I suppose I sent The Doctor on a guilt trip this time...Woops.

CAROL SIX

"Away across the galaxy,

A Time Lord was born,

Then 900 years later,

He got really bored!

The Doctor loved Rose Tyler,

He liked Martha too,

But what he really needed,

Was a pair of new shoes!"

"I don't, thank you very much, Martha!" The trio were standing outside of the ARC; The Doctor looking at his scrappy, old shoes.

"Yes, you do!" she laughed, "These are ancient!" She mimicked smelly shoes, standing up quickly so no-one could look up her dress - Her bright façade was fading off, and both Rose and The Doctor could see so. Please, don't be upset, he sent in thought. I'm perfectly fine, she thought replied. Peering back at the highly tinsel-ified TARDIS, she wondered if it would be stolen.

"The TARDIS will be safe! Honestly, this place is maximum security!" reassured The Doctor; Martha just smiled. She pulled open the doors and walked down the airy corridor confidently – This place looked similar to U.N.I.T…but the people who worked here dealt with prehistoric and futuristic creatures, not aliens.

A rather satisfied couple walked out of a room behind them, hair ruffled, clothes askew.

"Excuse me," the woman said, "Who are you?"

"Well, I'm The Doctor, this is Martha, and this is Rose," The Doctor rammed his hands into his festive coat's pockets, "We're here for Abby Maitland's Christmas party?"

"Oh, right. Well, I'm Jenny and this is my colleague Danny. Follow us, please." Walking down, Jenny felt a vibration in her pocket – her phone. Checking her inbox, it was a text from Danny; so, ignoring it, the group continued into the room.

"Torchwood has already arrived." Danny remarked.

"TORCHWOOD!" yelled Martha and The Doctor simultaneously, and they sped forwards, pushing through the swinging doors.

"Doc! Martha!" Jack split off from the group to hug his old friends, "It's been ages!" Just then, Jenny and Danny walked into the room, and looks of surprise and knowing spread around the group.

"Ahem? How can you do it without get caught, while when we do it, we're always caught." Connor frowned, wiggling his eyebrows mischievously.

"Con, you don't have a girlfr-" Danny was cut short by a brief squabble from Abby and Caroline. Abby stood on Caroline's head, and whilst doing so, she retorted;

"He does too have a girlfriend, Daniel Quinn. Jenny, keep your man in line!" Saved by the girl once again…
