Chapter 5
Christmas invasion part 2
It was Christmas morning… yet… it didn't feel like it. I had the most restless night I tried to get some sleep but I couldn't get my mind to rest, so I went back to Jackie's living room and sat on the couch near the TV, didn't really help lastly I just sat next to the doctors bed, I got so tired I ended up sleeping on the floor. I woke up with a pillow under my head and a blanket on top of me. I got up said a quiet good morning to the doctor and went into the kitchen on the way there I saw the mirror and it looked like hell. My eyes were red and my hair was a haystack. I had my breakfast and got changed, when I was ready I went to see rose only to see that she, Mickey and Rachel were standing at the front door.
"Sandra?" rose asked worried
"He won't listen! He's just walking, he won't stop walking!" she stated frantically then turns back to him
"There's this sort of... light, thing. Jason? Stop it!"
Rose and me take a few cautious steps forward, followed by Mickey and Rachel.
"Right now!" Sandra shouts after her husband
We all look over the balcony there on the ground below, there were dozens of people hypnotised by the same blue light.
The hypnotised people walked to any high-rise building and position themselves on the very edge of the roofs. You could see loved ones that are desperately trying to hold them back and trying to make them listen.
"Jason, I'm talking to you! Just stop!" Sandra pleaded with him
Me, Rose, Mickey and Rachel came to the edge of the roof too and looking around. We saw that when the hypnotised people reach the edge, they just stood and waited, as though they were waiting for a signal.
"What do we do?" Rachel asks us
"Nothing. There's no-one to save us. Not anymore." rose says sadly and the water works start off again from my eyes sighlently down my cheeks.
We got back to the flat and started to watch the telly only to find Harriet Jones sits at a desk, broadcasting a speech on national television.
"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?" she asks some one of camera and then she waits for a reply before continuing
"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."
Jackie turns to look at Mickey and Rachel and then Rose and me. We don't not look back at her, but she looks as though she is fighting back tears as mine had not stopped since I got of the roof this morning
"I don't know what to do. But if you can hear me, Doctor…" Harriet continues to plead on the telly and Rose turns away from it no longer having strength to look at her.
"If anyone knows the Doctor, if anyone can find him... the situation has never been more desperate."
Me, Rose and Rachel walk to the Doctor's room, silent tears running down our cheeks.
"Help us. Please, Doctor. Help us." Harriet continues in the back ground
Me and rose lent on against the doorframes and Rachel stood in the middle, watching the Doctor's lifeless from. Rose was now sobbing, taking great gulping breaths, the tears flooding down her cheeks. Aunt Jackie comes over and takes her arm. As Rose turns to her, me and Rachel comfort each other both for completely different reasons from rose.
"He's gone. The Doctor's gone. He's left me, mum. He's left me, mum…" rose said to Jackie her voice choked with tears.
Me and Rachel sat down next to the bed still silently crying and still in each others arms quietly whispering "sorry, im sorry" over and over again.
Rose then sobs even harder. And aunt Jackie places a kiss on her forehead and hugs her tighter her and Rose cries onto her shoulder. She then pull her over to me and Rachel and pulls us up and also hugs us.
"It's all right... I'm sorry…" she told us gently, soothingly just like a mother would do, and that's what she was to us a mother.
At that moment all the windows smashed showering the floor with glass. Suddenly The ground shakes violently shocking us out of our crying lags.
Mickey had walked outside the flats and was treading on the broken glass as it was everywhere and looks up at the sky. Everywhere else, people do the same. We had also joined Mickey and stared upwards. As we watch a huge spaceship floats into view over London, obscuring the sun. I looked around and there were People everywhere gaze up at it, open-mouthed. It was hovering right over central London. I saw Rose stares up at it for a few more seconds, then runs back into the flat me and Rachel also follow.
We follow Rose into the Doctor's bedroom.
"Mickey, we're gonna carry him." Rose states throwing the duvet off the Doctor
"Mum, Ashley, Rachel - get your stuff, and get some food. We're going." rose tells use and Rachel goes to get ready but I stop Rachel and whisper to her really quietly
"don't forget the tea!" she nods and goes off to the kitchen.
