"You've got to be kidding," Pete said sarcastically.

"Rita, Rose, get up." They followed his orders and began to climb, Rita first followed by Rose just behind her. The Doctor then Pete started to climb and the zeppelin then took off.

"We did it! We did it!" Rose shouted happily.

"Not yet" Rita looked down. "Doctor!" She shouted looking down to see Cyber Lumic starting to climb the ladder. The Doctor dived into his jacket pulling out the sonic screwdriver. " "Pete! Take this!" He shouted giving the man his screwdriver. "Use it! Hold the button down! Press it against the rope. Just do it!"

Pete placed the screwdriver just below his feet and pressed the button. "Jackie Tyler. This is for her!" He shouted as the rope snapped, Cyber Lumic cried out falling to his certain death. The power station then completely lit up in flames lighting the sky and Lumic continued to fall then was completely engulfed in the flames.

"Now we did it" Rita deeply breathed out. Rose shouted out at the top of her lungs "woo hoo!" The Doctor and Rita laughed.

"Time to go home" he smiled.

"Time to go home" Rita nodded in agreement as the zeppelin continued to fly and the three with Pete Tyler bellow them continued to climb up.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Rita stood leaning against the TARDIS, the day after the long night with the Cybermen, she sighed looking up at the sky smiling a little.

"So, what happens inside that thing, then?" Pete asked Rose nodding over to the TARDIS, Rose looked back at it then asked: "Do you want to see?

"No, I don't think so. But you three." He nodded over to Rita and the TARDIS again meaning Rose, Rita and the Doctor. "You know, all that stuff you said about different worlds. Who are you?" He asked.

"It's like you say. Imagine there are different worlds, parallel worlds. Worlds with another Pete Tyler and Jackie Tyler's still alive, and their daughter." She told him.

"I've got to go," Pete told her not wanting to hear it anymore.

"But if you just look inside." Rose tried to convince him to stay.

Pete shook his head. "No, I can't. There are all those Lumic factories out there. All those Cybermen still in storage. Someone's got to tell the authorities what happened, carry on the fight"

The Doctor stepped outside the TARDIS, Rita moved out the way still in the uniform from last night.

"Rose? I've only got five minutes of power. We've got to go." He told her.

Rose turned from the Doctor and looked at Pete not backing down. "The Doctor could show you."

"Thank you. For everything."

Rose didn't know what to say, she hadn't said it forever and now she finally got the chance. "Dad."

Pete shook his hand again. "Don't. Just, just don't." He then turned and left.

"Here it is. I found it. Not a crease." Mickey walked towards the TARDIS handing the Doctor his suit. "Sorry Rita your jacket or shoes weren't there" she groaned out in annoyance.

"My suit!" The Doctor beamed. "Good man." He patted the man's back then noticed the look on the brunette's face. "Sorry Rita the TARDIS will have some more shoes for you, now then, Jake, we've got to run. But one more thing. Mrs Moore. Her real name was Angela Price. She's got a husband out there, and children. Find them. Tell them how she died saving the world." He looked at Jake slowly explaining to him he nodded in response.
