Stolen Earth

Disclaimer: I do not own Psych or Doctor Who, no matter how much I wish I did.

Note: I do skip some parts of the episodes. This is because what would happen here is pretty much what happened in the episode.

July 28th, 2009

The Doctor ran out of the TARDIS as soon as it landed back on Earth. He didn't even wait to see if Gus and Shawn were behind him, he just ran out. Shawn and Gus exchanged a glance before quickly following him out.

"Doc, you alright?" Shawn asked.

"It's the same. Everything's the same," the Doctor said.

"And that's a problem because…?" Gus asked. The Doctor ignored him.

"Hey! You!" The Doctor called at a milkman who was approaching them. "What day is it?"

"Saturday," the milkman answered with a confused and worried look on his face.

"Saturday," the Doctor repeated. "That's good, I guess."

"Doc, who was that chick?" Shawn asked. "The girl that I saw when I was in my… own little world, I guess you could call it. Who was she?" The Doctor just looked at him. "Was she Rose Tyler?"

"Yes."

"I thought she was trapped in her own world," Gus said.

"Exactly. If she can cross from her parallel world to Shawn's parallel world, that means the walls of the universe are breaking down. Which means everything's in danger."

"But… how?" Shawn asked.

"That's the question," The Doctor said. He didn't know what to do, so he walked back into the TARDIS, Shawn and Gus close behind him.

"So who is Rose Tyler?" Gus asked as they went back in. "Is she a bad guy? Or… one of us?" The Doctor raised an eyebrow at Gus.

"She's good," The Doctor answered. "The best of the best."

"Then, her coming back… isn't that a good thing?"

The Doctor looked up and stared at Gus for just a second, before a huge grin spread across his face. "Yeah. It is."

And before the Shawn or Gus could say anything else, before the Doctor could even finish navigating around the console, they all felt the TARDIS shake. They both grabbed hold of anything that could help keep them upright and waited for it to stop.

"What in the hell was that?" Shawn asked when the shaking finally stopped. They all exchanged a worried glance before running towards the exit. When they opened it, to their complete and utter surprise, they weren't on Earth anymore. They were in space.

The Doctor ran back inside, leaving Shawn and Gus to stare at their surroundings with wide eyes and open mouths. The Doctor stared at his monitor in confusion.

"We haven't moved," The Doctor said.

"Doc, obviously that's not right," Shawn said. "Look!" he pointed to the space outside.

"The TARDIS is in the same place, we haven't moved," The Doctor explained.

"Look, the only alternative is that the Earth somehow moved," Gus said incredulously. The Doctor just gave him a look. "But… but that's not possible. Right?"

"It… it can't be," the Doctor said, but the Psych duo could clearly see that he was trying to convince himself of that. "The whole Earth… it's gone."

Everything was a mess. Houses had sustained damage, mostly from the inside rather than the outside, though some weren't as lucky as that. Some cars had shifted and some very unfortunate cars had flipped over. Most people were sprawled on the floor, just trying to recover after what had to be the most random and unprepared for earthquake of all time. Some had seriously hurt themselves, but luckily, for the most part, everyone was okay.

Henry Spencer opened his eyes to find himself sprawled on the floor of his living room. His house was a mess. There were books and frames and even his most prized fishing trophies scattered across the floor. He pushed himself up and stared at the mess, unreasonably only thinking about how long it would take to clean up this mess. It took just under a minute before he remembered about Shawn and Gus and everyone he ever cared about.

Henry lunged for the phone sitting on his counter. He dialled Shawn's number first, but there was no answer. Why would there be? He was travelling across the universe with some strange man in a blue box. He debated calling Gus as well, but where there was Shawn, there was Gus. If Shawn couldn't answer, why would Gus be able to? So next on his list was the SBPD.

He called Chief Karen Vick, but her line was busy. Probably due to all the concerned citizens or even the mayor himself demanding for officers to be sent to help. So Henry called his next best option.

