Hello, random follower and favorite-...rs...Anyways, this one's really long, so excuse mistakes. It will be a couple chapters until the CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! Speaking about that, whoever hasn't seen the 12th Doctor Christmas Special needs to tell me. I am planning on doing that one.


Chapter 11: For Once He Actually Doesn't Know Me

As soon as we reached the TARDIS I ran inside it, along with The Doctor. "What's your name?" He asked

"What? You haven't met me?" I asked with a grin. "Yes!" I looked around "Wait, where's Rose?"

"Rose? Who's Rose?"

"Excuse me, what? 'Who's Rose?' Woah, I'm in uncharted territory."

"Who are you?"

"Oh. Right. I'm Elizabeth Jackson. Everyone calls me Lizzie. Nice for you to meet me even though I've met you before." I sighed. "Blah, blah, blah, I'm all knowing. I know everything. You are The Doctor, Time-Lord, Two hearts. I know loads of stuff about you and your future, except what goes on inside of that head of yours. You warm up to me in the future. So give me a chance now. I'm in a bad mood."

The Doctor stood there, taking in the words that came out faster than I intended. "You know my future?"

"Yeah, I do. Well, most of it. I've been seeing aliens that I didn't even know existed. You've known me since...well, now, apparently. And you'll know me until after, I'm assuming, after face number eleven, not counting the Time-War 'I killed the Time-Lords' Doctor, regenerates. Got it?"

"I think so. You haven't explained who Rose is yet."

"Ugh, you'll find out later. No more questions."

"Which one?"

"Uhh, I forgot the name. Pick one."

The Doctor went around flipping switches, until the tardis shook. Trying to keep my balance, I held on. Soon it stopped.

"Ah, yes! It's this one. Hurry! There's a girl inside, and you need to save her life. There's Autons in the...basement, I think. That's all you need to know. Go alone. I'll be in the TARDIS."


The Doctor and I walked up to the door. He soniced the screws out. Then he moved the flap and Rose opened it.

"What're you doing here?" The Doctor asked

"I live here. Who's she?" She replied

"Well, what do you do that for? That's Lizzie."

"Because I do. I'm only at home because someone blew up my job. Nice to meet you Lizzie."

"I must have got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you? No, bonehead. Bye, then."

"You. Inside. Right now." Rose demanded

"Come on, Doctor." I said, before pulling him into The Tylers' flat.

"Who is it?" Jackie, Rose's mom yelled. She was in her room putting on makeup.

"It's about last night. They're part of the inquiry. Give us ten minutes." Rose replied.

"She deserves compensation." Jackie said. The Doctor walked up to the doorway. I heard a faint conversation between Jackie and Rose.

"So Rose, you know the Doctor, well, ish. But still. You haven't met me. I'm Lizzie Jackson, I travel with the future Doctor, right now he barely knows me."

'Oh, we're talking millions.'

"And how does that work?"

'I'm in my dressing gown.'

"Well, time-travel."

'Yes, you are.'

"Excuse me, what?"

'There's a strange man in my bedroom.'

"Time-travel. It's complicated. You'll find out all you need to know later."

'Yes, there is.'

"Right, so what are you to The Doctor."

'Well, anything could happen.'

"It's...nothing. Not until hundreds more years, I assume. My Doctor is about one-thousand something."

'No.'

"One thousand?" She turned to The Doctor. "Don't mind the mess. Do you want a coffee?

"Might as well, thanks. Just milk." The Doctor said, which was the last thing he said before getting distracted.

"Yes, creamer and sugar." I said, while being the to listen to Rose.

"We should go to the police. Seriously. All of us."

"Well, Rose, I'm not entirely sure that would be good."

"That won't last, he's gay and she's an alien." Said The Doctor who was messing with random books and things lying around.

"Well why not? I'm not blaming you, even if it was just some sort of joke that went wrong."

"It wasn't a joke. Ugh, anyway, everything will be explained later in the epi-" I sighed. "Adventure."

The Doctor flipped through a random paperback book. "Hmm. Sad ending."

"They said on the news they'd found a body." Rose continued.

He walked over to a mirror. "Ah, could've been worse. Look at the ears."

"All the same, he was nice. Nice bloke."

"I bet he was." I said. Man, I thought It's hard being in an episode. I sighed and sat down. It's better than talking to eleven again. Wow, THAT is gonna be awkward.

"Lizzie, what are you thinking about?" Asked The Doctor.

"What-Why?"

"Well, you're making...faces."

