The TARDIS landed. The Doctor popped his head out and stepped out of the TARDIS. "Here we are then, London. Earth. The Solar System. We did it. Jackie. Rose. Mickey. Blimey! No, no, no, no, hold on. 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. Hold on, shush, shush, shush, shush. Oh, I know! Merry Christmas!" The Doctor said. Jennifer stepped out. She saw The Doctor passed out.
"What happened?" Jennifer asked. "I don't know, he just passed out," Rose said. "Who is he? Where's The Doctor?" Mickey asked. "That's him, right in front of you. That's The Doctor," Jennifer said. "What do you mean, that's the Doctor? Doctor who?" Jackie asked.
Jennifer was sitting on the bed The Doctor was laying on. She looked at him. Jackie come in with a stethoscope. "Here we go. Tina the cleaner's got this lodger, a medical student, and she was fast asleep, so I just took it. Though I still say we should take him to hospital," Jackie said. "We can't. They'd lock him up. They'd dissect him. One bottle of his blood could change the future of the human race," Jennifer said. Jackie leave the room.
Jennifer put on the stethoscope and listened to both sides of his chest. She smiled as both of his hearts were working. She took off the stethoscope. She stood up. She leaned in and gave The Doctor a gentle kiss and left the room.
Jennifer went into the kitchen and looked through the fridge. "How can he go changing his face? Is that a different face or is he a different person?" Jackie asked. "I wouldn't know," Jennifer said. "Mom, we should give her some space. She's probably heartbroken right now," Rose said. "It's not that I'm heartbroken. The thing is I thought I knew him. I thought me and him were. And then he goes and does this. I keep forgetting he's not human. The big question is where'd you get a pair of men's pyjamas from?" Jennifer asked.
"Howard's been staying over," Jackie said. "Howard from the market?" Jennifer asked. She looked at Rose and she nodded. "How long's that been going on?" Jennifer asked. "A month or so. First of all, he starts delivering to the door and I thought, that's a odd. Next thing you know, it's a bag of oranges," Jackie said. "Is that Harriet Jones?" Jennifer asked as she went to the TV with Rose. "Why's she on the TV?" Jennifer asked. "She's Prime Minister now," Rose said. "I'm eighteen quid a week better off. They're calling it Britain's Golden Age. I keep on saying my Jennifer has met her," Jackie said. "Actually stopped World War Three with her," Jennifer said.
... ...
Jennifer was walking with Mickey and Rose in the streets. "So what do you need? Twenty quid?" Mickey asked. "Don't bother Mickey. She's my little sister, I'll give her the money," Rose said. "I'm okay. I've got money," Jennifer said. "JJ. Call it a Christmas present from your big sister," Rose said. She dug into her pocket and pulled out money for Jennifer, who kindly took it. "Thanks. I feel all out of sync. You're in the TARDIS for a while and it's like your completely out of line with reality. I forgot it was Christmas," Jennifer said.
"That's fascinating, because I love hearing all about the TARDIS," Mickey said. "Mickey, Shut up. The TARDIS is amazing," Rose said. "Well, hey at least I don't go changing my face," Mickey said. "What if he's dying?" Jennifer asked. "Seriously, Mickey," Rose said. "No, no. It's okay," Jennifer said. "JJ, just let it be Christmas. He'll be fine. Spend some quality time with me and Mickey," Rose said. Jennifer smiled. "Okay. I promise," Jennifer said. Rose and Mickey smiled. Rose wrapped her arm around Jennifer's shoulder. "Good. So, what're we going to get for mom?" Rose asked and Jennifer shrugged.
Jennifer looked behind and noticed the band that was playing, following them. When she looked at them, they stopped playing. One trombone spat out fire. Jennifer grabbed Mickey's and Rose's hands. They hid. "Are they after us?" Rose asked. "I think," Jennifer said.
A tuba was being used as a gun against the three. Jennifer, Rose and Mickey ran. The tuba blast hit a tree which fell on the one who was holding the tuba. The three kept running. "What's going on? What've we done? Why are they after us?" Mickey asked. Rose noticed a taxi. "Taxi!" Rose called. It stopped for them and they got in.
