          𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐃. He then looked up at the two Tyler sisters, "It's nothing for you two to worry about. It's alright, I've stopped it. There, armless." Rose gave him an exasperated sigh. 

He threw the arm towards Rose, and she caught it in her arms. "You think?" Rose hit him in the arm with causing him to rub his arm and cough out an ouch. 

"Seriously, Doctor. What made that arm move?" Aselia folded her arms over her chest as she glared at him, this was the second time he had put her sister in danger and she wasn't having it. The Doctor looked over at her, gauging her annoyed expression, he sighed. 

"It's called an Auton," The Doctor began, "It's being controlled by something or someone but I don't know just quite who yet." Aselia sighed as she ran her fingers over her face, The Doctor looked at her expression with a frown. 

It was like she wasn't even surprised. 

"Well," He clapped his hands plastering a fake grin on his face. "I better be off." 

The Doctor wrenched open the Tyler's apartment door before leaving. Rose glanced at Aselia before chasing after him, "Hold on a minute, you can't just go swanning off?" She heard Rose call after him. 

 Aselia frowned as she pinched her necklace between her fingers, the orange crystal lit up slightly but Aselia didn't notice. It was almost ten minutes since Rose left when she came back into the apartment. 

Aselia noticed the frown on Rose's face as she sat down on the couch, "Everything alright?" She tilted her head to the side as she sat down beside Rose. Rose sighed as she leaned her head against her shoulder. 

"He said for both of us to forget him," Rose informed her, as she rubbed circles into her sisters hand. "I don't think I can forget about him, Aselia. I don't know about-" Aselia shook her head as she pursed her lips.

"I don't think I can either." 

Rose stood up clicking her tongue, "Are you going to see Tom tonight?" Rose tilted her head to the side, Aselia thought for a moment. She hadn't planned too as she was supposed to be working tonight, but instead Angela told her to stay off with her family. 

"I might," Aselia admitted as she leaned her head against the cool wall behind her. "I don't know, he's being really distant recently." She tapped her fingers anxiously against her leg when a knock on the door pulled them out of their discussion. 

"Did you invite anyone over?" Rose smirked before tilting her head towards the door, Aselia frowned before standing up and walking towards it. Her fingers had barely touched the door handle when it threw itself open. 

"I did not do that," Tom spluttered out as Aselia gave him a sheepish smile. He leaned forward and kissed her cheek lightly. "You look gorgeous, babe." He handed her flowers and Aselia cooed for a moment before frowning. 

"I'm wearing a pair of joggers and a t-shirt." She speaks with confusion laced in her voice. 

"Sweetheart, you could be wearing a paper bag and I'd still think you're gorgeous," He retorted, and Aselia tucked her hair behind her ear as she looked at the floor. "Hey Rose." He nodded towards the other Tyler sister. 

"Keep her safe, will ya?" Rose taunted and Tom nodded lightly. 

Aselia looked between the two of them, frowning and confused. "What's going on?" Tom chuckled lightly, throwing his arm over her shoulder. Rose chuckled lightly at the conflicted look on her sisters face.

"I called Tom earlier, knowing that you hadn't seen him in a while," Rose crossed her arms over her chest. "I ordered him to take you on a date." Tom cocked a brow at Rose with a cocky grin on his face.

"You didn't really order me, I agreed with it." 

Aselia chuckled lightly as she wrestled herself away from her boyfriend, "I'm going to get changed," She pointed at the both of them. "Behave, the both of you." She slipped into her bedroom. 

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Aselia chuckled as Tom told her a story from work, "Did I tell you that you look absolutely gorgeous tonight?" Tom turned to look at her, as he leaned against the barrier. Aselia rolled her eyes as he pulled her closer to him by her jeans loops. 

"Only like a million times," Aselia chuckled lightly as she wrapped her arms around his waist and looking up into his blue irises. "You look handsome tonight as well." He leaned down lightly, breathing softly as he pressed his lips against hers. 

She laced her arm around his neck as she pulled him closer to her. He sighed as he pulled away and caressed her cheek, "I love you, sweetheart." He pressed a silent kiss against her forehead as he kept his arms wrapped around her. 

"I love you too." Aselia buried her head in his chest as he pulled her tighter against his body. 

"Tom!" A female called out and he turned to look over his shoulder, his eyes widening for a moment before he turned around and tucked Aselia behind his back. "Hi." She brushed a brown hair behind her ear. 

