Hello everyone!

First of all thank you for all your comments and suggestions! Keep sending them in please.

Second of all my plan for the next few chapters: Due to popular demand Heaven Sent/Hell Bent will be next for angst purposes. Then the Husbands of River Song for a bit of humour and to see their relationship. Then Boom Town as I love that episode and I will need a break from the angst at that point. After that is still undecided.

This is a nice, calm chapter for both me and the characters involved.

So as always I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you for reading!

Please (as ever) let me know what you think!

Robyn


Without any real concept of time, people started trickling into the kitchen at varying times. It had likely been several hours at least and most people had been thankful for the chance to truly relax and get some sleep, as it had been a very long and emotional day.

When they woke up and got ready everyone made their way to the kitchen, despite it never being discussed. They spent the time waiting for everyone to be up and ready, chatting away, eating and sharing stories of life both with and without the Doctor. It was a nice change from the tense atmosphere that had permeated the room the day before (if time was real and therefore days) and no one was awake enough for any emotionally charged conversations yet.

Soon everyone was ready and unanimously it was decided to make their way back to the screen room, ready to see what they would be shown next. There were mixed feelings towards the videos; on one hand it allowed them to see each other and share laughs over some of their more fun adventures but in the other hand there were plenty of things that no one wanted to relive.

The Master was the last one to arrive in the screen room, having avoided the kitchen and everyone else in general since the end of the last video. The group was all settled in their previous seats, with the only change being Rose having joined Martha, Mickey and Donna on their sofa, she'd happily settled next to Donna. As with the previous videos the screen went blank and the word 'Rose' appeared on the screen.

Everyone promptly turned to Rose with questioning looks and grins. She just smiled. "Guess whatever we're going to see is about me."

The Doctor smiled at her. "Maybe it's the first time we met?"

Rose just laughed at that, nodding. That would be fun to see if not a bit embarrassing at times. Mickey groaned; if the Doctor was right this was definitely going to be embarrassing for him. Martha grinned at her husband's worry – he'd mentioned he had changed after meeting the Doctor but she was excited to see what he had actually been like first-hand.

The rest of the room was eager and curious, the meeting of Rose and the Doctor would likely be a nice break from the tension of the last few episodes. It would be nice to see how the pair met as well. With no one discussion, the video started.

At the Tyler flat in London, Rose gets out of bed as her alarm clock goes off. She dresses and says goodbye to her mother who is watching tv

"Oh no, this is going to be embarrassing, isn't it?" Rose groaned with Mickey nodding nearby, Martha was just grinning excitedly.

The Doctor grinned. "Well, your mum is going to be on screen, so -."

"Oi!" Rose complained but she was grinning. Jack had started chuckling, he wasn't even bothering to hide his excitement at seeing his original Doctor again, or his joy at seeing Rose. The days when it was just the three of them were some of his favourite memories.

Rose arrives at Henrick's department store

"Oh yeah this is definitely the day we met." Rose sighed, but it was ruined by a smile. They were some good memories despite the chaos. The room looked at her confused, how could she tell that just by arriving at work? The few that knew were grinning wildly.

"What year is it?" Yaz asked curious, it did seem a bit older.

"2005, god I was only 19. Seems like not that long ago. What year are you guys from?" Rose answered.

"2020. Ryan and I were only 6 in 2005." Yaz answered sheepishly.

Rose groaned. "That makes me feel so old." A few others around the room nodded while the rest started laughing. The Doctor was laughing especially hard, as was Jack.

The day passes as Rose works, she meets Mickey, her boyfriend, for lunch then goes back to work

"Wait you were dating Mickey?" Bill asked, pointing at Mickey, seeing their offended looks she rapidly continued. "I just mean, like, he'd obviously married to Martha. Just a bit weird to think he was dating you first. No offense."

"No offense taken. Yeah, we were dating but we're happy now and we're still friends." Mickey answered, squeezing Martha's hand in reassurance (not that she needed it, but he liked to make sure).

The store closes and a guard orders Rose to deliver a plastic bag as everyone else leaves

"Well, that's just rude." Donna complained. Rose just smiled at her then glanced ta the Doctor. It was weird to think that if she hadn't had to deliver the money, she probably would have never met the Doctor.

Rose takes the bag down the lift into the basement looking for Wilson (the chief electrician) to give him the lottery money. She calls out for him so she can leave but he doesn't answer

"Impatient." Jack teased, grinning. He really couldn't contain his excitement over this episode. The pair had mentioned how they'd met but only with infuriating one-liner and vague mentions as was typical with the Doctor. It would be great to hear, well see, the full story.

"You try working at a shop all day then see how patient you are." Rose argued.

"I know how you feel." Martha smiled at Rose, before shooting a pointed look at The Doctor who grinned sheepishly.

She hears a clattering noise down the corridor

"So, you're in the basement of an empty shop and the person you're looking for is missing. Plus, there are weird noises coming from the room. You're definitely in trouble and should get out of there." Rory summarised with an exasperated sigh. He already knew she wasn't going to do the sensible thing.

Rose just shrugged. "If I did, I wouldn't have met the Doctor." The Doctor grinned at her for that, leading to Rose grinning back. She didn't regret meeting the Doctor.

Rose keeps looking for Wilson, turning on lights and finds boxes and dummies. A door slams behind her and when she tries to open it, it won't

"Typical. How do doors always lock at the most inconvenient times?" Clara shook her head.

"Maybe you should learn to pick locks." The Doctor suggested with a teasing smile.

"And maybe you should put a wood setting on your sonic!" Amy countered.

The Doctor only smiled wider, tilting her head in a vague nod at Amy. "Fair play Pond. But picking locks is fun, very good skill to learn. Jo was very good at it."

"Jo?" Yaz asked, curious at the mention of someone else. She was ignoring the lock picking skill suggestion as a police officer (probationer but still) she couldn't really condone it.

"Jo Grant. Well, Jo Jones now. She travelled with me in my third incarnation mostly. She's likely in UNIT files as we both worked for them at the time. Saw her not that long ago, alongside Sarah Jane." The Doctor smiled - it was a softer smile brought about by fond memories.

She did manage to see a small smile on the Master's face at hearing Jo's name but he quickly schooled his expression into a blank look. She knew he'd had a soft spot for Jo, she was probably the only one of her companions he had ever liked. They had spent some time to go on several occasions when he used her as bait for the Doctor. She still wasn't quite sure what the pair had discussed during those occasions.

