(Doctor Who Intro)

Episode 8: Return of the Ghost

(The Tardis materializes and lands in a small alley)

(Roxxy pokes her head out)

Roxxy: I think I did it, I flew the TARDIS right…. I think…

(Roxxy sticks her head back)

Doctor: Well done…. Better than I thought…

Roxxy: Thanks…

Ricky: I can't believe you got me back in this damn box…. On your guy's crazy adventures!

Doctor: Oi, keep talking like that, the TARDIS will have you muckin' around the corridors for months!

Roxxy: Doctor, you keep saying that, but if it's alive…. Where's the consciousness interphase?

Doctor: Don't have one…. At least not one that I'm aware of…

Yale: Well, whatever…. Where and when are we?..

(The Doctor looks at the projection monitor)

Doctor: New York…. Manhattan…. Times Square…. February 12, 2026…

Roxxy: The 21st century?

Doctor: Not bad for your first flight test…

(Ripley walks into the console room)

Ripley: Who knew my sister could fly an alien spacecraft?

Roxxy: How are you here?

Doctor: Picked her up this morning, she took a nap in the bedrooms…

Walter: Hang on, there are bedrooms on this?! Where the hell were they when we were tracing earlier?!

Doctor: Oi, Gave the TARDIS a tune up…. Didn't have time to explain everythin'...

(The eight walk out of the TARDIS)

Roxxy: Wow…. Just like home…

(The eight hear the casual New Yorker talk around time square)

Ricky: Wow…. You weren't kidding…

Roxxy: Didn't mean it like that, but whatever…

Doctor: Oi… come along…

(The eight walk around the city)

Roxxy: Oh… wish we had money…. Would really like to get some food…

Doctor: Are you really hungry?

Roxxy: Hey… I forgot to eat breakfast…

Bridget: We all did…

Ripley: Not me…

Doctor: Give me a minute…. I'll find an ATM…

(The eight hear an explosion in the distance)

Roxxy: What the hell was that?!

(The eight then see a car driving away, guns blazing)

Bridget: Something tells me a heist went off…

(Something stops the car, a dark clothed man)

Roxxy: Ok…. Now…. who…. the hell…. is that?

Doctor: He can't be…

???:(deep voice) Gentlemen, Might I ask you surrender…?

(The men shoot at the dark clothes superhero)

(The bullets do nothing)

???: Please recognize my personal moral code to not cause lasting harm to anyone…

(The superhero knocks out the men in the car)

Roxxy: Oh…. My…. God!!!

(Roxxy shines with excitement)

Doctor: Are you alright?

Roxxy: Sorry…. It's just…. I've always read comics about superheroes and Justice and stuff…. But I never thought I'd see an actual superhero!!!

Ripley: Blame the fact that our dad bought her science kits, chemistry sets, comic books, lots of things a science nerd drools over…

Roxxy: Hey, you like the history comics dad bought you!

Ripley: Because I'm a history nerd…

Walter: Whatever…. Can we focus on the fact a guy just stopped a speeding car without any injury?!

Doctor: He just can't…

Vivian: You know him?

Doctor: Question is, does he remember me?

Yale: What are you talking about?

Doctor: Come on Fam…. Time to meet the man behind the mask…

(The Doctor runs to the TARDIS)

Roxxy: Wait…. Doctor?!

(The seven teens run towards the Doctor)

Roxxy: Doctor, I thought you'd said we'd see the guy behind the mask?

Doctor: We are…. I know where he lives…

(The eight get into the TARDIS)

Lumbard household

???: Mom, where's dad?

Lucy: He's busy Jenn…

Jennifer: He promised to help me with my physics homework!

Lucy: Look, his new job is very demanding of him…

(Lucy hears the TARDIS land in front of the house)

Lucy: He can't be…

Jennifer: Mom, what was that?

