Hi everyone, I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, I got into the tiding up that I needed to do and then I sat and read some stories, so I sort of forgot and I'm entitled to as my Grandpa died last Wednesday and I've got his funeral tomorrow, so there won't be any updates during the day tomorrow, if there are any, it will be in the evening when I get home, but then again, I don't know when I'll be home so… Well there probably won't be any at all. But enough about that, let's get on with Rise of the Cybermen part two.

The Tardis blew up.

The Doctor and Rose fell from the captain's chair and Mickey fell to the floor. The Doctor crawled over to the console and pulled himself up, Rose joined him "What's happened?" she asked

"The time vortex." the Doctor said "It's gone. That's impossible. It's just gone!"

The Tardis was falling they could feel it "Brace yourselves!" the Doctor said "We're gonna crash!"

The Tardis suddenly stopped falling and the three of them fell again. Weird looking things fell from above the console. The Doctor got up first and looked around "Everyone all right?" he asked "Rose? Mickey?" He touched Rose's arm and she moved, starting to sit up. He wasn't really concerned about Mickey after what he had done…but he didn't want the man to be hurt.

"I'm fine, I'm okay, sorry, yeah." said Mickey

The Doctor stood up, closely followed by Rose and then Mickey. He looked at the Tardis console and immediately regretted it "She's dead." he said "The Tardis is dead."

"You can fix it." Rose said

"There's nothing to fix." he replied "She's perished." He walked around, flipping switches and pressing buttons, just in case he was wrong "The last Tardis in the universe. Extinct."

"We can get help, yeah?" Rose asked

"Where from?" he asked

"Well, we've landed." she replied "We've got to be somewhere."

"We fell out of the vortex, through the void, into nothingness." the Doctor told her "We're in some sort of no place. The Silent Realm. The Lost Dimension."

"Otherwise known as London." said Mickey from the doorway.

The three of them went outside.

Mickey exited the Tardis first, followed by Rose, then the Doctor who was putting on his coat. "London, England, Earth!" Mickey said "Hold on…" He went over to the bin and picked up a newspaper "It's the 1st of February. This year. Not exactly far flung, is it?"

"So this is London?" asked the Doctor as he and Rose joined Mickey

"Yup."

"Your city?"

"That's the one."

"Just as we left it?"

"Bang on." answered Mickey

"And that includes the zeppelins?" the Doctor asked

Rose and Mickey looked up and spotted two zeppelins "What the hell?" Mickey said

"That's beautiful." Rose commented

Mickey turned to the Doctor "Okay, so it's London with a big International Zeppelin Festival." he said

"This is not your world." the Doctor said

"But if the date's the same…" Mickey started "It's parallel, right? Am I right? Like a parallel Earth only they've got zeppelins? Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?"

"Must be." answered the Doctor

"So, a parallel world where…" Rose said

"Come on, you've seen it on films." said Mickey "Like and alternative to our world where everything's the same but a little different. Like, I don't know, traffic lights are blue, Tony Blair never got elected…"

"And he's still alive." Rose said looking at a billboard "A parallel world where my dad's still alive."

Rose walked towards the advert "Don't look at it, Rose." said the Doctor "Don't even think about it. This is not your world."

"He's my dad." she said "And…" she reached out to the Advert "Trust me on this." it said as she touched it. She pulled her hand back "That's weird." she said "But he's real…"

"Trust me on this."

"He's a success." she said "He was always planning these daft little schemes, health food drinks and stuff. Everyone said they were useless. But he did it."

"Rose, if you ever trusted me, then listen to me now." the Doctor said as Rose looked at the advert "Stop looking at him." he told her, although it hurt him to be like this towards her, but it was the only way to get her to forget about her dad "Your father's dead. He died when you were six months old. That is not your Pete. That is a Pete. For all we know he's got is own Jackie. His own Rose. His own daughter who is someone else, but not you. You can't see him. Not ever."

Rose walked away from the Doctor and stood at the wall, the Doctor headed back into the Tardis, to see if there was any hope of fixing her. Mickey came in "I told you to keep an eye on her." he said

"She's all right." Mickey argued

"She goes wandering off…" said the Doctor "A parallel world, it's like a gingerbread house. All those temptations calling her."

"So it's just Rose, then?" Mickey asked "Nothing out there to tempt me?"

"Well, I don't know." the Doctor said "I can't worry about everything! If I could just get this thing to…" He kicked the console

"Did that help?" Mickey asked

"Yes." said the Doctor as he went to the captain's chair

"Did that hurt?"

"Yes." he answered as he sat down. "Ow." Mickey made his way to the door, but the Doctor stopped him

"Mickey, I want a word with you." he said "You're the reason Rose was so upset yesterday."

"What d'you mean?" Mickey asked

"You left a certain letter where she could find it."

"What the one from Madame de Pompadour?"

"Yeah." the Doctor said, "How could you know that unless you read it?"

"I didn't." Mickey said

"You did." the Doctor pointed out "'Cause I left it in my coat and I don't wear that beyond the console room unless I'm looking for Rose. You went through the pockets didn't you?"

"Yeah." Mickey said "Look. I'm sorry."

"It's not me you should be apologising to." the Doctor told him "Although, I accept it."

"I'll talk to her later."

"Good."

--

Rose walked to a bench and sat down, looking out at the Thames. Her phone started to beep, so she pulled it out. It was a news flash. She watched it.

--

"We're not meant to be here." The Doctor said "The Tardis draws it's power from the universe, but it's the wrong universe. It's like diesel in a petrol engine."

Mickey sat beside him, now that the hostility between the two of them had been partially solved "But I've seen it in comics, people go hopping from one alternative world to another." he said "It's easy!"

"Not in the real world." the Doctor said as he folded his arms "Used to be easy. When the Time Lords kept their eye on everything, you could pop between realities, home in time for tea. Then they died and took it all with them. The walls of reality closed. The worlds were sealed. Everything became that bit less kind."

"Then how did we get here?" Mickey asked

"I don't know." the Doctor answered "Accident. Should've been impossible, now we're trapped." the Doctor stopped talking and started at the floor "What's that?"

"What?" Mickey asked, not seeing what the Doctor could

"That there." the Doctor said, standing up "Is that a reflection?" he went over "It's a light! Is it? Is that a light? I think that's a light." Mickey looked at what the Doctor was showing him and silently agreed. The two of them pulled up the grating "That's all we need." the Doctor told him "We've got power! Mickey, we've got power!"

The Doctor climbed down into the hole they had created and began pulling stuff out "It's alive!"

"What is it?" Mickey asked as the Doctor worked

"Nothing." the Doctor answered "It's tiny. It's one of those insignificant little power cells that no one ever bothers about and it's clinging on to life! It's got one little ounce of reality, tucked away inside."

"Enough to get us home?"

"Not yet." the Doctor replied "I need to charge it up."

"We could go outside and lash it up to the national grid." Mickey suggested

"Wrong sort of energy." the Doctor said "It's got to come from our universe."

"But we don't have anything." Mickey said

"There's me." the Doctor said he blew on the little light and it glowed brighter "I just gave away 10 years of my life." he said "Worth every second."

Well, there we go that's part two. Part three will be up soon.
