by XcityofsmilesX

Now that Georgie remembers who she actually is, it's time for her and the Doctor to start again. Though now, Georgie has her powers returning. What's going to happen between her and Rose? What's going to happen between the alien couple and Rose as she tries to deal with their regenation/reborn? Second in the Olympi Legaices. (10/OC, series two)

2. Chapter 2

Chapter Two: The Christmas Invasion

"Mistress!" Sivy cried as I tried to pilot the TARDIS. Though I was being unsuccessful because the Doctor was trying to do the opposite. Poor Sivy scrambled across the consul but was thrown off when we started skidding to a halt. Because of my recent reborn, my clothes were far too baggy, so I slid and fell on my bum.

("Wait a minute!" the girl cried, causing Georgie to jump in surprise, "You said that Sivy was shut down, how is he suddenly up and running again?" Georgie bit her lip and then nodded.

"Woke him up with my mind. Anyway...")

"Oh blast it," I muttered as the new Doctor let out a giggle and ran to the door, "Oh, no." I scrambled to my feet, called for Sivy and Rose, and followed him. The Doctor stuck his head out.

"Here we are then! London! Earth! The Solar System! We did it!" he happily cries, stumbling out, I followed him, holding my pants up. Jackie and Mickey stare at the two of us with their mouths open. The Doctor turns around, now noticing them.

"Jackie! Mickey! Blimey! No, no, no, no, hold on," he stumbles backwards a few steps, pointing at the two of them, "Wait there, I've got something to say. There was something I had to tell you. Something important, what was it? No, hold on, hold on," he comes back to the two of them and puts his hands on Jackie's and Mickey's shoulders, looking like he was thinking hard, "Hold on, shush, shush, shush, shush...OH!' Jackie, Mickey, and I jump in alarm.

"I know!" he looks between the two of them, panting and beaming like he just finished successfully running a mile, "Merry Christmas!" And with that he collapses, falling to the ground unconscious. I run forward, fall to my knees, and put his head in my lap. Rose comes running out, with Sivy on her shoulder, and notices the two of us on the ground.

"What happened? Is he all right?" she asks, though the last question is directed at me. I nod and place a kiss on his sweaty forehead, running my fingers through his hair.

"I don't know, he just kneeled over! But who is he? Who's she? Where's the Doctor and Georgie?" Mickey demanded.

"That's them. Right in front of you. That's the Doctor and Georgie." she explained, pointing to the two of us. I look over at the two of them, then back at the Doctor, still running my fingers through his hair.

"What d'you mean, 'that's the Doctor and Georgie'? Doctor who? Georgie who?" Jackie asks, sounding confused.

-DW-

I folded my hands into a prayer position, leaning my forehead against them. Rose stood behind me as I sat next to the Doctor's bed. I smiled at his striped pajamas, something he would never wear, no matter the regeneration. Once the Doctor had been safely brought to the Tyler's apartment, I went back to the TARDIS and changed into some clothes that actually fit. My wedding ring was on a chain under my dress. Siv and Jackie came back in, Jackie carrying a stethoscope.

"Here we go," she hands it to me and Sivy scrambles onto my shoulder, "Tina the Cleaner's got this lodger, medical student. And she was fast asleep, so Sivy just took it." I give her a nod and put the stethoscope in my ears.

"Though I still say we should take him to the hospital." I yank the stethoscope out again.

"We can't. They'd lock him up then I'd get locked up for getting him up. They'd dissect whichever one they can get their hands on. One bottle of his or my blood could change the future of the human race," I reminded her but she opens her mouth to say something, "No! Shush!" Jackie stops.

I put the stethoscope back in my ears and place it on one side of the Doctor's chest. I let out a breath of relief when I hear a steady heartbeat. I place it on the other side and then take the stethoscope out when I hear the heartbeat.

"Both working. Mind checking?" I ask Rose as I stood up and held it out to her. She takes it from me and places it in her ears.

"What d'you mean 'both'? How many do you have?" Jackie asks incredulously, looking over at the two of us.

"Three. He's got two." I answer, pointing to the first one on my chest for Rose.

"Oh, don't be stupid." Jackie says contemptuously. Rose nods and I point to the next one.

"He has!" Rose exclaims, looking over at her mum as she checks the last one.

"Anything else he's got two of?" Jackie asks, looking down at him as Rose nods and takes the stethoscope out of her ears. She and I turn to leave but I turn back around.

"Leave him alone." I say and she follows us out. The two Tylers go into the kitchen while I sit on the couch, tossing a ball in different directions for Sivy to catch. Rose opens the fridge and takes out some food.

"How can they go changing their face?" Jack asks Rose, trying to be quiet, "Is that a different face or are they different people?"

"Different face." I answered, causing the two of them to look over at me. I got up and walked into the kitchen. I jumped onto the counter, my feet dangling. I mentally cursed my recent reborn, I hated being short.

"We still have our memories Rose. We just look different, actually do you have something that I can look at? Haven't really had the chance to look at myself." I said and Jackie handed me the toaster. I was pleased to see that I still had my emerald green eyes, though it seemed that I didn't really need to wear glasses anymore. But I'm sure I can find some glasses that won't ruin my vision, the Doctor certainly had a habit of wearing glasses only because they looked cool on him.

"See, when my people change, we call it being reborn. Most of our personal qualities change but you can still tell who we are." I explained as I examined myself, turning my head side to side.

"Why does the Doctor look completely different?" Rose asked as I set the toaster down, messing with the beads in my hair.

"He's a Time Lord. I'm an Eternal," I said with a shrug, then remembering something, I looked over at Jackie, "The big question is...where'd you get a pair of men's pajamas from?" Jackie walked away.

"Howard's been staying over." I looked over at Rose for clarification.

"What, Howard from the market? How long's that been going on?" Rose asked, following her mother. I sigh, jumped down and walked back to the couch. I picked Sivy and the ball up and placed him on my lap.

"A month or so. First of all, he starts delivering to the door and I thought, 'that's a bit odd'. Next thing you know, it's a bag of oranges-" she starts to explain before I interrupt her, sort of purposely and it caught my attention.

"Is that Harriet Jones?!" I ask, pointing to the TV. Rose turns around sits next to me.

"Oh, never mind me..." Jackie murmurs.

"Why's she on the telly?" Rose asked aloud, staring at the screen. I did the math in my head.

"She's Prime Minister now." I answered as I wrestled the ball out of Sivy's arms. Jackie nods.

"I'm eighteen quid a week better off," Jackie says and Rose smiles, "They're calling it 'Britain's Golden Age'. Keep on saying 'my Rose has met her'."

"Did more than that. Stopped World War Three with Her. Harriet Jones..."Rose mused.

"Ah Ha!" I cry, finally getting the ball free. Neither of them pay attention to me, still focused on the screen. I roll my eyes and throw the ball, focusing back on the screen.

"Harriet Jones-what about those calling the Guinevere One Space Probe a waste of money?" a man at the press conference on the screen asked.

"Now, that's where you're wrong. I completely disagree if you don't mind," Rose and I laugh, "The Guinevere One Space Probe represents this country's limitless ambition. British workmanship sailing up there among the stars."

