The TARDIS flew out of control over the skies of London as the console sparked as the console room was engulfed in flames. The Doctor was hanging onto the doorway as the newly regenerated Rose, sprawled on the floor holding onto him, trying to pull him back up with her screwdriver in her mouth as she began to pull him up back into the TARDIS as the Doctor turned at the sound of a bell and saw that the TARDIS was about to hit Big Ben, Rose looked up and took her screwdriver out of her mouth and used it on the console as the Doctor slipped out again as the TARDIS sped up, narrowly missing the tower as he pulled himself back inside and closed the doors behind him as both Gallifreyans leaned against the door and sighed in relief.
"Thank, Rassilon, that's over with," Rose said before the TARDIS lurched out of control.
"What was that about it being over, Arkytior?" The Doctor asked her, sarcastically.
"Okay, never mind, then," Rose said before they were thrown into the library's swimming pool as the TARDIS materialised on it's side and as they fell into the swimming pool, the Doctor found a very long grappling hook that they could use to climb back up to the console room.
As they reached the console room, Rose snapped her fingers and the TARDIS doors opened, the Doctor threw the rest of the grappling hook out of the TARDIS and the Doctor grabbed onto the edge of the TARDIS, poked his head out and saw a little girl with ginger hair and that they were in the back garden of a two storey house nearby.
"Look at that!" The Doctor said as he got up and sat on the edge of the TARDIS and looked inside the TARDIS after helping Rose out as she grabbed onto the edge of the TARDIS' doorway and stepped on the ground before losing balance.
"Are you two, okay?" The little girl asked with a Scottish accent.
"We both just had a fall to the Library Hell of a climb back up," the Doctor told the little girl as he and Rose got out of the TARDIS and jumped onto the ground.
"Your both soaking wet," The little year old girl told them as she was confused on how they were in a library and were wet at the same time.
"So was the swimming pool," The Doctor responded.
"You said you both were in the library." The little girl reminded him.
"The swimming pool is in the same room as the library," Rose explained.
"Are the two of you police officers?" The little girl asked the Gallifreyan couple.
"Why did you call the police?" The Doctor asked the little girl as he bent down towards her.
"Did you both come to cover for the crack in my wall?" The little girl asked them.
"What cra-" Rose started before groaning in pain and fell to the ground, "It's fine I think this is perfectly norm-" She then suddenly breathed out some of her left over regeneration energy.
"Ma'am, who are you?" The little asked her.
"I don't know yet, I'm still regenerating," Rose answered as she stood back up after looking at her hands, which were bathed with more of her left over regeneration energy.
"Does it scare you?" The Doctor asked the little girl.
"No what she's doing is just a bit weird," the little girl answered.
"No what I meant is the crack in your wall does it scare you?" He rephrased.
"Yes," the little girl answered.
"Then show us, my name's the Doctor, the Blonde is my wife, the Bad Wolf or Wolf for short," the Doctor said, introducing himself and Rose to the seven year old girl, "Do everything either of us tell you, don't ask stupid questions and don't wander off." He started to walk to the house, but as Rose began to follow him, her direction sense was a bit off, causing her to bump into a tree and fell onto the ground.
"Are you all right, ma'am?" The little girl asked the Time Lady.
"She's fine my wife's directional steering is a bit off," He explained as he helped Rose back up.
"I'm hungry. I feel like I haven't eaten in a year," Rose said as she placed one of her hands over her stomach as she and the Doctor approached little girl's house.
"That's what the process of regeneration feels like, Wolf," the Doctor explained to his wife.
The little girl took them to her house and into the kitchen, "If you're a Doctor, then why does your box say 'police'?" She asked the Doctor.
"I think it would take too long to explain," the Doctor explained.
The little girl then handed an apple to Rose, who took a bite of it before quickly spitting it out and coughed, "It looks like Apples don't taste good to me anymore," Rose muttered as she threw the rest of the apple in a bin, "Do you have anything else that I can try?"
"We've got some yogurt," the little girl answered.
"No thanks," she said, feeling disgusted by eating yogurt, "Anything else?"
"Why is she asking for food?" The little girl asked the Doctor.
"It's a little hard to explain. But to put it simply, she just went through a process called Regeneration that has changed her entire body as well as her taste buds," the Doctor explained as Rose coughed up more of her left over regeneration energy, "But you're Scottish aren't you? Fry her some food."
The little girl then went to fry some food on a stove, "So you're cooking me bacon?" Rose asked as she saw bacon being cooked on the stove inside a pan as she and the Doctor used towels to dry their hair.
Rose soon sat down at the table with forks in her hands and slammed the forks down on the table as the little girl placed a plate of bacon on the table in front of her before she picked up one of the picked one of the pieces of bacon with one of her forks and placed the piece of bacon in her mouth and swallowed it as it tasted good to her, probably being one of her favorite food in her current incarnation.
"Do you have any chips?" Rose asked the little girl.
Rose then walked over to the refrigerator after placing the plate in the sink and pulled out some fish and chips and placed it on a plate before putting it in a microwave to heat it up.
"What's your name?" The Doctor asked the little year old girl as he was eating a banana, while she was eating ice cream as the three of them sat around the kitchen table with Rose, who was eating fish and chips.
"Amelia Pond," the little girl answered.
"That's a nice name." Rose commented.
"Are we in Scotland?" The Doctor asked Amelia.
"No, had to move to England," Amelia sighed, "it's rubbish."
"How about your Mum and Dad then are they upstairs?" Rose asked, "Thought we'd woken them up by now."
"Don't have a mum and dad just an aunt," Amelia answered, causing the Doctor and Rose to both exchange a look before turning back to Amelia as they shrugged it off.
"I don't even have an aunt," he told her.
"You're lucky," she said.
"I know," he told her.
"So, your Aunt," Rose said, "Where is she?"
"She's out," Amelia answered.
"And she left you all alone?" He said with shock and disbelief in his voice.
"I'm not scared," she told him.
"Course you're not," the Doctor said, "You're not scared of anything! Box falls out of the sky, man and woman falls out of box, man eats a bannana, while woman eats fish and chips and look at you, just sitting there. So you know what I think?"
"What?" She asked him.
"Must be one hell of a scary crack in your wall," he answered.
After finishing the food Amelia took them to her room and showed them the crack in her wall, which is shaped like a 'W' as the Doctor walked up to the crack, "You've had some cowboys in here, he said, examining the crack, "Well, not actually cowboys, though that can happen."
"Oh, brother," Rose muttered as she rolled her eyes.
Amelia stood in the doorway holding an apple, "I used to hate apples, so my mum put faces on them," she said, handing the Doctor an apple, with a smiley face carved into it.
"She sounds good, your mum," he said as he tossed it into the air and caught it, "I'll keep it for later." He then noticed something weird with the crack and touched it "This wall is solid and the crack doesn't go all the way through it. So here's a thing, where's the draught coming from?" He backed away from the wall and took his sonic screwdriver out from his brown pinstriped jacket and examined the crack in the wall with it and looked at his screwdriver, "Wibbly-wobbly, Timey-wimey. You know what the crack is?"
"What?" Both Amelia and Rose asked at the same time.
"It's a crack," he answered looking at the crack as he reapproached it, "But I'll tell you something funny, Amelia. If you knocked this wall down, the crack would stay put, 'cause the crack isn't in the wall." He then began tracing the crack with his finger.
"Where is it, then?" Amelia asked.
"Everywhere," he answered, "In everything. It's a split in the skin of the world. Two parts of Space and Time should never have touched, pressed together," he looked back at Amelia as he touched the crack with his finger "right in the wall of your bedroom." He puts his ear on the wall "Sometimes can you hear…" he started.
