"You can't do that. I wasn't…we're in flight!" the Doctor stuttered, completely bewildered as to how the woman got into his ship "That is….that is physically impossible! How did…?"
"Tell me where I am" the woman cut in "I demand you tell me right now where am I?"
"You're inside the TARDIS", Harmony told her.
"The what?" the woman asked.
"The TARDIS", the Doctor repeated.
"The what?"
"The TARDIS!" the Doctor said again, louder this time.
"The what?"
"It's called the TARDIS", Imogen replied as the Doctor turned to the console to try and figure out how this woman had gotten inside while they were in flight.
"That's not even a proper word. You're just saying things", the bride said angrily.
"How did you get in here?" Imogen asked wondering if the ginger had any idea.
"Well, obviously, when you kidnapped me", the woman snapped. The Doctor moved in front of Imogen, not liking how the woman turned her anger on her. She didn't deserve that, not after just losing her best friend. Besides, it was a perfectly valid question. "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"
"Who's Nerys?" Harmony asked.
"Your best friend", the bride said.
"Hold on, wait a minute…what are you dressed like that for?" the Doctor questioned eyeing her outfit.
"I'm going ten pin bowling. Why do you think, dumbo? I was halfway up the aisle!" Harmony suppressed a smile at that. She'd always thought that Donna's sass/sarcasm had come from Imogen but now it seemed that the woman had always been that way. "I've been waiting all my life for this. I was just seconds away, and then you…I don't know, you drugged me or something!"
"We haven't done anything!" the Doctor protested.
"I'm having the police on you! Me and my husband, as soon as he is my husband, we're going to sue the living backside off ya!"
The Doctor just shook his head and went back to the controls. When Donna noticed the doors, she made a bee line for them. "Wait a minute!" Imogen shouted chasing after her but it was too late. Donna threw open the doors and stared at the supernova outside.
"You're in space", Imogen informed her "Outer space".
"This is my space ship", the Doctor said as he and Harmony joined Imogen and Donna at the doors "It's called the TARDIS"
"How am I breathing?" Donna asked.
"The TARDIS is protecting us", the Doctor replied.
"Who are you?" Donna questioned looking at the trio.
"I'm the Doctor. This is Imogen and Harmony. You?" the Doctor said introducing him and the two women.
"Donna", Donna said.
The Doctor looked her up and down "Human?" he asked.
"Yeah" Donna replied "Is that optional?"
"Well, it is for me", the Doctor said.
"Are you three aliens?" Donna asked looking at them.
"Nope I'm human", Imogen replied. For the moment Harmony thought.
"I am an alien, so is Harmony", the Doctor said making Imogen look at Harmony questionably. Seems like there was some stuff she missed while she was unconscious.
"Later", Harmony said, meaning she'd explain after they'd gotten Donna back where she needed to be. Imogen nodded at that.
"It's freezing with these doors open", Donna said shivering. With that the Doctor slammed the doors shut and goes back to the console.
"I don't understand that and I understand everything! This…this can't happen!"
"Well it has happened Doctor, the proof is in front of you", Imogen said gesturing to Donna. Suddenly the Doctor grabbed an ophthalmoscope and used it to look into Donna's eyes.
"Some sort of subatomic connection?"
"Nope", Harmony said knowing enough about the TARDIS to know they would've been warned about that.
"Something in the temporal field?"
"Uh…no", Harmony said after quickly checking the scanner.
"Maybe something pulling you into alignment with the Chronon shell"
"Chronon shell is fine", Harmony said checking the controls. Imogen noted how Harmony seemed to understand what the Doctor was saying and how comfortable she seemed to be at checking the controls, like she'd had experience in a TARDIS before.
"Maybe something macro mining your DNA within the interior matrix"
"I think he just made that up", Imogen said quietly to Harmony.
"He did", she confirmed.
Imogen opened her mouth ask her a question when Donna suddenly slapped the Doctor. "What was that for?" he asked clutching his cheek.
"Get me to the church!" Donna yelled.
The Doctor tossed the ophthalmoscope away before turning to the controls "Right! Fine! I don't want you here anyway! Where is this wedding?"
"Saint Mary's, Hayden Road, Chiswick, London, England, Earth, the Solar System", Donna replied. She then spotted a purple blouse draped over the railing. She snatched it up "I knew it, acting all innocent", she said striding over to the Doctor, showing him the blouse "I'm not the first, am I? How many women have you abducted?" not even waiting for a reply, Donna rounded on Imogen and Harmony "and you two! Are you a part of it? Do you lure them in for him?"