There's more noises behind her as she calls out to whoever it is. A shop dummy watches her then sneaks closer

"Wait is that dummy moving?" Graham asked incredulous.

"Unfortunately." The Doctor and Rose said at the same time before turning to grin at each other. A few people around the room had a good suspicion of what was coming but they didn't voice their suspicions, letting it be a mystery for the rest of the room. It was more fun that way.

Rose isn't amused by the joke as more dummies start moving, she asks if its Derek

"What did Derek do for you to think it was him?" Martha asked, a mix between disbelieving and curious. She was enjoying the episode so far; she'd gotten over the Doctor a while ago and was happy with Mickey now. She was very excited to see a young Mickey and fairly curious to see why Rose had meant so much to the Doctor.

Rose shrugged. "He was just the troublemaker of the shop staff. It's not like I was going to just assume the answer was aliens. That would be crazy."

"I think at this point we're all crazy." Clara pointed out.

"True."

Mor dummies start moving as Rose backs away, the lead dummy raises its arm as they back her into a wall. Then a hand grabs Rose's wrist and 9 appears, saying run

"Of course, that's the first word you say to her. It's one of your favourite words." River shook her head, fond exasperation clear in her voice. The Doctor just grinned at her before grinning at Rose. She was very happy for the change of pace in episodes, and the chance to see a young Rose and Mickey.

"Wait that's you?" Bill exclaimed, leaning forward in her seat to analyse the Doctor on screen. Many of the people in the room were doing the same thing. (Even the Master although he was doing it more subtly, this wasn't a Doctor he had really encountered).

"Yep, my ninth incarnation. Well, tenth technically but the ninth one to call themselves Doctor." The Doctor explained with a furrow in her eyebrows. This was getting confusing. Then she paused, there was something else she should probably clarify. "He's just out of the Time War." She added softly but the room could still hear it.

That dampened their spirits slightly. At that point the Doctor had just thought they'd killed their own species and were alone in the universe. Even if they hadn't, they had still just survived a massive war, it was bound to leave an impression.

"I see why everyone called him Ears." Bill attempted to joke and ease the tension. It worked.

"Oi!" The Doctor protested while the rest of the group burst out laughing.

9 leads Rose through the basement as the Autons (shop dummies) chase. They escape int the lift as 9 pulls off the arm of the lead Auton before the doors close

"Good you're out of immediate danger." Rory nodded happily.

Amy just grinned. "Yeah, but now it's time for questions that he's not going to answer leaving her even more confused." That drew grins and chuckles from the group while the Doctor spluttered offended. She didn't do that. Did she?

In the lift, Rose is shocked that 9 pulled off its arm. She asks if its students pulling a prank

"Love how that's your first thought." Clara grinned. She knew all too well what teens could get up too.

Rose chuckled. "Yeah, was trying to think logical. Wasn't exactly going to go – 'oh look it's living plastic. Aliens!'" That drew laughter from the rest of the companions. That was true, their first thought usually wasn't aliens (at least non-ironically) before travelling with the Doctor.

9 asks why it would be students, Rose doesn't know

"Is this really the time to be discussing that?" Graham asked.

The Doctor shrugged, her lips twitching but she managed to control her urge to grin. "Seemed important at the time."

Rose decides they're students because they're pulling a prank, 9 congratulates her then tells her they aren't students

That gained laughter from the room. Rose was laughing especially hard, it was weird seeing everything from this angle, especially knowing what she knew now. Jack was grinning happily, enjoying the chance to see his first Doctor again, he liked the Doctor in any incarnation but the first one he met was always going to have a special place in his heart. He had the feeling that was true for all her companions.

Rose decides that when Wilson finds them he'll call the police, 9 informs her Wilson is dead

The mood plummeted. All the cheer gone with the sudden announcement of Wilson's death. Things hadn't been looking good when he hadn't answered but they hadn't really lingered on that thought or expected the Doctor to be so blunt. They looked down for a minute, a small moment for another person dead.

"Don't have to be so blunt about it, Spaceman. Honestly, do you ever learn manners?" Donna shook her head. The Doctor just smiled sadly; she was never particularly good with things like manners. For a Doctor she had a terrible bedside manner.

Rose doesn't appreciate the joke and has had enough of all this

Rose buried her head in her hands. God it was embarrassing seeing herself that young and clueless sometimes. She was sure she was going to become embarrassed several times across these videos, well at least Mickey would also have to suffer in this video.

"That's fair. The Doctor isn't explaining anything as usual and you've just been attacked." Rory pointed out, gaining a smile from Rose. Her first meeting with the Doctor had been a rollercoaster of emotions, actually most time with the Doctor was a rollercoaster of emotions.

9 sonics the lift as they get out and Rose asks who he is and what they are. The Doctor tells her they're creatures made of living plastic controlled by a relay device on the roof. He has a small bomb to deal with that problem. He tells her to go home and not tell anyone about this (or she'll get them killed) and he's going to go blow it up and might die in the process

"Okay. Two questions. One: Living plastic, really? Second: Bomb? You hate weapons." Clara held up two fingers, to emphasise her point. The whole room was looking at the Doctor with mixed emotions.

The Doctor shrugged, expression blank. "One – yes, living plastic really. They're called Autons and I've dealt with them several times before and since then." She took a deep breath. "Two – this was only about a week at most since the end of the Time War. I wasn't in a good mindset."

Silence reigned in the room for several minutes. Everyone absorbing what the Doctor had said. It was really hitting Rose the change the Doctor had undergone from their first meeting to the last time she had seen him, and not just the physical change of regeneration.

Amy broke the silence. "I have a third question." The Doctor looked at her expectantly, preparing to answer another difficult question. "Beans on toast, really?"

That shocked a small smile out of the Doctor. "Well, I don't know what you all eat." She knew exactly what Amy was thinking about – their own first meeting when she was a little kid and he (at the time) had been eating all her food.

He shuts the door then opens it again, introducing himself as the Doctor and ask her name, which she tells him is Rose

DOCTOR: Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!

"At least you were nice enough to introduce yourself after that mess." Martha said, voice clearly full of sarcasm. The Doctor just grinned at Martha and Rose who both rolled their eyes at her.

On the street she runs across the road just in time to see Hendrik's explode, she runs past a police telephone box parked in an alley nearby

"Brilliant explosion." Jack whistled, watching the screen eagerly. The Doctor just rolled her eyes at him.

