The trip to city hall was short, and they were outside within minutes. The Daleks didn't seem to be around anywhere, "but that doesn't mean anything" the Doctor said looking sternly at Alice and Tabitha. "Now, Tabitha, where's that computer?"

"Over there," Tabitha whispered, pointing. "Come on!" She led the group over to where the computer was. It was in a pretty secluded place, under a bunch of torn wires. "Seems the Daleks have been around here," she mused, "let's just hope they haven't messed with the computer."

Tabitha started typing pretty quickly on the keyboard. The screen flickered on, revealing a map of Disarray. There was a large white dot signifying where they were standing, and then a bunch of smaller purple dots that signified the Daleks.

"Hang on," Tabitha said, pointing at the screen. "What's that?" She was pointing at the white dot, which had three smaller dots inside of it. One was blue, one was green, and one was red.

The Doctor squinted at it, and then laughed. "I think that's us." Tabitha raised her eyebrows, so he explained farther. "You see, blue stands for human. That's you." He turned to Alice. "Can you guess what green is?"

"Me" she laughed. "Typical, it seems Hyrule's always represented in greens."

"That means I'm the red one" the Doctor said. "I've never been red before. Interesting. Though…" he ran a hand through his hair as he looked at the rest of the map. "Okay, tons of Daleks, they all seem to be crowding around here." He pointed. "Which is right next to us it seems. Where is that?"

"Science lab" Tabitha answered. The Doctor groaned.

"Okay," Alice said. "Do we have a plan of action?"

"Not yet," the Doctor told her. "First we need to figure out what they're up to. Any way we can do that?" He directed this last bit at Tabitha.

"We've got a few robots around in the lab." She said, pulling up another window on the computer and starting to type again. "If I can get into the mainframe I might be able to get one online without anyone noticing. We can watch safely from here."

"No!" Tabitha shouted after a moment, whacking the keyboard. "They've locked the systems!"

The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and used it on the computer for a second. "Try that" he told Tabitha.

"There we go," she said. "There's still a spiderbot working. It will probably be our best shot. Spiderbots are nice and small, should be able to move it around without noticing."

"Tabitha, you are brilliant!" the Doctor said, only to receive another punch from Alice. He turned to look at her. "Well, you are too, but I'd like to see you try and do anything with a computer." She punched him again. "It's true!"

The conversation was stopped short as the video and audio from the spiderbot came up on the computer screen. There were a few Daleks in the room.

"REPORT!" one of the Daleks said.

"ALL THE HUMANS HAVE BEEN EXTERMINATED. WE CAN PROCEED TO INVADE PLANET EARTH" another replied.

"Good, things are going as planned" another voice said.

"No!" the Doctor whispered, half shocked and half annoyed.

Something wheeled out of the shadows. It was like a man in a Dalek wheelchair. Man on top, Dalek on the bottom. "No sign of him, am I right?" the man said.

"AFFIRMATIVE!" a Dalek replied.

"Of course he survived. Of course he did!" the Doctor muttered angrily.

"Who is it?" Alice asked

"Davros," the Doctor replied. But he smiled. "Still scared of me though. They call me the Oncoming Storm. I've destroyed enough of their empires since the war, and it seems another is going to go down quickly."

"Oncoming Storm, eh?" Alice seemed impressed.

"Yeah" the Doctor said, seeming a bit out of it.

"So, what are we supposed to do?" Tabitha asked.

"No clue" the Doctor said. "Usually, by now, I would have a good reason to get rid of them, but all I know is that they're invading the earth, no reason why. They would have, I don't know, contacted me or something. They don't even know I'm here!"

"Isn't that good though?"

"I'd say yes but…" he rubbed his head. "I don't know. I need to get rid of them. All of them. If this is my last life, then this might be my last chance to destroy them all, and I have to make sure they stay destroyed. I can't let them live, because when I die… that leaves them to wreak havoc across the cosmos with no one to stop them!"

Alice laid a hand on his shoulder. "It's alright" she said. "You'll be able to do it. I know you will."

The Doctor smiled. "Thanks" he whispered.

"So what are we going to do?" Tabitha asked.

"Well," the Doctor said, standing up. "I'm going to see what I can do in the lines of weaponry. We need a weapon that can kill all of them before they can get away… I can't risk going and getting the TARDIS, the Daleks might notice." He turned to Tabitha.

"There's a weapons stock on the third floor" she said before he could even ask.

"I'll go see what I can find there then," he said. "You two keep an eye on the Daleks and see if they give anymore plans."

"Okay!" they replied.

"So," Alice said after the Doctor had left. "Do you think you could teach me how to use a computer?"

Tabitha laughed. "Sure!"

Alice learned quickly. She was exploring the fun of playing games at the moment.

"So," Tabitha said, "are you and the Doctor… you know… together?"

"No!" Alice replied, but more of on impulse than anything else. She got a game over. "No…" she said, but now a bit unsure. Were they? At first, the obvious answer was no. But it seemed that everyone had been hinting it from the beginning.

There was Darwin, but that might have just been to tick them off. Then there was that little girl, but she only had asked if she trusted him. Later, with the group of kids lead by Samuel, they seemed to think something was going on. There was also that dream they both had. Then Jem had asked her if she loved him.

But she had reason didn't she? Even if she only loved the Doctor as a brother. He always was just… cool. And a bit amazing. There were times when she was in danger, and he always saved her. He also seemed to be a bit annoyed when she had been threatened. And back on Poosh, when he had told her that he wouldn't want to spend his last life with anyone else.

So maybe he loved her, maybe only as a sister. Or a friendship sort of way.

But that still left the question: did she love him? Like, honest to goodness, love. Not as a sibling, or a friend.

She turned to look at Tabitha. "Are we?" she asked.

"Why do you think I asked you?" Tabitha replied.

Alice sighed.

"It sure looks like you are," Tabitha said. "If that makes you feel any better. Maybe you just haven't realized it yet. Do you love him?"

"I don't know… maybe I do… but even if I did, would he feel the same?"

"It looks like he might."

Alice sighed again and went back to the computer.

The Doctor returned later, arms full of random weaponry. "This is about all that will kill a Dalek" he said, putting them down. "I didn't know that you had particle guns yet."

"Disarray's a bit advanced" Tabitha explained.

"That makes some sense." The Doctor looked around. "Any news on the Daleks?"

"No" Tabitha said.

"No," Alice said, even quieter. Her mind was still swimming.