"No. I am not." I said, though, the slight blush and the fact I jumped when he spoke.

"Anyway," Rose spoke "if we are going to go to the police, I want to know what I'm saying."

The pack of cards The Doctor had attempted to shuffle went flying.

"I want you to explain everything." Rose said.

"Maybe not." Me and him said. We both got curious when the cat flap rattled. I stood up and grinned due to the fact I knew what would happen next.

"What's that, then? You got a cat?"

"No." Auton arm grabbed the Doctor by the throat. Seeming rude and murderous, I snickered. "We did have, but now they're just strays. They come in off the estate." She came from the kitchen with two mugs of coffee, but she ignores the fact that The Doctor's actually being strangled by an Auton arm.

I laughed a little louder before covering my mouth and making a quack-like noise instead of stopping.

"I told Mickey to chuck that out. You're all the same. Give a man a plastic hand. Anyway, I don't even know your name. Doctor, what was it?"

I said nothing, but I sighed.

The Doctor then managed to throw the arm off, but it stops mid-air and grabbed my face. Ugh, I thought The episode doesn't go this way. The Doctor tries to to yank it off of me, but instead toppled onto the coffee table and smashes it, leaving me on top pf him. The Doctor finally got it off my face, before sticking the sonic in the palm and it dis-arms. (Ba-dum-tshhhh) Somewhere in there we stood up.

"It's all right, I've stopped it. There you go, you see? Armless." The Doctor said.

"Do you think?" Rose said before hitting him with it. And I laughed again.

When he said 'Ow!' I smacked him and said "Wimp."


After that we were on our way outside.

"Hold on a minute. You can't just go swanning off." She complained

"Yes we can. Here we are. This is us, swanning off. See you." He said, continueing walking away.

"But that arm was moving. It tried to kill Lizzie."

"Ten out of ten for observation."

"You know," I snickered out "I'd say nine out of ten." I laughed. But, the joke awkwardly got ignored.

"You can't just walk away. That's not fair. You've got to tell me what's going on."

"No, I don't."

I sighed.

"All right, then. I'll go to the police. I'll tell everyone. You said, if I did that, I'd get people killed. So, your choice. Tell me, or I'll start talking." Rose said.

"Is that supposed to sound tough?"

"Sort of."

"Doesn't work."

"Who are you?"

"Told you. The Doctor."

"Yeah, but Doctor what?"

"Just the Doctor."

"The Doctor."

"Hello!"

"Is that supposed to sound impressive?"

"Sort of."

"Right, now that I've been ignored for an entire conversation, I'm Lizzie. Thanks for asking, Rose."

"Come on, then. You can tell me. I've seen enough. Are you the police?" Rose said, still ignoring the fact I even opened my mouth.

"No, we were just passing through. We're both a long way from home."

"But what have I done wrong? How comes those plastic things keep coming after me?"

"Oh, suddenly the entire world revolves around you. You were just an accident. You got in the way, that's all." The Doctor said to Rose.

"It tried to kill her."

"It was after me, not you. Last night, in the shop, I was there, you blundered in, almost ruined the whole thing. This morning, I was tracking it down, it was tracking me down. The only reason it fixed on you is 'cos you've met me."

"So what you're saying is, the entire world revolves around you."

"Sort of, yeah." I said.

"You two're full of it."

"Sort of, yeah." I said again.

"But, all this plastic stuff. Who else knows about it?"

"No one. Well, she does, but I've just met her not long ago."

"What, so you were on your own?"

"Well, who else is there? I mean, you lot, all you do is eat chips, go to bed, and watch telly, while all the time, underneath you, there's a war going on."

"You know, Doc, if only you knew the future." I mumbled

"Okay." Rose said "Start from the beginning. I mean, if we're going to go with the living plastic, and I don't even believe that, but if we do, how did you kill it?"

"The thing controlling it projects life into the arm. I cut off the signal, dead."

"So that's radio control?"

"Thought control. Are you all right?"

"Yeah. So, who's controlling it, then?"

"Long story."

"But what's it all for? I mean, shop window dummies, what's that about? Is someone trying to take over Britain's shops?"

At this I laughed. "Maybe not, Rose."

"No?" She said.

"It's not a price war." He said, before we all cracked up. "They want to overthrow the human race and destroy you. Do you believe me?"

"No." She replied.

"But you're still listening."

"Ah, how clever." I said. Before grinning.

"Really, though, Doctor. Tell me, who are you?"

I held my breath. There was a great speech coming.