"Well, where to?" Mickey asks curiously
"The TARDIS. It's the only safe place on Earth." she tells us firmly and then turns to me
"the others they will be alright yer?"
"yer, there with unit right now, and I wont be surprised if they were the ones to tell them about the translator program there using." I explain to her and she nods
"ok, help me with him" I nod and start to help
"What're we gonna do in there?" aunt Jackie asks
"Hide." rose says
"Is that it?" Jackie says surprised
"Mum - look in the sky. There's a great, big, alien invasion and - I don't know what to do, alright? 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."
Jackie leaves the room to help Rachel pack up. Me and Rose heaves the Doctor up, taking his shoulders. Mickey takes his legs.
"Oh - lift him." rose tells Mickey and me
"as I said before I'll say it again, for someone this skinny he is heavy!" rose and Mickey cracked a small smile at that and I felt a little proud to make my cuz a little happy in this dreary time.
Me, Rose and Mickey carry the Doctor out of the front door and along to the stairs. Jackie and Rachel follow them, aunt Jackie is struggling with several shopping bags. She drops one and tries to pick it up again. Rachel only having a few picks it up for her and speeds of after them.
"Mum, will you just leave that stuff and give us a hand?" rose says getting annoyed at how heavy the doctor is.
"It's food! You said we need f-" Jackie try's
"Just leave it!" rose demands
"but don't forget the tea Rachel! I need it!" rose gives me a withering look and I just shrug.
"im thirsty" she just rolls her eyes and me and we continue on towards the tardis.
Me, Rose and Mickey carry the Doctor towards the TARDIS and Jackie and Rachel following us, still carrying the shopping bags. Jackie drops one. We carry him through the doors and were starting to pant slightly with the effort with Rachel following us through the doors.
"No chance you could fly this thing?" Mickey asked rose
"Not anymore, no." says rose disappointedly
"Well, you did it before…"Mickey states
"that was a fun day" I tell them
"well more fun than the usual one" Rachel adds
"I know, but it's sort of been... wiped out of my head, like it's forbidden." rose tells us
We place the Doctor down on the floor.
"Try that again and I think the universe rips in half." rose states
"Ah, better not, then" Mickey says quickly
"wouldn't want that would we" I say
"Maybe not." rose replies
"So, what do we do? Just sit here?" Mickey asks us
"That's as good as it gets." Rose says frustrated
"great" I say sarcastically
"Right, here we go. Nice cup of tea." Aunt Jackie said holding a thermal flask
"Hmm, the solution to everything…" rose moans
"ha! Ya never know it might be" rose just looks at me and I go sit on the pilot seat.
"Now, stop your moaning. I'll get the rest of the food."
Jackie leaves the TARDIS. I silently ask if Rachel wants to stay here or go with aunt Jackie, and Rachel just shakes her head. Rose leans against the console and looks down at the Doctor.
"Tea. Like we're having a picnic while the world comes to an end"
"Very British." me and Mickey joke
Rose does not answer and Mickey looks at the TARDIS computer screen.
"How does this thing work? 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 asks her
"I dunno, it sort of tunes itself." rose snapped at him still feeling annoyed
She pressed a few buttons on the screen
"sheesh! Calm down rose, and its not really wise to press buttons that you don't know anything about." I tell her a little worried and she gives me a look that says 'leave it'
I just put up my hands I surrender and stay sitting down. And listen to the bleeping sound together with them that the tardis computer is making
"Maybe it's a distress signal." Mickey concludes
"Fat lot of good that's gonna do."
"Are you gonna be a misery all the time?" Rachel asks her
"Yes." rose reply's sulkily
"You should look at it from our point of view - stuck in here with your mum's cooking."
"Where is she?" rose asks looking around
Mickey shrugs, me and Rose jumps to our feet.
"I'd better go and give her a hand. It might start raining missiles out there." she tells use heading towards the door
"Tell her anything from a tin, that's fine." Mickey replies
"Why don't you tell her yourself?" rose teases him
"I'm not that brave." he tell her the matter of fact
Rose paused with her hand on the door handle
"Oh, I don't know…"
She smiles at him and opens the door. Mickey smiles back.