"They're after The Doctor," Jennifer said. "I can't even go shopping with you. We get attacked by a brass band," Mickey said. "Hey, don't go blaming her! It's not her fault," Rose snapped. "Sorry," Mickey said. Jennifer took out her phone and called Jackie.
"Mom is on the phone with her friend," Jennifer said, frustrated. "Who were those Santa things?" Mickey asked. "I don't know. 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," Jennifer said. The taxi dropped them off at the apartment.
They ran inside. "Mom, get off the phone," Jennifer said. "It's only Bev," Jackie said. Rose grabbed the phone. "Bev? Yeah. Look, this conversation will have to wait. Sorry," Rose said and hung up. "It's not safe. We've got to get out. Where can we go?" Jennifer asked. "My mate Stan, he'll put us up," Mickey said. "That's only two streets away," Jennifer said. "What about cousin Mo?" Rose suggested. "Yeah. Where's she living now?" Jennifer asked. "Peak District," Jackie replied. "Okay then, we'll go to cousin Mo's," Jennifer said.
"No, it's Christmas Eve. We're not going anywhere," Jackie said. Jennifer looked at the tree. "Mom. Where did you get that tree?" Jennifer asked. "I thought it was you and Rose," Katy said. "How can it be us?" Jennifer asked. "Well, you both went shopping. There was a ring at the door, and there it was," Jackie said. "We didn't buy any trees," Rose said. "Then who was it?" Jackie asked. The tree lit up itself. It started teirling and playing Jinglw bells. "Oh, you're kidding me," Jennifer said. It twirled faster and faster, heading towards Jennifer, Rose, Mickey and Jackie. Jennifer ran to the bedroom.
"What're you doing?" Jackie asked. "We've got to save The Doctor. We can't just leave him," Jennifer said. Jennifer slipped the blanket off of The Doctor. "Please wake up Doctor," Jennifer said. Rose, Mickey and Jackie ran into the room, closing the bedroom door. Jennifer ran over to The Doctor's jacket and grabbed the Sonic Screwdriver. She ran over to The Doctor and placed it in his hand.
The tree crashed into the room. Jennifer leaned over to The Doctor's ear. "Help me," Jennifer said. The Doctor suddenly sat up and pointed the Sonic Screwdriver at the tree. The tree exploded. The Doctor looked at Jennifer. "Remote control. But who's controlling it?" The Doctor asked. He grabbed a robe and put it on. He led the four out of the apartment.
The brass band was there. "Oh great, not them again," Rose said. "What are they?" Mickey asked. "Shush," Jennifer said. The Doctor aimed the Sonic Screwdriver at the band. They backed away and were beamed away. "They've just gone. What kind of rubbish were they? I mean, no offence, but they're not much cop if a Sonic Screwdriver's going to scare them off," Mickey said. "Pilot fish," The Doctor said. "What?" Jennifer asked. "They were just pilot fish," The Doctor said. The Doctor stepped back in pain. The four grabbed him. "What's wrong?" Jennifer asked. "You woke me up too soon. I'm still regenerating. I'm bursting with energy," The Doctor said. He breathed out the golden energy.
"You see? The pilot fish could smell it a million miles away. So they eliminate the defence, that's you lot, and they carry me off. They could run their batteries on me for a couple of ow!" The Doctor said. The Doctor had another jolt of pain. "My head! I'm having a neuron implosion. I need," The Doctor said. "What do you need?" Jackie asked. "I need," The Doctor said.
"Say it. Tell me, tell me, tell me," Jackie said. "I need," The Doctor said. "Painkillers?" Jackie asked. "I need," The Doctor said. "Do you need aspirin?" Jackie asked. "I need," The Doctor said. "Codeine? Paracetamol? Oh, I don't know, Pepto-Bismol?" Jackie asked. "I need," The Doctor said. "Liquid paraffin. Vitamin C? Vitamin D? Vitamin E?" Jackie asked. "I need," The Doctor said. "Is it food? Something simple. Bowl of soup. A nice bowl of soup? Soup and a sandwich? Soup and a little ham sandwich?" Jackie asked. "I need you to shut up," The Doctor said.