Imogen didn't answer her, just watched the blouse that Donna was waving around in her hands. The Doctor looked up from the controls and saw the shirt in Donna's hands "That's our friend's", he said quietly.
"Where is she, then? Popped out for a spacewalk?" Donna asked sarcastically. As her attention was on the Doctor, she missed the pained expression on Imogen's face. But the Doctor didn't and neither did Harmony. The curly haired ginger put an arm around the brunette as the Doctor said
"She's gone"
"Gone where?" Donna pressed.
"It doesn't matter Donna", Harmony said reaching out with her other hand, taking the garment from Donna as she turned to her.
"Why doesn't it matter? Where did she go?" Donna asked as Harmony passed the shirt to Imogen, who clutched it tightly in her hands.
"We lost her", Imogen said quietly fighting back the tears that threated to fall. She walked over to the railing and carefully draped the shirt of it. The Doctor went over to her when he heard her sniffle. Donna watched as he hugged Imogen realising that they had to have lost their friend very recently and that she had been someone they cared about a lot. She felt really bad for shouting at them now.
The Doctor kissed the top of Imogen's head and went back to the controls. "Right, Chiswick", he said. He wanted to drop Donna off as soon as he could so that he could concentrate on Imogen.
"I said Saint Mary's. What sort of Martians are you? Where's this?" Donna asked not recognising her surroundings. The Doctor didn't answer her, he was more concerned with the TARDIS. Harmony was looking at the blue box in concern too. The Doctor had put in the right destination, she'd double checked it to make sure and yet they still didn't end up in the right place.
"What's wrong?" Imogen asked seeing the worried looks on the Doctor's and Harmony's faces.
"I don't know. I think she's recalibrating or something", Harmony replied going back inside to check the console. The Doctor and Imogen followed her back inside, the Time Lord going over to the console as well. Imogen watched as they checked over the controls feeling bad that there wasn't anything she could do to help.
She glanced over to the door to see Donna stick her head inside for a moment before pulling back with a rather overwhelmed look on her face. "Donna?" Imogen said going over to the door. She stepped out to see Donna running away. She turned back to the Doctor and Harmony "Uh guys? Donna's making a run for it", she informed them before chasing after the bride.
"Leave me alone. I just want to get married", Donna said as Imogen caught up to her.
"Come back to the TARDIS", she said.
Donna shook her head "No way. That box is too weird", she said.
"Oh! That's all?" Donna said sarcastically as the Doctor and Harmony caught up with them. Donna checked her watch "Ten past three. I'm going to miss it"
"You can phone them. Tell them where you are", Harmony suggested.
"How do I do that?" Donna asked.
"Haven't you got a mobile?" the Doctor asked.
"Doctor she's in a wedding dress, they don't have pockets", Imogen pointed out "actually I have one you can use".
"Actually you don't. It kinda got broken", the Doctor told her.
"Oh", Imogen said knowing her meant that it had gotten broken when she hit the wall.
"This man you're marrying. What's his name?" Harmony asked wanting to steer away from the subject of Canary Warf.
"Lance", Donna replied with a look on her face that told Imogen she was very much in love with this Lance. Well, she'd have to be in order to marry the guy.
"Good luck, Lance", the Doctor muttered earning him a light tap in the arm from Imogen.
"Oi! No stupid Martian is going to stop me from getting married. To hell with you!" Donna shouted before running off again.
"I'm…I'm not…I'm not…I'm not from Mars", the Doctor said feebly.
"Come on!" Imogen said grabbing his hand and pulling him along as they and Harmony chased after Donna.
Harmony and Imogen watched the Doctor and Donna tried to hail a taxi only to have them drive past time and time again. The brunette shook her head, stepped up to the curb, sticking her fingers in her mouth and letting out a piercing whistle. When a taxi pulled over, they all piled in the back. As there was a lack of space in the back due to the four of them and Donna's dress, Imogen ended up on the Doctor's lap. Not that either of them minded particularly.
"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 as he drove.
"You know it'll cost you, sweetheart? Double rates today", the cabbie said.
"Do you three have any money?" Donna asked.
"Nope sorry", Harmony said apologetically.
"Me neither", Imogen said regretfully.
"Um…no. And you?" the Doctor asked.