"Hi Annabelle," He nodded respectfully, "I thought you were working late tonight." 

"Oh, I was but I managed to get someone to cover my shift," Her eyes darted towards Aselia and cocked a brow confused but smiled lightly. "Who's this?" She questioned lightly, tilting her head to the side to get a better look at her. 

"This is Aselia, my girlfriend." He answered drawling the girlfriend out, as Aselia tapped her fingers against his sides. She felt awkward between these two, partly because of the fact that these two looked to know each other pretty well.

Annabelle faked a smile before nodding at her, "It's nice to meet you." 

"You too," She tugged at Tom's arm before leaning up towards his ear. "Babe. I'm going to head home, you can stay and talk if you wish." She kisses his cheek before he turned to look at her, cupping her cheeks.

"Just hold on for a moment," He drew circles into her cheeks lightly as he gave her a soft smile before turning to look at Annabelle. "Annabelle, I'll see you tomorrow." He nodded at her before wrapping his arm around her shoulders. 

"Who exactly is she?" Aselia questioned as the two got further away from the woman. Aselia looked over her shoulder to see her still lingering where she was standing when they were talking to her. 

"She's just a co-worker." He sighed, rubbing his fingers along her back. She gave him an uneasy smile before continuing the quiet walk back to her apartment. When she noticed Rose and The Doctor leaning against the barrier near the water. 

"Rose? Doctor?!" She called out making the two look over at her. Rose huffed before rushing towards her and Aselia pulled her hand from Tom's hand as Rose launched herself into her sisters arms. 

She was upset and sobbing into her body, "What the hell did you do to her?" She hissed towards The Doctor as he got closer to the three of them. She raked her fingers through her sisters hair gently as she sobbed into her shoulder. 

"Mickey is dead!" 

Aselia looked at The Doctor surprised, "We don't know if he's dead, an Anton was using his body. He could still be alive." He explained as Aselia nipped at her bottom lip, she couldn't disagree with The Doctor's reasoning but at the same time she understood Rose's grief. 

"Shh, Shh. Rose, listen to me," She cupped her sisters cheeks in her hand, pulling her face to look up at her. "The Doctor is right, he could still be alive." She pleaded, rubbing her fingers across her pink cheeks. 

"Uh, who are you?" Tom questioned, tilting his head to the side. 

Aselia almost had forgotten about her boyfriend who was lingering behind him, The Doctor smirked before looking over at him. "I'm The Doctor." Tom narrowed his eyes at him and Aselia cocked a brow. 

"Okay, what has this living plastic got against us?" Rose questioned, tilting her head to the side as Aselia wrapped her arms around Tom's waist. Her head resting against his shoulder as he raked a hand through her hair. 

"Nothing. It loves you. You've got a good planet, lots of smoke and oil," The Doctor began as he tapped the blue box beside him. "Plenty toxins and detoxins, perfect. Just what the Nestene Consciousness needs." 

"Is that what are controlling the Antons?" Aselia questioned softly, her arms still wrapped tightly around Tom's body. The Doctor just nodded in answer to her question as Tom leaned down towards her ear. 

"Antons?" Tom whispered but Aselia just brushed him away. 

"It's a long story." 

"Its food stock was destroyed in the war, its protein planets rotted. So, Earth, dinner." The Doctor joked. Aselia rolled his eyes at the joke, it was partly because he was joking about an alien invasion that could possibly lead to many deaths. 

"Anyway of stopping it?" Rose took the questioned right out of Aselia's mouth.

"Antiplastic." The Doctor pulled out a liquid from his pocket, the liquid was a dark blue and spilling around the edges. 

"Antiplastic?" 

"Antiplastic," The Doctor repeated. "But first, I've got to find it. How can you hide something that big in a city this small." 

"Hide what?" Aselia drawled, cocking a brow as The Doctor turned to look at her. 

"A transmitter. The Consciousness is controlling all plastic, a transmitter boosts the signal." 

"What does it look like?" Rose questioned, tilting her head to the side and The Doctor looked at her astonished. 

"A transmitter! Round and massive in the middle of London," The Doctor began as he walked towards the blue box again. "A huge metal, circular structure, like a dish, like a wheel, radial, close to where were standing, it must be completely invisible." 

"Uh, something like the London Eye?" Tom questioned, tilting his head to the side. 

