Guen woke up sweating and shaking. She was in her bed but didn't remember how she got there.

Okay what happened last night…? I was reading and then I went asleep…. No there's something missing…. Singing there was singing!!…. A man…. The Doctor…. DOCTOR!!… Oh my gosh! The Doctor was here! Where is he now?… Why am I here?… Let's see… I CAN REMEMBER NOW!!… Before I was here I was in the Tardis with The Doctor… Yea then there was a flash of white light and…. And then I was here! Must have been a transmat beam…. Yes that would account for the light and the pain…. Okay so I've been here with…. NICOLA!… Wow she's like my best friend her…. Weird… Never had a best friend… But was this friendship made by me or non-remembering me?… Confusing… Okay, okay… Now where did those men take The Doctor?

Guen's thoughts were interrupted by a noise and the unlocking of her cell. She walked out and instantly found Nicola. She walked in a very hypnotic way. Guen realized that everyone was so she played along.

"Hey, Nicola, um, how are you?" Guen asked.

"Perfect, oh what an exciting day of work ahead of us!" Nicola responded.

"Work? Oh yes…" Guen said.

"Is something wrong?" Nicola asked.

"Yes… This isn't right! We aren't meant to be here! Don't you remember anything of your life before here?"

"No I've always lived here… I think there's something wrong with you. I'll cal help," Nicola tried to wave a guard over but Guen grabbed her.

"Nicola, look at me! If I remember anything it is that you trust me! Listen to me! Think of your childhood! Where did you grow up?"

"I-I grew up in Reading…. I actually remember! Oh Guen! You're right! I know now!" Nicola hugged Guen, "Thank you!"

"Now we have to get these people out and find The Doctor!" Guen smiled, "Oh good right on time!" Guen pointed to the incoming guards.

"This should be fun!" Nicola smiled.

"Just play along with me!" Guen smiled back, "Yes hello, well obviously we are no longer under your charm so take us to your leader!" she chuckled as she thought of The Doctor.

The guards seized Guen and Nicola and brought them to the door with the inscription above carved in script, The Matron.

"Perfect," Guen smiled as she looked at Nicola. Nicola seemed a little nervous.

Guen smirked as she strode into the office. It was all pink, dark and frilly. On the other side of a long wooden sat The Matron. She wore a pink fluffy coat and her hair in tight curls. Her stern lips forced a smile. She sat holding a cup of tea and two stood warm on her desk.

"Good morning ladies. Care for some tea? Come take a seat," She placed her hand toward the two cups.

"Its fine Nicola," Guen sat down, "That's a no for the tea but thanks for the offer. Now how did we earn the great honour of meeting with you?"

Nicola gave a weak smile toward Guen and sat nervously down. Then she sank into the chair.

"Well my dears, you have peaked my interest and I hope to learn more about you, Miss Lykan. So first who's this man who was with you last night? " The Matron asked.

"You should know. You took him away," Guen responded shortly.

"Yes we did but he evaded further arrest. I was hoping you'd have supplementary information," The Matron bore into Guen's eyes.

"Sorry, know what you're trying to do but it won't work," Guen laughed, "Hypnotism only works a few times at best."

Meanwhile, Nicola was observing the room. She then caught sight of a flash of brown from the dark corner of the room. Then there was a faint high-pitched hum. Guen smiled.

The Doctor stepped out of the shadows holding his sonic screwdriver, "Have I missed the party? Hello Guen and…." The Doctor looked at Nicola.

"Ni-Ni-Nicola…" She stuttered in him awe of him.

"Okay, hi" The Doctor looked over at The Matron, "Now I want to know why you have all these people locked up here?"

They are happy to work. They live to work. They are competent people here," The Matron answered.

"They aren't happy. They are brainwashed to do your bidding!" The Doctor retorted.

"We work together. Together we are one. Work is life. Work is joyous." The Matron said.

"These people are meant to be free. To be as hard working or as lazy as they want. That is how they can be happy. When you work as a slave, how is that living?" The Doctor asked.

"ENOUGH! I've had enough of your radical talk!" The Matron extended her arm and began to run at The Doctor. Guen stepped in front of him and The Matron was inches from her throat. Suddenly Nicola was behind The Matron and poured the hot tea on the Matron. Sparks flew from The Matron's neck, " Wo-Work is… Work is life……. Work is… joy… is…joy...us…"

Guen pushed The Matron over and when she hit the floor she shattered exposing her robotic skeleton.

"She was a robot?!" Nicola asked.

"An android. Different from a robot," The Doctor corrected.

"Oh," Nicola said and Guen chuckled at her.

All three of them walked out of the office. There were swarms of people dazed and confused. They wandered and wondered how they got there.

"Well, Guen, time for the real work!" The Doctor smiled.

"Already on it! Come Nicola, we could use an extra pair of hands!" Guen grabbed Nicola and they headed to the Tardis…


Hope you liked it! Stay tuned for the next chapter and the end of this episode motre to come! Here's a sneak peek:

Guen shouted, "No! Nicola's not back yet!

Meanwhile, Nicola held the lever and the transmatt emitted a white light. Nicola gasped and fliched as she was absorbed into it. A moment later the white light disappeared and Nicola as well as every other prisoner vanished.