As soon as she steps foot outside the door we hear her scream.
Mickey looks around.
"Rose?" he asks us worriedly
He makes to follow her and we follow behind him, dropping the thermal flask of tea on the grilling next to the Doctor's head. It starts to leak.
"Get off! Get off me!" I heard rose shout and Mickey runs out of the TARDIS doors and stars around at their surroundings with amazement. I saw Bethany, Daniel, and Louise standing slightly scared next to the priminister.
"The door! Close the door!" rose shouts and as I was still inside with Rachel I shut it before anything could happen.
Mickey dashes to the door to slams it shut and he is grabbed by a Sycorax. Rose and Mickey both shout out.
The Doctor is inside the TARDIS with us still lifeless on the floor. The tea drips from the flask and through the grilling. It drips onto the machinery below the console, causing it to steam. We sat down next to him.
"now we just wait, and I know she will be alright cause were not there to ruin anything I even think why did we come through the tardis blue door. Yes its my very favourite TV show and the only reason I watch TV. And the rest o the time I read and even then its doctor who fan fic. But we just get in the way here, they even said to NOT fall in love or it will be harder to leave from there. How am I to live 10 years in this universe without falling in love?" I rant one third to Rachel one third to the doctor and one third to myself.
"eh, well get through it alright, the main thing is to not fall for the doctor or jack harkness then ya will be ok." Rachel reassured me
"that's easy the doctor well he's like a big brother, and jack well that's the next door after this. So well see and t the moment just a big brother, its more Owen Harper im worried about." I tell her sincerely.
Inside the TARDIS, the smoke caused by the dripping tea rises from beneath the grilling and surrounds the Doctor's head, making its way into his airways. He takes a deep breath in his sleep, opens his mouth and more of the vortex escapes.
" yay now get to meet him properly" Rachel says in a voice that makes her sound like a 5 year old, I look at the weirdly
"that.. Is creepy" I told her.
Then we hear the doctor groan and we rush to help him up.
"there ya go, up ya get now lets go do some magic." Rachel tells him and I look at her
"again with the creepiness what's with you today?" she just keeps quiet with a strange smile on her face and then it comes to me and I make an 'oh' expression and she nods. The doctor is now looking at us with a slight smile then I turn to look at him, and he just sighs and puts his hands on my shoulder's and I had to look down.
"I heard what you said and if you need a big brother to guide you through this universe then I will be glad to do that, but right now as that big brother…" he puts a finger under my chin and lifts it up so that im looking up at him as he is 2 heads taller than me.
"… don't go taking all that blame on yourself, it wasn't your fault that you have this knowledge and you are scared to change something in case it will go wrong, I wont blame you for anything and as you said you only know some of the adventures and mainly the major ones. Now come on lets go kick some alien backsides… and im NEVER saying that again!" he smiled at me and put out his hand for me and I giggled and then said
"13 actually" he looked at me questionly so I continued "there's normally 13-16 episodes in a series and this is the first episode of series 2" me and Rachel grinned at each other and laughed.
The doctor strode over to the doors and opened them fully to make his entrance dramatic
"Did you miss me?" he asked everyone with a grin
Rose smiled in delight. And the Sycorax Leader roars in fury and lashes his whip at the Doctor, who might I say impressively simply catches the end and pulls it away from him and discards it.
"You could have someone's eye out with that!" he said completely seriously
The Sycorax Leader roars again tried to attack the Doctor with his staff, but the Doctor again snatches it off him and snaps it over his knee. And chucks the broken pieces on the floor.
"You just can't get the staff. Now, you, just wait. I'm busy." he said not really trying to be funny, by this time as they all were watching him me and Rachel managed to get over to Rose and the others.
The Sycorax Leader stares at him incredulously as The Doctor points at him warningly, then goes over to Mickey and the others.