"Pockets!" Donna exclaimed gesturing to her dress. The taxi screeches to a stop and the trio got out. "I'll have him. I've got him number. I'll have him. Talk about the Christmas Spirit", Donna grumbled.
"Is it Christmas?" the Doctor asked surprised.
"Well duh maybe not on Mars, but here it's Christmas Eve", Donna said before spotting a phone box and hurried toward it.
"How come you're getting married on Christmas Eve?" the Doctor asked.
"Can't bare it. I hate Christmas. Honeymoon in Morocco. Sunshine, lovely", Donna explained. She pulled the door open and stepped inside. "What's the operator?" Donna asked picking up the receiver "I've not done this in years. What do you dial? 100?"
The Doctor took the receiver, flashed his sonic over it and gave it back to Donna. "Just…just call direct"
"What did you do?" Donna demanded.
"Something…Martian. Now, phone. I'll get the money!" the Doctor grabbed Imogen's hand and pulled her off to the nearest cash machine. Imogen shook her head as the Doctor shifted on the spot as they waited for the man in front to finish. He really didn't seem to have that much patience. When the Doctor started hopping from foot to foot, Imogen tapped him on the arm.
When he looked at her, she smiled and pulled him down for a kiss. The Doctor immediately kissed her back, winding his arms around her. "The machine's free", Imogen said as they pulled away, both a little breathless. The Doctor gave her one more kiss before turning to the ATM. Imogen turned away with a smile on her face. It was then she noticed Harmony looking at something. "Whatcha looking at?" she asked joining the ginger.
"Those Santas. There's something about them…" Imogen followed her gaze and stiffened when she saw a trio of familiar looking masked Santas.
"It can't be", Imogen breathed.
"You know what they are?" Harmony asked.
"Pilot Fish", Imogen replied. She suddenly looked at Donna who was flagging down another taxi.
"A feeling?" Harmony asked recognising the look on her face.
"Uh huh", Imogen answered.
"Go", Harmony said.
"You want me to go?" Imogen asked surprised. That was kind of the last thing she'd expected considering the 'instinct' at Torchwood ended up with her and Rose being trapped in a room with the Cult of Skaro. Who wanted to exterminate her when they found out she was responsible for going medusa on the Emperor.
"I do", Harmony replied "Go".
Imogen nodded and ran towards Donna who was speaking to the driver of the taxi. The bride-to-be pulled the door open and shouted at the Doctor "Thanks for nothing, spaceman! I'll see you in Court"
Donna then got into the Taxi, yelping when Imogen practically threw herself in the vehicle, slamming the door shut. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Making sure you get to the church safely", Imogen replied settling into the seat.
"Hold on a minute. I said Chiswick. You've missed the turning", Donna told the driver when he missed the turn "Excuse me, we should've turned off back there" no response from the driver "We're going the wrong way!"
Imogen watched the driver for a moment before lunging forward, yanking the hood back. "Oh, my God", Donna gasped seeing that the driver was actually a robot. She turned to the window and started hammering at the glass, yelling "Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!" Imogen dug into her pocket hoping she still had the sonic on her person and that it wasn't broken from her collision with the wall.
"Thank you Harmony", the brunette said pulling the sonic from her pocket, thankfully intact. As if the robot knew what she was about to do, it put its foot down, jolting Imogen forward "really?" she grumbled as the sonic fell out of her hand.
"Help me! Help me! Help me! Get me out!" Donna yelled unaware that Imogen was currently trying to pick up her sonic that had rolled under the driver's seat.
"Gotcha!" she cheered managing to grab it as the TARDIS came into view.
"You are kidding me", Donna gaped.
"That's not something you see every day", Imogen remarked. Donna stared at her wondering how she so calm.
"Open the door!" the Doctor shouted.
"Do you what?" Donna shouted back not really hearing him properly.
"Open the door!" the Doctor shouted again, this time the girls heard it.
"I can't, it's locked!" Donna yelled back. Imogen flashed her sonic on the door allowing Donna to push the window down. "Santa's a robot!"
"You don't say", Imogen said sarcastically which Donna ignored.
"You need to open the door", the Doctor said.
"What for?" Donna asked.
"Uh so we can escape", Imogen said in a 'duh' tone.
"I'm not bleedin' jumping I'm supposed to be getting married!" Donna said shrilly. The robot put his foot down. With some pretty nifty manoeuvring on the Doctor's part, and with Harmony's help, he managed to catch up with the Taxi again. He sonics the robot disabling it.
