Sam's POV
I kept thinking about Mickey he was going to get into so much trouble. Then there was the trouble that was ahead of a whole army of it in fact. It was dark out and we were crouched down near the bushes of the Tyler residence. The Doctor said "They've got visitors." Rose said "February first, Mum's birthday. Even in a parallel universe she still loves a party." The Doctor said "Well given Pete Tyler's guess list, I wouldn't mind a look. And there is one guaranteed way of getting inside." Rose and I smiled and said "Psychic paper." He looked at us and said "Who do you want to be?" We snuck in disguised as waitresses and a waiter. Yeah I know I'm fifteen but surprisingly enough I can pass off as older for my height. You would be surprised how often I've been mistaken as an eighteen year old. Rose said "We could've been anyone." The Doctor said "Got us in, didn't it?" Rose said "You're in charge of the Psychic paper. We could've been guests, celebrities, Sir Doctor, Dame Rose, and Dame Samantha. We end up serving. I did enough of this back home." The Doctor said "If you want to know what's going on. Work in the kitchens. According to Lucy, That man over there." Rose didn't let him finish she asked "Who's Lucy?" He said "She's carrying the salmon pinwheels." Rose said "Oh, that's Lucy isn't it?" he said "Yeah." I detect a hint of jealously from Rose oh boy won't this be great. He continued "Lucy says that is the President of Great Britain." Rose asked "What there's a President not a Prime Minister?" I said "Seems so." Rose said "Or maybe Lucy's just a bit thick." Pete Tyler called out to his guests. "Uh excuse me! Thank you very much. If I could just have everyone's attention thank you very much. Um, I'd just like to say thank you to you all." Rose had started entering the room from which he was speaking from. The Doctor and I followed after her as Pete continued his speech. "For coming on this uh…Very special occasion my wife's…Thirty ninth. Trust me on this. And so without any further ado here she is, the birthday girl, my lovely wife, Jackie Tyler." Rose looked up the stairs she could see her mother well not really her mother per say. Everyone applauded and cheered to see Jackie Tyler. She said as see reached Pete at the stairs "Now I'm not giving a speech. That's what my parties are famous for. No work, no politics, just a few good mates and plenty of black market whisky. Pardon me mister President. So, yeah, get on with it. Enjoy, enjoy!" everyone applauded and she and Pete walked down the stairs. The Doctor said to Rose "You can't stay, even if there was some way of telling them." Rose said "'Course I can't. I've still got my Mum at home. My real Mum I couldn't just leave her could I? It's just…They've got each other. Mum's got no one." The Doctor said "She's got you. Those two haven't. All these different worlds and not one of them get it right." Jackie yelled "Rose!" as a little Yorkie came running. Oh boy that's going to have an effect. The Doctor and I tried to keep a straight face but we couldn't we laughed it was kind of funny I guess okay maybe not. The Doctor and I said "Sorry." Rose certainly did not like this place now. We went back to our false identity jobs as waitresses and a waiter. The Doctor and I had served everything me had on the platters we were carrying I followed him as we left the room. We walked back when we noticed a computer sporting the C for Cybus Industries. We quietly looked around and walked into the room and shut the door. He pulled out his glasses and smiled we might just figure out what's really going on around here.
Rose's POV
I watched the other Jackie laughing and enjoying the party. Pete Tyler walked up and said "I remember her twenty first, Pint of cider in The George." I said "Sorry. Champagne?" He said "Oh might as well. I'm paying for it." I said "Big night for you." he said "Well, for her. Still, she's happy." I said "Yeah, she should be. It's a great party." He asked "Do you think?" I switched the hand my platter was in and held up my thumb and said "You can trust me." He said "Unh-unh you can trust me on this." I smiled he was a nice man. I said "That's it. Sorry. Yeah. So, um, how long have you two been married?" he said "Twenty years." I said "No kids or…" he said "We kept putting it off. She said she didn't want to spoil her figure." I said "It's not too late. She's only forty." He said "Thirty nine." I smiled and said "Oh, right thirty nine." We both laughed. He said "Still too late. I moved out last month. But we're gonna keep it quiet, you know it's bad for business. Why am I telling you all this? We haven't met before, have we? I don't know you just seem so…" I asked "What?" he said "I don't know. Just sort of…Right. Stevie, how's things?" he walked away to talk with his friend. I watched him go.
