Later, the Doctor was wearing his jersey with the number eleven on it with his tweed jacket and was wearing shorts as he was walking with Craig and Sophie through a park as he held a football in his arms.
"What are you actually called, what's your proper name?" Craig asked the Doctor.
"Just call me the Doctor," the Doctor told him.
"Yeah," Sophie told him.
"I can't say to these guys, 'Hey, this is my new flatmate, he's called the Doctor,'" Craig told him
"Why not?" The Doctor asked him.
"'Cause it's weird," he told him.
"All right, Craig. Soph. All right, mate," a dark skinned man, Sean, one of Craig's teammates greeted them.
"Hello, I'm Craig's new flatmate," the Doctor said as he shook Sean's hand before giving him Gallic kisses, "I'm called the Doctor."
"All right, Doctor. I'm Sean," Sean told him, "Where are you strongest?"
"Arms," he answered.
"No, he means, what position? On the field?" Craig explained.
"Not sure," the Doctor answered, "The front? The side? Below?"
"Are you any good though?" Sean asked him.
"Let's find out!" The Doctor said after spinning the ball on his fingertips and began kicking the ball and headed out to the field after he took his tweed jacket off. As the team played, the Doctor took over the field, intercepting passes to other players and scoring goals as Sophie cheered from the sidelines. This upsets Craig and soon the majority of the onlookers begin chanting 'Doctor!'
Later, after the game was over, the team and friends gathered around a bench having some beers after the Doctor put his tweed jacket back on.
"You are so on the team! Next week we've got the Crown and Anchor, we'll annihilate them!" Sean told the Doctor.
"No violence, not while I'm or my wife is around, not today, not ever," he told Sean, "I'm the Doctor, the oncoming storm, she's Rose Smith, the Bad Wolf... and you meant beat them in a football match, didn't you?"
"Yeah," Sean answered.
"Lovely, what sort of time?" The Doctor asked him as Craig opens a can as it spills over and everyone laughs. It kept repeating itself multiple times, involving everyone but the Doctor. He then leaves the small group to make contact with Rose and Amy.
"Rose? Amy?" The Doctor said into his earpiece.
Once again, the Tardis was shaking.
"Rose? Amy?" He said over the Tardis's speaker.
"It's happening again! Worse!" Rose told him.
"What does the scanner say, Arkytior?" He asked her.
Amy does what the Doctor told Rose to do and looked at the scanner and saw multiple nines on the screen, "A lot of nines. Is it good that they're nines? Tell me it's good that they're all nines!"
"Yes, yes, it's...it's good!" He lied.
"Doctor, I don't think now is the right time to lie to Amy," Rose told him before she turned to Amy, "Zigzag plotter, zigzag plotter, Amy." Amy used the zigzag plotter but there was no change as she and Rose were then thrown by the Tardis as it lurched, causing them to scream.
"Arkytior?! Amy?! Are you there?!"
"Arkytior?! Amy?!" He said on the Tardis's speaker
"We're fine, Doctor," Rose told him.
"Ah, thank Rassilon. I thought the Tardis had been flung off into the vortex with you both inside it," he told them.
"…lost forever," he added on the Tardis's speaker.
"You mean that could actually happen!?" Amy asked him.
"Yes, it can, Amy," Rose told her.
"You have got to get us out of here," Amy told him
"How are the numbers?" He asked them.
"They're all fives," Rose said as she checked the scanner.
"Fives?" He said as he looked to see that the time loop had ended, "Even better."
"Still, it means the effect's almost unbelievably powerful and dangerous, but don't worry," he told them on the Tardis's speaker.
"Hang on, OK?" He told them.
"I've got some rewiring to do," he added on the Tardis's speaker.
"Hey! You...hang on!" Amy told him.
"Don't worry, Amy. He'll figure it out," Rose reassured her.
Later back in his Flat, Craig walked down the hall from his bedroom to the Doctor's room and knocked on the door and the Doctor opened the door with an orange traffic cone under his arm, "Hello, flatmate."
"Hey, man. Um… Listen, Sophie's coming round tonight and I was wondering if you could give us some space?" Craig asked him.
