Hey guys!

So this idea came from an awesome post I saw on tumblr and I decided (with a little inspiration) to write a crossover between two amazing sci-fi TV shows, starring my favourite Doctor Who villains! This is my first Doctor Who fic, and I'm aware that Rose never encountered the Weeping Angels whilst travelling with the Tenth Doctor, but I really wanted her to be the companion in this fanfic and it's my story - so I can do what I like! xD

Anyways, I do not own any of the characters from either Red Dwarf or Doctor Who! I OWN NOTHING but the storyline!

I hope you enjoy, please leave a review. I love hearing what you guys think of my work.

Love,

"Hey Holly, what's goin' on man?"

David Lister strolled into the sleeping quarters he shared with the neurotic hologram Arnold Rimmer, his dreadlocks swinging merrily, hitting his shoulder blades in rhythmic waves. His eyes fell upon the ditzy blonde computer that had flashed up on the monitor, wearing the same bored and disinterested expression she always did.

"Alright Dave? Not much. Being 3 million years into deep space, nothin' exciting happens anymore." She pointed out, raising her eyebrows and giving him a pitiful look.

Dave sighed inwardly, snatching the can of stationary lager from the table and taking a swig; It's bland, warm taste did not affect him, despite having been left unattended for several days. "Yeh righ'. It's smeggin' borin' round here." He collapsed into the chair, feeling utterly useless in the vast universe they had been circling for three years now. It felt like they would never reach earth.

Just then, Cat strolled into the room, looking immaculate; his hair was brushed back into a high bouffant and a long magenta jacket fluttered in his wake as he span round nimbly on his toes. His teeth were bared in a high-pitched growl and a single golden earring in the apt shape of a fish skeleton dangled vigorously from one ear.

"Hey bud! What's the haps?" He chirped, leaping onto the top bunk like an Olympic gymnast. Lister admired the Cat's enthusiasm despite the situation of their dreary surroundings.

"Nothin'. Absolutely smeggin' nothin'!" Lister snapped, his voice gravely from the remnants of his last swig of lager running down his throat.

"Hey! Don't blame me, it's not my fault you're trapped on this hell-hole with Captain Smegski!" The Cat retorted. Lister knew he meant Rimmer.

"Sorry mate…I'm just bored. Nothin' happens round here anymore." Dave sighed, his anger fading in an instant to be replaced only by despair.

The Cat opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by Holly's dulcet tones.

"Hey guys, I've just received a video message, if you wanna take a look." She informed them, unfazed by the sudden newsflash.

Lister jumped out of his chair eagerly, his eyes glittering with an excitement that had not existed a few seconds ago. "Yeah! One minute - KRYTEN, RIMMER! GET IN HERE!" He yelled impatiently, knowing the rest of their miniscule crew were not far away. Moments later, Lister was proven correct when a flash of emerald caught his eye.

Arnold Rimmer (the ship's resident Hologram) dressed in a metallic tunic of deep green entered the room, breathless, followed by a rather flustered-looking Android.

"What the smeg is going on?" Rimmer cried, his eyes wide with panic.

But before Lister could answer, two people had appeared on the monitor before them, bearing wide grins that, little did the Dwarfers know, were concealing a grave truth that would plunge them all into mortal danger.

"Who the smeg are they?" Rimmer exclaimed wildly, shocked by the sight of other human beings.; he was pleased to notice that one of them was a woman.

The man was relatively young, though his intelligent eyes told otherwise. He wore a pinstriped suit of deep brown to match the rich colour of his untidy hair. A pair of rectangular glasses framed his youthful features, which were wreathed by a warm, welcoming grin.

The woman by his side was younger still; her ash-blonde hair hung just past her shoulders and her soft brown eyes glimmered with a mixture of admiration for the man beside her and a slight hint of fear that the Dwarfers could not yet explain.

"Hello!" Said the man. Rimmer detested his chirpy enthusiasm immediately, wrinkling his nose so that the bridge was creased toward his furrowed brow. "My name's the Doctor!"

Lister and the Cat exchanged a look of confusion.

"And I'm Rose!" The girl said. Lister recognised the slight inflection of a London accent in the way she talked and smiled.

"We noticed your ship and thought we might pop in, if that's alright with you." The man named the Doctor chuckled and his grin widened.

"Don't be alarmed. We ain't aliens or anything." Rose reassured them, casting a glance at the Doctor smugly.