'Spencer!' the man on the other end answered the phone. 'What the hell do you want, we're kind of busy in case you haven't notice!'

"Lassiter, you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice," Henry said, ignoring the disrespect that he had just received. "How is everybody? Is anyone hurt?"

Carlton Lassiter was apparently taken back by the older man's concern. 'Everyone's fine,' the detective assured Henry after a moment of silence. 'O'Hara hurt her ankle and McNabb has a mild concussion, but nothing we can't deal with.'

"Oh good," Henry said, letting out a small breath of relief. That was the SBPD safe. Next he'd call Maddie, make sure she was safe. As for Shawn, what could he do? "What happened? Do you have any idea?" Henry asked. There was silence on the other end for a while.

'No idea,' Carlton admitted. 'But I think you should take a look outside.'

"What's outside?" Carlton hung up the phone. "Lassiter? What's outside? Carlton!" Henry threw the phone in frustration at the couch. After pacing in his kitchen for a couple seconds more, he decided to check. Henry walked towards his window and looked around. He couldn't see anything wrong with the streets, or with the houses around him. But then he looked up. Then he looked at the sky. "That's impossible," Henry whispered to himself.

Almost as if in a daze, Henry walked out his front door and out into the street. He looked up at the sky in complete shock and fear – yes, Henry would freely admit it, he was scared. "This is impossible," Henry repeated to himself as he continued to stare up at the sky. Right above his head, seemingly close enough to touch were planets upon planets upon planets! In what appeared to be a night sky at eight in the morning, there were planets!

"This isn't possible!" Henry yelled. And for the first time in a very long time, Henry prayed, "God help us."

"Look, Spencer, now is not the time!" Lassiter complained. He quickly moved between desks, handing files and reports to different officers, a phone held in between his ear and his shoulder.

"Lassiter, don't you tell me now is not the time!" Henry yelled. "The whole country has become a mess, there are twenty six planets right above our heads! My son is missing and so is his best friend! I'm not just going to sit in my house twiddling my thumbs waiting for this all to be solved! I can help!"

"No offence, Henry, I appreciated that you were a good cop when you were on the force, but you're not an officer anymore. You're a civilian. Please leave this to us."

"Leave this to you? Giant metal salt and pepper shakers with guns for arms are attacking, and you want me to just leave this to you?"

"Yes, Henry! It's our duty to protect and serve, and if you keep interfering with that, I'll put you in a holding cell!"

Henry stared at Carlton harshly for a long time. "Fine," he spat out at last. "Have it your way." And with that, Henry left the station and started to head back home.

When Henry finally turned onto his street, he saw it. Of course, he had seen many before roaming the streets of Santa Barbara, but never this close up. A Dalek was approaching him, right on his street. All Henry could think about was his son, about how he was dealing with this sort of crap all the time. If Shawn could be brave, so could he. So Henry stepped out of his car.

"Halt. You. Will. Come. With. Me," The Dalek said to Henry. He just smirked and pulled out his gun. Henry had about seven in his house at any given moment, and as soon as he realised that this would be life and death, he grabbed one to carry with him at all times. Henry pointed the gun at the Dalek and fired. Now, Henry Spencer was a good shot. Hell, Henry Spencer was a great shot. There was no way he could possibly miss a target this close, and he knew he had shot the damned thing. But nothing happened.

"Hostility will not be tolerated!" the Dalek proclaimed. Henry didn't know what to do, so he shot again. Nothing happened. "Exterminate. Exterminate. EXTERMINA – "

BOOM

Before the thing could even finish the word, shots were fired and it blew up. As the smoke eventually cleared, Henry saw her. A blonde woman in a purple jacket, a massive gun strapped to her pointing at the Dalek. She almost smirked before walking towards Henry. Generally, a woman with a gun who just killed something you couldn't should send you screaming, but Henry just knew. He knew she was good.

