A/N
Sorry it took me so long to update! I got distracted by other stories…
"Um… Doctor!" Rose cried as she saw the approaching masked Santas with lowered instruments. She remembered the last time she had seen them. It had been last Christmas, right after The Doctor had regenerated, and they had almost killed her and Mickey. The Doctor looked around, looking for a way to get away. Whipping out his sonic screwdriver, he pointed it at the cash machine he had just been at. It whirred, then starting shooting notes everywhere. Instantly, there was chaos in the street between The Doctor and Rose and the masked Santas as people around them scrambled madly to pick up the money. Rose held on to The Doctor's arm as he held eye contact with the Santas, warning them to stay away. Then, reaching over, he grabbed Rose's hand and said just one word.
"Run!"
"What are they doing here again?" Rose asked as they sprinted back towards the TARDIS.
"I don't know!" The Doctor cried. "But the cab Donna just drove off in was being driven by one! We have to catch her!"
"I promise you mate," Donna told the taxi driver. "I'll give you the rest when we get there. Oh, I look a mess." She said as she took off her veil, trying to catch her breath. "Hurry up!" she told the driver.
The Doctor and Rose reached the TARDIS at a full sprint, and he practically slammed into the door as he pulled out his key in his hurry to unlock the door.
"Hold on a minute, I said Chiswick!" Donna said in the taxi. "You missed the turning." She pointed out as she realized where they were. There was no response from the driver. "'Scuse me? We should have turned off back there." She tried again, but there was still no response. "We're going the wrong way!" she cried.
Back in the TARDIS, The Doctor was coaxing it into flight in his usual manner, pummeling it with the small mallet he kept nearby. Finally the Time Rotor began to rise and fall as the TARDIS took flight.
"But what drew them here?" Rose asked, half to herself as she stood off to the side by the Captain's chair. "Last time they were after you." The Doctor continued his maniac running around the console but answered.
"I don't know!" He cried. "But something is going on, and we're going to find out what!"
"What is it with us and Christmas?" Rose muttered under her breath. The Doctor just grinned at her.
"What the hell are you doing?" Donna demanded to know. "I'm late for the wedding! My own wedding!" She cried. "Do you get that?"
The Doctor grabbed the monitor on the console and brought it over and began tracking the taxi's progress.
"They're headed for the motorway!" Rose said.
"Hang on!" The Doctor told her, and Rose grabbed hold of the console as he coaxed the TARDIS to go faster.
The taxi had now joined the motorway and was cutting across the lanes, causing the other drivers to honk their horns angrily.
"Turn around! Turn this cab around right now!" Donna demanded. "Are you deaf or what?" She cried and reached forward and pulled the Santa hood off, revealing a robot underneath. Donna sat back in shock. "Oh my god." She whispered, then started pushing and hitting doors and windows of the cab, trying to attract the attention of the other drivers.
"Help me! Help me!" she cried, as she pummeled the glass. A man in a red van noticed her as they passed and he looked concerned, but he was helpless to do anything. "Help me! Help me! I'm being driving by a robot!" she cried to no avail.
Sparks flew from the TARDIS console, and it tilted dangerously almost throwing The Doctor and Rose off balance.
"Behave!" The Doctor scolded it, hitting it again with the mallet.
"Maybe she would if you quit hitting with that mallet." Rose suggested. The Doctor just glared at her and she giggled. Shaking his head, The Doctor turned back to the console and dropped the TARDIS out of the sky, spinning right above Donna's taxi. Donna saw it out of the back of the cab, but just sat back in the seat, not believing it.
"You've got to be kidding me." She muttered. On board the TARDIS, The Doctor grabbed Rose's hand and dragged her over to the console.
"Hold this down." He told her, placing her hand on the control. "And if I tell you, pull this lever then push this down." He said, showing her the controls. Rose nodded her understanding, biting her lip in concentration. The Doctor stumbled to the TARDIS door and threw it open. The TARDIS was next to Donna's taxi. Donna stared at him, her hands pressed against the window. "Open the door!" The Doctor yelled at her.
"Do what?" Donna yelled back, not quite hearing her.
"Open the door!" He yelled again.
"I can't! It's locked!" Donna cried. The Doctor braced himself against the TARDIS doorframe and dug out his sonic screwdriver. He pointed it at the cab door, allowing Donna to push the window open.
"What did you do?" Donna asked.
"Something…Martian." The Doctor yelled. This was not the time or the place to explain about the sonic screwdriver.
"Santa's a robot!" Donna cried. This was not the way she had envisioned her wedding day going.
"Donna, open the door!" the Doctor called to her.
"What for?" She demanded to know.
"You've got to jump!" He told her. The robot driving the cab turned his head slightly at this.
"I'm not bleedin' flip jumping!" Donna cried shrilly. "I'm supposed to be getting married!" Here, the robot put his foot down, and the taxi sped up, passing the TARDIS.
"Now Rose!" The Doctor cried over his shoulder. Rose pulled the lever then pushed the control he had shown her. There were several small explosions and sparks from the console. Rose gave a small yell, trying to wave away the smoke and keep her hand on the control the Doctor had shown her, but the TARDIS sped up, bouncing a little. It ended up bouncing on the roof a car before catching back up with the taxi. "Nice driving!" The Doctor called as he tried to maintain his balance and not fall of the TARDIS.
"Still better than yours!"Rose called back. The Doctor smiled, then pulled out the sonic screwdriver again and pointed it at the robot, disabling it.
"Listen to me!" he called to Donna. "You've got to jump!"
"I'm not jumping on a motorway!" She called back obstinately. No way!
"Whatever that thing is, it needs you!" he yelled, nodding towards the robot. "And whatever it needs you for, it's not good! Now, come on!"
"I'm in my wedding dress!" She yelled back, protesting.
"Yes!" The Doctor cried, exasperated. "You look lovely! Come on!" Donna hesitated, then breathing deeply to try and calm herself, she opened the door, getting into position to jump. The Doctor held out his arms, indicating that he would catch her.
"I can't do it!" She cried, afraid as she looked down and realized how fast they were going. This was insane!
"Trust me." The Doctor told her calmly, trying to calm her fears enough that she would jump to the safety of the TARDIS. Behind him, Rose called out.
"Please Donna! You have to trust him! It's the only way!" Donna hesitated for a moment longer then with a scream jumped out of the taxi and into the TARDIS where she landed on top of The Doctor and they both collapsed in a heap on the floor. He kicked the doors shut, then ran back to the console and flew the TARDIS back up into the sky and away from the motorway.
