R&R!

Chapter One: The Call

Rose Tyler sat in her office late at night, surrounded by papers. Once more she was writing a report on the latest mission, name of the species, location, and reason for the mission, hostile/friendly; another cup of coffee in her hand and her chestnut hair hold tight with the pencil.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! Alien species on the loose. Please run for your life.

The automatic voice called from down the hall. Rose stood up just in time to see Mickey and Jake appear in her office making plans for the alien who had just escaped. Who was apparently very angry for being locked in a cell in the basement all day.

"We should build a fort." Mickey suggested.

"I'll bring the pillows." Jake nodded walking out the door to grab said pillows.

Rose was forming a plan in her head. When suddenly what appeared to be a human form fell through the roof landing on the coffee table breaking it. With a yelp, Rose ran to the mass trying to find out what was happening.

"Hello? You ok there mate?"

When she got close enough to see what it was, Rose saw herself with her former blonde hair wrapped in the blue fabric of a torn dress, the moment she put her hand on the copy of herself it gasped and took a deep breath. She looked around breathing erratically and twitching in obvious pain. The copycat hugged herself until she calmed down. Her liquid golden eyes searched around the room finally locking onto Rose's.

"My Cub, I need your help" The strange women said with a broken voice.

"Who are you?" Rose demanded to know.

"You know who I am"

"You are me?" Rose guess confused.

"I am and I am not" she answered trying to stand up only to fall to her knees. With a trembling hand she touched Rose's temple and showed her two things to explain herself, a blue box and the words that haunted her 'Bad Wolf'.

"You are the TARDIS" Rose gasped eyes wide not understanding what was happening and the woman nodded before she screamed in pain, clawing at herself as if that would stop the piercing pain she was suffering from.

"It hurts, it hurts so much" she cried before she moved her hand to hold Rose's "Help me" she begged.

"Rose wake up!"

"Mickey?" Rose awoke looking at the distressed man in front of her.

"Finally! You were having a nightmare"

"Yeah…sorry I scared you"

That was the first time the TARDIS visited her on the wrong side of the void. She saw her during her dreams every night, she always looked like Rose dressed in that torn blue dress, but every time she looked weaker, more broken, more tired, and closer to death.


"I didn't dream about you last night" Rose said worried about the lack of colour in the TARDIS's cheeks.

"You were too far from the rift, I couldn't get to you" She explained.

From that day on Rose slept in her office, and for the first time in two years she slept every night, doing all in her power to have an excuse to be in the building.


"Another Time Lord stole me to build a paradox machine" the TARDIS explained in one of her visits. And once Rose awoke she saw swirling circles scribbled on every paper on the desk; she recognised them as Gallifreyan but couldn't translate them. She wanted so bad to help her beloved time ship.

"I can't speak Gallifreyan, I don't know what to do" she told herself frustrated.

After several more visits over the next couple of days they had a plan. The TARDIS talked about building a dimension canon for her to jump back to her home universe and help, but all the schematic were written in Gallifreyan and it took another five visits from the TARDIS before Rose could understand it enough to actually translate them to English and present them to the tech team in hopes they could build it.

After that the visits from the TARDIS stopped. Rose didn't know but she was too weak to contact her. It took almost six months before they got a working prototype.


"Please Pete, I need to do this" Rose argued hitting the desk with her hand.

"Rose understand me when I say this, I can't let you do this on your own it is too dangerous" he said, speaking not only as her father but also as the CEO of Torchwood.

"It needs to be done, if I don't go there and stop this, this paradox machine, the walls between the universes are going to break, all your hard work would be for nothing, come on Pete!" Rose plead taking his hand "Dad, let me stop that before it happens"

Sighing Pete give up Rose had finally convinced him of sending her out, now she only had to convince Jackie. That would take another two days at least so she started trying as soon as she go out of Pete's office in the mansion.

"Mum I…"

"I heard you talking in there" Jackie scolded her daughter. "I thought….I thought that madness was over, I thought you wouldn't do this anymore, I want my daughter with me!"

"I have to go mum!"

"Why! Why does it have to be you? Why can't the TARDIS find someone else? You could be hurt, you could die, and what if you end up in some other universe? What then?"

"Then I try again" she answered simply, and Jackie saw the defiance in her eyes, Rose was ready to die trying if it was necessary. "I want to do this for you too, to prevent the walls from breaking, to keep you safe"

"We are safe!" Jackie argued.

"The walls are breaking Jacks" Pete calmly explained "We found fluctuations in the rift, similar to the once we had before with the Cybermen".

"Then do something, send somebody else! why does it have to be my daughter!?, We have a life here, we are happy"

"No mum, you have a life here, you are happy" Rose said shaking her head and stormed out.

Jackie tried to follow her but Pete caught her in his arms and holds her while Jackie fought and screamed trying to get away from him and back to her daughter.

"Think about it Jacks in two and a half years, how many times have you seen Rose happy? Truly happy?"

"I-I" Jackie tried to answer but she couldn't. She tried for dear life but the only moment she could think of were the night in which Rose could sit in her little brother's nursery telling him stories of time travel in the magical blue box. Jackie knew she was being selfish, but she just didn't want to lose Rose.

"You are her mother Jackie, you saw how broken she was when we came back from Norway, she needs him"

Jackie nodded and hugged Pete, letting the tears fall freely. She was going to lose her daughter and there was nothing she could do about it.


The next morning Jackie found Rose sitting at the kitchen table with a lost look in her eyes and a cold cuppa tea in her hand, she was so deep in thought she didn't even hear her sit down next to her.

"Promise me, you will come back" Jackie asked taking her hand.

"I want to go there mum, my heart is screaming to go back"

"Then go there, go get that idiot and slap him hard for not being a gentleman and coming looking for you himself." Jackie smile and Rose chuckled.


Before the first test, Rose wrote a set of letters, one to her mother, one for Pete, one for Tony, one for Mickey and one for her team members to be deliver in the case of failure, she stowed them in her drawer. Where someone should find them when they would come to clean out her office.

She traced her fingers over the swirly circles she carved in her table weeks ago during one of those moment she was in a deep trance and didn't care to look for a pencil and paper, it was the only symbol that didn't have a mathematical or scientific meaning and wasn't part of the design of the cannon. So she didn't know what they meant, but she had an idea.

"Bad Wolf" she whispered before she left the place, it was the only explanation, and it had to be that.


"What if you end up in the wrong parallel universe?" one of the scientist, Michel, asked once she took the canon in her hand.

"With a little bit of luck, we are going to make it the first try." She smiled and pressed the button on the circular devise.

But luck wasn't in Rose's favour the first time, nor the second or the third when she landed in the middle of a battle and stood there long enough to feel the piercing pain of the blade cutting her side. As the pain coursed through her she pressed the button on the cannon one more time hoping to get somewhere safe, and luck was on her side this time she made it back to Torchwood. When she arrived, Rose was unconscious and as white as the TARDIS the last time she saw her.
