A/N: Sorry for the wait people hope you like it.

A flash of blue light announced the arrival of Gareth and Danny. They arrived in a back alley that lead into the streets, Danny groaned from the pain of using the vortex manipulator. Gareth looked around studying his surroundings before heading over to look out at the streets, as soon as he got there he clumsily tripped on a rock, he steadied himself stopping himself from falling. Danny smiled a little finally taking in his surroundings as well, he frowned unable to glean were they were.

"Where are we?" Danny asked having no idea he could tell it was Christmas though. Gareth turned around grinning

"Cardiff 1869," Gareth said joyfully he was about to walk off when he remembered something, he spun around and spoke to Danny.

"Well I owe you an explanation for why I took you from the TARDIS and why the TARDIS was okay with it," he gave Danny a knowing look, Danny frowned.

"Wait you can hear the TARDIS as well?" Danny asked hoping Gareth good, Gareth shook his head but continued on.

"No however I had let's just say dealings with someone who could," he stopped for a moment then saw Danny's next question forming on his lips so decided he may as well answered it.

"Okay it was you, well not you know but a future you who sent me here," seeing Danny's confused expression he continued on trying to make it less confusing,

"Okay let's just say sometime in your future you come to me to tell me certain stuff that I am about to tell you yeah?" Danny nodded which caused Gareth to smile glad he understood a little.

"You know there really needs to be a phrase for how time moves, maybe wobbly I don't know, someone will think of something one day I'm rubbish with names." Danny laughed but decided to take advantage of the silence straight after.

"So you said you know what's going on, can you tell me because one moment I'm walking in the TARDIS library the next I'm hearing the TARDIS in my mind." Gareth smiled

"Yeah well from what I know is that your some type of guardian of sorts, you protect The Doctor and Time, you can hear the TARDIS because it needs you to, The Doctor sometimes blocks The TARDIS out and ignores her. Of course it's more than that there are some other things you can do, but you have to find them out for yourself, all you need to know for now is that your connected to the TARDIS, there is another who can tell you more, her names Alicia Carn you spoke fondly of her, you said she will come in time. As Gareth had been talking Danny had been nodding along taking it all in well as much as he could.

"But what if I don't want this?" Danny questioned somewhat annoyed.

"Don't think you have a choice mate," Danny sighed not that happy

"Great so this was done against my will and I have to keep it." Gareth nodded and Danny headed for the street, but was stopped by Gareth.

"Hey how about to take your mind off it, we go to the theatre while we wait for The Doctor, and we meet Charles Dickens." Danny's face lit up when he heard who was at the theatre and agreed to head that way. The both of them left the alleyway and headed for the theatre both were excited.

Inside the TARDIS it was mayhem, the whole of the TARDIS was shaking and an alarm was going off. Both the Doctor and Rose were at the console.

"Hold that one down!" The Doctor shouted over the noise

"I'm HOLDING this one down!" Rose shouted back nodding to the one she was already holding down.

"Well, hold them BOTH down!" The Doctor replied.

"It's not going to work!" Rose said.

"Oi! I promised you a time machine and that's what you're getting. Now, you've seen the future - let's have a look at the past. 1860. How does 1860 sound?"

"What happened in 1860?" Rose asked interested

"I don't know, let's find out. Hold on, here we go!" Replied The Doctor as the TARDIS started screeching through the time vortex.

"Doctor will Danny be there?" Rose asked him concerned, The Doctor looked at her and smiled not really knowing himself if Danny would be. Soon the TARDIS materialized on one of the streets of 1869. Back in the TARDIS the console was steaming, both Rose and The Doctor were on the floor laughing. They got up onto their feet.

"Blimey!" Rose said after she had stopped laughing.

"You're telling me! Are you alright? "The Doctor asked glancing over at her.

"Yeah. I think so! Nothing broken... did we make it? Where are we?" The Doctor went over to the scanner to confirm where they were.

"I did it! Give the man a medal. Earth - Naples - December 24th, 1860." The Doctor said getting a little big headed.

"That's so weird... it's Christmas." Rose replied. The Doctor gestured towards the door.

"All yours." He said.

"But, it's like... think about it, though. Christmas. 1860. Happens once. Just once, and it's gone. It's finished. It'll never happen again. Except for you." She studied him intently

 "You can go back and see days that are dead and gone and a hundred thousand sunsets ago... no wonder you never stay still..."

"Not a bad life." he answered

"Better with three." They both grinned at each other for a moment, before Rose slapped his bum then rushed to the door.

"Come on then!" she shouted back at him as she arrived at the door.

"Oi, oi, oi! Where do you think you're going?" The Doctor asked her

"1860!" Rose answered back.

"Go out there dressed like that, you'll start a riot, Barbarella! There's a wardrobe through there. First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins, it's the fifth door on your left. Hurry up!" While saying this The Doctor was pointing towards one of the exits to the corridors, so she knew where to go. Rose nodded then ran off to get changed, while The Doctor ginned after her.

Both Danny and Gareth had arrived at the theatre, at the door was the man accepting tickets which caused Danny to turn around to look at Gareth worried.

"Don't worry got it covered," He announced producing two cards, he looked at them confused for a second.

"oops nope that's something personal, nope well ah here they are." In his hands were two Tickets, he handed one to Danny who raised an eye but took it anyway.

"That's thanks to you, so it would be good that you keep hold of them," Gareth mentioned to Danny. The man who was taking the Tickets finally came to the both of them, Danny and Gareth showed the man the ticket, the man smiled took the Tickets looked over them then gave them back to Danny before heading further up the queue. The line moved allowing Both Danny and Gareth to get into the theatre.