"A voice," Amelia finished, "Yes."
He heard a voice that was distorted on the other side of the wall and he immediately walked over to a table next to Amelia's bed and picked up a cup and dumped the water out and placed the cup on the wall so the could hear the voice properly.
"Prisoner Zero has escaped," he heard the voice say.
"Prisoner Zero…" he started to repeat.
"Prisoner Zero has escaped," Amelia said as she finished his train of thought, "That's what I heard. What does it mean?" He heard the voice repeat itself and he removed the cup from the wall.
"I think it means that on the other side of the wall there is a prison," Rose said.
"Wolf, I think you're correct and that they've lost a prisoner," the Doctor said, agreeing with Rose, "And do you know what that means, Amelia?"
"What?" Amelia asked.
"You need a better wall," he said before he and Rose started to move the desk that was next to the wall, "The only way to close the breach is to open it all the way. The forces will invert and it'll snap itself shut."
"Exactly like how we closed the void right, Doctor?" Rose asked, recalling how they stopped the Cybermen and Daleks at Canary Wharf a few years ago.
"Exactly, Wolf," he said before drifting off, "Or…"
"What?" Amelia asked.
"You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine, and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better?" He asked her.
"Yes," she answered.
"Everything's going to be fine," he said as he held Rose's hand, who was holding Amelia's hand as he took his screwdriver out and aimed it at the crack before activating the screwdriver, the crack lit up as it opened and they saw a dark prison.
"Prisoner Zero has escaped," they heard a voice say, "Prisoner Zero has escaped."
"Hello?" The Doctor said, "Hello!" And then suddenly in the wall, a giant eyeball came down from above and looked at the three of them and they all stared at the eyeball.
"What's that?" Amelia asked as a few seconds later the wall closed shut and as the wall closed a small ball of electricity shout out from the crack and struck the Doctor.
"There you. see, told you it would close. Good as new," the Doctor said.
"What was that thing? Was that Prisoner Zero?" Amelia asked as she wanted to know what the eyeball creature was.
"No. I think that was Prisoner Zero's guard," the Doctor said.
"Yeah, I agree with you, Doctor," Rose said, agreeing with him.
"Whatever it was, it sent me a message. Psychic Paper," he added before looking at his psychic paper, "Takes a lovely message," he then read the message from his Psychic Paper, "'Prisoner Zero has escaped.' But why tell us?" He wondered out loud. "Unless…"
"Unless he escaped through here, right, Doctor?" Rose asked him and he smiled at her.
"I had that exact same though, Wolf," he said, agreeing with her, "But he couldn't have. We'd know," he then ran into the hallway followed by Rose and Amelia as he began to look around, "There's something I'm missing." He then looked behind them with the corner of his eye and saw a room that he nor Rose had noticed for a few seconds, "In the corner of my eye."
Suddenly the TARDIS's cloister bell chimes "No, no, no, no, no, no!" He exclaimed as he and Rose ran down the stairs followed by Amelia and he opens the backdoor, "We've got to get back in there. The engines are phasing. It's going to burn!" The Doctor exclaimed as he ran to the TARDIS as Rose followed them while Amelia tried to keep up with them.
"But…" Amelia panted as she stops as she got to them as they were picking up the grappling hook, "It's just a box! How can a box have engines?"
"It's not a box," he said as he stood up and turned to her, "It's a time machine."
"As well as a spaceship," Rose added as she turned around towards her as well.
"What, a real one? You both got a real Time machine that is also a spaceship?" Amelia asked them with disbelief in her voice.
"Not for much longer if we can't get her stabilized," the Doctor said gathering the rest of the grappling hook and threw it back into the TARDIS, "Five-minute hop into the future should do it."
"Can I come?" Amelia asked them as she looked at them for a few seconds.
"Not safe in here, not yet," the Doctor told her, "Five minutes. Give us five minutes. We'll be right back," He and Rose got back on the edge of the TARDIS, prepared to jump back inside.
"People always say that," they suddenly heard Amelia say.
Rose jumped back down to the ground and looked at Amelia in the face, "Are me and my husband your average people?" She asked her, smiling, "Do we even look like your average person? Do I even look like your average person? Trust me, Amelia. Girl-to-girl, yeah? I'm the Bad Wolf."
She got back on the edge of the TARDIS and held the Doctor's hand and looked back to Amelia, as she held the rope in her other hand, "Allons-y!" The Doctor shouted as they jumped back into the TARDIS as the doors slammed shut as the TARDIS dematerialized.
"What did you see, Theta?" Rose asked him as they started to repair the engines of the TARDIS.
"I found a room that we didn't even notice with the corner of my eye, Arkytior," he answered.
"A perception filter?" She said, "Oh no Amelia's in danger!"
"I know! We have to stabilize the TARDIS quickly," he said as they began to stabilise the TARDIS by repairing the engines and after stabilizing the TARDIS, the Doctor and Rose set the co-ordinates to Amelia's back garden.
The TARDIS materialized in Amelia's back garden in the early morning and the door opened the Doctor came out followed by Rose amid billowing smoke and had cloths held over their noses and mouths.
"Amelia!" The Doctor shouted, "Amelia!" He ran towards the house with Rose in hot pursuit, "I worked out what we were missing. You've got to get out of there!" He tried his screwdriver but it kept flickering a few times till it finally stopped flickering as the door opened as He and Rose ran into the house.
"Amelia?!" he called.
"Amelia, are you all right? Are you there?" Rose called as she followed the Doctor up the stairs as he used his sonic screwdriver on the doorframe to find out that he was correct and turned to Rose, "Wolf, I was correct," he said, "Prisoner Zero is here. Prisoner Zero is here! Prisoner Zero is here! Do you understand me?" He said, "Prisoner Zero is…" He and Rose suddenly heard wood creaking and the Doctor turned around only to be knocked out by a Cricket bat and then Rose got the same treatment as se passed out as well.
Half an hour later the Gallifreyan couple woke up as they saw a police woman with ginger hair talking into a radio, "White male, late 20s possibility early 30s and white woman, late teens possibly early 20s, breaking and entering. Send me some backup, I've got them restrained." She turned to the Doctor and Rose, "Oi, you two! Sit still."
"Cricket bat," the Doctor said as he cleared his throat, "Did you hit us with a cricket bat?"
"You both were breaking and entering," the police woman explained.
The Doctor and Rose tried to stand up, only to find out that they were handcuffed, "That's much better," he muttered, sarcastically.
"Brand new me and first time fully regenerating and got a whack on the head just what I needed," Rose muttered, sarcastically.
"Do you both want to shut up now?" The police woman asked them, "I've got backup on the way."
"Hang on. No wait you're a policewoman," the Doctor said with disbelief in his voice.
"And both you and the blonde were breaking and entering," the police woman added, "You see how this works?"
"What are you doing here? Where's Amelia?" Rose asked her.
"Amelia Pond" the police woman asked.
"Yeah. Amelia. Little Scottish girl," Rose confirmed, "Where is she?"
"We promised her five minutes, but the engines were phasing." I suppose we must have gone a bit far," the Doctor added, "Don't you think so as well, Love?"
"Yeah I agree with you," Rose said, agreeing with her husband before turning back to the police woman, "Has something happened to her?"
"Amelia Pond hasn't live here for a long time," the police woman told them.
"How long?" Rose asked her.
"Six months," the police woman answered.
"No!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"We can't be six months late we promised," Rose added, "We said five minutes. We promised." They then sniffed as the police woman, who turned around and grabbed her radio "What happened to her? What happened to Amelia Pond?"
"Sarge, it's me again. Hurry it up. These two know something about Amelia Pond," the police woman said into her radio.