Rose had perked up at seeing herself on screen run past the Tardis, she hadn't paid any attention to it at the time. The rest of the room grinned at seeing the Tardis.

Back at her flat, the explosion is on the news. Rose's mother, Jackie, is on the phone gossiping about it as Mickey arrives

The Doctor laughed at hearing Jackie on the phone, it was just all so typical of her. Rose just groaned embarrassed while Mickey chuckled, he'd missed Jackie.

"Well done, Doctor. You made the news!" Jack nudged her, causing her to nudge him back harder. He just grinned at her.

Mickey is worried as Rose hadn't been answering her phone, she reassures him she's fine. He asks what happened but she claims she doesn't know

Mickey snorted. "Oh no, you didn't know anything." The Doctor and Rose just grinned wildly at him. "Glad I've finally seen what happened exactly." The rest of the room were watching the interaction both on and off screen eagerly.

She claims she wasn't in the shop and didn't see anything

"Absolutely nothing." Jack teased. Rose just rolled her eyes at him.

Jackie offers an interview with someone from the Mirror, Rose takes the phone and hangs up

That gains laughter from the whole room.

Jackie tells her she needs to find a way to make money now that her job is gone, then Jackie is back gossiping on the phone about how close to death Rose had been

"No offense, but your mum is very … eh." Bill trailed off unsure how to end her sentence.

"Bloody dramatic? Crazy? Over the top? Yeah, I know. She's still like that, not even jumping universes changes her." Rose just smiled.

Mickey tries to convince Rose to go to the pub with him as he wants to see the match, even as he tries to pretend its for her benefit. Rose isn't having it, knowing he just wants to see the end of the match

The room laughed at that while Mickey ducked his head a bit sheepish. Martha turned to Rose with a smile. "He still does that." That just made Rose laugh even harder.

"Nice to know not everything changes." She grinned back at Martha. Mickey had the sudden fear of the pair teaming up against him.

Rose encourages him to go, saying she's fine. She brought the Auton's arm home

"Wait, you brought the arm home?" Ryan asked incredulous.

Rose nodded. "Didn't realise until I got home. It was not a good idea looking back." That statement was very worrying to most of the room.

Mickey pretend to be strangled by the arm then leaves, taking the arm and throwing it in a bin

The Doctor looked up at the screen, realisation hitting her after all these years. "That's why-?" She asked Rose.

Rose nodded while the rest of the room looked on confused.

The news talks about the fire - fifteen fire crews in attendance and little chance of saving the building

"Seriously impressive fire. Where did you get the bomb, Sweetie? Just asking for a friend." The look the Doctor gave River let her know how little she believed that. Jack was grinning on her other side; he'd been having the same thought.

The next morning Rose's alarm goes off but she doesn't have anywhere to go

"A lie in sounds nice." Nardole sighed. He was mostly ignored as normal.

Jackie and Rose discuss potential jobs, Jackie goes on about claiming compensation for her ordeal

Jackie's comments drew more chuckles from the group while Rose just shook her head at her mother on screen.

Something rattles at the door and Rose complains about Jackie not tailing the cat flap done, but Jackie claims she did. The screws for the cat flap are on the floor

"I think you owe your mum an apology." Mickey teased. He was a lot less worried than the rest of the room, as he knew what had actually happened. Rose just stuck her tongue out at him.

Then the flap moves. Rose opens it to find its the Doctor trying to look through. She opens the door

"Really, Martian?!" Donna raise her eyebrow. The Doctor just shrugged. She was not getting into another fight about the Martian comment. Donna was never likely to stop.

The Doctor asks why's she here, Rose answers she lives there, and the Doctor asks why she does that

"You're an idiot." Clara declared bluntly. The rest of the room was just staring at the Doctor incredulous.

The Doctor smiled. "Yep."

9 claims he must have the wrong signal as she's not plastic, calls her a bonehead and then goes to leave

"Rude." Amy berated the Doctor but it was ruined by a smile. The rest of the room was also smiling at the very typical Doctor behaviour.

Rose pulls him inside and tells Jackie he's part of the inquiry when her mother asks

"Nice lie." River nodded approvingly.

Jackie flirts with the Doctor and he shuts it down quickly

The room burst out laughing. The Doctor, Mickey and Jack who knew Jackie were laughing especially hard. Rose had buried her head in her hands to hide her red cheeks.

"Did she really try to flirt with you?" Rose groaned, deeply embarrassed. The Doctor just laughed more; it was very funny looking back.

Rose makes coffee for them as she tells him they should go to the police. 9 isn't paying any attention, instead flicking through a book

Rose glared at the Doctor. "Were you seriously not paying any attention to me?"

"Sorry." The Doctor offered slightly sheepish, but it was ruined by the smile and insincere tone.

"You get used to it." The Master announced form his corner where most of the room had been ignoring him. They spared a couple of cautious glances at him before turning back to the screen unsure what to say.

Rose keeps talking as 9 continues to be distracted. The Doctor sees his reflection and inspects it, as if seeing it for the first time

The room looked at their current Doctor. "Did you not know what you looked like?" Martha asked.

The Doctor shook her head, frowning slightly. "No, hadn't had a chance to look. I regenerated and then found the Autons trail almost straight after." That dampened the cheerful mood slightly. It was never a nice reminder that the Doctor had just survived the Time War.

9 accepts it, saying it could have been worse but commenting on the ears

"Hah! So, you admit it!" Rose pointed out triumphantly, the Doctor just smiled shaking her head fondly.

Rose continues talking, as 9 messes with a pack of cards and sends them flying everywhere

The room looked at the Doctor with the same expression of 'Really?' She shrugged, turns out she didn't have any talent with cards in that face. Rose just rolled her eyes, seeing the Doctor not pay any attention to her on screen. She'd been far too distracted trying to get answers and here the Doctor was messing about. Typical.

Rose wants an explanation, the cat flap rattles

The group glance worriedly at the screen, they hadn't quite forgotten the issue of the Autons despite their enjoyment of watching the Doctor and Rose on screen.

9 asks if she has a cat, they don't. The Auton arm grabs the Doctor by the throat

The exchange between the Doctor and Rose about the arm earlier suddenly made a lot more sense. Rose felt a bit guilty for not noticing or believing the Doctor to begin with but was reassured by the fact she knew what happened. Mickey was very glad the arm hadn't decided to try and do the same to him.