"You two need to jump", the Doctor said again.
"I'm not jumping on the motorway", Donna insisted.
"Yes you are", Imogen said before giving Donna a shove out of the Taxi. Thankfully the Doctor caught her as she collided with him. She took a breath before launching herself out of the taxi. Like Donna, she knocked the Time Lord onto his back. The doors slammed shut and Harmony smoothly piloted the TARDIS away from the busy motorway.
"You ok?" the Doctor asked Imogen not getting up from the grilled floor just yet.
"Yeah", Imogen replied.
~...~
"How are you holding up?" Imogen asked sitting next to Donna on the roof that the Doctor had parked the TARDIS. Harmony and the Doctor were busy trying to put out the small fire that had erupted on the console that occurred the moment they landed.
"Well I missed my wedding", Donna said gloomily.
"Sorry about that. Couldn't you book another date?" Imogen asked.
"We could", Donna replied.
"You've still got the honeymoon", the Doctor added sitting down next to them. Harmony sat on Donna's other side.
"It's just a holiday now", Donna said still sad.
"Yeah…yeah…sorry", the Doctor said.
"It's not your fault", Donna assured him.
"Oh! That's a change", the Doctor remarked.
"Wish you had a time machine, then we could go back and get it right", Donna said.
Imogen, Harmony and the Doctor exchanged looks at the "Well…even if we did, we couldn't go back on someone's personal timeline. Apparently", Harmony said earning a suspicious look from Donna.
"You'd better put this on", the Doctor said pulling out a simple gold ring from his pocket.
"Do you have to rub it in?" Donna asked eyeing the ring in the Doctor's hand.
"Those creatures can trace you. This is a bio-damper should keep you hidden", the Doctor explained holding the ring out to her. Donna took it and slipped it onto her finger.
"So the robot Santa's, what are they for?" she asked.
"Your basic robo-scavanger. The Father Christmas stuff is just a disguise. They're trying hard to blend in. Gen and I met them last Christmas", the Doctor said.
"Why, what happened then?" Donna asked curious.
"…Great big spaceship? Hovering over London? You didn't notice?" the Doctor asked.
"I had a bit of a hangover", Donna shrugged.
That's one way to miss an alien invasion Imogen thought. "We spent Christmas Day just over there" Imogen said nodding to the Powell Estate "with my friend and her family. It was nice" Imogen smiled as she remembered "Dinner…crackers with bad jokes in them…" her smile dropped knowing that she was never going to have Christmas with the Tylers again "but they're gone now, it won't ever be the same"
The Doctor took her hand, knowing where her thoughts had gone. "Your friend…who was she?" Donna asked carefully.
"I think the more important question is, what do camouflaged robot mercenaries want with you?" Harmony asked going back to the matter at hand.
"And how did you get inside the Tardis?" the Doctor added "I don't know. What's your job?"
"I'm a secretary", Donna replied. The Doctor got out his sonic with his other hand and scanned the ginger.
"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…" the Doctor said.
"This friend of yours. Just before she left, did she punch you in the face?" Donna queried as Imogen tugged the sonic out of the Doctor's hand, seeing Donna getting annoyed.
"What kind of secretary?" Harmony asked.
"I'm at HC Clements. It's where I met Lance. I was temping", Donna replied and then she launched into an explanation as to how she met Lance "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 going to fit in here. And then he made me a coffee" Donna smiled, recalling it "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…" Donna smiled ever more as she remembered how she and Lance used to laugh and joke around at the office "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. So what about you two?"
"Sorry?" the Doctor asked, confused.
"The cash machine wasn't that far away, I saw that kiss", Donna eyed both the Doctor and Imogen "So how did you two meet?"
"It was at my friend's flat. Just met by accident and we ended up saving the world from living plastic", the brunette answered.
"Technically you saved the world", the Doctor corrected.
"By accident. I just happened to kick the dummy holding the anti-plastic into the vat", Imogen said.
"Doesn't matter. You still saved the world", the Doctor insisted "And me…in more ways than one".
Imogen blushed slightly at the way the Doctor was looking at her "so how long have you been together?" Donna asked noting the way the Doctor was looking at Imogen. She could tell that they were very much in love.
"Not long", Imogen replied "how about you and Lance?"
"We met 6 months ago", Donna answered.
"Bit quick to get married", the Doctor remarked.