"Well…" The Doctor cocked his head to one side, dragging out the word with an indecisive shrug to accompany it. The Dwarfers were rendered speechless; the Doctor continued:

"We've been chasing something through a vortex and it turns out they're headed straight for your ship." He explained, talking so fast that the crew of Red Dwarf could barely understand what he was saying. "Be very careful. Keep your eyes pealed, they could already be with you, and most importantly;" His tone was suddenly grave. "don't blink. We'll be with you in a moment."

The girl named Rose gave a tiny wave before the screen went dead.

"Smeggin' hell." Lister breathed, his inability to form words rendering him speechless once more.

"What the smeg was he talking about?" Rimmer said to no one in particular. "He seemed like a complete and utter lunatic! God forbid we let that gimboid aboard this ship; he'd reek havoc!"

"What d'yeh think he meant by 'don't blink'?" Lister asked, ignoring Rimmer's comment completely.

"Oh who gives a smeg? Holly, lock the cargo bay doors, will you?" Rimmer ordered, turning to face the ship's computer, who had resumed her usual pass time of gazing into space.

"Too late - they're here!" Holly announced, her eyes wide.

"Oh great…Doctor Gimboid's arrived then. Well, he certainly won't be getting a-" Rimmer began, a vexed expression on his face; but before he could continue, Lister cut across him.

"Oh shut up, Rimmer!" Lister snapped, swaggering over to the door without another word.

Shocked, Rimmer fiddled awkwardly with the hem of his tunic before following after Cat and Kryten, blushing ever-so-slightly.

The quartet arrived in the cargo-bay, delighted and puzzled by the sight of the midnight-blue telephone box standing in the centre of the room. They cast perplexed glances towards each other, wondering (simultaneously) how on earth the couple could fit within the strange vessel. The creak of an opening door interrupted their thoughts.

"HELLO!" Cried the Doctor, bounding out of the ship known as the TARDIS. Rose followed shortly after, wearing a shyer smile than the one she had worn during the video message, not taking her chestnut eyes off the man before her.

Rimmer rolled his eyes exasperatedly, whilst Lister retaliated by holding out a hand for the Doctor to shake. The enigma did so.

"I'm Lister. This is Rimmer, Cat and Kryten." Lister introduced the crew. The Dwarfers nodded in turn.

The Doctor beamed. "Well, I guess we've got a lot of explaining to do!" He said, his glasses flashing in the ship's florescent lighting.

"You certainly have, Doctor." Rimmer snarled, speaking the man's name as if it were poison in his mouth.

The Doctor seemed oblivious to the hologram's icy tone, but Rimmer's eyes fluttered to Rose, who's lips were pursed in a frown.

"You're in danger - a lot of danger. Sorry about that!" The Doctor said, a trace of sympathy and guilt passing over his features for a second before it had disappeared in a flash. He was far too intent on his own explanation. "Ever heard of the Weeping Angels?"

The Dwarfers shook their heads in bemused unison.

"Well,they're very VERY dangerous creatures. They're as old as time itself and feed on energy. They've been hunting the TARDIS - that's my ship -" He jabbed a thumb sharply over his shoulder at the tall wooden box looming behind him, "For a long time. They've been trying to feed off it's power."

Lister opened his mouth to contradict, but was stopped in his tracks by Rose, who took a brave step forward.

"I know it may not look like much," She smiled, "But, it really is. I assure you."

Lister nodded and fell back with a shrug.

"Anyway," The Doctor resumed his speech, eager to continue. "Suddenly, the Angels switched courses and went after you instead. We thought it was appropriate to warn you." He said. Rose was gnawing on her lip.

"These creatures - they aren't in my database." Kryten said, annoyed t not having know this information already.

"They're ancient and known throughout the universe as a mere legend." The Doctor said, his lively tone drained from his voice now. All that remained was a darkness that made him slightly intimidating.

"This is ridiculous!" Rimmer cried, making everyone turn and gloat at his sudden outburst. "Weeping Angels?" He scoffed. "He's an utter fruitcake! He's cracked! And so's she," He jabbed an accusing finger at Rose. She folded her arms defensively, glaring at him. "I've never heard anything so ludicrous!"

"Look, we're not trying to scare you. We're not trying to fool you either. We're trying to warn you." The Doctor said softly, imploring the Hologram to see reason.

"Look, you can fool them," He cocked a head of mahogany curls towards Lister, Kryten and Cat, causing the metallic 'H' on his forehead to glint madly in the light, "But you're going to have to get up pretty darn early in the A.M. to fool Arnie. J!"

With that, he stormed from the room, not realizing the danger he was now exposed to.

They had arrived. Lightning-quick and lethal to their prey...

The Angels had boarded Red Dwarf.

So that's the end of Chapter one! Chapter two will be coming very shortly!

Please review!
