Allons-y!
Jenny's POV:
After the Doctor and Rose had begun to speak in hushed tones about the island full of dinosaurs, Jenny had decided she was going to explore. The Tardis literally seemed to go on for miles. There were so many twists and turns, there was never a moment when she lost interest.
She came across so many rooms, but none caught her eye more than the rooms full of artifacts her father had collected on his many adventures. There were glowing diamonds in cases that were under strict warning not to be touched. Other things included a werewolf's claw, a vortex manipulator, and magna clamps. There was even a little ball full of screaming witches, but she left that alone. Although there was one thing that caught her attention more than anything else, because she didn't know what it did. A small gray object with a yellow button.
When she picked it up a thin chain dangled from it, obviously so you could wear it around your neck. She had to know what the yellow button was for! With a quick movement she placed it around her neck and pressed it.
Doctor's POV:
Rose and the Doctor had been discussing the apparent Jurassic Park that had appeared when they were interrupted by a loud snap from down the corridor. The Doctor raced over to the console to conduct a scan to make sure Jenny was okay, only to find she was nowhere on the Tardis.
"I swear if another Cyberman has gotten on my ship I'm going to-" The Doctor was interrupted by another loud snap, and Jenny life sign showed up on the monitor. "She's in one of the artifacts rooms."
"Ugh, who knows what she's found in there…we better go get her before she accidentally blows something up." Rose grumbles.
"Hey!" The Doctor's tone was more indignant than he meant for it to be.
"I didn't mean that as an insult!" Rose replied quickly, "I just meant who knows what's in there; it could be flammable or explosive. You or I could set it off!"
"Oh, sorry for snapping at you." The Doctor looked at the floor.
"Don't worry about it, now let's go get Jenny." Rose piped as the pair ran down the corridor.
The Doctor practically ran face first into Jenny as he rounded a corner, "Whoa!" The Doctor grabbed Jenny's arm, and just kept her from falling down a flight of stairs.
He looked up at Rose, only to see her looking at Jenny with a mix of shock and anger. "Please tell me you didn't press that." The Bad Wolf said through gritted teeth.
Jenny was holding something just out of the Doctor's field of vision, but whatever it was had Rose livid. The younger blond looked at Rose, with fear glittering in her gaze. "I…I only pressed it twice…once to see what it did…the second to come back...I'm sorry." Jenny looked on the verge of tears now, but Rose said nothing more, only turned and stormed back down the corridor, leaving the Doctor confused.
"What just happened?" The Doctor turned to his daughter.
"I was just curious…I don't know what I did!" The girl sniffled.
"What was Rose talking about, what did you press?"
"This…" It was all the Doctor could do not to take the yellow button out of Jenny's hand and smash it then and there.
"That…that is a universe jumper…it caused Rose and I a lot of trouble a few years ago. An organization called Torchwood developed them, not knowing what they were really doing. They thought it would be cool to jump between universes, not knowing that in the process they were tearing down the walls of the universe.
We managed to fix the problem and repair the two universes, but Rose was trapped in the other universe for five years, so it doesn't surprise me that even the sight of that button sets her off, not to mention the fact you actually pressed it." The Doctor saw a tear roll down Jenny's cheek. "It's not your fault." He gave her a light hug. "You didn't know. Rose and I will go sort this out, you'll see. Now go put that back where you found it while I go and find Rose."
Jenny nodded and with her head down, walked down the corridor in the opposite direction from that of which Rose had stormed off in. As the young girl went around the corner, the Doctor headed off to find Rose.
She was in the console room, pacing and muttering to herself when he found her. "Rose?"
Rose's POV:
"I know it's not her fault but now we have to go and fix the walls of the universe…again!" Rose snapped after a few minutes of the Doctor trying to calm her down.
"Yes we do, but now she knows not to do it again." The earth girl knew the Doctor was trying hard to help, but his comment only seemed to anger her more, and without thinking she directed her anger at him. "Why did you keep that thing anyway?!"
"I-I-"
Rose never let the Doctor answer her question. "You should never have kept it! You should have destroyed it with the others! But you didn't, and now look where it's lead us!"
"I'm sorry bu-"
Doctor's POV:
"You should never have kept it! You should have destroyed it with the others! But you didn't, and now look where it's lead us!" The Doctor knew Rose didn't mean what she was saying, but the comments still stung.
"I'm sorry bu-"
Her next comment blindsided him, "You never wanted me to come back did you?! If you had you never would have kept that bloody thing! You never wanted me here in the first place! There was probably a way to get me out of that universe the whole time and you never even tried it!"