Lucy: Nothing that you should be concerned about…

(Lucy runs outside)

(Lucy sees the TARDIS on her front lawn)

Lucy: It can't be the same thing…

(The Doctor pokes her head out of the door)

Doctor: Hello Lucy…

Lucy: How do you know me?

Doctor: It's me, the Doctor, remember?

Lucy: What?

Doctor: Harmony Shoal, Alien brains that live on their own, Grant?

Lucy: You can't be him…

Doctor: I am…. Though I had a bit of a gender swap…

(The Doctor exits the TARDIS)

Doctor: What do you think?

Lucy: How are you that Scotsman?!

Doctor: Regeneration…. Nasty thing…. Useful to keep you alive…

(The seven teens exit the TARDIS)

Roxxy: Doctor, where are we?

(A man exits the house)

???: Sorry, I was busy with my step daughters homework, can we help you?

Doctor: Hello Grant…

Grant: How do you know me?

Lucy: Grant, this is…. The Doctor…. The one we met that night…. she changed…

Grant: Sorry, we don't need a doctor…

Doctor: Doctor Mysterio, remember him?

(Grant gives a shocked face)

Doctor: He's me now…

Roxxy: Doctor, who are these people?

Doctor: That, is Lucy lumbard…. And the other is Grant…. Also known as "The Ghost"...

(Roxxy's eyes widen)

Roxxy: You are kidding me…

Ripley: No… way…

Lucy: Inside now...

(Lucy drags the eight inside)

Jennifer: Mom, who are these guys?

Lucy: Jennifer, this is the Doctor…. An old friend of ours…

Jennifer: Don't even think about taking a blood test with me…

Doctor: Nooo…. Not gonna do that Jennifer…. See you've grown up since last we met…

Jennifer: What, we have never seen each other before…

Doctor: Yes we have, was a white haired, sort of bushy browwed Scotsman…

Jennifer: You're weird…

Roxxy: Not as weird as the situation is here…

Doctor: Right, forgot, Grant, Lucy, Jennifer, this is my fam…. Roxxy, Walter, Bridget, Yale, Vivian, Ricky and Ripley…

(Grant looks at the twins)

Grant: They your kids?

Roxxy: Travel companions…. We travel with her…

Jennifer: You travel with an old woman? You guys are weirder than her…

Ricky: Hey…

Roxxy: Now you know how I felt…

Ricky: Wait, this is how you felt when I did this to you?

Roxxy: Nope, she's way more coordinated than you…

Ricky: What?

Grant: Doctor, is there something wrong?

Doctor: I thought you said you'd put it back on if the world needed you again…

(Jennifer looks at her dad)

Jennifer: What?

Grant: Jennifer, can you go to your room, this is confidential stuff…

Jennifer: Whatever…

(Jennifer walks over into her room)

Grant: Look, The world did need me again…. It's not easy keeping chaos from happening…

Roxxy: So…. Are there any bad guys trying to end the world or something?

Doctor: Ok, Fam, would you mind staying in the TARDIS for a while?

Roxxy: Oh so you're our mom now?

Doctor: Don't make me have to be so…

Roxxy: Fine…

(The seven teens walk into the TARDIS)

TARDIS Interior

Ripley: Oh come on Rox…

Ricky: Why are you calling her Rox?

Ripley: Because it's my sister's real name…

Roxxy: Fine…. It's Roxxanne Summer Rose…. There, happy?

???: What the hell is this place?!

(The teens look back to see Jennifer in the TARDIS)

Walter: When the hell did you get in?!

Ricky: Don't look at me…

Vivian: Not a word of this…

Jennifer: Where the hell am I?!

Roxxy: The TARDIS…

Jennifer: The what?!

Roxxy: The TARDIS!

Jennifer: You're just making up words now!!!

Roxxy: IT'S CALLED THE TARDIS!!!

Jennifer: Why the hell is it like this?!

Yale: How the hell did you get in here?!

Jennifer: Through a secret hatch…. WHAT DO YOU THINK DUMBASS!?