"Well…he insisted. And he nagged…and he nagged me…And he just wore me down. And then finally, I just gave in"
Why do I get the feeling it was the other way around? Imogen thought.
"And what does HC Clements do?" Harmony asked getting back on track.
"Oh, security systems. You know…entry codes, ID cards, that sort of thing", Donna replied "If you ask me, it's a posh name for 'locksmiths'".
"Keys…" the Doctor mused.
"Anyway, enough of my CV. Come on, it's time to face the consequences. Oh, this is going to be so shaming. You can do the explaining, Martian boy, Martian girl and Imogen", Donna said.
"We're not from Mars, Donna", Harmony told her.
Donna nodded and the Doctor stood up, helping up both Donna and Imogen. Harmony got to her feet on her own. "Oh, I had this great big reception all planned. Everyone's going to be heartbroken"
When they arrived at the reception, the party was in full swing…without Donna. "Ok I didn't see that coming", Imogen remarked watching them all dance, having a good time. Donna's mother Sylvia spotted her first and then the rest of the room soon followed after. Now that they were all aware that the bride-to-be had finally arrived, the entire room went silent.
"You had the reception without me?" Donna asked in disbelief.
"Donna…what happened to ya?" Lance asked walking over with a look of concern on his face.
"You had the reception without me?" Donna repeated, her voice raising up a notch.
An awkward pause followed her words until…
"Hello!" the Doctor said cheerily "I'm the Doctor, this is Imogen and Harmony".
"They had the reception without me", Donna said turning to the trio.
"Yes, we kinda gathered that", Harmony said.
"Well, it was all paid for. Why not?" a blonde woman, Nerys spoke up.
"Why not? I'll tell you why not. You don't have a reception when one of the two people it is for is missing. Doesn't matter if you've paid for it", Imogen said deciding that she didn't like the blonde.
"Who the hell are you?" Nerys demanded.
"I'm Imogen. I'd say it's nice to meet you but that would be a big fib as I don't like you" Imogen put her arm around Donna "Donna on the other hand, I do like. And if you've got anything bad to say about her, I suggest you keep it to yourself. Unless you want to deal with me" Imogen eyed them all making sure they knew she was being very serious. Donna had just been through quite a bit in a short space of time and she wasn't having anyone having a go at the ginger.
Harmony and the Doctor lean against the bar watching the reception as it carries on where it left off, except now that Donna has joined in with the dancing. "Imogen's enjoying herself", Harmony commented noticing the brunette dancing away, with a little boy and girl. Though it wasn't dancing in the proper sense as it was her just doing random moves looking rather silly but Imogen didn't look like she was that bothered as the children where happy.
It rather reminded her of how the Doctor, in his next incarnation, did the same thing at Amy and Rory's wedding. Her hearts clenched at the thought of those two, she still missed them so much. She knew that is was going to be just as hard on the Doctor and Imogen to lose the Ponds as it was to lose Rose. And there was nothing she could do to stop that from happening, it was part of her personal timeline. A timeline which cannot be altered in anyway, like she told the Doctor in her previous incarnation.
"Yeah she does", the Doctor agreed. He then noticed a man holding a smart phone "can I borrow that?" he asked and the man nodded, handing it over.
The Doctor put his glasses on and did a WAP search for H C Clements. Harmony shook her head when he got out his sonic, using it on the phone to speed up the search. He was never one for patience except when it came to Imogen. "What's wrong?" Harmony asked seeing him stiffen, practically glaring at the small screen.
Without a word the Doctor showed her the screen and Harmony's eyes widened.
HC Clements. Sole Proprietor – Torchwood.
"Torchwood", she said angrily. Of all the companies HC Clements had to be involved with, it had to be the one responsible for Imogen almost dying and for the loss of Rose Tyler.
On the dance floor, Imogen spotted a camera man and headed over "excuse me you wouldn't have happened to tape Donna's disappearance by any chance?"
"Oh, I taped the whole thing" the camera man said putting the tape into the camera "They've all had a look. They said: 'sell it to You've Been Framed'. I said: 'more like the News'. Here we are…" he plays the tape, the camera closing up on Donna's face as she turned into golden particles with a scream.
"Play it again", Imogen said.