"Mickey! Hello!" he says and then to the others
"Bethany! Daniel! Louise! Blimmy! You really are working for UNIT" then turns to Harriet. "And Harriet Jones MP for Flydale North! Blimey, it's like 'This Is Your Life'!"
to me, Rose and Rachel, beaming-
"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 looks at all 3 of us and seriously, lowering his tone asks
"Now... first thing's first... be honest. How do I look?" he asks rose
"Um... Different." she replies
"Good different or bad different?" he now asks Rachel
"Err…Just... Different." she tells him not really shore on how to answer
He now looks at me and asks deadly serious
"Am I... ginger?" he asks me
I look to his hair and decide to say what rose would of said
"No, you're just sort of brown."
"Aww, I wanted to be ginger. I've never been ginger." He wined turning away put out
But then turns back and points at rose 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." He ponders and I giggle slightly at this and he just grins at me.
"I'm sorry - who is this?" Harriet Jones finally asks
"I'm the Doctor." he replies to her
"He's the Doctor." me, rose and Rachel said together and then grinned
"But what happened to my Doctor? Or is it a title that's just passed on?" Harriet asks not quite believing it.
"I'm him. I'm literally him. Same man, new face - well, new everything." the doctor said walking towards her.
"But you can't be." she said denying it
"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." the doctor told her.
"Oh, my God." she exclaimed
"Did you win the election?" He asked bending down slightly
"Landslide majority." She told him smiling and rather pleased
"If I might interrupt!" the Sycoraxic leader said impatiently
we all span around, having seemed to have forgotten him.
"Yes! Sorry! Hello, big fella!" he said with a smile
"Who exactly are you?" he asked his patience wearing thin
"Well. That's the question." He answred with a fixed grin
"I demand to know who you are!" the Sycorax leader demanded his patience finally popping.
"I DON'T KNOW!" He said imitating the Sycorax's rough voice and then he relaxes
"See, there's the thing. I'm the Doctor, but beyond that, I- I just don't know. I literally do not know who I am. It's all untested"
He starts to walks around, addressing everyone but
"Am I funny?" looks at me and I smile
"Am I sarcastic?"
then looks at Rose
"Sexy?"
winks cheekily at her making her smiles shyly and I giggled at that
"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."
Then he notices the big red button.
"And how am I gonna react when I see this?" he asks the Sycorax leader pointing up at the button with an insane smile
"A great big threatening button." he runs up the stairs, laughing and I now think its more funny in real life that the telly.
"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?"
He bends down and pulls open a small door in order to see the controls underneath the button. He notices the red liquid inside.
"And what've we got here? Blood?"
he dips his finger in it and tastes it and I stick out my tough at the 'yuck!'
"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 starts positively delighted some times I don't understand this man
"Blood control! Oh! I haven't seen blood control for years! You're controlling all the A Positives!"
Me and my group see The Sycorax's grimace falter slightly.
"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." and He whacks the button hard.
"No!" Harriet and rose cry out.
"You killed them!" Alex cried out
"What do you think, big fella? Are they dead?" The doctor asked the Sycorax leader
"We allow them to live." he replied to the doctor
"Allow? You've no choice! 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 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 explained to us
"Blood control was just one form of conquest. I can summon the armada and take this world by force." the Sycorax leader said confidently
"Well, yeah, you could, yeah, you could do that - of course you could. But why? Look at these people." he gestures at us the humans and started speaking passionately about us.
"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…" he stops to pause and think and I think to my self at the same time 'that's the lion king doctor, ugh'
"Sorry, that's 'The Lion King'. But the point still stands. Leave them alone!" he demanded them.
"Or what?" the leader challenged him"
"Or…" He grabs a sword from one of the Sycorax guarding Rose and the others and 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 Sycorax burst out laughing again.
"Oh, that struck a chord. Am I right that the sanctified rules of combat still apply?"
The Sycorax leader started to come down the steps and unsheathing his sword and states.
"You stand as this world's champion."
"Thank-you. I've no idea who I am, but you just summed me up." he said while shrugging off his dressing gown and then he tosses it to Rose, who catches it.
"So - you accept my challenge? Or are you just a cranak pel casacree salvak?"
The Sycorax Leader hisses. They both kneel by their swords. I wince and think 'ya dulling the blade!'
