A/N This one is much better than the last one. I would really enjoy feedback. At the end, there is a bit of violence, but it is just part of the aliens shown. Enjoy!

Dear Miracle,

The nebula was fantastic! It was arranged in an array of colors. There were blues, greens, oranges, even ripe red. The Doctor seemed to relax a bit. The stars calm him. I haven't worked on my poetry skills like I thought I would. Too much and yet not enough is going on to sit in a library and read. I'm a time traveler. I can't sit for too long.

The Doctor's back to acting weird again. The monitor makes weird sounds at times. He rubs the controls, like he's trying to calm her. She hums when he does this.

It's quiet again, but I think we may actually be going somewhere today. I say today, but I really just mean, in the measurement of my mind, in the next few hours.

I'm going to go crazy with the quiet. The Doctor can barely stand it, I can tell. He's fidgeting. I don't know why we don't just go somewhere.

The Doctor's jumped up. He's looking at the monitor with big eyes. He looks over at me.

I'd better go. Something is wrong.

Yours,

Rose Tyler

Rose set down her leather bound journal and stood up. She calmly walked up to the Doctor, who looked like he was going to pull his hair out.

"What is it this time, Doctor?" she asked, a bit exasperated.

"I'm getting signals from a spot in the Time Vortex. Something's not right. It's like time's been reversed or completely stopped."

"What planet?" Rose asked, dreading the answer, but already knowing his response before the question ever left her lips.

"Earth," he said, sensing her uneasiness. "It's weird, though. The rest of the universe seems unaffected by it. It seems to be in a time lock or something similar."

"Similar? Like what?" she asked, looking at the Doctor sternly.

"Like a UVRM," he replied.

"A what? Rose asked, raising an eyebrow.

"A UVRM. A Universal Vortex Reverser Manipulator."

Rose looked at him like he'd grown two heads (something she wouldn't be surprised if he did). She'd heard and seen some of the craziest things imaginable but this was a little too much. "Was someone late to tea today?" she asked sarcastically, and eyebrow still raised.

"I'm serious," he said, seeing her sarcastic expression. "There is such a thing as a UVRM. They're Time Lord technology. They were banned back during the Last Great Time War." He paused. "Something escaped the time lock set around the Time War. But nothing can escape, nothing!"

"Um, Doctor?" Rose interrupted.

"Yeah?" the Doctor said, absentmindedly.

"The Daleks escaped several times."

The Doctor looked up at her like he'd never seen her before in his life. "Rose, you're a genius!"

Rose almost smacked him. "Don't ever say that again!" she almost screamed.

The Doctor looked at her, stunned. "Why not? You are."

"The last time you said that, you trapped me inside the TARDIS and sent me home. In a way, I felt like, well, like you betrayed me." She sighed. "Those words just bring back bad memories, that's all. I don't like to remember, that feeling of helplessness."

The Doctor nodded. "Well, that's been put behind us." He gave her a smile. "Now we're going to battle UVRM!" He laughed, smacking a few buttons, pulling a few levers, ad hanging on as the blue cylinder began to pump up and down.

They laughed as they were flung through the Time Vortex. The TARDIS hummed as it sped towards earth. Then the TARDIS stopped.

"Ah, here we are," he said in his usual voice. "Let's go find ourselves a UVRM!"

Rose laughed and ran to the TARDIS doors. She through them open only to scream and close them as if a Dalek was trying to get in. "Doctor!" she whispered, her voice high pitched. The Doctor looked up. "Doctor, we're falling."

The Doctor rushed to the doors and threw them open. Air rushed by. The force field was barely active. He closed them and sprinted back to the console.

"The UVRM is messing with the TARDIS!" he cried. "I can't stop her! Rose, hold on to something! We're gonna crash!" Rose looked up at him, fear etched in her eyes. She'd never been in a car wreck before never crashed once. Now she was falling form the sky with an alien in a big, blue box. Her life was definitely not normal.

