"The wind stopped.
The noise stopped.
The ring on my finger felt heavy, heavier than it ever had before."
Several people gasped at seeing the ring on roses finger non more so than rose and the doctors
"My feet barely touched the floor before they were flying towards the wall."
10: Wait is this...? Some of the others were confused at 10's reaction to the scene
"That godforsaken white wall.
The breach.
The closed breach."
Me: Yes it is this Canary wharf but with a different outcome
"I collapsed against the wall in shock.
I was slamming my hands against it over and over again.
“No! Noo! Give him back! Open! Give him back! You can’t have him too!” The wall didn’t answer my pleas. Neither did he."
Me: In this universe your lever was the one to falter which resulted in ending up in pete's world 10 is in shock at this as are several others
"He was gone. The void had sucked him up only for at the very last minute to be saved from eternal agony by Pete. A different unending torment. Saved from one only to be thrust into another."
Several people were crying and at seeing the state of rose on the screen 9 & 10 hug rose doing their best to comfort her
"My hands slid down to my lap, and I rested my head against the white wall. I was numb with shock; I couldn’t move. He was gone. The Doctor was gone. My Theta was gone. My husband was gone. My Soulmate was gone. I am going to stay here forever. The last place I saw him. Until I turn into nothing, I will be here. I will wait; maybe he will find a way back. Maybe he was wrong, and the void could be traversed again after it was closed."
Rose: I really married the doctor? Me: Yes in this universe you and 10 got married after the impossible planet which was the divergent point of yours and this one Rose: What planet? And is it possible for the doctor to reopen the void long enough to come back? Me: Spoilers River chuckles at that
11 interrupts me as he looks down as he shakes his head: Once that hole closed there is no way to reopen it
If one was to try it cause both universes to collapse
Rose falls silent at 11's words as 9&10 continue to hug her
"The room was silent, except for my quiet sobs. I guess that made it easier to hear them. The voices. People were coming. Probably Torchwood People. Good, they should see what it is they did. What agony they caused. They wouldn’t be able to move me. I would stay here forever. A reminder of what they did, staring them in the face."
10: Oh rose I'm sorry Rose: Not your fault 10: But- Rose turns her head to whisper something into his ear so only he can hear but 9 is right so he heard it as well also 11 & 12 also know what rose said cause they are 10s futureselves but the others are confused at 10s paling features
"You have to get up. You need to save yourself. You need to save the TARDIS."
TheDoctors gasp at the voice as they've heard before but rose shouldn't be able to hear it
"The voice echoed in my head. At first, I thought it sounded like him, but then I realized that was right. The voice sounded familiar, like I’d known it all my life. My conscious, maybe. Whatever it was, it made sense. It was just me left here, and the TARDIS was too. Torchwood would never let her go if they found her also. I couldn’t let them defile his home, my home. Our home."
Everyone smiles(despite the somber mood) at the last part as the tardis is home to them even if they don't travel with the doctor anymore
"I push myself up on wobbly legs. The head rush that came with the sudden motion gave way to the blinding pain in my head. I knew deep in my soul that the pain was my bond with him. Our soulbond, our marriage bond. Severed. Broken. I would have to deal with that later. The pain and the reality of a broken bond."
"Once my legs were steady enough, I made my way out of the white room. I didn’t look back at the wall. I stayed out of sight, but the voices hadn’t reached this level yet. They were still clearing the floors. I found the TARDIS right we had left here. She was standing there in all her beautiful blue glory. The door open as I reached her; I hadn’t even reached for my key yet. It would be a long time before I realized how significant that moment was. She didn’t look any different on the inside. Still coral, still beautiful. But she felt different; she felt sadder. The lights were dimmed, and she was giving off low sounding hums. As if she was crying."