Rose is oblivious to everything, coming in from the kitchen with mugs of coffee. 9 is being strangled but she takes no notice

The room glanced between Rose and then back to the screen, then back to Rose. She was looking a bit sheepish, offering a small apologetic look to the Doctor who just smiled. She understood. The rest of the group forgo asking questions in favour of finding out what happened.

Rose says she told Mickey to chuck it out, and thinks 9 is joking around. She asks his name - Doctor, what was it?

"Ah the famous question that she is never going to answer." Clara grinned at hearing the familiar sentiment. They all asked the Doctor's name and they were never going to get an answer. The Doctor just smiled mysteriously in response while both River and the Master looked smug – both of them knew the Doctor's name.

9 manages to throw off the arm, it grabs Rose's face instead. 9 pulls at it until it falls on top of him as he smashes the coffee table. They finally get it off and he uses the sonic to stop it moving. Jackie is oblivious in another room

"Is it a Tyler family thing to not notice trouble?" The Doctor teased Rose at seeing her mother oblivious to them fighting with the arm.

"You can't say anything Misses." Rose countered.

9 makes a pun about the arm being armless, Rose isn't impressed and hits him with it

"Nice one Rose." River grinned. The rest of the group was laughing at the interaction while the Doctor pouted slightly in her seat.

9 goes to leave despite Rose's protests that he can't just leave like that

"Honestly Doctor. Stop confusing her and actually try answering some questions for once in your life." Amy complained.

The Doctor tilted her head to the side as if she was weighing the merits of that suggestion. "Let's see … Nah."

Rose declares he has to tell her what was going on, 9 decides he doesn't

"This is seriously how you two met?" Bill asked disbelieving.

The two shared a glace. "Yep. Like I said I wasn't in a very good mindset and I was not looking for someone to travel with me. I just wanted to deal with the Autons and move onto the next patch of danger." The Doctor explained.

She definitely hadn't been looking for a companion but Rose had changed his mind, and he was glad for that. She smiled at Rose – a mix of a thank you and apology for her attitude. Rose just smiled back, understanding clear in her gaze.

Outside the flats, Rose says she'll call the police and tell everyone. She is trying to sound tough but it doesn't work

"I don't think the police would believe you." Clara pointed out.

Mickey frowned. "They wouldn't." Rose and the Doctor winced at the reminder of how much time they had missed and the trouble it had caused Mickey. Rose mouthed an apology to him and he just smiled back, he'd forgiven them a while ago.

She asks who he is, he tells her the Doctor. They go in circles for a while

"You realise you weren't actually answering my questions?" Rose said.

"Yes, I was." The Doctor argued.

"Not to normal people's standards." Rose countered. The Doctor held up her hands in mock surrender, smiling.

Rose asks if it is meant to sound impressive

The Doctor crinkled her eyebrows at that. It wasn't supposed to be impressive it was just who she was. At the time she really hadn't wanted to try and explain the full story or anything really.

Rose asks if he is the police

"You thought he was police?" Yaz asked disbelieving.

Rose shrugged. "Again, wasn't exactly going to go straight to the alien thing. He had a bomb and was investigating stuff I just figured he was with law enforcement. Didn't really know what to think."

The Doctor tells her he's just passing through, she wants to know why the Autons are after her. 9 tells her they aren't, she just got in the way

"Rude, Spaceman." Donna berated. The Doctor just offered another apologetic smile at Rose who smiled back. It was very weird seeing everything from this point of view.

They were after 9, Rose got in the wat at the shop and almost ruined the plan. The reason its looking for her is beacuse she met him

"What did you do to make the plastic angry at you?" Amy asked.

"The Autons." The Doctor corrected. "I don't know, probably blowing it up didn't help. Plus, it may have remembered the last time I stopped the Autons."

She risked a quick glance at the Master, the last time she'd thought the Autons on Earth he'd been there as well causing chaos as normal. Those were fonder memories of their encounters before everything really spiralled out of control.

Rose tells him he's full of it, which he accepts

"At least you admit it." Martha sighed. The rest of the room was chuckling slightly.

She wants to know who knows about it all, but its just 9 on his own

DOCTOR: Well, who else is there? I mean, you lot, all you do is eat chips, go to bed, and watch telly, while all the time, underneath you, there's a war going on.

"That is absolutely not everything we do." Bill pointed out.

River turned to the Doctor; concern evident on her face. "You do better when you travel with someone."

The Doctor sighed, understanding her wife's concern but not enjoying it. "Like I said, bad mindset. Travelling with someone would have reminded me that I was the Doctor and I wasn't ready to be the Doctor again and forget everything that had happened. I couldn't bear the thought of losing anyone." She explained quietly so only those close by could hear. The rest of the room was trying their best to give the couple some privacy to varying degrees of success.

That made River frown more so she squeezed her hand and continued talking with some false cheer injected into her voice. "It doesn't matter anyway. Rose didn't give me the chance to spiral. I did travel with someone." River didn't look very convinced but let it go for the moment.

Rose asks for him to start at the beginning, how do they kill the living plastic? 9 tells her its controlled by a signal, which if he stops it kills it. He asks if she's alright

"So now you're concerned if she's alright?" Clara asked not unkindly.

"She was taking everything very calmly at that point." The Doctor shrugged.

Rose asks what the bigger plan is, 9 replies they want to overthrow the human race and destroy them, then asks if she believes him

"Don't they always." Rory complained. His statement drew nods of agreement from the rest of the room.

"Why do they always attack the Earth?" Yaz asked the Doctor.

"No idea, maybe they just like Earth." The Doctor suggested, not particularly serious.

Rose claims to not but is still listening, she want to know who she is really

"I don't think you're going to get a straight answer." Ryan muttered. The Doctor never really gave straight answers, especially when it was regarding who she was.

The Doctor gives a speech about the world turning below their feet, and how he can feel it. Then he tells her to forget about him and go home

The room turned to look at the Doctor, a mix of awe and disbelief clear on their faces. It was Rose who finally voiced their thoughts. "Did you really expect me to just forget you after that speech?"

The Doctor shifted in her seat unsure how to answer. "I was hopeful at the time but I'm glad you didn't." That gained her a soft smile from Rose.

Bill smiled as well. "Nice to see you've always been good at speeches." That made the Doctor smile wider, glad for the slight change in topic direction. The rest of the group nodded their agreement, if there was one thing the Doctor was good at (bar running, finding trouble and coming up with weird answers to problems) it was speeches.