"Oh, he hasn't changed that much, has he?" Jackie said. The Doctor had another jolt of pain. "We haven't got much time. If there's pilot fish, then. Why's there an apple in my dressing gown?" The Doctor asked. "Oh, that's Howard. Sorry," Jackie said. "He keeps apples in his dressing gown?" The Doctor asked. "He gets hungry," Jackie said. "What, he gets hungry in his sleep?" The Doctor asked. "Sometimes," Jackie said. The Doctor had a jolt of pain again. "Argh! Brain collapsing," The Doctor said. He grabbed onto Jennifer and looked at her. "The pilot fish. The pilot fish mean that something, something, something is coming," The Doctor said. He passed out again.
Jennifer put The Doctor back into bed. She grabbed a wet cloth and started dabbing his forehead. Mickey walked in with his laptop. He looked at Jennifer and walked into the living room. Jennifer listened to The Doctor's hearts. Only one was beating. She got off the bed and kissed The Doctor on his forehead. She walked into the living room. "Any change?" Rose asked. "He's worse," Jennifer said. Jackie gave Jennifer a cup of tea. Jennifer looked into the cup, not bothering to listen to the TV.
"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 said. "Like a shark," Jennifer said. "Great big sharks. So, what The Doctor means is, we had them, now we get that," Mickey said. "Something is coming. How close?" Jennifer asked. "There's no way of telling, but the pilot fish don't swim far from their daddy," Mickey said. "So, it's close?" Jennifer said. "Funny sort of rocks," Jackie said. Jennifer looked at the TV. "That's not rocks," Jennifer said. 'This image is being transmitted via mission control, coming live from the depths of space on Christmas morning'. The TV showed a red-eyed ugly alien with a head like a goat's skull. It growled at the screen.
... ...
Jennifer was sitting on the couch. "JJ. Come take a look," Mickey said. Jennifer ran over to Mickey. "I've got access to the military. They're tracking a spaceship. It's big, it's fast, and it's coming this way," Mickey said. "Coming for what, though? The Doctor?" Jennifer asked. "I don't know. Maybe it's coming for all of us," Mickey said. An image of four aliens appeared on the computer screen. They started talking but were not understandable. "Have you seen them before?" Mickey asked. "No. I don't understand them. The TARDIS translates alien languages inside my head, all the time, wherever I am," Jennifer said. "So, why isn't it doing it now?" Mickey asked. "I don't know. Must be the Doctor. Like he's part of the circuit, and he's, he's broken," Jennifer said.
Jennifer walked into the bedroom. Jackie was sitting and had her head on the bed. She was sleeping. Jennifer was looking at The Doctor. Rose walked beside her. "The Doctor wouldn't do this. The old Doctor, the proper Doctor, he'd wake up. He'd save us," Jennifer said. "You really love him, don't you JJ?" Rose asked. Jennifer looked at her sister with tears in her eyes and Rose hugged her.
...
It was morning. Jennifer stepped out of the apartment. "Sandra?" Jennifer called. "He won't listen. He's just walking. He won't stop walking! There's this sort of light thing. Jason? Stop it right now! Please, Jason, just stop," Sandra said. Jennifer looked off the balcony and noticed a lot of people walking. Rose stepped out and walked up to Jennifer. "What's going on," Rose asked. "I don't know. Come on," Jennifer said. The sisters followed all the people to the roof. Everyone lined up against the edge. "What do we do?" Rose asked. "Nothing. No one is her to save us," Jennifer said.
Jennifer, Rose, Mickey and Jackie watched Harriet on the TV. 'Ladies and gentlemen, if I may take a moment during this terrible time. It's hardly the Queen's speech. I'm afraid that's been cancelled. Did we ask about the royal family? 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, if you're out there, we need you. I don't know what to do. If you can hear me, Doctor. If anyone knows the Doctor, if anyone can find him, the situation has never been more desperate. Help us. Please, Doctor. Help us. God help us.'
