Chapter 1

Christmas, a time for job and celebration, it was always meant to be a happy time but for Jess she never really felt it, moving from home to home and having no family meant she never really felt she belonged anywhere.

Of course that all changed when she met the Doctor, he took her from a dull dreary life to one filled with excitement and adventure ( like Daleks in Romania or Cybermen in deep space). Sensing something wasn't quite right with his young friend the Doctor asked " Jess are you alright?,something getting you down. "

"No, well not really she replied it's just that this time of year, Christmas it's always hard for me".

Realising the problem the Doctor stopped what he was doing " Well I think I can fix that. " and just like that Jess had to hold on tight as the Tardis stormed it's way though the time vortex to a as yet unknown (to her anyway) destination.

"Doctor, where are we heading?" But just as she asked the Tardis landed, " Here we are, Come on Jess I've a surprise for you. " and with that he rushed to the door with Jess not far behind. She was intrigued to know where they had gone.

"Welcome to the planet Yuletide C, the premier destination for people and aliens wanting to celebrate Christmas, it'll be perfect for you." Jess was confused " in what way perfect, and why for me? " " Since you've never really had a proper Christmas, What better way then to spend a relaxing three day's break right here. "

This all sounded like the Doctor was just going to leave her here, while he no doubt planned to do other things. Sensing some disappointment the Doctor quickly said " I'm not leaving you here I've just got a few private things to deal with, I promise i absolutely will be back in three days, besides everyone should have at least one excellent Xmas and you Absolutely deserve it. "

After giving it some thought and certainly wanting to avoid heading the word absolutely for a while Jess agreed " Yeah sure it'll be fun and you will come back for me. " "Absolutely i will, Now you'll need this and Happy Christmas."

After handing Jess the psychic paper the Doctor made his way back to the Tardis and departed, Jess made her way to the main hotel on the planet to check in. Time to see if this planet lives up to it's reputation she thought.

Little did anyone realise but soon Yuletide C would be overrun with a monster, one of the Doctor's old foes who would stop at nothing to make everyone on the planet his own personal playthings.