-DW-

Rose, Mickey, Sivy (metallic purple headphones around my neck), and I walked down the street together. Thought I didn't feel the cold anymore, I borrowed one of Rose's jackets so I didn't cause attention.

"So, er, what d'you need? Twenty quid?" Mickey asked Rose, he looked over at me, "Need any money Georgie?" I shook my head.

"I've already got Christmas presents for all of you." I said with a smile. He nodded, though there was a faint smile there. He holds out the note to Rose, who gingerly takes it.

"Do you mind? I'll pay you back." Rose reassures him. I roll my eyes and then snap my fingers, in my hand appeared a folded up check for a thousand pounds, courtesy of the Bond family. We had so much saved, a thousand certainly wouldn't be missed.

"Here Mickey...actually," my eyes flashed golden, I knew that it's what they did whenever it was something simple like this, and the check became wrapped up in Christmas paper, "Think I'll keep it for now. Still only Christmas Eve." It disappeared in a small flash of light, back to the TARDIS.

"From me and Rose. It'll be her way of paying you back for your Christmas present." I stated with a grin. Rose smiled and Mickey let out a laugh.

"God, I'm all out of synch. You just forget about Christmas and things in the TARDIS. They don't exist. You get sort of...timeless." Rose explains with a sigh. Mickey rolled his eyes.

"Oh, yeah, that's fascinating, 'cos I love hearing stories about the TARDIS. Oh, go on Rose, tell us another one 'cos I-wow, I could listen to it all day. TARDIS this, TARDIS that..."Mickey teased.

"Shut up!" Rose bantered back with a smile.

"Mistress...I don't think I'd be able to take any, so called, 'flirting'." Sivy commentated, and I glanced over, seeing familiar smiles exchanged. Smiles that I had seen between Esther and whatever boy she was currently with. My hearts stopped.

"Siv..reminder to visit Esther once the Doctor is better," I quietly said, wiping away the forming tears, "Thank you." I glanced over at the two of them, who stopped bantering once I interrupted.

"Thanks for what?" Mickey questioned and I gave him a smirk.

"You and Jackie have made it a habit to visit me at school every Saturday. I wanted to tell you thank you." I explained. Rose's eyebrows furrowed and Mickey's mouth dropped open in shock.

"How'd you know that?" he asked in shock. I held a finger to my lips.

"Secret," Rose shakes her head with a smile, "What're you gonna get for your mum?" I ask as we all start walking again.

"I've got no idea." Rose state with a sigh, looking around.

"I'm round there all the time now, you know. She does my dinner on a Sunday...talks about you all afternoon..." that's when I started to tune the two of them out. I stuck my hands in the jacket, listening to the band play "Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy." I glance at the band of masked Santas, noticing that they were staring at the three of us. I take a step back, grabbing Mickey and Rose. It's a good thing I did so, because their trumpets revealed to be flame throwers.. They shot blue flames, causing immediate panic. I pulled the two of them behind a stall and we hide there.

"It's us! They're after us!" Rose exclaimed as we began running down the street. I scream as a tree falls on top of me.

"Georgie!" Mickey cries and the two of them quickly turn around, trying to pull me out. Sivy shifts back to his spider form and helps them pull me out. Once I'm back on my feet, we're back running.

"What's going on? What've we done? Why are they after us?" Mickey asks frantically. A taxi draws up and I skid to a stop.

"Taxi!" I yell. It stops and we all clamber in, Sivy jumps in on my lap and I close the door. I pull the wedding ring necklace from beneath my dress and sigh.

"It's my fault. They're after the Doctor and I was too stupid to not think of leaving this behind with him." I explained, showing them and then putting it back underneath my dress. Rose pulls her mobile out of her pocket and begins dialing.

"I can't even go shopping with you. We get attacked by a brass band," Mickey says, sounding panicky and then looking over at Rose, "Who're you phoning?"

"My mum." she explains, putting the phone to her ear. After a few moments she lets out a groan.

"Mum, get off the phone!" Rose exclaims exasperatedly.

"Who were...those Santa things?" Mickey asked. Sivy crawls up and nestles into my hair. The two of them look over at me and I sadly give a shrug.

"I have at least a dozen ideas of what they could be, I didn't get a good look at them." I explained and Mickey then looks to Rose, who has no more of an idea than I do.

"I dunno. But think about it-they were after us. What's important about us? Well, nothing. Except the one thing we've got tucked up in bed. The Doctor." she explained. The taxi pulls up and all of us run out before we have the chance to pay. We run up the stairs and burst into the flat, where Jackie (no surprise) is on the phone.

"So, save us a chipolata..." she said into the phone.

"Get off the phone!" Rose yells.

"It's only Bev! She says hello." Jackie argues. Rose grabs the phone off her mum.

"Bev? Yeah-look, it'll have to wait," Rose says into the phone and then hangs it up, "Right, it's not safe, we've gotta get out-where can we go?"

"My mate Stan, he'll put us up." Mickey offers and then Rose shakes her head.

"That's only two streets away," she turns to Jackie, "What about Mo? Where's she living now?"

"I dunno! Peak District!" Jackie exclaims and I shake my head.

"Don't go to family. Besides, Peak District is too far, I'm afraid they'll catch up to us before we even get there. I'm too weak to do much fighting, still reconstructing." I explained.

"It's Christmas Eve! We're not going anywhere! What're you babbling about?" Jackie exclaims, looking between the three of us.

"Mum..."Rose said, looking at something in the corner of the room, we all turn around, seeing the green Christmas tree, "That's a new tree. Where'd you get it?"

"Well, I thought it was you!" Jackie exclaimed.

"How can it be me?" Rose asked, looking at her mum.

"Well, you went shopping, there was a ring at the door, and there it was!" Jackie looks over at Mickey and I, we both shake our heads.

"No, that wasn't me." Rose says. Sivy crawls down and slowly goes toward the tree.

"Then who was it..."Jackie asked, drifting off. I pull Jackie behind me, Rose and Mickey soon follow her, standing behind me. The tree lights up, causing Sivy to jump in surprise and scurry back to me. He wraps around my ankle.

"Oh, you've gotta be kidding me." I breath as the tree starts to spin, slowly at first and then very fast. Jackie lets out a scream. "Jingle Bells" plays in a fast tempo as it starts to travel towards us. It reduces the coffee table to simple logs (more like pieces) of firewood in mere seconds.

"Go, go, go! Get out!" Mickey yells and picks up a chair and holds it in front of him. Rose and Jackie run from the room while Sivy jumps off me and over to Mickey. I quickly run into the Doctor's room with Rose.

"We've got to save the Doctor!" Rose yells to her mum, who's standing in front of the bedroom door.

"What're you doing?!" Jackie exclaims, looking back at Mickey and the tree and then to us again.

"We can't just leave him!" I exclaim, trying to get him ready to be carried, though he won't budge.

"Mickey!" Jackie yells "Leave it! Get out! Get out!"

"Siv! C'mon!" I yell, running to the door, Mickey and Sivy quickly join us.