"Do you know like we were saying about the Earth revolving?" He said "It's like when you were a kid. The first time they tell you the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still." He paused "I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling round the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world," He paused "...and if we let go... " He paused again "That's who I am. Now, forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home."

We walked back into the TARDIS, leaving Rose behind. He set the TARDIS to send us somewhere in time and space. "Doctor, where are we going?"

"We're taking you home. What year do you come from?"

"Uh, twenty-fourteen."

"Right." He said.

The TARDIS soon landed. "Doctor. I'm not leaving the TARDIS." I said. Firmly planting myself in my spot, across from the door.

"Lizzie, go. I need to stop the Autons without humans getting in the way." He said. I took a step forward and slapped him.

"Now, Doctor, take me back there to Rose or I will slap you again."

"Please, don't. I need you to go home."

"Doctor. You know me in the future. I'm not a one-time companion."

"And how can you prove that? For all I know you could be lying."

"Yeah, I could, but I'm not."

"Prove it." Fine. I turned to my purse, of which I left in the TARDIS. I picked it up and hesitated. He wasn't supposed to know it yet. I put it back down and sighed.

"You just have to trust me, Doctor." I couldn't prove myself, nor his future, but it soon clicked that I knew somewhat his past.

"Fine. Fourth face of yours had a ridiculous mile-long scarf and an equally ridiculous hat. Six had a rainbow outfit, and the one before this face stopped the Time-War. If I really didn't know you, would I know about the face you're the least proud of and don't tell anyone about?"

"Fine. You can stay. But, the scarf was fantastic."


"So what's the plan?" I said, while we were closing in on the restaurant, trying to play along with the episode.

"Well, I'm gonna pretend to be a waiter, and-"

"Can I be the waiter?" I said, like a little girl asking for ice-cream.

"No-"

"But Doctoooooor!"

"It could get dangerous."

"Fine, I can pretend to...I donno...be a customer. If all else fails I got my pocket-knife." I pulled out of my pocket and wiggled it for more effect.


"But you can trust me, sweetheart, babe, sugar, babe, sugar." He looked as if he was glitching. "You can tell me anything." He leaned forward and stared seriously at Rose "Tell me about the Doctor and what he's planning, and I can help you, Rose. Because that's all I really want to do, sweetheart, babe, babe, sugar, sweetheart."

"What're you doing that for?" Rose confusedly said.

"Your champagne." The Doctor said.

I watched from the waiting area.

"Ma'am can I get that table. Specifically."

'We didn't order any champagne.' Mickey said. 'Where's The Doctor?'

"Uh, sure." She said. She then leaded me to the table.

I sat down and focused my attention on them. Ah, Mickey the idiot! I thought Well, close enough.

"Madam, your champagne." He insisted

"It's not ours." Rose said "Mickey, what is it? What's wrong?"

"I need to find out how much you know, so where is he?" Mickey replied.

"Doesn't anybody want this champagne?"

"Look, we didn't order it." Mickey finally looked up. "Ah. Gotcha."

"Hey, Doc? I think I'll take the champagne." I said, while standing up. He tossed me the bottle and I shook it as hard as I could. "Don't mind me. I'm just toasting the happy couple. On me!" I launched the cork into Plastic-Mickey's forehead.

After a few moments, he spat the cork out. "Anyway." He got up and turned his hand into something along the lines of a cutting board and chops the table in half, and as he does that, rose flees.

The Doctor then started wrestleing with the Auton, and eventually pulled off his head. Everyone else ran off screaming.

"Don't think that's going to stop me." Mickey said. His decapitated body flailed around whacking things.

"Oh, crap." I mumbled. Mickey's body was headed at me. "Doctor!" I screamed, backing up. Just then Rose pulled the fire alarm.

"Everyone out! Out now! Get out! Get out! Get out!" She screamed. The Doctor, (Still holding the head, by the way.) made his way to me and pulled me away from infront of Mickey and we headed through the building. After a minute of distruction, he followed us.

After we got outside, The Doctor sealed the exit shut, while I headed to the TARDIS, and Rose went past it.

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

"Sonic screwdriver." Me and The Doctor said in unison.

"Use it!" She said frantically.

"Nah. Tell you what, let's go in here." The Doctor said. He unlocked the TARDIS and went inside, followed by me. The Auton is still banging on the metal door, leaving huge dents.

"You can't hide inside a wooden box. It's going to get us! Doctor!" She yelled. She continued to try to open the gate, then gives up and goes into the TARDIS. She stopped short, and runs around the TARDIS. When the Auton smashes through, she zoomed inside. "It's going to follow us!"