"For the planet?" the leader asks
"For the planet." doctor agrees
They stand up and face each other, holding their swords at the ready. They then run at each other and begin to fighting. May I tell you that he was pretty good and I must ask him were he learnt it from I know I was doing fencing at the boarding school as I am a year older than Louise. After a few seconds, the Doctor is thrown aside, and the Sycorax Leader laughs. The Doctor, however, straightens himself up and they begin to fight again. The Sycorax Leader swings his sword at the Doctor.
Even tho I knew what happens I still couldn't help shout out "Look out!" together with rose.
"Oh, yeah, that helped. Wouldn't have thought of that otherwise, thanks." the doctor says sarcastically
They begin to fight again, me, Rose and the others watching them, terrified. The Doctor leads the fight up the stairs.
"Bit of fresh air?" he asks rhetorically
He hits a button and a door opens, leading to a platform on the outside of the spaceship.
They continue their fight. Me, Rose, Mickey, Harriet Jones, Alex, the others and a few of the Sycorax follow them. The swash-buckling continues. The Sycorax Leader manages to catch the Doctor slightly on his nose, and he groans. Rose begins to run forward, but the Doctor raises a hand to stop her as I grab her backwards.
"Stay back! Invalidate the challenge and he wins the planet."
He wipes his nose, and again he and the Sycorax Leader run towards each other, clashing swords. They both grimace with the effort, and the Doctor is knocked backwards to the ground. I in fright cover my face with my hands. The Sycorax Leader taking advantage slashes at the Doctor's wrist, succeeding in chopping his hand off, up to the elbow. It falls off the side of the spaceship, sword and all. The Doctor watches it drop, and looks back at the Sycorax Leader, looking rather stunned and annoyed.
"You cut my hand off." the doctor stated shocked and I managed to take my hands away from my face
"YAH! Sycorax!" the Sycorax cries triumphantly
"And now I know what sort of man I am. I'm lucky." the doctor said getting to his feet
" 'Cos 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."
He holds up his stump of an arm, and before the eyes of the everyone, it grows right back.
"Witchcraft." the leader accuses him
"Time Lord." the doctor told him
Then Rose quickly takes out one of the Sycorax's swords out of its sheath. And tosses it towards him
"Doctor!" me and rose shout
The Doctor turns and she tosses it to him. He catches it by the handle and spins it around.
"Oh, so I'm still the Doctor, then?" he asks her knowing that I was always fine with it
"No arguments from me!" she replied to him smiling.
"Wanna know the best bit? This new hand…" he asked turning back to the Sycorax Leader
"It's a fightin' hand!" he said in his best Texan accent
The Doctor runs at the Sycorax Leader, and the fight commences once more. They clash swords for a few more moments, then the Doctor jabs him hard in stomach with the handle of the sword. The I wince together with everyone else, and the Sycorax Leader groans. The Doctor does the same twice more, causing the Sycorax Leader to fall to the ground. The Doctor points his sword at his throat.
"I win." the doctor told him
"Then kill me." the leader said while having difficulty speaking
"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 demanded
"Yes." the leader replied
The most angry and serious as we have yet seen him, jabbed the sword closer)
"Swear on the blood of your species."
"I swear." the leader swore in a laboured voice
"There we are, then! Thanks for that! Cheers, big fella!" the doctor said lightly
He jabs the sword into the ground. And I wince 'ya blunting the blade man!' I thought but never said any thing but Rachel did pat me on the back when she saw my wince.
"Bravo!" Harriet Jones said clapping
"That says it all. Bravo!" she told him, me and her rushing forward with his dressing gown.
"Yeah! Not bad for a man in his jim-jams!" he said as Rose puts the dressing gown back on the Doctor.
"Very Arthur Dent. Now, there was a nice man." and I just had to add my thoughts
"hitchhikers guide to the universe only saw the first episode… aw well" I smiled and he grinned at me.
"Hold on, what have I got in here?" the doctor said as he put his hands in his pockets of the gown and he takes a Satsuma out of his pocket. Me and Rose giggles.
