Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who that goes to the BBC
"You can't do that, we weren't... we're in flight! That is... that is physically impossible! How did...?" The Doctor said looking around for some explanation, bewildered Rose is bewildered as well "Yeah how did you get in here?" she asked the bride as well
"Tell me where I am. I demand either of you to tell me right now, where am I?" The bride demanded
"Inside the Tardis." The Doctor answered
"The what?" The bride asked.
"The Tardis." Rose answered
"The what?" The Bride asked again
"The Tardis!" The Doctor said
The Doctor turns to the controls "The what?" The bride asked again.
"It's called the Tardis." The Doctor was fiddling with a few controls and he and Rose both said at the same time, getting fed up with the bride's attitude.
"That's not even a proper word. You both are just saying things." The bride said angrily to the two gallifreyans.
"How did you get in here?" The Doctor asked the bride.
"I'm curious on how you got in here as well." Rose agreed with her husband.
"Well, obviously, when you and blondie here kidnapped me. Who was it? Who's paying you? Is it Nerys? Oh, my God, she's finally got me back. This has got Nerys written all over it." The bride said, rigid with rage. The Doctor watches her rant, looking her up and down with utter confusion.
"Who the hell is Nerys?" The Doctor and Rose asked
"Your best friend." The bride said as if they knew who she was talking about.
"Hold on, wait a minute... what're you dressed like that for?" The Doctor asked and Rose giggles
"I'm going ten pin bowling." The bride said, sarcastically "Why do you think, Dumbo? I was halfway up the aisle!" She then yells and The Doctor begins to fiddle with the controls "I've been waiting all my life for this. I was just seconds away! And then one of you... I dunno, one of you must have drugged me or something!" the bride said as she walks around, ranting.
"We haven't done anything!" The Doctor said defensively.
"We're having the police on you two! Me and my husband, as soon as he is my husband, we're gonna sue the living backside off the both of ya!" the bride yelled and The Doctor does not reply, engrossed in operating the controls and Rose watching her husband and the bride notices the doors and rushes over to them and The Doctor looks up in alarm, Rose turned her head t look at Donna and they both hurried after her.
"No, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Don't...!" The Doctor said urgently
But too late , Donna has already thrown open the doors and is now looking upon the supernova. Her mouth falls open slightly. The Doctor and Rose goes to stand next to her.
"You're in space. Outer Space. This is our spaceship. It's called the Tardis." The Doctor said
"How am I breathing?" The bride asked
"The Tardis is protecting us." He answered
"Who are you?" She asked the Doctor
"I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said.
"I'm Rose Smith, the Doctor's my husband." Rose said
"You?" The Doctor asked the bride
"Donna." The bride answered.
"Human?" He asked her as he looks up and down.
"Yeah. Is that optional?" Donna asked
"Well, it is for us." The Doctor said and Donna glances around at him, and then did the same to Rose but there's not much room for more surprise.
"You're an aliens." Donna asked them in surprise
"Yeah." He said confirming her question.
"Yep we are aliens." Rose said at the same time as her husband.
"It's freezing with these doors open." Donna said a moment later so the Doctor slams them shut and darts back to the console.
"But I don't understand it and I understand everything! This... this can't happen! There is no way a Human Being can lock itself onto the Tardis and transport itself inside. It must be..." He said and then he's suddenly he's all energy, as he grabs an ophthalmoscope and uses it to look into Donna's eyes,"Impossible. Some sort of subatomic connection? Something in the temporal field? Maybe something pulling you into alignment with the Chronon shell. Maybe something macro mining your DNA within the interior matrix. Maybe a genetic..." He said, muttering an endless flow of techno-babble and Donna is stuck silent with confusion and then she slaps him.
"Oi, that's my job!" Rose exclaims at Donna
"What was that for?" He asked, indignantly as it hurt as much as he was slapped by Jackie.