Jennifer walked to the bedroom. She sat on the bed and looked at The Doctor. She burst into tears and her head fell onto The Doctor. Jackie walked in the bedroom. She wrapped her arms around Jennifer. Jennifer looked at her mom. "He's gone. The Doctor's gone. He's left me, mom. He's left me, mom," Jennifer said. "It's all right," Jackie said as she hugged her younger daughter. "I'm sorry," Jackie said softly.
Suddenly, there was a loud shattering of glass. Jennifer and Jackie got up and ran outside with Rose and Mickey. They looked up at the building and noticed all the shattered windows and glass. The people were still lined up and a space ship flew by.
Jennifer ran to the bedroom. "We've got to carry him. Who wants to help?" Jennifer asked. "Me. Where are we carrying him?" Rose asked. "The TARDIS. It's the only safe place on Earth," Jennifer said. "What're we going to do in there?" Jackie asked. "We're going to hide," Jennifer said. "Is that it?" Jackie asked. "Mom, look in the sky. There's a great, big, alien invasion and I don't know what to do, all right? I've travelled with him, and I've seen all that stuff, but when I'm stuck at home, I'm useless. Now, all we can do is run and hide, and I'm sorry. Now, move. Oh, lift him up," Jennifer said. Rose helped Jennifer lift up The Doctor. Rose and Jennifer began to carry The Doctor out and to the TARDIS while Mickey was helping Jackie with the food.
They made it to the TARDIS. Jennifer opened the door. Jennifer and Rose carried The Doctor in. "Can you fly it?" Rose asked. "Not anymore," Jennifer said. "Well, you did it before," Mickey said. "I know, but it's sort of been wiped out of my head, like it's forbidden," Jennifer said. Rose and Jennifer put The Doctor down. "So, what do we do?" Rose asked. "Pretty much just sit here I guess," Jennifer said. "How about a cup of tea?" Jackie asked. "Mmm, the solution to everything," Rose said.
"Now, stop your moaning. I'll get the rest of the food," Jackie said. She left. Jennifer looked down at The Doctor. "Tea. Like we're having a picnic while the world comes to an end. Very British. How does this thing work? If it picks up TV, maybe we could see what's going on out there. Maybe we've surrendered. What do you do to it?" Mickey asked. There was an odd pattern on the screen. "Maybe it's a distress signal," Mickey said. "A lot of good that's going to do," Jennifer said. "JJ, try to lighten up," Rose said. "I can't," Jennifer said. "Let's look at this from my point of view. We're stuck in here with your mom's cooking," Mickey said. "Where is she?" Jennifer asked. "I don't know. Maybe we should go help her," Rose suggested. "Good idea," Jennifer said.
Jennifer went over to the door and opened it. She stepped out and grabbed by the Sycorax from the TV. "Get off! Get off me!" Jennifer said. Mickey and Rose ran out of the TARDIS. "The door! Close the door!" Jennifer said. Rose closed the door just in time. "Jennifer. Jennifer! I've got you. My Lord. Oh, my precious thing. The Doctor, is he with you?" Harriet asked. "No. We're on our own," Jennifer said sadly. The Sycorax spoke. "The yellow girl. She has the clever blue box. Therefore, she speaks for your planet," The man, Alex, translated. "No she's wont," Harriet said. The Sycorax spoke. "Then she will die first," Alex translated.
"No, Leave her alone!" Rose said. "Don't touch her!" Mickey said. "Leave her alone," Harriet said. Harriet, Rose and Mickey were held back as the leader walked up to Jennifer and spoke. "We are the Sycorax. If you will not speak for your planet," Alex translated. "Then your world will be gutted and your people enslaved," The Sycorax said. "Then your world will be gutted and- Hold on, that's English," Alex said. "You're talking English," Jennifer said. "I would never dirty my tongue with your primitive bile," The Sycorax said. "That's English. Can you hear English?" Jennifer asked. She turned her head and everyone nodded.
