Happy new years guys hope you injoy please review after you finsh reading thank you! Oh and I don't own Doctor who.
My apartment was to far off to walk since we both missed the bus. So rose said I could crash at her a flat . I usually sleep at her flat a lot so I had a change of clothes there and Jim jams.
Once we got there the first thing I did was change and take a shower. While the hot water washed me up all I could think about was the blue box and the man who called himself the doctor.
He looked to be somewhere in his late 20's but I could see in his eyes he was much older then that. Those ocean blue eyes held so much wisdom. But hidden behind them it also held a ton of guilt and pain. I wonder what must of happened to him that made him feel the same way I feel sometimes when I look at my fob watch. I know something though I'm gonna try my hardest to free those eyes from that pain. He may be a stranger but no one should feel that way...not even me.
I quickly washed off, got out and dried off. I combed out my straight brunette hair and made sure it was dried.(The Jim jams are on my profile)
Then finally i put on my favorite mickey mouse Jim jams. I smiled down at my jams these always annoyed mickey because i would always referred him to mickey mouse. Know that my hair was dried i put on mickey mouse ears headband to make it extra annoying if he were to swing by. I walked out with a smile and heading to the living where rose was sitting and guess who sitting next to her. Mickey! My smile went from just a smile to a smiling that reached to both ears. "Mickey Mouse your here!" I exclaimed while throwing up my arms and walking to the pair. Mickey's head shot up and he saw my outfit and rolled his eyes and fell back on the couch. "How many times do i have to tell you my name is not mickey mouse crystal!" Mickey said and I grinned seeing that i successfully annoyed him. "Oh hush you'll always be mickey mouse to me." I said while sitting on a spar chair. Rose smiled while rolling her eyes at me and they went back to there conversation. I turned my attention to the telly to see what was on.
"The whole of central London has been closed off as police investigate the fire." Said the reporter blasting from the telly while i bit my numb still pretty confused as to what actually happened.
"I know, it's on the telly, it's everywhere," Jackie blabbered on the phone. "They're both lucky to be alive!" She went over to us and handed Rose a cup of tea and me a cup of hot chocolate. Hey, I was tired, I liked chocolate when I'm was tired.
"Honestly, it's aged them, skin like an old Bible," she continued to say into the phone. "Walking in now, you'd think I was their daughter." Rose and I looked to each other and we both rolled our eyes at Jackie's antics. "Oh and here's himself," she then muttered as he spotted mickey sitting on the couch with rose.
"I've been phoning your mobile, You could've been dead!" he exclaimed continuing with there conversation. "It's on the news and everything!"
"Yes Mickey Mouse, we can clearly see that." I said, pretty annoyed, actually.
He ignored my sarcasm. "I can't believe that your shop went up." He leaned over and hugged her.
"Oh look mickey mouse and Minnie mouse together again" I said with a dreamy sigh. "
Mickey rolled his eyes and leaned over to give me a hug too. I yelped and scrambled away while he laugh at me.
"We're all right, honestly, we're fine," Rose said after her boyfriend stopped laughing. "Don't make a huge fuss over it."
"Well, what happened?" he asked, settling in beside Rose again.
"We don't know," I answered for the both of us. The Doctor guy said not to tell anybody, which is what I was doing.
"What was it though, what caused it?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes again. "Mickey, we were outside when the explosion happened, how the hell are we supposed to know?" I snapped, the situation getting to me. I flashed him an apologetic look afterwards and he just gave a small shrug in response, silently saying it was alright. I might pretend to not like mickey but there was no need to snap like that.
Jackie walked back in just as I put my cup on the little coffee table, now holding the phone away from her ear to tell us, "It's Debbie on the end – she knows a man on The Mirror 500 quid for an interview."
"What is there to be interviewed for? We were outside an explosion,God," I said. annoyed and tired.
But Rose seemed to have a different thought process, "Oh that's brilliant! Give it here."
Jackie handed her the phone, but Rose just ended the call. I grinned to myself. Yes! That's my best friend, ladies and gentlemen.
