Hi its me
So sorry I haven't updated lately! I'M SO SORRY! I was supposed to, but I've been doing other stuff, and I've had a serious case of writers block. It's just been… weird. I'M SO SORRY!
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy, and keep the reviews coming!
Thanks xoxox

It was more then a couple of blocks to walk from Southern Cross Station to the TARDIS. By the time the Doctor, Clare, and Bella got there, all three of them were puffed.
"Whoa, Melbourne is big" Bella managed to breathe out. Clare just nodded. As both girls leaned up against the brick wall leading into the alley, the Doctor strode down to the big blue box.
"Coming?" he turned around, to see the two girls staring at him.
"Bit cramped don't you think Clare?" Bella said, giving her friend and elbow in a rib.
"It's not that small, come on" the Doctor beckoned, opening the door. Both girls silently walked up to the door. The Doctor was holding it open for them, grinning his cheesy grin. Clare and Bella stuck their head through the door. Bella's mouth opened wide enough to see her tonsils, but Clare just stared. The Doctor slid past them, and up to the main console. He started pressing buttons, a serious look on his face.
"Is it just me or is it bigger on…" Bella received her elbowing gift back from Clare.
"Ouch" She mumbled, rubbing her side. Clare stepped lightly onto the grate ramp, leading into the main room of the TARDIS. Bella followed quietly. The door shut quickly behind them, and both girls jumped.
"Short trips… Short trips… I know I'm clever, but I sometimes wish she came with a manual" The Doctor thought out loud. It was returned with a low groan of the TARDIS.
OoO
Rose was led by the maid down to the sun room. Stephan sat with two other girls around a small coffee table.
"Ah! Rose" He cried, standing up. Both of the girls seated next to her turned their heads. One was blond, like Rose, with blue eyes. The other was a brunette with green eyes. Rose dipped her head, trying to stay in a trance like posture. She avoided Stephan's eyes easily, taking her seat between the two girls.
"Melissa, and Hannah, this is Rose" Stephan gestured to all of them. The blond was Hannah, and the green eyed girl was Melissa. Rose mentally noted this, remembering that she would have to get them out as well.
"Shall we have our tea then?" Stephan grinned. Rose kept her head low, just like the other two girls.
"This man is so twisted" Rose thought.
OoO
The familiar 'whirring' of the TARDIS let its three passengers know it was traveling.
"Mum is going to kill me if I'm not home by six" Bella worried, only audible for Clare to hear. Clare shot her a worried glance. The Doctor was fumbling with the controls in the center console. His brow was furrowed and he looked like he was concentrating very hard. The girls stayed close to the door, holding onto the railing. A couple of bumps went by, and the 'whirring' stopped.
"I think… we're here" the Doctor said thoughtfully. He strode around the console, and up to door. He gave both girls a cheeky grin before opening the door.
OoO
"Now Rose" Stephan began, once he'd poured their tea, "Have you met my wife? Her name is Grace. She's not in the house at the moment. She's out in the garden. Maybe after we've finished our tea, we can go and meet her" Stephan's perky voice was irritating Rose very much.
Rose nodded, as did Hannah and Melissa.
"Good, I like to see people cooperating" Stephan said quietly.
"Sir, why are we here?" the voice came from Rose's right, it was Hannah.
"Well, I'm not from around here. I work for, what humans call, a 'slave' company. I'm here on business with my wife. You three will be setting out for the Topaz System in a few hours" Stephan replied happily.
Rose's stomach flipped.
OoO
The Doctor strode out into the paddock, closely followed by the two girls. The door to the TARDIS shut tightly behind them.
"Does this look Australian to you?" The Doctor asked the girls.
"It looks like it" Bella replied. Both girls were shocked at the fact that they had actually traveled in the TARDIS. That the space around them had changed, they were in a different place!
"Hmm, I have a hunch…" The Doctor thought, and started striding out toward a hill. The girls followed behind him. Like Rose they had to jog to keep up with him. Their eyes were wide.
"How are we going to get home?" Bella whispered to Clare.
"I don't know" Clare replied.
They got to the top of the hill in no time, covering the distance quickly with their rapid pace. They stood on the top of the hill, looking down at the small town of Castlemaine. Trees spiked up around most of the town. Small houses situated themselves in small blocks, looking old and worn.
"We must be on the outskirts, last time I came here it was bigger" The Doctor said.
"You've been here before?" Bella asked. The Doctor simply nodded beside them.
"So how are we going to find Rose then?" Clare asked.
"Well, the town is slightly bigger then your average castle. So we'll probably be able to find her" The Doctor said, almost sounding as if he wished his words were true. Clare and Bella knew they weren't.
As the two girls stared down at the town, the Doctor turned around. He saw the TARDIS down in the middle of the paddock, and then another rising slope behind it. On top of that slope however, was a grand house. Situated, at what looked like the back, was a shiny silver round object, that probably wouldn't be seen unless you were standing on top of the hill they just happened to be standing on.
"You've done it again old girl" The Doctor cried, and began to stride toward the house. The object at the back of the house was metal. The Doctor could tell that, from here he could pretty much smell that it wasn't something from Earth. So either he was going to find Rose being captured by aliens, which is what he hoped. Or he was going to find an alien. Either way, it was still going to be fun. Somewhere in the back of his mind though, he prayed that he would find Rose there, and the part of his mind ached at the thought that he might not.
OoO
The Doctor and the two girls stood on the porch of the white house. It was very large, and looked quite out of some film the Doctor had seen when he was visiting Earth, back when he was younger. Maybe that was the design they had modeled it on. While he was thinking this, Bella mustered up the courage to push the doorbell button. As she did, a great booming sound echoed from the house. Almost immediately a short maid opened the front door. The Doctor grinned at her.
"Hello, these girls threw their ball into your garden, and they were wondering if they could get it back" The Doctor said to her. Clare and Bella looked astounded.
"I'm sorry sir, no balls came into the garden today" the maid replied. The Doctor's brow furrowed slightly as he thought of another reason to come inside.
"But we're really sure it came into your back garden" Clare piped up.
"Well I'm sorry, but you won't be getting it back" the maid retorted, and she tried to shut the door on them. Unfortunately the Doctor's foot got caught in the frame.
"It's extremely rude to refuse a traveler of a cup of tea don't you think?" He fixed her with a stare. She looked up at him, fear in her eyes, but something else there as well. The Doctor frowned.
"You're under some sort of power, hypnosis maybe" He blurted out.
"Yes, she is, would you like to meet her Master?" the door swung open to reveal a man dressed in a grey pinstripe suit. Behind him were three girls, dressed in long dresses. A brunette, a blond with blue eyes, and Rose.
The Doctor couldn't help but smile.

Sorry this didn't come any sooner, but as I said before I had serious writers block. This only came through when I sat down in a chair and thought about it for about 34 minutes. I think I have it all planned out now. So hopefully I wont be too tied up to write some more. Again, REALLY SORRY!
Please keep the reviews coming.
