AN ~ This is a part 2 to the last chapter, 'Klup' which, if you didn't notice, was set after chapter 9 'Ambushed' where Jack shows up and the Doctor offers him Christmas dinner on Klup.

I should explain: Klup is the last name of the author (or editor or whatever) of my maths book and I just couldn't help using it! XD

Anyway, twenty minutes to spare! (for those reeeeaaaally close to the date line who also stay up until midnight...) Anyway, I did it! Whoot! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Prompt 25: Christmas Day

Characters: Everyone!

.o.o.o.

...Not Klup

"He still can't drive, can he?" Martha snorted with laughter.

"Nope," River agreed, watching with the Doctor's former assistant as he tensely awaited which dial was going to go AWOL first once they had disappeared from Bannerman Road.

Suddenly she realised this sea of people wasn't going to last with the Doctor's driving.

"Honey, the brakes!" River cried, trying to get to the console in the thick crowd.

Suddenly the TARDIS lurched, throwing her back into a crowd of people and almost sending K9 down the stairs. The Doctor laughed and grabbed a handhold on the side of the console.

"Hold on tight, everyone!" he cried.

Amy, Rory, Sarah-Jane, Jack and Luke immediately did as he suggested.

"I hate you!" River cried as she was almost flung down the stairs.

"No you don't!" the Doctor called back.

"You should install airbags in this thing!" Mickey suggested, grabbing onto the railing and trying to catch Martha before she hit it too hard.

"It's not a 'thing' – Amy, I'm busy, back me up here!"

Amy was in hysterics.

"It is a time machine, Master Smith," K9 explained, apparently unfazed by the fact that he was sliding all over the place.

"What the hell are you doing?" Martha cried as she was flung out of Mickey's grasp and across the console floor.

"She's getting excited. Never had this many people before." The Doctor explained this with one foot up on the console, trying to put extra force into pulling a lever. "I'm trying to -" he paused to groan as he heaved it in the right direction "- land her."

Almost immediately, the TARDIS stopped groaning. Around the room, his guests straightened up and attempted to fix their hair or their dresses, or just generally make sure they didn't have any bruises or broken bones, but the Doctor simply adjusted his bow tie and strode towards the door with gusto.

"And now, I give you the best hot chocolate this side of the Medusa Cascade. I give you more kinds of roast meat than you can imagine. I give you pudding that has started and ended interplanetary conflict. I give you Klup!"

With a grand flourish, the Doctor flung both doors open to reveal what looked like a junk yard; steaming piles of something, huge stacks of something else with massive bits of metal sticking out all over the place. Little creatures that looked somewhere between kangaroo and stray cat prowling the grounds.

"I give you...not-Klup," the Doctor edited. "That's rather anti-climactic."

Sarah-Jane, however, was already emerging from the wardrobe, tugging a pair of boots on and hitching up her dress. She waved her Sonic Lipstick in his face and grinned.

"Come on, everyone. Let's go!"

It hadn't been what they were expecting, but judging by the murmurs and disappearances into the wardrobe, they were happy to go with it. In a minute or two, the entire Klup-bound party was awaiting the Doctor out the front of the TARDIS.

"Okay, not-Klup it is!" The Doctor clapped his hands, grabbed his jacket, and left the time machine.