"Get me to the church!" Donna yells and he drops his scientific instruments and going back to the controls "Right! Fine! I don't want you here anyway! Where is this wedding?" he asked as both he and Rose were fiddling with the controls (Remember Rose passed a Tardis pilot's test on Gallifrey, so she knows how to pilot a tardis.)
"Saint Mary's, Hayden Road, Chiswick, London, England, Earth, the Solar System." Donna said and then she notices an expression of grief in Rose's eyes. "You look like you've lost someone?" Donna asked her
"yeah I have. My stepmother." Rose replied
"What happened to her?" Donna asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Rose told her.
"Right! Chiswick." The Doctor said and then he and Rose both piloted the tardis to Earth
The Tardis materialises on Earth near a street and Donna exits from the Tardis and she saw that the surroundings were unfamiliar "I said Saint Mary's. What sort of Martians are you two? Where's this?" She asks as Rose comes out of the Tardis and the Doctor strokes the Tardis with concern "Something's wrong with her..." Donna rolls her eyes as he says that.
"It's like she's... recalibrating!" Rose said sensing what the tardis was feeling in her brain and both her and her husband . "She's digesting." The Doctor said as both he and Rose rush back into the Tardis and over to the console.
Donna stands outside with her mouth open as she's finally found out that the Tardis is bigger on the inside. "What have you eaten? What's wrong?" The Doctor asks the Tardis with one of his hands on the time rotor. Rose calls out to Donna asks "Donna? You've really gotta think. Is there anything that might've caused this?"
Donna isn't listening, as she paces around the outside of the Tardis, feeling the walls in utter bewilderment.
"Anything you might've done? Any sort of alien contacts? We can't let you go wandering off in case you're dangerous. I mean, have you... have you seen lights in the sky? Or... did you touch something? Something... something different? Something strange? Something made out of a sort of metal or... who're you getting married to?" The Doctor asked Donna as she goes around the Tardis to see if she wasn't imagining how big it was and pops her head back inside after doing all this, she stumbles backwards, hands over her mouth after confirming this.
"Are you sure he's human? He's not a bit overweight with a zip around his forehead, is he?"
As he mentions the slitheen, Rose gives herself a facepalm.
Donna walks away as she cannot cope with the reality of dimensional transcendentalism of the Tardis "Donna!" The Doctor said as he and Rose chased after her
"Donna." Rose said
"Both of you leave me alone. I just want to get married." Donna said
"Come back to the Tardis." The Doctor said
"No way. That box is too... weird." Donna declined
"It's... bigger on the inside, that's all." Rose reassured her.
"Oh! That's all?" Donna said and she sighs exaggeratedly and checks her watch.
"Ten past three. I'm gonna miss it." she said, suppressing tears
"You can phone them. Tell them where you are." The Doctor suggested
"How do I do that?" Donna asks the Time Lord.
"You can use my mobile." Rose said handing Donna her phone.
"Since when do Martians have mobiles?" Donna asked the Time Lady
"This man you're marrying, what's his name?" The Doctor asked Donna
"Lance." She said, suddenly all loved-up
"Good luke Lance." He said
"Oi! No two stupid Martians are gonna stop me from getting married. To hell with the two you!" Donna said, changing manner, with terrifying abruptness before running off.
"we're... we're not... we're not... we're not from Mars." Both The Doctor and Rose said before running after her
Donna runs down a busy street "Taxi!" she called to the Taxi as both The Doctor and Rose joins her and the taxi ignores them.
"Why's his light on?" Donna asked
"There's another one!" The Doctor said pointing at another taxi and he runs to try and catch it.
"Taxi!" Donna said and they stumble into the road in their effort to catch the driver's attention, but again, it just drives straight past.
"Oi!"
"There's one!" Rose said as she saw another Taxi and her husband runs, waving for attention. And again, it ignores them.
"Oi!" Donna yelled at the taxi driver.
"Do you have this effect on everyone? Why aren't they stopping?"He asked Donna
"They think I'm in fancy dress."
Another taxi drives past and the driver honks his horn "Stay off the scotch darlin'!"
"They think I'm drunk."
