S1 Specials 2: 2012, Ch 2
...
He dreamed of performing with his favorite punk band in the world, Green Day, as an opening act & possible duet performance when they got back to touring. It then turned to Ally breaking up with him because of the video on his phone. He woke up w/ a fright. He grabbed his phone, went to where the video was, emailed it to a secret email address only he knows about & can access on his phone, then deleted it from his phone. He then went to the email site of his secret email address & put the video-containing email in an unsuspecting folder.
He then laid down, relieved, & looked at the clock. It was about 4:00 in the morning. He looked to the TV, since it was still on & saw a random British show was on. He then closed his eyes & went back to sleep.
He woke back up at 7:00 AM in a daze. Since Britain was 5 hours ahead, he got a good 9 hours of sleep, since he got on the plane at 11:00 AM the previous, it took roughly 9 hours to fly to Britain, it was 8:00 PM when he landed, took an hour to get to the hotel, get checked in, & visit the gift shop to buy some souvenirs & some snacks, & finally get to his room. It was a little after 9:00 PM by the time he got there, did what he did, then fell asleep a bit later.
He got up, went to his gift shop bag, & pulled out a bag of gummy bears.
'Eh, not the most healthiest food for breakfast...but I can't risk going out till I get picked up by the BBC limo,' he thought.
Just then, his room phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Moon?"
"Yes?"
"This is BBC, just calling to make sure of the time to send your limo."
"About 9:00, if you don't mind."
"All right, 9:00 sharp," he hung up the phone.
He locked the door's locks, then headed towards the bathroom to shower, bringing a fresh shirt, boxers, & pants from his bag in with him. He showered then got out. He toweled off & looked in the mirror. He realized he didn't have his tooth brush so he opened the door, reached into his bag, & brought it in with his tooth paste. He brushed his teeth then wiped his mouth off with a towel. He got dressed then exited into the main room, with a towel to dry his surfer dude-type hair over his head.
He sat on the bed & looked to see the Doctor Who episode, 'A Christmas Carol,' was on & watched it.
"Man, hope this years' Christmas special is good," he said, anticipating a good story when he got his copy as his partial pay for the gig at BBC.
He watched for the rest of the time until 20 before 9, so he got more ready by putting on socks, his shoes, & his jacket, then just waited another 15 minutes, & headed down to the lobby. Pretty soon, he saw the limo so he headed out to it & got in. It took him to the BBC. He entered the building & got led to a room in front of an audience, all dressed up in Christmas apparel, so he knew it wasn't live. They cheered as he came in. He could see his band set up already. He made his way to the stage & everyone quieted down as they got ready.
"All right, BBC audience. How are you all doing today?" he asked, then everybody cheered again. The director came up & quieted everybody down.
"All right, Austin. That's enough. Save some cheer for the performances," he said. Everyone gave a quick chuckle. "Now, you're going to perform a quick few song set, all right?"
"Sure."
"Then, Matt Smith's gonna out & you're going to introduce the new Christmas Doctor Who special, got it?"
"Matt's gonna be here?" he asked, excited.
"Yes, he'll be here at 45 past, so 10, 20 minutes about, enough time to do your set then introduce the episode for BBC & BBC America that'll be airing on Christmas Day."
"All right, let's get to it, then," he said, then got his guitar, told his band the setlist he was thinking of, set up quick, & started.
"All right, I'm gonna do 2 of my songs, 1 British hit, & one Christmas song, but not in that order, all right?" everyone cheered.
"All right, here we go!"
They started playing 'Can You Feel It'
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
I know it's on when I can't stop myself from watchin' you mo-o-o-ove (Mo-o-o-ove)

(He started clapping to get the crowd to do it, to which they joined in on)
Hey hey

They medley'd into 'Can't Do it Without You' after a few seconds of cheers...
He clapped his hands to the beat, as he was singing & everyone else does too.
When the crowd wants more I bring on the thunder
'Cause you got my back and I'm not going under
You're my point, you're my guard, you're the perfect chord
And I see our names together on every billboard
We're headed for the top
We got it on lock
We'll make 'em say, "hey!"
(He pointed up & everyone said 'hey' too)
'Cause there's no stoppin'
Us when we hit
The same but different
We're never gonna quit
And we'll keep rockin' (Oh)
(He started playing guitar)
There's no way I could make it without ya
Do it without ya, be here without ya
It's no fun when your doin' it solo
With you it's like whoa!