Back in The TARDIS The Doctor was under the console doing some repair work that did not actually need to be done. Despite The TARDIS telling him to stop The Doctor carried on anyway. Rose swanned on into the room causing The Doctor to turn off the Sonic and look up at her in surprise, what she was wearing was beautiful.

"Blimey!" The Doctor exclaimed as she stopped.

"Don't laugh!" She told him thinking that it did not suit her. She started laughing

"You look beautiful!" Rose stopped laughing and smiled instead. Silence filled the room for a moment and The Doctor looked away awkwardly.

"Considering." He continued braking the silence. He then turned The Sonic back on.

"Considering what?" Rose asked him.

"That you're human!" He told here in a tone that made it sound as if it should have been obvious. Rose looked at him in amusement.

"I THINK that's a compliment... Aren't you going to change?" she asked him, he was still wearing the clothes he was wearing earlier, in fact he never seemed to take them off.

"I've changed my jumper!" Come on! The Doctor jumped out from the space underneath the console, but before he could get going Rose spoke up.

"You, stay there! You've done this before. This is mine!" Rose ran over to the door, opening it she looked around before making one footprint in the untouched snow in front of the TARDIS, she then withdrew her foot before stepping out all together, The Doctor followed her out soon after.

"Ready for this?" The Doctor asked, Rose smiled at him and took the arm he offered her.

"Here we go. History!" They walked off together down the street both observing everything in sight Rose looked around in amazement, The Doctor 's face was plastered with his usual grin. He walked in another direction and Rose followed. As they walked on carol singers could be heard.

In the theatre the curtains open for Dickens show, the audience clap Danny and Gareth along with them, both unaware of the dead old women sitting behind them from their front row seats.

Back out on one of the streets The Doctor brought a newspaper and quickly scanned it before looking up at Rose

"I got the flight a bit wrong." The Doctor told her.

"I don't care." She replied

"It's not 1860, it's 1869." The Doctor told her still.

"I don't care!" Rose said again

"And it's not Naples."

"I don't care." She replied once more

"It's Cardiff." Rose looked at him as if he was not serious, she paused for a moment.

"Right..."

Back in the theatre Dickens was talking to he audience, while he talk the, something strange was happening to the old women, Danny felt something odd behind him, he turned and his eyes widened, tapping Gareth on the shoulder, he to turned to see, gas was escaping from her.

"Well that's n..." he never got to finish as Dickens pointed it out, and everyone in the audience promptly screamed and made like fly's for the doors. As they did this the women stood up and let out a loud wail Gas started to fly around the place, Charles Dickens was trying to get everyone calmed down.

"Stay in your seats, I beg you. It is a lantern show, it's trickery." Dickens shouted at the audience who were not really listening.

"If only... DOCTOR!" Danny saw both The Doctor and Rose entered the theatre

"Fantastic." The Doctor said as he saw the strange thing and Danny with Gareth all at the same time. Before all of them can do anything though the last of the gas left the women and she collapsed in the chair just a dead body. Danny looked at Gareth questioningly who just shrugged in response, they made their way over to The Doctor, who was now talking to Charles Dickens.

"Did you see where it came from," he asked Charles, Danny just smiled realising The Doctor had no idea who it was, he kept his mouth shut letting it play out. Gareth listened to see what Charles Dickens would say while Danny was watching the Women carefully.

"Ah. The wag reveals himself, does he? I trust you're satisfied, sir!" Dickens replied thinking instantly it was The Doctor, who had caused this. Gareth was about to say something in his defence but it got lost when Rose shouted out.

"Oi! Leave her alone!" Danny has seen it a second before Rose had shouted an old man and a young girl were making off with the old woman's body.

"Doctor, I'll get 'em!" Rose shouted at him causing her to promptly run off after them, Danny grinned at both The Doctor and Gareth and ran after her. The Doctor and Gareth watched them go

"Be careful!" They both shouted after them before The Doctor jumped onto the stage to question Dickens some more.

"Did it say anything? Could it speak? I'm The Doctor, by the way." The Doctor said as quickly as he had jumped onto the stage.

"I'm Gareth and Doctor no it could not speak it…" Gareth never finished what he was going to say as Charles Dickens had cut in.

"Doctor? You look more like a navy." He replied causing Gareth to raise an eye at what The Doctor was wearing. The Doctor seemed offended

"What's WRONG with this jumper?" The Doctor asked indignantly.

Back out on the Square Rose had caught up with the two people who had snatched the old women.

"What're you doing?" Rose asked her demandingly.

"Oh, it's such a tragedy, miss. Don't worry yourself, me and the master will deal with it." The girl replied while trying to bar Rose from seeing inside the hearse.

"The fact is, this poor lady's been taken with the brain fever and we have to get her to the infirmary." Rose pushed the Girl aside and feels the old women's head, its cold

"She's cold... she's dead! My God, what did you do to her?" Rose questioned looking at the girl. It was at that moment that the old man grabbed her clamping a tissue full of something around her mouth. Rose struggled for a while before going limp. By the Time Danny Finally got into the Square he was too late they had already put Rose in the hearse and driven away.

"Damn it!" he yelled out to no one in particular, he thought to himself trying to decide on if he should wait for The Doctor or go after them instead. When he finally decided he took a piece of Paper out of his pocket and wrote something on it, he put it in clear sight and placed a nearby bin on its corner before chasing after the escaping hearse.

A/N: Okay yeah I change it here instead of The Doctor noticing them put her in the Hearse its Danny, I know there is very possibility that The Doctor wont find the note but anyway if you don't like it please say.