Rose grabbed ahold of the coral along the TARDIS controls. Right before they crashed, she gave the Doctor a faint smile and prepared for impact.

Rose woke to the sound of sirens, but they weren't ambulance sirens. They were police and fire truck sirens. She glanced over to where the Doctor was propped up. He stared a the TARDIS doors, a trickle of blood coming from his nose.

He glanced over at her. A small smile flickered across his grim face. He looked back to the door. "Guess we'd better go meet them. They'll have all of London out there. Oh, and the TARDIS won't be functional for a long time." He sighed. "We're stuck here for a while. At least until the TARDIS reappears herself." He sighed again.

"How will they react? I mean, to us falling from the sky and all?"

He gave her a sad look. "Never know. Like I said before, though, all of London's gonna be out there." He slowly got up and walked to the doors. Rose jumped up and grabbed his hand, causing a wave of nausea to wash over her from the sudden movement.

"Doctor, we don't have to go out. We can just wait them out in here. They can't get through those doors."

The Doctor sighed. "The power's down. Those doors are just doors now. They can get through if they want to and you know they do and they will. Now, we might as well get this over with, so outside we go!"

He pushed Rose towards the door gently. "We can't delay much longer." He grabbed ahold of the doors and turned his had to Rose. "Ready?"

She nodded her head. "I've fought aliens and traveled through space and time with the biggest of 'em all. I think I can handle a few of my own kin."

The Doctor chuckled and slowly opened the doors as not to surprise any of the startled humans above. A command to 'hold you fire' rang out from above the lip of the crater the TARDIS had made. Smoke clogged the air and Rose began to cough as she followed the Doctor out.

A stray bullet hit the side of the crater and rang out, making Rose jump. "I said hold your fire!" a voice called out throughthe haze.

The Doctor put his hands to his lips anc called up. "Hello! Sorry about that! Something's wrong with my controls. You haven't happened to have seen a UVRM by any chance, have you?"

A startled silence reigned above them. Then a voice, the same one from earlier, cried down, "Do you come in peace?"

The Doctor laughed. "Well, of course I do. Why wouldn't I be? Is something wrong?"

A few pebbles sprinkled down on them from above. A cough echoed around above them. Then a figure appeared in the haze. He was dangling from a rope tied around his middle.

He finally reached the bottom, looking around him in awe at the large crevice. He finally spotted the pair and his eyes opened in shock. He'd been expecting little green Martians or teenage kids. He startled to see the two adolescents.

"Um…" he began.

"Hi," the Doctor interrupted, suddenly stepping forward and offering his hand.

The man jumped to attention with his gun trained on the two strangers. Just because they appeared human didn't mean he was taking any chances. At the same time he swung his gun up, the strange man jumped back, eyeing the weapon wearily.

The Doctor turned to Rose. "Was it something I said?" he asked innocently.

Rose shook her head and laughed. "Doctor, we just crashed a big, blue box in the middle of London. Anyone would be jumpy."

The Doctor nodded. "I see." He turned back to the man who had entered the crater. "Sorry. My name's the Doctor. Oh, and this is Rose, my companion. We're having trouble, as I said before. My ship isn't working. Something seems to be messing with the controls." He tried a friendly smile.

The man hesitated, glancing over at the TARDIS. A ship? It looked more like a police box to him. He edged over to it. This Doctor seemed to believe that it was something more.

The Doctor watched in amusement as the young man cautiously checked out the TARDIS. He seemed unsure of himself.

The Doctor walked over and opened the TARDIS doors. The man stared in awe at the interior of the TARDIS. The Doctor's smile widened. "This is my TARDIS and it isn't working. Now, how do we get out?"

The man got over his stupor and turned to the strange Doctor. "I'm sorry, sir, but you will not be able to leave until we have a few officials down here." With that, he turned back to where he'd left the rope dangling. The Doctor and Rose watched as the man tied it to his waist, tugged twice, and was hulled up.

