The Doctor

This, this was far too normal to be the beginning of the end. No blood and fish raining from the sky, no freak weather, no nothing. How did that work? "It's fine. Everything's fine. Nothing's wrong, all fine." Oo, there was a milkman I could ask. "Excuse me. What day is it?"

"Saturday."

"Saturday. Good. Good, I like Saturdays."

Donna was a little confused, my sister stood stern and stoic. If she had any clue what properly happened to her, then she knew Rose's return was nothing good for the universe, even though I desperately wanted to see her, one last time. "So, I just met Rose Tyler?" I agreed. "But she's locked away in a parallel world."

Elizabeth nodded, short hair streaked with blood red this time. "Exactly. If she can cross from her parallel world to your parallel world, which somehow managed to pull me into it, than that means the walls of the universe are breaking down, which puts everything in danger. Everything. But how? I should have heard something by now."

And went back into the TARDIS doing things on the console that I had no idea about. Primary pilot got special tricks. "The thing is, Doctor, no matter what's happening, and I'm sure it's bad, I get that but, Rose is coming back. Isn't that good?"

My Rose... "Yeah."

"It's bloody not a good thing if she destroys the universe on the journey!" The TARDIS suddenly shook with a bang. "What the hell was that? It wasn't us, it was outside." And went to look herself, without actually moving. "Jesus Christ on a Bike. Doctor, we may have problem."

Meaning I ran to the doors myself, opening them to just see a few rocks floating by in open space. And Donna saw too. "But we're in space. How did that happen? What did you do?"

"We didn't fucking m... move!" Liz stammered, very much annoyed. "T, t, the Ea, Earth ddddid. Gone!" 

"But if the Earth's been moved, they've lost the Sun. What about my Mum? And Granddad? They're dead, aren't they? Are they dead?"

If the person knew what they were doing, and they wanted the people alive, then hopefully not. But I honestly had no idea in the long run. "I don't know, Donna. I just don't know. I'm sorry, I don't know."

She was just in shock. "That's my family. My whole world."

My sister slammed her hands into the console, still stuttering worse than ever. "There's no readings. Nothing. Not a trace. Not even a whisper. I can't even follow the thoughts, because there's no link. Oh, I hope you've paid your speeding tickets brother." Oh, don't you dare, little sister. "Shiny, we're going to the Shadow Proclamation. Lets hope they don't want to try me for my husbands crimes."

And started us off before I could stop her. "Elizabeth, if I get arrested, you'd better break me the hell out!"

She laughed at that, before we landed in a corridor in the complex, her leading the way out. And got greeted by an armed platoon, Donna and I holding our hands up, but she just looked at them. "Sco bo tro no flo jo ko fo to to."

"No bo ho sho ko ro to so." She replied, her hand lifting up to show something I didn't get. When she was focused, knew what to do, there was no stutter. It was her fear of losing control again, being a puppet. "Bokodozogobofopojo." They all came to attention. "Moho."

Before we both got lectured by the Architect, who was pacing back and forth in a her stupid black gown. In all honesty, she creeped me out. "Time Lords are the stuff of legend. They belong in the myths and whispers of the Higher Species. You cannot possibly exist. Especially not the Remembrance, the Matrix control point, a living computer."
