A/N: Hello, everyone!
Goodness, I am so excited to officially get this story started!
I'm sorry it took so long to get this episode published. It's been a few months since I published the Prologue and Interlude, and I do apologize. ️ I won't bore you with a long explanation because I'm eager to get this episode going.
P.S. ~ The 2nd Guardian and 9th Doctor's ship name shall be known as Gemopher (Gemma and Christopher).
Anyway...
Without further ado, I present to you... "Daisy and Rose"!
Enjoy! 😘
Inside, Tyler flat, Daisy and Rose's bedroom, Morning...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP B–
"Mm." Rose Tyler stirred awake, rolling over and smacking her and her sister's alarm clock to stop it beeping before sitting up and looking over towards the other side of the bedroom. "Zee."
The mass of blankets on the other bed in the room shifted before a blonde head poked out, its owner opening one eye. "Morning."
Rose just giggled at Daisy before sliding out of bed, her sister not far behind as they began to get ready for the day.

Inside, Tyler flat, Living room...
As she sipped her morning tea, Jackie Tyler smiled slightly from her spot on the sofa when she saw her daughters rush out of their bedroom, Rose grabbing her bag from the back of a dining chair as Daisy zipped up her dark purple hoodie before she grabbed her bag and checked to be sure that her camera was in it.
"Bye." The fraternal twin sisters said to their mother, each of them pecking her on the cheek before rushing to the door.
"See you later!" Jackie called just before the door closed.
•••
Outside, London street...
"See you at lunch!" Daisy called to Rose as they hopped off the bus while it slowed down, Rose going towards Henricks department store while Daisy headed towards the photography studio that was across the street.
•••
Inside, Henricks, Shop floor...
Rose carried a pile of clothes, sighing slightly as she looked rather bored while trudging through the first half of her work day.
•••
Inside, Photography studio...
"That's perfect, Aubrie. Now just hold little Edith against your hip and look at her and not at me." Daisy instructed as she snapped pictures of a mother and her little one year old daughter. She smiled slightly when she saw the little girl boop her mother on the nose, making her grin. Daisy smiled and took that opportunity to snap a photo of that perfect little moment before moving on.
•••
Outside, Trafalgar Square, Day...
On their lunch hour, Rose giggled at her boyfriend, Mickey Smith, as they and Daisy sat next to a fountain.
Daisy grinned, snapping a couple of photos of her sister and Mickey as they teased each other, Mickey doing a little dance and spinning around as Rose laughed at him.
•••
Soon after...
"Bye." Rose gave Mickey a quick kiss before they and Daisy all went their separate ways to continue their day.
•••
Inside, Henricks, Shop floor, Evening...
Rose set another pile of clothes down on a display table just before a flash caught her attention, making her spin around to see Daisy standing there, camera in hand.
"Hello!" Daisy grinned at her.
"Trying to blind me with the flash on that thing?" Rose giggled, shaking her head as she made sure the clothes were where they should be on the table.
"Just happy the work day is over." Daisy shrugged, slipping her camera back into her bag.
"This is a customer announcement. The store will be closing in five minutes. Thank you."
"Come on, better go." Rose motioned for Daisy to follow her, Rose quickly grabbing her bag before she and Daisy made their way to the front doors of Henricks.
"Oi!" A security guard waved a plastic bag in front of Rose's face.
Rose gave him a look, then sighed and took the bag before glancing at Daisy. "Come with me?"
"Sure." Daisy shrugged before the two of them headed for the back elevators, Rose pressing the button for the basement.
•••
Inside, Henricks, Basement...
"Wilson?" Rose called as she and Daisy stepped out of the lift, Daisy looking around the dimly lit basement and not really liking the creepy vibe she was getting. "Wilson, I've got the lottery money." Rose called again as she walked up to an office door, Daisy following behind her. "Wilson, are you there?" She asked, knocking on the door. "I can't hang about 'cause they're closing the shop. Wilson!" Still no answer. "Oh, come on." She grumbled.
Suddenly, there was a noise that came from further down the corridor, making both Rose and Daisy look that way.
"Hello?" Daisy asked wearily as she and Rose headed down the corridor.
"Hello, Wilson?" Rose called again. "Wilson, it's Rose. Hello? Wilson?"
When the two sisters reached the end of the corridor, Rose opened a door to the storage room and flipped on the lights, which allowed them to see the boxes and racks of clothes, and dressed up mannequins waiting to be moved to the top of the building on the main floor.
"Wilson?" Rose called again, her and Daisy walking further into the room. "Wilson?"
"Rose, maybe we should j–" Daisy began but was cut off by the slam of the doors behind her, making her whirl around and run to them to try and get them open. However, they were locked. "You've got to be kidding me."
"What happened?" Rose asked as she rushed up to her sister's side.
"I don't know." Daisy grumbled, turning to look at her sister. "It closed on its own."
Just then, there was a rustling that came from somewhere deeper in the storage room, which then made Daisy and Rose turn back around in that direction.
"Is that someone mucking about?" Rose demanded. "Who is it?"
The two sisters froze, gripping onto each other as they saw one of the mannequins actually turn to look at them before moving towards them.