"Just leave him!" Jackie exclaims.

"Get in here!" Mickey and I yell. In a frustrated manner, Jackie slams the door shut. She and Mickey, Sivy on Mickey's shoulder, slide a wardrobe in front of the door while Rose and I continue trying to help the Doctor.

"Doctor, wake up!" Rose begs. Mickey, Sivy, and Jackie lean against the wardrobe and I run over to the Doctor's leather jacket, pulling out his sonic screwdriver, knowing, just knowing this was a bad idea. The wardrobe starts to shake, our clue that the Christmas tree was trying to get through. I quickly place the sonic screwdriver in his hand, and mentally cursing myself as he still remained lifeless. The Christmas tree finally smashes through the wardrobe, and the three of them are thrown backwards. Jackie cowers against the wall.

"I'm gonna get killed by a Christmas tree!" Jackie squeaks and I let out a curse in my language and lean down next to the Doctor's ear.

"Help me." Rose pulled me back. The Doctor sits up very suddenly and points his sonic screwdriver at the tree. It explodes and I cover my face with my arms to avoid getting hit by the pieces. The Doctor lowers the sonic screwdriver.

"Remote control. But who's controlling it?" he stated and then gets out of bed.

-DW-

"Doctor please, you need to be back in bed." I beg as I followed him out onto the balcony. He finished securing the dressing gown around him and then quickly turns around, placing a kiss on my lips. After a minute, he pulls away and gives me a cheeky smile.

"Oh, I hate you." I whisper.

"No you don't." he countered back. Rose, Jackie, and Mickey, Sivy was still on his shoulder, come out to join us. On the ground below stand three of the Santas that tried to attack us.

"That's them. What are they?" Mickey questions and Rose shushes him. The Doctor snakes an arm around my waist and raises his sonic screwdriver at the Santas in a threatening manner. They back away, standing closer to each other. Then, they teleport themselves away.

"They've just gone! What kind of rubbish were they? I mean, no offense, but they've not mush cop if a sonic screwdriver's gonna scare them off." Mickey said, looking over at the two of us.

"Pilot Fish." We said at the same time, me in a more frustrated tone and the Doctor sounding more like stating a fact.

"What?" Rose asks and all the humans look at us. He looks down at me, kisses the side of my head.

"They were just Pilot Fish." He states and then coughs. He throws himself backwards against the wall, causing me to rush towards him. I kneel down next to him, holding him by the arm.

"What's wrong?!" Rose asks.

"You woke me up too soon," the Doctor states, panting, "I'm still regenerating. I'm bursting with energy." Some of the vortex escapes through his mouth.

"I'm sorry. I'm still trying to get used to being Hephsta, I panicked." I explained and he shook his head.

"Not your fault. You see? The Pilot Fish could smell it. A million miles away. So they eliminate the defense-that's you lot, glad to see you've still got it in you Fess-and they carry me off. They could run their batteries on me for a couple of year-." He lurches forward, groaning and I quickly catch him, one hand on his chest and the other on his back.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Jackie exclaims.

"My head!" the Doctor grits and Jackie quickly kneels down, helping me hold him up, "I'm having a neuron implosion. I need-"

"What do you need?" Jackie frantically asked.

"I need-" the Doctor began before Jackie interrupted.

"Say it, tell me, tell me-"
"I need-"

"Painkillers?"

"I need-"

"Do you need aspirin?"

"I-"

"Codeine? Paracetamol? Oh, I dunno-Pepto-Bismol?"

"I need-"

"Liquid paraffin. Vitamin C? Vitamin D? Vitamin E?"

"I need-"

"Is it food? Something simple? Uh-a bowl of soup? A nice bowl of soup? Soup and a sandwich? Soup and a little ham sandwich?" Jackie asked, her voice rising hysterically.

"I need you to shut up." The Doctor finally snapped.

"Oh, he hasn't changed that much, has he?" Jackie asked, standing up and looking over at me. I give her a shrug. The Doctor lurches forward again, out of my hands and against the opposite wall.

"We haven't got much time. If there's Pilot Fish, then…" he puts his hand in his pocket and take an apple out of his dressing gown pocket, "Why's there an apple in my dressing gown?"

"Oh, that's Howard, sorry." Jackie explains. The Doctor and I glance at each other than over at Jackie.

"He keeps apples in his dressing gown?" the Doctor asked.

"He gets hungry." Jackie states. The Doctor looks at the apple, confused.

"What, het gets hungry in his sleep?" the Doctor asked.

"Sometimes." Jackie states with a shrug. The Doctor suddenly shouts with pain again and sinks to the floor. He grimaces.

"Brain…collapsing…" He grabs hold of my upper arms, holding on tightly, "P—the Pilot Fish. The Pilot Fish mean…that something—something," he takes a few deep breaths, "Something's coming." He collapses into my lap.

-DW-

I kneel next to the Doctor on his bed, humming a lullaby in English from Georgie's childhood; I tuck him in and mop his forehead with a flannel. Though a part of him is calm, he's still restless and sweaty. Mickey and Rose pass the room; Mickey's holding a laptop and Sivy sitting on top of Rose's head. They look at us and I bite my lip, Mickey nods and then they all go on. I kiss the Doctor's forehead.

"Please get better." I whisper then go out to the living room. I go over and sit on the couch, staring straight ahead. Mickey sets up his laptop, with Rose next to him, rolling a ball around for Sivy.

"Jackie, I'm using the phone line. Is that all right?" Mickey asked.

"Yeah. Keep a count of it," Jackie said, bringing in three cups of tea, "It's midnight. Christmas day." She puts down two of the cups in front of Rose and Mickey. She then comes over and gives me the other cup of tea.

"Any change?" she asked and I shook my head.

"He's worse. Just one heart beating." I stated, taking a sip and watching the telly. Jackie sighs and sits down next to me.

"Scientists in charge of Britain's mission to Mars have re-established contact with the Guinevere One space probe. They're expecting the first transmission from the planet's surface in the next few minutes." A reporter says and it switches over to a man named Llewellyn at a live press conference.

"Yes, we are. We're-we're back on schedule. We've received the signal from Guinevere One. The Mars landing would seem to be an unqualified success." Llewellyn explains.

"But is it true that you completely lost contact earlier tonight?"

"Yes, we had a bit of a scare. Guinevere seemed to fall of the scope, but it-it was just a blip. Only disappeared for a few seconds. She's fine now, absolutely fine. We-we're getting the first pictures transmitted live any minute now. I'd better get back to it, thanks." Llewellyn says, leaving the conference. I frown, and then Mickey calls my name. I set the cup on the ground and go over, standing behind him.

"Here we go, Pilot Fish. Scavengers, like the Doctor said. Harmless-they're tiny, but the point is, the little fish swim alongside the big fish." Mickey explained.

"Do you mean like sharks?" Rose asked as Sivy jumped over to me and scrambled up my arm and settled on my shoulder.

"Great big sharks. So, what the Doctor means is, we had them…" the animation of a shark on the screen snaps viciously, "Now we get that." I said, nodding my head at it.