9 leaves towards the Tardis with the arm, Rose walks away before hearing a noise and turning back to find the Tardis gone. She arrives at Mickey's flat and Mickey greets her with a kiss

Martha glanced away from the screen upon seeing the pair kiss. She wasn't jealous or anything it was just a bit awkward seeing your husband kiss his ex-girlfriend, even if it was just on a video from years ago. Mickey squeezed her hand in reassurance of his presence, he was finding it very weird himself – seeing himself on screen like that.

Rose wants to use his computer, he agrees as long as she doesn't read his emails

The room turned to Mickey with mischief clear in their eyes. Martha was smirking next to him. "So Mr, what did you not want her to see in your emails?"

"Nothing! I swear." Mickey answered far too quickly. He got many side-eyes and dubious disbelieving looks as the group reluctantly turned back to the screen. Mickey let out a sigh of relief before shooting his giggling wife a small glare which swiftly morphed into a smile at seeing her in such a good mood.

Rose searches online for the Doctor, then living plastic, then Doctor blue box. She finally finds a link about him saying to talk to Clive

"The computer is old." Ryan declared. Yaz and Bill, the other youngest people in the group nodded along.

"It's not that bad. I remember those days." Graham protested, but he did have to admit that computers were much better these days.

The Doctor was distracted looking at Rose incredulous. "Did you actually google me?"

Rose just grinned. "Well, it wasn't called googling back then but yeah. What did you expect me to do?"

"Not that!" The Doctor exclaimed.

Jack was laughing happily next to her. "Already internet famous Doctor and you've only just regenerated." The Doctor just sighed.

Mickey drives Rose to Clive's house concerned about meeting a random guy off the internet, Rose reassures him that Clive has a wife and kids but he's not convinced

The room started laughing at Mickey's determined declaration. Rose finally took pity on him, "Thank you for being worried for me Mickey." He just sighed, but smiled at her. He'd been worried about her after the explosion and hearing about this mysterious man. Things made more sense seeing it like that but still he'd had a right to worry.

Rose knocks on the door as Mickey sits in the car. A small boy opens the door as Rose asks to see Clive, the boy calls back to his das saying its one of his nutters

The room burst out laughing at that. Even Rose and Mickey were grinning, it was definitely funnier looking back like this.

"See even the kids know you're a nutter, Doctor." Jack teased, grinning lazily.

"Oi! The kid was talking about his dad not me!" The Doctor protested. She was drowned out by the group's laughter.

Clive arrives at the door introducing himself, Rose jokingly warns him about Mickey waiting in the car

"At least you made him aware." Mickey sighed. Martha just chuckled.

Clive promises no murder and waves at Mickey

"He seems nice." Rory said.

Rose nodded. "From what I remember he was. Maybe a bit crazy and obsessed but nice enough."

Clive's wife is shocked about a female reading his website

That made the room laugh again. "Loving her disbelief." Amy chuckled.

In Clive's shed he shows her his research and discusses his crazy theories about the title of Doctor being passed from father to son

"You're right, he's crazy and obsessed." Donna nodded.

Clive shows her some photos of the Doctor in the crowd at Kennedy's assassination

"What were you doing there? When did you go?" Rose asked. Those questions had always bugged her but she'd never actually gotten around to asking.

"Just ended up there like I normally do. Mild alien invasion, nothing to worry about really, all dealt with. As for when – remember how I left and came back before you agreed to travel." The Doctor smiled.

"But you were only gone for a second!"

"Time Machine." The Doctor sang proudly. The rest of the group watched on confused.

Rose decides it must be his father

"Nope." Rose just rolled her eyes at that.

More photos, this time of the Daniels family in 1912 who mysteriously cancelled their trip to New York on the Titanic

"What happened to not interfering in history, sweetie?" River asked pointedly.

The Doctor grinned. "They were friends and helped me out with a little problem so I figure I'd do them a favour." River just shook her head in fond exasperation. "Besides you really can't say anything River. You're worse than I am."

Then 1883, a sketch of the Doctor who washed up on the coast of Sumatra after Krakatoa exploded. Clive tells Rose that when the Doctor is around he brings death

The Doctor flinched at that, face automatically going blank which didn't go unnoticed by the group. They immediately burst out into loud complaints, distracting the Doctor from her downward spiral of thoughts. She smiled thankfully at the group.

Outside a wheelie bin on the street moves closer to Mickey's car

"Did that bin just move?" Graham asked worriedly. Mickey grimaced but nodded. He wasn't looking forward to this.

Clive tells Rose if she's seen the Doctor then they're all in danger

"No, it means there is danger but the Doctor is going to sort it out." Rose declared defensively; arms crossed.

Mickey watches the bin, before getting out of the car and lifts up the bin lid

"That's a bad idea." Clara muttered. Mickey just groaned; it had definitely been a stupid decision but like Rose he hadn't really expected aliens to be causing trouble.

Mickey shuts the bin lid but finds him stuck to the plastic, the bin growls and pulls Mickey inside with a burp

"The hell?" Bill exclaimed, expressing the thoughts of most of the room. Martha turned worriedly to her husband who offered a reassuring smile.

Clive shares his final theory that all the Doctor are the same man - an immortal man, an alien from another world

"Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner." The Master declared, waving a hand from his corner in a false uncaring attitude. She shot a glare at him before turning back to the screen, decisively ignoring him.

"Well, he's not wrong." Nardole muttered.

Rose returns to the car where a plastic Mickey sits waiting. Rose declares Clive crazy but remains oblivious to Mickey not being Mickey as they drive off

The room was mixed between laughing and weird disbelief at the Plastic Mickey.

"Did you really not notice that wasn't me?" Mikey asked a bit hurt.

"I'm so sorry Mickey. I was so focussed on the whole mess with the Doctor and just wasn't paying any attention. That's my fault and I'm sorry." Rose tried to explain, offering a sincere apology, something she should have done a while ago if she was being honest with herself.

"Thanks Rose, I really appreciate that. And for the record I get it. Seeing the video, I get why you were so obsessed better now." Mickey smiled softly at Rose who smiled back. There was a reason they had been friends, they'd grown up together but so much had happened between them, plus getting stuck in separate dimensions didn't help. Maybe this would give them a chance to get back to how they were before everything, back to being good friends.