"Well, you two have got to find some way of making money," she told us. "Your job's kaput, and I'm not bailing you out." The phone rang again, and she quickly answered it. "Beth. They're alive! I've told them! Sue for compensation. They were within seconds of death!" She spoke into the phone as she walked out of the room.
I sunk further into the chair with a sigh. "Jackie is totally blowing this out of proportion, and I'm not even her daughter I know she thinks of me as one but still!"
Mickey looked into Rose's cup. "What're you drinking? Tea! No, no, no, that's no good. That's no good. And you?" He said, looking into my cup. "Hot chocolate? Even worse! You two are in shock. You need something stronger." He grabbed our hands.
"We're fine, really," Rose said in a reassuring voice.
Mickey ignored us, "Now, come on. You guys deserve a proper drink. We're going down to the pub."
"What happened to drinking never being the answer?" I asked jokingly. I taking my hand from his grasp. "Besides I'd rather do what I do best and just lay around here, thanks." With a 'so there' expression, I grabbed a blanket from the side of the couch and threw it over me, "You two go on. Wouldn't want to spoil the couple's fun."
Shaking his head, Mickey looked to Rose. "All right then. You and me. My treat."
Rose smiled knowingly. "Is there a match on?"
Mickey looked at her in shock. "No! I'm just thinking about you, babe," he reassured as he sat next to her; which i scoffed at.
"There's a match on, ain't there?" she asked, still knowingly.
"Way to be concerned for your girlfriend there, Mick the mouse," I put in sarcastically.
"Well, that's not the point." Mickey said after a minute. "But we could catch the last five minutes."
"Go on then," she told him. "I'm fine, really. Go. I've got Cry to keep me company." She nodded at me,using my nick name.
"Exactly," I chirped. "I'm great to be around, don't you know?" I winked causing Rose to laugh. I grinned at her, plopping down next to her and throwing an arm around her shoulders while using my other to point to the plastic arm, "Throw that out on your way Mick, will you?"
He nodded, and he and Rose quickly kissed goodbye. He grabbed the arm from the chair, and in a high pitched voice while waving the arm, he said, "Bye-bye Rose! Bye, Crystal!"
Then he pretended that the arm was strangling him, and I nervously chuckled, remembering the dummies running after us.

"The fire then spread throughout the store. 15 firemen are in attendance though it's thought there's very little chance of saving the infrastructure." The man on the television continued on with its report.
Having enough of listening to this, I reached over and change the channel. Rose looked at me in disbelief.
"What?" I asked, noticing the look. "News always bores me. Besides, we already know there was an explosion."
Third person POV...
On his way out of his girlfriend's house, Mickey threw out the plastic arm in a big garbage container, and continued to walk on.
Crystal's POV...
My alarm blared at 7:30 in the morning. Tiredly, I leaned over and pressed the snooze button. I sat up in bed so I could get up and start the day, my tired mind forgetting what happened last night. But I remembered when Jackie's voice called out to me,
"There's no point in getting up, sweetheart. You've got no job to go to."
That was very true. Thank God, I didn't even want to get up anyway. I sank back into my bed. I tried going back to sleep, but since I was already awake, I couldn't, so I got out of bed, and went and sat down at the table as Jackie made me some tea. Rose was awake too, and sitting at the table next to me. I took off my headband before i went to sleep but i still head my jams on.
"There's Finch's," Jackie said as she came out of the kitchen. "You could try them. They've always got jobs." She pointed out.
"Oh great, the Butcher's, that's exactly the place I want to get a new job at," I said sarcastically. Man, I showed so much sarcasm here…not that I hadn't before.
"Well, it might do you two good. That shop was giving you two airs and graces. And I'm not joking about compensation." Jackie stood up. "You two have had genuine shock and trauma. Arianna got 2 000 quid off the council just 'cause the old man behind the desk said she looked Greek!" She said, and moved to leave the room as she added as if she noticed the looks on our faces that we shared, "I know she is Greek, but that's not the point! It was a valid claim." And Jackie was gone.
Still looking at each other, Rose and I rolled our eyes at the same time. The door flap sounded, and we turned our heads into the direction of the sound. We looked to each other again before standing up.
"Mum, you're such a liar. I told you to nail that cat flap down. We're going to get strays!" Rose said as we headed over to the front door.