"A Satsuma. Ah, that friend of your mothers - he does like his snacks doesn't he? But doesn't that just sum up Christmas?" he told us
We begin to walk back to the door. 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?"
"I love Satsuma's me, then it's the banana" I told him smiling but it faded when this happened…
Behind us, I hear the Sycorax Leader gets to his feet. He picks up his sword, roaring, ready to charge. Without even turning around, the Doctor lobs the Satsuma at a switch on the side of the ship, causing the ground beneath the Sycorax Leader to open. He tumbles to Earth, screaming. The Doctor's smile has faded from his face.
"No second chances. I'm that sort of a man." the doctor said gravely
We entered the main part of the ship and The Doctor stands in front of the TARDIS with Rose, me and the others. The Doctor addresses the remaining Sycorax.
"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 its riches - its people - its potential. When you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this: It - is - defended."
The TARDIS, the Doctor, Rose, me, Harriet Jones, Mickey and Alex and the others are all teleported away.
We all materialise. And I recognise I as the street round the corner from hone. I smile an then it fades remembering what happens.
"Where are we?" rose asks Mickey
"We're just off Bloxom Road. We're just round the corner, we did it!" he says exited
He laughs and jumps up and down in glee. The Doctor holds his hand out as the spaceships engines start up.
"Wait a minute... wait a minute…" he tells them
The ship takes flight, back to the skies. The Doctor grins.
"Go on, my son! Oh, yeah!" Mickey shouts gleefully
"Yeah! Don't come back!" Rose shouts while jumping onto Mickey's back
"It is defended!" Mickey declared
They laugh happily, and Rose jumps off his back and hugs him. She then runs up to a very surprised Alex, and throws her arms around him as well. Then goes and hugs me and Rachel The Doctor and Harriet Jones face each other. She raises her arms, grinning.
"My Doctor." Harriet declares
"Prime Minister." the doctor says happily and then they hug.
"Absolutely the same man." Harriet says happily
The Doctor smiles. Then they both turn to look up at they sky.
"Are there many more out there?" she asks worriedly
"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." he tells her, then looks at her,
"You'd better get used to it."
"Ashley! Rose!" Jackie shouts attracting mine and roses attention to her
"Mum!" rose shouts as I shout
"aunt Jackie!"
"Oh! Talking of trouble...!" the doctor says with a sigh
Me and Rose runs up to her mum who has just come down the street and hugs her.
"Oh, my God! You did it, Rose! Oh!"
The Doctor smiles. But it fades a little when he sees that im not smiling. He realises that something Worse is about to happen. Alex's communication device bleeps. Mickey and the others join me, Rose and Jackie.
"You did it too! It was the tea! Fixed his head!" rose told her mum
"That was all I needed - cup o' tea." the doctor declared
"I said so!" me and aunt Jackie said together and I cracked a smile
"Look at him!" rose said smiling happily at us
"Is it him, though? Is it really the Doctor?"
she then notices Harriet Jones
"Oh, my God! It's the bleeding Prime Minister!"
"Come here, you." the doctor told her
He holds out his arms to Jackie, who throws her arms around him. Me, Rose and Mickey and the others join in the group hug.
"Aww...! Are you better?" aunt Jackie asks concerned
"I am, yeah!" he tells her
We all chat happily until Jackie turns to me and rose
"You left me!" she stated unhappily
"I'm sorry!" rose said
"sorry aunt Jackie" I also tell her
"I had all the food!" aunt Jackie tells us
I notice The Doctor turn and gives Harriet Jones a brief smile, which she feebly tries to return. He then sees im not smiling and looking at Harriet, he looks away slightly worried. I then turn to him and said,
"you remember how you said that you'll never hate me if I keep the time line how they were in the TV show even if it kill?" I ask him trying not to cry but he can still hear my voice cracking he nodded gravely "I just hope you stick to your promise." and I turn away
And I waited. The Doctor, Rose, me, Jackie and Mickey and the others 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 just as the five points meet in the middle tears start to pore down my cheeks. The energy shoots up into space and hits the spaceship, destroying it.
