A/N okay so we are getting to the part where I actually have songs put off to the side (does a little happy dance) so updates really should start to speed up now :)

Chapter song: Alice by Avril Lavigne

disclaimer: Doctor Who is still out of my reach, and the songs are not mine either


(The Doctor run onto the stageThe Doctor stops appearing to seal an exit shut while Rose runs to the gate that lies just past the TARDIS. The end is secured by padlocked gates.)

Rose: Open the gate! Use that tube thing. Come on!

Doctor: Sonic screwdriver.

Rose: Use it!

Doctor: Nah. Tell you what, let's go in here.

(The Doctor unlocks the TARDIS and goes inside while the Auton hammers on the metal door.)

Rose: You can't hide inside a wooden box. It's going to get us! Doctor!

(Rose tries the gate again then runs inside the TARDIS. She stops, takes one look and runs outside again. A siren is wailing in the distance. She runs around the TARDIS then runs inside as stage hands come out and change the scenery so that they look like they are standing in the TARDIS.)

Rose: It's going to follow us!

Doctor: The assembled hoards of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and believe me, they've tried. Now, shut up a minute.

Doctor: You see, the arm was too simple, but the head's perfect. I can use it to trace the signal back to the original source. Right. Where do you want to start?

Rose: Er, the inside's bigger than the outside?

Doctor: Yes.

Rose: It's alien.

Doctor: Yeah.

Rose: Are you alien?

Doctor: Yes. Is that all right?

Rose: Yeah.

Doctor: It's called the TARDIS, this thing. S. That's Time And Relative Dimension In Space.

(Rose looks around her with wide eyes taking in the TARDIS, music stars up and Rose starts forward.)

Rose:Trippin' out
Spinnin' around

(Rose spins taking in the TARDIS)

ROSE: I'm underground, I fell down
Yeah, I fell down

(she pauses running a hand through her hair looking panicked)

ROSE: I'm freakin' out
So where am I now?
Upside down

(Rose suddenly cracks a grin)

ROSE: And I can't stop it now
It can't stop me now,
Ohhh

(she moves forward reaching out a hand to the console, before spinning and looking up at the ceiling high above,)

ROSE: I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it!
I, I won't cry

(The Doctor looks smug as he leans on the strut by the console. Rose walks around the console brushing her hand across the controls reverently as she looks around in awe)

ROSE: I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
(turning to the Doctor) Is this real?
Is it pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end

(Rose runs to the railing and looks over, before darting back to the console, and spinning while looking up during the next part)

ROSE: I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I'll just turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me!
I, I won't cry

(Rose slows and looks around like she suddenly realizes this isn't a dream, and looks at Mickey's auton head, and starts to move forward)

ROSE: I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me!
I, and I won't cry

(Rose reaches the auton Mickey head and bursts into tears.)

Doctor: That's okay. Culture shock. Happens to the best of us.

Rose: Did they kill him? Mickey? Did they kill Mickey? Is he dead?

Doctor: Oh. I didn't think of that.

Rose: He's my boyfriend. You pulled off his head. They copied him and you didn't even think? And now you're just going to let him melt?

Doctor: Melt?

(The plastic head is melting on the console, where it is attached by cables.)

Doctor: Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

(The Doctor sets the TARDIS in motion.)

Rose: What're you doing?

Doctor: Following the signal. It's fading. Wait a minute, I've got it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Almost there. Almost there. Here we go!

(The TARDIS lands and the Doctor runs for the door.)

Rose: You can't go out there. It's not safe.