"You're fooling no-one, mate!" Two guys in their car yell out the window to Donna as they drive past them.
"They think I'm in drag!"
The Doctor looks Donna up and down appraisingly.
"You don't look like you're in drag." Rose told her
"Thank you, Rose." Donna said to Rose
"Hold on, hold on." The Doctor said before putting his fingers between his lips and whistles, long and piercing, causing Donna to wince and cover her ears, it didn't even cause Rose's ears to go in pain (because of superior biology), however, it attracts the attention of a taxi, which grinds to a halt before them. The Doctor, Rose and Donna clamber in the backseat. "Saint Mary's in Chiswick, just off Hayden Road. It's an emergency, I'm getting married! Just... hurry up!" Donna said, instructing the driver.
"You know it'll cost you, sweetheart? Double rates today." The taxi driver told Donna.
"Oh, my God!"
"Have either of you got any money?" She asked The Doctor and Rose
"Um... no. And you?" He asked Donna.
"Doctor, wedding dresses don't have pockets." Rose informed her husband.
"Oh Rassilon. I'm an idiot!" He said slapping himself on the forehead.
The taxi screeches to a halt and the taxi driver kicks them out, The Doctor slams the door "And that goes double for your mother!" Donna yells at the driver and the taxi drives off.
"I'll have him. I've got his number. I'll have him. Talk about the Christmas Spirit."
"Is it Christmas?" The Doctor asks as he and Rose looks around and are both vaguely surprised.
"Well, duh. Maybe not on Mars, but here it's Christmas Eve."Donna said
"How come you're getting married on Christmas Eve?" He asked
"yeah, I want to know as well." Rose agreed with her husband.
"Can't bear it. I hate Christmas. Honeymoon in Morocco. Sunshine, lovely." Donna explained and then Donna uses Rose's mobile "Once you're done with my phone give it back to me." Rose told Donna.
"we'll get money!" The Doctor said as he and Rose went to an ATM and The man currently using it in front of them is being aggravatingly slow so The Doctor hops from foot to foot impatiently.
Donna said muttering to herself said "Oh, answer the phone!"
"Mum, get off the phone and listen. I'm in..." Donna looks around "Oh, my God... I dunno where I am! It's... it's a street. And there's WH Smith... but it's definitely Earth." Donna said leaving a message and The Doctor and Rose are still waiting to use the cash machine, growing more agitated by the second. Finally the man in front of him leaves. The Doctor darts forwards, casting a furtive look about him before using his sonic screwdriver to retrieve cash from the machine. Donna approaches a woman at random on the street "Excuse me... I'm begging you. I'm getting married, I really am and I'm late and I just need to borrow a tenner and I'll pay you back I promise and it's Christmas."
The Doctor takes the cash. Both his and Rose's eyes are both caught by a row of masked Santa's playing trumpets a short distance away. They watch them, remembering their last encounter with similar Santa's, suspicions aroused.
"Taxi!" Donna said and a taxi pulls up beside her, she converses with the driver for a few seconds. "Thanks for nothing, spaceman and spacewoman! I'll see you both in Court." She said shouting back to the Doctor and Rose and she climbs into the taxi and it drives away. The driver is a masked Santa.
"Donna!" The Doctor shouts after Donna as the taxi drives of and he and Rose looks back at the Santa's playing the trumpets. One of them lowers his trumpet ominously. Now all three of them are held like weapons. Roses uses her sonicscrewdriver on the ATM machine causing money/pounds to fly everywhere and there is mad scramble and confusion as people run around trying to catch the money and stuff it into their pockets and both The Doctor and Rose ran back in the direction of the Tardis.
Donna and the masked Santa drive along in the taxi "I promise you, mate, I'll give you the rest when we get there. Oh, I look a mess." She takes her veil off, trying to catch her breath.
"Hurry up!"
The Doctor and Rose reach the Tardis doors and re-entered the tardis and started to chase the taxi with the tardis.