Sam's POV
The Doctor and I had gained access to the computer a video started playing it said "The most precious thing on Earth is the human brain. This is the ultimate upgrade our greatest step into cyberspace." The Doctor and I looked worryingly at the screen he realized and said "Cybus!" he opened the door and we ran out of the room. We spotted Rose and the three of us went to a window and looked out. The Doctor said "It's happening again." Rose asked "What do you mean?" The Doctor said "I've seen them before." Rose asked "What are they?" The Doctor and I said "Cybermen." Glass shattered nearby and people screamed. Everyone was cornered in a group by the Cybermen. The President of Britain said "Mr. Lumic." Lumic replied saying "Mr. President, I suppose a remark about crashing the party would be appropriate at this point." The president said "I forbade this." Lumic said "These are my children sir. Would you deny my family?" Rose asked "What are they robots?" The Doctor said "Worse than that." The President asked "Who were these people?" Lumic said "Doesn't matter." Rose said "They're people?" I said "They were. Till they had all of their humanity taken away that's a living brain. Jammed inside a Cybernetic body, with a heart of steel all emotions removed." Rose asked "Why no emotion?" The Doctor said "Because it hurts." The President said "I demand to know, Lumic! These people! Who were they!?" Lumic said "The homeless and wretched and useless. Until I saved them elevated them and them life eternal. And now I leave you in their capable hands. Good night sir. Good night Mr. President." A Cyberman walked up and faced the President then said "We have been upgraded." The Doctor asked "Into what?" The Cyberman said "The next level of mankind. We are human.2 every citizen will receive a free upgrade. You will become like us." The President said "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for what's been done to you. But listen to me this experiment ends tonight." The Cyberman said "Upgrade is compulsory." The President said "And if I refuse?" The Doctor said "Don't." The President said again "What if I refuse?" The Doctor said "I'm telling you don't!" The President said "What happens if I refuse?" The Cyberman said "Then you are not compatible." The President said "What happens then?" The Cyberman said "You will be deleted." Yep the catchphrase of The Cybermen the word "Delete." That Cyberman then placed its hand on the President's neck and shoulder and was as they say deleted. The Doctor grabbed Rose's and my hand and we ran as people screamed in panic. The Doctor said "There's nothing we can do!" we had run out of the building by now Rose said "But my Mum's in there!" she let go of his hand. The Doctor said "She is not your mother! Come on!" he grabbed her hand again. We ran again but more Cybermen came marching in our direction. We turned back and started running down a pebble path around the corner of the house. Pete Tyler had run out a window that was already shattered Rose noticed and yelled "Pete! Pete!" he came running after us. The Doctor asked "Pete is there a way out?" Pete stopped and pointed and said "The side gates!" all four of us ran Pete asked The Doctor and I "Who are you? How do you know so much?" The Doctor and I both said "You wouldn't believe us in a million years!" we stopped short more Cybermen came marching at us. We ran back from them this was so not good! Rose asked "Who's that?" Two people came running in flowed by a truck. We were being approached by Cybermen all around. The person yelled "Get behind me!" we ran to them and Rickey and his friend fired their guns at the oncoming Cybermen the bullets didn't even make a dent in them. They stopped marching and stood there. Rose said to Rickey "Oh my god, look at you. I thought I'd never see you again!" she hugged Rickey she had no idea this was not really Mickey. Rickey on the other hand looked confused as hell. He said "Yeah no offence sweetheart but who the hell are you?" The real Mickey came running he said "Rose!" we turned around Mickey said "That's not me. That's like the other one." The Doctor said "Oh as if things weren't bad enough now there's two Mickeys!" The other one said "It's Rickey." Mickey said "There are more of them." The Cyberman marched a circle around us we were trapped. Now I'm starting to think that maybe those clockwork robots weren't all that bad! Rose said "We're surrounded." Rickey cocked his gun The Doctor said "Put the gun down! Bullets won't stop them." Rickey's friend fired at them anyway yep no one listens to The Doctor half the time. The Doctor yelled "No stop shooting now!" he got the gun away and made him stop. The Doctor yelled "We surrender!" he said to us "Hands up." We raised our hands to show a sign of surrender The Doctor said "There's no need to damage us. We're good stock. We volunteer for the upgrade program. Take us to be processed." A Cyberman said "You are rogue elements." The Doctor said to it "But we surrender." The Cyberman said "You are incompatible." The Doctor yelled at the Cyberman "But this is a surrender!" The Cyberman said "You will be deleted." The Doctor got angry and said "But we surrender! Listen to me! WE surrender!" The Cyberman said "You are inferior. Man will be reborn as Cybermen, but you will perish under maximum deletion." The Cyberman repeated "Delete, Delete, Delete." We were in so much trouble now. I've never been more scared in my life that is until now!