Yeah and I know
I-I-I-I-I-own this dream
'Cause I-I-I-I-I-got you with me
There's no way I could make it without ya
Do it without ya, be here without ya
(He clapped again when beat breaks)
You got the skills and I'm bringing the fire
Your the fuel to my rocket and it's taking us higher
Yeah we got mad flow and we're blowin' it up
All our fans are gonna scream 'cause they can't get enough
We're headed for the top
We got it on lock
We'll make 'em say hey
'Cause there's no stopping
Us when we hit
The same but different,
We're never gonna quit
And we'll keep rocking (Oh)
(He played the guitar again)
There's no way I could make it without ya
Do it without ya, be here without ya
It's no fun when your doin' it solo
With you it's like whoa!

There's no way I could make it without ya
Do it without ya, be here without ya
Whoa
Be here without ya
Whoa
Be here without ya (out ya, out ya)
Be here without ya (out ya, out ya)
They finished to cheers from the audience.
Matt Smith stood off to the side, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed in his Doctor costume, watching as they finish the set.
"All right, now the British song," Austin says in a faux British accent, for comic effect.
They started playing 'For You Blue'.
The guitar started. Others joined in after a few seconds.
Austin: Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it's true
I love you more than ever, girl, I do
I want you in the morning, girl, I love you
I want you at the moment I feel blue
I'm living every moment, girl, for you
Walk, walk, cat, walk
Same old twelve-bar blues
(Short instrumental)
I loved you from the moment I saw you
You looked at me, that's all you had to do
I feel it now, I hope you feel it too
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it's true
I love you more than ever, girl, I do
I'm having the blues
There were cheers all around.
"All right, this is the unveiling of this new Christmas song, 'Christmas Soul.'"
They started playing.
One, two, three, four
I always love this time of year
White snow and reindeer
Heh, yeah
There's something special in the air
Friends and family everywhere
Ooh
When everybody's singing
My heart starts jing-a-lingin'
There's something 'bout those December nights
Today's the day
Let's celebrate
With that Christmas soul
Feel that Christmas soul
We'll have a ball
Let's deck the halls with that Christmas soul
Feel that Christmas Soul
We got that reindeer
Kinda cheer
Santa's flying over here
All the way from the North Pole!
'Cause we got Christmas soul
Yeah, we got Christmas Soul
Uh, yeah!
What (What)
When it get's real cold outside
I'm ma take you on a sleigh ride
Woo!
We'll come and gather 'round the tree
And we'll make some memories
Oh, oh, yeah
When everybody's singing
My heart starts jing-a-lingin'
There's something 'bout those December nights
Today's the day
Let's celebrate with that Christmas Soul
Feel that Christmas Soul
We'll have a ball
Let's deck the halls with that Christmas Soul
Feel that Christmas Soul
We got that reindeer
Kinda cheer
Santa's flying over here
All the way from the North Pole!
'Cause we got Christmas Soul
Just clap your hands
(They did)
We can dance tonight (Come on!)
If you got Christmas spirit
Let it shine bright (Uh-huh)
I said
Just clap your hands
We can dance tonight (Oh!)
If you got Christmas spirit
Let it shine bright
Yeah, yeah
Today's the day
(He was the only one playing his guitar)
Let's celebrate with that Christmas Soul
Feel that Christmas Soul
(The rest started playing again)
We'll have a ball
Let's deck the halls with that Christmas Soul
Feel that Christmas Soul
We got that reindeer
Kinda cheer
Santa's flying over here
All the way from the North Pole!
'Cause we got Christmas Soul
Just feel that, just feel that
Just feel that Christmas Soul (Christmas Soul!)
Just feel that, just feel that
Just feel that Christmas Soul (Yeah, we'll feel that Christmas Soul!)
Just feel that, just feel that
Just feel that Christmas Soul
Oooh
He spoke: Merry Christmas, everybody!
They all cheered. The cameras stopped recording for a break.
Austin went for the snack table during the break. He didn't see Matt. He eyed the food, Matt stood next to him, but he didn't notice. He was in a bit of a trance because of how hungry he was.
"What're you thinking of?" Matt asked.
"Probably an apple. I haven't really eaten much today," he said, not taking his eyes off the food.
"You know, that was the first food I ate on camera," he said, taking one & then took a bite.
Austin looked at him & was instantly surprised.
"Hello, I'm Matt Smith, the Doctor & you're Austin Moon," he said, then shook his hand.
"Well, hello," Austin said, awkwardly.
They let go of the other's hands. Austin grabbed an apple & took a bite. Austin looked at him in amazement.
"Something on your mind?"
"Well, it's just that your The Doctor. Kudos."
"Thanks."