"I speak only Sycoraxic!" The Sycorax said. "If I can hear English, then it's being translated. Which means," Jennifer said. Jennifer and everyone turned to look at the TARDIS and The Doctor opened the TARDIS doors. "Did you miss me?" The Doctor asked. The Sycorax cracked his whip. The Doctor caught it and tugged it out of it's hand. "You could have someone's eye out with that," The Doctor said. "How dare!" The Sycorax said.
The Sycorax raised it's club. The Doctor got it and pulled it out of the Sycorax's hand. The Doctor broke it in half with his leg. "You just can't get the staff. Now, you, just wait. I'm busy. Mickey, hello! Rose, nice to see you again! And Harriet Jones MP for Flydale North. Blimey, it's like This Is Your Life. 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. Now, first thing's first. Be honest, how do I look?" The Doctor asked. "Um, different," Jennifer said. "Good different or bad different?" The Doctor asked. "Just different," Jennifer said.
"Am I . . . Ginger?" The Doctor asked. "No, you're just brown," Jennifer said. "I wanted to be ginger. I've never been ginger. And you, Jennifer 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," The Doctor said. "I'm sorry. Who is this?" Harriet asked. "I'm The Doctor," The Doctor said. "He's The Doctor," Jennifer said. "But what happened to my Doctor? Or is it a title that's just passed on?" Harriet asked. "I'm him. I'm literally him. Same man, new face. Well, new everything," The Doctor said. "But you can't be," Harriet said. "Harriet Jones, we were trapped in Downing Street and the one thing that scared you wasn't the aliens, it wasn't the war, it was the thought of your mother being on her own," The Doctor said.
"Oh, my God," Harriet said. "Did you win the election?" The Doctor asked with a smile. "Landslide majority," Harriet said with a smile. "If I might interrupt," The Sycorax said. "Yes, sorry. Hello, big fellow," The Doctor said. "Who exactly are you?" The Sycorax asked. "Well, that's the question," The Doctor said. "I demand to know who you are!" The Sycorax said. "I don't know! See, there's the thing. I'm The Doctor, but beyond that, I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested. Am I funny? Am I sarcastic? Sexy?" The Doctor said. He winked at Jennifer. She hide her smile.
"Right old misery? Life and soul? Right handed? Left handed? A gambler? A fighter? A coward? A traitor? A liar? A nervous wreck? I mean, judging by the evidence, I've certainly got a gob. And how am I going to react when I see this, a great big threatening button. A great big threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances, am I right? Let me guess. It's some sort of control matrix, hmm? Hold on, what's feeding it?" The Doctor asked.
The Doctor walked up to the button. He pulled the base out from the pillar that was under the button. "And what've we got here? Blood? Yeah, definitely blood. Human blood. A Positive, with just a dash of iron. Ah, but that means blood control. Blood control! Oh, I haven't seen blood control for years. You're controlling all the A Positives. Which leaves us with a great big stinking problem. Because 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, ever be pressed, then I just want to do this," The Doctor said. He pressed the button. "No!" Jennifer and Harriet shouted.
"You killed them!" Alex said. "What do you think, big fellow? Are they dead?" The Doctor asked. "We allow them to live," The Sycorax said. "Allow? You've no choice. I mean, that's all blood control is. A cheap bit of voodoo. Scares the pants off you, but that's as far as it goes. It's like hypnosis. You can hypnotise someone to walk like a chicken or sing like Elvis. You can't hypnotise them to death. Survival instinct's too strong," The Doctor said. "Blood control was just one form of conquest. I can summon the armada and take this world by force," The Sycorax said.
"Well, yeah, you could, yeah, you could do that, of course you could. But why? Look at these people. These 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. More to do than. No, hold on. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!" The Doctor said. "Or what?" The Sycorax asked. "Or," The Doctor said. He pulled out a sword and ran to the front of the TARDIS. "I challenge you," The Doctor said. All the Sycorax laughed.
"Oh, that struck a chord. Am I right that the sanctified rules of combat still apply?" The Doctor asked. "You stand as this world's champion," The Sycorax said. "Thank you. I've no idea who I am, but you just summed me up," The Doctor said. He took of the robe he was wearing and threw it to Jennifer. "So, you accept my challenge? Or are you just a cranak pel casacree salvak?" The Doctor asked. The leader accepted the challenge. "For the planet?" The Sycorax asked. "For the planet," The Doctor said.
