Disclaimer:I don't own Doctor who that goes to the BBC
Half an hour later the Doctor and Rose slowly woke up and saw a policewoman with ginger hair in a skirt speaking into her radio white male and female mid-20s, breaking and entering. Send me some backup. I've got them restrained." The woman then saw that they were awake "Oi, you two! sit still."
"Cricket bat. I'm getting cricket bat," the Doctor said after clearing his throat.
"Definitely, Cricket bat," Rose agreed.
"You both were breaking and entering," the policewoman countered and the Doctor tried to stand up, only to find that he was handcuffed to the radiator. "Well, that's much better. Brand New us, whack on the head. Just what we needed."
"Do you want to shut up now? I've got backup on the way!" The police officer said.
"Hang on,no,wait, you're a police woman," he noted.
"And you're breaking and entering. You see how this works?" She snapped.
"What are you doing here?" Rose asked her. "Where's Amelia?"
"Amelia Pond?" The police officer asked her.
"Yeah, little Scottish girl. Where is she we promised her five minutes but the engines were phasing. I suppose we must have gone a bit far. Has something happened to her?" The Doctor answered.
"Amelia Pond hasn't lived here in a long time," the police officer replied.
"How long?" He asked her.
"Six months."
"No,no, no, no!" He scoffed, "We can't be six months late! We said five minutes. We promised." He sniffs and the police officer walked away grabbing her radio. "What happened to her? What happened to Amelia Pond?" He asked and the police officer spoke into her radio, "Sarge, it's me again. Hurry it, these two know something about Amelia Pond."
She walked back to them, "We need to speak to whoever lives in this house, right now," the Doctor demanded.
"I live here," the police officer said. "But, you're the police," Rose said. "Yes," the police officer said "and this is where I live. Have either of you got a problem with that?"
"How many rooms?" The Doctor asked her.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"On this floor. How many rooms on this floor? Count with me now," he said.
"Why she asked.
"Because it will change how you see things," Rose answered.
"Five," the police officer said and points at rooms as she counted "One, two, three, four five."
"Six," both Gallifreyans said.
"Six?" The police officer scoffed
"Look," the Doctor said.
"Look where?"
"Exactly where you don't want to look. Where you never want to look. The corner of your eye. Look behind you," the Doctor said and the police officer, slowly turned around, looking in the corner of her eye and saw the door that the Doctor noticed. "That's… That is not possible. How is that possible?"
"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 officer said in confusion. "That's a whole room I've never even noticed."
"The filter stops you. Something came a while ago to hide. It's still hiding," the Doctor explained. "You need to uncuff us now!" The police officer slowly walked down the hall towards the room, "I don't have the key. I lost it," she said.
"How could you have lost it?! Stay away from that door!"The Doctor shouted and the Police officer kept walking towards the door. "Do not touch that door!" The police officer puts her hand on the doorknob "Listen to me! Do not touch that…" As the police officer turned the doorknob the Doctor looked at Rose "Why does no one ever listens to me? Do I just have a face that nobody listens to?" The police officer slowly entered the room. "Again?"
"Probably," Rose shrugged and he frantically searches his pockets. "My screwdriver, where is it? Arkytior where's yours?"
Rose searches 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. Silver things one's blue at the end and the other one is 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 pink?" The police officer asked from the room. "Our screwdrivers, yeah," Rose said. "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 and both gallifreyans shared 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?" The Doctor asked her. "There's nothing here, but…" the Police officer said. "Corner of your eye," Rose said and 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 down the hall to the Doctor and Rose "Give me that!" The Doctor snapped, the police officer gives him the screwdrivers handed Rose her screwdriver, The 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 interdimensional multi-form from outer space. They're all terrified of wood!" He said sarcastically and suddenly a bright yellowish light came from inside the room "What's that? What's it doing?" The police officer asked and Rose looked up "Uh, I'm not sure probably getting dressed," she said "Run, just go. Your backup's coming, we'll be fine."
"there is no backup," the police officer told them and the Doctor and Rose looked at her surprised "We heard you on the radio. You called for backup." The police officer looked at them "I was pretending It's a pretend radio."
