Hi everyone, here's the first update of 2009 at 3:35 in the morning on New Years Day. Well, first of all, before I start I'd like to say. I hope you all had a good Christmas. Next I'd like to say Happy New Year to you all and all the best for 2009. I hope that alll you writers who are reading this have good ideas for the next year and that your stories are a success. Okay, here we go.

Chapter 65

The Doctor and Rose left the room and ran down the stairs, the Doctor shoved out of the front door, but Rose hovered, she thought that she had seen something "Rose, come on." he said as he left the house "Rose! We're gonna lose them again!" He couldn't wait for her any longer, he had to leave, he just hoped that she was safe from whatever was causing this.

--

Rose entered the Connolly's living room, trying to find out where what she had seen was coming from, she looked at the back of the TV. The Connollys entered the house again "How did they know?" Tommy was asking his father "How did the find her? Who told them?"

"You!" Mr Connolly said, noticing that Rose was still there "Get the hell out of my house!"

"I'm going." she said, getting up "I'm done. Nice to meet you, Tommy. Mrs Connolly. And as for you, Mr Connolly, only an idiot hangs the Union flag upside down. Shame on you." she grinned and ran out of the house.

The Doctor followed the police to the same dead end as he had earlier that day "Oh, very good." he said finally realising what they had done. "Very good." He got off the scooter and began to investigate. He found a way to get in and opened it with the sonic screwdriver. He stood at the entrance to a warehouse and watched as the men who took Tommy's Gran locked her up. He ran in to investigate further. He reached a gate that had been padlocked shut so, he took out the sonic screwdriver and unlocked it. He then removed the chain and opened the gate. He walked through and closed the gate behind him.

He reached the second gate and found the same thing, so he opened it with the screwdriver and entered, all around him were people who had no faces. He used the torch that Mrs Moore had given to him in the parallel universe and shone it on them.

Suddenly bright lights shone from behind him "Stay where you are!" ordered a male voice.

Rose entered Magpie's Marvellous Tellys and the owner, Mr Magpie spoke to her "I'm sorry, miss." he said "I'm afraid you're too late. I was just about to lock the door."

"Yeah?" she said "Well, I wanna buy a telly."

"Come back tomorrow, please." he said

"You'll be closed, won't you?" Rose asked

"What?" he asked

"For the big day?" she said "The Coronation?"

"Yes, yes, of course." he replied "The big day. I'm sure you'll find somewhere to watch it. Please go."

Rose walked over to the counter "Seems to me half of London's got a television, since you're practically giving them away."

"I have my reasons."

"And what are they?" Rose asked

One of the televisions came on by itself "Hungry!" a female voice said "Hungry!"

"What's that?" asked Rose

"It's just the television. One of these modern programmes. Now, I really do think you should leave right now." Mr Magpie said, but Rose wasn't buying it, she'd travelled with the Doctor for long enough to know when there was something going on and this was one of those times

"Not until you've answered my questions." Rose said "How comes your televisions are so cheap?"

"It's my patriotic duty." he answered "Seems only right that as many folk as possible get to watch the coronation. We may be losing the Empire, but we can still be proud! Twenty million people they reckon will be watching. Imagine that. And 20 million people can't be wrong, eh? So why don't you get yourself back home and get up bright and early for the big day?"

"No, I', not leaving till I've seen everything."

"I need to close."

"Mr Magpie, something's happening out there." Rose said "Ordinary people are being struck down and changed and the only new thing in the house is a television. Your television. What's going on?"

"I knew this would happen." he said "I knew I'd be found out." He locked the door

"All right, then, just you and me." she said "You gonna come clean, then? What's really in it for you?"

"For me?" he asked "Perhaps some peace."

"From what?"

"From her." he said nodding towards the telly

"Well, that's just a woman on the telly." Rose said "That's just a programme."

"What a pretty little girl."

"Oh, my God." Rose said "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes. I'm talking to you, little one. Unseasonably chilly for the time of year, don't you think?"

"What are you?"

"I'm The Wire. And I'm hungry!"

The Wire began to suck her face off. "Magpie, help me!"

"Just think of that audience tomorrow, my dear, all settling down to watch the Coronation. Twenty million people." he said "Things will never be the same again. I'm sorry. So sorry."

"Help me!"

"Good night, children, everywhere."

Okay, that's that chapter over, the next one will be up when I get up tomorrow, whenever that will be, 'cause I'm falling asleep here, but I'm not going to my bed yet. The next chapter of Series 3 with Rose will be up then too. Also, this year, well this month, I'll be doing the sequel to with a little help part two, keep an eye out for that. I'm gonna go now and watch another episode of C.S.I:Miami before I go to bed.