"Hold on a minute, I said: Chiswick. You've missed the turning." Donna said to the santa disguised robot who was her driver and she had no response from the driver "'Scuse me? We should've turned off back there. We're going the wrong way!"
The Doctor and Rose pummels the Tardis into action with the usual equipment, namely their fists and he uses a hammer, the rotor starts to rise and fall.
The taxi now joins the motorway/highway and cuts across the lanes, causing other drivers to beep their horns angrily.
"What the hell are you doing? I'm late for the wedding. My own wedding. Do you get that?"Donna said, angrily
In the Tardis, Rose traces the taxi's progress on the monitor.
"Turn around! Turn this cab around right now! Are you deaf or what?" Donna yells at the santa driver and lunges forward, pulling the Santa hood off the driver. His mask falls off, revealing a robot underneath, Donna sits back in her seat, shocked "Oh, my God."
She starts pushing the door and window, looking for a way out, trying to attract the attention of other drivers "Help me! Help me! Help me!" She hits the glass of the window "Help me! Help me!"
A man in a red van notices her, looks concerned, but is powerless to help since they're on a motorway/highway.
"Help me! Help me! Get me out! Help me! Help me! I'm being driven by a robot!" Donna shouts.
Sparks fly from the Tardis console and it tilts dangerously "Behave!" The Doctor said, hitting the console with a hammer and the Tardis falls out of the sky just above Donna's taxi, spinning through the air "You are kidding me." Donna said in disbelief and two children stare through the back window of their car, amazed.
The Doctor attaches string to the console and Rose goes over to the doors, string between teeth, and throws it open. The Tardis is in line with the taxi, zooming along beside it on the motorway/highway and Donna stares at her, hands pressed against the window.
"Open the door!" Rose yells to her
"Do you what?" Donna asked, not hearing what the Time Lady said.
"Open the door!" Rose repeated herself.
"I can't, it's locked!" Donna said and Rose uses her sonic screwdriver on the door of the taxi, enabling Donna to push the window down.
"Santa's a robot." Donna said,like she didn't already know, cause they tried to kill her 6 months ago from her and the Doctor's point of view.
"Donna, open the door." Rose said
"What for?" SHe asked Rose.
"You've got to jump!" Rose explains and the robot driver turns his head slightly at this.
"I'm not bleedin' flip jumping, I'm supposed to be getting married!" Donna retorted and the robot puts his foot down and the taxi overtakes the Tardis. Rose pulls on the string, causing random explosions from the console once more and the Tardis accidently bangs the roof of the car of a distressed man before pulling itself back in line with the taxi and the children, still watching, mutter to each other excitedly, Rose struggles to regain his balance, then sonics the robot, disabling it.
"Listen to me, you've got to jump." Rose said.
"I'm not jumping on a motorway." Donna said, obstinately.
"Whatever that thing is, it needs you. And whatever it needs you for, it's not good. Now, come on!"
"I'm in my wedding dress!" Donna yelled telling her that she didn't want to ruin it.
"Yes! You look lovely! Come on!" Rose said sarcastically, exasperated.
Breathing heavily with fear, Donna opens the door and positions herself ready to jump. The Doctor holds out his arms to catch her. The children are chanting 'jump! Jump!' from inside their car.
"I can't do it." Donna said fearfully.
"Trust me." Rose said calmly to her.
"Is that what you said to her? Your stepmother? Did she trust you?" Donna asked Rose.
"Yes, she did. And she is not dead. She is so alive. Now, jump!" Rose said and so Donna, with a scream, jumps and lands on top of Rose in a heap on the floor. The children cheer, the doors slam closed and the Tardis zooms back up into the sky.
The Tardis landed on the roof of some building and Donna looks at her watch. It's just gone half three. The Doctor coughs and splutters as he tries to extinguish the smoke billowing from the Tardis doors.
"The funny thing is, for a spaceship, she doesn't really do that much flying. We'd better give her a couple of hours." He said joining Donna .
"You all right?" Rose asked Donna.