"I did it weeks back!" Jackie defended herself.
"No, you thought about it." I said as I leaned down.
We saw that nails were in front of the flap, and that there were holes where it was nailed down. Suddenly, there was something that made the flap move, and we jumped. I looked to Rose, and gently moved her back before I leaned in front of the flap and gently moved it outwards. I opened it all the way, and the Doctor's face was in front of me.
Shocked I exclaimed "Hey!"I got up, and quickly unlock the door before I opened it up.
"What're you two doing here?" He asked, obviously taking in Rose behind me.
"Um she lives here and I crashed her for the night because someone blown up my job," I answered with a slit grin, leaning against the door opening.
"Well, what do you do that for?"
"'Cause i did and she does," I told him simply, shrugging my shoulders.
"And we're only at home 'cause as cry said someone blew up our job," Rose added in pointedly.
He took his sonic screw drive out and pressed it. "Must've got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you?"
"Last time I checked I wasn't." I said as he tapped my forehead, then Rose's. while he was tapping roses head i looked down at my jams, they were a little exposing but oh well its not like i was going to leave any time soon.
"No. Boneheads. Bye, then."
The Doctor moved to leave. Oh, he's not getting away that easily. I grabbed his sleeve.
"Oh no you don't, get inside," I told him seriously and not letting him get a word in, I pulled him inside the flat.
"Who is it?" Jackie called out.
Rose and I moved to Jackie's room and I told her, "It's about last night. He's from the Inquiry. Give us about, ten minutes." Rose and I left the room to go to the kitchen.
"They deserve compensation." We hear Jackie say to the Doctor, now that we were standing in front of her doorway.
"Oh, we're talking millions," he said, playing along.
"I'm in my dressing gown," I heard Mum say as I was walking into the living room with Rose. "Uhhhh...Rose get Jackie" I said slowly as i saw were this was going but. It was even worse when he answered,
"Yes, you are."
"There's a strange man in my bedroom," Mum continued.
"Rosseeeeeeeeeee," I called while walking back towards the Doctor and my Jackie's room.
"Yes there is," he answered her oblivious to what was happening.
"Well, anything could happen," she said suggestively. The Doctor gave her a look as if he finally knew was she was implying and said, "No." And quickly walked away towards me. I quietly whispered an apology to him but he just nodded will i guided him to the living room.
I began cleaning the front area as Rose went into the kitchen. "Don't mind the mess, you want a coffee?" rose asked the Doctor as we appeared in to her view. I entered the kitchen too, and began to help her.
"Might as well, thanks, just milk," He answered.
"We should go to the Police, Seriously, the three of us," Rose said as we made the coffee.
"Hmph, that won't last. He's gay, and she's an alien." I heard him mutter to himself. I looked over at him startled and say he was flipping through a magzine.
"We're not going to blame you, even if it was some sort of joke that just went wrong." She kept going. Man, this girl can talk! Why I hadn't I noticed that before? Huh? Guess I wasn't paying that much attention. "It said on the news they found a body."
He looked into a mirror that we had in the room. "Ah. Could've been worse. Look at the ears." He said to himself, tapping away at his ears.
I couldn't help but cough out a laugh which msde him turned to me but I just gave him a wink, which he raised his eyebrows at in I shocked but pleased manor.
"Anyway, if we are going to go to the Police, we want to know what we're saying," Rose said.
I leaned over to look at the Doctor through that window thing that we have. "She sure can talk, can't she?"
He leaned over, placing his arms on the wood of the window thing, and nodded his head. "Yeah, she really can."
"She gets that from her Mum," I said with a laugh as I leaned my head on my hand, meeting the Doctor's eyes. "But Jackie definitely talks way more than she does. Let me tell ya. It truly does go in one ear and out the other with her. True story."
The Doctor looked at me amused. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and he asked, "What's that then? Have you got a cat?"
"No," I answered, going back to helping Rose.
"We did have, but there are these strays, they come in off the estate," Rose added.
As I took some milk out of the fridge, but when he didn't answer so i walk into the room, where the dummies arm was choking the Doctor.