Roxxy: Get the hell out of here!

(Jennifer goes up to the console)

Jennifer: Is this a spaceship?

Roxxy: Not one that you can pilot…

Jennifer: We'll see about that!

(Jennifer pulls the space time throttle)

Roxxy: NOOO!!!

(The TARDIS dematerializes from the front lawn)

Outside the TARDIS

(The three adults run outside)

Doctor: Roxxy, what the hell are you doing?!

Grant: What the hell is going on?

Doctor: My companions just nicked my motor!

Lucy: I get Jennifer out now…

(Lucy walks inside)

Doctor: When they get back, they are in a wop o' trouble!!

Lucy: SHE'S GONE!!!

Grant: What?

(Lucy runs outside)

Lucy: She's not in her room, she's gone!

Grant: Are you serious?!

Lucy: Her window is open!

Doctor: ROXXANNE!!!

TARDIS Interior

(Roxxy spastically runs around the console, flipping switches and pressing buttons)

Roxxy: Because of you now, we're more lost than English man in a Japanese train station!

(Roxxy looks at the projection monitor)

Roxxy: Ok, I hope I'm doing this right…. The Doctor was right, short hops are difficult...

Jennifer: What the hell is happening?!

Roxxy: You pulled the throttle, that's what pulled us away from your house!!

Jennifer: So what now?!

Roxxy: Hope I'm able to land this thing again!!!

(Sparks fly from the console)

Roxxy: GAAAH!!!

Bridget: What's wrong?!

Roxxy: Something is pulling us away from where I'm trying to land!

(Roxxy looks at the monitor)

Roxxy: Hold on…. I'm gonna have to park the TARDIS nearby!!

(Roxxy runs around the console, flipping switches)

Unknown location

(The TARDIS lands in an empty building)

(The teens exit the TARDIS)

Walter: Where are we now?

Roxxy: No idea…. Thanks, Jennifer…. Now because of you, we landed someplace away from the Doctor…. Ohhh…. She's gonna be pissed when we get back…

Yale: Hey we can just explain the situation to her…

(Roxxy's scroll rings)

Roxxy: Oh no….

(Roxxy looks at her scroll, it's her mom calling)

Roxxy: Hi Mom…

Ruby: You ok kiddo?

Roxxy: Kinda…. I landed the TARDIS away from the Doctor, because of some idiot who doesn't know how to listen…

Jennifer: Hey!!!

Roxxy: Look, this is a bad time for calling…

Ruby: Why? Are you in trouble?

Roxxy: With the Doctor, yes…. In danger, always…. But not right now…

Ruby: Alright…. Just wanted to know when you're getting back…

Roxxy: Maybe Tonight…. I don't know…

Ruby: Well, just, call me when you get back…

Roxxy: Will do, love you Mom…(hangs up) Ok, This isn't good…

Ripley: The Doctor is gonna be livid…

Roxxy: Not just the Doctor… Mom is gonna be pissed when she finds out what we do!

Jennifer: Why are you guys so worried?

Ripley: Mom hates it when we're in trouble…. She'd whip our ares if we got into trouble…

Roxxy: I will never forget Harmil's Factory…

Ripley: Don't even remind me!

Walter: What happened then?

Ripley: All you need to know, is that it was scarring and traumatizing…

(Ripley and Roxxy shiver in fear of the trauma)

Roxxy: Never again…

Bridget: So what do we do now?

Vivian: Maybe there's a reason we're here…. We should probably check this place out…

Jennifer: What?

Roxxy: Well…. We were dragged here…. Might as well find out why we're here…

(The eight teens walk within the building)

Floor 1

(The teens walk down to the first floor)

Roxxy: Ok…. Riddle me this…. If we're in a building, and we're on the first floor…. Where's the exit?

(The teens look towards the wall where the exit would be)

Ripley: Ok…. So…. Are we on an alien ship?