The Doctor turned around to see the London Eye towering above him, "Fantastic, exactly like that. Good boy, what's your name?" Tom smirked, liking the fact that he had managed to do an up one on The Doctor.

"I'm Tom, Aselia's boyfriend." The Doctor looked at Aselia and she gave him a soft smile. 

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Aselia had managed to tell Tom to go home, and kissed him before he left. "Ready?" The Doctor questioned once he had left, and Aselia nodded before the three of them starting running. The Doctor grabbed Aselia's hand in one and Rose's in the other. 

However, when they got to the stairs it killed Aselia. "I hate stairs." Aselia whined as they continued to run. They got closer to the London Eye and then finally stopped running, finishing just in front of it. 

"Think. Plastic. Everywhere, every artificial thing wanting to be alive," The Doctor began to explain as Aselia bit down onto her bottom lip. "The shop window dummies, phones, wires, cables." 

"Still, we found the transmitter. The Consciousness must be somewhere underneath." Rose ran towards the edge of the lake. Aselia looked up at the London Eye as she frowned, cupping her necklace in her hand. 

"What about down here?!" Rose called out, startling Aselia as she stumbled backwards. The Doctor grabbed her gently to stop her from falling over. She smiled softly at him before rushing over to where Rose was standing. 

"Looks good to me." He answered, before rushing down the stairs. Aselia looked over at Rose before following after him, her feet hitting off of the concrete as The Doctor opened the hatch, a red glow emitting from it. 

Rose looked at Aselia before following after him, "Oh, great. We're following after a man we barely know." Aselia grumbled before swinging herself onto the ladder and following after her sister and The Doctor. 

The Doctor looked at a door before pushing it open lightly, the hot air instantly hitting Aselia's face. "The Nestene Consciousness, that's it, inside the vat, a living plastic creature." The Doctor explained as he leaned over the barrier. 

The Nestene Consciousness moved around in the vat, knocking against the sides of it. "Well, tip in your antiplastic and let's go." Rose ordered, making The Doctor look over at the two of them. Aselia frowned as she tapped her fingers against the metal. 

"I'm not here to kill it," The Doctor began as Aselia frowned. "I've got to give it a chance." 

"A chance? When it's trying to invade the planet?" Aselia cocked a brow, tilting her head to the side as her blonde hair fell over her shoulder. The Doctor looked over her with a frown as she tapped her fingers again. 

"I'm giving it a chance to leave, if not I'll use the antiplastic," The Doctor explained and Aselia just hummed as she sighed. The Doctor rushed down the stairs before stopping at near the bottom. "I seek audience with the Nestene Consciousness under peaceful contract according to Convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation." 

The Nestene Consciousness moved around, like it was talking. "Thank you! If I might have permission to approach." The Doctor questioned. Aselia chuckled, she should've guessed that The Doctor could translate what it said. 

Rose screamed out, "Oh my god!" before running down the steps. The Doctor rolled his eyes as Aselia looked over the barrier to see Mickey near the bottom where the Nestene Consciousness was in the vat. 

"It's her boyfriend, stop acting if running to him is so unreasonable." Aselia hissed towards The Doctor before rushing off towards the bottom where her sister was. She heard him chuckle lightly before running after the two of them. 

"Mickey!" Rose called out to him as she ran towards him, "It's me. It's okay, It's alright." He pressed his finger against his lips to quiet Rose, before pointing towards the Nestene Consciousness. 

"Shh. That thing, down there, The liquid, it can talk!" 

"Oh, your stinking!" Rose complained before looking up at The Doctor and Aselia. "Doctor, they kept him alive." 

"Yes, that was always the possibility; keep him alive to maintain the copy." The Doctor explained making Rose stutter as Aselia glared at The Doctor, cursing him out in her head as she rounded the other side of Mickey. 

"Are you okay?" Aselia questioned softly, rubbing his shoulder. 

Mickey just nodded, "You knew and never said?" Rose accused, glaring at him as her voice went higher. The Doctor looked up at her before scoffing. 

"Can we keep the domestics outside, thank you!" 

He started walking away before Aselia and Rose helped Mickey up onto his feet and started dragging him towards a higher vantage point. "Am I addressing the Consciousness?" The Doctor questioned. 

Aselia's necklace glowed an orange colour as The Doctor talked to the Consciousness, before she noticed it and hid it underneath her shirt. The Consciousness obviously replied, "Thank you. If i might observe, you infiltrated this civilisation by means of warp, shunt technology."

