The next day they had decided to go travelling, but it was proving to be a bumpier ride than expected.

"Hold that one down!" The Doctor yelled at Rose.

"I'm holding this one down" Rose stated.

"A little help, Kat?" The Doctor asked.

Katerina looked up from where she was sitting on the nearby chairs, flicking through a magazine.

"Hm, am I right in remembering you telling me 'don't touch the console, I'll probably put a dent in the 1950's' only about an hour ago?" Katerina retorted.

"I retract my earlier statement. Now, if you would?" The Doctor insisted, indicating to which switch he wanted her to hold down.

"Do I get to choose where we go?" Katerina asked.

"Yes, yes" The Doctor dismissed, tapping the console.

"Okay" Katerina grinned, standing up and pressing the switch down.

"Some point in Earth's Past, I don't know, at least a 100 years ago" Katerina exclaimed.

"How does 1860 sound?" The Doctor inquired.

"What happened in 1860?" Rose queried.

"I don't know, let's find out. Hold on, here we go!" The Doctor announced, as he sent them spinning through the time vortex.

Suddenly, they were all thrown onto their backs, as the TARDIS landed.

"Blimey!" Rose laughed, as she picked herself up.

"You're telling me. Are you two alright?" The Doctor questioned, as Katerina nodded.

"Yeah. I think so. Nothing broken. Did we make it? Where are we?" Rose questioned.

"I did it. Give the man a medal. Earth, Naples, December 24th, 1860" The Doctor informed them.

"Okay, we better get changed then" Katerina stated, grabbing Rose's hand and pulling her away.

"Hold up, why is there a costume change happening?" Rose asked.

"1860's. You go out wearing that…it's not going to end well. Let's see what he's got" Katerina grinned, pulling her further into the TARDIS.


"So what do you think? All I need is some fangs and fake blood, and then I have a Halloween costume" Katerina laughed, showing Rose what she was wearing.

She had chosen a velvety black dress that went right down to her ankles, and was wearing a black cape over it. She looked up to see Rose wearing a corset, and red skirt, and raised an eyebrow.

"And who exactly are you dressing up for?" Katerina questioned.

"Can't a girl dress for herself?" Rose retorted.

"True, but I don't buy it" She grinned.

"Do you think he's going to laugh?" Rose asked.

"Well there's only one way to find out" Katerina said, pushing Rose to go see him.

She admired herself in the mirror for a few more moments, before nodding, happy with her choice.

"Blimey!" She heard the Doctor exclaim.

"Don't laugh" Rose insisted, as Katerina entered the room.

"You look beautiful…considering…" The Doctor trailed off, a small blush on his face.

"Considering what?" Rose frowned.

"That you're human" The Doctor replied.

"I'd take that as a compliment if I was you. Hey, wait a minute, why haven't you changed?" Katerina accused, as she walked over to them, not wanting to spoil the moment beforehand.

"I've changed my jumper. Come on" The Doctor announced, as Katerina rolled her eyes.

"You stay there. You've done this before. This is mine!" Rose told him, as she rushed over to the doors.

"I bagsie next time" Katerina stated.

"You what?" The Doctor asked, confused.

"Sometimes I forgot how old you are" Katerina said, with a mock sigh.

"Hey!" The Doctor called after her, as she followed Rose.

Rose stepped out onto the snow outside, cautiously, as Katerina came rushing out from behind her.

"Oh my God, real snow" Katerina gasped, crouching down and gathering it in her hands.

"Are you feeling alright?" Rose questioned, laughing.

"Snow is a rare and beautiful thing that should be fully appreciated" Katerina replied, as she strolled of down the road.

She didn't see that the Doctor and Rose had linked arms, a grin on both of each other's faces.

"Um, Doctor, are you sure this is Naples?" Katerina queried, as they walked into the centre of the town.

With a frown on his face, the Doctor paid for a nearby paper and let out a sigh.

"I got the flight a bit wrong" The Doctor admitted.

"Ha, I knew it" Katerina grinned.

"I don't care" Rose stated.

"It's not 1860, its 1869" The Doctor informed them.

"I don't care" Rose repeated.

"And it's not Naples" The Doctor confessed.

"I don't care" Rose insisted.

"It's Cardiff" The Doctor went on, making Rose stop in her tracks.

"Right" Rose said, disappointed.

"Hey, at least we still have snow" Katerina exclaimed, pulling her along.


A few moments later, they heard loud screams coming from a nearby theatre.

"Now that's more like it" The Doctor grinned, throwing the paper away and running towards the sounds.

They rushed into the theatre, pushing the terrified people who were going in the opposite direction out of their way. Katerina couldn't stop the gasp that left her when she saw translucent blue beings flying above her.

"No way. Ghosts!" Katerina realised, as she watched the beings in awe.

"Fantastic" The Doctor announced, as he ran forward.

He then went up to the man on the stage to ask what had happened, while Rose and Katerina spotted a man and a woman dragging an elderly lady away.

"Oi! Leave her alone! Doctor, I'll get them" Rose informed them, as she began to rush after the pair.

"I better go after her" Katerina suggested.

"Be careful" The Doctor insisted.

"Always am" She replied, giving him a mock salute.

"What're you doing?!" Rose cried, when she caught up with them, as they put the woman in the back of a hearse.

"Oh, it's a tragedy, miss. Don't worry yourself. Me and the master will deal with it. The fact is, this poor lady's been taken with the brain fever and we have to get her to the infirmary" The woman told her.

Before Katerina could say anything, she was pushed forward, her hand slamming into the hearse, as everything went black.