They were stuck in a crevice with a broken TARDIS and were waiting for their 'trial.'

The Doctor rushed back into the TARDIS and came back out carrying climbing gear. "So glad I had this hanging around. I forgot to delete it after that time we went rock climbing. "He tossed her a smile and approached the walls of their prison.

He searched the top above for any signs of the population. It was most likely blocked off from the public view. Through the dense smoke he made out the back of a soldier. He shook his head and went to the other side of the pie that held them. Again, movement caught his eye.

He tried again on the other sides. On the final side, he saw a small ledge backed by a building. There was only about half a foot to use as standing space.

He nodded and quietly called Rose over. "Rose, I've found a way out. We need to climb out. See that ledge up there?" he said, pointing above them. "I'm going to toss the claw end up. You need to pull yourself up. There isn't much room, so be careful."

Rose nodded and the Doctor tossed the rope up. The claw caught a small crack up above an held. The Doctor motioned for Rose to go first.

Her feet slipped at first on the lover side but found more purchase the farther up she went. The Doctor followed and was a bit quicker. Soon they sat motionless against the brick building.

It was dark and musty, still a bit hard to breathe from the smoke in the air. The sun had only just set. The skyline was lit in bright orange and deep scarlet.

The Doctor motioned for Rose to keep quiet as he hulled the rope up. He then shuffled to the left. Rose followed him until they came to a long alleyway, close to the curve of the crater.

They paused in silence there as a guard passed by. When he had moved on, they slipped into the dark alley.

Rose caught her breath in large gulps. She was trembling all over but wore her familiar smile. The Doctor quickly stashed the rope in a pile of garbage.

Turning to Rose, he began to talk. "Ok, Rose. Did you recognize where we were?"

Rose shook her head. "It was too dark and the smoke was thick. I didn't see any street signs or anything. But I believe the alleyways all connect. We can go an find the flat my mum and I share. Oh, and Doctor, did you notice that the sun was setting in the East instead of the West?"

The Doctor nodded, grim. "That's just part of the UVRM. THE earth is rotating the wrong direction, clocks won't work, and no one but the very inquisitive will ever notice. It's cloaked, somewhat like the TARDIS."

"But Doctor, what does a UVRM look like? You never did say," Rose inquired.

The Doctor looked thoughtful for a moment then looked at Rose. "A UVRM," he began, "takes a lot of power. It usually harnesses energy from the sun. This energy is funneled into a light bulb. The gasses and such in the light bulb are then funneled into a piece of Time Lord property. It looks like a pocket watch but in reality can hold the essence of a Time Lord. Never used on before and hopefully never will. The watch has to have the Time Lord mind inside of it. The watch won't really work, which, when broadcasted through something like a dish, can confuse or manipulate other things around it. Whatever is transmitting the signal is pretty big, probably a broken satellite or something similar.

"Anyways, whatever has this Time Lord watch is something so evil, so vile, it went through so much trouble just to catch a Time Lord. We need to free the Time Lord to break the signal. Then the TARDIS can go again." He smiled. "Any ideas where we can find a broken satellite?"

Rose quickly nodded. "We have a few museums that might hold one in storage. But first can we visit my mum at our flat?"

The Doctor sighed but gave in. "Fine but is he tries to kiss me again, we're gone!" the Doctor cried out in exasperation, still trying to keep his voice down.

They got up and began to pick their way through the maze of alleys and side streets. Soon they found themselves at Rose's flat. She smiled despite herself. It was good to be home at last!

They started up the stairs that led to the flat Rose and her mum shared. The door was unlocked, as usual, and the Doctor and Rose walked right in.

They were bombarded by Jackie the moment they stepped through the door. "I was so worried!" she cried. "I heard about the crash landing! It's all over the news. Do they know you left?"

The Doctor gave one of his normal gulps, the king the occurred when crazy psychos like Jackie Tyler were around. "We tried to sneak out. Don't think anyone saw us. Do you mind if we see what's happening?"

