Gallifrey

Utterly surprised and more than a little confused, Martha Jones continued walking what she believed to be northward, in search of civilization of some sort. She was beginning to get tired, but she decided not to stop until she reached a town or city. She knew she'd need to be prepared for anything. The cities could be underground or on top of the mountains or in a lake of some sort. She was thinking of every possible place you could put a city when she saw something in the distance that she thought might actually be a city. It was surrounded by a sphere-like translucent structure. It looked very similar to a bubble, and it left Martha extremely surprised….and sarcastic. This was something she hadn't thought of.

"A bubble? A city……in a bubble? Doctor, I knew it would be different here, but a bubble?" She muttered, not quite believing it, but continuing to walk towards the city, "I mean, first I get stuck on this planet with no way home, and , so yeah, I go looking for a city, and….oh, look, a city in a bubble! I mean, who would put a city in a bubble?"

By this time, she had almost reached the city and could now see large silver spaceships flying through the air, and she could hear this soft but enchanting singing in her ears. She looked around, but couldn't find its source. It sounded like a female voice, but she couldn't be sure. She'd lost her sarcasm after the realization that she was far away from home and, to top that, alone, finally began to sink in.

"I told you Earth, Doctor," she sighed, "My home…..not yours."

She approached what she expected to be the gates or the way into the city, but she didn't reach them. She felt sharp pain on the back of her head from a blow that used an impressive amount of force and she fell, her eyesight blurring and eventually fading.

The Powell Mansion- Parallel Earth

Rose Tyler sat rocking her baby sister, Anne, while staring out the window. In between the gurgling of her little sister, the only sound was an occasional sigh from herself. It was raining outside, so her weeping willow was off-limits. She really just wanted to take a good book out there and read until she could no longer see the words.

She didn't feel like baby-sitting, but it gave her mum a break, and she needed one badly right now. Anne was on a rampage, it seemed, this week, and it was driving her mum mad. Rose smiled, remembering the scene that had played out a few moments ago. Jackie had entered the family room, in which Rose now sat, and had thrust Anne into Roses' arms.

"This child will be the death of me!" She'd exclaimed, her eyes wild.

"What happened?" Rose had asked, repositioning Anne onto her hip better.

"Rose, you won't believe this! She drew all over my walls with a red crayon!" Her mum had answered, staring at Anne, who, as if sensing her distress, giggled.

"Mum, she's just a kid. You have to teach them," Rose had tried to explain.

"I know, Rose, and I've tried. She just won't listen," Jackie had replied, a defeated look in her eyes.

"Well, let me keep her for a little while. You go to the shop or something," Rose had offered, knowing her mum would never refuse a good shopping spree.

"Thank you, Rose. Are you sure you can handle that right little tyrant?" Jackie had asked, glancing at Anne.

"Yeah," Rose had answered.

After all, Rose wasn't intimidated. Why should she be? Anne never acted up when rose was watching her. Rose thought that she only did it to see Jackie in a fuss.

"You're going to turn out just like me, Anne," Rose had told Anne just after Jackie had left.

Rose was having a fairly good day, but her thoughts of the Doctor never completely left her. She'd see something that reminded her of him in every room she went in. It was complete torture, but Anne helped. She was finally starting to open up, well, if you can call spending time with an eleven month old opening up. But, it was a lot…….for Rose.



"It's a start," Rose sighed, watching Anne play with blocks in the floor. Just then, the doorbell rang, and Rose grabbed Anne from the floor to go and answer it. She went to the door, looked through the keyhole, gasped, and quickly threw back the door.

Tardis

The Doctor stared at the interchanging Gallifreyan symbols on the screen for what seemed like eternity. The screen never lost its appeal to his lonesome sad eyes. He just stared….until the Tardis interrupted him, that is.

Theta, what are you doing?

"Tardis, I'm busy," He replied.

No, you're not.

"Excuse me, I think I'd know if I was busy or not, thank you," The Doctor snapped.

A pause.

You're not busy, Doctor. Only grieving.

"Tardis, I'm perfectly fine. I'm not grieving. Martha's fine and dandy, home where she belongs. Why would I grieve over someone being home?" He replied.

Of course, a foolish thing for me to suggest.

The Doctor knew that she knew what he was really grieving over, and he didn't mind that she knew. He just didn't want to be asked about it, that was all. His eyes left the screen for a moment and traveled around the consol room.

"So empty," He sighed," Rasillon, no one loves me anymore."

He'd tried to lighten the somber mood, but the effect it had was the opposite of the intended. He just felt worse, because he knew that there was someone who loved him. There was Rose.

Hmmm………hmmmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmm………

"It's about time you leave me to my thoughts," The Doctor whispered under his breath.



The Tardis hummed what sounded like a chuckle and the Doctor reached for the lever. That's when he saw it. A silver cell phone, the one Martha had given him the first time she'd left. He'd come back and she'd picked up traveling with him again, and made him keep the phone, just in case.

"Martha probably won't be calling you again," He told the phone, "I really missed it up this time."

As if hearing his remark, the phone's ringer sounded, a fast beat tune that took the Doctor offguard. He cautiously reached for the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"