Roxxy: Don't know…. Not really an expert on alien spaceships...

Vivian: You've been traveling with the Doctor the longest, how do you not know spaceships?

Ricky: She has a point, how do you not know spaceships?

Roxxy: I'm a ghost nerd, not a space need!

(The eight hear movement humming)

Walter: What is that?

(The eight see a weird robotic like alien)

???: You…. will…. be…. Exterrrrminated!!! EXTERMINATE… EXTERMINATE… EXTERMINAAAATE!!!!!

(The alien shoots a laser blast and misses the teens)

Roxxy: RUN BACK TO THE TARDIS!!!

(The teens dash towards the TARDIS)

(The alien keeps firing at the teens)

(The teens rush back into the TARDIS)

TARDIS Interior

(Roxxy looks around the console)

Roxxy: Where's the damn fast return button?! There has to be one!!

(The TARDIS highlights the switch)

Roxxy: What the?! Alright then!

(Roxxy flips the switch, the TARDIS dematerializes from the building)

Lumbard household

Doctor: Oh they are in soooo much trouble…

(The three hear the TARDIS land on the front lawn)

(The adults run outside)

(Roxxy and the others exit the TARDIS)

Doctor: Mind explaining this then?

Roxxy: Later… we have a situation!

Doctor: Yes we do, you don't steal a Time-Space ship without the pilot, nor anyone you please…

Walter: Doctor, there's something of more concern going on right now…

Doctor: It can wait…

Ripley: No it can't…

Doctor: Yes it can!!

(Roxxy grabs the Doctor by her coat)

Roxxy: DOCTOR, NO IT CAN'T…. THERE ARE ALIENS IN NEW YORK, THAT TRIED TO KILL US!!!!

(Roxxy's eyes turn red)

(Roxxy lets go of the Doctor, her eyes go back to normal)

Doctor: What?

Vivian: There was this weird rubbish can like alien, with spheres on its bottom half and had a laser gun and a plunger for arms!

Ripley: And it said "Exterminate" as it was shooting us!!

Doctor: What?

Roxxy: It has this eye stalk on its head, and lights too…

Doctor: There's no way…. It can't be…

(The Doctor gives a worried expression to the teens)

Yale: Oh I don't like that face…. That's the " We're all in serious danger" face…

Doctor: You eight are very lucky you got out…

Ripley: What was it?!

Doctor: …

Walter: Doctor?

Doctor: …

Roxxy: Doctor, what was that thing?!

Doctor: … A Dalek…

Roxxy: A Dalek? What the hell is a Dalek?

Doctor: The most dangerous creature in the entire universe…

Roxxy: Well, it might have been just one, I mean…. If there are more of those things, how worried should we be?

Doctor: Even just one Dalek, can conquer an entire system of planets!

Ricky: You're kidding?

Doctor: My race fought against them in the Time War, millions had died… millions and millions bodies dead on my planet because of them!

Bridget: So what do we do now?! We can't just sit here…

(Grant runs back into the house)

Roxxy: Oh some help he'll be…. We need someone like a superhero!

(The Ghost lands in front of the house)

Ghost: You asked for me?

Roxxy: H--h--h--hi…. You're t-t-t-th-the Ghost?

Ghost: You called for a superhero…. I came as soon as I could…

Ricky: Hoooooly…

Bridget: Woah…

Doctor: Seriously fam?..

(The others look at the Doctor)

Doctor: Oh come off it… you know who he is…

Roxxy: What?

Walter: Really?

Yale: Doctor…. Are you ok?

Doctor: Grant!...

Jennifer: Dad?

Lucy: Doctor!!!

Doctor: Oi…. It's your fault for not telling her his identity…

Ghost: Doctor…. Listen, we can deal with this later…. Right now, we have to deal with an alien invasion… discreetly…

Doctor: Alright…. Come on "extended" Fam…. Let's get our shift on!..