"Oh my God!" I exclaimed loudly.
Rose came into the room with our coffees. She sighed. "You told Mickey to throw that out. You're all the same. Give a man a plastic arm. Anyways, we don't even know your name. Doctor, what was it?"
I looked at her in disbelief. "Rose, he's choking!"
She quickly dismissed me. "No, he isn't."
"Yes, he is! His face is turning blue!" I insisted, as i walked over to him and tried to tug it off but it wouldn't come off.
"No, it's not, Cry."
"Are you color blind? That color is blue!" I exclaimed, pointing to his face. I sighed exasperatingly and went to tug once more time, but he managed to get it off of his neck, and it went flying in the air. Next thing I know, it's plastered itself onto my face!
"Cyrstal!" Rose exclaimed, and she and the Doctor tried to get it off my face.
It was choking me, blocking my nose and mouth. The Doctor pulled so hard on the arm that we crashed into the glass table, making it break into a thousand pieces. I guessed Jackie couldn't hear because she turned her hair dryer on. Talk about bad timing. We kept trying, and I got pushed back onto the couch.
I was barely breathing now, I had to try something so I reached in my bra and took out my sonic screwdriver and got it off my face. Automatically I took a deep breath in, and Rose wrapped her arms around me.
"Are you okay?" she asked concerned.
"I'm fine, my airwaves were blocked, but other than that, I'm fine." I reassured her.
I looked to the Doctor to see that he took the arm from me and it was still moving its fingers, so the Doctor pressed his own screwdriver into its palm, and it died out. I quickly put mines back were I had it before he could see it again. I wasn't ready for him to know about it yet.
"It's all right, I stopped it," he said, reassuring us. "There you go, you see? Harmless." He threw the arm back to me giving me a curious glance.
"Do you think?" I asked annoyed. The thing nearly killed me! Rose took the arm and hit the Doctor with the arm as hard as I could.
"Ow!" he said, rubbing his arm.
"You totally deserved that." She huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. While I shoot the doctor an apologetic glance.
Not saying anything, the Doctor suddenly got up and just left but I wasn't letting him.
Without pausing to check if Rose was following me because I knew that she was, I bolted after him. "Hold on a minute, you can't just go swanning off. We have questions!"
"Yes I can," he said as we went down the flight of stairs. "Here I am, this is me, swanning off. See ya!"
"That arm was moving. It tried to kill my sister!" Rose said.
"10 out of 10 for observation." The Doctor muttered.
"You can't just walk away, that's not fair," I pointed out. "Oh lord its breezy out here." I said regretting not taking a jacket along with me. I just had enough time to stuff some red converses on to my feet before running after him. Well at less my shoes match my jams.
"No, I don't." he said. Then looking over at me seeing that i was still in my slightly revealing jams and said, " Like the jams" and continue to jog down the stairs fast fast.
I smiled as we made it to the ground level, and the Doctor opened the door to go outside.
"All right, then, we'll just go to the Police," Rose told him seriously. "We'll telleveryone."
"Yeah and you said that if we did that, we'd get people killed. So, your choice. Tell us, or we'll start talking." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Is that supposed to sound tough?" he asked.
"Yeah, the arm crossing was supposed to emphasize it," I replied with a slight grin.
"While the arm crossing is a nice touch, it doesn't work," he said.
"Who are you?" Rose asked as we continued to follow him.
"Told you, the Doctor."
"Yeah, but Doctor Who?" I asked, still confused on that part.
"Just the Doctor."
"The Doctor?" Rose asked in disbelief.
"Hello!" he said waving a hand at us.
I chuckled. "Is that supposed to sound impressive?"
"Sort of," he agreed.
"Well it works." I said and to that he had a big grin on his face." But Come on, then, you can tell us." I assured him. "We have seen enough."
"Are you the Police?" Rose asked.
"No! I was just...passing through, I'm a long way from home," he answered.
I felt a pierce in my heart at the thought of the Doctor, eyes so sad and alone. I shrugged it off. "But what have we done wrong? How come those plastic things keep coming after us?"
"Oh, suddenly the entire world revolves around you two," he said sarcastically. "You two were just accidents. You got in the way. That's all."