"Oh, don't mind me. You won't even know I'm here," the Doctor told him when they suddenly heard another loud noise from above as the Doctor looked up, "That's the idea." He then closed the door as Craig stood there, listening, "Yes, perfect! What a beauty!"
He heard some rustling and clinking but Craig just shrugs it off.
"That's got bigger," Sophie told Craig as she noticed the stain on the ceiling as they sat on the couch.
"Oh, yeah," Craig said as he looked at the stain.
"Are we going out?" Sophie asked him.
"I've had a bit of a weird day, can we do pizza, booze, telly?" Craig asked her.
"Great, love it! Wait," Sophie said as she shuts off her mobile, "No Melina, no crises, no interruptions."
"Great. Excellent. Um, Soph...I've...I think…" Craig began to say.
"Where's this going?" She asked him.
"I think that we...should…" He started to say as Sophie nodded as she waited for Craig to finish his sentence.
"Hello," the Doctor said as he appeared kneeling behind the sofa with only his head showing
"What?" Craig whispered.
"Whoops, sorry, don't worry, I wasn't listening, in a world of my own down there," the Doctor told him.
"I thought you were going out?" Craig told him.
"Just re-connecting all the electrics, it's a real mess," he told Craig, "Where's the on-switch for this?" He then held out a normal screwdriver.
"He really is on his way out," Craig reassured Sophie.
"No, I don't mind, if you don't mind," Sophie told him
"I don't mind, why would I mind?" Craig asked in a tone that sounded a bit like he was upset.
"Then stay," Sophie told the Doctor, "Have a drink with us."
"What, do I have to stay now?" The Doctor asked them.
"Do you want to stay?" He asked him.
"I don't mind," the Doctor answered.
"OK!" Sophie told him.
"Great!" Craig muttered.
A few hours later, the Doctor was sitting in a chair working with electric wires around his neck as Sophie was drinking a glass of wine as Craig looked up at the ceiling.
"'Cause life can seem pointless, Doctor. Work, weekend, work, weekend. And there's six billion people on the planet doing pretty much the same," Sophie told the Doctor.
"Six billion people? Watching you two at work, I'm starting to wonder where they all come from," the Doctor told her.
"What? What do you mean by that?" Sophie asked him.
"So, the call centre. That's no good? What do you really want to do?" He asked her as he changed the subject.
"Don't laugh. I only ever told Craig about it. I want to work looking after animals," she told him, "Maybe abroad? I saw this orangutan sanctuary on telly."
"What's stopping you?" He asked her.
"She can't, you need loads of qualifications," Craig explained.
"Yeah, true. Plus it's scary, everyone I know lives round here. Craig got offered a job in London, better money, didn't take it," she told the Doctor.
"What's wrong with staying here?" Craig asked her, "I can't see the point of London."
"Well, perhaps that's you, then. Perhaps you'll just have to stay here, secure and a little bit miserable until the day you drop," the DOctor told her, "Better than trying and failing, eh?"
"You think I'd fail?" She asked him.
"Everybody's got dreams, Sophie, very few are going to achieve them, so why pretend?" He explained as he sips wine then makes a face and spits it back into the glass, "Perhaps, in the whole universe, a call centre is where you should be?"
"Why are you saying that?" She asked him, "That's horrible."
"Is it true?" He asked her.
"Of course it's not true. I'm not staying in a call centre all my life, I can do anything I want!" SHe told him, causing the Doctor to smile, "Oh! Yeah! Right!" She then fist bumps the Doctor before turning to Craig, "Oh, my God! Did you see what he just did?"
"No, what's happening? Are you going to live with monkeys now?" Craig asked her.
"It's a big old world, Sophie," the Doctor told her, "Work out what's really keeping you here, eh?"
"I don't know," Sophie answered, "Dunno."
A while later, the Doctor has created a large and ungainly device from all the bits and pieces he had collected and has set the main part on the bed frame and ducks out of the way as it begins to spin wobbly, "Right. Shield's up. Let's scan!"