(The Doctor, Ripley, Ricky, Vivian, Yale, Walter, Bridget, and Jennifer enter the TARDIS)

Roxxy: Trust me, there's more room….

Lucy: I am not going anywhere and neither is Jen…. JENNIFER!?

(Roxxy enters the TARDIS)

(The TARDIS dematerializes)

Lucy: Doctor!!!!!

Ghost: Don't worry, I'll get her back...

The Dalek base

Doctor: Just trust me, so long as you're with me, you're my responsibility…

Jennifer: I can handle myself…

Roxxy: Against those tin cans?

Doctor: Alien mutants inside of a Dalekanium tank shell…

Roxxy: Whatever… Should it even matter why this is bad?

Doctor: I always think I'm rid of these damn things…. Always… never really am…

Walter: Well, what's the plan?

Doctor: I give them a chance to surrender, if they don't take it…. I'll destroy this ship…

Roxxy: Won't New York vaporize?

Doctor: Not if I use The TARDIS shields to keep the explosion in a concentrated area…

(The nine walk into the main chamber)

(The Daleks turn to see the nine)

Doctor: Hello…. Mind if I butt in?

Dalek 1: It… is... the... Doctor, Exterminate!!!

Doctor: Wouldn't if I were you, I'd blow up this ship before I give even one of you the chance to shoot us…

(The Daleks back away)

Doctor: That's better…. Now…. Leave New York…. Fly away and survive another day…. Or don't…. And die on this ship…

Dalek 2: You... do not… possess… the… means… to destroy… the Daleks!!!

Doctor: Oh I do…. And I'm using him as a last resort…. So I'd recommend surrendering or else I'll sick him on ya'...

(The Ghost walks out from behind the Doctor)

Ghost: Please note that under US law…. Genocide is outlawed…. So in retrospect, you will surrender…

Dalek Emperor: We... will not... surrender… to less... superior being!!!

Roxxy: But you have to…. Unless you want your race to never exist…

Dalek Emperor: You... do not control... the Daleks!!!

Roxxy: No…. But we are giving you a chance to walk away, and live…

Dalek Emperor: We do not... surrender... to humans!!!

Roxxy: Never said you had to…. Just have to run away…

Dalek Emperor: Daleks... do not... run... away!

Doctor: Then you leave me with no choice…. Ghost, I know this is against your code, but be with me here, destroy their power core!

Ghost: With pleasure…

(The Ghost flies up and destroys the main power cell)

Dalek 1: Emergency… Emergency… Main... power cells… destroyed… self destruct… initiated!!!

Doctor: That's our que, RUN!!!

Dalek Emperor: Exterminate... the Doctor!!!

(The Daleks shoot at the gang)

Yale: I HATE BEING SHOT AT!!!

Ghost: This vehicle is…

Roxxy: We know, the internal dimensions are larger than the external dimensions!!!

Doctor: Roxxy, the hypo-stabilizers, switch them off!

Roxxy: On it!

Roxxy: Stabilizers off… now what?!

Doctor: The Gyro-oscillator!

(Roxxy turns the Gyro-oscillator)

Roxxy: Turned, next!?

Doctor: Ha ha! See, TARDIS shields save the day…. Now to get you home back to your mother, Jennifer…

Jennifer: Oh come on, I was well hidden…

The Lumbard household

(The TARDIS materializes in the front room)

(Roxxy, The Doctor, Jennifer, and Grant exit the TARDIS)

Grant: Either is fine…

Jennifer: Why didn't you tell me you were the Ghost?

Grant: Jennifer, sweetheart…. I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you…. As a wise man said…. "With great power, come great responsibility…"

Roxxy: Uncle Ben…

(Grant looks at Roxxy)

Grant: They still have Spider-Man in the future?

Roxxy: Who said I was from the future?

Grant: Didn't need to…

Roxxy: Alright, you got me…

Grant: Thought so, Duel soul…
