Author's Note: Hey guys! I'm back! Had the busiest nine days ever but it's all over now which means I have time to write the sequel to Roxie :D I hope you guys all like it because I had fun planning it.
Just for the record, this is based on the back story of The Smiler which is a new ride at Alton Towers that opened earlier this year. I have not been on it because I am an absolute wuss but I have been to Alton Towers since The Smiler opened XD
Anyone who has come across this story and hasn't read Roxie, I would highly recommend that you go back and read it. Mainly because you will then understand any references to it in this story and the relationships between the Doctor, Clara and Roxie.

Summary:
Six months after Roxie was rescued by the Doctor and Clara, it's her birthday! Roxie decides to go to Alton Towers a few weeks after the new ride (The Smiler) has opened. What will happen when the trio decide it's a good idea to go on it? Expect 11/Roxie and 11/Clara. Rated M just to be on the safe side.
"Where do you want to go? What do you want to see?" The Doctor ran around the console like a madman (as usual) and asked Roxie as it was her birthday today. Clara smiled in remembrance as she remembered the time she was asked the exact same question. The two girls were stood around the console.
"Somewhere on Earth. It means so much to you and I want to see it." Roxie knew how much the Earth meant to her dad and so she wanted to go and have a look for herself, "How about a theme park or something? Never been to one of those."
"How about Alton Towers? A friend told me that there's something for everyone there." Clara suggested, looking at both the Doctor and his daughter who was smiling.
The Doctor smiled before continuing to run around the console pulling levers and pressing buttons and eventually landing. He turned around to give us a beaming smile. Clara was wearing her usual outfit. A red dress that flowed out at the bottom with plain dark brown shoes that had a wedge inside to make her a little taller. She had her chestnut brown hair resting on her shoulders. My raven black hair was longer than Clara's and went down to the middle of my back. I had a dark brown t-shirt with blue jeggings and blue converse high top trainers.
We walked out to find ourselves at the entrance to find that there was a map on a board. We looked around to see what way we would go. That's when something caught Roxie's attention. In the bottom right corner, there was a logo for a ride that was called The Smiler and the words, 'NEW FOR 2013' written in white inside a black and yellow spiral. Clara went to grab a map that we could carry round with us. The new ride also caught Clara's attention and she started reading something on the back of the map, "The Smiler, the new world first 14 loop roller coaster at Alton Towers Resort. The Smiler will marmalise your body and mind. Combining intense physical effects from 14 loops with 5 mind manipulations: The Inoculator, The Tickler, The Flasher, The Giggler and The Hypnotiser. It will turn you into a smiling advocate. You belong to The Smiler. In association with the Ministry of Joy."
"That sounds awesome! Where is it?" Roxie said rather excitedly. The Doctor looked apprehensive and went quiet whilst Clara was trying to turn the map back over to find the location of the new ride.
"In X-Sector. Come on!" The girls looked excited and started running towards the area whilst the Doctor was just behind them.
When they arrived at the entrance to the area they found that no one was in that area and yet they could see that the queues were open for each ride in that area. There were people hanging around outside of X-Sector but no one (apart from Alton Towers staff) were in the area.
Regardless, the trio entered the zone and went towards the ride. The Doctor lagged a little, purposely, and the girls noticed.
"What's up dad?"
The Doctor shrugged his shoulders before admitting, "Don't like it. It looks creepy."
"Oh come on. It won't be as bad as it looks. I'm sure you've been through worse." Roxie teased trying to convince her dad it really wasn't what it looks.
"Fine." The Doctor sighed and caught them up.
They then entered the area that was the queue. As they got closer to the ride, the gap between the walls trapping them became more narrow and they had to walk in file. Roxie notices the logo for the ride has been sprayed in several places on the walls. They also notice some messages (written in a bright yellow) on the black wall,
'Y0U B3L0NG T0 TH3 SM1L3R'
'JOIN US'
'SMILE NOW SMILE ALWAYS SMILE FOREVER'
"What do you reckon it is?" Roxie stopped in her tracks and asked after having read the messages.
"Probably just the themeing." Clara shrugged it off as it not being anything unusual. Roxie agreed and the girls continued to go to the ride whilst the Doctor stayed for a minute. This didn't seem like some themeing to him but thought to himself, 'You're over thinking it! Stop it!'. He then started moving to catch up with the girls again.
Before they all knew it, they were in the station. The walls were a crystal white, the bars and railings were all a bright yellow, and even the floor was white. They were two ride operators there and they were wearing ridiculous outfits. Again, Roxie and Clara assumed it was all part of the ride and the themeing. The outfits consisted of yellow pants, white and black striped socks and gloves, black boots with yellow laces, a yellow shirt with black jacket over. Finally they are wearing black baseball caps with yellow glasses.
The trains carry 16 people - four rows of four. The three sit in the front row and brace themselves for the ride. They all notice that when the ride operators turn around it says, 'GET CORRECTED' on their jackets.
A bright light stuns the three as the ride begins already disorientating them.
The next few minutes were a crazy mayhem of twists, turns and inversions.
I know this chapter is considerably shorter to what I did on Roxie but I will be aiming for around a thousand words a chapter (same lengths as last story and that excludes AN) but it all depends really.
