We walked toward Jordan Road, hiding behind the wall. The past versions of the Doctor, Rose and I were standing in front of the road as they were waiting for Pete's car to come. "Right, that's the first us. It's a terrible idea, two sets of us being here at the same time,"

I opened my mouth to say that we could just turn around and leave, but he put a hand up, "I know you're gonna suggest we turn back, Liza, but we let whatever happen happen properly. If he's attacked by Cybermen in the middle of the whole thing and has his death prevented, we let it happen."

"Well, that's-"

"What did I tell you about sneak previews? Anyway, Rose, like I was saying, just be careful that they don't see us. Wait till she runs off and till they follow, then go to your dad."

I took a deep breath as the car came into the street, The Doctor hadn't listened to me- we were in for a horrible 'adventure' whose outcome I knew and they didn't even bother listening to me. Absolutely brilliant.

The car stopped and Pete was looking for the vase. "Oh God this is it," Past Rose said, and present Rose said, "I can't do this."

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to, but this is the last time we can be here,"

The silver car came into the road as Pete was about to get off. This is it. Rose suddenly ran toward her father, successfully ignoring literally everything the Doctor and I had warned her against. The Doctor stepped forward, "Rose, no!"

"No point in doing that, it'll be too late by the time you try to stop her," I muttered, inaudible even to the Doctor (hopefully, the guy had Super Time Lord hearing abilities).

Rose caught Pete and pulled him out of the car's way, saving his life while the past versions of us disintegrated. I shook my head as the two of them slowly got up. "I did it, I saved your life,"

Pete slowly stood up and looked around at the car. "Blimey, did you see the speed of it? Did you get his number?"

I shook my head as the Doctor looked at me. "This was what was gonna be happening?"

I nodded. "I'm literally this close to screaming 'I told you so', but that's not gonna make things any better so I'm refraining from it," I looked up at his scowl. He shook his head and looked back at Rose and Pete, who were talking.

"That's a great name. Good choice. Well done," Rose smiled. I pressed my lips together and ran a hand through my hair.

The Doctor inhaled sharply beside me. "Why would she even do that? I offer her all of time and space, and now she causes a paradox,"

I shrugged, "I don't know, maybe because you actually agreed to come back here despite me clearly telling you to avoid this because with the other option, time can be rewritten in a less universe-threatening way?"

"We're facing a catastrophe and you're more concerned about passive aggression. Typical ape behaviour." He folded his hands and scowled.

I imitated him and leaned against the wall. "We're facing a catastrophe and you're more concerned about insulting other species. Typical Doctor behaviour."

Rose looked back at us, and I grinned and waved awkwardly, as I knew that the Doctor was probably glaring daggers at her- just to neutralise the effect- although I'm pretty sure that just made things worse. I, for one, would appreciate something comedic beside a glaring Doctor, because, well, the only thing scarier than angry Nine was angry Eleven- and well, nobody would want to be on the receiving end of either of those two cases- but I didn't know if Rose would.

I adjusted my ponytail as Pete invited us into his house. "Right, there we go, sorry about the mess. If you want tea, the kitchen's down there," He pointed in the direction of the kitchen, "Milk's in the fridge," He turned to us, "Well, it would be, wouldn't it? Where else would you put the milk? Mind you, there's always the windowsill outside. I always thought if someone made a windowsill with compartments, you know, one for milk, one for yogurt- make a lot of money out of that. Sell it to students and things. I should write that down-" I couldn't help but smile at Pete's rambling- reminded me too much of a specific Time Lord who was having a grumpathon at the moment (for good reason, but it was still a grumpathon-). "Anyway, never mind that,"

He nodded and was about to walk into the other room, "Excuse me, I should go and change." He walked into the other room as Rose went to the dining room, me following her. I looked back at the Doctor, who was glaring at Rose. I frowned and motioned for him to come, and walked off.

"All the stuff Mum kept. His stuff," She picked up a trophy and looked at it, before putting it back again, "She kept it all packed away in boxes in the cupboard. She used to show me when she had a bit to drink." She smiled, nodding at the stuff, "Here it is, on display. Where it should be."

I smiled at her and looked back at the Doctor, who was still glaring at her. I raised my eyebrows and gestured to her but he still continued to glara. I shook my head and turned back to Rose, who was now showing us a bowling trophy. "Third prize at the bowling. First two got to go to Didcot."

She then looked down at a crate which had two plastic cartons in it and bent down to see them. "Health drinks! Tonics, Mum used to call them. He made his money selling this Vitex stuff. He had all sorts of jobs, he was so clever."

I shrugged, "You know, the way you talk about him, he kinda reminds me of someone," I subtly nodded at the Doctor, and she grinned. The Doctor, however, didn't notice as he was too busy staring at Rose with a blank look.

She then went to look at some blueprints on the table. "Solar power. Mum said he was gonna do this," She straightened up and looked at us, "Now he can."