"What are you getting?" Rose asked over his earpiece as he looked at a converted digital clock.
"Upstairs," he answered.
"No traces of high technology. Totally," he said over the Tardis's speaker.
"Normal. No no, no, no, it can't be! It's too normal," the Doctor finished with confusion.
"Only for you could too normal be a problem," Amy told him, "You said we could be lost forever and Rose confirmed that was possible. Just go upstairs."
"Without knowing, get myself killed, then you both would really be lost," he told them, "If I could just get a look in there... Hold on," he then stops the device from spinning, "Rose, Use the data bank, get me the plans of this building - its history, the layout, everything."
"Meanwhile, I shall recruit a spy," he added on the Tardis's speaker.
The next morning, the Doctor walked down the hall, carrying a breakfast tray and stops at Craig's door, "Craig! Craig?" He then knocked on his door, "Breakfast. It's normal. Craig?" He then opened his door, Craig!"
As he entered Craig's room, he saw that Craig was lying unmoving on his bed and rushed over to him as he put the tray down on the bed and kneeled beside him and grabbed Craig's arm.
"Craig, I told you not to touch it! What's that?" He said as a large streak ran up Craig's arm, "An unfamiliar and obviously poisonous substance. 'Oh, I know what would be really clever, I'll stick my hand in it!' Come on, Craig, breathe." He pounded his fists on Craig's chest, causing him to gasp awake, "Come on, Craig, breathe! Thems are healthy footballer's lungs!" He then grabbed the teapot and ran from the room to the Kitchen
"Right. Reverse the enzyme decay. Excite the tannin molecules," the Doctor said as he grabbed teabags and crammed them into the pot and began stirring it before rushing back to Craig's room and making him drink the tea via the spout.
"I've got to go to work," Craig said, hoarsely.
"On no account. You need rest," he told him before putting the spout back to his mouth, "One more."
"It's the planning meeting, it's important," Craig told him after he drank the tea.
"You're important. You're going to be fine, Craig," the Doctor told him as Craig fell back asleep before the Doctor slipped out of Craig's room.
A few hours later at Craig's workplace, Craig, who wore a suit and glasses ran down the hallway and into the call center.
"Oh, afternoon," a man in a suit and tie greeted Craig.
"I'm so sorry, Michael, I don't know what happened, I've got no excuse," Craig told him as the Doctor popped up from under the desk right where Michael and Craig were standing. He had a headset on and was speaking with a customer.
"I think that's not what my screen is telling me, Mr Lang," the Doctor said into the headset.
"What's he doing here? What are you doing here?" Craig asked his boss.
"If that's your attitude, Mr Lang, please take your custom elsewhere," the Doctor said into the headset before blowing a raspberry.
"No, no, no, that's one of my best clients!" Craig protested with anger.
"Craig, how are you feeling?" The Doctor asked Craig, "Had some time to kill, I was curious, never worked in an office. Never worked in anywhere, my wife did as she worked at Hendriks before it blew up."
"You're insane!" Craig told him.
"Leave off the Doctor, I love the Doctor. He was brilliant in the planning meeting," Michael told Craig.
"You went to the planning meeting?" Craig said with disbelief.
"Yes. I was your representative," the Doctor told him, "We don't need Mr Lang any more. Rude Mr Lang."
"Here you go, and I found some custard creams!" Sophie said as she approached the Doctor with tea and biscuits.
"Sophie, my other hero besides my wife," the Doctor told Sophie.
"Hi, Craig. I went on the web, applied for a wildlife charity thing," Sophie told Craig, "They said I could always start as a volunteer straight away. Should I do it?"
"Yeah, great, yeah, good, go for it," he told her.
"You look awful. About turn! Bed," the Doctor told his Flatmate, "Now. Who next?" He then typed at the keyboard, "Oh, yes." Sophie walked away as Michael waved goodbye as Craig headed for the door in frustration as the Doctor spoke into his headset, "Hello, Mr Joergensen. Can you hold? I have to eat a biscuit." The Doctor looked over to the door and watched Craig leave as he also sees Sophie's reaction.