"We need to speak to whomever lives in this house right now," the Doctor said, a while later as the police woman was staring down at him and Rose.
"I live here," The Police woman told them.
"But you're the police," Rose said with confusion.
"Yes, and this is where I live," the police woman explained, "Have you both got a problem with that?"
"How many rooms?" The Doctor asked her.
"I'm Sorry What?" The police woman asked with confusion on why he would ask her that.
"On this floor," he explained, "How many rooms on this floor? count them with me."
"Why?" The police woman asked him.
"Because it will change your life," he answered.
"Five," she said as she pointed at the rooms as she counted them, "One, two, three, four, five."
"Six," both Gallifreyans said, correcting her.
"Six?" the police woman scoffed.
"Look," the Doctor ordered her.
"Look where?" The police woman asked him.
"Exactly where you don't want to look. Where you never want to look. The corner of your eye. Look behind you," the Doctor answered before the police woman slowly turned around, looking with the corner of her eye and saw the door that the Doctor noticed.
"That's… That is not possible. How is that possible?" The police woman asked them.
"There's a perception filter around the door stops you seeing it," Rose explained, "He noticed it last time we were here. Should've seen it."
"But that's a whole room," the police woman said with confusion, "That's a whole room I've never even noticed."
"The filter stops you noticing something came here a while ago to hide," the Doctor explained, "It's still hiding, and you need to uncuff the both of us now!"
"I don't have the key. I lost it," the police woman said as she slowly walked towards the room.
"How could you have lost it?! Stay away from that door!" The Doctor shouted as the Police woman kept walking towards the door, "Do not touch that door!" The police woman puts her hand on the doorknob, "Listen to me! Do not touch that…" As the police woman turned the doorknob, the Doctor looked at Rose, "Why does no one ever listens to me? Do I just have a face that nobody but my wife listens to?" The police officer slowly entered the room.
"Probably," Rose shrugged.
"My screwdriver, where is it? Arkytior where's yours?" The Doctor asked as he frantically searched his pockets for his screwdriver.
Rose searched her pockets but couldn't find it, "I don't know, Mine's missing, I think it fell out of my pocket as we were knocked out. one of them is a silver thing with blue at the end and the other one is gold with pink at the end."
"There's nothing here," the police officer said from the room, "Whatever's there stopped you from seeing the whole room. What makes you think you could see our screwdrivers? Now. Please get out!"
"Silver, one's blue at the end, the other one's gold with pink at the end?" The police officer asked from the room.
"Our screwdrivers, yeah," Rose answered.
"They're here," the police officer told them from inside the room.
"Must have rolled under the door," the Doctor said.
"Yeah, must have. And then they jumped up onto the table…" The police officer added, causing both gallifreyans to share a look.
"Get out of there! Get out! Get out of there!" They stretched as far as they could with the handcuffs. The police officer wasn't getting out of the room, "What is it? What are you doing?"
"There's nothing here, but…" the Police officer said.
"Corner of your eye," Rose said as the police officer went quiet for a few seconds.
"What is it?" She asked them.
"Don't try to see it. If it knows you've seen it, it will try to kill you. Don't look at it. Do not... look," the Doctor said, but then they suddenly hear the police officer scream "Get out!" The police officer ran out the room, closed the door behind her and ran down the hall to the Doctor and Rose, "Give me that!" He snapped as the police officer gives him the screwdrivers as he handed Rose her screwdriver, his Screwdriver stuttered as he locks the door, meanwhile Rose uses hers on her handcuffs, but it didn't work. The Doctor tried his as well which didn't work either, "Come on. What's the bad alien done to you?" He muttered to the screwdriver.
"Will that door hold it?" The Police woman asked them.
"Oh, yeah, yeah, course! It's an inter-dimensional multi-form from outer space they're all terrified of wood!" he answered, sarcastically.
"Honey, now's not the time for Sarcasm," Rose told him when suddenly a bright yellowish light came from inside the room.
"What's that? What's it doing?" The police officer asked them.
"Uh, I'm not sure probably getting dressed," Rose said as she looked up, "Run, just go. Your backup's coming, we'll be fine."
"There is no backup," the police woman told them as the Doctor and Rose looked at her, surprised.
"We heard you on the radio. You called for backup," the Doctor reminded her.
"I was pretending," the police officer explained as she looked at them, "It's a pretend radio."
"But you're a policewoman," the Doctor said, still confused as she suddenly she took off her hat.
"I'm a kiss-o-gram!" she exclaimed as her ginger hair fell free and at that moment, the door to the mysterious room fell over in front of them and they saw a bald old man, wearing a boilersuit, holding the leash of a large Rottweiler, "But it's just…" She said.
"It's all one creature, one creature disguised as two. Clever old multi-form," the Doctor explained, "A bit of a rush job, though. Got the voice a bit muddled did you? Mind you, where did you get the pattern from?"
"Yeah, like he said 'cause you'd need a psychic link or a live feed. But how did you fix that?" Rose asked as the multi-form snarled, advanced towards them and opened his mouth showing sharp alien-like teeth.
"Stay, boy!" The Doctor shouted at the creature as the creature halted its advance, "The blonde, the ginger and me, we're safe. Want to know why? The ginger sent for backup."
"I didn't send for backup!" The woman said.
"I know. That was a clever lie to save our lives," he told her before looking back at the creature "Okay, yeah, no backup. And that's why we're safe. Alone we're no threat to we had backup, then you'd have to kill us."
Suddenly a voice filled the room, "Attention, Prisoner Zero. The human residence is surrounded. Attention, Prisoner Zero. The human residence is surrounded."
"What's that?" the woman asked the two gallifreyans.
"That would be backup," Rose explained.
"Okay, one more time. We do have backup and that's definitely why we're safe," the Doctor told the multi-form.
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence, or the human residence will be incinerated," the voice said, repeating itself.
"Well, safe apart from you know incineration," the Doctor said and the creature walked to another room, as the voice repeated its warning, the Doctor pounded his screwdriver on the floor in an attempt to get it to work, "Work, work, work. C'mon." Suddenly the screwdriver made a sound and started working. He used it on the handcuffs and the handcuffs unlocked. "Run," he said as he stood up and helped Rose up. "Run!" The Doctor pushed the woman and Rose followed them down the stairs.
The Doctor, Rose and the woman ran outside "Kiss-o-gram?" The Doctor asked as he locks the door with his screwdriver.
"Yes, a kiss-o-gram! What's going on?" She asked and the doctor turned around.
"Why did you pretend to be a police woman?" Rose asked her.
"You and your husband broke into my house! It was either this or a French maid!" The woman snapped at them, "What's going on? Tell me!"
"An alien convict is hiding in your spare room disguised as a man and a dog, and some other aliens are about to incinerate your house. Any questions?"
"Yes," the woman said.
"Us too," both gallifreyans said as the Doctor tried to use his TARDIS key in the keyhole of the TARDIS but wasn't working, "No, no don't do that not now!"
"What's going on?" Rose asked her husband.
"It's still rebuilding, not letting us in!" He explained.
"Prisoner Zero, will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated," the voice said, repeating itself yet again as the creature who was still in the form of the man and dog watched from the window, barking at them.
"Come on!" The woman said as she grabbed both Gallifreyans by the arms.
"No, wait, hang on, wait, wait, wait. The shed," he said, resisting as he ran to a garden shed, "We destroyed that shed last time we were here, smashed it into pieces."
"So, there's a new one," she said, "let's go."
Rose noticed something odd about the new shed, "That new one looks a decade old, 12 years old at least."
