I ran toward the other doors to help as Jackie ran behind the Doctor, bumping into me in the process.

"What's happening? What are they? What are they?!" She grabbed his arm and he shook it off, moving to the next door. "There's been an accident in time, a wound in time. They're like bacteria taking advantage." He locked the other door, moving on.

"What'd ya mean, time? What are you jabbering on about time?" She glared at him and I sighed.

"Jackie, I know you're confused, but we have no time for-"

The Doctor interrupted me and glared at Jackie, "Oh, I might have known you'd argue. Jackie, I'm sick of you complaining."

"How'd you know my name?" Jackie demanded, and the Doctor rolled his eyes. "Spoilers- I haven't got the time for this,"

"I've never met you in my life!" I went to lock a couple of doors as Jackie was arguing with the Doctor, who seemed to get more annoyed. "Noa and you never will unless I sort this out. Now if you don't mind, and I've waited a long time to say this-"

I smiled and bent down to hide it, as I mouthed, "Jackie Tyler, do as I say," along with him. I looked back up as he pointed toward the back doors, "Now go and check the doors."

Jackie sighed. "Yes sir," She walked toward the doors and he grinned, turning toward me, as a man, I think his name was Stuart- walked toward him. "Should've said that ages ago."

"Pity you didn't," I muttered, and went to check the doors on the other side of the main entrance. I locked all the doors on that side and went back to the Doctor to see if there was something else I could do to help, and heard him talking about the creatures outside. "...Time's been damaged and they've come to sterilise the wound. By consuming everything inside."

He looked down at Rose as I walked toward the two of them. "Is this because?" Rose asked tentatively, "Is this all my fault?"

I shook my head and muttered, "Don't mean to be blunt, but it's totally your fault- although the Doctor had a part to play in it- and me too, I was terrible at convincing you guys to not come here."

Rose didn't seem to hear me as I was standing next to the Doctor and muttering really softly, but the Doctor did, and he frowned at me. I shrugged and looked back at Rose. "Doesn't matter whose fault it is, honestly. We just need to fix everything before things get too late."

Rose nodded and looked at me and the Doctor. "Anything I can do to help?"

"Go and check the doors at the moment- maybe the back doors all the way there- Liza needs to tell me all the possible ways to fix this," The Doctor pointed at the back of the church, in the opposite direction of where we were. Rose frowned and I looked up. "She does?"

"I am?" I raised my eyebrows at him and he nodded. "Yes! You're the only one who knows what the hell's going on and I know for sure that you know the solution to this whole mess,"

"But weren't you the one who was all 'no spoilers whatsoever' literally an hour ago?"

"Yeah, but I underestimated the situation then, I estimate it correctly now so I need your help, and Rose needs to check the doors."

"Why can't she help too?"

"Yeah, Doctor, why can't I help too?" Rose scowled at the two of us and he shrugged. "Well, one, this whole mess is your fault, and two, you need to go and talk to your dad! You were so bent on doing that some time ago, weren't you?"

Rose scowled at him and I looked up again, "Hold up. I thought we clearly established that this whole situation is because of all of us and nobody is to blame alone?"

The Doctor frowned at me and threw his hands up. "Oi, we weren't the ones who fractured all of time by preventing a fixed point from happening!"

Rose glared at the Doctor. "Oh, great, blame me for the whole situation!"

"You were the one who asked if it was your fault!"

"Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys-" I threw my hands up. "Might I remind you that we're potentially about to be erased from existence because some time bacteria things are planning on sterilizing the universe by destroying it? We can deal with whatever the hell this is later, now let's all just focus on defending the church!"

Rose opened her mouth to say something, but the Doctor interrupted her. "She's right. We'll talk about this later, yeah? Now go and check the doors, I'll be there as soon as I think up a solution."

"And I'll check the doors on that side if you guys need me," I walked toward the other side of the church before anyone else could say anything.

I locked up another door as the Doctor literally almost barrelled into me. "Liza, question!"

I moved away as quickly as possible to avoid being pushed down and falling flat on my face. "Okay, what;s got you so excited all of a sudden?"