Henry stared at the woman, then at her gun. "You have got to tell me where to get one of those."

"You're Shawn Spencer's dad, aren't you?" Henry raised an eyebrow at her. He opened his mouth to answer her, but she quickly cut him off, already knowing the answer, "I need your help."

Henry gestured to his house and together they walked towards it. Henry just left his car there. After all, an alien invasion and people running and screaming for their lives. His truck wasn't exactly his top priority.

"I tried to call him," Henry said. "There was no answer. The last time he called he was on a planet called Midnight, made of diamonds." He opened the door to his house and together they walked in. she plopped down on the sofa the minute she got in.

"You were my last hope," she said sadly. "If you can't find Shawn, you can't find the Doctor."

"The Doctor? You can't find him?" she just shook her head. "What about my son? Is he in danger?"

"We're all in danger."

Henry Spencer and Rose Tyler just sat on separate couches, staring at nothing. Neither of them knew what to do, so all they did was sit and wait. Sit and hope for a miracle. And finally, a beautiful and very much needed miracle came.

The computer Henry had place in his living room desk turned on by itself. A blurry image came up, accompanied by an English voice. Henry just stared in confusion while Rose got up and ran to excitedly. She watched and waited in anticipation, trying to find out who was contacting her and why the voice was so familiar. When the image on screen finally started to clear up, Rose could have cried of relief.

'Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister' the woman on screen said, lifting up an ID. Rose laughed.

"Yes, I know who you are," Rose said. No acknowledgment was made of what she said. She turned back to Henry. "Do you have a webcam or a microphone or something?" she asked.

"No," Henry admitted. "Shawn was always meant to install one for me, but he just piled excuse after excuse after excuse, and it never got installed."

So Rose and Henry watched as one after another, companions made it on the screen, and Rose was never mentioned. They just focused on finding the Doctor, nothing else.

"You never give up," Shawn said in a disappointed tone. "Why are you giving up now, then?"

"Some hero you got there, Shawn," Gus said from his spot on the couch. He had heard such a great stories from Shawn, but all it was to Gus was danger and a mess. Shawn sighed, but didn't disagree.

A phone suddenly started to ring, causing all of them to jump. Shawn and the Doctor exchanged a quick look.

"Answer it!" Shawn yelled, while the Doctor dove for it.

"Martha?!" he practically yelled into the phone. There was no voice, just beeps. The Doctor smiled. "It's a signal!"

"Can you track it?" Shawn asked excitedly.

"Just you watch me!"

"What are you doing?" Rose asked from where she stood, monitoring the screen while constantly punching in the Doctor's number.

"What?" Henry asked from his spot on the couch.

Rose rolled her eyes, picked up the landline Henry had thrown earlier that day and tossed it to Henry. "Call that number," Rose said, pointing at the screen. "Don't stop calling that number." Henry stared at her questioningly. "You want to find your son, don't you?" And so Henry obeyed, and started dialling the number over and over again.

'Harriet, they've traced your location and got a lock on it,' Henry and Rose both heard a voice coming from the top right corner of the screen say. A girl who appeared to be working with Jack Harkness.

'I know,' Harriet said. 'I'm using the network to hide your location. Don't stop calling.'

'EXTERMINATE,' they all heard come from the screen, followed by a big crashing sound. 'Captain,' Harriet said. 'I'm transferring the controls to Torchwood. You're in charge now. Tell the Doctor from me… he chose his companions well.'

Harriet Jones then stood up and turned to face her incoming intruders. She stood up bravely in front of the three Daleks. She stood tall. She held out her ID and called out proudly, 'Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister.'

'Yes. We. Know. Who. You. Are.'

'Oh you know nothing of any human. And that will be your downfall.'

'Exterminate!'

The sound of the laser went off, and just like that, Harriet was gone. The top left corner of the screen went blurry, and then black. Rose and Henry exchanged a look, before sparing a moment's silence for the former prime minister who gave her life to contact the Doctor.

