For a moment, the Doctor stood there in the control room, trying to figure out how he would get to the zombies. He looked to the floor to see the mess of wires below his feet and grinned. It might not work, but it was worth a try.

Jumping in to action, the Doctor threw a floor panel away and crawled under. There it was; that shocking wire. He grabbed it and yanked it apart, too much in a hurry to do it neatly with his sonic screwdriver. Immediately after yanking the wire apart, the zombies and Rose appeared right in front of him. Surprised it actually worked, the Doctor fell back to see the Rose zombie glaring at him intensely.

"What was that for?" she demanded. The Doctor stood up hurriedly, brushing his hands on his jacket.

"We've got a problem outside," he explained. She scowled.

"We've got a problem inside," she retorted. The Doctor scowled back.

"The problem outside is more immediate."

Rose's zombie held his intense glare for a moment before relaxing slightly.

"Fine. Show us the problem."

The Doctor nodded his approval and rushed outside, the undead and Rose following him. Once he met up with Jack, he turned and pointed at the dinosaur. The zombies turned and the Doctor zombie's eyebrows rose.

"Ah," he said. The Doctor turned back to look at them.

"Now, since the undead can't die…" he started.

"We don't know that," Rose's zombie interrupted. The Doctor glared at her again, his nostrils flaring slightly.

"Since the undead can't die," he repeated, "you three are going to get rid of this dinosaur."

The zombies were silent. The Doctor sighed.

"If Jack, Rose and I get eaten, I can't help you get home."

The zombies were still silent. After a moment, the Doctor zombie stepped forward.

"I'll do it."

The Doctor nodded at him.

"Thought you would."

Without a further word, the Doctor's zombie walked up to the dinosaur. The monster noticed and eyed him, sizing him up. Then, before anyone could react, the beast snatched him up with his mouth. The Doctor's zombie was gone.

"NO!" Rose's zombie screamed. His eyes wide, the Doctor stared at her. But… he thought desperately. Suddenly the Doctor's zombie was back, in front of the dinosaur, a truly shocked expression on his face. The real Doctor grinned widely.

"Ha!" he exclaimed. "I told you the undead can't die!"

Rose's zombie turned to stare at him, contempt written all over her face.

"All right," she agreed, "the undead can't die. But what about the half-dead?"

The Doctor's grin vanished as he stared back, uncomprehending. Slowly, his eyes widened.

"Don't you dare," he hissed through gritted teeth. The Rose zombie held his gaze a little longer before turning back to him. The real Rose suddenly walked forward and past the Doctor zombie, directly in front of the dinosaur, who was staring at the Doctor's zombie, baffled. The beast cocked his head slightly as he looked at Rose. The Doctor zombie turned and caught Rose's zombie gaze. The two of them nodded barely and looked to Jack's zombie, who nodded also. The real versions of the Doctor and Jack glanced at each other, confused.

Suddenly a piercing scream cut through the air. Jack gasped and clapped his hands on his ears, feeling his body tense with pain. The Doctor saw the scream was emitting from Rose before shoving his fingers in his ears and stumbling back with pain. For what seemed like an eternity, the scream continued, never wavering, never breaking for breath. If either of the men had the strength to look, they would've seen the dinosaur falling to the ground, withering and twitching in pain. Finally the dinosaur grew still and the scream stopped.

Warily, the Doctor pulled his fingers from his ears and looked up to the dinosaur to see it was dead. A horrible feeling bubbling in his stomach, he ran to Rose, holding her shoulders gently. With her blind eyes, she stared at him, completely silent.

"Rose," he said gently, knowing she couldn't hear him. She blinked at him and suddenly collapsed in his arms. He caught her and looked up to the zombies who were staring at him. Anger boiling up inside of him, he glared at them, too much in a rage to speak. Rose's zombie looked away from his gaze and to the girl in his arms. Rose stood up looking completely recovered, except for her glazed eyes, and looked at him briefly before walking over to join the undead.

"Now," Rose's zombie said sternly, "if you would excuse us." And with that, Rose and the zombies walked back into the TARDIS. After watching until the door closed behind them, the Doctor turned around to stare at the dead beast before him.

"What the heck was that?" Jack asked, coming up behind him. The Doctor shook his head.

"I don't know. It sounded oddly similar to a banshee," he replied. Jack raised an eyebrow.

"And you would know how a banshee sounds like…how?" he asked. The Doctor looked at him.

"Met one once. Pretty girl. Didn't know she was a banshee 'til she started screaming, though."

Jack's eyebrows rose higher and he smiled slightly, amused. "How long did it take for you to find out?"

The Doctor glanced at him again before looking away. "Well, it was pretty late into the night," he replied. Jack snorted, trying not to laugh. The Doctor shot him a sideways look.

"What?" he demanded. Jack bit his lip as he fought down his laughter.

"You…" he said, "like me!"

The Doctor glared at him. "No."

Jack grinned. "C'mon. Admit it."

The Doctor's glare intensified. Then he looked away. "She was quite pretty!" he argued defensively. After a moment's thought, he added, "And I was drunk." Then he jumped as Jack erupted in a barking laughter.
