A Penny Dreadful and Red Dwarf Crossover
Chapter 2: Through The Portal
"This portal sure does sound interesting, but I'm kind of still tired right now, so you guys go!" said Cat.
Everyone else left the room to let Cat go back to sleep. Everyone picked up a communication watch each so that they could all communicate with Holly and each other while away in Victorian London. Kryten suggested that they change to some Victorian outfits before they left so that they could blend in. Nobody had any Victorian outfits, luckily, Rimmer did, so they all borrowed Victorian outfits from him.
"We look kind of weird." said Lister.
"This is so that we can blend in with the people of the Victorian English Town Mr. Lister sir." said Kryten.
Everyone followed Kryten to the boarding room on the Z Deck. Once there, they found the portal and one by one, they stepped through it. Everything went white then a few seconds later, our fellow dwarfers found themselves standing in Victorian London.
"This is amazing!" said Lister.
Kristine, Rimmer and Kryten agreed.
"Alright sirs and ma'am, let's all split up to explore this place, we'll meet back here when we're ready to go!" said Kryten.
"Ok!" said Kristine, Rimmer and Lister together, then they left leaving Kryten to explore the town by himself.
Lister was walking when he saw the local pub. He decided to go inside, he thought it was so elegant and amazing. He went up to the bar and ordered himself a beer. That's when he saw a beautiful woman sitting at one of the tables on her own. He took his beer and went to sit at the table with her. She had long black hair and was wearing a long black dress. Lister sat down opposite her and drank his beer, then she spoke.
"Never seen you round here before." she said.
Lister put his beer down and answered her.
"Oh, pardon my manners! I'm Dave Lister, but my friends call me Lister." said Lister.
The woman laughed as she watched him drink his beer! She heard him whisper "by friends, I mean fellow idiots!"
"Nice to meet you Dave, my name's Ives, Vanessa Ives, charmed!" said the woman.
Lister and Vanessa shook hands then Lister offered to get her a drink. Vanessa said ok and Lister got her a drink.
"So, what are you doing here all alone then?" asked Lister.
"I was supposed to be meeting my friend Dorian but he hasn't shown up, he's probably busy with work or something, I don't know." said Vanessa then she sighed.
"Maybe I could hang out with you today then, you look really beautiful, I forgot to mention it, I'm so sorry!" said Lister.
"Thank you Dave!" said Vanessa.
"Please, call me Lister, everyone does!" said Lister.
"Oh, well then, Lister, let's go!" said Vanessa.
Vanessa and Lister finished their drinks, Vanessa paid for them, then they both left the pub, where just outside, they both saw Kristine talking to a really cute guy with a moustache wearing a greyish suit and a really awesome hat.
Vanessa and Lister walked over to Kristine and the guy, all four of them gasped when they saw each other.
"Oh, Lister, hi, who's your friend?" said Kristine.
"You know him?" asked the guy.
"Yeah!" said Kristine.
"This is..." said Lister, before he was cut off by the guy.
"Vanessa!" said the guy who's name was Ethan.
"Ethan!" said Vanessa.
Kristine and Lister exchanged confused looks.
"You two know each other?" said Kristine.
"Yeah, just like we've apparently learned that you two know each other!" said Ethan.
The four of them looked at each other then laughed as they walked off seperate ways, Lister with Vanessa and Kristine with Ethan.
