A few minutes after Rose had left me alone in the med bay an alarm began sounding.

I got out of bed, contrary to Rose's orders, and walked to screen on the wall that was flashing.

Active life signs aboard:

TIMELORD: The Doctor

I hit the side of the screen trying to get it to refresh.

It went blank for a couple moments before springing to life again with the same message displayed.

I was sprinting towards Rose's room instantly.

As I swung the door to the room open and glanced around I could tell she hadn't come back to her room, there was a candle as she had said, still perfuming the air with the sweet scent of apple grass.

I turned and ran to the console room hoping to find her, and if not, at least get some idea as to where she had disappeared to.

I ran my hands quickly over the keys of the spanner.

I pulled up the TARDIS data banks and retrieved the footage of the console room from a few minutes before the alarm went off.

I watched as Rose walked into the console room and glanced nervously at the ceiling. She began to talk but I couldn't get the audio to play for some reason, so I watched her as it looked like she was begging the TARDIS to do something. She looked sad as she picked up her jacket off of the jump seat. After a couple moments, and a few more words, she headed towards the doors, her head down cast as she slowly tugged the doors open and stepped through. I could see snow blowing on to the console floor in small tornado like wisps as she closed the door behind her.

I glared at the ceiling as the TARDIS refused to determine its current spacial temporal coordinates and walked to the doors, only to find that they were no longer there.

An audio clip played in surround sound around the console as I banged on the new wall that once held the doors, "take me somewhere the Doctor won't be able to find me".

"You are using that out of context, therefore it means nothing", I said as I walked back to the console set on trying to get the doors back.

"Can you, ah, take me somewhere the Doctor won't be able to find me? Why aren't you helping me? What? You want me to leave? Well there goes my chances of at least you still liking me"

I stopped my ministrations on the console and looked up, my voice terse with the rising anger, "Why would you do that? Why would you help her hide from me, better yet why does she think she needs to hide from me? And even better yet, why did you send her away?"

A couple flashing lights and a quick telepathic transaction later the doors appeared and opened to a white world of snow too thick to see through.

I quickly went to the door and called out to Rose.

After a few calls with no answer, I stuck out my tongue trying to get my bearings as to when and where I was.

I couldn't tell anything as snowflakes coated my tongue, except that it was absolutely freezing.

No time. No idea of where I was. Not even an idea of where to go to find Rose, but I didn't care as I ran out into the cold, barefoot and in my jim jams, in search of my companion.
