"There you are. You, all right? No applause. I fixed it. Twenty-four hours, then we're flying back to reality" the Doctor says as the three walk up to Rose who was sitting on a bench.

"What is it?" {Y/N} asks.

"My phone connected. There's this Cybus Network. It finds your phone. It gave me Internet access" Rose says.

"Rose, whatever it says, this is the wrong world" the Doctor says.

"I don't exist."

"What do you mean?" {Y/N} asks.

"There's no Rose Tyler. I was never born. There's Pete, my dad, and Jackie. He still married mum but they never had kids."

"Give me that phone" Rose hands the Doctor her phone.

"They're rich. They've got a house and cars, and everything they want. But they haven't got me. I've got to see him."

"You can't."

"I just want to see him."

"We can't let you" the Doctor says.

"You just said twenty-four hours!"

"You can't become their daughter, that's not the way it works. Mickey, tell her."

"Twenty-four hours, yeah?" Mickey says, walking away.

"Where're you going?" {Y/N} asks.

"Well, I can do what I want."

"I've got the address and everything" Rose says starting to walk away.

"Stay where you are, both of you. Rose, come back here! Mickey, come back here right now!" the Doctor shouts.

"I just want to see him" Rose says.

"Yeah, I've got things to see and all" Mickey adds.

"Like what?" the Doctor asks.

"Well, you two don't know anything about me, do you? It's always about Rose. I'm just a spare part" Mickey spits.

"I'm sorry. I've got to go" Rose says running off.

"Go on, then. There's no choice, is there? You two can only chase after one of us. It's never going to be me, is it?" the Doctor grabs {Y/N}'s hand and turns to Mickey.

"Back here, twenty-four hours!" the Doctor and {Y/N} run off after Rose.

*Time skip*

"Mickey's mum just couldn't cope. His dad hung around for a while, but then he just sort of wandered off. He was brought up by his gran. She was such a great woman. God, she used to slap him! And then she died. She tripped and fell down the stairs. It's about five years ago now. I was still in school" Rose says as the Doctor and {Y/N} run up to her.

"We never knew" the Doctor says.

"Well, you never asked."

"You never said" {Y/N} replies.

"That's Mickey. I suppose I, we just take him for granted. Do you think she's still alive, his gran?"

"Could be. Like I said, parallel world, gingerbread house. We need to get out of here as fast as we can" the Doctor says, suddenly there is a beeping sound and everyone stops moving.

"What're they all doing?" Rose asks.

"They've stopped" {Y/N} says noticing everyone's ear pods were flashing "it's the earpieces. Like Bluetooth attachments, but everyone's connected together."

"It's on my phone. It's automatic, look. It's downloading. Is this what they're all getting? News, international news, sports, weather" Rose says.

"They get it direct. Downloaded right into their heads" the Doctor says.

"TV schedules, lottery numbers."

"Everyone shares the same information. A daily download published by Cybus Industries" {Y/N} says, suddenly everyone starts laughing and continue with whatever they were doing before.

"You lot, you're obsessed. You'd do anything for the latest upgrade" the Doctor says.

"Oi, not my lot. Different world, remember" Rose says.

"It's not so far off your world. This place is only parallel. Oh, look at that. Cybus Industries, owners of just about every company in Britain, including Vitex. Mister Pete Tyler's very well connected. Oh, okay. I give up. Let's go and see him" {Y/N} says as the three walk towards the Tyler house hold, they make it to the front and a limo drives past them.

"They've got visitors" the Doctor says.

"February the first. Mum's birthday. Even in a parallel universe, she still loves a party" Rose says.

"Well, given Pete Tyler's guest list, I wouldn't mind a look. And there is one guaranteed way of getting inside" the Doctor says.

"Psychic paper" Rose replies.

"Who do you want to be?" {Y/N} asks smiling.

*Time skip*

Rose, {Y/N} and the Doctor carry trays of nibbles and champagne for the guests scattered through the ground floor.

"We could have been anyone" Rose says walking beside the Doctor and {Y/N}.

"Got us in, didn't it?" the Doctor replies with a smile.

"You're in charge of the psychic paper. We could've been guests. Celebrities. Sir Doctor, Dame Rose, Madame {Y/N}. We end up serving. Did enough of this back home" Rose says.

"If you want to know what's going on, work in the kitchens. According to Lucy, that man over there" {Y/N} says.

"Who's Lucy?"

"She's carrying the salmon pinwheels" the Doctor replies.

"Oh, that's Lucy, is it?" Rose asks.

"Yeah. Lucy says, that is the President of Great Britain."

"What, there's a President, not a Prime Minister?"

"Seems so."

"Or maybe Lucy's just a bit thick."

"Excuse me! Thank you very much. Thank you if I could just have your attention, please?" Pete says from the staircase, everyone turns to him.

"Pete! Go on, Pete!"

"Thank you very much!"

"It's about time you did some work."

"I thought you liked them young."

"Um, I'd just like to say thank you to you all, for coming on this, this very special occasion. My wife's thirty ninth" Pete says scratching the back of his neck.

"Don't believe that one."

"Trust me on this. And so, without any further ado, here she is, the birthday girl. My lovely wife, Jackie Tyler" Jackie makes her entrance standing beside Pete.

"Now, I'm not giving a speech. That's what my parties are famous for. No work, no politics, just a few good mates and plenty of black market whisky. Pardon me, Mister President. So, yeah, get on with it. Enjoy, enjoy."

"You can't stay. Even if there was some way of telling them" the Doctor says.

"Course I can't. I've still got Mum at home. My real mum. I couldn't just leave her, could I. It's just, they've got each other. Mum's got no one" Rose says.

"She's got you. Those two haven't. All these different worlds, not one of them gets it right" {Y/N} says.

"Rose! There's my little girl! Come to mummy, come to mummy!" Jackie leans down picking up a dog "yes, good girl! Good girl, aren't you?" the Doctor and {Y/N} snort instantly covering their mouths when Rose looks at them.

"Sorry" {Y/N} says continuing to snicker.
