A/N: Hey everyone I'm back and I'm so happy this one is one of my many favorite Tenth Doctor episodes hope you all like it enjoy! Yeah I know that episode wasn't two parts I just don't want to stay up all night writing this episode.
Sam's POV
I had met Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith a few days ago. Rose is really nice and so is Mickey they feel sorry for the situation that I'm in about me possibly never being able to get home. Rose had said to me "Keep your chin up if's there's a way The Doctor will find one. I'm positive he'll find a way for you to get home Samantha." Well that's Rose Tyler for you always kind and caring. We had just arrived in a space station the Doctor walked out first followed by Rose, Mickey, and I. Mickey said "It's a space ship I'm in a space ship on my first go." Rose said "It's kind of abandoned anyone on board?" The Doctor said "Nah nothing here, Well nothing dangerous, well not that dangerous. You know what just quick scan. In case there is something dangerous." I thought he does say "Well" a lot. Rose asked "What's the date how far did we go?" The Doctor said "About 3000 thousand years in to your future give or take." He flipped a switch lights and controls came on and the roof opened with a groan. "Fifty first century, Dagmar Cluster you're a long way from home Mickey two and half galaxies." I looked up it was actually space it was beautiful and amazing. Rose said "Mickey, Samantha, meet the universe." She had a wide grin on her face. Mickey was still staring in aww I saw The Doctor look around at the jumbled controls he said "Dear me, had some cowboys in here. Got a ton of repair work going on." He looked to the monitor and said "Now that's odd." I walked over and looked as well he said "Look at that all the warp engines are going full capacity. There's enough power running through this ship to punch a hole in the universe. But we're not moving so where's all that power going?" I knew exactly where it was going and this was definitely going to an interesting day for me. The Doctor asked "Can you smell that?" Rose said "Yeah, someone's cooking." Mickey said "Sunday roast definitely." I said "It does smell like cooking." He nodded and we walked around until we saw the fireplace The Doctor crouched down and I looked as well as a little girl that knew very well from the show appeared she said "Monsieur and Mademoiselle, what are you doing in my fireplace?" dialogue change that might not end well… The Doctor said "Oh, it's just a routine…Fire check this is my assistant." Yeah this won't end well….He said "Can you tell me what year it is?" she smiled and said "Of course I can! Seventeen hundred and twenty seven." The Time Lord said "Right. Lovely. One of my favourites. August is rubbish though. Stay indoors. Okay that's all for now. Thanks for your help. Hope you enjoy the rest of your fire. Night, Night!" she offered her fare well and we all stood up Mickey asked "You said this was the fifty-first century." I asked "Does this spaceship look like it comes from the seventeen hundreds?" The Doctor said "She's right; this ship is generating enough power to punch a hole in the universe. I think we just found the hole." I looked at the broken clock on the fireplace I kept thinking about those ticking robots. The Doctor was scrutinizing the fireplace as well he said "Gotcha!" and flicked the lever to revolve the fireplace and I was stuck with him now. Rose cried out "Doctor!" in surprise. We arrived on the other side of the fireplace. The Doctor walked over to the window and pulled the curtain back and it was snowing outside I must say it was beautiful out there. We had startled young Reinette as she sat up in shock at our presence. The Doctor immediately went to calm her down he said "It's okay; don't scream it's me it's the fireplace man and my assistant look." He got out his Sonic and lit the candle by her bed. He said "We were talking just a moment ago. We were in your fireplace." She looked at me and back at him saying "Monsieur, that was weeks ago. That was months!" he said "Really?" he scratched his ear. I thought things are going to get a little scary soon. He said "Must be a loose connection. Need to get a man in." his eyes finally landed on the clock on the mantle he said "Okay, that's scary." Reinette asked "You're scared of a broken clock?" Ha you think he's scared I'm scared out my bloody wits! He said "Just a bit scared yeah. Just a little tiny bit, because you see if this clock's broken…and it's the only clock in the room, then what's that?" we all heard the faint ticking sound my heart was raising even though my brain