"Austin, 5 minutes," a dude said.
"All right."
They were standing towards the stage, talking.
"Actually, I've got something I wanna say to you about your Doctor vs David's."
"All right."
"I've just noticed that David's is more willing to take risks, you know? Change history, destroy the Daleks, & stuff like that. While yours is more rule-oriented, you know? Like his'll attempt to change time, while yours doesn't."
"Good observation, but there was that in 'A Christmas Carol.'"
"Right, but that was just 1 instance & it wasn't even going to affect the whole human population. The Mars explorers adventure was one where he was going to keep people from dying & might stop people from going further into space than they ever did."
"Right."
"Sorry if there are any bruised feelings, I just wanted to bring that to your attention," he held out his hand.
"No worries, mate," he shook his hand.
"All right."
"Guys, we're starting in 30 seconds."
"All right, let's go see what they want," Matt said.
"Geronimo," Austin said, then they both laughed, while walking out to the stage.
"All right, guys. Matt, we're going to have you be in your TARDIS, we're gonna play the sound effect, then you step out & read the cue cards, maybe throw some friendly banter in there, then the phone's going to ring, & you & Austin will step into the TARDIS, it disappears, then we'll be out."
"All right."
"Wait, is he in character, or is he himself? 'Cause I don't want another Jon Pertwee thing, where it was unknown when he went on Eastenders & it's still unclear years later. Sorry to bring that up, it bugs me."
"Ok, he's himself & he's like the Doctor, going on adventures."
"Ok, I guess."
"Great, Matt, get ready."
"Check," he ran in the TARDIS.
"Ok, it's after the Christmas song, everybody's psyched, the TARDIS materializes, they talk, then disappear in it. Ok? Action."
"Austin & band singing the last few lines of the song, everybody's cheering & going wild," the director said as they were filming. Everyone did as he said. "TARDIS engine sounds. You're looking around, confused. It materializes behind you. Matt steps out. Everyone cheers wildly. Matt steps down & you talk."
"Hey, everybody! Matt Smith showed up!" Austin said as Matt stepped down.
"Yes, I did. I'm here to introduce the new Doctor Who episode, 'The Snowmen,' it's the Christmas special & you're going to love it, at least I hope you do," he ad-libbed & everyone laughed.
"Yeah. I've previewed most of it & it's looking good," Austin said. "Say, Matt."
"Yeah?"
"Do you think I could be the next Doctor?" everyone 'oohed' in excitement.
"I don't know, maybe, but you don't quite have the accent for it."
"Oh, you mean like this?" Austin asked, imitating Matt's accent, getting laughs for the accent.
"Well," Matt said in his American/no accent. "It can't be like this."
"No it can't," still has the accent. "'Cause that's to southern. No offense, but your accent's a bit too southern for my taste." (If you've seen the Buzz Feed video, you know what I mean).
"Yes, well..." he responded, then the phone rang in the TARDIS. They both ran to it. He answered the phone, then looked at Austin, worried. "We're needed elsewhere. Yes, you too," he said & they both opened & ran through the doors of the TARDIS. After a few seconds, Matt came back out through the doorway. "Sorry, got to go, trouble with the Daleks & Cybermen," he closed the door, but quickly opened it again. "Enjoy the new episode!" he said, closing the door as everyone cheered & the TARDIS sound effect played.
The director yelled...
"Cut it, print it. Edit out my talking, the TARDIS materializing in & out, put it on at the end of the performance, put the sound effects in there, & get it to programming to air it before the Doctor Who episode," he said, then thanked both of them & left.
"Hey, thanks man," Austin said as they shook hands.
"You too, nice bashing at my accent, there."
"You too."
"Austin!" a guy yelled, running, & was out of breath when he stopped.
"Whoa! What's going on, man?"
"An act just quit for our celebrity charity show tonight. Would you be able to be in it?"
"A bit last minute, but sure. Send a limo & have the driver call me down when he gets to my hotel tonight & I'll perform."
"Great. Doctor, how about you?"
"Maybe to intro & close it, if I can do that."
"I'll see & have the people get back to you."
"Great," the guy ran off.
"Hey, can I get a picture with you?"
"Sure," Austin pulled out his phone & snapped a picture of him & Matt.
"All right, good. Hey, talk to the people on Doctor Who about me having a cameo, or something."
"I will. See you later."
"Bye," he went to the people who then paid him, gave him a Blu-Ray in a mail envelope of the Christmas special.
He went to the limo & went back to his hotel to await that night in his room.
...
Stay tuned for the Doctor Who crossover & the Christmas special...
PEACE...