The Doctor looked at Rose and then back at the shed and saw that she was correct and sniffed the wood, before rubbing his finger around the wood and tasting it, disgusting Rose, "Wolf, you were correct, we're 12 years late, not six months we're 12 years late."
"He's coming," the woman told them as the Doctor approached her.
"You said Six months. Why did you say six months?" The Doctor asked the woman.
"We've got to go," the woman told him, dodging the question.
"this matters. This is important. Why did you say six months?" He said, snapping at her.
"Why did you say five minutes?!" The woman snapped back at him.
"What?" Both Gallifreyans said, stunned and it was at this moment they realized she was Amelia
"Come on," Amelia said as both Gallifreyans repeated themselves.
"Come on!" the woman repeated herself, pulling them by the arm, and both Gallifreyans repeated themselves yet again.
"Prisoner Zero, will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
They run out the back garden, past the creature who was standing at the door.
They ran down an alleyway as someone was riding a bike as the Doctor stopped and faced Amelia. "You're Amelia," he said.
"You're late," Amelia said as she kept walking.
"You're Amelia Pond," Rose said, "the little girl."
"I'm Amelia and you both are late," she said.
"What happened, Amelia?" Rose said.
"Twelve years," Amelia answered.
"You hit us both with a cricket bat," he said in disbelief.
"Twelve years," Amelia scoffed
"A cricket bat," he said again.
"Twelve years and four psychiatrists," she told them.
"Four?" He asked in confusion.
"I kept biting them," she replied.
"Why?" He asked.
"They said you both weren't real," she answered.
"That doesn't mean you could bite them, Amelia," Rose said.
Amelia was about to respond but they heard the voice again over speakers of an ice cream truck, "Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence, or the human residence will be incinerated."
"No, no, no, come on…We're being staked out by an ice cream van?" Amelia said in disbelief and the Doctor headed for the van followed by Rose and Amelia.
"What's that? Why are you playing that?" He asked the ice cream vendor.
"It's supposed to be Claire de Lune," the ice cream vendor said as the Doctor picked up the radio
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated. Repeat Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."
Rose stepped away from the van and saw a jogger with an MP3 player and was receiving the message as well as a woman hearing it over her mobile.
"Doctor, Wolf, what's happening?" Amelia asked and both the Doctor and Rose leapt over a low white fence into a pretty front garden. While Amelia went around the front.
A large blue eyeball filled a TV screen and an elderly woman uses a remote to change the channel but they all showed the same thing as the Doctor and Rose entered the front door followed by Amelia.
"Hello! Sorry to burst in, we're doing a special on television faults in this area," the Doctor said before he looked at Amelia's outfit, "Also crimes, let's have a look." The Doctor took the remote from the woman.
"I was just about to phone," the woman said, "It's on every channel." She turned around and saw Amelia, "Hello, Amy, dear. Are you a policewoman now?"
"Well, sometimes," Amelia said.
"I thought you were a nurse," the woman said and both the Doctor and Rose had a shared look on their faces as they heard the woman call Amelia 'Amy'.
"I can be a nurse," Amelia said.
"Or actually a nun." The woman said.
"I dabble," Amelia said.
"Amy, who are your friends?" The woman asked her.
"Who's Amy? You were Amelia," he said, confused on why the woman was calling her 'Amy'.
"Yeah, and now I'm Amy," she said.
"Amelia Pond, that was a great name," he said.
"It was too long," Amy explained.
"I know you both don't I? I've seen you two somewhere before," the woman told the Doctor and Rose.
"How? We haven't met you before," the Doctor said with confusion, "Most of this incarnation of mine has either been in London or space." He then turned to Amy, "What sort of job's a kissogram?"
"I go to parties and I kiss people," Amy explained before clearing her throat, "With outfits, It's a laugh."
"You were a little girl five minutes ago," the Doctor stated.
"You're worse than my aunt," Amy told him.
"I'm the Doctor, this blonde next to me is my wife the Bad Wolf, I'm worse than everybody's aunt," he told her.
"And that is not how my husband introduces himself," Rose stated as the Doctor picked up a radio after taking out his brainy specs and put them on as he used his sonic screwdriver on the radio before They heard the amendment message about Prisoner Zero in French, German and Italian before it turned off.
"Okay, so it's everywhere in every Earth language. They're broadcasting to the whole world," he said before he went to a window, opened it and looked up.
"What's up there? What are you looking for?" Amy asked as the sky was clear blue with a few white clouds and then he walked around the room
"Okay, planet this size, two poles, your basic molten core... they're going to need a 40% fission blast." A young man entered and the Doctor walked towards him, "But they'll have to power up first, won't they? So assuming a medium sized starship, that's 20 minutes." The man was tall and the Doctor stood first in tip-toe and then goes back down "What do you think,20 minutes? Yeah, 20 minutes. We've got 20 minutes."
"20 minutes to what?" Amy asked.
"Are you the Doctor and the Bad Wolf?" The man asked the two gallifreyans.
"They are aren't they? They're the Doctor and the bad Wolf! The Doctor in a pinstriped suit and the Wolf in a leather jacket. All those cartoons you did, when you were little. The Doctor in a pinstriped suit and the Wolf in a leather jacket! it's them!" The woman said, laughing.
"Shut up," Amy said, softly as she cleared her throat.
"Cartoons?" The Doctor asked, bemused as he and Rose sat down on the couch.
"Gran it's them? Isn't it? It's really them!" The man said, happily, "I also recognize the man from the news when he, another blonde and a few soldiers escorted the wife of the late insane Prime Minister, Harold Saxon out after she murdered him on a flying airship a few months ago."
"Oh, that's another place I recognize him from," the woman realized, "You're not from any news channel are you?"
"Nope. And the blonde with me is the same blonde from the flying airship you were referring to," the Doctor answered.
"Jeff, shut up!" Amy snapped at the man, "Wolf, what does husband mean 20 minutes till what?"
The 'eye' was still on the Tv broadcasting its warning, "The human residence. They're not talking about your house, they're talking about the planet. Somewhere up there, there's a spaceship, and it's going to incinerate the planet, Amy," Rose explained.
"Twenty minutes to the end of the world," both Gallifreyans said at the same time.
A little boy was playing with a toy helicopter as the Doctor, Rose and Amy passed him by, in the other direction as the Time Lord now had his glasses back inside one of his jacket's inside pockets, "What is this place? Where are we?" The Doctor asked.
"Leadworth," Amy replied.
"Where's the rest of it?" Rose asked.
"This is it," Amy answered.
"Is there an airport?" the Doctor asked.
"No," Amy answered.
"A nuclear power station?" He asked her.
"No," Amy answered.
"Even a little one?" He asked her.
"No," Amy answered.
"Amy, What's the nearest city?" Rose asked Amy.
"Gloucester, half an hour by car," Amy answered.
"We don't have half an hour," he told her, "Do we have a car?"
"No," she answered.
"Well that's good!" He said, sarcastically.
"Like my husband said, Fantastic that is," Rose said, agreeing with her husband.
20 minutes to save the world and we've got a post office and it's shut!" He said, snapping at her and then he notices a duck pond, "What is that?"
"It's a duck pond," Amy answered as they head towards the duck pond and he saw no ducks in the pond.
"Why aren't there any ducks?" Rose asked her as she didn't see any ducks in the pond.
"I don't know," Amy shrugged. "There's never any ducks."
"Then how do you know it's a duck pond?" He asked her.
"It just is," she answered, "Is it important, the duck pond?"
"We don't know. Why would we know?" He answered before Rose fell over onto the ground near the water due to her still regenerating, "This is too soon for this to happen to you, Wolf."
"I know," she assured him.
"She's not ready, she's not done regenerating yet," He told Amy.
