(A/N I'm back! Did you miss me?
To Everyone: Thank you sooo much for your reviews, you prompted me to get off my lazy backside and write. For which I am eternally grateful! I am trying to update quickly to catch up with the series so here are two more chapters.
Same rules apply as before: If it isn't funny, go away and consume something very sugary. Like…sugar, that'll do.
Reviews most welcome!
Flames (not that there are going to be any!) will be given to the Doctor, to help him to blow some more things up.
Disclaimer: Despite the fact that it is my birthday, no one gave me Doctor Who! Go talk to the BBC, not me... Also don't own Mystery Inc. (maybe that's a good thing...)

3 – Die in a dungeon… in Cardiff!
So what's the prescription today, Doctor? Let's go meddle with the timeline some more. How does 1860 sound? Good, because we're not going there. His timing's off by nearly a decade. So… what's there to do in Victorian Cardiff?
You could go to the theatre, go to a speech by Charles Dickens, or nearly get killed by some aliens from across the universe.
The aliens. Like I said, every time. Does Rose have an alien fetish or something?
Investigation, Mystery Inc. style: Let's all split up and search for clues! Rose goes and checks out the old biddy who just 'fainted', while Trouble-on-legs aka our friendly Time Lord goes to talk to the dude on stage. Who insults his jumper. Warning: Do not insult the Time Lord's choice of clothing – he gets stroppy. While he's involved in a study of Random-gas-alien-that's-pretending-to-be-a-ghost, he doesn't notice Rose following the people carrying the woman outside.
Outside- Rose demonstrates her amazing powers of perception: 'Omigod! She's dead!'. At the same time she doesn't notice the person sneaking up behind her until it's too late. I.e., when she gets the chloroform pressed to her mouth. I suppose she can only be reasonably expected to notice one important clue at a time. But she gets herself Rose-napped and shoved in the hearse with the aforementioned dead body.
Just as the hearse drives off, who should come running out of the building looking for a certain 21st century teenager? Only our very own friendly alien, who for a Time Lord has the worst sense of timing ever, so just misses stopping the hearse. So, like in all car chases, he jumps into a nearby carriage and yells: 'Follow that car! Err…hearse!'. But what's this? Charles Dickens wants to come too? That's ok; the Doctor's a fan. And tells him so.
So they save Rose from the Random-gas-alien-possessed-walking-corpses. Who weren't actually trying to kill her. Of course not. They're just a bit lost. All they want is to take over the world, I mean borrow some corpses for a while, and then they'll leave. Rose isn't so sure about this and I agree with her. Since when have random aliens ever kept their word and stuck to the bargain? But Trouble-on-legs and Random-expendable-female-character-that's-somehow-the-key-to-it-all think it's fine. And since I don't really get a say in this, Rose is out-voted.
Whooo! A séance! Spooky! Well, not really, because they're not really ghosts. What message is this sending to kids? Ghosts don't exist, they're just gaseous aliens from the other side of the universe. And they wonder why the kids have nightmares.
After the gas aliens cunningly trick Random-expendable-female-character-who-is-in-fact-the-key into standing in the one spot they want her: 'Come over here, it'll help us to blow up the world! I mean…save us! Yeah, that's right, it'll help to save us!', (A/N now that was cunning!), they proceed to show their true colours (a pretty silvery-blue).
Once installed in the corpses that are lying around (what else do you find in a morgue after all?) Gelth-people kill the undertaker/owner of the house. Finally! They did something right! That dude was really getting on my nerves. The Doctor and Rose back into a cell, complete with barred door (what's one of those doing in a morgue?). Last-Time-Lord eventually realises his mistake and admits to Rose that he was wrong, not all aliens should be taken at face value – most of them are out to take over the world or enslave the human race or something equally nasty.
Because this episode has got Trouble-on-legs in, and he's tried to help, everyone knows they're going to end up nearly getting… you guessed it:
Strangled
Possessed
Gassed
And then blown up.
They only don't because Random-expendable-female-character-who's-the-key finally expends herself. Then, after she's died, she kills all the evil gas aliens. How, is apparently not going to be explained this episode. Or ever. Which again, is annoying.
But they've been gone a while, so they'd better get back before Rose's mum starts to worry. They hop inside the
'Trouble' And Rose - Death Instead (of) Snogging (thank you, FireOpal, who came up with this!).
So they leave and Rose can change out of that rather ridiculous outfit. And our Time Lord might change his jumper… if you're lucky.

Summary of the Synopsis: They save the world, but nearly get blown up in the process. (A/N Wait a sec, this sounds familiar…)
