"What?" The Doctor exclaimed one more time as he looked at the woman, in a wedding dress, standing right in front of him, in his TARDIS.

"Who are you?" she demanded

"But—"the Doctor stuttered, dumbstruck and Rose hid her smile as she watched him.

"Where am I?" she demanded and the Doctor still didn't understand what was going on."What the hell is this place?" she yelled, raising her voice and the Doctor looked around, then at Rose, as though there would be some explanation, but Rose simply shrugged her shoulders.

"You can't do that, I wasn't... we're in flight! That is- that is physically impossible! How did-?" he stuttered and began to stare at the mysterious bride.

"Tell me where I am. I demand you tell me right now - where am I?" she yelled

"Inside the TARDIS." Rose replied as she thought the Doctor wasn't going to answer.

"The what?"

"It's called the TARDIS." The Doctor replied for Rose.

"That's not even a proper word. You're just saying things." She yelled angrily.

"How did you get in here?"

"Well, obviously, you two have kidnapped me! Who was it? Who's paying you? Is it Nerys? Oh, my God, she's finally got me back. This has got Nerys written all over it."

"Um, Nerys?" Rose asked "Who's that?"

"Your best friend!"

"We don't tend to have friends."

"I was halfway up the aisle! I've been waiting all my life for this. I was just seconds away! And then you- I dunno, you drugged me or something!"

"I haven't done anything!" he insisted.

"We're having the police on you! Me and my husband - as soon as he is my husband - we're gonna sue the living backside off ya!"

"Well, that would be interesting." Rose muttered and watched as the two of them fought.

"I said 'Saint Mary's'. What sort of Martian are you? Where's this?" Donna complained as she exited the TARDIS in to somewhere she had never seen before.

"Something's wrong with her..." The Doctor whispered to Rose as he stroked the TARDIS "It's like she's... recalibrating!"

"Which means?" Rose asked

"She's digesting."

"Digesting what? She's a time machine!"

"What have you eaten?" he whispered to the TARDIS "What's wrong?" he asked and called to Donna. "Donna? You've really gotta think. Is there anything that might've caused this?"he asked, but Donna wasn't listening and pacing around the TARDIS. Anything you might've done? Any sort of alien contacts? I can't let you go wandering off in case you're dangerous. I mean, have you... have you seen lights in the sky? Or... did you touch something? Something- something different? Something strange? Something made out of a sort of metal or... who're you getting married to?" he asked, but Donna didn't reply, and Rose had noticed why.

"Um, Doctor-"

"Are you sure he's human? He's not a bit overweight with a zip around his forehead, is he?" he asked, but again no answer, then he noticed Rose pointing towards the doors.

"I think she's done a runner." She commented and the Doctor ran out of the doors.

"Donna!"

"Donna!" the Doctor yelled, once again as he and Rose watched her drive away.

"Um, Doctor!" Rose yelled, trying to point out the Santa's playing the trumpets, which looked much like the Santa's they had faced the year before. "Doctor!" she yelled, finally getting his attention and pointed at the Santa's, who were now holding the trumpets like weapons, pointing directly at the pair.

"Um, run." The Doctor yelled, grabbing Rose's hand, dragging her away to the TARDIS.

Donna walked out of the TARDIS, which was now partially on fire and looked at her watch 3.30, she'd missed it.

"The funny thing is, for a spaceship, she doesn't really do that much flying. We'd better give her a couple of hours. You all right?" The Doctor asked as he extinguished the TARDIS.

"Did we miss it?" Rose asked softly and watched as Donna nodded her head "well, you can book another date?" she guessed, trying to sound reassuring.

"Course we can."

"Well, you've still got the honeymoon to look forward to, even if it is just a holiday." Rose smiled.

"Yeah, I guess so, wish we had a time machine, then we could go back and get it all right." She sighed and the Doctor and Rose glanced at each other.

"Yeah," they said together and sat on the ledge of the roof.

"But... even if I did, I couldn't go back on someone's personal timeline." He explained, only to get a strange look from Donna and from Rose "Apparently." He added. "With this ring, I thee bio-damp." He said as he placed a bio-damper on Donna's finger.

"God that's cheesy." Rose laughed and he laughed along with her.

"So, come on then. Robot Santa's - what are they for?"

"Ah, your basic robo-scavenger. The Father Christmas stuff is just a disguise. They're trying to blend in. We met them last Christmas."

"Why, what happened then?"

"Well, y'know, there was that giant spaceship? Hovering right over London? Rose asked but Donna just looked blank "I'm guessing you didn't notice?"

"I had a bit of a hangover."

"Right," Rose answered.

"We spent Christmas Day just over there, the Powell Estate. With, with family." He finished as smiled as he had called Jackie and Mickey and Rose family. "didn't we?"

"Yeah, yeah, we did."

"What kind of secretary are ya?" Rose asked as Donna told them her job.

"I'm at HC Clements. It's where I met Lance. I was temping."

"When was this?"

"Six months ago."

"Bloody hell, you move fast." Rose joked.

"Well... he insisted. And he nagged... and he nagged me...And he just wore me down and then finally, I just gave in." She explained.

"What is HC Clements? Never heard of it." Rose commented.

"Oh, security systems, you know... entry codes, ID cards - that sort of thing."

"Keys..." the Doctor mused.

"Keys?" Rose asked "Is that significant?" she asked and the Doctor shrugged.

"Don't know, maybe." He said.

"Come on, it's time to face the consequences. Oh, this is gonna be so shaming. You can do the explaining, Martian-boy." Donna said and looked at the Doctor.

"Yeah. I'm not from Mars." The Doctor sighed and Rose simply laughed.

"You might as well be as far as Donna's concerned." She joked and walked over to the TARDIS, Donna and the Doctor close behind.