Suddenly the sky began to darken the three of them looked up, "What's happening? Why's it going dark?" Amy asked, the sun appeared grey and was flickering before returning close to how it normally seen on earth "So, what's wrong with the sun?" Amy asked.
"Nothing's wrong with it you were just looking at it through the atmosphere, you're seeing it what it looks like from space," Rose said.
"Wolf is correct," He said, agreeing with Rose, "They've sealed up your upper atmosphere, now they're getting ready to boil the planet." Amy looked around as the Doctor helped Rose back up before they looked in the same direction as Amy looked and saw the villagers were taking photos of the sun with their phones, "Oh, and here they come, the human race. The end comes as it was always going to, down a video phone!"
"This isn't real is it? This is some kind of big wind-up," Amy said, not accepting that any of this was real.
"Why would we wind you up?" The Doctor asked.
"You both told me that you both had a time machine that is also a spaceship," she said.
"And you believed us," he said.
"Then I grew up," Amy explained.
the Doctor stated "Oh! you never want to do that," he told her, "No, hang on, shut up, wait! I missed it," he said before he began running his hand through his hair, "I saw it and I missed it. What did I see?"
"What did you see?" Rose asked him.
"I won't find out any faster, Wolf, if you be quiet for a moment and let me concentrate to remember," he told her.
I saw... What did I see?" he asked himself as he reeled back the last few moments from a few hundred feet away and saw a few people with their phones out including old people and a woman in a red telephone box and then he got to what he saw, a young man with brown hair in the middle of the park wearing a nurse uniform and a jacket over it and was taking photos of prisoner Zero, who was still in the shape of a man and a dog from a few feet away on the road. The Doctor turned and looked at a clock and saw that they still had enough time "20 minutes. We can do it. 20 minutes, the planet burns. Run to your loved ones and say goodbye or stay and help us."
"No," Amy said.
"I'm sorry?"
"No!" She screamed as she took his tie out of his coat, grabbed it and pulled him to car that just parked and as she did that Rose followed and.
"Amy, no, no, what are you doing?" The Doctor asked her as As an old man that was in the car got out as she put his tie in the car door and slammed it shut and took the keys from the old man and locked the car doors.
"Are you out of your mind doing that to my husband?!" Rose asked her with surprise and disbelief.
"Who are the two of you?" Amy asked both Gallifreyans.
"You know who we are," the Doctor said.
"No, really, who are the two of you?" she asked.
"Look at the sky! End of the world 20 minutes," he reminded her.
You and both better talk quickly, then!" Amy said.
"Amy, I am going to need my car back," the old man said, interrupting them.
"Yes in a bit. Now go and have coffee." she suggested.
"Right, yes," he said, walking away.
The Doctor tossed the apple Amy gave them when she was 7 years old "Catch," he said and Amy caught it and looked at it, "I'm the Doctor."
"And I'm his wife, the Bad Wolf."
"We're time travellers," he added, "Everything We told you 12 years ago is true. We're real. What's happening in the sky is real and if you don't let me go right now, my wife won't stop it without me so everything you've ever known is over."
"I don't believe either of you," Amy said.
"Just 20 minutes just believe us for 20 minutes," he said, gripping Amy's wrist and then gestured towards the apple "Look at it Fresh as the day you gave it to us. And you know it's the same one." They paused for almost a minute "Amy, believe for 20 minutes."
"What do we do?" Amy asked as she then unlocked the car doors with the car keys.
"Stop that nurse!" The Doctor answered and took his ties out of the cars door and he ran towards the nurse as Rose and Amy followed after him as he took his phone from him and looked at it for a second before walking back to the nurse, "The sun's going out, and you're photographing a man and a dog. Why?"
Amy?" The nurse said as he saw Amy.
"Hi," she said to the nurse.
"Wait, you know each other, Amy?" Rose asked pointing to Amy and the Nurse as she was confused how they knew each other.
"Yeah," Amy answered, "this is Rory, he's a friend."
"Boyfriend," Rory said, correcting her.
"Kind of Boyfriend," Amy told them.
"Amy!"
"Man and dog, why?" The Doctor asked.
Rory realized who the Doctor and Rose were as his eyes widen in shock "Oh my god, it's them."
"Just answer his question, please," Amy said.
"It's them though," Rory said with disbelief in his voice, "The Doctor and Bad Wolf. The Doctor in a pinstriped suit and Wolf in leather jacket."
"Yeah, they came back," Amy explained.
"But they were a story," he said with confusion, "They were a game."
"Man and dog, why? Tell me now," the Doctor said, grabbing Rory by his shirt.
"Sorry, because he can't be there. Because," Rory starts.
"He's In a hospital, in a coma," both Rory and the Doctor said at the same time.
"Woah, that was weird," Rose said with disbelief on her face as she was shocked that the Doctor and Rory said the same thing at the same time.
"Yeah," Rory said, nodding his head as the Doctor let go of him "
Knew it. Multi-form you see. Disguise itself as anything, but needs a live feed, a psychic link with a living but dormant mind," the Doctor said when suddenly the multi-form snapped as the dog barked and snarled as the Doctor walked closer, "Prisoner Zero."
"What, there's a Prisoner Zero, too," Rory asked.
"Yes," Amy said as the Doctor looks behind and saw a spaceship that has an eye in it's center appeared in the sky and floated as it began scanning around for Prisoner Zero.
"See that ship up there is scanning this for non-terrestrial technology," the Doctor said as he took his screwdriver out, "And nothing says non-terrestrial like a Sonic Screwdriver." he activated his screwdriver and pointed it into the sky, causing the street lights to blow up.
"No!" someone exclaimed, as it also caused Cars to sound their horns
"Stop!" An old woman on a scooter screamed as it moved forward on it's own.
A firetruck without a firefighter in it was accelerating forward with it's siren going off and two firefighters ran after it, "Hey, come back here! Oi, come back here! Come back!" One of the firefighters said.
"I think someone's going to notice don't you?" He asked as the spaceship's scanner touched a cathedral and Prisoner Zero who barked and he lowered his screwdriver and aims the screwdriver at a phone box, which exploded and the screwdriver suddenly sparked and fizzled, causing the Doctor to drop it to the ground. "No, no, no, don't do that!" The spaceship then flew away.
"Come back! The prisoner you're looking for is here!" Rose shouted to the spaceship as it flew away, but unbeknown to them Prisoner Zero dissolves into slime and escapes down a sewage drain, which Amy saw it.
"Doctor, Wolf! The drain. It sort of melted and went down the drain," Amy told both gallifreyans.
"Well, of course it did," the Doctor said.
"Well, what do we do now?" Rose and Amy asked.
"It's hiding in human form," the Doctor said, "We need to drive it into the open. No TARDIS, one screwdriver is working so it won't help us that much, 17 minutes. Come on, think. Think."
The Doctor, Rose, Amy and Rory were soon standing above the drain, "So that thing, that hid in my house for 12 years?" Amy asked.
"Amy, a multi-form can live for a few thousand years," Rose said.
"Wolf is right, Multi-forms can live for a few millennia," the Doctor said, "12 years is just a pit stop."
"So how come you both show up on the same day that lot do?" Amy asked, "The same minute."
"They're looking for him, but followed us. They saw us through the crack, they got a fix, knew we could find him, but they're only late 'cause we are," he explained.
What are they on about?" Rory asked.
"Nurse boy give me your phone," the Doctor said.
"How can they be real?" Rory asked, "They were never real."
"Phone, now give me!" The Doctor snapped at Rory.
"Rude!" Rose told the Doctor and Rory hands his phone to the Doctor.
"They were just a game," Rory said, "We were kids. Amy made me dress up as you and she dressed up as Wolf."