Jackie nodded and ushered them into her sitting room where the tele was alive and blaring. "UFO crashed into Basting Street!" read the reporter. "Contact has been made. Two adolescents were found next to the wreckage, an old police box." The news reporter paused to listen in on a little radio he had on him. "Folks, it seems that the two have escaped the crater without us knowing. If any one sees these two, please call this number. "Then two pictures, one of Rose, the other of the Doctor, and a phone number flashed across the screen.

Jackie turned off the tele. "You two are on the wanted list now. You aren't going anywhere until this has cleared up." Rose began to complain but Jackie held up her finger. "Nowhere." Then she set them down to dinner. The Doctor grumbled the entire meal but was otherwise quiet.

The Doctor took the couch that night. He really couldn't sleep. He didn't sleep much. Rose on the other hand slept in her bed and was out the second her head hit the pillow.

The next morning, Jackie gave cooking a shot. She fried three eggs with toast and tea.

The whole ordeal from the day before had quieted down a bit. Jackie went out to get chips for them. The Doctor busied himself with doing headstands. Rose had never seen him like this, bored out of his mind with nowhere to go.

Rose watched a bit of tele, but soon went back to her room for a nap. When she awoke, it was early afternoon. Her mum was still gone and the Doctor seemed to be meditating when she walked into the sitting room. She almost burst out laughing but was able to stile her giggles.

He opened one eye at her. "What's so funny?" he asked, an eyebrow raised.

Rose sighed. "Just never seen you so bored before. What did you do before the TARDIS?"

The Doctor also sighed. "What every respectable Time Lord did."

Rose nodded. Then she remembered something shed been meaning to ask the Doctor. "Doctor, when we went on that mission to Palanor, you at first said that you were going to rid the palace of the Laughing Gale. But then you spoke to it, like you sensed it was good. How did you know?"

The Doctor stiffened slightly. He hadn't noticed. Then he recalled the event leading up to the negotiation. He had wanted to get rid of her. It was, well, strange. "Let's just call it a sixth sense."

That ended all attempts at conversation until Jackie returned. She mad some tea to go along with their chips and they all sat down in front of the tele to watch the news. The reporter said that no new had been heard on the crash and then went on with some boring topic about politics.

"Well," the Doctor said, when they had turned the tele off. "We'd better be off." He glanced outside. The rain had started up, a hard pelt. "Perfect weather!" he declared.

Jackie looked out the window. "No, it's dreadful weather. You'll catch your death out there, you will!"

Rose almost screamed. "Mum, we can cover out faces, without making anyone suspicious. This weather is a cover for us. We can get to our destination with ease now. We need to go!"

The Doctor nodded. "This is our one chance to go. We may not have an opportunity like this again for a while.

Finally, Jackie consented. "Fine, but you're both bundling up. And no lurking about. Get to business! Now, where are you two headed?"

Rose thought for a second. "That old museum on Bosimor Street. It seems a perfect enough place for hiding a satellite."

The Doctor jumped up. "Then let's be off! No time to lose!" He grabbed his jacket off a hook and ran to the door. Jackie grabbed him and pulled him to the basket in the hall with all the rain clothes. She gave him a big rain jacket and a rain hat.

Rose bundled up in a giant dark jacket and hat. She pulled her collar up over her face. The Doctor did the same. Soon, only their eyes could be seen beneath their cover up.

Jackie hugged her daughter, but the Doctor escape before she could even try to kiss him.

Soon Rose and the Doctor were on the street, walking amongst the muddled crowds. The streets were full, despite the rain. Honks from cars rang out and bounced off the buildings.

They hurried on for twenty minutes, finally arriving in front of an old, broken down building. The windows were barred and shuttered. There were few people around.

The sign on the door read closed. The Doctor looked both ways and crossed over to the door. Using his sonic screwdriver, he unlocked the door and the two passed through into the old buiding.

