Rose's POV

I was still trapped between a wall and a Dalek, only now there was more of them in the room. I was also now sat on the floor, my legs tightly pulled against to my chest, as I watched what was going on, scared.

"Alert! Alert!," one of the Daleks said, coming into the large room. "We are detected!"

"It is the Doctor," the one trapping me said, turning around to face the first Dalek.

'Thank God,' I thought.

"He has located us," the Dalek continued. "Open communications channel."

"The female will stand," the first Dalek ordered me. "Stand!"

Savannah's POV

The Doctor and I let go of each other but still held hands, just before the image on the holo-screen changed to show Daleks flanking Rose, causing me to glare darkly up at them and squeeze the Doctor's hand, which he returned. I noticed that Rose looked terrified. However, when she noticed me standing next to the Doctor, I noticed that she looked slightly confused too.

"I will talk to the Doctor," one of the Daleks demanded.

"Oh, will you now?," the Doctor asked sarcastically, causing me to smile slightly, but I quickly hid it from the Daleks with my spare hand. "That's nice. Hello!" He smiled and waved with his free hand, before his face turned back to his more serious expression.

"The Dalek stratagem nears completion," the Dalek said. "The fleet is almost ready. You will not intervene."

'Yeah, sure. He's not going to intervene,' I thought sarcastically as I scoffed quietly and rolled my eyes, turning my head slightly away from the Daleks.
The Doctor must have heard me scoff because he squeezed my hand tightly in reassurance.

"Oh, really?," he asked the Daleks. "Why's that, then?"

"We have your associate. You will obey or she will be exterminated."

"No," the Doctor and I said in unison, squeezing each other's hands tightly, as I looked at Rose's terrified, yet surprised expression.

I also noticed in the corner of my eye that Jack, Lynda and the 2 workers looked at us in surprise, not expecting our answer, especially from the both of us.

"Explain yourselves. Who is the female next to you?"

"We said no," the Doctor and I said, ignoring their question about me for the time being.

"What is the meaning of this negative?"

"It means no," we said.

"But she will be destroyed," it said, not understanding our answer.

"No!," the Doctor and I repeated firmly.

"'Cuz this is what I'm gonna do. We're gonna rescue her." The Doctor and I squeezed each other's hands again as we looked up at the screen, myself looking right at Rose and smiling reassuringly at her. She soon smiled too. "We're gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek fleet. And then, I'm gonna save Earth, and then, just to finish off, I'm going to wipe every last stinking Dalek out of the sky!"