"The car outside- the one that just disappeared- and I'm assuming you know what the hell I'm talking about because this is an episode and you're basically omniscient when it comes to these-"

"I'm pretty sure I'm not, and yes, I know about the car you're talking about."

"I have some sort of a hunch right now, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong- actually please correct me if I'm wrong- but Pete, he has to go in front of it, right?"

I bent my head down and bit my lip. He put a hand on my shoulders and I looked up. "No and yes. There's another solution, and I hope to God that we can use that one because the other option is what you just said, and I'd like to avoid that as much as possible." Despite the fact that that's what really happens in cannon, but the Doctor really doesn't need to know that.

"Okay, what solution?"

"I don't think I can tell you everything, but I can say that it involves something in your pocket."

He grinned hollowly and threw his hands up. "Something inside my pockets. Something inside my bigger on the inside pockets. The pockets where I've keps stuff I don't even remember. Fat load of help you are."

"You're a Time Lord who claims to have twenty seven brains, so kindly use them and figure it out. Also, just because I'm a nice person and also because we're running out of time- no pun intended- it involves heat."

"But so did the last episode! How the hell am I supposed to make sense of what you just said?"

I shrugged and was about to walk away when he grabbed my arm. "I need you to help me with something, and I'm sure you've bolted every door in this area seven times each."

He pulled me along with him as I muttered about how much he was exaggerating, and jumped as something banged against the door nearby. I grabbed onto the Doctor's arm and he pulled me closer slightly. "Don't worry, they can't get in now that we've locked the doors."

I nodded, still a little uncomfortable, but let go of his arm and walked along with him to the main altar.

"Alright, I need you to lock all the doors here and I'm going to sonic-seal all of them just to save time and to be on the safe side." He pulled open some curtains to reveal more doors.

"How many doors does this place even have?" I muttered, and went on to lock them as the sonic buzzed behind me, the Doctor sealed everything.

"Excuse me, Mister and Liza- is that your name? I heard him call you that, so-"

I turned away from the door I just locked and smiled, "Yeah, that's my name."

"And my name is 'Doctor'," The Doctor turned to him.

"Yeah, Doctor- you both seem to know what's going on."

The Doctor snorted. "Her, yeah, because she does, but me? I'm still getting around the general idea."

"Can you save us?" The woman- Sarah, I think her name was, interrupted, and the Doctor raised an eyebrow at them. He walked toward them and I followed, after locking another door that was nearby.

"Who are you two, then?"

"Stuart Hoskins."

"Sarah Clark."

The Doctor looked down at Sarah's stomach and muttered, "And one extra. Boy or girl?"

Sarah put a hand on her stomach and smiled at it before turning to us. "I don't know. I don't want to know, really."

"How did this all get started?" The Doctor smiled at the two of them. They both smiled at each other before turning to us.

"Outside the Beatbox Club, two in the morning."

"Best time of the day, in my opinion." I smiled, and the Doctor shook his head. "This one's got the most inconsistent sleep schedule in the history of everything in all of time and space."

Sarah laughed, and said, "Street corner. I'd lost my purse, didn't have money for a taxi."

"I took her home."

"And what? Asked her on a date?" The Doctor grinned, raising his eyebrows.

"Wrote his number in the back of my hand." Sarah nodded, blushing a bit.

Stuart smiled at her, "Never got rid of her since. My dad said-"

The two of them paused and glanced at each other. I closed my eyes and bit the inside of my lip as one of the creatures outside shrieked (I'd conveniently forgotten what the hell they were called as usual, judging by the fact that this was another episode I'd only seen once). "Look, I don't know what this is about, and I know we're not important-" Sarah looked close to tears, but she swallowed and held them back as much as possible.

"Who said you're not important?" The Doctor asked incredulously. "Honestly, you're acting like this one-" He nodded at me and I scowled at him. "Excuse me?"

He looked down at me. "Oh, come on, we both know it's true-" He turned back to Stuart and Sarah, "Anyway, back to the point. I've travelled to many places, done things you could never even imagine- but you two. Street corner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I've never had a life like that."