Aselia cocked a brow as The Doctor glowered at the Consciousness. "So, may I suggest, with greatest respect, that you shunt off?" Aselia snorted as she tilted her head to the side. "Oh, don't give me that! It's an invasion, plain and simple. Don't talk about constitutional rights." 

The Consciousness rattled around the Vat it was in, like it was angry with what The Doctor was saying. "I AM TALKING!" The Doctor shouted, making Aselia wince backwards. She hadn't heard shouting like that in a long time. "This planet is just starting. These stupid, little people have just learnt how to walk."

"Hey!" Aselia called out to him, and he rolled his eyes.

"They are capable of so much more." The Doctor continued as he looked at Aselia, who just nodded. "I'm asking you, on their behalf. Please, just go." The Doctor pleaded as two Antons came up behind him. 

"Doctor!" Rose called out to warn him, but it was too late he was grabbed by one of them. The other went through his pockets, pulling out the antiplastic that was in his right pocket. "That was just insurance! I wasn't going to use it." The Doctor defended himself.

"I was not attacking you. I'm here to help. I'm not your enemy, I swear," The Consciousness only got more angry at The Doctor as he continued talking. "What do you mean?" The Doctor questioned. 

A door opened on the top level to show the same blue box that The Doctor was standing beside earlier, "No! Honestly, no. Yes that's my ship," He continued to argue with the alien being, "That's not true! I should know, I was there. I fought in the war. It wasn't my fault." 

Aselia frowned, a war?  "I couldn't save you world. I couldn't save any of them." 

Aselia jumped back as The Consciousness hit the side of the vat harder, annoyed with The Doctor. "What's it doing?!" Rose called out to him as Aselia tapped her fingers repeatedly against the barrier. 

"It's the Tardis. The Nestene's identified it as superior technology. It's terrified!" 

Aselia gaped, "Could this set of the invasion faster?" Aselia called out to him, and The Doctor looked up at her before nodding. 

"It's going to the final base. It's starting the invasion. Get out Rose, Aselia, just leg it!" The Doctor called out to them. Rose shook her head before pulling up her phone, and calling someone instead. 

"Mum?!" 

Aselia was looking to see if there was any way she could help The Doctor out of the situation he was in, the room was mostly coated in darkness so it was hard to see anything that wasn't near the Consciousness. 

"Where are you mum? Look, go! Just go home right now," Rose ordered over the phone, making Aselia look over at her with a frown before her eyes widened. Her mother was still out somewhere were Antons would probably be coming out at full force. "Mum. Mum!" 

The Consciousness let out an electricity blast up at the top of the roof, "It's an activation signal! It's transmitting." The Doctor called out to explain, as Aselia moved away in hopes to not get almost hit by it again. 

The Doctor was still struggling against the Antons arms, "Its the end of the world." Mickey speaks as Aselia continued to figure out how too get out of the situation their in at the moment. The Doctor looked up at at two Tyler sisters. 

"Get out Aselia, Rose! Just get out!" 

Aselia shook her head feverishly, "We are not leaving without you!" 

The Doctor looked surprised before smiling gently, "Run!" 

"The stairs are gone!" Rose called out towards him, as rocks and rubble start to crumble down around them. Aselia coughed as the rubbles dust got into the back of her throat. Rose grabbed Mickey and Aselia's hand before dragging them towards the Tardis. 

She slammed against the door before grumbling, "I haven't got a key!" 

"We're going to die." Mickey shouted in anguish, as Aselia frowned. She hated when Mickey was so negative, especially in times like these. The Doctor looked up at the two girls with a pleading look. 

Rose stood up from beside Mickey, "Rose," Aselia hissed, her sister turning to look at her. "What are you doing?" Rose sighed as Aselia stayed down beside Mickey. Her eyebrows raised as she questioned her sister. 

"Leave him!" Mickey hissed, trying to grab Rose's hand. "There's nothing you can do." 

"I've got no A-Levels, no job," Rose spoke out as she grabbed a bat from the corner of the room, stumbling forward. "No future. But I tell you what I have got. Jericho Street Junior School under-7s gymnastic team. I got the bronze." Aselia quickly caught onto what she was going to do. 

She grabbed a hold of the chains and swung herself down towards The Doctor, he swung the Anton over his shoulder and into the vat. Rose kicked the other Anton into the vat along with the antiplastic. 

