. She had almost managed to hold on but hearing someone call her Rosie...

"Y-You remember C-Captain Jack, yeah, Mickey?" Rose asked, turning her head to look at him. Mickey nodded uncertainly as he grasped her hand and held on tight. Rose hiccuped before clutching the two even tighter. "H-He...he was there. B-But I couldn't... I couldn't do anything!" she cried, Jake looking like he didn't quite know what to do while Mickey pulled the girl's top half into his side. "I couldn't even tell him I was there!"

Jake and Mickey shared a look before nodding, both deciding that they would stay there as long as Rose needed. They knew she missed the Doctor but it was at times like this they realized just how much she missed the man who had been in her life for so long.

::

When Rose had finally cried herself out she ended up falling asleep, sprawled across the two's laps. Mickey looked like he wanted to move her to a proper bed but Jake just looked amused as he settled in before looking over at his best friend who he had finally come to see was different from Rickey, even if the two did act rather similar. "So...I take it this Captain Jack was rather important?"

Mickey nodded while carefully brushing a stray lock of hair out of Rose's face. "Yeah...he used to travel back with her and the Doctor a while ago...back when the Doctor wore that stupid leather jacket and sounded like a bloke from the North," the man snorted before Rose shifted around in his lap, even though the two were being quiet.

"Lotsa planets have a north," Rose murmured softly before burying herself back into Mickey's jacket, who looked shocked. Jake just looked confused as he stared down at Rose before looking at his friend. He then grew even more confused.

"Wanna tell me why you look like you're about to burst out laughing?" Jake asked, Mickey just shaking his head and trying not to laugh and wake up the blonde in his lap.

"It's just... Those two are in it deep," he muttered before grinning at the man sitting beside him. "Once we get them back we're gonna have to do something to make sure they stay there, otherwise who knows what will happen to them if they get separated again."

"Probably tear the universes apart," Jake chuckled, Mickey nodding in agreement as he looked at the girl in their laps gently. He had long since given Rose up to the Doctor, even back when he had worn that leather jacket. Coming to this universe had only made him throw in the towel for good.

"I'm starting to think there's nothing those two won't do for each other," Mickey said softly, Jake nodding his head in agreement. How far would these two starcrossers go, just to stay by each others side? Rose had almost torn herself apart to get back to him, and who knew what that idiot Doctor had done when she wasn't there to keep him on track.

"By the way..." Jake asked slowly, "How did the Doctor sound like he was from the north if he sounds like he's from London? And he didn't exactly look the type to wear leather..." Mickey chuckled at that, fingering Rose's own leather jacket. If he hadn't known he never had a fighting chance at her he would have when she picked that blue jacket of hers.

"You should have seen his ears," Mickey snickered, suddenly yelping when he felt something pinch his arm. Hard. "What was that for," the man hissed towards Jake, who just held his hands up to show he hadn't done anything. Mickey titled his head in confusion before looking down towards Rose and raising an eyebrow at the twitching smile.

"Told you, no insulting the Doctor. Past or previous." At that Mickey sighed, really he should have known by now. He never really had managed to get away with insulting the man.

"Lodestone testing now at fifteen point four. Repeat, fifteen point four."

Donna looked around the large warehouse in shock at what was all around her. It looked to be filled with scientific equipment she had no clue about, and too many soldiers and scientists to keep track of. Donna followed Rose through the warehouse where she walked towards what looked to be a large computer terminal.

"Ma'am," a woman officer saluted Rose, who just frowned and held her hands up in annoyance before working her way around the woman and to the computer.

"I told you, don't salute," Rose muttered. Now she knew why the Doctor had always hated that so much. It was just so...irritating. That was the only way she could explain it.

"Well, if you're not going to tell us your name," the officer replied while grinning. Rose frowned, she knew the woman just loved annoying her, it was all she could do to get back at the fact that Rose refused to tell her all the facts about what was going on. There was simply too much she couldn't say, and UNIT never seemed to realize that.

Ugh...the Doctor was right to hate being in places like this.

"What, you don't know either?" Donna asked, sounding surprised as Rose started pulling up the files she needed.

"I've crossed too many different times and realities," Rose explained while flipping through to what she needed, "Trust me, the wrong word in the wrong place can change an entire casual nexus." And damn if she didn't feel proud of being able to know what she was talking about for once. She also couldn't help but think that her mom had been right so long ago when she had still been by the Doctor's side.

She was like him. Although...she supposed that was just something that happened when you ended up falling in love with a thousand or so year old Time Lord. She couldn't stop the small snort that escaped her when she thought about what he had said his age was. 900...right... He was either lying or he had lost count and his big Time Lord ego wouldn't let him admit it.

"She talks like that. A lot," the officer sighed, Rose grinning. She enjoyed annoying the woman back as much as she enjoyed annoying her. Maybe it was just a time traveler thing, not liking the military. Or it was just a Doctor thing. "And you must be Miss Noble."

"Donna," the woman nodded, still trying to look around without being too surprised at what was going on. Rose thought she was doing a rather good job. Better than Mickey when he had first seen the TARDIS, that had...that had not gone over well.

"Captain Erisa Magambo," the Captain smiled. "Thank you for this."

"I don't even know what I'm doing," Donna spoke back, Rose looking up from the computer as she did so. She should probably distract the woman before she ended up having a full blown panic attack.