The man nodded and replayed the footage "Clever, mind. Good trick, I'll give her that. I was clapping"
"That can't be", Imogen said looking at the screen. The answer for what those gold particles were had popped into her head just like most of the alien stuff she seemed to know, except this answer gave her a really bad feeling. "I'll be back in a sec" Imogen made her way over to the Doctor and Harmony "there's something you guys need to see", she told them. They went over to the camera man where Imogen had him show the other two the footage.
"But that looks like…Huon Particles!" the Doctor exclaimed.
"That's what I thought they were but I needed another opinion", Imogen said. Harmony nodded in understanding.
"What's that then?" the camera man asked.
"That's impossible. That's…ancient! Huon energy doesn't exist anymore, not for billions of years! So old…" the Doctor turned, his eyes finding the biodamper on Donna's finger "that it can't be hidden by a biodamper!"
Imogen rushed over to Donna while the Doctor and Harmony ran over to the window "They've found you", she told the ginger.
"But the Doctor said I was safe", Donna cried.
"The bio-damper doesn't work", Imogen said as the Doctor and Harmony joined them.
"We've got to get everyone out of here", Harmony.
"My God, it's all my family…" Donna breathed looking around at everyone.
"Out the back door!" the Doctor grabbed Imogen's hand and they all ran out the back door only to be confronted by two Pilot Fish "Maybe not".
"We're trapped", Donna gasped seeing more Santa's outside.
"Oh no", Imogen breathed seeing the remote in their hands, immediately recognising it. She looked over at the Christmas tree in the middle of the room, her mind flashing back to last Christmas. "Everyone get away from the tree!" she shouted running into the crowd, trying to push as many people as she could away from the evergreen. The Doctor, Harmony and Donna followed her example.
"Don't touch the trees! "Donna said ushering a group of children away.
"Get away from the Christmas trees!" the Doctor shouted pushing people away.
"Stay away from the trees!" Harmony called doing her best to help keep people away.
"Oh, for God's sakes" Sylvia rolled her eyes, not believing them at all about the danger "they're idiots! Why? What harm's a Christmas tree going to…oh!" she trailed off as the baubles began to float away from the tree in some kind of weird dance.
The Doctor, Imogen and Harmony mistrustfully eyed them as they floated above their heads. Everybody else just chattered about them excitedly not aware of the danger until…
The baubles suddenly dropped down, dive bombing around the room causing small explosions. The wedding guests started screaming and running for cover. Donna grabbed Lance and pulled his down to hide under a table. Harmony got hold of the little boy, Imogen had been dancing with and ran for a table, pushing the child underneath to protect him.
The Doctor grabbed Imogen's hand and started pulling her towards Donna and Lance when she tugged him towards the DJ stand instead. They ducked behind it as a bauble exploded right by it. "You know if they had any sense they wouldn't let either of us get near the sound system", Imogen said another explosion went off.
"Whys that?" the Doctor asked eyeing the Santas as they lined up opposite, readying for the next attack. In response Imogen pulled out her sonic, waving it at him. "Oh, fantastic", the Doctor said with a smile as he realised her plan. He gave her a quick kiss before standing up and pulling out his sonic "Oi! Santa! Word of advice. If you're attacking a man with a sonic screwdriver…" he held up the microphone "…don't let him near the sound system"
The Doctor held his sonic next to the amplifiers and it makes a horrible, high-pitched screeching sound. Imogen along with everyone else held their hands over ears to try and block out the awful noise. The Santas shook violently on the spot until they fall to pieces.
"You ok?" he asked Imogen as she stood up.
"Yeah", she replied rubbing her ears. The Doctor took her hand and led her over to one of the Santa's.
"Look at that. Remote control for the decorations" the Doctor said showing Donna as she came over with Harmony.
Imogen picked up the head and examined it "is it just me or does that look like a remote control?" she asked.
"Yeah it does", Harmony agreed taking a look.
"Looks like someone's taken possession of them", Imogen said giving the head to the Doctor so he could have a look.
"Never mind all that. You're a doctor. People have been hurt", Donna said.
"Got to think of the bigger picture", the Doctor said holding the head to his ear "There's still a signal!" and with that he took off. Imogen and Harmony followed him outside. "There's someone behind this, directing the roboforms", the Doctor said scanning the head with the sonic screwdriver.
"But why is it me? What have I done?" Donna questioned having followed the trio outside.
"If we find the controller, we'll find that out", Imogen replied.
"Oh!" the Doctor said raising his sonic into the air "It's up there. Something in the sky". Donna, Imogen and Harmony follow his gaze as he looked up at the sky.
