Written for a prompt from Timepetalsprompts from back at the beginning of February: a lost message.

A drabble and a quarter of… weeell… Sorry… so sorry…

Forgotten

Wotchah, Doctah! Rose's cheerful voice resounded through the console room, a mobile message from the past, forgotten in the aftermath of battle. I'm waitin' for ya! Outside the ice-cream shop like we planned. Got the b-ba-bazoo… Mum's gift! She's gonna love it!

Where are ya, anyway? Been waitin' a while. Ya better jus' be lost in that spare parts shop and not off gallivantin' in the TARDIS… on your own!

Oh! Never mind! There you are! I see ya!

Over here, Doctah! her voice cried out, loud and cheerful.

Then she laughed: the most beautiful sound in the multiverse. Guess I could hang up now, yeah? See ya in a mo'!

The message ended, leaving the Doctor alone to endure the crushing silence that followed.
