"Must have come down somewhere quite close. Within a mile, anyway. And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe a month." The Doctor stated, walking down the ally with Rose behind him.
Rose didn't hear Lyra following so she turned around.
"Lynne? You coming?" She called to the Reshiannan.
Lyra whipped around to look at Rose.
"O-of course." Lyra stammered, running to catch up.
"A month? We were right behind it." Rose continued her conversation with the Doctor.
"It was jumping time tracks all over the place. We're bound to be a little bit out. Do you want to drive?" The Doctor rambled on.
"Yeah. How much is a little?" Rose asked.
"A bit."
"Is that exactly a bit?"
"Ish."
Lyra walked right past the two of them, interrupting they're conversation.
"Well. No need for a tech scan. Something that size would land with a BANG! We should ask around." Lyra informed the two, shouting the last word, causing Rose to jump.
"Lynne is right. Something that size would be pretty loud. Let's go with it." The Doctor took out the psychic paper and showed it to the two girls.
"Doctor John Smith, Ministry of Asteroids." Rose read out loud.
"It that what is says? It's blank for me." Lyra stared at the paper.
"Really? Hmm. Psychic paper. It tells you-" The Doctor began but was cut off by the girls.
"Whatever you want it to tell us." Lyra and Rose said together.
The Doctor and Rose gave her some suspicious glances.
The Doctor walked towards a door marked "Deliveries Only."
"Sorry." The Doctor apologized.
"Not very Spock, is it? Just asking." Rose snorted slightly.
"Door, music, people. What do you think?" The Doctor began to open the door.
"I think you should do a scan for alien tech. Give me some Spock, for once. Would it kill you?" Rose whined.
"Are you sure about that t-shirt?" The Doctor asked, off topic.
"Too early to say. I'm taking it out for a spin." Rose smiled looking at her shirt.
"Not a very good idea this year." Lyra chuckled, looking up into the star speckled sky.
Her ears picked up a far voice.
"Mummy? Mummy?"
Lyra stiffened.
"Come on if you're coming. It won't take a minute." The Doctor opened the door with the words and walked in.
Lyra followed him in behind, not wanting to stay another minute outside where Jamie was.
Rose stayed behind.
"Rose. I think you should come with us. Maybe we could have a few drinks." Lyra inquired, tugging at Rose's sleeve.
Rose shook Lyra off.
"I think I'll stay." She looked back at the two aliens before going back up the road.
-Nightclub-
"For nobody else gave me the thrill. When I have uphold silence still, it had to be you, wonderful you. It had to be you!" The woman on stage sang.
She walked off the stage and everyone began to clap.
The Doctor and Lyra jogged up to the mic.
The Doctor gripped onto it, beginning to speak.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Could I have everybody's attention just for a mo? Be very quick. Hello! Might seem like a stupid question, but has anything fallen from the sky recently?" He asked the crowed.
There was a slight silence.
Then loads of laughter.
"Sorry, have I said something funny? It's just, there's this thing that I need to find. Would've fallen from the sky a couple of days ago." He asked again.
Lyra grabbed the mic from the Time Lord.
"HEY! As ANYTHING fell from the sky recently?" She asked, yelling into it.
Everyone froze in shock.
An air raid siren went off outside.
All the people in the club scurried to their feet and made their way to the door, rushing out.
Lyra turned around, sighing.
She saw the poster on the wall.
"Doctor." She tugged the Time Lord's sleeve.
He turned and saw the poster.
"Hitler will send no warning."
"Shit." Lyra mumbled before following the Doctor out.
-Allyway-
The two of them walk along the now-empty street towards the TARDIS.
"Rose?" The Doctor called for his companion.
A cat nearby meowed.
Lyra got distracted and headed for the kitty.
It was a calico kitten, abandon and lost.
Lyra's face felt warm at the sight of the poor kitten.
She picked it up.
"Aww. Poor thing. You poor, innocent, lost thing. Tell you what. I'll take care of you. Soon, you'll be healthy and happy!" She started to pet the kitten's ears back. It squeaked a meow.
Lyra felt warmer now.
The kitten's eyes changed from a bright yellow to a unique purple.
It began to purr.
"That's it, little guy. I think I'll call you Meebles. You like that name?" Lyra asked the kitten.
It squeaked again, gently bobbing it's head.
"Alright. Meebles it is!" Lyra smiled, turning, kitten in arms.
She ran towards the Doctor.
He was talking on the TARDIS phone.
"What in Mallibeyan stars?" Lyra asked herself, jogging towards the Time Lord.
"How did you ring here? This isn't a real phone. It's not wired up to anything." The Doctor asked, trying to get some sort of answer.
"Mummy? Are you there Mummy?"
The other end hangs up and the dial tone sounds.
The Doctor puts the phone away and turns to Lyra.
"Have you found her?" He asked her.
"No. But I found Meebles!" Lyra squealed, holding up Meebles.
"Oh, goodness. Poor thing. Wait. Meebles?" The Doctor looked at Lyra strangely.
"Yeah. I'm keeping the little guy." Lyra smiled brighter.
"No. Your not keeping the cat." The Doctor pointed at Meebles.
"I'm not sure if I'm leaving soon or not but either way, I'll be taking Meebles with me." Lyra nodded, ending the conversation.
The Doctor groaned and knocked on the TARDIS door.
"Rose? Rose, are you in there?"
No answer.
The Doctor let out an annoyed hiss and walked away.
Lyra walked next to him, holding Meebles lovingly.