knew what was going to happen. I slowly approached Reinette I knew that thing was under her bed I felt sorry for her she must have been so scared I thought what if it was Lily my niece Amanda's daughter she was my new older sister? The Doctor didn't stop me from going to comfort Reinette as he said "Because, you see that's not a clock. You can tell by the resonance. Too big…Six feet…I'd say the size of a man." Reinette asked as I reached the bed "What is it?" The Doctor was trying to narrow down the source of the sound I sat up on the bed not dangling my legs over the edge he said "Now, let's think: If you were a thing that ticked and you were hiding in someone's bedroom, first thing you do, break the clock. No one notices the sound of one clock ticking, but two? You might start to wonder if you're really alone. He slowly approached the bed looking at the black underneath I said "It's alright you'll be okay." The Doctor got down to the floor and brought out his Sonic I heard the sound. Reinette and I jumped at the sound of clattering I felt a presence behind us it was the robot I dare not look at it the Doctor got up and he said "Reinette, don't turn around." I didn't need to be told anything I was scared out of my wits! He said "Hold still let me look?" he began to look inside her head he said "You've been scanning her brain! What you've crossed two galaxies and thousands of years just to scan a little girl's brain? What could there be in a little girl's mind worth blowing a hole in the universe?" Reinette said "I don't understand." She looked me and said "It wants me?" she turned to the monster I finally looked at it yep just as scary as all the other times I've watched this episode. She said "You want me?" the robot ticked and whirred and said in a very creepy familiar voice "Not yet, you are incomplete." The Doctor said "Incomplete? What's that mean incomplete?" the Doctor stood and raised his Sonic threateningly at the robot and said "You can answer her you can answer me! What do you mean, incomplete?" that provoked the robot it walked around the bed it raised its arm and the cutting tool flicked out Reinette cried out "Monsieur, be careful!" The Doctor said "Just a nightmare, Reinette. Don't worry about it. Everyone has nightmares." The robot slashed at him but he out maneuvered the robot and he had that ridiculous grin on his face as he said "Even monsters from under the bed have nightmares, don't you monster." He gave the robot a cocky grin he dodged another attack and the robots blade became embedded in the mantel piece. He said "Samantha?" I came over after comforting Reinette one last time. I came to the fireplace and The Doctor was between me and the robot. Reinette asked "What do monsters have nightmares about?" he said "ME!" and laughed and grinned like a maniac I rolled my eyes and smiled he really is a mad man with a box. He had activated the switch as the fireplace moved Rose said "Doctor!" at his sudden appearance. I got away from the clockwork robot The Doctor quickly grabbed a tube from the nearby metal rack and fired the contents over the robot. Mickey said "Excellent Ice gun." I said before the Doctor could "Fire extinguisher." The Doctor gave me a glance and Rose asked "Where did that thing come from?" the Doctor said "Here." He took out his Sonic as he was about to scan the thing Mickey asked "So why's it dressed like that?" he looked at me and said "Where did you two go?" The Doctor said "Field trip to France we had. Some kind of basic camouflage protocol. Nice needlework, shame about the face." He removed the mask and we saw the clockwork inside the glass like head it was weird to see I admit way different on the TV then right in front of you and being real instead of not existing. The Doctor said "Oh you are beautiful!" he put on his glasses and said "No really you are your gorgeous! Look at that! Space age clockwork I love it I got chills! Listen seriously I mean this from the heart and by the way count thoses. It would be a crime it would be an act of vandalism to disassemble you. But that won't stop me." As he got his Sonic out. The robot whirred and turned its head and teleported away to our surprise well not mine I knew it was going to do that. "Short range teleport can't have gone far could still be on the ship." He approached the fireplace I went with him Rose said "What is it?" The Doctor pointed at them and said "Don't go looking for it!" She asked "Where are you two going?" he said "Back in a sec." and he turned the switch and we were on our way back to France. Of course I knew they wouldn't listen to him oh boy this was going to be fun.