A few hours later, A cat came down the stairs of the house of Craig's flat and meows as the Doctor enters the house and saw the cat and it walked down the stairs towards him, "Have you been upstairs?" The cat meows a response, "Yes?" It then meowed in a deep, throaty tone as the Doctor sat next to the cat on the stairwell and began petting it, "You can do it. Show me what's up there? What's behind that door? Try to show me. Ohh, that doesn't make sense! Ever see anyone go up there? Lots of people? Good good. What kind of people? People who never come back down. That's very bad." Craig then appears in the door to his flat as he opened the door as the Doctor looked up, "Oh, hello."
"I can't take this any more. I want you to go!" Craig told him as he went back into his flat with the Doctor following as Craig gave him back the paper bag of money, "You can have this back an' all."
"What have I done?" The Doctor asked him.
"For a start, talking to a cat," Craig told him.
"Lots of people talk to cats," the Doctor said as he threw the bag over his shoulder.
"Everybody loves you, you're better at football than me, and my job, and now Sophie's all 'Oh, monkeys, monkeys!' and then…" Craig began to say as he opened the door to the Doctor's room, "there's that!"
"It's art! A statement on modern society," the Doctor said as he rushed into his room, "'Ooh, ain't modern society awful?'" He then stopped it from spinning.
"Me and you, it's not gonna work out," Craig told him, "You've been here three days, the three weirdest days of my life."
"Your days will get a lot weirder if I go!" The Doctor told him.
"I thought it was good weird, but it's not, it's bad weird! I can't do this any more!" Craig told him.
"I can't leave this place. I'm like you, I can't see the point of anywhere else. Madrid, hah, what a dump! I have to stay," the Doctor told him.
"No, you don't, you have to leave!" Craig insisted.
"I can't go!" the Doctor refused.
"Just get out!" Craig shouted.
Craig then went to push the Doctor and he grabbed Craig by the lapels, "Right! Only way! I'm going to show you something, but ssh, really, ssh! Oh, I am going to regret this. OK, right... First, general background!"
The Doctor then head-butts Craig. Both men then grabbed their heads in pain with a groan. Craig saw both the Doctor's and Rose's past incarnations and some of their adventures. He gasps in realization and points at the Doctor.
"You're a…" Craig began to say.
"Yes," he confirmed.
"Your wife's a… as well," Craig said.
"Yes," the Doctor answered.
"From…" Craig said as he pointed up towards the sky.
"Ssh," the Doctor shushed him.
"You both got a Tardis!" Craig told him.
"Yes. Ssh!" He said, shushing him again before he gestured to his face, "Twelfth! Right... OK, specific detail!" He then head-butts Craig again, filling him in on the reason he is there.
"You saw my ad in the paper shop window," Craig realized.
"Yes, with this right above it," he said as he showed Craig a note signed by Amy, "Which is odd, because Amy hasn't written it yet. Time travel, it can happen."
"That's a scanner! You used non-technological technology of Lammasteen," Crag said as he pointed at the Doctor's scanner.
"Shut up!" The Doctor shouted as he claps a hand over Craig's mouth before groaning in pain, "Aaargh! I am never, ever doing that ever ever again…" He then turned on his earpiece, "Rose!"
"That's your wife, Rose Smith, formerly Tyler and Amy Pond is with her!" Craig told him.
"Oh, of course, you can understand us now, hurrah," the Doctor remarked, sarcastically before speaking to Rose, "Got those plans yet, Rose?"
"We're Still searching for them!" Rose told him from the Tardis.
"I've worked it out with psychic help from a cat," the Doctor told them.
"Cat?" Amy said with disbelief.
"So, you've gotten over what Novice Hame did when we were on New Earth when Lady Cassandra, the so-called last human, possessed my human self," Rose muttered.
"Yes, I know he's got a time engine in the flat upstairs," he told them.
"He's using innocent people to try and launch it," the Doctor explained.
"Whenever he does, they get burnt up, hence the stain…" The Doctor went on.
"From the ceiling?" Craig asked him.
"Well done, Craig," the Doctor complimented him.