-Lloyd's House/Backyard-
The Doctor found a nearby bin and stands on it, peering into someone's backyard.
Lyra climbs next to him carefully.
"Come on, hurry up, get in there. Come on. Arthur! Arthur, Will you hurry up? Didn't you hear the siren?" Mrs. Lloyd called to her husband, Mr. Lloyd who rushed out.
"Middle of dinner, every night. Blooming Germans. Don't you eat?"
"I can hear the planes!" Mrs. Lloyd cried.
"Don't you eat?" Mr. Lloyd asked again.
Lyra rolled her eyes.
"Oh, keep your voice down, will you? It's an air raid! Get in. Look, there's a war on." Mrs. Lloyd pushed her husband along towards the bomb shelter.
"I know there's a war on. Don't push me." Mr. Lloyd rushed along.
The Lloyd's family all went into the shelter, closing the door.
Lyra began to get down when she and the Doctor heard a snap.
She looked back up.
Nancy ran towards the house, sack in hand.
"What's she up to?" Lyra asked.
-Lloyd's Kitchen-
The Doctor and Lyra snuck in, sitting in a chair, completely invisible to the children around them.
"Must be the TARDIS keys." Lyra whispered to the Doctor.
"You've got one?" The Doctor asked, whispering back.
"Yep, Future you gave it to me."
The kids passed around the meat.
"Thank you, miss."
"Thank you, miss."
"Thank you, miss."
The Doctor and Lyra joined, nonchalantly.
"Thank you, miss." They said together, taking some meat.
Everyone gasps.
"It's all right. Everybody stay where you are!" Nancy called to the kids.
"Good here, init? Who's got the salt?" The Doctor asked.
Lyra handed him the small shaking.
The Doctor nodded, smiling.
"Back in your seats. They shouldn't be here either." Nancy ordered.
"So, what's the story, morning-glory?" Lyra asked the kids as they sat down.
"What do you mean?" One kid named Ernie asked.
"You're homeless, right? Living rough?" The Doctor inquired.
"Why do you want to know that? Are you two coppers?" Another kid named Jim asked.
"Of course I'm not a copper. What's a copper going to do with you lot anyway? Arrest you for starving? I make it 1941. You lot shouldn't even be in London. You should've been evacuated to the country by now." The Doctor rambled.
"I was evacuated. Sent me to a farm." Alf, another kid asked.
"So why on Earth did you return, boy?" Lyra asked, taking a bite of her single slice of meat.
"There was a man there." Alf replied.
"Well. There's men everywhere, isn't there?" Lyra asked.
Everyone ignored her question.
"Yeah, same with Ernie. Two homes ago." Jim spoke up.
"Shut up. It's better on the streets anyway. It's better food." Ernie argued.
"Yeah. Nancy always gets the best food for us." Jim stated.
"So, that's what you do, is it, Nancy?" The Doctor asked Nancy.
"What is?" Nancy asked.
"Sirens sound during dinner, families hide, the homeless eat good." Lyra explained.
"Something wrong with that?" Nancy asked, raising and eyebrow.
"Absolutely not! It's beautiful!" Lyra exclaimed.
"Why'd you follow me? What do you want?" Nancy asked.
"Damn she asks a lot." Lyra thought to herself.
"I want to know how a phone that isn't a phone gets a phone call. You seem to be the one to ask." The Doctor inquired.
"I did you a favour. I told you not to answer it, that's all I'm telling you." Nancy informed, closing her eyes.
"Great, thanks. And I want to find a blonde in a Union Jack. I mean a specific one. I didn't just wake up this morning with a craving. Anybody seen a girl like that?" The Doctor asked.
Lyra held in a snort.
Nancy comes over to the Doctor and takes his plate.
"What have I done wrong?" The Doctor asked, surprised.
"You took two slices." Nancy informed.
Lyra looked at Nancy, her eyes glowing purple.
Nancy's eyes did for a second as well.
"But that's alright. I'm sure there will be enough for later." Nancy smiled, lowering the plate.
The Doctor nodded and took another bite of his meat.
Lyra smiled.
"No blondes, no flags. Anything else before you leave?" Nancy asked, returning to her spot.
"Yeah, there is actually. Thanks for asking. Something I've been looking for. Would've fallen from the sky about a month ago, but not a bomb. Not the usual kind, anyway. Wouldn't have exploded. Probably would have just buried itself in the ground somewhere, and it would have looked something like this." The Doctor quickly sketched a picture.
Lyra snatched it from him and ripped the page away, she then proceeded to draw her own image.
She showed Nancy.
The picture was almost perfect.
Some shading was off.
A knock on the door and everyone jumps, excluding the Doctor and Lyra.
"Mummy? Are you in there, mummy?" Jamie asked.
Lyra's hair stood on end.
The Doctor moves aside a curtain, revealing Jamie.
Chills run through Lyra's body.
"Mummy?"
"Who was the last one in?" Nancy asked.
"Him." Ernie pointed to a random kid.
"No, he came round the back. Who came in the front?"
"Me." Alf admitted.
Lyra jumped to her feet and made her way to the front door where she locked it good.
"Mummy? Mummy? Mummy?"
Lyra tightly closed her eyes, shaking her head.
She returned to the kitchen.
"What's this, then? It's never easy being the only child left out in the cold, you know." The Doctor argued.
"I suppose you'd know." Nancy rolled her eyes.
"He sure as hell knows and so do I." Lyra glared gently from the doorway.
"It's not exactly a child." Nancy informed.
Lyra nodded at Nancy.
"Mummy?"