He looked at them sincerely and smiled, "Yes. I'll save you."

They smiled at him and Sarah looked close to tears. Stuart held her hand and looked at the two of us. "Thank you so much,"

I smiled at them. "Any time."

"Anyway, how did you two meet?" Sarah looked at the two of us. I looked up at the Doctor and burst into laughter and he grinned. "He literally just appeared out of nowhere when my best friend almost got killed by a mirror-"

"Yeah, she was cross with me that day. Yelled a lot, called me a broody teenager, the usual. And now I don't wanna get rid of her at all."

Sarah and Stuart gaspd. "Was your friend alright, though?"

I smiled at them. "Yeah, she was. We saved her, but only after I yelled at him and we got into a huge argument."

"So, is this what you both do? Travel around and follow disaster?"

I shrugged and tilted my chin. "Well, sort of? I don't know, honestly, this guy is an automatic disaster magnet and by disaster, I mean potentially world threatening all the time."

Stuart and Sarah exchanged a glance and stared at us, amazed. "So you're both like superheroes, then- saving the world everywhere you go."

The Doctor and I started denying that immediately- talking over each other and bumping hands as we threw them about.

After we finally locked/sealed the doors of the church and literally made the place more defended than a fortress, the Doctor dragged me along with him to go and meet baby Rose ("Come on, you'll love her, it'll be like talking to a human puppy, and I know you love puppies!").

"Hi honey!" I smiled at baby Rose, who looked at me, wide-eyed. "Yeah, I know, you're probably like 'Who are these people and why are they staring at me?'- I'm Liza, and this is the Doctor. You'll meet us in the future, and I know you're gonna enjoy that!"

The Doctor grinned at me and looked back at Rose. "Yeah, and we're trying to fix a potentially catastrophic situation. Now, Rose, you're not gonna bring about the end of the world, are you?" She cooed and he leaned in, "Are you?"

Rose just stared at him, her eyes wide, and I smacked his arm. "I think you're scaring her with all the 'end of the world' stuff."

"No, she finds it exciting, wondering why and how she did that because she was here the whole time." He looked up and said that as if it was the most obvious thing in the whole world.

I shrugged, "I don't know, I'm not the one who speaks baby here," I turned to Rose and started speaking in a baby voice. "But if you really said that, well, spoilers, as Auntie bushy blonde always says,"

"One, never speak like that again because you sound like an idiot, even though Rose seems to think it's funny, and two, who the hell is Auntie bushy blonde? You;re a brunette, and your hair is far from bushy." I smirked at him as he raised his eyebrows and looked more confused than ever. "One, I'm offended, and two, spoilers."

At that moment, Rose came walking to us and stood beside us, looking at herself. I looked up at her, "You know, according to the Doctor, baby you seems to be extremely excited about the end of the world."

"And how the hell does he know that?"

"He speaks baby."

"No he doesn't."

"Oi!" The Doctor looked up, offended, "I speak everything! Anyway, Jackie gave her to us to look after. How times change."

"No pun intended." I muttered, and he grinned at that.

Rose looked at us and smiled to herself. "I'd better be careful. I think I just imprinted myself on Mickey like a mother chicken."

"The love that spans across all time-" I muttered, "Has a nice ring to it."

Rose reached out to touch baby Rose, and the Doctor pushed her away as I slowly pulled the baby holder thing away from her. The creatures outside shrieked outside, almost like they wanted this to happen.

The Doctor looked at adult Rose warningly. "No, don't touch the baby. You're both the same person. That's a paradox, and we don't want a paradox happening, not with those things outside."

"But like, isn't this already a paradox?" I asked him, "You know, we've changed the events of Pete's death and he's not dead anymore, so Rose wouldn't ask to see him before he died and this won't happen- you know what I mean, time's really confusing."

"Yeah, but a paradox within a paradox- the ultimate all-you-can-eat buffet for those things," He pointed toward a stained glass window, where a creature flew across, screeching. "Anything new, any disturbance in time makes them stronger. A paradox-" He noticed the look on my face and rolled his eyes, "Okay, a paradox within a paradox might let them in."