"Something is coming…"Sivy states and I look over at him.

"How close?" I ask him.

"Systems malfunctioned due to TARDIS shut down." Sivy states before he falls over, powered down. I sigh and close him up, holding him in my hand.

"There's no way of telling, but the Pilot Fish don't swim far from their daddy." Mickey states, nodding at the screen.

"So, it's close?" Rose questioned, looking at me and I nod my head.

"Wouldn't doubt it." I stated.

"Funny sort of rocks." Jackie comments and I look back at her, seeing her still staring at the telly. I go back and stand by her, my eyes going wide.

"That's not rocks…" I state and Mickey and Rose come next to us, looking at the image. It starts to become clearer and clearer, though I already knew what it was.

"…coming live from the depths of space on Christmas morning." The image finally comes clear, revealing the alien, who roars viciously at us. The four of us gasp and jump backwards.

-DW-

I fiddled with the sleeping Sivy, still staring straight ahead. Rose and Mickey were sitting at the table, working on the laptop.

"Georgie," Mickey says and I blink a few times then rush over to them, "Take a look, I've got access to the military. They're tracking a spaceship. It's big, it's fast, and it's coming this way."

"Coming for what, though? The Doctor?" Rose asked, looking up at me. I sigh and place Sivy in my pocket.

"Who knows? Maybe they're coming for all of us." I stated with a shrug. An image of four of the Sycorax comes onto the screen and they began to speak. Though, because I was still trying to get used to being Hephsta, I couldn't understand them.

"Have you seen them before?" Mickey asks the two of us.

"No."

"Yes. I don't understand what they're saying though. My mind is still trying to process all of Hephsta's memories and knowledge. So, it sounds like gibberish to me. However, we still should be able to understand it because the TARDIS translates alien languages inside our heads, all the time."

"So, why isn't it doing it now?" Mickey asked and I sat down between the two of them, still looking at the screen.

"I don't know. Must be the Doctor. Like he's part of the circuit, and he's…he's broken." I said quietly. Rose rubs my back.

-DW-

I stand in the doorframe, watching the sleeping Doctor and Jackie. Mickey comes and stands next to me. I glance at him and then back at the Doctor.

"I don't know what to do Mickey…I'm lost. For the first time, in two thousand years I am completely clueless. I…I just want him back, I want him to hold me and have a ridiculous plan up his sleeve and tell me everything's all right. He's gonna protect me." I stated, wiping away the tears. He looks at me with a sad smile

"You really love him, don't you?" he asked and I let out a watery chuckle.

"I remember when he asked me to marry him. He had taken me to the year 3456 in Paris, he had it all planned out: dinner, sightseeing, and then he was going to ask the question. But, nothing went right, it turned out that these creatures, the Tentala, big massive squid sort of things, were planning to take over Paris because they were tired of being treated like slaves. I remember (chuckles) I was about to be eaten, its tentacles were flailing about and the Doctor yelled 'put my fiancé' down!' I, of course, was thrown on top of him and I said 'so this is what you had planned'?" I tell him and he gives me a smile.

"Please just wake up." I whisper, then Mickey and I turned to the door, where Rose was going outside to see what all the yelling was about. We follow her and pop our heads out.

"What is wrong with you? Jason? Jason?" a woman demands, following the hypnotized man.

"Sandra?" Rose questions. Sandra stops, looking at the three of us.

"He won't listen! He's just walking, he won't stop walking!" she stares after him, "There's this sort of light, thing. Jason! Stop it!" I take a few cautious steps forward, followed by Rose and Mickey.

"Right now!" Sandra demands. I look over the balcony, seeing dozens of people hypnotized by the same blue light around Jason.

"Oh bugger." I mutter, the two of them look at me.

"What?" Rose questions.

"I know what this is, and trust me when I say…it's nothing good." I stated, following the people up to the roof. Rose and Mickey follow me and when we reach the edge, like everyone else, I stare.

"Jason, I'm talking to you! Just stop!" Sandra demands.

"What do we do?" Mickey asked and I let out a loud yell, kicking the ground.

"I hate blood control! Can't do a damn thing because of it!" I snapped, running back to the Tyler's home.

"What do you mean you can't do anything?" Mickey asked as I opened the door, storming in.

"Can't do anything because I don't know where the control is. If I find said control, then I'd be able to do something." I explained, coming to a halt when I noticed Harriet Jones on the screen.

"Ladies and gentlemen…if I may take a moment during this terrible time. It's hardly the Queen's speck, I'm afraid that's been cancelled," she turns her head to the side, addressing someone off camera, "Did we ask about the royal family?" waits for a reply, "Oh. They're on the roof. But-Ladies and gentlemen-this crisis is unique, and I'm afraid to say, it might get much worse. I would ask you all to remain calm. But I have one request: Doctor, Hephsta. If either one of you are out there…we need you." I let out a sigh as Jackie looks over at me.

"Don't know how in hell they did that…haven't even been Hephsta for a full day." I mutter.

"I don't know what to do. But if you can hear me, Doctor, Hephsta," I turn away, "If anyone knows the Doctor or Hephsta, if anyone can find them…the situation has never been more desperate." I walk to the Doctor room, blocking out Harriet's please for help. I can't help but start sobbing and I fall to my knees, Jackie runs over, grabbing my face and wiping away my tears.

"I don't know what to do. I've never done anything without him. I'm so lost." I whimper, Jackie places a kiss on my forehead and hugs me. I cry into her shoulder.

"It's all right…I'm sorry…" she whispers in my ear and at that moment, the windows smash, showering the floor with glass. Jackie and I break because of the ground shaking. I quickly get to my feet, running outside and looking up at the sky. A huge spaceship floats into view, blocking the sun and remains hovering over central London. I stare up at the sky for a few more seconds then run back in. I dry my face and run into the Doctor's room.

"Mickey, Rose, we're gonna carry him," I throw the duvet off him, "Jackie get your stuff and some food. We're going."

"Well, were to?" Mickey asked.

"The TARDIS. It's the only safe place on Earth." I explain.

"What're we gonna do in there?!" Jackie asks as Rose rushes forward, helping me with the Doctor.

"Hide." I stated in the most obvious tone I could.

"Is that it?!" Jackie asks and I stop what I'm doing to look at her.

"Jackie-look in the sky. There's a great, big, alien invasion and I'm pretty damn useless right now. Don't have a spider and I'm still in my reborn process and still trying to have all of my Hephsta memories and knowledge come back. Now, all we can do is run and hide, and I'm sorry. Now, move." Jackie leaves the room and Rose and I heave the Doctor up. Rose takes his shoulders, Mickey his legs while I take the middle.

"Alright, let's lift him." I say and we do just that. With some difficulty, we get the Doctor out and through the front door of the Powell Estate. Jackie follows the three of us, struggling with several shopping bags. She drops one and tries to pick it up again.

"Mum, will you just leave that stuff and give us a hand?" Rose yells.

"It's food! Georgie said we need-"

"Just leave it!" Rose yells. We make it to the TARDIS and I open the door, Mickey and Rose go through with the Doctor first and Jackie follows. I shut the door behind me, leaning my head against it for a moment.

