All the Time in the World - The Doctor {2}

Rise of the Cybermen

The Doctor, Jennifer, Rose and Mickey were in the TARDIS. The Doctor, Jennifer and Rose were sitting together while Mickey was standing. "And that weird munchkin lady with the big eyes? Do you remember? the way she looked at you! And then she opens her mouth and fire comes out!" The Doctor said. "I thought I was going to get frazzled!" Jennifer said.

"Yeah. One minute she's standing there, and the next minute roar!" The Doctor said. "Where was that, then? What happened?" Mickey asked. "Oh, it was on this er, this er planet thing. Asteroid. It's a long story, you had to be there. Er, what're you doing that for?" The Doctor asked. "Because you told me to," Mickey said. "When was that?" The Doctor asked. "About half an hour ago," Mickey said. "Er, you can let go now," The Doctor said.

"I told you," Rose said to Mickey as she link arms with Jennifer. "Well, how long's it been since I could've stopped?" Mickey asked. "Ten minutes? Twenty? Twenty nine?" The Doctor said. "You just forgot me!" Mickey said. "No, no, no. I was just, I was, I was calibrating. I was just. No, I know exactly what I'm doing," The Doctor said. Then there was an explosion that came from the console. The TARDIS started shaking. "What's happened?" Jennifer asked. "The time vortex is gone. That's impossible. It's just gone. Brace yourself! We're going to crash!" The Doctor said.

The TARDIS come to a sudden stop, and the power was off. "Everyone all right? JJ? Rose? Mickey?" The Doctor asked. "I'm fine. I'm okay. Sorry. Yeah," Mickey said. "I'm good," Rose said. "Same," Jennifer said. "She's dead. The TARDIS is dead," The Doctor said. "You can fix it?" Jennifer asked. "There's nothing to fix. She's perished. The last TARDIS in the universe. Extinct," The Doctor said.

"Can't we get help?" Jennifer suggested. "Where from?" The Doctor asked. "We've landed. We've got to be somewhere," Jennifer said. "We fell out of the vortex, through the void, into nothingness. We're in some sort of no place. The silent realm. The lost dimension," The Doctor said. "No, actually we're in London," Rose said. She and Mickey, who were both at the doors, stepped outside.

"London, England, Earth. Hold on," Mickey said. He picked up a newspaper. "First of February this year not exactly far flung, is it?" Mickey asked. "So this is London," The Doctor said. "Yep," Mickey said. "Your city," The Doctor said. "That's the one," Mickey said. "Just as we left it," The Doctor said. "Bang on," Mickey said. "And that includes the Zeppelins?" The Doctor asked.

The four of them looked up. Massive airships pass overhead. "What the hell?" Mickey asked. "That's beautiful," Jennifer said. "Is there some kind of festival going on?" Rose asked. "This is not your world," The Doctor said. "But if the date's the same, it's parallel, right? Am I right? Like a parallel Earth where they've got Zeppelins. Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?" Mickey asked. "Must be," The Doctor said.

"So, a parallel world where-" Rose started. "Oh, come on. You've seen it on films. Like an alternative to our world where everything's the same but a little bit different, like, I don't know, traffic lights are blue, Tony Blair never got elected," Mickey said. "And he's still alive," Jennifer said. She was looking at a poster that had her father on it. "Rose, his still alive. A parallel world and our dad's still alive," Jennifer said. She and Rose started walking up to the poster. "Don't look at it, Rose, JJ. Don't even think about it. This is not your world," The Doctor said.

"But he's our dad," Rose said. Jennifer touched the poster, which was actually a screen. "Trust me on this," Pete said. "Well, that's weird. But he's real," Jennifer said. "Trust me on this," Pete repeated. "He's a success. He was always planning these daft little schemes. Health food, drinks and stuff. Everyone said they were useless. But he did it," Rose said with a smile. Jennifer smiled too.

The Doctor put his hands on Jennifer's shoulders. "JJ, if you've ever trusted me, then listen to me now. Stop looking at it. Your father's dead. He died when you were six months old and Rose were two years old. That is not your Pete. That is a Pete. For all we know, he's got his own Jackie, his own Rose and Jennifer. His own two daughters who is someone else, but not you two. You can't see him. Not ever," The Doctor said as he looked between the sisters.