At a pizza restaurant Rose and Mickey are talking, Rose still oblivious to Mickey as she complains about her life choices. Fake Mickey wants to talk about the Doctor but Rose wants to focus on herself

"This is so embarrassing. God, I'm sorry Mickey." Rose groaned while the rest of the room was stuck between chuckling and disbelief. Mickey just grinned.

Fake Mickey continued to ask questions about the Doctor

"The plastic was really focussed on you, Doctor." Bill nodded.

"Autons, Bill. Autons not plastic." Everyone ignored her.

Rose thinks the Doctor is dangerous. Fake Mickey kind of glitches as he wants answers

"That's more than a little freaky." Martha said with a disgusted look on her face, Rose chuckled but nodded in agreement. Mickey shook his head at the pair of them but privately agreed, it was incredibly freaky to see.

A waiter arrives with champagne that they didn't order. Fake Mickey demands to know where the Doctor is as the waiter insists in the champagne. They look up to find the waiter is the Doctor

"And there you are. Right on time." Jack grinned, happy to see the Doctor come to Rose's rescue. The rest of the group was grinning too.

The Doctor shakes the bottle and sends the cork into plastic Mickey's forehead, after a second he spits it out

"That's disturbing." Clara made a face that showed exactly what she was thinking. The rest of the group seemed to agree based on their expressions. It made the Doctor laugh, their weird contortion of faces.

Plastic Mickey gets up and turns his hand into a chopper, Rose flees as Mickey attacks. 9 grabs the Auton and pulls of its head as the other customers scream

"Was your answer to that seriously to just pull his head off?" Jack asked, shaking his head at the Doctor who just grinned unrepentant.

"It worked."

That doesn't stop fake Mickey, Rose sets off the fire alarm

"Because things couldn't get more disturbing." Bill grimaced.

"Good idea with the fire alarm." Martha smile at Rose who grinned back.

She shouts for everyone to get out, Rose ad 9 run through the kitchens with the head as the body wrecks the restaurant before following

"Why are you taking the head with you?" Yaz asked.

"Just watch."

Outside the restaurant, 9 seals the exit and they find themselves in a dead end alley with the Tardis. Rose wants 9 to open the locked gate at the end of the alley calling his sonic a tube thing

"'Tube thing', that's brilliant." Amy cackled.

9 is very casual and says nah, suggesting they go into the Tardis instead as Rose panics and the Auton hammers on the door

Rose just groaned, shooting a vague glare at the Doctor. "You could have just told me." The rest of the room was chuckling at the screen.

"Nah, more fun this way." The Doctor grinned, Rose just glared more, not really meaning it though.

Rose runs around the Tardis before the Auton smashes the door and she makes up her mind, running into the Tardis

Rose's reaction to seeing the Tardis for the first time made the whole room laugh (and the Master mutter some unkind comment about primitive species but he was ignored). Even Rose chuckled at seeing her first reaction, it was definitely entertaining to watch.

"See told you. Very entertaining." The Doctor grinned.

Rose is still concerned they'll be followed, 9 reassures her the hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get in then tells her to shut up

"You really need to stop encouraging people to try and attack the Tardis, Sweetie." River scolded the Doctor.

"You really can't say anything River." The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "If anything, you're worse than me. Do I need to bring up Hydroflax again?"

"Once again, Sweetie. I married the diamond." River argued, but her grin revealed she wasn't particularly annoyed. The Doctor just rolled her eyes, but still smiled at her wife.

We get a view of 9's Tardis

The group gaped at the old Tardis, doing what they always did when they saw a new version of the Tardis – comparing it to their own. Jack and Rose were grinning, happy to see their original Tardis and original Doctor. They had so many fond memories of both, it was nice to see them again even just on screen.

9 is going to use the Auton head to track it back to the original source

"Glad you've finally explained that." Rory muttered. A few others nodded along, happy for one question to be answered at least.

Rose realises the inside is bigger than the outside, and asks if it and he are alien. 9 confirms they are and asks if that's alright, Rose says yeah surprisingly calm (most likely the shock)

"Love how calm you are about this." Yaz smiled.

"Thanks, you weren't too bad yourself." Rose smiled back.

The Doctor explains they're in the Tardis and what it stands for, then Rose breaks into tears

The room whipped around to face Rose who blinked. She'd kinda forgotten she's broken out into tears.

"Are you okay cockle?" Graham asked, all grandfatherly concerned.

"Yeah, I'd forgotten about that. Everything just caught up with me and I was worried about Mickey but I'm good now. Thanks for the concern though." Rose answered, biting her lip.

"Just as long as you're alright now, love."

9 decides its culture shock but Rose is concerned about Mickey, and asks if they killed him

Mickey smiled softly at Rose, glad to see despite all the drama she was genuinely worried about him. She offered a smile back.

The Doctor hadn't thought about that

"Doctor!" Was shouted by several people across the room. She held out her hands in mock surrender.

"Sorry! To be fair, I hadn't actually met him and was focused on the Autons trying to invade Earth." The Doctor tried to protest; the room just shook their heads at her before focusing back on the screen.

The plastic head melts on the console as Rose berates 9 for not thinking about Mickey

"I was wrong, things can get more disturbing." Bill grimaced again, while the room watched in horrified fascination as Plastic Mickey melted.

The Doctor sets the Tardis off to try and follow the signal before it fades. They land and 9 goes for the door but Rose tells him he can't go out as it isn't safe

The room looked confused before realisation slowly set in. "Right, he didn't actually explain what the Tardis can do." Martha said, shaking her head again at the Doctor who just grinned sheepishly.

Jack grinned, "You're about to get a surprise."

They arrive at Westminster, they lost the signal but got close. Rose is shocked that they moved asking it it flies. 9 explains they disappear and reappear but she wouldn't understand

The group rolled their eyes at the Doctor, he was so focused on the Autons and not paying any attention to Rose's questions. Rose just shook her head, he was always insulting other species, and honestly it was true. Only River, the Master and the Doctor had any clue how to fly the Tardis. Well Jack knew some stuff, more than most at least.

Rose asks about the body, 9 explains it would have melted with the head and asks if she's going to keep wittering

"Honestly, Spaceman. Be nice, it's not like you're actually explaining anything." Donna complained, gaining a sheepish look from the Doctor. It seemed she'd always been a bit rude and socially awkward, that didn't appear to change between bodies.