"No chance you could fly this thing Georgie?" Mickey asked and I raised my forehead, turning around and shaking it. I walked up the plank.

"Can't risk it. Better for us and the Doctor to remain unseen." I explained sitting down next to the Doctor on the floor. I raise his head and place it in my lap, running my fingers through his hair.

"So, what do we do? Just sit here?" Mickey asked.

"That's as good as it gets." Rose says, clearly frustrated. Jackie comes up to us with a thermal flask.

"Right, here we go. Nice cup of tea." She says, handing the thermal to me. I smile and open it, taking a sip and then setting it down.

"Hmm, the solution to everything…"Rose states sarcastically.

"No, stop your moaning. I'll get the rest of the food." Jackie says and leaves the TARDIS. Rose leans against the consul and looks down at the two of us.

"Tea. Like we're having a picnic while the world comes to an end. Very British."

"We've done that before," I stated, causing the two of them to look at me, "Had a picnic…never mind." Mickey looks at the TARDIS computer screen.

"How does this thing works? It picks up TV, maybe we could see what's going on out there. Maybe we've surrendered," he presses a few buttons and I gently take the Doctor's head out of my lap and join the two of them, "What do you do to it?"

"I dunno, it sort of tunes itself." Rose explains, pressing a few buttons. I sit down in a chair, listening to the sound the computer is making, almost thankful for some sort of sound from the beautiful machine.

"Maybe it's a distress signal." Mickey said with a shrug.

"Fat lot of good that's gonna do." Rose said.

"Are you gonna be a misery all the time?"

"Yes, I have a damn good reason." I state, swinging my foot back and forth.

"You should look at it from my point of view-stuck in here with her mum's cooking." Mickey says with a laugh. I frown, looking around.

"Where is she?" I asked and Mickey and Rose shrug. I jump to my feet, walking down the plank.

"I'd better go and give her a hand. It might start raining missiles out there." I said, pausing with my hand on the door handle and looking back at the two of them.

"Tell her anything from a tin, that's fine." Mickey says.

"Why don't you tell her yourself?" Rose asks him and he snorts.

"I'm not that brave and I'm not an alien that could easily destroy her in two seconds flat." Mickey says, looking at Rose then me.

"Better watch it mister. You don't know what I could do." I tease and open the door. As soon as I take a step outside, a Sycorax grabs me and I scream.

"Georgie?" Rose and Mickey yell, the two of them run out of the doors, staring at the surroundings with wide eyes. An arm breaks free and I point to the door.

"The door! Close the door!" I yell, Mickey dashes to the door and slams it shut before he and Rose are both grabbed. From what I can understand, the Sycorax are happy with our capture because all of them cheer. Harriet Jones stumbles out from the ground, looking at Rose and I.

"Rose. Georgie," The three of us embrace each other, "Oh! I've got you two. My Lord. My precious thing. The Doctor…or Hephsta, are they with you?" Rose and I look at one another.

"Harriet…how do you know that name?" I asked, looking at her.

"Buried deep within the archives of the Doctor, don't know why they suddenly decided to include her. But that's not important, are either of them with you?" I can tell she's lying about how she got the information, but I don't press it, I know I'll find out later.

"No. We're all on our own." Rose lied for me. The Sycorax leader points at Rose and addresses her angrily, though now I'm starting to understand it.

"The yellow girl…" a guy starts to read.

"Yeah, no, she isn't the one with the box. It's mine. So, if you wanna start talking, let's talk." I sneer at them, pushing Rose back and strutting forward. I poke the leader in the chest. He looks down at me and speaks again, though I allow the boy to read aloud.

"Who are you to defy an order of the Sycorax?" I rolled my eyes.

"I'm Princess Hephsta Olympi of the Eternals and by the Shadow Proclamation and my people. I order you to leave. To leave and never return to Earth." I hiss and there's a few seconds of stunned silence, and then all the Sycorax burst out laughing. The Sycorax leader begins to speak again.

"Not only are you very, very funny but you are also a liar. The Princess is dead and you will so join her." The boy translated.

"Leave her alone!" Harriet yelled.

"Don't touch her!" Mickey yelled.

"Leave her be!" Rose snapped and I glance back at them, my hearts breaking at my friends trying to help me but only being restrained by the Sycorax.

"Did you think you were clever with your stolen words?" the leader asks me, though I understand it fine, the boy continues to read. The leader circles around me.

"Kind of. I was telling the truth." I state with a shrug, ignoring the nervous pounding of my hearts. The leader ignores me and raises his arms into the air, speaking passionately to his people.

"We are the Sycorax. We astride the darkness. Next to us you are but a wailing child. If you are the best your planet can offer as a champion…"

"Then your world will be gutted…" the boy and Sycorax leader said at the same time. I stare at him.

"…and your people enslaved…" they said again, the boy looked up, "Hold on, that's English."

"He's talking English." Harriet confirmed.

"You're talking English." Rose says.

"I would never dirty my tongue with your primitive bile!" the Leader spat. I smirked, one hand on my hip and the other pointing at him.

"That's English," I said, pointing at him with a twirl of my finger and then turning to the group, "Can you hear English?" They all nod.

"Yeah, that's English." Mickey stated.

"Definitely English." The guy confirmed and I sighed.

"You, pretty tech boy, what's your name?" I finally asked and the guy pointed to himself, glancing between the others. I sigh, "Yes, you."

"Alex."

"Kay. Thank you, now, you," I turn back around and poked the Leader in the chest, "were speaking English."
"I speak only Sycoraxic!" the Leader yelled angrily. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I know that. I can understand you without the TARDIS but if they can understand you then that means…" I slowly turned around, looking at the TARDIS. Mickey, Harriet, and Rose follow suit. The doors open, revealing a smiling Doctor in his stripy pajamas and dressing gown with Sivy on his shoulder. I patted my pocket, curious as to how he got out and then realized he must've fallen out when I got grabbed.

"Did you miss me?" the two of them asked. I grin widely, getting ready to run into his arms. But the Sycroax Leader roars in fury and lashes his whip at the Doctor, who simply catches the end and pulls it away from him. He throws it to the side.

"You could have someone's eyes out with that! And I'd rather you didn't, my wife has rather beautiful eyes." He grins at me, giving me a wink. However, the Sycorax Leader roars again and tries to attack the Doctor with his staff, but the Doctor snatches it off him and snaps it over his knee. He chucks the broken pieces on the floor.

"You can't get the staff. Now, you, just wait. I'm busy." The Doctor says, pointing at him warningly. The Leader stares at him incredulously and then the Doctor goes over to Mickey. "Mickey! Hello!" turns to Harriet, "And Harriet Jones MP for Flydale North. Blimey, it's like 'This Is Your Life'!" he then turns to Rose, "Tea! That's all I needed! A good cup of tea! Superheated infusion of free radicals and tannin. Just the thing for healing the synapses…" he then comes over to me, grinning and then kissing me deeply, "Now that that's over with…be honest, how do I look?"

