"Captain Lance, a blue box has materialized in the cargo hold."
"Put in on screen Gideon," said Sara Lance, entering the bridge. If it was another one of Ray's experiments.
"A police public call box?" she asked, confused. "Did we pick it up when we were saving the Queen?"
"I'm afraid not," replied the artificial intelligence that controlled the ship. "There's also more that you need to know."
"Look at you," said a blond woman in a pale blue coat. "A hyper-advanced artificial A.I. tied directly into the systems critical components. Oh you are beautiful, let me have a look..."
The woman made her way over to the central console, ignoring Sara entirely. Behind the intruder were three other strangers, milling around uncomfortably.
"I'm Ryan," said the young black man. "That's Graham," he pointed, with the older man looking sheepish. "That's Yaz," continued Ryan, the young woman giving her an awkward wave. "And that's the Doctor."
"Hmm?" said the Doctor, looking up. "Right, sorry, hello, nice to meet you."
"How did you get onto my ship?" asked Sara angrily. "Did the Time Bureau send you?"
"The what?" asked the Doctor, puzzled. "Time Bureau. Never heard of 'em, and I'm a Time Lord... Lady... someone who knows a lot about time. And time travel. I see you've been using this recently, how many temporal miles?"
"Fifty-five billion," replied Gideon, her holographic head coming into view.
"Blimey," said the Doctor. "Almost as much as my old girl."
"If you don't start explaining yourself right now," said Sara, upset at being ignored.
"We're just travellers," said Graham quickly. "We travel in a blue box, the TARDIS. The Doctor said she was reading some unusual signatures and decided to do an emergency landing."
"Your ship almost hit us," said the Doctor. "You have to watch where you're going, the time vortex might by infinite but that's no reason to not pay attention."
"I thought you said we almost hit them?" said Ryan, before seeing the Doctor's face. "Sorry," he added, sheepishly.
"You're time travellers as well?" asked Sara, still assessing the four. Three of them didn't seem like a threat at all, but the Doctor... something seemed off about her. Like she was always scanning the environment, ready for anything.
"Yeah," said Yaz. "Time and space. We're sort of like... tourists, I suppose?"
"What's going on here," said a gruff voice, as Rory entered the bridge.
"And whys there a blue box in the cargo hold?" replied Ray, as he and Zari also entered.
"And who are these four?" asked John Constantine, cigarette hanging in his mouth. The Doctor looked up, breaking into a massive smile.
"John Constantine," she beamed happily. "I was wondering when I'd run into you again."
"Do I know you love?" asked Constantine, sceptically.
"Oh right, I suppose I've changed a bit. Last time you saw me I was a short Scottish bloke who thought he had a plan for everything. You said I was a right tosser, even though I manage to send those Pyrovores out of Manchester. Especially after I got you drunk under the table. Two hearts aren't the only duplicates I have you know."
"Bloody hell," said Constantine, cigarette dropping from his mouth. "You really are him, aren't ya? What's this then, a shape-shifting spell?"
"Regeneration," replied the Doctor. "Anyway, what are you doing on a time ship?"
"I could ask you the same question," said Constantine, giving a forlorn look at his cigarette. "Easy Sara," he said. "You can trust her. If she really is the Doctor, than you'll probably need her help."
"If someone could just explain what is going on?" asked Zari in confusion.
The Doctor let out a small smile. She always loved this part.
"I was tracking a disturbance in the web of time when I came across your ship heading in the same direction," explained the Doctor. "Thought it'd be quicker to hitch a ride. It appears that you're going to July 1955, somewhere near Anaheim... Why does that seem so familiar?"
"Gideon?" asked Sara.
"The Doctor is indeed correct," said the computer, bringing up the usual newspaper clippings. "It appears that the opening of Disneyland was more catastrophic than previously believed, as it resulted in the disappearance of several children with its first few days of operation. The scandal ruined Walt Disney, and shut down the entire company by the end of the year."
"No Disney?" said Ray, flabbergasted. "But about The Little Mermaid? Beauty and the Beast? The Great Mouse Detective?"
The rest of them looked at him, confused, baffled, a mixture of both.
"What?" said Ray. "It's my favourite Disney film."
"No one is getting rid of The Lion King," said Rory grumpily. "Who do we have to light up?"
"Easy there," said Sara, putting out a hand. "What else can you tell us Gideon?"
"Without Disney's influence there wasn't any hope left in the world, leading to a nuclear war in the 80s that wiped out all life on the planet."
"I didn't know he was that important," said Graham.
"So what's the plan?" asked Zari.
"I'm glad you asked," beamed the Doctor, taking centre stage. "We'll go back to the sixteenth of July, the day before the park opened, and have a look around. See if we can spot anything out of the ordinary. Hopefully this is all a simple misunderstanding and we can be finished in time for tea."
"Excuse me, Doctor," said Sara testily. "But I'm the captain round here."
"Oh," said the Doctor awkwardly. "Sorry. Yes. Your ship. So, what's your plan."
Sara scowled at the Doctor a bit, before turning to the crew and the strangers that had recently joined them. She opened her mouth, then faltered.
"Like you said," she said, nodding to the Doctor. "We'll split into teams when we arrive, and Gideon can make up some passes for us in case anyone asks any questions. But we go in, look for anything out of the ordinary, report back straight away? Got it?"
"I have a question," said the Doctor, holding her hand up. "Is it perhaps theoretically possible we could go on some of the rides? Dumbo was always my favourite, that little elephant was so cute. Granted he did take all of my peanuts."
Sara said nothing, ignoring the strange woman, and instead addressing the assembled group. "Okay gang, lets go save Disneyland!"
