"You're right Doctor." Rose said, the puzzle pieces falling into place in her mind. "It's the bear isn't it?"
The Doctor nodded. "But how do we stop it?"
"Doctor," Tony spoke up.
"What is it mate?" The Doctor asked, turning to face him.
"Do you think it's something inside the bear?"
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"Well, some toys have batteries in them." Tony explained.
"Oh m' boy, you've got your sister's logic." The Doctor smiled and Rose and Tony returned his friendly gesture.
The Doctor lay flat on his stomach on Tony's bedroom floor, staring back at the teddy bear who was staring at him and hissing fiercely.
"How do I get it?" He asked Rose, looking up at her. "The thing looks like it will bite me."
"Come on Doctor." Rose said, joining him on the floor. "You've never been scared before. Especially not by a harmless little teddy bear." She laughed.
"Rose, look at it. It looks psychotic." The Doctor tried to defend himself.
Rose looked over at the bear.
"Right. But there must be a way." She said.
Suddenly, there were footsteps behind them and Rose and The Doctor jumped before turning around to see Tony standing in the doorway. The Doctor put his hand to his chest and felt his heart racing. "Tony!" He said breathlessly. "You scared us mate."
"Sorry." He said. "but is this what you were talking about?" Tony held up a claw toy.
"That'd be brilliant Tony!" The Doctor said enthusiastically, getting up. "Can I give it a go?"
"Sure." Said Tony, handing it to him.
Rose got up and went to stand by her brother while the Doctor went back to try Tony's claw toy on the teddy bear under the bed.
Rose sat behind Tyler with her hands protectively on his shoulders while they watched the Doctor try out the claw.
The Doctor carefully slid the claw under the bed, keeping his grip on the handle tight and steady and his eyes focused on the teddy bear, under the bed, in the far corner of the room. His teeth became clenched in concentration and he slowly pressed the button near the handle to open the claw, carefully positioning it around the bear and slowly dragging it out. As the bear came into the concentrated glow of the overhead light, Rose and Tony could see the bear was putting up quite a fight, thrashing its little arms and legs around violently. The Doctor slid the claw away and carefully pinched a bit of the teddy bear on the back of it's neck, slowly lifting it up in mid air as he got up himself.
"So, this is our culprit." He said. "A little teddy bear."
"Makes you laugh doesn't it." Rose smiled, struggling not to laugh herself. Tony let out a little giggle as he watched the teddy bear kicking and punching thin air in a pitiable attempt to escape.
Still pinching the back of the teddy bear's neck, the Doctor carried it out to the dining room where he placed it face down on a tall coffee table. Rose stood behind him with Tony in her arms. It wasn't long before Jackie and Pete emerged and came to watch the goings on.
"Pete! Brilliant!" The Doctor said, noticing him suddenly. "Do you have a screw driver? I may have some batteries to take out."
"Sure. I'll go have a look." Pete said, wandering off.
The Doctor returned his attention to the now frozen, seemingly normal teddy bear. Carefully, he felt it's back and when he felt a bump, he picked at it with his nails until the Velcro crunched as it came apart. Sure enough, there was a battery pack beneath.
Pete came back just in time and handed the Doctor a small screw driver. Concentrating, the Doctor unwound the hard top of the battery back. Underneath was a large, single battery that glowed bright green.
The Doctor again reached for Tony's claw toy, which Tony held and gave to him before carefully, slowly removing the battery from the bear. The Doctor handed the claw, still closed around the glowing battery to Pete.
"Get rid of it. As thoroughly as you can." He instructed and Pete wandered off again, the claw in his tight, cautious grip.
The Doctor replaced the top of the battery pack and pushed the bit of Velcro down again. He turned to face Tony, holding the now normal and completely harmless bear in his hands.
"Here you go buddy." He smiled cheerfully, handing the bear to the young boy who took it cautiously and smiled back at him.
"It's ok." The Doctor said. "It's safe now. Now more monster under the bed and no more nightmares."