"Okay, you got us." Daisy swallowed nervously. "Very funny."
Rose's eyes widened when other mannequins started moving as she and her sister backed away. "Right, we've got the joke." She said, panicking. "Whose idea was this? Is it Derek's? Is it? Derek, is this you?"
Their backs hit the wall, making them gasp as they started to get the gravity of their situation. Rose quickly grabbed Daisy's hand and held onto it tightly, both of them closing their eyes as the mannequin raised its arm...
A hand suddenly grabbed Rose's free hand, making her gasp again before she and Daisy glanced back to meet the grey blue eyes of a leather jacket-clad man.
He grinned at them. "Run."
Not even protesting, Rose let the man tug her along as she herself kept a tight grip on Daisy's hand while all of them tried to stay ahead of the mannequins following them.
The three of them ran, just in time, through a fire exit before running into a lift.
•••
Inside, Henricks, Lift...
As they all made it into the lift, the Tyler twins' eyes widened when the first mannequin put its arm in between the closing doors.
The leather jacket wearing man simply grabbed the arm and tugged, finally pulling it off, which then allowed the lift doors to close all the way.
Daisy held her hands on her knees before standing back up straight as she caught her breath. "Did you seriously just pull his arm off?"
"Yep." The man confirmed, tossing it to her. "Plastic!"
Daisy quickly caught it before tossing it to Rose, Rose fumbling before getting a steady grip on it.
"Very clever. Nice trick." Rose mumbled as she examined the plastic arm she now held. "So, who were they, then? Students? Is this a student thing or what?"
"Why would they be students?" The man asked.
"I don't know."
The man frowned and turned back to face her, considering. "Well, you said it. Why students?"
"Well, I suppose it does make sense." Daisy pointed out, chiming in. "I mean, to get that many people dressed and actually being silly, it'd make sense that they'd be students."
The man thought it through, then nodded. "That does make sense." He agreed. "Well, done."
"Thanks."
"They're not students." The man turned the idea down before turning back to the lift doors.
Rose rolled her eyes. "Well, whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he's gonna call the police."
"Who's Wilson?" The man asked.
"Chief electrician."
"Wilson's dead."
Daisy glanced at Rose, seeing her staring blankly at the man before turning back to look at him more directly herself as the lift doors opened.
•••
Inside, Henricks, Corridor...
"That's not funny, that's sick!" Rose exclaimed as she and Daisy followed him out of the lift and down the corridor.
"Hold on." He warned. "Mind your eyes."
"I've had enough of this now." Rose shook her head, her and Daisy holding their hands over their eyes as the man used something on the lift controls, making them spark.
"Okay, who the hell are you? And who's that lot down there?" Daisy called after the man as she and Rose ran after him, seeing that they were close to the building exit. "Hey! I said, who are they?"
"They're made of plastic." He answered as he lead them towards the exit doors. "Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device in the roof, which would be a great big problem if I didn't have this." He waved a small device in their face, their eyes widening when they realized it was a bomb. "So, I'm going to go up there and blow them up, and I might well die in the process. But don't worry about me, no." He said as he opened the exit for the two sisters.
•••
Outside, Henricks, Night...
"Go home, go on. Go and have your lovely beans on toast." He said as he let them out.
Just then, a woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair and dark brown eyes came rappelling down the side of the department store with the use of some sort of grappling hook device.
"I checked all the floors." She spoke in a Cockney accent as her feet touched the ground before she had the grappling hook 'reel' itself in, then putting it in an inside jacket pocket (bigger on the inside pocket?) of her black leather biker jacket. "There's no one else left. We're clear."
"Good." The man nodded as she made her way over to him and watched as she just walked right in between Daisy and Rose, not paying their curious gazes any mind.
"It would probably bode well for the both of you if you didn't tell anyone about this." The woman said as she turned around to face the two girls. "Could get them killed."
"Bye now." The man waved once before he and the woman stepped inside, shutting the door behind them and leaving a confused Daisy and Rose standing there.
The sisters shared a look before the two of them slowly turned around to begin heading back home before they suddenly turned back around when they heard the door open once more.
"We're the Doctor and Aria, by the way." The man introduced, pointing at himself before pointing at the brunette woman who was with him.
The woman gave the sisters a small smile. "What are your names?"
"Daisy." Daisy answered, too stunned to lie.
"Rose." Rose answered in much the same manner as her sister.
"Nice to meet you, Daisy and Rose." The Guardian smiled at them.
"Now," The Doctor began, waving the little bomb he held in his hand. "run for your lives!"
With that, the duo shut the door again, Daisy and Rose then beginning to run away from the building.
•••
Outside, London street...
The two sisters hurried along at the very edge of the sidewalks, both of them keeping a nervous eye on the mannequins in the window.
Finally, they bolted across the road, the two of them nearly being hit by a black cab.
"Watch it!" The driver shouted.
When Rose and Daisy made it to the other side, the top of the Henricks store exploded in a huge fireball.
The two sisters stared at it wide eyed and glanced at each other before they both ran down the street, heading home and going right past a blue police public call box that was tucked in an alleyway between two stores.