"Doesn't matter." Donna said as she shrugs her shoulder
"Did we miss it?" The Doctor asked her.
"Yeah." Donna replied
"Well, you can book another date..." He said
"Yeah, Donna, you could book another date for your wedding." Rose said as she agreed with her husband.
"Course we can." Donna said.
"Still got the honeymoon." The Doctor told Donna.
"It's just a holiday now." Donna said.
"Yeah... yeah... sorry." He apologizes
"It's not your fault. Neither is it Rose's fault." Donna told him.
"Oh! That's a change." Both the Doctor and Rose said at the same time.
"Wish we had a time machine. Then we could go back and get it right." Donna told them.
"Yeah, yeah. But... even if we did, we couldn't go back on someone's personal timeline. Apparently." The Doctor said and Donna gives him and Rose a suspicious glance before going to sit on the edge of the roof looking towards St. Paul's cathedral. The Doctor and Rose sits next to her, the Doctor removes his jacket and puts it around Donna shoulders.
"God, you're skinny. This wouldn't fit a rat." Donna complained.
"Oh and you'd better put this on." He said as he took out a ring that looked like one for weddings
from his pocket He produces what looks like a wedding ring from his pocket.
"Oh, do you have to rub it in?" She asks him.
"Oi I'm married. Those creatures can trace you. This is a bio-damper. Should keep you hidden." He said as he slips it onto her finger. "With this ring, I thee bio-damp."
"For better or for worse." She added and The Doctor smiles at her.
"So, come on then. Robot Santas, what are they for?" Donna asks them.
"Ah, your basic robo-scavenger. The Father Christmas stuff is just a disguise. They're trying to blend in. We met them last Christmas." The Doctor explained.
"Why, what happened then?" Donna asked.
"Great big spaceship? Hovering over London? You didn't notice?" He asked her,confused on how she did not know about it.
"I had a bit of a hangover." Donna said, dismissively.
"We spent Christmas Day just over there, the Powell Estate, with my adopted family and friends. my stepmother was family cause she raised me for 19 years, Well, she , gone now." Rose said as she pointed at the Powell Estate.
"Your stepmother, who was she?"Donna asks Rose
The Doctor knows Rose doesn't want to answer this and both he and Rose scans the landscape.
"Question is, what do camouflaged robot mercenaries want with you? And how did you get inside the Tardis? I don't know..." He asks her, Donna rolls her eyes
The Doctor pulls out his sonic screwdriver from his his jacket pocket "What's your job?" He asks her
"I'm a secretary." She answers
"It's weird, I mean, you're not special, you're not powerful, you're not connected, you're not clever, you're not important..." He said as he scans her with his sonic screwdriver.
"Rose, your stepmother, just before she left, did she punch your husband in the face?" Donna asks Rose as she whacks his screwdriver aside "Stop bleeping me!"
"What kind of secretary?" He asked Donna.
"I'm at HC Clements. It's where I met Lance. I was temping." She explained
"I mean, it was all a bit posh really. I'd spent the last two years at a double glazing firm. Well, I thought, I'm never gonna fit in here." Donna explains
"And then he made me a coffee." She added.
"I mean, that just doesn't happen. Nobody gets the secretaries a coffee. And Lance, he's the head of HR! He don't need to bother with me! But he was nice, he was funny."
"And it turns out he thought everyone else was really snotty too. So that's how it started, me and him, one cup of coffee. That was it." She added.
"When was this?" He asked Donna.
"Six months ago." Donna answered.
"Bit quick, to get married..." He said.
"Well... he insisted." She said "One day in a crowded bar he asked me to marry him. And he nagged... and he nagged me... And he just wore me down and then finally, I just gave in."
"What does HC Clements do?" Rose asked.
"Oh, security systems, you know... entry codes, ID cards, that sort of thing. If you ask me, it's a posh name for locksmiths." Donna said
"Keys..." the Doctor mused.