I looked back at the Doctor, who was still staring at her with the same expression he'd been having since Rose saved Pete. Rose, who seemed to think that it was something else that was bothering him, said, "Alright, I'll tell him that you're not my boyfriend," I shook my head at her warningly.

"When we met, I said 'Travel with me in space', you said 'No'. Then I said 'Time Machine'." I shook my head and pretended to be interested in one of Pete's bowling trophies while listening to their argument.

"It wasn't some big plan. I saw it happening and I thought, 'I can stop it'." Rose shook her head as I 'inspected' a bowling trophy, turning it around in my hands.

The Doctor shook his head and smiled hollowly. "I did it again. I picked another stupid ape. I should've known. It's not about showing you the universe, it never is. It's about the universe doing something for you."

"So it's okay when you go to other times and you save people's lives but not when it's me saving my dad."

"I know what I'm doing, you don't! Two sets of us being there made it a vulnerable point."

"But he's alive!"

"My entire planet died! My whole family! Do you think it never occurred to me to go back and save them?"

I put the trophy I was examining down and went to stand next to the two of them. "Will the two of you shut up! There's a lot I have to say to both of you, honestly, and that you should've listened to me first but the damage is already done, so here goes-" I turned to Rose, who was staring at me agape. I took a deep breath. "Rose, we're time travellers. We make ripples, not tidal waves, and what you did today was a huge tidal wave- but it can be fixed and the important thing is that you don't do something like this from now on."

I turned to the Doctor, who was still having the same blank expression. "Doctor, I swear- okay, well, there's a lot that she did wrong, but she's not an experienced time traveller-"

"You started travelling with me after she did and even you're more careful with paradoxes!"

"I've seen enough of the show to know what's right and what isn't!"

"It doesn't matter! Everyone knows that time travel has consequences and that even the smallest change could ruin everything!" He turned to Rose, who was glaring at him. "Seriously, though, even Liza's got more common sense than you and she eats ice cream for breakfast!"

I honestly didn't know whether to take that as an insult or a compliment, but I pretended to ignore the comment because we had bigger problems at hand.

"Honestly, I get it! For once, you're not the most important man in my life! And I don't even see why you should be so bothered since Liza's the most important person in your life!"

I looked up at the two of them and frowned, "That is so untrue, what were you even thinking?!"

"Have you seen how he acts around you, honestly!"

"No, you're misinterpreting this-"

The Doctor held his hand out to Rose, "You really think that's why? Let's see how you get on without me, then, give me the key." Rose hesitated. "The TARDIS key. If I'm so insignificant, then give it back to me."

I let out a huge breath, "Seriously, do we have to do this-"

"Yes, Liza, we should." He turned back to Rose, who scowled at him. "Alright then, I will." She pulled her key out of her pocket and gave it to him.

"You've got what you wanted, so goodbye, then. Liza, you coming?"

I threw my hands up as he walked toward the door, "Do we seriously have to do this? We've got bigger problems to deal with!" Which could've been avoided easily if you idiots would've listened to me.

But as usual, they ignored me as they kept shouting at each other, The Doctor pulling me out of the house as Rose slammed the door shut.

"Seriously? You didn't even make an effort to set things right and you're just leaving her with a paradox to deal with?!" I scowled at the Doctor as we walked on the sidewalk to go to the TARDIS.

"She caused it, she deals with it, not our problem," He shrugged and walked forward. I walked faster to catch up with him. "One, can you stop walking so fast, I literally need to run and catch up, and two, you're the one with a strict motto that we don't walk away when people are in trouble!"

"I also have a motto of not interfering in events and just being a witness!" We turned into the alley near Jordan Road where we parked the TARDIS, and the Doctor reached into his pockets for his keys.

"No you don't, that's just some sort of a nonsensical ruse! You're the Doctor, you'll literally turn back and save all of reality just because a child starts crying!"

The Doctor turned around, scowling. "No, I won't! The Doctor you know is gone! He died in the Time War and you're stuck with me now! We're leaving in the TARDIS- or at least I am, you're welcome to stay back if you want to, although I can't see why."

He walked forward toward the TARDIS, and I shook my head as I followed. If I remembered correctly, something happens to the TARDIS and we wouldn't be able to leave because of that. "But you can't leave in the TARDIS!"

"Yes I can," He put the key into the keyhole and turned it, and the click of the door unlocking sounded. "This is me leaving in the TARDIS and you're welcome to come as well if you like."

He opened the doors and went in, but came out again almost immediately, his eyes wide and frantic. "But- it's-"

I raised my eyebrows and walked toward him. He pulled me along and pointed at the TARDIS- or, well, what used to be the TARDIS, since there was nothing inside anymore. "That's what I said. You can't leave in the TARDIS because it's not there anymore."