"Well it did try to kill me," I pointed out.
"It was after me, not you," he said. "Last night, in the shop, I was there, you two blundered in, ruined the whole thing. This morning, I was tracking it down, it was tracking me down. The only reason it fixed on you is 'cause you've met me."
"So what you're saying is, the entire world revolves around you?" I ask smiling.
"Sort of, yeah," he answered.
"You're full of it!" Rose exclaimed.
"Sort of, yeah," he repeated.
"But, all this plastic stuff. Who else knows about it?" Rose asked.
"No one."
"What, you're on your own?" I asked sadly.
"Well, who else is there? I mean, you lot, all you do is eat chips, go to bed, and watch telly," he said.
"Not true! I had a job, and I like to read, and I don't eat chips much i already said i'd rather have a banana any day. So ha!" I said smugly.
"When all the time, underneath you, there's a war going on," he continued, ignoring me.
I reached over and grabbed the plastic arm. "Hey. Start from the beginning. I mean, ifwe're gonna go with the living plastic, and I don't even believe that. But if we do, how did you stop it?"
"The thing controlling it projects life into the arm," he started. "I cut off the signal, dead."
"So that's radio control?" Rose asked.
"Thought control," The Doctor corrected her.
I tried to comprehend it but a sharp pain hit my. I must have had a weird look on my face, 'cause the Doctor asked, "You all right?"
I nodded shaking off the pain. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just my thinking face. So who's controlling it then?"
"Long story," he said vaguely.
"But what's it all for?" I pressed. "I mean, shop window dummies, what's that about? Is someone trying to take over Britain's shops?" I couldn't help but joke.
We all chuckled, and the Doctor nudged me. "No."
"Oh, no," Rose said, grinning at me.
"It's not a price war,"" The Doctor said and we laughed again.
"They want to overthrow the human race and destroy you." He sounded serious now, so we stopped laughing. "Do you believe me?" He asked after a moment.
I nodded. "Sure why not anythings possible," I said as Rose said at the same time, "No."
The Doctor and Rose gave me interesting looks. "Oh come on. Overthrowing the human race seems believable when it comes to a mannequin race ,well unless you brought do for in the mixe."
The Doctor nodded in agreement, and turned to Rose. "But you're still listening."
Rose stopped walking, so I do too, as the Doctor kept walking. "Really though, Doctor, tell us, who are you?"she asked.
He turned around. "Do you know, like we were saying, about the earth revolving?" he asked.
We nodded, and the Doctor walked up to us. "It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning, and you just can't quite believe it, 'cause everything looks like it's standing still." He got really close to me. "I can feel it." He took my hand in his warm grip, causing me to slightly blush. "The turn of the earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at 1,000 miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling 'round the sun at 67,000 miles an hour." I looked up at him in pure amazement because i felt that sometimes as he continued, "And I can feel it. We're falling through space. You and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go..." He stopped abruptly, and dropped my hand. "That's who I am. Now, forget me, Crystal star and Rose Tyler." He leaned over, grabbed the plastic arm, and waved it. "Go home."
He turned and walked away, leaving me and Rose standing there, very confused. After a second, Rose just moved to leave. When she saw that I wasn't following, she grabbed my hand and tugged me along. It only took me a second before I could move my feet.
Then, out of nowhere,We slowly turned around, trying to find the source of the noise. Then I was running..I didn't know what was happening to me it was like i wanted to chase weird things..and i kind of liked it.
I turned to Rose. "Wasn't there a box there?" I asked her.
She looked around and shook her head. "No, there wasn't. Come on Char, let's just go home."
She went away but I stood there, staring where the Blue box once was. When he told us to forget about him, I knew that I couldn't. It wasn't possible. With that thought in mind, I ran as fast I could, running past Rose.
"Oi! Wait for me!"
I heard her call but I continued to run, wanting to get to her apartment as quick as I could.
Well there you go sorry it took so long I was wondering if i should continue but i will as long as i have people reading i will give you guys something to enjoy. Also guys if its not to hard could you give me a review. I almost dropped this story because the slack on reviews. So if you could review that would be simply FANTASTIC!