"These photos, they are all the coma patients?" The Doctor asked Rory as he looked at the photos on Rory's phone.
"Yeah," Rory said.
"No , they're all the multi-form," the Doctor told Rory, "Eight comas, eight disguises for Prisoner Zero."
"He had a dog though," Amy suggested A dog in a coma?"
"It's part of the dream, Amy," Rose explained, "Whatever the coma patient dreams about becomes reality as long as the multi-form is currently disguising as that form."
"Exactly what Wolf said," the Doctor added, "The coma patient dreams he's walking a dog, Prisoner Zero gets a dog. Laptop! Your friend, what was his name?"
"Amy, he's not talking about Rory, your other friend," Rose said, "The one who asked if we were the Doctor and the Bad Wolf."
"Jeff," Amy answered.
"Oh, thanks," Rory said, sarcastically.
"He had a laptop in his bag, a laptop. Big bag, big laptop," the Doctor said, "I need Jeff's laptop. You three, get to the hospital, get everyone out that ward, clear the whole floor. Wolf, phone me when you're done." He ran off as Amy grabbed Roy's hand with Rose following them.
"Your car, Come on," Amy said.
"How can you two be here, Wolf?" Rory asked Rose. "how can you and the Doctor be here?"
"The TARDIS, our spaceship and time machine is still rebuilding, which caused it to travel farther in time than we expected," Rose explained to Rory as they drove off in Rory's car which was a mini-cooper, on the way to the hospital Rory gave Rose his phone number, while the Doctor entered Jeff's house.
The Doctor entered Jeff's bedroom where Jeff was lying on his bed using his laptop, "Hello. Laptop, give me!" The Doctor said as he grabbed it.
"No, no, no, no, wait, hang on!" Jeff said, refusing to let go.
"It's fine, give it here," the Doctor said as He took the laptop and sat at the bottom of the bed and saw that Jeff was watching Porn. "Blimey! Get a girlfriend, Jeff."
"Gran," Jeff said as the door to his room opened as his gran entered.
"What are you doing?" Jeff's grandmother asked the Doctor
"The sun's gone wibbly, so right now, somewhere out there, there's going to be a big video conference call," the Doctor explained as he kept typing. "All the experts in the world panicking at once, and do you know what they need? Me. Ah, and here they all are. All the big boys. NASA, Jodrell Bank, Tokyo Space Centre, Patrick Moore."
"Ooh, I like Patrick Moore," Jeff's grandmother said.
"I'll get you his number," the Doctor offered, "but watch him, he's a devil."
"You can't just hack in on a call like that," Jeff told him.
"Can't I?" The Doctor asked him as he held his psychic paper to the webcam.
"Who are you?" An expert asked, "This is a secure call. What are you doing?"
"Hello. I know, you should switch me off. But before you do, watch this," the Doctor said.
"It's here too, I'm getting it," another expert said.
"Fermat's Theorem, the proof, and I mean the real one, never seen before. Poor old Fermat, got killed in a duel before he could write it down. My fault, I slept in. Oh, and here's an oldie but a goodie - why electrons have mass. And a personal favourite of mine, faster-than-light travel with two diagrams and a joke. Look at your screens. Whoever I am, I'm a genius. Look at the sun. You need all the help you can get. Fellas, pay attention," the Doctor explained as he took out Rory's phone and typed something on the mobile.
"Sir, what are you doing?" An expert asked him.
"I'm writing a computer virus," the Doctor answered. "Very clever, super-fast, and a tiny bit alive, but don't let on. Why am I writing it on a phone? Never mind, you'll find out. OK, I'm sending this to all your computers. Get everyone who works for you sending this everywhere. Email, text, Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, radar dish - whatever social network you've got. Any questions?"
"Who was your lady friend?" Patrick Moore asked.
"Patrick, behave!" The Doctor scolded
"What does this virus do?" An expert asked.
"It's a reset command, that's all. It resets counters, it gets in the wifi and resets every counter it can find. Clocks, calendars, anything with a chip will default at zero at exactly the same time," the Doctor explained. "But, yeah, I could be lying, why should you trust me? I'll let my best man explain well, besides one that is immortal." He then turned to Jeff, "Jeff, your my other best man."
"Your what?" Jeff asked him and the Doctor closed the laptop halfway. "Listen to me. In ten minutes, you're going to be a legend. In ten minutes, everyone on that screen is going to be offering you any job you want. But first, you have to be magnificent. You have to make them trust you and get them working. This is it, Jeff. Right here, right now. This is when you fly. Today's the day you save the world."
"Why me?" Jeff asked him.
"It's your bedroom. Now go, go, go," the Doctor answered and he left and Jeff opened the laptop. "OK, guys, let's do this." He started typing and suddenly the Doctor came back in the room. "Oh, and delete your internet history." He left again and ran out of Jeff's house, looked around then ran off.
Rory was talking with other nurses while Rose was on her mobile, Amy next to her. Rory rejoined the girls, "Something's happened up there," he said "we can't get through."
Rose dialed Rory's phone number on her phone to call the Doctor.
"Yes, but what's happened?" Amy asked him.
"I don't know. No-one knows," Rory answered before turning to Rose, "Wolf, phone him."
"I am phoning him, Rory," Rose said as the Doctor answered the phone, "Doctor? We're at the hospital, but we can't get through. Oh, that's brilliant!"
"Wolf, what did he say?" Rory asked Rose.
"Have Amy and Rory look in the mirror," Rose said as Amy turned to see her reflection.
"There. Nothing there," Amy said, confused as Rose rolled her eyes and pointed to Amy's costume. "Oh! Ha-ha! Uniform!"
Amy put her hair up while Rose talked to the Doctor. "Are you on your way? You're going to need a car."
"Don't worry, Wolf," he said, "I've commandeered a vehicle."
"Do you even know how to drive?" She asked him.
"Yes, I do Wolf," he answered, "When I was exiled to Earth when I was in the 3rd incarnation in the late 20th century I had a canary-yellow Edwardian roadster that I called 'Bessy'. That's how I know how to drive... sorta."
Rory, Rose and Amy got out of a lift and saw the corridors were a mess; gurneys and tables overturned, scrubs and utensils littered the floor. A woman holding the hands of her two daughters saw them, "Officer," the woman said to Amy
"What happened?" Amy asked
"There was a man. A man with a dog," the woman answered, "I think Dr. Ramsden's dead. And the nurses."
"Are you in?" the Doctor asked Rose as he phoned her.
"Yep. But so's Prisoner Zero." Rose Answered.
"You need to get out of there," the Doctor told her, "You're still regenerating, Wolf, if he fatally wounds you, you'd die and I won't be able to live without you, like I couldn't after I destroyed Gallifrey before I met you. "
"I know that, Doctor," she said, " We're just not sure where he is."
Rory turned from Amy to the woman as she spoke again and noticed it was one of the girls. "He was so angry. He kept shouting. And that dog, the size of that dog, I swear it was rabid." Amy tapped Rose on the shoulder. Rose looked up and slowly backed away with Rory and Amy. "And he just went mad, attacking everyone. Where did he go, did you see? Has he gone? We hid in the ladies. Oh, I'm getting it wrong again, aren't I? I'm always doing that. So many mouths." The woman said and she opened her mouth to reveal teeth so did the girls, revealing her to be Prisoner Zero.
"Oh, my God!" Rory cried out, as he was freaked out.
"Wolf? Wolf, what's happening?" The Doctor asked on the phone as Rose, Rory and Amy ran down the corridor into one of the wards. They closed the doors and slid a broom through the handles, "Wolf, talk to me!" They backed away from the doors to the centre of the ward.
"We're in the coma ward," Rose told him, "But it's here, it's getting in."