"But- that's- it's"- He then looked at me, his eyes wide. "Paradox- time going all wrong because a dead man isn't dead anymore- Rose!" He grabbed my hand and ran back in the direction of where we came from. "Wrong way, she's at the church!"

He dragged me along with him as he made a bunch of quick turns, me stumbling along the way like a bumbling idiot. I couldn't ask him to be a little more careful- that would mean going slower and well, we couldn't afford to do that, especially judging by the fact that the love of the Doctor's life was in danger.

For one, I was basically living every Doctor Who fan's dream, but, to be honest, running for your life (or well, Rose's life, in this case) is zero fun whatsoever. My legs hurt, my hair was blowing all over my face, and I skipped breakfast for three episodes in a row. But we had to run- Rose was in danger and if anything happened to her, it would devastate the Doctor.

After a few painful minutes of running, we reached the church where the two people Rose said were getting married. Rose was looking at Pete and Jackie, who seemed to be arguing about something. The Doctor let go of my hand as he ran toward Rose. "Rose!"

She turned around, a smug look on her face- which disappeared the moment she saw the two of us basically barrelling toward her like we were being chased by a horde of three-headed CyberDaleks. "Get into the church!"

She looked up, where a monster was materialising. "Don't look at that, just run, for God's sake!" I yelled, as the bat-like creature became visible and screeched. Rose screamed as she saw it, and the Doctor ran even faster as it flew toward her and pushed her out of the way.

I came to a screeching halt and ducked (in possibly the most embarrassing way possible, but since the other alternative was dying, it wasn't that bad honestly) as the thing flew above me. I fell to the ground and stood up as the Doctor started yelling at everyone to get into the church.

But, well, that just caused even more commotion since more of the bat thingies materialised and everyone started screaming, increasing the chaos. The creatures swooped down and everyone panicked even more. "Get in the church, they're weak around old stuff!" I yelled, pushing through the crowd to stand in front of everyone. People were gonna die- I didn't remember whom, but they were, and I had to prevent that from happening.

"She's right, in the church!" The Doctor yelled,

One of the creatures swooped down toward us. "Sarah!" A guy wearing a grey suit yelled, running toward us, but the Doctor held a hand out, "Stay inside!"

The creature turned around and was about to head off to kill one of the people there- or at least that's what I vaguely remembered. I stepped forward and ran toward the creature. "Liza, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" The Doctor yelled from behind me.

The creature turned around and flew toward me, screeching. I screamed and ran away, trying to keep it chasing me and not pay attention to the rest of the people. "Liza!" The Doctor and Rose screamed, and I ducked, the creature flying almost directly above me.

Adrenaline was flowing through my head, clouding everything else that was going on. I couldn't feel anything except for the pounding in my head, and was about to run off again, but the creature turned around and flew toward the church again. "No- what? That's not supposed to be happening, you're supposed to be following me!" I yelled, and ran behind the thing, trying to get it's attention.

I ran back toward the Doctor and Rose, who were right behind the creature, which attacked a man on the ground and devoured him. "No!" I screamed, amidst several dozen people. The creatures seemed to be distracted enough, and the Doctor seemed to notice as well.

He pointed toward the church, "In! Everybody!"

This time, nobody disagreed, and everyone rushed toward the church doors, as the last creature seemed to fly down and swoop toward us. I ran in behind everybody, checking to make sure everyone was safe inside before running in myself (or, well, being shoved in by the Doctor).

The Doctor came in last, and just as the other creature was plunging at us, he slammed the doors shut and locked them.

I turned around, breathing heavily. Everyone was in a panic, talking amongst themselves or using their phones to call for help. I looked at the windows, frowning as the creatures outside continued screeching and flying around. Someone grabbed my hand, and I turned around to see that it was the Doctor, who didn't even seem to react to whatever he was doing as he looked around the place. "They can't get in. Old windows and doors. Okay, the older something is, the stronger it is. What else?"

My eyes widened and I nudged the Doctor. He looked toward the window as one of those creatures flew across, screeching. The Doctor let go of my hand and turned to the others. "Go and check the other doors! Move!"

A/N: Okay, this is definitely a heart attack moment for all of you here- I've updated on two consecutive days for the first time in Rassilon knows how long. Also, I haven't referenced the Capaldi era in this one at all (Massive lie, there's one reference, guess where it is)!

Anyway, I think this is a bit shorter than the others (maybe, maybe not), but it's above 2.5k words, so ig I'm happy about that- idk why I said that but if you guys feel like it's shorter- I'm sorry.

Looks like Liza's got a bit reckless- and two 'I told you so' moments in the span of an afternoon- what do you guys think? Please let me know, and I really hope I can update this often in the near future!

Isabelnecessaryonabicycle: Hahaha she's really gonna give him a piece of her mind after the episode gets over! Also honestly I love people arguing with the Doctor too because tbh a companion who just keeps agreeing with the Doctor all the time is boring imo