"Different." I answer with a smile, my arms around his neck.

"Good different or bad different?" he asks, completely serious.

"Just…different. My different Doctor." I answered.

"Am I…ginger?" he asked, becoming deadly serious. I chuckle and run my fingers through his hair and he closes his eyes, making a purring sound.

"No, you're just sort of brown." I answered with a sly grin and pulled my hand away. He frowned.

"That's not fair. You did that on purpose," he complains and I shrug and took Sivy from him, "Aww, I wanted to be ginger. I've never been ginger," he breaks us apart, going over to Rose, he points at her violently, "And you, Rose Tyler, fat lot of good you were-you gave up on me-oh, that's rude. That's the sort of man I am now, am I? Rude. Rude and not ginger."

"I'm sorry-who is this?" Harriet asked as the Doctor pondered who he was.

"I'm the Doctor." He answered.

"He's the Doctor." Rose stated with a nod.

"But what happened to my Doctor? Or is it a title that's just passed on?" Harriet asked, looking over at the Doctor with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm him. I'm literally him. Same man, new face-well, new everything." The Doctor confirmed, walking towards her.

"But you can't be." Harriet said, with her brow furrowed.

"Harriet Jones. We were trapped in Downing Street, and the one thing that scared you wasn't the aliens…wasn't the war…it was the thought of your mother being on her own." Harriet gaped at him.

"Oh, my God." She gasped.

"Did you win the election?" the Doctor asked, bending down slightly. Harriet smiles, rather pleased.

"Landslide majority."

"If I might interrupt!" the Leader spat. We all spin around, all of us seem to have forgotten that he was there.

"Yes! Sorry! Hello, big fella!" the Doctor cried.

"Who exactly are you?" the Leader questioned.

"Well. That's the question." the Doctor said with a fixed grin.

"I demand to know who you are!" the Leader roared.

"I DON'T KNOW!" the Doctor roared, imitating the Sycorax's voice, "See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I-I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested," he explained, walking around and addressing everyone, "Am I funny? Am I sarcastic?" he looks over at me, "Sexy?" he winks cheekily and I smirk back at him, "Right old misery? Life and soul? Right-handed? Left-handed? A gambler?"

"God I hope not." I mutter and the Doctor winks at me again.

"A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging evidence, I've certainly got a gob," he stated adn then grabbed my hand, giving it a kiss, "noticed the button?" he quietly asked.

"And how is my wonderful husband going to react when he sees a great big threatening button?" I teased, smiling wide and pointing at it. He laughs and drags me along up the stairs.

"A Great Big Threatening Button Which Must Not Be Pressed Under Any Circumstances. Am I right?" he asked, looking over at me. I shrugged.

"Let me guess, it's some sort of control matrix? Hmm?" I questioned, looking over at the Sycoraxs with my hands locked behind my back.

"Hold on, what's feeding it?" the Doctor asked and bent down. I glanced over, seeing him open a small door that was access to the controls underneath the button.

"And what've we got here? Blood?" he questions and dips his finger in it and tastes it. I grimace.

"I'm not kissing you till you rinse your mouth with mouthwash."

"Yeah, definitely. Blood. Human Blood, A Positive. With just a dash of iron," he waggles his tongue around at the nasty taste and wipes his finger on his dressing gown, "Ahh. But that means..blood control-" he becomes excited, "Blood control! Oh! I haven't seen blood control for years! You're controlling all the A Positives!"

"I knew that!" I stated and he scoffed.

"Course you did."

"Back to the current problem," he clears his throat, his whole demeanor becoming incredibly serious, "Which leaves us with a great big stinking problem. 'Cos I really don't know who I am. I don't know when to stop. So if I see a Great Big Threatening Button Which Should Never Ever Be Pressed...then I just wanna do this." He grabs my hand and the two of us whack hard on the button.

"No!" Harriet and Rose yell.

"You killed them!" Alex yelled.

"What do you think, big fella?" the Doctor asked, letting go of my hand and crossing his arms. I did the same.

"Are they dead?" I immediately asked after him.

"We allow them to live." the Leader said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Allow?" I began.

"You've no choice!" the Doctor stated with a laugh.

"I mean, that's all blood control is."

"Cheap bit of voodoo."

"Scares the pants off you, but that's as far as it goes."

"It's like hypnosis-you can hypnotize someone to walk like a chicken or sing like Elvis, you can't hypnotize them to death."

"Survival instinct's too strong," he looked over at me, "God I missed that."

"Blood control was just one form of conquest. I can summon the armada and take this world by force."

"Well, yeah, you could. Yeah, you could do that-of course you could. But why? Look at these people," he gestures to the humans, "Theses human beings. Consider their potential. From the day they arrive on the planet and blinking step into the sun. There is more to see than can ever be seen..."
"That's the Lion King." I whispered, leaning over to him. He blinked, looking over at me and then back at the crowd.

"Sorry. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!"

"Or what?" the Leader questions.

"Or..." the Doctor begins. He grabs a sword from one of the Sycorax guarding the humans, runs down the steps into the empty floor space in front of the TARDIS and raises it into the air. "I challenge you." The Sycorax Leader and the other Sycorx burst out laughing. "Oh, that struck a chord. Am I right that the sanctified rules of combat still apply?"

"You stand as this world's champion." the Leader stated as he came down the stairs, unsheathing his own sword.

"Thank-you. I've no idea who I am, but you just summed me up." the Doctor shrugged off his dressing gown and tosses it to me and I hold it in my arms. Sivy scrambles down my arm and onto the dressing gown, getting a better view for himself. "So-you accept my challenge? Or are you just a cranak pal cassacree salvak?" The Leader hisses and they both kneel by their swords.

"For the planet?" the Leader questions.

"For the planet." They stand up and face each other, holding their swords at the ready. Then, they run at each other and begin to fight. After a few seconds, the Doctor is thrown aside, and the Leader laughs. However, the Doctor straightens himself up and they fight again. The Leader swings his sword at the Doctor.

"Look out!" Rose yells.

"Oh, yeah, that helped. Wouldn't have thought of that otherwise, thanks," I roll my eyes as they begin to fight again, then the Doctor leads the fight up the stairs, "Bit of fresh air?" He hits a button and a door opens, leading to a platform on the outside of the spaceship. They continue to fight and I quickly run outside, leading the a few Sycroax and the humans outside. The Leader manages to catch the Doctor on the nose, causing him to groan. Rose tries to run forward but I quickly pull her back.

"You can't! If anyone invalidates the challenge, he wins the planet." I explain. The Doctor wipes his nose, and the two of them run towards each other, their swords clashing. The Doctor is knocked backwards to the ground. The Sycorax Leader took his chance and slashed at the Doctor's wrist, succeeding in taking his hand off. The Doctor watches his hand fall, looking at with an rather annoyed expression.

"You cut my hand off." the Doctor bluntly stated.

"YAH! Sycorax!" the Leader roars triumphantly.

"And now I know what sort of man I am," the Doctor said, getting up on his feet, "I'm lucky. 'Cos quite...I'm still within the first fifteen hours of my regeneration cycle. Which means I've got just enough residual cellular energy...to do this." He holds up his stump of an arm, and the golden energy makes his hand grow back.