Rose is still focused on Mickey, 9 calls him a kid, and Rose argues he isn't a kid

"Sorry Rose." The Doctor sighed; she'd definitely been more than a bit rude. "And Mickey." She added quickly.

"I'm still a bit mad about Mickey, but I was wrong. We were both definitely both still kids, it makes me feel old just to say that." Rose sighed, it was weird seeing herself complain about not being a kid (well, Mickey not being a kid but still) especially now she was older and had seen so much more than she had ever thought she would.

"Everyone seems like a kid to me sometimes. But I still should have been a bit nicer seeing as I dragged you into it all." The Doctor said. She glanced at Bill who was offering a small smile to let her know she was thinking exactly what she was. Their time in Scotland looking for the Lost Legion had shown that card – almost everyone was a kid to an ancient time travelling alien.

9 says its because he's trying to save everyone on the planet (fairly insultingly)

"Oi, we're not apes!" Donna complained.

"Yes, you are." The Doctor and Master countered in sync before realising they had done so and turned to glare at each other. They turned quickly away, back to the screen instead.

Rose asks if he's an alien why does he sound like he's from the North, 9 mentions lots of planets have a north

"You sound like you are from the North again this face. It's nice." Rose realised, grinning. She'd loved her first Doctor's accent (not that she didn't like her second Doctor's accent but there was just something comforting about her first Doctor's northern drawl).

The Doctor grinned. "Regeneration lottery."

Then she asks about the police public call box and he explains its a disguise

"Not a very good one." Amy snorted.

"I like it and so does the Tardis." The Doctor pouted.

Then she wants to know what the Autons have against them. 9 says, nothing, Earth has plenty of food for the Nestene Consciousness

"That's not reassuring in anyway, you realise that right?" Clara asked, looking like she was already resigned to the answer. The Doctor just shrugged; it hadn't been meant as a reassurance just a fact.

Graham, Ryan and Yaz shared a glance. "This anything like that Praxeus stuff, Doc?" Graham finally asked.

"Completely unrelated, don't worry Graham. Well, apart from the loving plastic thing but both have been dealt with anyway." The Doctor tried to reassure her current companions who looked unnerved by the reminder of Praxeus.

"Praxeus?" Martha asked concerned.

"Trust us, you don't want to know." Ryan declared which seemed like enough of an answer for the rest of the group who turned back to the screen.

9 has the way to stop it - a tube of anti-plastic

"Anti-Plastic? Really?" Rory asked in disbelief.

"Yep!" The Doctor answered cheerfully, very proud of herself (even though it hadn't quite worked according to plan).

First they need to find the transmitter though, the Nestene need a transmitter to boost the signal to control every piece of plastic. 9 explains it would look like a huge circular metal structure like a wheel close to them in the middle of London, but can't find it (Rose has)

The group started chuckling at the Doctor's complete obliviousness. Jack started nudging the Doctor teasingly as he laughed while the Doctor just smiled, unable to hide her red cheeks.

Rose looks at the London Eye but 9 doesn't catch on for a moment, before realising and saying fantastic

"Fantastic? Is that what you said in that face?" Amy asked, still grinning at her obliviousness. At seeing the Doctor's answering nod, she continued. "Better than Geronimo."

"Or Allons-y." Martha added. The Doctor just pouted at all the teasing; she knew her companions getting together would just lead to her embarrassment.

Rose ad 9 run across Westminster Bridge as 9 talks about all the plastic in the world that could come alive, the first thing Rose thinks about is breast implants

"Is that really what you thought of first?" Mickey laughed, while Rose just shrugged blushing a bit.

"Love your thinking, Rosie." Jack laughed happily, clapping his hands.

"Don't call me Rosie, Jack."

"Sure thing, Rosie."

They reach the transmitter and use a manhole to get below it to the Consciousness, the hatch has red light inside

"Of course, you're going underground, things can never be nice to us." Rory complained.

Donna had glanced at the Doctor, remembering her own experience underneath the Thames. The Doctor noticed her glances and seemed to connect her thinking after a minute. She shot Donna a questioning glance which Donna just replied with a (slightly) shaky smile. That Christmas Day under the Thames had certainly left an impression in so many ways.

They enter a multi-level chamber. Inside a vat is the Nestene Consciousness. Rose wants him to put in the anti-plastic and leave but 9 says he isn't there to kill it, he needs to give it a chance

"Sweetie-."

"No River."

"Not everything wants a chance Doctor. Not everything deserves a chance." River continued, ignoring her wife.

"I've got to try River. Especially back then, after what I thought I'd done. After what I had done. I have to try." The Doctor said softly, earning a sad but understanding look from her wife. They could have that argument another time.

9 declares that he seeks a peaceful audience according to the Shadow Proclamation

"You're referencing the Shadow Proclamation. I'm pretty sure you break it every week." Jack laughed. The Doctor just grinned and shrugged.

The stuff in the vat flexes and answers apparently, 9 asks permission to approach

"You can understand it?" Bill asked confused.

"I speak a lot of language. You pick them up when you travel as long as I do." The Doctor grinned. It had definitely come in handy a lot through her travels.

Rose spots Mickey and runs to meet him, Mickey is fine if not very confused and scared

"Glad to see you're alright and not plastic." Martha smiled at her husband.

He grinned back. "So am I."

Rose shouts to 9 that they kept Mickey alive to which he isn't surprised having suspected that, Rose isn't happy about that

"Doctor!"

9 talks to the Consciousness telling them to get off the planet (in less polite words)

"Ah, my favourite kind of diplomacy." Jack grinned, hand to his heart while the Doctor just rolled her eyes at him.

The Consciousness argues but 9 is having none of it, its definitely an invasion. Dummies grab the Doctor and the anti-plastic falls from his pocket

"And as usual your attempts at diplomacy doesn't work and the alien is going to continue their plans of world domination." Amy declared with an exasperated sigh.

9 rushes to explain the anti-plastic was just insurance. A door slides back to reveal the Tardis

DOCTOR: No. Oh, no. Honestly, no. Yes, that's my ship. That's not true. I should know, I was there. I fought in the war. It wasn't my fault. I couldn't save your world! I couldn't save any of them!

The Doctor flinched at the reminder of the Time War, which didn't go unnoticed by anyone. River pulled her wide closer to her, squeezing her hand to help ground her back in the present. The Doctor offered her a shaky thankful smile, it had been a bad time back then but Rose, and then Jack and the rest of her companions had helped.