"Anyway, enough of my CV. Come on, it's time to face the consequences. Oh, this is gonna be so shaming. You both can do the explaining, Martians." Donna said
"Yeah. We're not from Mars." The Doctor and Rose told her and Donna nods. The Doctor and Rose stands up and the Doctor lends her a hand to help her up.
"Oh, I had this great big reception all planned. Everyone's gonna be heartbroken." Donna said as she gave Rose back her phone.
After they got to the Church where Donna was going to get married at they saw everyone has decided to go on with the reception without Donna. 'Merry Christmas Everybody' by Slade blares out at full volume, everyone is dancing, drinking, eating and laughing. The Doctor, Rose and Donna walk in. Donna looks around at the merriment, thunderstruck. She folds her arms. An elderly woman supposedly Donna's mother spots her first and freezes. The rest of the room soon follows suit until all is silent and all eyes are on Donna, Rose and the Doctor.
"You had the reception without me?" Donna asked, in shock.
"Donna... what happened to ya?" A Black man asked her
"You had the reception without me?" Donna asked again, raising her voice up by a notch and there was a sudden awkward pause.
"Hello! I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said introducing himself, cheerfully, waving his hand, a little.
"And I'm the Doctor's wife, Rose Smith." Rose said introducing herself
"They had the reception without me." Donna said turning to the Doctor and Rose
"Yes, We noticed." They said.
"Well, it was all paid for, why not?" A woman told Donna, reassuring her.
"Thank you, Nerys." Donna said.
"Well, what were we supposed to do? I got your silly little message in the end: "I'm on Earth"? Very funny. What the hell happened? How did you do it? I mean, what's the trick because I'd love to know..." Donna's mother said approaching her and the whole room starts talking at the same time until all Donna can hear is an incomprehensible babble of voices, so she bursts into tears, at which their anger melts into pity. The dark skinned man hugs her and she cries into his shoulder. Everyone applauds, and Donna winks at the Doctor and Rose through her fake tears and they smirk.
Soon the reception party continues as before, except now Donna has joined in with the dancing. The Doctor, leant against the bar, smiles slightly as he watches her. Rose took out her phone and searches up 'HC Clements' and the results stated "Sole Prop. TORCHWOOD" and taps her husband on the shoulder and he puts on his glasses, and she closes her phone as memories now seeming to flood back to both of them and the music becomes more prominent as they watch people dancing and they remember the time they spent with Jackie and then they notices a cameraman in the corner, who is recording the proceedings. The Doctor and Rose goes to the cameraman to see if he taped the time when Donna 'disappeared'
I taped the whole thing, they've all had a look. They said 'sell it to You've Been Framed'. I said: 'more like the News'. Here we are..."The cameraman said as he puts a tape in the camera to show the Doctor and Rose
He plays the tape, the camera is zoomed in on Donna's face as she seemingly disintegrates into golden particles with a scream.
"Can't be! Play it again?" The Doctor and Rose both said in disbelief.
"Clever, minds! Good trick, I'll give her that. I was clapping." The cameraman said before rewinding the tape and both The Doctor and Rose watches the video again, brows furrowed incredulously.
"But that looks like...Huon Particles!" Rose said in disbelief because as far as she and her husband knows is that their species made Huon Particles to go extinct.
"What's that?" The cameraman asked.
"That's impossible, that's... ancient! Huon energy doesn't exist anymore, not for billions of years! So old that..." The Doctor said and his eyes are suddenly drawn to the ring/biodamper he earlier placed on Donna's finger "it can't be hidden by a biodamper!" He finished.
He and Rose ran as fast as they can to a window, and saw that there are the Santas, making their way slowly to the house and then they rush back to Donna "Donna! Donna, they've found you." The Doctor told her.
"But you said I was safe." Donna said as she looked confused.
"The biodamper doesn't work. We've got to get everyone out." Rose explained
"Oh, my God, it's all my family..." Donna said as she looked around at everyone in the room.
"Out the back door!" He said before they ran out the back door, only to be confronted with two of the Santas.