The doctors gasp at the doors of the tardis opening without a key or them snapping their fingers 10: The tardis loves rose very much it seems Rose smiles: She's wonderful and very helpful whenever I got lost Some of the others were shocked Amy: Wait so she didn't move your room around constantly or mislead you to different rooms Rose tilts her in confusion: No she would either move the door of the room closer to me or use the lights to guide me to the right room Clara: Wow the tardis really loves you I can't tell you how many times I got lost or my room moved around
"I walked up to the consul. I put my right hand on the only part that wasn’t covered in buttons or knobs or anything else."
“Please. You need to help me. I don’t know how to fly you, but we need to get out of here. He’s gone, but we need to save ourselves. Show me a sign. Show me what to do, to get out of here.” My voice was small and choked with tears."
"She let out another hum: this one different, more alert. I looked up from my hand. There was a spotlight coming from who knows where. It was shining on a button."
11 gasps: She is helping you fly her I never knew she could do that Rory: Isnt there a manual for the tardis? 12: Yes there is but unfortunately one of my past selves threw into a sun when it didn't tell him what he wanted The others deadpanned at the doctors who chuckle sheepishly Rose shakes her head at this but giggles as she imagines the doctor doing just that
"I pushed it.
The light moved to another button. I pushed that one.
This time a knob.
Another button.
A twirly thing.
Another knob.
And finally, the lever."
"I had seen him do this sequence before. I remembered it now. It set us adrift in the time vortex. That worked. We didn’t have anywhere else to go."
"I pulled the lever."
"The TARDIS shook and rumbled for a moment before it stopped. I didn’t know if it had worked. I didn’t know how to read the curricular Gallifreyan. I guess there was only one way to check. I went to the door and opened it. I knew she would extend the atmosphere and keep me protected from the vortex."
"There it was. The time vortex. A swirling world of different colors. It was beautiful to look at. I had loved sitting in the doorway as we sat adrift. We would sit together, his arms around me, and just be together. It never lasted very long, he had a tough time sitting still, but he would do it for me. With me, I loved those moments. It hurt to look at the vortex now; it brought back a lot of memories. I closed the door and turned back away. I should have turned the other way because it was there, lying across a coral strut. Right where he had tossed it before all of this had happened."
"His jacket."
"The tan trench coat that he always wore no matter what the temperature was. He only ever took it off when he was getting angry at whatever it was we were fighting. For today, that had been the Daleks and the Cybermen. Both formidable enemies that never seemed to leave him alone. They haunted him, always popping up whenever we were sure they were gone."
"I grabbed the arm of the coat and pulled off the coral strut. It smelled just like him. I made it a few steps away from the door towards the consul, but my legs collapsed under me. A sob broke out from my chest, and the broken sound echoed around me. I balled his jacket up and curled on the floor."
"And there on the floor, clutching his jacket, I let it all out."
"I cried for Pete. The alternate version of my father, who I never really got to know. He had risked everything coming back, and I owed him my life for that. But he would never know because he was on the other side of the wall."
"I cried for Mickey, my best friend from nappies, who I would never see again. I had mourned him once before when he had left once before, but this was a different kind of pain. Combined with everything else."
"I cried for my mum. She was gone from me as well. Trapped on the other side, but I knew she would be okay. I had seen the way she looked at Pete, and he, her. They were each other’s second chance to be happy. I hoped they were. I had to believe that they would be."
"I cried for him."
"My husband was taken from me far too soon. I was the one supposed to leave him in 50 years. It would have been hard for him in unimaginable ways, but he would have our memories of decades together. Saving the universe and running everywhere. We had only been married for a few months. We had come to tell my mum today, before all this. It was supposed to be a happy trip to Earth. Not this."
"He was gone, trapped in another universe. And I was here, lying on the floor of a machine that I don’t know how to fly. Mourning everything and everyone I had ever known and loved being taken from me."
"But most of all, I cried for myself."
"I had no idea what to do now. Where to go? How to get there? Who to be? None of it mattered because I was alone. Alone except for the TARDIS."
"I cried, and I cried. I cried until I was too exhausted to do anything else. I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep right there on the floor. Clutching his jacket and welcoming the darkness."
Everyone gasp at seeing rose collapse like that and look at me to start the next one
