'Thanks, Doctor,' Greg hugged the spaceman and smiled afterwards. 'What do I say to Sophie and Xavier's families? I can't say that alien Cheetah People made their relatives turn into one of them and then they died due to an explosion in their spacecraft, can I?'
'Oh, I think you'll think of the right thing to say.'
It was now morning and the sun was back in the sky.
'And Rose,' Greg smiled at his companion so she smiled back and she could feel the sun on her back. 'I wish you the best on your travels. But what's going to happen inside that blue box?'
Scarlett and Annabel thanked the pair and then they walked inside the machine and shut the doors behind them.
The Doctor turned the console monitor on whilst inside and Rose joined him by the console and looked at Greg, Scarlett, Annabel and Nethaniel on the savannah.
'Let's surprise them,' said the Doctor and he flicked a switch.
As the mighty TARDIS began to wheeze and fade away, the four university buffs watched in delight and shock.
'Who were they?' questioned Nethaniel as Greg lead Scarlett, Annabel and Nethaniel back inside the research centre
'I'm not quite sure,' Greg told the truth. 'But they helped us. That's all that matters.'
Rose knocked on her mother's door and so Jackie Tyler answered it and hugged her.
'How was South Africa then?' Jackie said, wearing a zebra dress and beige boots. She also had tights on. 'I imagine you went after your disappearing act three hours ago.'
'We found out what happened to those students,' admitted Rose and she sat down in the chair opposite her mother and the Doctor sat down with her. 'I'll tell you about it once I get a cup of tea.'
Jackie sighed and giggled a little afterwards and she walked into the kitchen and the Doctor looked at Rose and smiled so she did too.