"Which window are you?" He asked her.
"Window? What, sorry?" Rose asked, not hearing him properly.
"Which window?" He asked her again.
"Which window are we at?" Rose asked Amy
"First floor on the left, fourth from the end," Amy answered before Rose repeated what Amy said into the phone.
"Oh, dear. Little Amelia Pond, Prisoner Zero said as they broke through into the coma ward, "I've watched you grow up. 12 years, and you never even knew I was there. Little Amelia Pond, waiting for her magic Doctor and his wife, the Bad Wolf to return, but not this time, Amelia." She opened her mouth.
Rose's phone beeped as she got a text message from the Doctor saying 'Duck!' Rose heard the wail of the siren and pushed Rory and Amy down just as the ladder from a fire engine broke through the window. The Doctor climbed up the ladder and joined the trio. "Right! Hello! Am I late?" He asked them, he looked at the clock "No, three minutes to go. So still time."
"Time for what, Time Lord?" Prisoner Zero asked him.
"Take the disguise off," The Doctor said, "They'll find you in a heartbeat. Nobody dies."
"The Atraxi will kill me this time," Prisoner Zero stated, "If I am to die, let there be fire."
"OK. You came to this world by opening a crack in space and time," the Doctor told Prisoner Zero, "Do it again, just leave."
"I did not open the crack," Prisoner Zero said.
"Somebody did," The Doctor scoffed.
"The cracks in the skin of the universe, don't you know where they came from? You don't, do you?" Prisoner Zero said and then She spoke in a little girl's voice. "The Doctor in the TARDIS doesn't know. Doesn't know, doesn't know!" Prisoner Zero said in a sing song voice, mockingly.
"The universe is cracked. The Pandorica will open. Silence will fall," Prisoner Zero said in a normal voice.
There was a clicking sound and The Doctor turned and looked up at the wall, "And we're off!" He said as he pointed at a clock which read 0:00, "Look at that. Look at that! Yeah, I know, just a clock, whatever. But do you know what's happening right now? In one little bedroom, my team are working. Jeff and the world. And do you know what they're doing? They're spreading the word all over the world, quantum fast. The word is out. And do you know what the word is? The word is' zero'. Now, me, if I was up in the sky in a battleship, monitoring all Earth communications, I'd take that as a hint. And if I had a whole battle fleet surrounding the planet, I'd be able track a simple old computer virus to its source in, what, under a minute?" He took Rory's mobile out from his pocket, "The source, by the way, is right here." Suddenly a bright light shone through the windows. "Oh! And I think they just found us!"
"Being a showoff like usual I see," Rose said, cheekily and smiled as she stuck her tongue between her teeth.
"The Atraxi are limited," Prisoner Zero told him, "While I'm in this form, they'll still be unable to detect me. They've tracked a phone, not me."
"Yeah, but this is the good bit. I mean, this is my favourite bit. Do you know what this phone is full of? Pictures of you. Every form you've learned to take, right here. Oh, and being uploaded about now," the Doctor said, "And the final score is - no TARDIS, screwdrivers not being much use, two minutes to spare. We saved the world!"
"Then I shall take a new form," Prisoner Zero told him.
"Oh stop it, you know you can't," he argued, "It takes months to form that kind of psychic link."
"And I've had years," Prisoner Zero stated.
Amy almost fell to the floor but Rose caught her and placed her down as the Doctor rushed over to her, "No! Amy?" Rose said frantically as she put her hands to Amy's face, "You've got to hold on. Amy! Don't sleep! You've got to stay awake, please."
Rory looked at Prisoner Zero, "Doctor?"
"Why are you copying me and Wolf when you're linked with Amy?" The Doctor asked as he saw that Prisoner Zero had copied both him and Rose as he approached the copies of him and Rose.
Rose stood up and walked over "I think it's what Amy's dreaming about, Rose said, "I think Prisoner Zero is copying Amy when she was a child, and is dreaming about us."
They suddenly heard Amy's voice from when she was a child, "You're correct, Rose." She stuck her head around the copy of Rose, "Poor Amy Pond. Still such a child inside. Dreaming of the magic Doctor and his wife, the Bad Wolf she knows will return to save her. What a disappointment you two have been."
"No, she's dreaming about us 'cause she can hear us," the Doctor said as he shook his head, "She and the Doctor ran back to Amy. "Amy, don't just hear me, listen, he said. "Remember the room, the room in your house you couldn't see? Remember you went inside. me and Rose tried to stop you, but you did. You went in the room. You went inside. Amy…dream about what you saw."
"No... no... No!" Prisoner Zero shouted, panicking and glows as they transformed back to its natural form which was an eel-like creature.
The Doctor faced it and said, "Well done, Prisoner Zero. A perfect impersonation of yourself," the Doctor said as he faced Prisoner Zero as Prisoner Zero was caught in the light and writhed.
"Prisoner Zero is located," they heard a voice say, "Prisoner Zero is restrained."
"Silence," Prisoner Zero hissed, "Doctor and Bad Wolf. Silence will fall." He disappeared. There was a whoosh of air as the ship left. The Doctor ran to the window and dialed the mobile.
"The sun, it's back to normal, right?" Rory said, "That's... That's good, yeah? That means it's over."
Amy woke up "Amy? Are you OK? Are you with us?" Rose asked
"What happened?" Amy asked
"He did it," Rory answered, "The Doctor did it."
"No, I didn't," the Doctor said.
"What are you doing?" Rory asked him.
"Tracking the signal back," the Doctor said, "Sorry, in advance."
"About what?"
"The bill." The Doctor said as he put the phone to his ear, "Oi, I didn't say you could go! Article 57 of the Shadow Proclamation. This is a fully established, level 5 planet, and you were going to burn it? What...? Did you think no-one was watching? You lot, back here. Now!" He then tossed the phone back to Rory, "OK. Now I've done it." He then left the ward with Rose and Amy following him.
"Did he just bring them back? Did he just save the world from aliens and then bring all the aliens back again?" Rory asked.
"He's just going to settle a score with them, diplomatically," Rose told him.
"Where are you going?" Amy asked as both the Doctor and Rose walked down a corridor.
"The roof," the Doctor answered.
The Doctor strode over with Rose to where the Atraxi ship was waiting. Amy and Rory stood back a bit. "So this was a good idea, was it? They were leaving," Amy asked.
"Leaving is good. Never coming back is better," the Doctor said, "Come on, then! The Doctor will see you now."
"You both are not of this world,' the Atraxi said after the 'eye' disconnected from the ship and scanned the Doctor and Rose.
"No, but we've put a lot of work into it," the Doctor told the Atraxi.
"I am of this world," Rose argued, "I may not be human anymore but that doesn't make me from Earth."
"No, but me and my wife put a lot of work into it," the Doctor said as he straightened his jacket.
"Is this world important?" The Atraxi asked them.
"Important? Do you care about any living thing?" Rose said as she snapped at the Atraxi.
"Yeah, what she said, what's that mean, important?" He asked the Atraxi, "6 billion people live here, is that important? Here's a better question. Is this world a threat to the Atraxi? Well, come on. You're monitoring the whole planet. IS this world a threat?"
The Atraxi made a holographic sphere appear and it displayed events in modern earth history including the first time America used a Nuclear weapon on another country in the city of Hiroshima in the Empire of Japan, then it soon showed an image of the statue Christ the redeemer in Rio de janeiro, then it showed Mahatma Gandhi with his supporters protesting against British Rule in British Raj on the Indian subcontinent.
No."
"Are the peoples of this world guilty of any crime by the laws of the Atraxi?" The Doctor asked and the holographic sphere displayed images of multiple humans.
