Children cheered and clamored while they watched a young girl swing her fists at a boy who was taunting her.
"Come on, is that all you can do?", "You fight like a girl,", the boy jeered, "You're never getting your mom's bracelet back." The boy had taken the girl's bracelet and used it to tease her.
"Give it back," the girl pleaded as she reached and swung at him, "that's my mom's."
"What's going on here!" a large woman yelled.
The boy put the bracelet in his pocket as the woman stomped towards them. "She hit me and called me names." he tattled.
"Annabel! What do you have to say for yourself?" the woman roared.
"He took my bracelet," Annie cried
"I did not!" he retorted
"Annie, you know better than to fib," the woman said, "Johnny would never take your bracelet. Come on, let's go think about what you did." with that she led Annie toward her office. Annie brushed against Johnny as she passed by.
"Annie, no one will ever adopt you if you keep misbehaving like this. Now I want you to stand in the corner and think about what you did," the woman told her. Annie silently obeyed then fiddled with her mother's bracelet which she took back from Johnny when she brushed past.
"Annie?", "Annie?"
Annie woke up to find K-9 beside her calling her name. "K-9?" she asked wearily, "Wha… What happened? Where's the Doctor?"
"The Zygons placed a nerve gas cannister. The nerve gas rendered you and Master unconscious. I fired a laser beam at them, but it did not affect them. They took Master," K-9 replied.
"Do you know where they took him?" Annie inquired.
"It is logical to assume that they took him to their ship, which has been determined to be located in Lake Apopka."
"Well, if that's where they took the Doctor, that must be where they took Mr. Anderson. Come on K-9. Let's go get your master and Mr. Anderson," Annie went to collect her things as the metallic dog followed. "hmm K-9, do Zygons have any fears or weaknesses?"
"Affirmative. Zygons are known to have an innate fear of fire," Annie got to her car, placed K-9 inside as well, then drove to go rescue Mr. Anderson and the Doctor.
"The Time lord is acquired," said a gruff voice.
"Good work Lieutenant," replied the Zygon commander, "put him in a holding cell."
"Acknowledged," answered the Lieutenant
"With the Time lord confined, we shall have no difficulty in subjugating this planet," the commander soliloquized.
"Uhg, this traffic," Annie said "At this rate, I could get to the lake faster by walking."
"Working on a solution," K-9 buzzed.
A few moments later the traffic signal turned green.
"Finally," Annie huffed, "Now if only we could make this light."
"Affirmative. I sent a signal to the traffic control devices to allow us to pass as we approach."
"Well that is very helpful. Good work, K-9."
The Doctor woke to the sight of a small, earthy room with a greenish light shrouding the walls. The room was a small confinement cell on a Zygon starship.
"So Time lord," said the Zygon commander standing in the center of the room, "It seems you have discovered our operation here."
"So it seems," the Doctor replied as he began to stand up, "May I ask what your operation here is?"
"Since you are confined and unable to interfere, Doctor, I will tell you some of our mission. There are dozens of ships hidden throughout this planet. Each one contains a Zygon crew that will infiltrate powerful corporations run by humans then complot to take over this planet," the commander said proudly.
"I see. World domination. Is that all? And what about the humans? Do you plan on making them your servants?"
"We will greatly reduce the human population to make room for the new Zygon empire."
"Ever thought of living alongside humans, in disguise of course. I don't think humans are quite ready to accept non-terrestrial beings living amongst them."
"Disgraceful! A Zygon should never have to live like those primitives. We are a superior species; we shall have the right to take over this world and make it our own. I would expect you, Doctor, to understand that considering the Time Lords are more advanced than the primitives of this world."
"Commander," a voice interrupted.
"What is it, lieutenant?"
"A primitive has been detected outside the concealed entrance," the lieutenant stated.
"A human outside our hidden entrance does not concern me. After all it will not be able to find the door very easily. At any rate, I have other matters to attend to," with that, the Commander left the cell and locked the Doctor inside.
"Good day to you too," he muttered as he searched his pockets for his sonic screwdriver.
