Disclaimer- I do not own Doctor Who. If I did? Well, there would be more 9th Doctor and 10th Doctor! And of course, I would still have the wonderful 11th doctor at some point.

Authors note- Here is another Chapter. This time, The Christmas Invasion, and Bad Wolf makes an appearance for a few moments! My apologies for the word for word moments again, however, some of it was needed. I felt that they would have been on the way home and I'm sure some would wonder how 9 would handle this issue! I hope I did him justice! Also, any errors are my own. I have no Beta so I make all the mistakes! Thanks for all the reviews as well as follows everyone!


The coordinates had been set to go back to Earth for Christmas, which She herself was excited about, for some reason she was having these ideas that she'd never see her mother again and she had no idea what that was for. She knew she needed to focus on something, something from her future? But the thoughts were slippery. In her head she kept hearing she would understand in time. The Doctor was standing on one side of her now, Jack on the other and those two were cracking jokes of some kind as she focused on the feelings she had that the TARDIS was trying to tell her something.

Any thoughts of what was going on were pushed away as suddenly the TARDIS Seemed to make its own path or was pulled somewhere it didn't need to be. The Doctor finally spoke then. "Something wrong is going out there." He sent Rose and Jack one of those smiles and looked at them. "Want to find out what it is?"

And of course Rose and Jack were just as eager to find out what was going on, so the doors of the TARDIS were opened and outside of it they stepped, the first thing that was noted was Harriet Jones, looking very happy to see him and Rose, Rose was quickly enveloped in a hug by Harriet and Rose was gladly hugging her back.

"Why Harriet Jones, Nice to see you. Didn't quite expect to see you here though, I have to admit."

She took a moment to look at him then as he spoke and then finally her mouth opened and she spoke. "Its amazing to see you too Doctor, we were hoping we'd see you today."

He grinned for a moment. "Well, its Earth, there's a threat, it could change all of humanity and history! It's time for me to be here."

And then the Sycorax leader spoke, snapping out so the Doctor would pay attention to him and him alone. Jack was standing in front of Harriet and Rose, protecting them, all of them quiet as the leader spoke. "If I may interrupt!"

"Well, sorry about that. I was a bit busy catching up you know. Lets see. You've invaded Earth, controlling people to walk to the edge of buildings and throw themselves off it. That correct?"

But then the button was noticed by the Doctor and he grinned. "This is an interesting button. It just screams to be left alone doesn't it…not that I do what I'm told.. Must be important.

He moved past the other Sycorax, heading towards the Button and looking it "Well let's take a look at this control matrix." It was opened and he sniffed at it for a moment, before finally speaking "Blood, human blood, A positive."

He paused, "Blood control, oh it's been years since I've seen anyone use this for hostages!" A manic grin escaped but then he spoke again. "Guess I'll have to push the button and see what happens."

The protests were ignored for now and when Harriet Jones' assistant cried out that he had killed them the Doctor looked at the leader. "Blood control doesn't allow them to have you kill yourself, you have too much will. You humans are positively fascinating creatures."

"Blood control was only one way of taking over the planet. I could summon the fleet and take this planet by force." The Sycorax spoke then.

"You could but why? These stupid apes are so young and don't have a clue but they have so much potential." He paused, sent Rose and Jack a glance and then spoke again. "Alright then! Well I challenge you by the ancient laws of combat for the planet." The Sycoraxs roared as a crowd and the Doctor took the offered sword..

"You stand as this world's champion." The Sycorax leader proclaimed,

"Fantastic!" Was the Doctor's only reply and then the battle commenced. It wasn't an easy battle and gasps and yells could be heard as they continued to fight, though Jack was keeping Rose back away from anything and neither interfered. The Battle was taken outside eventually as well.

Everyone followed and the Sycorax was getting the upper hand, ending with the Doctor on the ground, near where he should have lost his hand, when everything paused it seemed and a gold coloring hit the air. Even the Doctor wasn't moving, all seemed calm, except for Rose as she spoke, eyes meeting the Doctor's confused blue eyes.

The Gold was showing in her eyes again as she moved in between the Sycorax and The Doctor, without anyone was able to realize what was going on. She spoke again, her voice taking on that ethereal quality. "I am the Bad Wolf, I protect my Doctor, no one shall harm him." A wave of her hand and the Sycorax leader was pushed back a bit. "I stop time, I fix things before they hurt Time and Space, this is my gift…for I cannot intervene too much in this event. Doctor, you must not question this too much." Those golden eyes focused on the blue eyed doctor. "Rose is not ready for it. But I am here to help you and Rose." Another wave of her hand and time started again everyone in the correct spots, Rose herself looking completely unaware of what had happened.