"Maybe not." He said and they ran back inside,the Doctor, Rose and Donna goes over to another window and saw two more Santas. "We're trapped." Donna said, scaredly and they saw that the Santas are holding some kind of remote control, which they raise. The Doctor and Rose looks at the Christmas tree in the middle of the room.
"Christmas trees..." The Doctor said.
"What about them?" Donna asked
THE DOCTOR: "They kill." Rose answered and then they ran to the crowd "Get away from the tree!" The Doctor said.
"Don't touch the trees!" Donna said as well.
"Everyone, do as my husband says Get away from the Christmas trees, everyone get away from them!" Rose said as the Santas are at the ready with their remote controls and "Lance, Lance " Donna said as she ushers a group of little girls away from the Christmas tree.
"Stay away from the tree!" The Doctor ordered everyone and the Santas press a big red button in the middle of their consoles " Do as my husband says, Stay away from the tree!" Rose ordered everyone.
"Oh, for God's sakes, the man and woman are idiots! Why? What's a Christmas tree gonna... oh!" Donna's mother said ad she trails off as she observes the baubles float away from the tree in some kind of weird dance. The Doctor and Rose watches them mistrustfully as they hover above everyone's heads. Everyone chatters excitedly until they start dive-bombing around the room and causing small explosions. Everyone starts screaming and running for cover. Donna pulls Lance down to hide under a table with her.
The Doctor and Rose ran over to the DJ's stand. The Santas are lined up opposite.
"Oi! Santa! Word of advice: if you're attacking a man and a woman with sonic screwdrivers..." He shouts at the robot Santas as he and Rose took out their screwdrivers, he took the microphone "don't let them near the sound system." He finished and then both he and Rose jams their screwdrivers into the amplifiers and it makes a horrible, high-pitched screeching sound. Everyone covers their ears and the Santas vibrate violently until they fall to pieces. The Doctor and Rose removes their screwdrivers and then the Doctor runs to examine the mechanics of the Santas and Everyone begins to get up off the floor.
"All right, Stan... you'll be all right. It's all over." A man with glasses and white hair said to a dark skinned man on the floor, laying on his back.
DONNA (running to two of the children): "Michael? Connie?" Donna said as she runs to two of the children and The Doctor picks up the consoles which the Santas were using and Rose went over to him.
"Oh Senita, do something useful." Donna said to one of the children.
"But what is it?" Donna's Fiance said as he Points at the robot Santas "What were they?"
"Just stop wittering, just help 'em." Donna said to him.
"Look at that, remote control for the decorations." The Doctor said as he showed Rose and Donna the handheld consoles "But that looks like but there's a second remote control for the robots." Rose noted as she examines it "You're right, Rose." He told her before examining the head of one of the robot santas "They're not scavengers anymore. I think someone's taken possession."
"Never mind all that, you're a doctor, people have been hurt." Donna said to him.
"Nah, they wanted you alive, look," He said as throws her a christmas tree decoration:bulb from the christmas tree "they're not active now." He finished
"All I'm saying, you and Rose could help." Donna said
"Gotta think of the bigger picture... there's still a signal!" He said as he held the head of the robot santa to his ear and with that, he and Rose takes off and Donna follows them.
"Donna... who are they? Who is that man and woman?" Donna's mother asked her, scaredly as she follows the Doctor and Rose and Donna doesn't have an answer for her. She follows the Doctor and Rose, leaving her mother and fiance staring after her.
Donna follows the Doctor and Rose outside where the Doctor stands scanning the helmet with his sonic screwdriver.
"There's someone behind this, directing the robo-force." He said
"But why is it me? What have I done?" Donna asked.
"If we find the controller, we'll find that out." Rose told Donna
"Oh!" The Doctor said before raising his screwdriver into the air. "It's up there. Something in the sky."
Soon he lost the signal and ran toward Donna and her fiance"I've lost the signal. Donna, we've got to get to your office, H C Clements. I think that's where it all started. Lance, is it Lance? Can you give me and Rose a lift?" The Doctor said and then he ran off without waiting for an answer.