If the previous comments had stung, these were killing him. None of the things she was saying were true, and he knew she was blinded by anger, because he could see the tears streaming down her face as realization struck her.
"I'm sorry…I…I didn't mean…" Rose stammered as she recounted her previous thoughts.
"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry you feel that way." The Doctor and Rose couldn't continue their conversation as Jenny walked into the console room.
"Sorry Rose, I didn't mean to cause any trouble, and I'll do anything I can to help fix whatever damage I've caused." Jenny was obviously oblivious to the recent argument.
"It's okay, I shouldn't have reacted the way I did, I'm sorry too." The Doctor could tell, even though her eyes were trained on Jenny, she was talking to him.
"Well, is there anything I can do to help fix this?" Jenny asked.
"No, repairing the universe isn't e-"
"That's not what I meant." Jenny cut Rose off. "You two act as if I'm just a child; don't think I didn't hear your argument."
Jenny's POV:
"But- I- We-" The Doctor and Rose stammered.
"This isn't something the two of you should be fighting over!" Jenny protested, not giving the others a chance to speak. "Let's just fix the universe, destroy that button for good, and let things go back to normal.
Jenny turned her back on the two adults, and without looking over her shoulder she spoke. "I'm going to go get the universe jumper…I want all this sorted out by the time I get back."
The young blonde made her way down the hall as she heard them begin talking quietly, thankfully without anger. She walked at a leisurely pace, allowing her father and Rose time to talk.
As Jenny walked she began to think of how little she knew about the 'Bad Wolf,' as she had heard Rose called. Not much was said about her past. Jenny could sense power radiating from her, but it was never brought up. Although one word came to Jenny every time she looked at Rose and that was 'warrior.' Yet when she asked her dad, he had told her Rose had never really fought in a battle, but she had the heart of a warrior. According to the Doctor, she would do anything she could to save someone she cared about and would put herself in harm's way, just to rescue someone she had just met…even if she didn't like them.
By this time she was back in the room where she had left the universe jumper. She grabbed the chain that held the yellow button, and began heading back towards the control room where she had left the two adults.
Jenny walked back into the room, and she could tell by the lack of tension that the two were no longer fighting. "Are we ready to go fix the universe?"
"We will be…after this." The Doctor took the universe jumper from Jenny and threw it against one of the coral designed pillars. In turn the small mechanism shattered.
By the look on Rose's face, Jenny knew they hadn't planned to actually destroy the universe jumper, but Rose seemed happy about the decision. The Doctor pressed a button, and the pieces disappeared.
"Now, let's go fix the universe!" The Doctor turned on his heel and began his turmoil over the switches and buttons that made up the console.
Rose's POV:
"The time energy will seal the tears for us." Rose commented when she saw Jenny's shocked expression at the substantial damage to the walls of the universe.
At that, without even looking at each other the Doctor and Rose commanded the time energy to engulf the tear, and mend it. Within minutes the gold flickered away, and the ugly black scar on the walls of the universe were replaced with its normal starry fabric.
-Later-
"You know…I think I'm going to be on my way." Jenny's words came as a shock to Rose, and it was obvious they had to the Doctor as well.
"You don't have to go!" The Doctor and Rose spluttered at the same time.
"I know, but there is so much out there left for all of us to see…and I think we would all be better off if you didn't have me tagging along, and the stars know we will probably meet up again in our travels." Jenny piped.
"But-"
"No buts," Jenny cut her father off.
"Then at least let me give you something." The Doctor ran off and came back with something in his hands. "Let me wire these into the mainframe of your ship."
"What are they?" Jenny looked on at the Doctor in confusion.
"One was a tracker, so the Tardis can find you if you need our help, the second was a Vortex Manipulator. It will allow your ship to travel in time!"
"Thank you!" Jenny hugged her father.
-Later-
Jenny had just left, and the Doctor and Rose were standing in the console room.
"I am really sorry about what I said earlier, I didn't mean any of it…it just brought back a lot of bad memories…" Rose hung her head, shame flooding to her cheeks.
"I know, and you were right, I shouldn't have kept the universe jumper, I should have destroyed it with the others. I didn't, because I keep some sort of artifact from almost every trip I go on, and that was the only thing I could take from Canary Warf, but now that I have you back, I don't need it anymore." The Doctor pulled her into a hug, and she knew all was forgiven on both sides of the coin.
Sorry for the long wait! Hope you all enjoyed the story!
I hope to be posting more frequently now considering school will be over in about a week!
I'll also probably do a chapter on my birthday (June 15th)