"What is that? What's happening?" rose gasps, asking the doctor
Jackie puts her hand over her mouth. And I couldn't stop crying. The Doctor looks unsmilingly from the sky to Harriet Jones. He walks toward her slowly.
"That was murder." the doctor states angrily
"That was defence. It's adapted from alien technology. A ship that fell to Earth ten years ago." Harriet defended wirily
"But they were leaving." Told her still angry
"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 front of me while you were sleeping. In which case - we have to defend ourselves." Harriet defended herself.
Britain's Golden Age. The doctor said disdainfully
It comes with a price." she told him tiredly
"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." he told her harshly
"Those are the people I represent. I did it on their behalf." she told him seriously
"Then I should've stopped you." he told her
"What does that make you, Doctor? Another alien threat?" Harriet asked him
Don't challenge me, Harriet Jones. 'Cos I'm a completely new man. And I have a girl I consider my little sister, completely guilty accusing herself that it was her fault that she didn't tell me and change the timeline just to save them. I could bring down your Government with a single word." the doctor said stepping towards her angrily
"You're the most remarkable man I've ever met. But I don't think you're quite capable of that." she said with a sigh
No, you're right. Not a single word." he looks down at her silently for a few seconds, by now I had calmed down from the grateful words of my big brother
"Just six."
"I don't think so." she stated in disbelieve
"Six words." he repeated again
"Stop it!" Harriet told him
"Six." he told her again
They stare at each other for a few more seconds, a battle of wills. Then the Doctor walks around her and approaches Alex. He takes off his earpiece and speaks to him quietly, so Harriet Jones cannot hear.
But I mime be hind her back when she is looking at him
'Don't you think she looks tired?'
He walks off again, leaving Alex looking rather confused, and Harriet Jones plain alarmed. He joins me, Rose, Jackie and Mickey and the others again, and the four of them walk off down the street. with the doctors arm around my shoulders and mine on his waist hugging me to him, him rubbing circles to calm me down on my shoulder. Harriet Jones rushes up to Alex.
"What did he say?" She asks urgently
"Oh, uh- nothing, really—" Alex says perplexed
"What did he say?" she asks again
"I- nothing! I don't know!" he said tiring to calm her down.
"Doctor! Doctor, what did you- what was- what did he say? What did you say, Doctor? Doctor?" She yelled after the Doctor's retreating back but The Doctor completely ignores her, as do the others. She calms down slightly.
"I'm sorry." I barely hear it but its there and I hug him again now calm from that episode, and realised that it decently is unhealthy to cry so much and I will need a doctor if id do. I smiled up at him and he gave one back. He then went to the tardis to get changed and I told him to try a suite and trench coat and he lighted at me. Men we got back we started on Christmas dinner. Dan got the table from our flat into aunt Jackie's with the help of Mickey and us girls set the table
Me, Mickey, Rachel Rose and Jackie and the are preparing the Christmas Dinner on the double tables the second one taken from my flat next door. As I start to sing Mickey starts to carve the turkey.
When I woke up today and the world seemed a restless place, it could have been that way for me...
Then I wandered around...
And I thought of your face...
That Christmas looking back at me...
I wish today was just like every other day.
Cos today has been the best day...
Everything I ever dreamed. Then I started to walk...
Pretty soon I will run...
Then I'll be running back to you.
'Cos I followed my star, and that's what you are...
I've had a merry time with you.
I wish today was just like every other day.
'Cos today has been the best day, everything I ever dreamed...
I stop singing when The Doctor enters Jackie's flat, shutting the door behind him. Me and Rose looks up. The Doctor stands before us, and we smile. He smiles back.
Rose screams as the Christmas cracker she pulled with the Doctor bangs. The Doctor wins but he gives it to Rose anyway.
Oh, that's yours…" the doctor tells her
Rose takes a pink paper party hat out of the cracker.
It's pink! Ashley, it should be yours!" rose tells me as I have a red one on
Pink! Lovely!" the doctor tells her
She puts the hat on, and the Doctor watches her, smiling. Then Rose points to the television.