"Witchcraft." the Leader said with wide eyes.

"Time Lord." the Doctor smirked and I turned and took one of the Sycorax's swords out of its sheath.

"Doctor!" I cry and he turns around and I toss it to him. He catches it by the handle and spins around.

"Oh, so I'm still the Doctor, then?" he questions.

"No arguments from me!" I stated with a smile. The Doctor clicks his tongue and winks at me.

"Wanna know the best bit? This new hand..." he switches to a Texan accent, "It's a fightin' hand!" The Doctor runs at the Sycorax Leader, and the fight begins once again. They clash swords for a few more moments, then the Doctor jabs him hard in the stomach with the handle of the sword. Sivy and I wince, and the Leader groans. The Doctor does the same twice more, causing the Sycroax Leader to fall to the ground. The Doctor points his sword at his throat.

"I win."

"Then kill me."

"I'll spare your life if you'll take this champion's command: leave this planet, and never return. What do you say?"

"Yes." the Leader answered.

"Swear on the blood of your species." the Doctor spat, jabbing his sword closer.

"I swear." the Leader said with labored breathing.

"There we are, then! Thanks for that! Cheers, big fella!" the Doctor lightly said. He jabs the sword into the ground.

"Bravo!" Harriet cries, clapping.

"That says it all. Bravo!" Rose agrees as I run forward. She quickly follows.

"Yeah! Not bad for a man in his jim-jams!" the Doctor agreed as I put the dressing gown back on him, "Very Arthur Dent. Now, there was a nice man. Hold on, what have I got in here?" he takes a satsuma out of his pocket and I giggle, "A satsuma. Ah, that friend of your mothers-he does like his snacks doesn't he? But doesn't that just sum up Christmas?" We all begin to walk back to the door as the Doctor throws the satsuma in the air and catches it again.

"You go through all those presents and right at the end, tucked away at the bottom, there's always one stupid old satsuma. Who wants a satsuma?" Suddenly, the Sycorax Leader roars behind us and the Doctor throws the satsuma at a switch on the side of the ship. The roaring changed to screaming and I glanced back, seeing an opening where I guess he fell through. I look over at the Doctor, who's smile has faded from his face.

"No second chances. I'm that sort of man."

-DW-

I stand next to the Doctor as Sivy sat on his shoulder. We stood in front of the TARDIS with the other humans.

"By the ancient rites of combat," the Doctor began, addressing the remaining Sycorax, "I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when you go back to the stars and tell others of this planet...when you tell them of its riches-its people-its potential. When you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this: It-is-defended." With that, we're all teleported back onto Earth.

"Where are we?" Rose questions.

"We're just off Bloxom Road. We're just round the corner, we did it!" Mickey laughs and jumps up and down in glee. I hold out my hand as the spaceship's engines start up.

"Wait a minute...wait a minute..." I say and then the ship takes flight, back to the skies. I grin, looking over at the Doctor, who pulled me in for another kiss.

"Really?!" Sivy questioned, using his legs to try and pry us apart. After a few seconds, we did, but the Doctor kept an arm around my waist, holding me close to him.

"Go on, my son! Oh, yeah!" Mickey cries gleefully.

"Yeah! Don't come back!" Rose yells, jumping on Mickey's back.

"It is defended!" Mickey cries. We all laugh happily and Rose jumps off his back, hugs Mickey and then runs over and hugs me, almost knocking me over. I smile, hugging everyone else, even that Alex kid. The Doctor and Harriet face each other and Harriet raises her arms, grinning at the Doctor.

"My Doctor" I raise an eyebrow at her, "Doctor."

"Prime Minister." the Doctor said with a grin, happily hugging her.

"Absolutely the same man," the Doctor smiles and they both turn to look up at the sky, "Are there many more out there?" Harriet questions.

"Oh, not just the Sycorax." I began, walking over and snaking an arm around his waist and leaning my head against his chest.

"Hundreds of species. Thousands of them. And the human race is drawing attention to itself."

"Every day you're sending out probes and messages and signals-this planet's so noisy. You're getting noticed...more and more. You'd better get used to it." I finished, looking at Harriet.

"Rose!" Jackie cries, running down the street to her daughter. The Doctor and I look at each other.

"Mum!"

"Oh! Talking of trouble..."the Doctor murmured to me, kissing the my temple. Rose runs up to her mum, hugging her tightly.

"Oh, my God! You did it! Rose! Oh!" Jackie cries, Mickey joins the two of them. I glance back at Alex and Harriet, who were together whispering quietly.

"You did it too! It was the tea! Fixed his head!" Rose explains to her mother.

"That was all I needed-cup 'o tea. Also a few kisses from my beautiful wife." he said, swooping in and pecking my lips once...twice...well, three times, but the last one he purposely did.

"I said so!" Jackie exclaimed, pointing her finger at Rose.

"Look at him!" Rose says, smiling happily, "Look at the both of them!"

"Is it them, though? Is it really the Doctor and Georgie?" she then notices Harriet behind us, "Oh, my God! It's the bleeding Prime Minister!"

"Come here, you." I say, holding my arm out to Jackie. We all soon join in a big group hug.

"Aww...Are you better?" Jackie asks the two of us. We look at each other, big smiles and then back at her.

"I think we are, yeah!" the Doctor answers. Jackie immediately turns to Rose.

"You left me!" she exclaims, pointing a finger in her face.

"I'm sorry!"

"I had all the food!" Jackie argues. The Doctor and I turn back to Harriet and Alex and give her a smile, which I notice she had a hard time returning. We turn our attention back to our friends, where Rose and her mum were arguing. Suddenly, we all jump as a beam of green light shoots loudly up from the ground nearby. The same green light beams up from another four points, and the five points meet in the middle, creating one that shot up and destroyed the spaceship.

"What is that? What's happening?" Rose asked, giving a gasp. Jackie puts a hand over her mouth. The Doctor looks from the sky to Harriet, all previous happiness gone from his face. He lets go of me and walks toward Harriet slowly.

"That was murder." the Doctor spat.

"That was defense. It's adapted from alien technology. A ship that fell to Earth about ten years ago." I frowned, quickly going over some info in my head and doing some mental math.

"But they were leaving." the Doctor snapped, still angry. I pulled on his sleeve and he leaned down, giving me an ear. I cupped it, leaning closer and whispering some info.

"The ship we came in crashed to earth almost ten years. We never knew what happened to it after we woke up. They must've taken it from us when we were in the transfiguration stage. We were never sure what happened." His eyes went wide and he went going to run forward until I grabbed him. Harriet stumbled back, noticing the fury in the Doctor's eyes.

"You said yourself, Doctor. They'd go back to the stars and tell others about the Earth. I'm sorry, Doctor, but you're not here all the time. You come and go. It happened today-Mr. Llewellyn and the Major. They were murdered. They died right in fort of me while you were sleeping. In which case-we have to defend ourselves."

"Britain's Golden Age." the Doctor spat disdainfully as I still held him back.

