A/N I've had this chapter ready for quite a while...I know I haven't updated for about 2 weeks, so I got this all ready to go when suddenly decided it would be a good time to install updates (I assume) and therefore disable the Document Manager. Sorry for the wait, but here it is! And merci beaucoup to all my reviewers. WeepingAngel, I have adopted the name of Mr. Splenderifous for my character! Thanks! He will have a real name in the end. Maybe.

Disclaimer: Did you know some people make up little disclaimer rhyme/poem type things? I'm tried to think of one but failed, so...I do not own Doctor Who!

"UNDER ATTACK! UNDER ATTACK! UNDER ATTACK FROM HUMAN SUBSTANCE KNOWN AS SEA! SHIP DETECTED BY THE MIST FORMS!"

"What? What's that supposed to mean?"

After being kidnapped my "Mr. Splederifous" (as Rose had taken to calling him in her head) and being brought aboard his ship, Rose was not in the best of moods. There were several reasons for this, including the fact that the Doctor had been left as a snack for the mist monsters.

Mr. Splederifous seemed equally perplexed by the warning.

"Oh dear, I hate it when this happens," he sighed. "Sometimes the "sea" goes a bit crazy and starts beating up my ship with its fluid peaks. And it makes more of its fluid fall out of the sky."

Rose had to think for a minute before she got it.

"A storm," she summarised.

"Storm! A storm!" Mr Splederifous tried out the new "human term" with excitement. Rose wondered if he would actually enjoy reading the dictionary. It seemed highly likely.

Suddenly the ship lurched sickeningly.

"DANGER! DANGER! ENGAGE SHIELDING AT 100%!" Computer barked as Rose and Mr. Splederifous were thrown across the room. The ship was whirling, whirling, whirling and Rose couldn't even stand. She was going to have a lot of bruises when this was over.

"Computer! Do the...what's it called? Anti-shake thingamajig!" Mr. Splenderifous barked.

"POWER FAILING!"

"O.K...how about...the weapons! Do we have weapons?"

"WEAPONS INEFFECTIVE!"

"Great!" he beamed, his face glowing with pleasure.

"How is that great?" Rose spluttered.

"I was practicing the human speech technique of "sarcasm"."

"Can't you practice it later? We're gonna get killed here!"

"SPACECRAFT APPROACHING! ACCESS DENIED!"

A crunching sound ripped through the room. It sounded like something was chewing on metal.

"OUTER CASING BREACHED BY MIST FORMS."

"This is not good in many ways. They're eating their way into the ship! Crunching us up like Crunchy Nut Cornflakes! What do we do, Rose?"

"You're the pilot for God's sake!"

Her only reward was a helpless, clueless, hopeless look.

"What about the shields?" she asked, struggling to think her way out. She was clever, she could do it. Oh my God, this is it! I'm dying! With a guy who thinks "splenderifous" is a word!"

"POWER FAILING. POWER FAILING."

Another crunch shook the ship. The gushing of the sea water from outside became audible.

"How long?" Rose asked.

"WALLS ARE 20 METRES THICK. 15 MINUTES. 15 MINU..."

And just like that Computer was dead. Silence filled the room. The ship rocked violently.

"No power. No Computer. But there must be something, some other sort of defence system!" Rose shook Mr. Splenderifous by the shoulders desperately.

"How am I supposed to know?"

"It's your ship!"

"Yes, but I cannot remember!"

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

Rose ransacked everything that resembled a cupboard. Various bits and pieces flew through the air. Mr. Splenderifous picked a metallic object wonderingly. Did this belong to him? Or was it Earthling? He'd spent the last two days reading grammar text books and could remember every single one of the new human terms. Yet he could not even remember his own name. Did he have a family? Friends? What did his home look like? He could only remember Computer and the sea and the human girl called Rose. And the mist forms. Why did he know them so well?

"Aha! This looks more like it!"

Rose had found a big, gun like object.

"Do you think this would work?" she asked.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

"Possiblo. Rose, do you have a family?"

"Yeah. My mum. And the Doctor. And Mickey, I suppose."

"I think maybe I did too. But they look all foggity and I can't quite see..."

For the first time, Rose felt a rush of sympathy for the strange fellow. Imagine what it would be like if she couldn't remember the Doctor, her mum or Mickey...her life would be so empty!

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Water began to trickle in from the ceiling. There was no time for sympathy! Rose found the trigger and held the gun like thing up to the ceiling.

CRUNCH!

The trickle of water became a small stream. Mr. Splenderifous managed to scrounge up some sort of metal pole to use as a weapon.

Vworp. Vworp. Vworp.

Was Rose hearing things? Was a light TARDIS breeze wafting through the room? Were her engines calling a greeting? Or was it the mist monsters creating yet another illusion? She decided that, knowing her luck, it was probably the latter and didn't turn around. They were not sneaking in while she was distracted. She braced herself as the stream of water grew into a river. A shallow puddle was growing on the floor.

Mr. Splenderifous blinked as a blue box came into focus. Had Rose not noticed? Surely a human's senses could...

The door creaked open.

"Hello!" the Doctor called cheerfully. Rose spun round, holding up her weapon. Her expression was one of astonishment, fear and hope. The Doctor frowned.

"Rose, why are you pointing a hairdryer at me?"

A/N The only bit I wasn't sure about was where Rose didn't turn round when she heard the TARDIS...maybe she would, but I wanted to make it more dramatic. Or something. Review please!
