Jackie was watching as the car burned rubber fruitlessly.

"Come on!" Mickey yelled as he slammed his foot on the gas pedal, joystick on reverse.

"It's not moving!" The Rebel and Rose screamed to him,

The chain strained inside the Tardis and broke. Rose kicked the console in frustration. She screamed out in frustration.

-

"Advance guard have made it to four nine five." Lynda voiced.

-

"Jack. How're we doing?" The Doctor asked. "Four nine five should be good. I like four nine five." Jack smirked.

-

"Identify yourself!" A Dalek shouted at the Anne Droid. "You are the weakest link. Goodbye!" Anne vaporized three Daleks in a quick succession.

"You are the weakest link-" The Anne Droid's head was shout clean off by another Dalek.

"Proceed to next level." The Dalek said.

-

"They're flying up the ventilation shafts. No, wait a minute. Oh, my God. Why're they doing that? They're going down." Lynda gasped, watching the Daleks on a screen. The were heading for Floor Zero.

-

"Exterminate! Exterminate!" Their voices boomed, causing panic as they entered the floor. Screams and voices filled the airs.

"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"

"You can't! You don't exist! It's not fair! I won the game! I should be rich! I'm a winner! You can't do this to me!" Rodrick cried, cowering by a few crates, while people rushed and screamed past him. The Daleks started to kill the people. Screams slowly became quieter as people fell to the ground.

"Exterminate."

-

Lynda turned off the sound on the console, not able to listen anymore. "Floor Zero." She sniffled. "They killed them all."

-

"It was never going to work, sweethearts. And the Doctor knew that. He just wanted you to be safe." Jackie tried to comfort the Rebel and Rose.

"We can't give up!" Rose insisted. "Lock the door. Walk away." Jackie put her hand on each of the girls shoulder. "Dad wouldn't give up." Rose shook Jackie off. "Well, he's not here, is he? And even if he was, he'd say the same." Jackie said, thinking Rose was just being delusional.

"No, he wouldn't. He'd tell me to try anything. If I could save the Doctor's life, try anything." Rose said.

"Well, we're never going to know." Jackie started to get ready eyed, and a little angry. The Rebel went to the console and slightly ran her fingers over the controls. She wanted to leave the mother and daughter alone, while they fought.

"Well, I know because I met him. I met Dad." Rose smiled. "Don't be ridiculous." Jackie denied.

"The Doctor and Rebel took me back in time, and I met Dad." Rose pleaded.

"Don't say that." Jackie shook her head, eyes glossy.

"Remember when Dad died? There was someone with him. A girl, a blonde girl. She held his hand. You saw her from a distance, Mum. You saw her! Think about it. That was me. You saw me." Rose pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"Stop it!" Jackie raised her voice. Memories of her and her husband flooded her mind. "That's how good the Doctor and Rebel are!" Rose prodded.

"Stop it! Just stop it!" Jackie cried out as she ran out the doors.