"I wasn't trying to correct you, genius," I muttered, and looked back at baby Rose, who was looking at our exchange, interested.

"I know that, genius." He shot back, turning to Rose, and I snorted. Yeah, as if.

"I can't do anything right, can I?" Rose snapped.

I didn't know what to say- part of me wanted to be blunt, but the other part disagreed. The Doctor, however, seemed unbothered as he just gave his answer directly. "Since you ask, no, so don't touch the baby."

"I'm not stupid!" Rose snapped, and I sighed, burying my face in my hands as I knew that another argument was gonna ensue.

"You could've fooled me." The Doctor replied in the same tone, and I sighed again, sliding my hands up my face and running them through my hair, which probably looked like a terrible mess. "Guys, please, not now."

The Doctor looked at me and back at Rose. "Alright, I'm sorry. I wasn't really gonna leave you on your own."

"I know."

"Between the three of us, though, I haven't got a plan, except for Liza's vague clues-"

"Which you conveniently didn't work out-"

"Excuse me while I was trying to defend the place and take care of a baby here."

"Why are the two of you arguing now?" Rose scowled at us and looked at me accusingly. "You were the one who told us to stop fighting."

"Excuse me, have you met the two of us?" The Doctor gestured to the two of us, "This is how we normally talk! If one of us is being nice to the other, that means we've screwed up big time and want to butter the other one up to deliver the bad news!"

I nodded, "You know, come to think of it, I agree."

"For the first time in the history of all of time and space, Liza Cole agrees with me. The historians will have a heart attack!"

"The historians will have a heart attack!" I mimicked him and rolled my eyes. "You think you're so funny."

"Doctor, clues, plan!" Rose urged, and I nodded. "Yeah, you better work on that- also, if you want another hint, you took the thing I'm talking about back from Rose recently."

"What, the TARDIS key?" He raised an eyebrow. He then put his hands in his pockets to pull it out and flinched, pulling his hand back and throwing it on the ground. "Heat- that's what you meant! I was thinking it was the central heating again!" He grinned at me and then turned to Rose as he pulled off his jacket to reveal a green sweater underneath.

He bent down and reached for the TARDIS key, wrapping it in his jacket. "It's telling me it's still connected to the TARDIS!"

I bent down next to him and smiled at his expression- which was a huge childlike grin. "Speaking of, I think she's gonna be really mad at the three of us when we get back to her after this mess."

The Doctor shuddered, "Oh, I dread to think- she'll end up pushing us all into the swimming pool and dump flour all over us the moment we step out."

"You're saying it like it's happened to you before." Rose said, and he looked at her. "Who said it's not?"

I gaped at him and he grinned at me. "You might want to contain your shock to yourself- it's much worse than you imagine."

I shrugged, and turned back to the key. "Anyway, your plan- we've still got a world to save if we need Sexy to be safe and sound."

"Oi! Only I call her that!"

A/N: Boy, do I love writing people arguing/ I have no idea why, but I do- especially when it's like a really snarky, sarcastic kind of a thing with two extremely sassy people lol. Also, I've updated for three consecutive days! *cue to Weeping Angels never scaring me anymore while Daleks become cute cuddly pandas*

Anyway, this chapter was heavy on dialogue and I was doing a writing sprint with Abbie Emmons (a YouTuber- check her out, she's amazing and has the world's best writing advice imo) which could probably be how tf I'm actually updating again. Anyway, the next chapter is gonna be the final one for this episode, and I'm debating on whether or not I should add an original one next (although there's a huge chance I might) and after that- THE EMPTY CHILD! I can't wait for Jack to come into the picture, and I swear I'm really going to enjoy writing him (and hopefully not butcher his character).

Anyway, It;s like 2AM rn and I have a really messed up sleep schedule and zero rerets about that, so ig this is me signing off!

Responses to reviews:

Isabelnecessaryonabicycle: Honestly, I'm addicted to writing arguments because I feel like they're so interesting and love the character dynamics! And honestly, I love writing Liza's relationship with Nine, especially since he's so snarky and sassy and we don't get Nine level sassy until Twelve lol