"And you, Miss Pond and Arkytior, nearly get thrown off into the Vortex," the Doctor added.
"Lovely!" Amy remarked, sarcastically.
"I already knew that, Doctor," Rose said at the same time.
"People are dying up there? People are dying. People are dying," Craig began repeating himself as a loud crash came from above as another Time Loop began.
"Arkytior! Amy!" The Doctor yelled with worry in his voice.
Amy and Rose were thrown to the floor as the Tardis lurched again.
"They're being killed!" Craig said as he somehow broke free from the time loop.
"Someone's up there," the Doctor realized as he ran out of the room followed by Craig.
Rose pulled herself up and helped Amy up before she clung to the monitor's handle.
"Doctor!" Rose said on the Doctor's earpiece as the Doctor and Craig ran up the stairs as they entered the front hall.
"Hang on!" Amy told the Doctor.
Craig stopped when he saw Sophie's keys in the lock to his Flat's door, "Craig, come on...someone's dying up there," the Doctor told him before he saw Sophie's keys and ran up the stairs.
"It's Sophie. It's Sophie that's dying up there, it's Sophie!" Craig cried as he followed the Doctor up the stairs.
"Doctor! Stop!" Amy said from the Tardis.
"Where's Sophie!" Craig asked as he and the Doctor reached the top of the stairs, outside the door of the top flat.
"Wait, wait! Amy?" The Doctor asked.
"Are you upstairs?" Amy asked him.
"Just going in!" He answered.
"But you can't be upstairs," she told him.
"Of course I can be upstairs!" He told her.
"Come on!" Craig urged him.
"No, Doctor! we've got the plans, you cannot be upstairs, it's a one-storey building, it's a perception-filter that's making people think it's a two-storey building," Rose explained.
"Rose is right, there is no upstairs!" Amy added, agreeing with the Time Lady and both the Doctor and Craig looked down the stairs before the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver as he took it out and they entered the flat and saw that beyond the normal looking front door is a very advanced spaceship. At its center is a control panel.
"What?" Craig said as he was surprised by the flat as both he and the Doctor slowly walked into the flat.
"What? Oh. Oh, of course! The time engine isn't in the flat, the time engine is the flat!" The Doctor realized, "I was right someone's attempt to build a Tardis when they're supposed to be grown, not built."
"No, there's always been an upstairs," Craig told him.
"Has there?" He asked him, "Think about it!"
"Yes. No. I don't…" Craig said as he began having trouble if there's always been an upstairs or not.
"Like what my wife said, it's a Perception filter. It's more than a disguise. It tricks your memory," the Doctor explained.
They then heard Sophie scream as she was being pulled towards the controls, "Sophie!" Craig cried with worry as he and the DOctor ran over to her, "Sophie! Oh, my God, Sophie!" He then grabbed her hand to keep it from touching the glowing panel.
"Craig! It's controlling her. It's willing her to touch the activator," the Doctor explained.
"It's not going to have her!" Craig proclaimed as the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the panel as Sophie touched it and began screaming.
"Ah! Deadlock seal!" The Doctor realized.
"You've got to do something!" Craig told the Doctor as the device let go of Sophie and Craig eased her to the ground.
"What? Why's it let her go?" the Doctor wondered aloud as he looked around and saw a dried up skeleton. As he crossed the center of the room, a hologram of an old man appeared.
"You will help me," the hologram told him.
"Right! Stop! Crashed ship, let's see. Hello, I'm Captain Troy Handsome of International Rescue. Please state the nature of your emergency," the Doctor told the hologram.
"Seriously, Doctor. That's something Jack would say," he heard Rose say on his earpiece as he heard her make a facepalm.
"The ship has crashed. The crew are dead. A pilot is required," the hologram explained.
"You're the emergency crash program. A hologram. You've been luring people up here so you can try them out," the Doctor realized.
"You will help me, you will help me, you will help me," the hologram told him as the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the hologram as it changed to that of a little girl, a younger man, then back to the old man.
"Craig! Where am I?" Sophie asked Craig.