Now, the Doctor was back on his feet and the battle turned in his favor as he overwhelmed the Sycorax leader and pinned him to the ground with his sword.

"I win." The Doctor stated, eyes firmly on the Sycorax in front of him.

"Then kill me"

"I'll spare your life if you take this Champions Command"

"Yes." The Sycorax choked out, fear on his face.

"Leave this planet and never return. Swear on the blood of your species"

"I swear." The Doctor nods and shoves the sword into the ground, turning around as Rose rushed forward and hugged him.

"Looks like you saved the world again!" She proclaimed.

"Fantastic isn't it?" He gave another of those bright grins and Rose grinned back, a happy smile on her face even as she felt like something was still wrong.

Jack was grinning and about to step forward from his position to go and talk to them. "Doctor look out." He turned, slamming his hand into the button and sending the Sycorax to plummet to the Earth.

They all made their way inside and The Doctor spoke again, this time addressing everyone inside the Spaceship.

"By the ancient rites of combat, I forbid you to scavenge here for the rest of time. And when go you back to the stars and tell others of this planet, when you tell them of it's riches, it's people, it's potential. When you talk of the Earth, then make sure that you tell them this. It is defended and it will always be defended. Do not touch it again!"

And moments later, Harriet, Rose, The Doctor, Jack and Alex the man with Harriet are teleported back to Earth. Jack and Rose hug and laugh as they win again, while Harriet and The Doctor are off having their own conversation while Alex answers a phone call. Just as everyone finishes up the Conversation, Alex turns to Harriet.

"It's a message from Torchwood. They say they're ready. "

Harriet frowned for a moment and shook her head. "No, no. We don't need them. Tell them to stand down, The Doctor handled it."

The Doctor, Harriet, Rose and Jack speak for a moment before finally they all split up, Rose turning to address both Jack and The Doctor.

"If you two are ready, I'd like to go see my mum…I left last time without much of a warning she's probably terrified.."

They nod and head off for Rose's where everyone is talked into dinner by Jackie, who managed to pull the Doctor aside and speak.

"Look, I still don't like you much mate, I always worry about my daughter and you cant promise she is safe, but thank you. Thank you, you sent her back to me safe and that's all I can ask for." Unexpectedly, Jackie pulls the Doctor into a hug and he actually manages to get a bit surprised from that.

"Jackie, I cant promise she will safe, but I can promise I will always try and keep her safe." The hug was returned and they let go, heading back into the living room.

Mickey and Rose were in Rose's bedroom speaking. It was an argument. "Rose, you cant go again! What if next time you die."

"Mickey, I have to. You don't understand how important this is. This is my life, my world. Earth has nothing for me anymore."

"Nothing? Nothing Rose? What about me…"

She bit her lip for a moment, uncomfortable looking before sighing lightly. "Mickey, you are my best friend…but…we? We cant work, not anymore. I need more then what I can get living here, working in a shop or working at a butchers…."

He made a face at her, the one that always showed up when she spoke too much of what she wanted. "And what Rose? What happens when you end up dead because you arent important enough for the Doctor huh?"

She bit her lips again before her face showed how angry she was. "Mickey! No more Mickey. It's not fair to continue this. Just go for now. We'll talk later." She couldn't continue to do this to Mickey, to let him think he had a chance. She moved the door and waited for him to leave.

She moved out of the bedroom then, holding the door opened for Mickey for him to leave and then shut in behind her, pausing for a moment before she begun to fill her bag again, throwing some clothes in it, things she'd need for her trip, grabbing an old pocket watch that hadn't been thought about in awhile, but something was saying grab it now. Finally once all that was packed into her bag, she moved back out to the living room, where the Doctor, Jack and her mother were, everyone staring at her for a moment.

No one spoke and finally she smiled. "Well, everything is packed up honestly. Mum, I love you, but I think it's time to go again."

Jackie's smile froze on her face and she shook her head. "You just came back Rose, are you sure you need to leave so soon."

Jack spoke up finally, one of those smiles on his face. "We could always stick around for a bit, what could it hurt? Besides, I could go out to a few bars, check out some 21st century women…"

That comment had everyone shaking there heads and Rose sent the Doctor a look, as if to say are you sure, he didn't do Domestics. A small nod was given back as if in answer. She just shrugged and sat her bag down.

"In that case? Why don't we all eat some cake then, after all it is Christmas…."