9 warns Rose to run as it is starting the invasion

"That's not good."

Rose phones her mum

Martha grimaced. "You're trying to warn your mum." It was a statement not a question but Rose nodded anyway, glad someone understood.

Jackie is in town, Rose warns her to go home immediately

"I don't think she's going to believe you if you tried to explain." Clara pointed out.

Rose just shrugged. "I had to try and warn her at least."

"No, I get that." Clara acquiesced.

Jackie ignore her as the call is breaking up. The Consciousness starts transmitting the activation signal as Rose declares it s the end of the world

"Bit dramatic." The Doctor smiled.

"Yeah, was a bit premature on that one. The world has almost ended several times since then." Rose grinned.

"And before then. Yet you're all still here spinning away happily on this planet." The Doctor chuckled.

Clive is out shopping with his family when the Auton's come alive, they shoot Clive

The room paused, looking down for a moment of silence for Clive. Rose was frowning, she'd never known that Clive had been killed by the Autons.

Back underground, 9 shouts at Rose to run but the stairs are gone

"Fair point against the running plan." Yaz nodded, she was a bit nervous about the trouble the group were in onscreen but they seemed very blasé about the whole thing and were here safe so clearly, they had escaped unharmed.

The Autons try and push 9 int the vat as Rose and Mickey run to the Tardis but they don't have the key, Mickey is panicking about dying

Mickey groaned, hiding his face in his hands. He'd been very young, looking back, and had matured a lot since then. His start with the Doctor may have been very rough but it had given him opportunities he probably never would have had otherwise. His experiences had helped him grow more confident, plus it had given him a job he enjoyed and a wife he loved.

Back in town, Autons start attacking people including Jackie who hides

The group watched worriedly at all the chaos unfolding but as Mickey, Rose and the Doctor seemed mostly unconcerned they assumed everything had gone mostly okay.

The Nestene identify 9 as a Time Lord. Rose runs around the chamber towards the Doctor as Mickey shouts to leave him

"Oh, thanks Mickey." The Doctor said, teasing clear in her voice.

"No worries. Always glad to help." Mickey answered back, voice soaked in sarcasm. They had long since gotten over their troubles from back then. The pair shared a grin while Rose sighed, rolling her eyes at their antics.

Rose grabs an axe as she declares she may not have A levels or a job but she does have gymnastics medals

The room let out a cheer, happy to see Rose save the day while the boys were occupied. Rose grinned, proud of herself. It was weird to compare her situation now to her situation back then – everything had changed so much, but she loved her life and didn't regret her decision to travel with the Doctor.

Rose chops a rope and uses a long chain to swing round the catwalk, kicking a few Autons into the vat also dropping the anti-plastic into it. The Nestene scream and turns from gold to blue

The group grinned, happy to see the Autons dealt with so easily (comparatively to normal). It was nice when things were resolved quickly and easy, nice but unfortunately rare.

9 grabs her as she swings back, explosions start as the signal stops and all the attacking Autons collapse. 9 and Rose run to Mickey at the Tardis, they all go in and it dematerialises

"Good, you're all safe." Martha smiled at the group.

Rose and the Doctor shared a glance that made Mickey instantly nervous. "Wait till you see Mickey's reaction to the Tardis." Rose grinned, aiming her comment mostly at Martha who grinned back excitedly while Mickey groaned, he'd been right to be nervous.

The Tardis rematerializes elsewhere and Mickey runs out terrified

The group burst out laughing while Mickey tried to hide his face in his wife's shoulder, but she was laughing so much she was shaking, making hiding very difficult.

Jackie phones Rose to warn her it isn't safe and to not leave the house, but Rose doesn't answer

Rose frowned, no wonder she had worried her mum so much after that. Disappearing for a year had been bad by itself but disappearing for a year after the chaos in London and not answering the phone – well that really wasn't good.

Rose goes over to Mickey as 9 stays by the Tardis. Rose declares 9 useless, and he'd be dead without her

"Thank you, Rose." The Doctor smiled earnestly; she couldn't remember if she had actually thanked her back then but it wouldn't' hurt to do it twice. Rose just smiled back softly.

9 agrees and thanks her, before offering that she could come with him as the Tardis travels anywhere in the universe. Mickey tells her to not as he's an alien, a thing

"Rude, Rickey." The Doctor teased, ignoring Rose who looked like she wanted to face palm.

"Sorry Doctor, I wasn't particularly nice." Mickey admitted with a wince at seeing himself on screen. No wonder he and the Doctor hadn't gotten on well to start with, well alongside the kidnapping Rose for a year.

"It's okay, I wasn't particularly nice to you to start with either." The Doctor shrugged.

9 makes it clear Mickey isn't invited. Rose asks if it is dangerous, 9 answers it is, and Rose refuses saying she has to find her mum and look after Mickey

"You said no?" Martha asked, she'd never realised that Rose had initially said no. From the rest of the group's expressions, they also hadn't been expecting that.

Donna grinned. "Glad to know I wasn't the only one that said no to this idiot the first time."

"You said no as well?" Rose asked Donna.

"Yep, but I ended up running into him again and deciding to give it ago after some begging." Donna shrugged.

"Hang on! There was no begging. I distinctively remember you chasing me down and asking to come!" The Doctor complained. Rose and Donna just turned identical grins on her which made her pout, she was feeling teamed up on.

The Doctor conceded and the Tardis dematerialises

"How long was it for you?" Rose asked curious, she knew she had mentioned it had been longer for her earlier and she was curious now.

"Maybe a week or two, I can't quite remember." The Doctor shrugged. Rose shook her head; time travel was still so weird sometimes.

"I'm glad you came back." Rose simply said.

"So am I." The Doctor smiled softly.

Rose goes to leave but the Tardis returns
DOCTOR: By the way, did I mention it also travels in time?
ROSE: Thanks.
MICKEY: Thanks for what?
ROSE: Exactly.
(Rose kisses Mickey on the cheek and runs into the Tardis.)

"That's what got you?" Amy asked, shaking her head. (She was ignoring the fact that the time travel part had gotten her too – the Doctor had still been late for her twice).

Rose smiled. "I think I regretted saying no as soon as he left, so I'm glad he came back." She explained. Then she turned to Mickey. "Sorry for leaving with no explanation though, Mickey." Mickey just smiled offering a nod, that was water under the bridge.

The Doctor clapped her hands, gaining the attention of the room. "Well, that's that. What's up next?"