"Hush! Human brains aren't strong enough, they just burn," the Doctor told the hologram, "You're stupid, aren't you? You just keep trying."
"17 people have been tried. 6,000,400,026 remain," the hologram told the Time Lord.
"Seriously, what is going on?" Sophie asked as she stood up.
"Oh, for Rassilon's sake. The top floor of Craig's building is in reality an alien spaceship, intent on slaughtering the population of this planet," the Doctor explained, "Any questions? No? Good."
"Yes, I have questions," Sophie told him.
"The correct pilot has now been found," the hologram proclaimed.
"Yes, I was worried you'd say that," the Doctor told the hologram.
"He means you, Doctor, doesn't he?" Amy asked from the Tardis.
"Yes, he does, Amy," Rose confirmed.
"The correct pilot has been found. The correct pilot has been found," the hologram said, repeating itself as fingers of energy reached out and began to pull the Doctor towards the control panel.
"What's happening?" Amy and Rose both asked from the Tardis at the same time.
"It's pulling me in! I'm the new pilot!" The Doctor explained as he tried to resist the energy that was pulling him towards the control panel.
"Could you do it?" Amy asked him.
"Could you fly the ship safely?" Amy finished asking from the Tardis.
"No, he can't, Amy, he's way too much for that ship, I would be as well, if his or my hand touched that panel that he's being pulled towards, it wouldn't just blow up the planet, the solar system does as well," Rose answered.
"Rose is right," the Doctor said as he halts his hand inches above the glowing panel.
"The correct pilot has been found," the hologram repeated itself.
"No...worst choice ever, I promise you," the Doctor told the hologram, "Stop this!"
"Doctor, It's getting worse," Amy told the Doctor from the earpiece.
"It doesn't want everyone," the Doctor said, "Craig, it didn't want you!"
"I spoke to him and he said I couldn't help him!" Craig told him.
"It didn't want Sophie before but now it does," he reminded Craig, "What's changed?" He then groaned in pain, "No! I gave her the idea of leaving! It's a machine that needs to leave, it wants people who want to escape! And you don't want to leave, Craig, you're Mr Sofa Man."
"Doctor!" Rose yelled from the Tardis.
"Craig, you can shut down the engine. Put your hand on the panel and concentrate on why you want to stay!" The Doctor told Craig.
"Craig, no!" Sophie begged him.
"Will it work?" Craig asked him.
"Yes!" The Doctor answered.
"Are you sure?" Craig asked him.
"Yes!" The Doctor lied.
"Is that a lie?" Craig asked him.
"Of course, it's a lie!" The Doctor answered.
"It's good enough for me. Geronimo!" Craig said, using the Doctor's catchphrase as he slammed his palm onto the panel and screamed as the energy courses through him as the ship releases its hold on the Doctor.
Amy held onto the monitor handle for dear life, while Rose did the same with the console.
"Craig!" Sophie cried.
"Doctor!" Amy and Rose cried.
"Craig, what's keeping you here?" The Doctor asked as he rushed over to Craig, "Think about everything that makes you want to stay here! Why don't you want to leave?" He then slapped Craig.
"Sophie! And I don't want to leave Sophie! I can't leave Sophie! I love Sophie!" Craig answered.
"I love you, too, Craig, you idiot!" Sophie told him as she slapped her hand down on the panel with Craig's and the ship began to smoke and spark.
"Doctor!" Amy and Rose cried from the Tardis.
"Honestly, do you mean that?" Craig asked Sophie.
"Of course I mean it!" She answered, "Do you mean it?"
"I've always meant it," he answered, "Seriously though, do you mean it?"
"Yes," she answered.
"Ugh!" Amy muttered as she continued to hold onto the Tardis's monitor while Rose held onto the console.
"But what about the monkeys?" Craig asked over the Tardis's speakers.
"Oh, not now, not again! Craig, the planet's about to burn! For Rassilon's sake, kiss the girl!" The Doctor ordered Craig.
"Kiss the girl!" Amy and Rose yelled.
Craig and Sophie then suddenly kissed each other passionately as they then were able to remove their hands from the panel.