"Is she awake?" Rose asked, looking excited at seeing the Doctor's beloved ship again. She always would feel like a little child next to that ancient box, how could one not?

"Seems to be quiet today," Magambo replied. "Ticking over. Like it's waiting," she explained as the trio of women walked over towards the large blue box that was hooked up to connectors and equipment on the outside. Rose had been very specific when saying what was allowed where.

"Do you want to see her?" Rose asked, grinning as she looked at the blue wooden box standing in front of her, still proud even though she was so, so tired.

"What's a police box?" Donna asked, sounding like she didn't really care either way. Although...something about this box... Something was familiar about it.

"They salvaged it from underneath the Thames. Just go inside." She was gonna love watching this, it had been amusing enough when the scientists had been ranting about her going against everything they had ever known. Rose wished she could have gotten it on camera, just to see the Doctor's reaction to it.

"What for?" Donna asked. Really...it was just a box.

"Just go in," Rose jerked her head towards the box, tone of voice saying she didn't have much of a choice. Donna rolled her eyes before slowly walking towards it and entering, Rose smiling the whole time.

"No. Way." Rose couldn't help but let out a small laugh as Donna stepped back out of the box and backed up, checking the outside before going back inside and then out again. Watching Donna Rose now knew why the Doctor enjoyed that so much. It was rather fun to watch.

"What do you think?" Rose asked, trying not to laugh again.

"Can I have a coffee?" Oh she knew there was a reason the Doctor liked her.

::

"Time And Relative Dimension In Space, or TARDIS," Rose grinned, circling the console and letting one hand trail over the levers and buttons gently. "This room used to shine with light, and it was beautiful! Oh you should have seen her play music! Any song you could think of, and then some, and the lights would keep in time with the tempo...it was beautiful... Especially when she played In the Mood, by Glen Miller..."

"Didn't much take you for a jazz lover," Donna half-grinned, watching as Rose seemed to come out of her thoughts before giving her a shaky smile and laughing.

"Oh I wasn't...only for that song..." Shaking her head Rose gently placed her hand on the large column in the middle, the time rotor. Donna wasn't quite sure how she knew that but she brushed it off as maybe just having heard it said earlier. "I think she's dying..." Donna looked sadly at the young girl in the pure pain she had heard in her voice.

Donna watched in shock as the rotor moved just a little bit, a small sound that seemed so familiar. "Still trying to help, just like always," Rose murmured sadly before feeling a faint hum at the back of her mind, almost as if it was barely there. Rose Tyler in the TARDIS...it sounded so, so wrong.

So very wrong without the Doctor.

"And...and it belonged to the Doctor?" Donna asked, Rose having to fight the urge to correct her to use 'she' and not 'it'. She could do that later, when the Doctor was here with her to get defensive over his ship.

"He was a Time Lord," Rose explained softly, "He was the last of the Time Lords..."

"But if he was so special then what was he doing with me?" Out of everything that she had learned that was the part that shocked her most. Why would someone who sounded so brilliant be with someone like her...

"He thought you were brilliant," Rose smiled, stating it as if it were fact.

"Don't be stupid," Donna scoffed, taking a drink of her coffee. Rose just shook her head in response.

"But you are. It just took the Doctor to show you that, just by being with him. He did the same to me...he does the same to everyone he touches..." she said proudly, trying to ignore the way her voice sounded thick. She quickly took a sip from her own mug, trying to buy herself enough time to collect her thoughts.

It was true though. The Doctor made everyone he touched so much better...he showed them a different way, a better way, of living one's life. When that thought crossed her mind she remembered what she had told her mom and Mickey, all those years ago when the Doctor had first tried to send her back.

"It was a better life. And I don't mean all the traveling and seeing aliens and spaceships and things. That don't matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life. You know he showed you too. That you don't just give up! You don't just let things happen! You make a stand. You say no. You have the guts to do what's right when everyone else just runs away!"

"Were you and him?" Donna asked quietly, tilting her head to the side curiously. Rose tried not to let the hurt show on her face but judging by Donna's expression she probably didn't do that good a job. Honestly she wasn't sure what those two were anymore... Looking over at Donna her hand absentmindedly touched the woman's shoulder.

"Do you want to see it?"

"No." Rose just kept grinning. She knew she would give. "Go on, then."

::

Rose stared down at Donna sadly. She knew the woman would go back to the right universe and she would barely even remember this...but she was still sad that she had to have done this in the first place. Bending down Rose smiled softly at the woman, so glad that she had trusted her.

"Tell him this," Rose whispered into her ear. "Two words." Quickly whispering the words in Donna's ear she grinned as the woman almost seemed to vanish. "Almost there, Doctor. So very close..." Rose laughed, full of joy as the world around her slowly faded away. She wasn't sure if it was the world or if it was her being pulled back.

She knew the Doctor would assume the worst when he heard those words, that he would think it was a message for the end of the universe. Well...he wouldn't exactly be wrong...but hopefully he would understand the second message of those words. Those beautiful and fantastic words that had helped to lead her back to him.

His Wolf was coming back to her Storm.

*howling wolf sound* That's riiight! Soon, oh very soon, Rose and the Doctor meet again! *bouncing in seat* Just gotta get through a few rough patches...honestly...I don't think Rose would have carried that huge gun. She's too much like the Doctor, hating guns and weapons. Hm...