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

"Er, the inside's bigger than the outside?" She said, a bit wide-eyed.

"Yes." The Doctor said. At this, of course, I grinned.

"It's alien." She said.

"Yeah." He replied

"Are you alien?"

"Yes. Is that all right?"

"Yeah." She turned to me. "How about you? You alien?"

"Uh, I... yes." I started. I almost kicked myself before lying through my teeth. "No, uh, I mean no. Fully human." They were looking at me weird, so I decided to steal The Doctor's line. "It's called the Tardis, this thing. T-A-R-D-I-S, It means 'Time And Relative Dimension In Space'."

At this, Rose bursted into tears. No fair, I'm a ugly cryer. That doesn't come in handy with my life.

"That's okay. Culture shock. Happens to the best of us." The Doctor said.

"Did they kill him? Mickey? Did they kill Mickey? Is he dead?" She asked.

"Oh. I didn't think of that." When he said this, I nearly smacked him.

"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?"

"Melt?" He asked, when he turned around and saw the head melting. "Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" He started up the TARDIS, letting it follow the last bit of signal left.

"What're you doing?" She asked.

Haha, noob. I thought

"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 landed, safe and sound. Well, ish. There was a melted head in there. We zoomed to the door.

"You can't go out there. It's not safe." She said

"Rose, you're new. You'll understand later. Now, shut your face and come on!"

It was night, and we had a nice view of a Ferris-wheel thing. (I've never been to the UK or anywhere probably near it. I'm trying my hardest.)

"I lost the signal, I got so close." He said.

"We've moved. Does it fly?"

"Disappears there and reappears here. You wouldn't understand."

"If we're somewhere else, what about that headless thing? It's still on the loose."

"It melted with the head. Are you going to witter on all night?"

"I'll have to tell his mother. Mickey. I'll have to tell his mother he's dead, and you just went and forgot him, again! You were right, you are alien."

"Look, if I did forget some kid called Mickey,"

This conversation, honestly, was starting to make me mad.

"Yeah, he's not a kid." Rose said.

"It's because I'm trying to save the life of every stupid ape blundering on top of this planet, all right?"

"Ok, Doctor, you better stop this stupid mood. It all turns out good in the end, so shut your yap and go with it." I said-...yelled...louder than I intended.

It was awkwardly silent for a moment. Then Rose said "If you are an alien, how comes you sound like you're from the North?"

"Lots of planets have a north."

"What's a police public call box?"

"It's a telephone box from the 1950s. It's a disguise."

"Yeah, a broken one." I mumbled.

"Okay. And this, this living plastic. What's it got against us?" Rose asked.

"Nothing. It loves you. You've got such a good planet. Lots of smoke and oil, plenty of toxins and dioxins in the air, perfect. Just what the Nestene Consciousness needs. It's food stock was destroyed in the war, all its protein plants rotted, so Earth, dinner!"

"Any way of stopping it?"

The Doctor held up a tube of blue liquid. "Anti-plastic."

"Anti-plastic." She repeated with a smile.

"Anti-plastic. But first I've got to find it. How can you hide something that big in a city this small?"

I knew what would happen next, so I stayed quiet for a while.

"Hold on. Hide what?" Rose asked yet another question.

"The transmitter. The Consciousness is controlling every single piece of plastic, so it needs a transmitter to boost the signal."

"What's it look like?"

The large Ferris-wheel behind The Doctor. I thought.

"Like a transmitter. Round and massive, slap bang in the middle of London." He explained "A huge circular metal structure like a dish, like a wheel. Radial. Close to where we're standing. Must be completely invisible."

He noticed us staring behind him "What? What?" He turned around and looked at it but it just didn't click.

Penny in the air... I mind-quoted Melody.

"What? What is it? What?" He kept turning around and looking, but it still doesn't click. It finally clicked. "Oh. Fantastic!"

...And the penny drops.


"Think of it, plastic all over the world, every artificial thing waiting to come alive. The shop window dummies, the phones, the wires, the cables" He went on

"The breast implants." Rose said. Okay, I didn't catch that when I watched it all five times, but I laughed.

"Still, we've found the transmitter. The Consciousness must be somewhere underneath."

"What about down here?" She looked down at a manhole entrence near a staircase.

"Looks good to me." The Doctor said. We went inside.

We climbed down a small ladder and into an area with chains and bricks. We went down a a flight of steps and went into a multi-level chamber.