They clashed their swords. The Doctor stumbled back. The Doctor took a step forward and began swinging his sword. The Sycorax was about to hit The Doctor. "Look out!" Jennifer said. "Oh, yeah, that helps. Wouldn't have thought of that otherwise, thanks," The Doctor said. The Sycorax hit The Doctor in the stomach with his elbow. The Doctor went for the tunnel. "Bit of fresh air," The Doctor said. He was followed outside. The Doctor and The Sycorax continued swinging their swords.
The Doctor was hit in the nose. Jennifer took a step forward. "Stay back! Invalidate the challenge and he wins the planet," The Doctor said. The two clashed swords. The Sycorax knovked down The Doctor. The Sycorax took a swing and The Doctor's sword and hand fell off the edge. "You cut my hand off," The Doctor said. "Ya! Sycorax!" The Sycorax said. "And now I know what sort of man I am. I'm lucky. Because quite by chance 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," The Doctor said. His hand grew back.
"Witchcraft," The Sycorax said. "Time Lord," The Doctor said. "Doctor!" Jennifer yelled. She threw The Doctor another sword. He caught it. "Oh, so I'm still the Doctor, then?" The Doctor said with a grin. "You'll always be The Doctor," Jennifer said with smirk. "Want to know the best bit? This new hand? It's a fighting hand!" The Doctor said.
They began fighting again. The Doctor disarmed the Sycorax. He hit the Sycorax in the abdomen twice. The Sycorax fell. He was hanging over the edge. "I win," The Doctor said. "Then kill me," The Sycorax said. "I'll spare your life if you'll take this Champion's command. Leave this planet, and never return. What do you say?" The Doctor asked. "Yes," The Sycorax said. "Swear on the blood of your species," The Doctor said. "I swear," The Sycorax said. "There we are, then. Thanks for that. Cheers, big fellow," The Doctor said. He stuck the sword into the ground.
"Bravo!" Harriet said. "That says it all," Jennifer said with a smile. She ran to The Doctor. She helped The Doctor with his robe. "Ah, not bad for a man in his jim-jams. Very Arthur Dent. Now, there was a nice man. Hold on, what have I got in here? A satsuma. Ah, that friend of your mothers. He does like his snacks doesn't he? But doesn't that just sum up Christmas? 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?" The Doctor asked. The Sycorax got up and charged at The Doctor. He threw the satsuma at a button. The wing of the ship tucked in and the Sycorax fell to his death. "No second chances. I'm that sort of a man," The Doctor said.
Everyone went back inside. "By the ancient rites of combat, I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when go you back to the stars and tell others of this planet, when you tell them of it's riches, it's people, it's potential. When you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this. It is defended," The Doctor said. The Doctor, Jennifer, Rose, Mickey, Harriet, Alex and the TARDIS were beamed away.
"Where are we?" Jennifer asked. "We're just off Bloxom Road. We're just round the corner, we did it!" Mickey said. "Wait a minute, wait a minute," The Doctor said. The spaceship flew away. "Go on, my son!" Mickey said. Jennifer jumped onto Mickey's back and he laughed. "Yeah! Don't come back!" Jennifer said. "It is defended!" Mickey said. Jennifer got off and hugged Mickey. She pulled away and Rose ran to her. The sisters hugged. "We did it!" Rose said. Rose let go of Jennifer. Jennifer ran to Alex and hugged him. She let go of him and looked at The Doctor. Him and Harriet walked up to each other.
"My Doctor," Harriet said. "Prime Minister," The Doctor said. They hugged each other. "Absolutely the same man. Are there many more out there?" Harriet asked. "Oh, not just Sycorax. 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," The Doctor said.