"Look, it's Harriet Jones!" rose exclaims
We all turn to look at the television, the Doctor taking a pair of glasses from his pocket.
on television -
"Prime Minister, is it true you are no longer fit to be in position?" a reporter asks
"No. Now, can we talk about other things?" Harriet pleads with them.
The Doctor stands up and putting a pair of thick rimmed, geeky glasses on, looking sternly at the television.
On television -
"Is it true you're unfit for office?" the reporter asks
"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 tells them
The phone rings and Jackie goes into the kitchen to answer it.
On television -
"Are you going to resign?" a reporter asks
"On today of all days, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm fine. I look fine, I feel fine." she said clearly confused and frustrated.
"It's Beth. She says go and look outside." she tells us
The Doctor takes his glasses off and turns back to the others.
"Why?" rose asks
"I dunno, just go outside and look. Come on, shift!" Jackie tells us
They all get up.
"if its snowing it better be real snow or im going to throw up, it doesn't snow in England and when it dose the whole country is on stand-by!" I complained while doing down the stairs
"quite complaining Ashley!" aunt Jackie tells me
"yes aunt Jackie, what ever you say aunt Jackie." I mumble but the doctor heard and gave me a grin and I smiled.
There are lots of others outside too, as it appears to be snowing. They laugh in delight. It looks as though there are meteors in the sky. Me, The Doctor, Rose and Rachel stand beside each other, Jackie and Mickey and the others a short way behind them.
"Oh, that's beautiful. What are they, meteors?" rose asks in awe.
"It's the spaceship breaking up in the atmosphere. This isn't snow, it's ash." the doctor tells us and I grimaced
"Okay, not so beautiful."
"nope, sickening"
"This is a brand new planet Earth. No denying the existence of aliens now - everyone saw it. Everything's new."
"And what about you? What are you gonna do next?" I ask him avoiding his eyes
"Well... back to the TARDIS... same old life."
"On- on your own?" rose asks tentatively and me and Rachel look at him
"Why, don't you wanna come?" the doctor asks looking at up three
"Well, yeah." all 3 of us reply
"Do you, though?" he now asks rose
"Yeah!" rose tells him seriously
"I just thought... 'cos I changed…" the doctor told her
"Yeah, I... I thought, 'cos you changed... you might not want me anymore." rose told him
"Oh, I'd love you to come! And you two" he states happily and sincerely
"really" me and Rachel perk up
"defiantly" the doctor grins at me
"Okay!" rose declares
We laugh, beaming at each other.
"You're never gonna stay, are you?" Mickey asks rose while staring at the ground
Me, The Doctor , Rachel and Rose both look at him. Mickey raises his eyes.
"There's just so much out there. So much to see... I've got to." rose tells him
Mickey smiles, understanding but still not happy. I give him a hug and he smiles at me
"Yeah." he agrees
"Well, I reckon you're mad. The lot of you. It's like you go looking for trouble." Jackie tells us
Trouble's just the bits in-between the doctor tells her while rushing up to her
He puts an arm around aunt Jackie and looks up at the sky
"It's all waiting out there, Jackie. It's brand new to me."
Rose smiles.
"All those planets... creatures and horizons... I haven't seem them yet! Not with these eyes…"
he stands beside me and Rose while Rachel stood next to me
"And it is gonna be... Fantastic."
Me and Rose smile at the use of his old catchphrase and he grins back. He holds his hand out to me and her and I hold mine out to Rachel, I take his as she takes mine.
"That hand of yours still gives me the creeps." she pointing at it, smiling
The Doctor grins and wiggles his fingers persistently. She takes his hand and they look up at they sky for a few moments. Rose steps closer to him and brushes the snow off his arm.
"So, where're we gonna go first?" rose asks and me and Rachel lean in to know
"Um... that way." the doctor points deliberately at a point in the night sky but changes his mind.
"No, hold on... that way." He points a smidgen to the right of his first point. Rose points in the same direction. And me and Rachel look in that direction.
"That way?" rose asks
"Hmm?" the doctor asked conformingly while looking at us and we nod.
"Yeah. That way." we say together softly
We smile at each other for a few seconds and then gaze up at the night-sky, hand in hand.