"It comes with a price." Harriet stated sadly.

"I gave them the warning. I should've told them to run-as fast as they can, run and hide because the monsters are coming: the human race." the Doctor spat.

"Those are the people I represent. I did it on their behalf."

"Then I should've stopped you."

"What does that make you, Doctor? Another alien threat?" Harriet challenged and I let go of the Doctor, stepping towards her angrily.

"Don't challenge me or my husband Harriet Jones. 'Cos I'm a completely new woman. I could bring down your Government with a single word."

"You two are the most remarkable people I have ever met. But I don't think you are quite capable of that Miss Bond." I smirked, shaking my head in agreement.

"No, you're right. Not a single word," I looked at her for a few seconds, "Just six...could possibly be lowered to four if need be."

"I don't think so." Harriet challenged. The Doctor snorted, crossing his arms and Sivy then standing and copying him.

"I wouldn't do that." the Doctor warned.

"Six words." I said in a singsong tone.

"Stop it!" Harriet snaps.

"Six." She and I stare at each other for a few seconds, almost challenging the other to look away. However, I simply walk around her and approached Alex. I took his earpiece out and leaned towards him, speaking quietly.

"Don't you think she looks tired?" I walk off, leaving Alex looking rather confused and Harriet rather alarmed. I join the Doctor, Rose, Mickey and Jackie again. We all begin walking down the street.

"What did she say?" Harriet urgently asked.

"Oh, uh-nothing, really-"
"What did she say!?"

"I-nothing! I don't know!"

"Georgie! Georgie, what did you-what was-what did she say?! What did you say, Georgie? Georgie!?" We all ignore her, just continue walking, "I'm sorry."

-DW-

The Doctor and I rifled through the clothes, looking for something that this new him could wear. Some music, from Sivy (he was plugged in because he had to charge), played in the background. He pulls out a soldier outfit and holds it up, then shows me. I laugh and shake my head.

"That won't work for you dear." I say with a smile. He sighs and hangs it back up on the rack. We go back to looking. Though for a while t seems as if we won't find anything, I see a nice brown suit and a pair of converse. I bite my lip and grab the two of them. I grab the Doctor by the shirt and throw him in the dressing room. Though, he soon grabs me and kisses me deeply.

"God I missed you." he whispered once we pulled apart. I smiled widely.

"Well...you can trust me when I say, I'm not going anywhere," I reassure him and he grins, "At least not without you by my side." He kisses me again and then pushes me out, saying that he wanted to surprise me. I smirk, walking out with my hands clasped behind my back. Finally, he comes out giving me a spin.

"That's it." I clarified and he grins, giving me a wink. He runs forward, engulfing me in a tight hug and we spun around.

"Oh! Jackie! They're waiting." I exclaimed and the Doctor sat me back down on the ground with a groan.

"I don't wanna go." He whined and stomped his feet like a child. I chuckled and grabbed his hand, the two of us running out of the TARDIS. Though I stomped, leaving him outside and running back in. I ran into the wardrobe and grabbed a long brown coat to go with his ensemble. I smiled and ran back out to him.

-DW-

The two of us walked in, closing the door behind us. Rose looks up at us and smiles. We smile back and take our place at the table. Rose offers the Doctor a cracker. The two of them grab their ends and Rose screams as the cracker lets out a bang. The Doctor smiles and gives her the party hat.

"Oh, that's yours…"he insists. Rose takes it and smiles at it.

"It's pink! Mum, it should be yours!"

"Pink! Lovely!" the Doctor states with a smile. Jackie takes the hat and puts it on. The Doctor and I look at each other, giving a smile as he goes under the table and grabs my hand. His thumb drawing little designs on it. Rose points to the television.

"Look, it's Harriet Jones!" We all turn to look at the telly and the Doctor takes a pair of thick rimmed, geeky glasses out of his pocket and puts them on. I smile, recognizing the pair.

"Prime Minister, is it true you are no longer fit to be in position?" a man on the screen asked.

"No, Now, can we talk about other things?" she questioned, sounding agitated. The Doctor pulls me up on my feet and we go over, staring at the screen.

"Is it true you're unfit for office?" I snort and the Doctor gives me small smile.

"Look, there is nothing wrong with my health! I don't know where these stories are coming from! And a vote of no confidence…is completely unjustified." Harriet says. The phone rings in the kitchen and Jackie goes to answer it.

"Are you going to resign?"

"On today of all days, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm fine. I look fine, I feel fine." She reassures, though she sounds confused and frustrated.

"It's Beth. She says go and look outside." Jackie informs, coming back in. The Doctor takes his glasses off and we turn back to the others.

"Why?" Rose questions.

"I dunno, just go outside and look. Come on, shift!" We all get up and go outside, though I frown when we get there. Though it looks to be snowing, and all the other people who are outside look happy about it, it's just another reminder of why Harriet shouldn't be in office. The Doctor, Rose, and I stand by each other while Jackie and Mickey stand a bit behind us. The Doctor looks over at me with a sad look and kisses my hand.

"Oh, that's beautiful. What are they, meteors?" Rose questions, looking over at the two of us. I shake my head.

"It's the spaceship breaking up in the atmosphere. This isn't snow, it's ash." I inform her and her happy expression soon dampens.

"Okay, not so beautiful."

"This is a brand new Earth. No denying the existence of aliens now-everyone saw it. Everything's new." The Doctor stated, looking up at the sky.

"And what about you two? What are you gonna do next?" Rose asks, not really looking at the two of us. We look at one another.

"Well…back to the TARDIS, I suppose…" I began.

"Resuming our life together." The Doctor finishes.

"On-on your own?" she questions tentatively.

"Why, don't you wanna come?" the Doctor asks, sounding a bit sad. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, yeah." She answers.

"Do you, though?" the Doctor still asks and I smack him on the back of the head.

"Yeah!" Rose said with a giggle.

"I just thought…'cos we changed…" the Doctor tries to explain, rubbing his head.

"Yeah, I thought, 'cos your two changed…you might not want me anymore." She explains.

"Rose…I'm going to need someone to talk to. Having just a spider and him certainly isn't going to cut it." I stated and with both giggled.

"Oi!"

"You're never going to stay, are you?" Mickey asked, looking at the ground. Rose looks at him.

"There's just so much out there. So much to see…I've got to." Rose tries, although Mickey smiles at her.

"Yeah." Was all he said.

"Well, I reckon you're mad. The three of you. It's like you go looking for trouble." Jackie stated. The Doctor lets go of my hand and rushes up to her.

"Trouble's just the bits in-between," he puts an arm around her and looks up to the sky, "It's all waiting out there, Jackie. It's brand new to me. Besides, Georgie'll look after Rose, and me," he comes back over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder, "All those planets…creatures and horizons…I haven't seen them yet! Not with these eyes. And it is gonna be..fantastic." I turn my head, looking into his eyes.

"So, where're we gonna go first?" I ask with a grin. He grabs my hand and points up to the sky.

"Um…that way. No, hold on…that way." I smile and lean in for a kiss, which he gladly returns.