"Jennifer! Rose!" Jackie called. "Mom," Jennifer and Rose said. They ran over to Jackie. They hugged. "You did it! Oh!" Jackie said. "You did it too! It was the tea. Fixed his head," Jennifer said. "That was all I needed, cup of tea," The Doctor said. "I said so. Is it him, though? Is it really the Doctor? Oh, my God, it's the bleeding Prime Minister!" Jackie said. The Doctor grinned. "Come here, you," The Doctor said. Everyone was in a group hug. The hug was interrupted when green beams were shot into the sky. There was a big explosion in the sky.
"What is that?" Jennifer asked. "That was murder," The Doctor said. "That was defence. It's adapted from alien technology. A ship that fell to Earth ten years ago," Harriet said. "But they were leaving," The Doctor said. "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. Mister Llewellyn and the Major, they were murdered. They died right in front of me while you were sleeping. In which case we have to defend ourselves," Harriet said.
"Britain's Golden Age," The Doctor said. "It comes with a price," Harriet said. "I gave them the wrong 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 said. "Those are the people I represent. I did it on their behalf," Harriet said. "Then I should have stopped you," The Doctor said. "What does that make you, Doctor? Another alien threat?" Harriet asked. "Don't challenge me, Harriet Jones, because I'm a completely new man. I could bring down your Government with a single word," The Doctor said.
"You're the most remarkable man I've ever met, but I don't think you're quite capable of that," Harriet said. "No, you're right. Not a single word, just six," The Doctor said. "I don't think so," Harriet said. "Six words," The Doctor said. "Stop it!" Harriet demanded. "Six," The Doctor said. The Doctor walked over to Alex. "Don't you think she looks tired?" The Doctor whispered into Alex's ear. The Doctor, Jennifer, Mickey, Rose and Jackie left. "Doctor! Doctor, what did you? What was that? What did he say? What did you say, Doctor? Doctor! I'm sorry," Harriet said.
... ...
Jennifer, Rose, Mickey and Jackie were back at the apartment eating Christmas dinner, laughing. The Doctor walked in wearing a brown pinstriped suit and a long brown coat. The Doctor looked at Jennifer. She smiled and he smiled back. He sat beside Jennifer. She focused her attention to the TV. "Look, it's Harriet Jones," Jennifer said. The Doctor got up and walked over to the TV. He put on a pair of glasses. '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 said. The phone rang and Jackie answered it. "It's Beth. She says go and look outside," Jackie said.
Everyone went outside and it was snowing. "It's beautiful. What are those?" Jennifer asked. "It's the spaceship breaking up in the atmosphere. This isn't snow, it's ash," The Doctor said. "Maybe not so beautiful," Jennifer said. "This is a brand new planet Earth. No denying the existence of aliens now. Everyone saw it. Everything's new," The Doctor said. "What about you? What are you going to do?" Jennifer asked. "Well, back to the TARDIS. Same old life," The Doctor said. "On your own?" Jennifer asked. "Why, don't you want to come?" The Doctor asked. "Yeah," Jennifer said. "I just thought, because I changed," The Doctor said. "Well, I thought, because you changed you might not want me anymore," Jennifer said. "Oh, I'd love you to come," The Doctor said with a smile. "Okay," Jennifer said with a smile.
"You're never going to stay, are you?" Mickey asked. "There's just so much out there. A lot to see. I have to," Jennifer said softly. "Yeah," Mickey said. "Good for you Mickey. Let them have loads of fun," Rose said and she smiled. Jennifer smiled at her sister. "I reckon you're mad, the pair of you. It's like you go looking for trouble," Jackie said. "Trouble's just the bits in-between. It's all waiting out there, Jackie, and it's brand new to me. All those planets, and creatures and horizons. I haven't seem them yet! Not with these eyes. And it is going to be fantastic," The Doctor said. The Doctor smiled and reached out his hand for Jennifer.
"That hand gives me the creeps," Jennifer said with a smirk. She grabbed his hand. "Where are we going to go first?" Jennifer asked. He pointed up on the stars. "Um, that way. No, hold on. That way," The Doctor said. "That way? Works with me," Jennifer said with a smile. The Doctor looked at Jennifer and smiled. His feelings for her were stronger than ever.
