Rose looked straight at the Doctor and Danny. "It was Stella!" she blurted out, the words hanging in the air as Danny took in the magnitude of what Rose had said.

"Wha-what?" Danny stammered, eyes wide with shock. "She...she killed Lindsay?"

"Yes. I'm-I'm so sorry Danny." Rose said sadly.

"I'll kill her!"

"Not that again!" the Doctor said, pushing Danny closer to the morgue.

"Doctor...we have to save Lindsay!" Rose said, not thinking about Danny being there.

"What?" Danny said, stopping in his tracks to spin around and look at the two strangers, taken aback by what the blonde girl had just said.

"Um...I meant…I got nothing," she replied, looking earnestly at the Doctor, anticipating him to come up with a quick solution that would fix everything.

"Well...what she meant was..." the Doctor let out a sigh."I have nothing either. Look Danny. We can go back in time and save your Lindsay. It's...a long story, but you don't need to worry about it. You'll never notice a thing and your friend will be back to normal in no time and you'll be happy again."

"I want to come with," Danny demanded.

"What? No, 'Time travel doesn't exist! You're insane!' comments?" the Doctor said, shocked by his willingness to believe.

"No. I'm desperate to believe anything that'll bring my Lindsay back." Danny dropped his voice to a lower tone, looking down at the ground, scuffing his heel on the tile. "I need her."

Rose frowned. "Come on Doctor. Just let him come along this once," she pleaded.

"No, Rose. We can't just drop Danny off in the past and come back to the present," he said, turning to Danny. "Sorry."

Rose hugged Danny, apologizing profusely for having to leave him behind, and then left with the Doctor. Danny stood in their wake, glowering. He wasn't going to take no for an answer.


Rose and the Doctor got back to the TARDIS and stepped inside, shutting the door behind them.

"So, now we plot in the time for earlier this morning...and...off we go!" he exclaimed as the TARDIS fired up.

As they prepared for the TARDIS to take off, they turned around and saw Danny entering, closing the door behind him.

"What the-Danny! You can't be here!" Rose nearly screeched, not expecting him to be there.

"No. He's not supposed to be. But I should have expected he would be," the Doctor said, slightly exasperated that he wouldn't listen to reason.

"Yes, you should have," Danny replied smugly, crossing his arms almost defiantly. "Now, how does this time travel thing wo-" but before he could finish his sentence, the TARDIS landed.

The Doctor and Rose both ran and flung open the door with Danny following behind them in close pursuit.

"Good," the Doctor said, mildly pleased. "They're not here yet."

"This...this is really the past?" Danny asked, amazed, looking around. The New York Times newspaper stand sitting nearby had that morning's newspaper for sale. Spend a dollar-fifty, receive all of the news that anyone with computer access could have read online the night before. He smiled to himself though. Either these two were skilled manipulators, or they really had just traveled through time in a beat up blue telephone box.

"Yes," Rose answered. "Shocking isn't it?"

"A little," Danny replied, wide-eyed and breathless with excitement.

Right then, Stella and Lindsay rounded the corner and started walking through the park, talking animatedly, the topic of their conversation unable to be determined by the trio.

"Lindsay!" Danny yelled excitedly and ran towards her, ecstatic to see her alive, a sight he never thought he'd see again.

"I was going to just isolate Stella, but I guess this is a completely different and uselessly dramatic way to do it," the Doctor said, rolling his eyes and approaching the scene.

Danny ran up and placed himself in front of Lindsay as Stella raised the tweezers above her head, making Lindsay shriek and recoil in terror. "Get away, you psycho bitch!" Danny yelled, shocking Stella out of the spell the telekinetic had put on her.

"And there it goes," the Doctor said, an air of amazement in his voice. "The telekinetic is gone now. Lindsay's death has been avoided."

Danny had in the meantime, pushed Stella away and was now hugging tightly Lindsay before leading her over to the Doctor and Rose. "This is Lindsay," Danny said, introducing her to the Doctor and Rose. "These two are Rose and Doctor...what was it again?"

"Just the Doctor," he said with a faint smile.

"Awesome. The Doctor and Rose. They saved your life," Danny said, beaming, his arm looped around Lindsay's shoulders.

"Wow...thanks, you two..." Lindsay said, still shocked from the events that had just transpired. "How can I ever repay you?"

"Just...live out your life," the Doctor replied. "Now, let's go Danny. We need to get you back to the present."

The Doctor turned away and started walking back to the TARDIS, but soon realized Danny wasn't following. "What's wrong?"

"I'm not leaving Lindsay again," Danny said firmly.

"You have to. If we bring Lindsay back, there'll be two Lindsays in the present," the Doctor said.

"Or...or you could just take us wherever you're going next," Lindsay suggested helpfully. "It'd definitely help me feel like we were paying you back."

"Oh no, we can't do that," the Doctor said, shaking his head rapidly.

"Why not? We can always use an extra pair of hands." Rose said, smiling at the young couple. "Plus, Lindsay seems really smart and Danny will give us an extra pair of muscles to help us out."

The Doctor stood silently for a few moments and then looked up at Rose. "If you're sure and they're sure, fine. But I don't want them to be on the TARDIS for two seconds and then start getting homesick, because we're not coming back."

"What's the TARDIS?" Lindsay asked, wrinkling her nose in confusion.

"The blue telephone box. Our...our time traveler. But it also takes us to different places. It...it's hard to explain," Rose said.

"And we're sure. We've wanted to take a small vacation anyways," Danny laughed, holding Lindsay closer to him.

The Doctor smiled. "It's settled then! Let's go!"

"Um...Doctor…I think your TARPIS or whatever you said it was may be on fire!" Lindsay screamed, pointing at the TARDIS, smoke tendrils pouring out of the doorway.

The Doctor turned around quickly and ran as fast as he could to the TARDIS. Once inside, he saw that the console was on fire and looked at what was smoking. "Oh...oh no." he said, his hands covering his mouth. "This is absolutely terrible."

"What's wrong?" Rose asked, having been hot on his footsteps, anxious to see what the problem was.

"The part that allows us to travel through other dimensions and through space is broken. Now it's just the 'TIS'!" the Doctor cried.

"Can't you just replace it?" Lindsay asked.

He whipped around and looked at her. "No! That's the worst part! It's the rarest part in the galaxy! I have no idea how we'll be able to get one now that we're stuck on Earth," he yelled, nearly frantic in the overwhelming thought of his TARDIS being irreparably broken.

"Can't you just do all the work you can on Earth?" Danny asked. "I mean...it'd be quite easy for you to just go through time solving crimes or whatever else you do."

"Yeah, Doctor. Calm down," Lindsay said, trying to offer him a reassuring, yet naïve, smile.

"That's such a small part of what I do. The galaxy is going to be in such immense danger," he sighed. "But yes...until I can figure this out, we're only going to be able to travel on Earth and through time. I guess that works fine as long as the mist stays on Earth." He paced nervously around the console area, fretting about the implications this newest development could have.

"The mist?" Danny asked. "What mist? I don't remember anything about any mist."

"Your friend Stella didn't kill Lindsay of her own accord. A very powerful telekinetic was controlling her actions and I won't rest until we find this telekinetic and destroy it," the Doctor stated firmly.

"We're in," Lindsay said. "Whatever you need us to do to help, just ask."

"Good. Because I'm going to need all three of you to efficiently work with and for me if we're going to get through this alive."