Rose turned on the lights. Everything was old but clean. The place was in good condition. A ticket booth stood in the entrance to the main exhibits. Rose and the Doctor walked through.

Again, Rose turned on the lights. The room they had entered was large. Glass exhibits lined the walls. The Doctor smiled. "I like museums. It's how I keep score." He then began to examine the contents of the exhibits.

Rose sighed and began to look for an 'employees only' door. Maybe the satellite was in a storage room. At the far end of the room, she found exactly what she was looking for.

She called the Doctor over and he again opened the door. They walked into a small closet. There wasn't much to see. Rose yet again turned on the lights. Shelves lined the walls. Some of the supplies were helter shelter.

Another door marked 'do not enter' was set in the far wall. The Doctor looked at Rose at the same time she glanced up. Little smiles spread across their faces.

The Doctor slipped up to the door and undid the lock. Rose sidled up next to him. Their smiles had grown to three times their size and now threatened to collapse their faces.

The Doctor opened the door. On the floor before them lay a giant satellite. It was wired up to a small disk on the ground. A little light bulb illuminated the area. It had long wires connected to it. They disappeared through a hole in the ceiling.

Sitting around the UVRM were three statues, all of stone angels. All but one had its eyes covered.

The Doctor froze. Rose looked up at him. "What is it, Doctor?"

"Rose, keep your eyes on those statues and don't blink."

Rose turned her gaze to the angelic creatures before her. "What are they?" Her voice held uncertainty in it.

"Those, Rose, are Weeping Angles. Right now, they are Quantum Locked. If we look away, they can move again. Even if you were to blink, they could catch you. And whatever you do, Rose, don't let one touch you."

Rose nodded her head slowly, taking in what he had just told her.

"Now, Rose, I need to get that watch. Keep watching them and do not blink. Blink one eye at a time if you have to. I need to take my eyes off them to get the watch."

Rose nodded again. The Doctor crept forward over to the small disk. He set to work on unhooking it while Rose watched the stone beasts. They didn't seem so angelic now that she knew that they were deadly.

Finally, the Doctor had the watch and retreated to where Rose kept watch. Slowly, they traced their steps backwards to the door. Once on the other side, the Doctor slammed the door shut and locked it with his sonic screwdriver.

At that time, they heard voices. "Yeah, it came from back here." There was some fiddling at the door. "It's locked, Marcus. You got the key?"

"Yeah, stand back." More fidgeting of the door and the knob began to turn. The Doctor had a quick second to decide upon their next move.

He turned back to the door that led to the Weeping Angles. He yanked it open and found himself face to face with a snarling angel, its fingers outstretched, its winds spread apart.

At the same time, the other door opened and two middle aged men ran in. They paused in surprise upon seeing the two fugitives and the evil looking angels.

One man, the shorter one, pulled out his phone and dialed the police. "Yeah, this is Frank. I'm here at the Moolican Museum on Bosimor Street. I have the two fugitives that were from the crash. Broke in. No damage. Also, some stone angels. Hey, sonny, turn away from the angels."

Rose turned on them. "Unless you would like to die, I suggest you keep your eyes on the angels."

"And why is that, sweety?"

"Because those angels were in the middle of the room ten seconds ago."

The man glanced at the angels, fear setting in. Rose also turned to the angel. "Doctor, why don't you step backwards?"
The Doctor nodded and numbly shuffled backwards. All of a sudden, the Doctor tripped on a broom that had been knocked over. He flailed as he flew backwards. Everyone jumped, taking their focus off the angels.

The angles took advantage. The lights went out. When they came back on, the Doctor was in a headlock. The angel held him tight.

Marcus lay dead on the floor, his throat all bloody. Then the angel spoke. "We are the Weeping Angels. We need a Time Lord or we will die. Give us the watch or we'll use you, Time Lord. The watch or you. Make your choice."