"The Nestene Consciousness. That's it, inside the vat. A living plastic creature."

"Well, then. Tip in your anti-plastic and let's go."

"I'm not here to kill it. I've got to give it a chance."

"That's the Doctor I know." I smiled.

He went down a sort of catwalk and looked over the vat."I seek audience with the Nestene Consciousness under peaceful contract according to convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation."

The vat moved and made a noise I wasn't forgetting any time soon.

"Thank you. If I might have permission to approach?"

Rose looked around, saw Mickey, and ran down."Oh, Gosh! Mickey, it's me! It's okay. It's all right."

"That thing down there, the liquid. Rose, it can talk!" Mickey freaked

"You're stinking. Doctor, they kept him alive." Rose said. I headed down to Rose, still keeping my eye on The Doctor.

"Yeah, that was always a possibility. Keep him alive to maintain the copy."

"You knew that and you never said?"

"Can we keep the domestics outside, thank you?"

He continued to go down. "Am I addressing the Consciousness? Thank you. If I might observe, you infiltrated this civilization by means of warp shunt technology. So, may I suggest, with the greatest respect, that you shunt off?"

A face formed in the vat.

"Oh, don't give me that. It's an invasion, plain and simple. Don't talk about constitutional rights. I am talking! This planet is just starting. These stupid little people have only just learnt how to walk, but they're capable of so much more. I'm asking you on their behalf. Please, just go."

"Doctor!" Rose screamed at shop-dummies grabbed the Doctor and took the anti-plastic from his quiet.

"That was just insurance. I wasn't going to use it. I was not attacking you. I'm here to help. I'm not your enemy. I swear, I'm not. What do you mean?" A door slid back to reveal the TARDIS. "No. Oh, no. Honestly, no. Yes, that's my ship. That's not true. I should know, I was there. I fought in the war. It wasn't my fault. I couldn't save your world! I couldn't save any of them!"

"What's it doing?!" Rose screamed. Man, she was giving me a headache.

"It's the TARDIS! The Nestene's identified its superior technology. It's terrified. It's going to the final phase. It's starting the invasion! Get out, Rose! Just leg it now!" He yelled. The vat started roaring. Rose started to try to phone her mother.

"Mum?" She asked "Where are you, mum?" she paused "No, go home! Just go home right now!" Pause again "Mum! Mum!"

The Consciousness started throwing energy bolts around.

"It's the activation signal. It's transmitting!" He yelled

"It's the end of the world." Rose screamed.

"Get out, Rose! Just get out! Run!"

"The stairs have gone." She yelled, before the Autons try to push The Doctor into the vat. Rose and Mickey try to open the TARDIS. "I haven't got the key!"

"We're going to die!" Mickey yelled

Rose looked around.

"No!" He yelled as he struggled

"Time Lords." It spoke.

With all that was happening, even though I knew the entire plot, I was slightly freaking out. Just 'cause they don't die it doesn't mean I can't. Autons tried to grab me to throw me into the vat, but I managed to get away. I heard a whisper coming from an unseen metal hallway that was pretty much a dead-end.

"Lizzie" Said the voice, over and over. it was all I could focus on. I turned my head to it. "Lizzie" I started to walk to it.

"Lizzie, what're you doing? We're gonna die, and you're going for a stroll?"

"Gimme a minute, Rose. Tell The Doctor that I'm okay." I said, before speed-walking to the voice. I gasped at what I saw. "Doctor?" I breathed. I went over and hugged him. "I haven't seen eleven for a while. How've you been?" I whispered.

"Well, pretty good. And before you ask, I was solving a ghost mystery that turned out to be a love story. You should know, you were there."

"Ah, spoilers. We need to get out of here."

"Right, yes, this way." He lead me around a corner and I saw the TARDIS.

"So, late eleven, I'm assuming. Due to the slightly different, the adventure you failed to explain, and your hair is different. Seriously, you're worse than ten. You just have...less...eyebrows. Anyways, you're my favorite time-point. Late eleven!"

"Less eyebrows?" He said, offended. "How do I have less eyebrows?"

"Okay, we're not talking about this right now. You need to get us out of here."


Preview for: Napping Through Time

All is well until Lizzie hears a strange voice. When she finally passes out she wakes up in a different time-point of The Doctors. Weird. Anyways, The Doctor is still hiding many secrets from the confused time-lord. Leaving the readers with these questions, what is happening, how is it happening, who is the voice, and are Fezzes ACTUALLY cool?