The Tardis then calms down as it makes the normal, wheezing, groaning sound of materialization.
"Doctor! You've done it. Aha, you've done it!" Amy told the Doctor, happily.
"She's right, Theta! You've done it before she and Amy hugged each other before she checked the scanner, "Oh, now the screen's just zeros! Now it's minus ones, minus twos, minus threes…"
Sophie and Craig were still kissing as Rose said that.
"Big yes!" Amy cried, happily.
"Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me," the Hologram said as it cycled through different voices and projections.
"Big no," the Doctor said as he realized what was happening.
"Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me."
"Did we switch it off?" Craig asked him.
"Emergency shutdown, it's imploding," the Doctor explained, "Everybody out, out, out!"
"Help me. Help me. Help me. Help me."
Craig and Sophie then ran out of the ship followed by the Doctor.
"Doctor!" Amy called, worryingly.
The three ran down the stairs and outside as the house began to shake. They then ran across the street and watched as the perception filter dissipated to reveal the ship and saw that it looked very alien with a drill-like part at the bottom. Mere seconds later, the ship disappeared as People strolled by, not realizing what had happened.
"Look at them. Didn't they see that? The whole top floor just vanished," Craig said with confusion.
"Perception filter," the Doctor explained, "There never was a top floor."
Later inside Craig's flat, the stain on the ceiling had disappeared as Craig and Sophie were kissing on the couch.
"So have we spoiled our friendship, then?" Craig asked Sophie.
"Totally ruined it," she answered.
"And what about the monkeys?" He asked her, "We could save them together, you know. Do whatever we want. I could see the point of Paris if you were there with me."
"First let's destroy our friendship completely," she told him as they continued to make out on the couch as The Doctor entered and saw what they were doing and quietly left his keys on the sideboard as he went to leave.
"Oi!" Craig said as he noticed what the Doctor was doing as he and Sophie went over to him.
"What, you're trying to sneak off?" Sophie asked him.
"Yes, well, you were sort of... busy," he answered.
"I want you to keep these. Thank you," Craig said as he picked up the keys and handed them back to the Doctor
"Thank you," the Doctor said as he took the keys, "'Cause I might pop back soon, have another little stay this time with Rose."
"No, you won't. I've been in your head, remember? But I still want you to keep them, although Rose maybe could ask you to revisit me once in a while," Craig told him.
"Thank you, Craig and she would ask me to revisit you once in a while as she's asked me for us to revisit a friend of ours every once in a while, a man named Captain Jack Harkness."
"Thank you, Doctor," Craig told him, "and Could you thank your wife for me?"
"Will do," the Doctor answered before turning to Sophie, "Sophie," he then puts a hand on both of their shoulders, "Now then. 6,000,400,026 people in the world. That's the number to beat."
"Yeah," Sophie laughed as the Doctor left with a smile.
Later, in the Tardis, the Doctor and Rose began to set the Tardis in motion as the Doctor had his tweed jacket off as he spoke to Amy, "Back in
time! You need to go to the paper shop, leave that note for me."
"Right little matchmaker, aren't you? Can't you find me a fella?" Amy asked him and as Amy said that, Rose thought of Rory as she knew that she and her husband couldn't tell her just yet that she had a Fiancée who was erased from existence from the cracks.
The Doctor then puts on his stethoscope and listens to the console with it, "Oh, rectifier's playing up again...Hold on," he then went to a different section of the control room as Rose followed him, "You write the note and we'll change that will."
"Have either of you got a pen?" Amy asked them.
"Make sure it's a red pen," Rose told her, "I've seen the note and it has to be a red one."
Amy then began searching the Doctor's jacket pockets for a pen when she suddenly pulled out the jewelry box holding her engagement ring from Rory. She opened it and stared at the ring. As she does it seemed like she was remembering something but couldn't put her finger on what she was remembering.
Please review.
What should the Doctor and Rose say when Amy tells them that she found an engagement ring in the Doctor's jacket pocket? And should River have written both the Doctor's and Rose's nicknames in Old High Gallifreyan and if so what symbol should represent Rose's name as Arkytior?