It opened, the blue liquid smudging onto the top of Nestene Consciousness. The Consciousness quickly swallowed the liquid bottle and started moving around and electrifying itself. "Rose!" The Doctor called out as she came back towards him. 

He grabbed her gently around the waist to keep her from falling back into the vat with the Consciousness. "Now, we're in trouble." The Doctor chuckled before running towards the stairs, Rose following after him. 

The building started crumbling around them, as The Doctor opened the door to the Tardis. Mickey went in first, The Doctor following after him, then Rose and Aselia. "Woah," Aselia gazed at the ship in awe. 

The Doctor watched her reaction as she walked forward before placing her hand on top of the controls, "She's beautiful." The Tardis hummed lightly, obviously happy with the compliment. The Doctor looked at her confused. 

"How did you know she was a she?" He questioned and she chuckled lightly. 

Aselia looked over at him, "I took a guess, and apparently she liked it." 

"She has a small telepathic link," The Doctor announced, as Aselia's smile only grew more. She had never been in a ship like this before. "Okay, off home from the three of you." He commented as he walked around the ship, pulling leavers. 

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

The Tardis grumbled as Aselia went to leave, making her pat the railings. "It's alright girl, we'll see each other again at some point." She whispered, making the Tardis whine again as The Doctor looked over at her. 

"You know, I was thinking. You two can travel with me, see the world," The Doctor gleams hopefully, tilting his head to the side. The Tardis obviously got excited by that, switching on lights and then them off again. "And I think she likes that idea."

"Probably way too much," Aselia chuckled before frowning, "I don't know, you seem to find trouble wherever you go. I don't know if that's what I want for my sister." The Doctor smiled at her selflessness. 

She was willing to let go of seeing the stars to protect her sister. "You know, one place. Then you can decide if you want to or not, how about that?" The Doctor questioned, almost pleadingly. Aselia smiled lightly. 

"Loneliness, right? You travel around space-" 

"And time." Aselia rolled her eyes as he corrected her. 

"Yet you have no one to do it with, that's why you want me and Rose to come with," Aselia commented, twisting her ring around her finger. "I get it, Rose was more popular in school than I was. I was the nerd that read way to much and I was always lonely." 

The Doctor frowned as she brushed a blonde hair behind her ear, "Fine, one trip. We'll see how it goes after that." She told him and he grinned as he walked towards the door of the Tardis. 

"Nestene Consciousness. Easy." The Doctor commented, making Aselia chuckle. 

"You were useless!" Rose commented, "You'd be dead if it wasn't for me." 

"Yes, I would. Thank you," He nodded at her before sighing. "Right, then! I'll be off. Unless, I dunno. You'd could come with me and Aselia," The Doctor questioned silently. "This box isn't just a London hopper, you know. It goes anywhere in the universe. Free of charge." 

"My sister going with you?" 

"Only for one trip to see if she likes it." 

"Don't! He's an alien, he's a thing." She heard Mickey plead with Rose, making Aselia sigh.

"He's not invited," The Doctor retorted. "What d'you think? You could stay here. Fill your life with work and food and sleep, or you could go anywhere."

"Is it always this dangerous?" The Doctor didn't reply for a moment. 

"Yeah." The Doctor answered. 

"Yeah, I can't but you protect her, alright. She may act strong, but she is fragile in her own way." Rose ordered, making Aselia chuckle before looking down at her hands; remembering exactly what she had done. "I've got to go find my mum, and someone's got to look after this stupid lump. So." 

The Doctor chose to just take in the information about Aselia before answering Rose. "Okay. See you around." The Doctor shut the door before turning to look at Aselia who was still stuck in her daydream. "You alright?" 

Aselia's head snapped up to look at him before plastering a fake smile on. "Oh, yeah. I'm alright," She lied easily as she looked around the Tardis. "Rose not coming then?" She questioned as he flicked switches before he smirked. 

"I have one more thing to say to her that might get her to come," He answered before walking towards the door again. "By the way. Did I mention it also travels in time?" He questioned, and Aselia laughed loudly. 

She heard Rose running towards the Tardis before slipping in, closing the door behind her. "Look who changed their mind." Aselia teased as Rose walked up to her, wrapping her arm around her waist. 

"It's time I started living life the way I want too." 

"Damn right." Aselia commented, as The Doctor pulled a lever.