"But you're a policewoman," the Doctor said, still confused and suddenly she took off her hat "I'm a kiss-o-gram!" she exclaimed and 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.
"No, it isn't," the Doctor said "Look at the faces." The man growled and barked like a dog, while the dog remained still and immobile. "What? I'm sorry, but what?" The woman asked them with confusion and looked down at the Doctor and Rose.
"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 and the multi-form snarled , advanced towards them and opened his mouth showing sharp alien-like teeth. "Stay, boy!" The Doctor shouts at the creature and 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 said and the Doctor called to the multi-form "Okay, one more time. We do have backup and that's definitely why we're safe."
"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence, or the human residence will be incinerated," the voice added. "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 policewoman?"
"You both broke into my house! It was either this or a french maid!" the woman snapped "What's going on? One of you tell me! Tell me!" She asked the two Gallifreyans and they reached the Tardis "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. "Me too," both gallifreyans said as the Doctor tries to use his Tardis key in the keyhole of the Tardis but wasn't working. "No,no don't do that not now! It's still rebuilding, not letting us in!"
"Prisoner Zero, will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated." The creature who was still in the form of the man and dog watched from the window, barking at them.
The woman grabbed both Gallifreyans by the arms "Come on." The Doctor resisted "No, wait, hang on, wait, wait, wait. The shed," he said and 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 on the new shed "That new one looks a decade old, 12 years old at least." The Doctor looked at Rose and back at the shed and saw that she was correct and sniffs the wood, before rubbing his finger around the wood and tasting it. "Rose, you were correct, we're 12 years late, not six months we're 12 years late."
"He's coming," the woman said as the Doctor approached her. "Why did you tell us that we were six months late?" Rose asked. "We've got to go," the woman said dodging the question.
"This matters. This is important. Why did you say five minutes?" He snapped at her. "Why did you two say five minutes?!" She snapped back at him.
"What?" Both Gallifreyans said, stunned and it wa sat this moment they realized she was Amelia
"Come on," Amelia said and both Gallifreyans repeated themselves "Come on!" the woman repeated herself, pulling them by the arm, and the two 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 and someone was riding a bike and the Doctor stopped and faced Amelia. "You're Amelia," he said and she kept walking "You're late," she said.
"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 scoffs "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 and 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 and 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, Rose, 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. 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
And he looks 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.
"Bit fairytale," she reminded him.
"But it was a great name," Rose said.
"I know you, don't I? I've seen you two somewhere before," the woman told the Doctor and Rose. "Not us. Brand new faces," the Doctor said before opening his mouth, showing the woman the inside of his mouth "First time on." He turned to Amy "And what sort of Job's a kissogram?"
"I go to parties and I kiss people," Amy answered before clearing her throat "With outfits. It's a laugh."
"You were a little girl five minutes ago," he said.
"You're worse than my aunt," she told him.
"I'm the Doctor, the blonde is my wife and I'm worse than everybody's aunt."
"And that is not how he's introducing ourselves," Rose told the woman as the Doctor picked up a radio and uses his sonic screwdriver on it. They heard the amendment message about Prisoner Zero in French, German and Italian before it turned off. "Okay, so it's everywhere, in every language they're broadcasting to the whole world." He went to a window, opened it and looked up.
"What's up there? What are you looking for?" Amy asked and 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 Rose?" The man asked the two gallifreyans and the woman laughed "they are arn't they? They're the Doctor and Rose! The raggedy Doctor and his wife Rose. All those cartoons cartoons you did when you were little. The Raggedy Doctor and his wife Rose! It's them!"
Amy clears her throat "Shut up," she said softly.
"Cartoons?" The Doctor asked, bemused, he and Rose sat down on the couch.
"Gran, it's them, isn't it? It's really them!" The man said.
"Jeff, shut up!" Amy snapped at the man. "Rose 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 the Doctor and Rose said.
Please review and tell me if I'm making Rose sound like well… Rose Because I still don't know how to write her properly and I need a beta-reader.