"No."
"OK," the Doctor went on, "One more. Just one. Is this world protected? Because you're not the first lot to come here." As the Doctor spoke, the holographic sphere showed Cybermen and Daleks, the Queen of the Racnoss, Ood, Sycorax, a Sontaran, a Sea Devil, Reapers, the Hath and the Vashta Nerada in the spacesuit. "There have been so many! And what you've got to ask is... what happened to them?"
The projection now showed all the incarnations the Doctor including the War Doctor before the current incarnation of the Doctor walked through the holographic sphere, holding hands with Rose, "I'm the Doctor, the oncoming storm and this is my wife, the Bad Wolf," the Doctor said, introducing himself and Rose to the Atraxi, "All you need to do is basically just run."
The Atraxi 'eye flew back into the center of the ship and departed, scared for their lives and Amy laughed. The Doctor felt hot something in his pocket. He reached in and pulled out his TARDIS key and it was glowing and showed it to Rose.
"Is that it? Is that them gone for good? Who were they?" Amy asked still looking up at the sky and as she looked down from the sky to see the Doctor and Rose were gone.
The Doctor and Rose returned to Amy's back garden and the TARDIS and saw that the TARDIS had refurbished its exterior as well as now displaying a St. John Ambulance logo on it's door and a darker shade of blue as They stopped in front of it.
"OK! What have you got for us this time?" The Doctor asked the TARDIS and he opened the door and he stood there, amazed. "Look at you!" The Doctor said as he smiled, "Oh, Old girl, your new design looks nice." Amy and Rory both ran up just as the TARDIS dematerialized. Amy closed her eyes as she remembered when she was little, how she waited all night and heard the TARDIS as she smiled.
Rose went to the Wardrobe room to change her clothes as she took off her leather jacket and tried on a dress but it didn't look good on her before doing the same with a dress shirt and jacket as well as a miniskirt but it didn't fit well with her new dress sense as well and then tried on a blue shirt and a dark pink jacket as well as jeans and it suited her new dress appeal and went back to the console room where the Doctor, who now had his brown overcoat on was waiting for her.
"Time to pick up Amy," she said as he set the console to Amy's house and the TARDIS materialized in Amy's backyard, as the Doctor and Rose stepped out of the TARDIS, they saw that it was dark out, close to midnight, about 11:45 PM.
Amy came out of her house in a nightie, "Sorry, about running off earlier," the Doctor said, apologizing to Amy, "Brand new TARDIS, bit exciting Just had a quick hop to the moon and back to run her in while Wolf changed her clothes. She's ready for the big stuff now."
Amy approached them. "It's the two of you," she said, "You both came back."
"Course we came back," he responded, "We always come back."
"He's right, Amy we always come back," Rose said.
"Something wrong with that?" He asked her.
"Are you two from another planet?" Amy asked them.
"Yep!" The Doctor answered.
"I'm an alien, but I used to be human," Rose told her.
"Okay," Amy said.
"So what do you think?" He asked her.
"Oh what?" Amy asked.
"Other planets, want to check them out?"
"What does that mean?" Amy asked.
"Amy, it means come travel with us," Rose said.
"Where?" Amy asked them.
"Wherever you like," the Doctor said.
"All that stuff, the hospital, the spaceships, Prisoner Zero…" Amy said.
"Oh, don't worry. That's just the beginning. There's loads more," he said.
"Yeah, but those things, amazing things, all that stuff…" she started before snapping at them, "That was two years ago!"
"Oh, oops," he muttered as Rose laughed at him.
"He did it before Amy, once he meant to travel 12 hours in the future," Rose said as she turned to him, "but was actually 12 months."
"You're never gonna let that down are you, Wolf?"
"Never," she replied and stuck her tongue between her teeth as she smiled.
"Anyway, so that's…" He started.
"Fourteen years!" Amy confirmed.
"Fourteen years since you first met us and Wolf asked for Fish and Chips," he said, "Amy Pond, the girl who waited, you've waited long enough."
"When I was a kid you both said there was a swimming pool and a library and the swimming pool was in the library," Amy said.
"Yeah," he said, "We're not sure where it's got to now. It'll turn up. So, coming?"
"No," Amy said, nervously and Rose was shocked that Amy said that.
"You wanted to come 14 years ago," he said.
"I grew up."
"Don't worry. We'll soon fix that," he said before snapping his fingers and the TARDIS doors opened and Amy walked inside the TARDIS followed by Rose and the Doctor before he closed the door behind him. The TARDIS console room was now more futuristic and science fiction than organic. The center column was on a floor that allowed one to see underneath. There were also stairs leading to other levels and doors but still had the coral struts that surrounded the room.
"Well? Anything you want to say? Any passing remarks?" He asked Amy, "We've heard them all."
"I'm in my nightie," Amy muttered.
"Don't worry about that, Amy, we have some clothes we can get for you in the wardrobe room," Rose said.
"Wolf is right, and there's possibly a swimming pool in there," he said, agreeing with Rose.
"No, there wasn't, Doctor," Rose told him, "It possibly became it's own room."
"So, all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will, where do you want to start?" He asked Amy.
"You both are so sure that I'm coming," Amy said as she approached them.
"Yeah, we are," the Doctor said.
"Why?" Amy asked.
"'Cause you're the Scottish girl in the English village," the Doctor said, walking around the console, "and I know how that feels."
"Oh, do you?" Amy asked him.
"All these years living here most of your life, and you've still got that accent," he said, pointing at her, "Yeah, you're coming." He slammed his hand on a bell on the console which went ding.
"Can you both get me back for tomorrow morning?" Amy asked.
"It's a time machine. We can get you back for five minutes ago. Why, what's tomorrow?" He asked her.
"Nothing. Nothing. Just… You know stuff," Amy replied as Rose began to suspect that something was actually tomorrow that Amy was keeping secret from them.
"All right, then. the Doctor said, "Back in time for stuff." Suddenly the console made a noise as a screwdriver that looked like the Doctor's that the Atraxi destroyed appeared, "Oh! A new of the same case!" He then extended the screwdriver as he activated it before putting it inside of of his jacket's inside pockets, "Thanks, dear," he whispered to the TARDIS before he and Rose began setting the coordinates.
"Why me?" Amy suddenly asked.
"Why not?" He countered.
"No seriously, you both are asking me to travel with both of you in the middle of the night. It's a fair question. Why me?"
"I don't know. Fun. Do we have to have a reason?" He asked her.
"People always have a reason," she said.
"Do we look like your average people, Amy?" Rose asked.
"Yes," Amy replied.
"We've been knocking around with each other, alone for a while. Our choice. But It's weird," he told her.
"You're both lonely. That's it? Just that?" Amy said.
"Just that. Promise," he said as he walked in front of a new monitor and on it Rose noticed that it had the same crack that was on Amy's wall when she was a child
"Okay," Amy said, walking away as the Doctor noticed the monitor and switched it off and both he and Rose walked towards Amy, "So, are you okay, then? 'Cause this place sometimes it can make people feel a bit… You know."
"I'm fine. I'm Fine," Amy said, "It's just… There's a whole world in here like you both said it's all true. I thought… Well, I started to think that maybe you both were like two mad people with a box."
"Amy Pond. There's something you better understand about us, 'cause it's important and one day your life may depend on it. We are definitely two mad people with a box," he said with a smirk as he laughed, "Yeah." He and Rose went back over to the console, "Goodbye Leadworth. Hello, everything!" He pulled down the dematerialization switch and they held onto the console as the TARDIS dematerialized.

Also For those who are curious the TARDIS' new interior is a mixture of the 9th/10th Doctor's and the 11th Doctor's TARDIS interiors.
