Kris's POV:

"This is one of the rides that first started acting up." I said, switching the ride to maintenance mode. We were over at Hollywood Studios at one of my favorite rides, The Great Movie Ride. Now that the sonic screwdriver was out of power, I wasn't sure if continuing our investigation was a good idea. I had suggested that he take the time to charge it, but he insisted. He planned to charge it during the day tomorrow.

I still didn't like the idea of being defenseless, but I followed him anyway…

"So, what are we looking for?" I asked as we walked through the lobby.

"I want to know what the Cybermen are planning." the Doctor said.

"Isn't that what they told you last night? All that stuff about the Cyber Leader?"

"Yes, but there's more. There are only seven surviving Cybermen. How do they expect to upgrade everybody at Disney World with only seven Cybermen? They would need an army…"

"Upgrade?" I asked.

"We also still haven't figured out what their Cybermats are doing here." He seemed to be talking more to himself than me as we started walking along the track.

"Do the Cybermen have any other weaknesses, now that we don't have the option of an EMP blast?" I asked.

"Depends on what type of Cybermen we're dealing with." the Doctor said. "Gold, certain audio frequencies, some laser weapons…" The Doctor stood still. "Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" I asked as he pulled a small flashlight from his jacket. He turned it on, looking around the room when he saw a Cybermat on the track in front of us. It started moving further into the ride. We ran after it.

Eventually, it left the track in the Western exhibit. A few more had joined up with it along the way, & now they all swarmed the AA version of John Wayne. They wormed their way into the AA, into the joints of both John Wayne & his horse. Slowly, they both started to come to life.

"Doctor? I think they do have an army…" I said. We both started backing away. This AA had a gun!

"Oh, that's clever. I was hoping they weren't that clever." the Doctor said from behind me. I heard a strange sound, as if the Doctor had tripped.

"Doctor? Are you all right?" I asked as I turned around…& was face to face with a Cyberman. Before I even had the chance to move or think, it reached out & pushed me, shocking me. It was like the worst static shock I had ever received.

I felt my legs give out from under me. The Cyberman stood over me as everything turned black.


"Kris…Kris! Wake up…" I woke to find the Doctor hovering over me…Why was I on the floor?

I jerked upright as I remembered what had happened.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Well, I was hoping you'd tell me." the Doctor said, helping me to my feet. The room we were in did seem familiar, but many of Disney's behind the scenes areas looked the same…

"Where's the Cyberman?" I asked.

"Gone, for now, which is why I want to get out of here." We stepped out through a door way, & I immediately pulled the Doctor back.

"Why is the ride running? What time is it?" I wondered. I knew where we were, but… "Where's Mugsy?"

"Who?"

"This is the part of the ride where the gangster takes over." I explained in a low whisper. "Maybe this is our ticket out of here. Follow my lead."

I stepped out. "Thank goodness you came back for us! We thought we would be stuck here forever!" I said. The poor guy running the ride looked confused. He was already walking towards his mark.

"You're making a big mistake!" he said. It was his final line in this scene. I guess improv wasn't his strength…

As the fake gun fight started, I pulled the Doctor onto the ride. "Yep, it was a big mistake to leave the ride. I guess that's why they tell you to keep your arms & legs inside the vehicle at all times!"

"I need your screwdriver." I whispered to the Doctor, who quickly gave it to me. I listened for my cue. "Let's get out of here, folks! I don't like the look of this neighborhood…" I said, as I pretended to wave the sonic screwdriver as the red light went out.


The original tour guide wasn't at the end of the ride where he should have been. I tried not to worry about that & kept up the routine. Luckily, this was the ride I had worked on during my College Program, & I still remembered my lines!

We joined the crowd that was leaving the ride, & went outside into the bright sunlight. I pulled out my phone to check the time. I had a bunch of missed texts from Lucy, since I hadn't gone home last night. Then, I noticed the time. I gasped.

"What's wrong?" the Doctor asked.

"I only have 20 minutes to get to work!"


Since I haven't figured out a way to post links, I decided to make a Tumblr for my character designs instead! My username is the same as it is here, just without the spaces. If you're interested in seeing what Kris looks like, just search for me within Tumblr!