Not long at all passed before that corner was filled again with a new image. The Doctor, Shawn and Gus. Henry quickly jumped up from where he sat and ran to the screen. That was his son, after all.

"Shawn!" Henry exclaimed. "and Gus! They're alright! Oh, thank God! They're alright!"

"Doctor…" Rose whispered. "I'm here…"

There wasn't much time to celebrate though. Soon, all four video feeds were cut and was replaced by a new one. He started to speak directly to the Doctor, and Rose could hear the panic some of the other viewers expressed. They knew who he was, but apparently he was supposed to be dead. Just like the Daleks. They just never die, do they?

"Who the hell is that ugly face on my screen?" Henry suddenly demanded.

"I have no idea," Rose said quietly. And together they sat and listened as he and the Doctor talked. And they learned about their new enemy. They learned about how he had created the Daleks. How he had supposedly died, how the Doctor tried to save him. About Kahn and how he went back to the Time War. How no one was meant to be able to do that, and yet that one Dalek had managed it. and now they knew, they all knew. They were in serious trouble.

Rose didn't say much after the video feed had ended. She just picked up her phone and walked into the next room. When she came back, she had a smile on her face and her gun strapped around her again. She walked in front of Henry and turned to face him.

"Thanks, for everything. I'm going to go find the Doctor," her smile just grew bigger. "Wish me luck!" but before Henry had a chance to say anything, she was gone.

The Doctor, Shawn and Gus were back on Earth once again. They looked around and saw the ruins that was once their home.

"Sarah Jane said they were taking people," The Doctor said, thinking out loud. He turned back to Shawn. "Think, Shawn, you saw Rose in your parallel universe. What did she say?"

"Nothing much. Just that the darkness was coming," Shawn said calmly.

"What did she mean by that? What else?" Shawn was going to answer, but then he saw her.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?"

The Doctor stared at him confused, before he slowly and carefully turned around. And there she was. Rose! No words were said. They just locked eye contact and then broke into a sprint towards each other. They ran and they ran, just happy to finally see each other again. And for a moment, the end of the world wasn't happening, the human race wasn't in danger. For a moment, everything was perfect.

But then that moment ended. And before they could even meet in the middle, the Doctor was shot down by an unseen Dalek. Gus and Shawn broke in a sprint to help out in any way possible, and within a blink of an eye there was another man who joined them. The man shot the Dalek, immediately killing it, before shouting orders to bring the Doctor back into the TARDIS. They all complied, helping the Doctor to his feet and almost dragging him back to safety.

"What do we do?" Shawn yelled. "he's a Timelord, he's not human, surely there's some way to help him!" Rose didn't say anything, she just held the Doctor's hand, unwilling to let go.

"Rose, get away," the new man ordered. "He's dying, and you know what happens when he's dying!"

"What the hell does that mean?" Shawn demanded.

The Doctor raised his hand and a gold mist started to surround it. Shawn and Gus stared in complete shock, allowing the new man to pull them away from the Doctor. Rose still refused to step away. "It's starting," The Doctor muttered.

Finally, the new guy pulled Rose away from the Doctor, allowing him to try and stand up on his own. Shawn and Gus continued to stare, eyes wide and jaws dropping.

"Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on?!" Shawn demanded.

"The Doctor, when he's dying, his body can… it can sort of repair itself, it changes," Rose explained, before turning back to the Doctor. "But you can't!"

"I'm sorry, it's already starting," The Doctor forced out. "I'm regenerating."

And before Shawn could even think about asking another question, The Doctor spread his arms and legs out and appeared to be emitting some sort of golden flames. And that was that.

The Doctor was regenerating.

Author's Notes: This was going to be the last chapter, but it turned out longer than I thought it would be. I've already started the next one, so the more reviews I get, the sooner I'll update *hint hint*
