Chapter Six

Alex POV

I wake up back on my bed in the TARDIS. How did I get back here? I think about what happened last night. Crap. I got knocked unconscious. Now I know how you feel Leah. I get up off the bed and realize that i'm still in the clothes that I were in yesterday. I take of the converses and leather jacket and head over to the closet. I open it up and pick out a loose black t-shirt and black jeans. I put them on and neatly lay my old ones on the bed since I don't know where the laundry room is. I put on my converse high-tops and grab my leather jacket and head out the door. As I walk into the console room, I see The Doctor pacing. " Hi" I say which seemed to startle him. "I didn't think you would wake up." he says walking over to me placing a hand on my head. "You hit your head pretty hard." He says. when he touches my head it stings and i wince away from his touch. " I'm fine really. Where are we going?" I ask "no no no no no. You're staying here. I don't want you to get hurt again. I'm gonna go track down that arm, so you stay here." Before I could say anything he walks out the door leaving me in the TARDIS alone. I pull out my phone and turn it on. It still has 90% battery left. Panic At The Disco time...

3rd POV

At 7:30 Rose's alarm clock goes off so she smacks it to turn it off. she sits up then her mum yells. " There's no point in getting up, sweetheart. You've got no job to go to." She falls back down on to her bed.

A Few hours later

" There's Finch's. you could try them. They always have jobs" her Mother jackie suggests. " Oh great the butcher's" Rose says sarcastically. "Well, it might do you good. That shop was giving you airs and graces. And I'm not joking about compensation. You've had genuine shock and trauma. Arianna got two thousand quid off the council just because the old man behind the desk said she looked Greek! I know she is Greek, but that's not the point. It was a valid claim." The front door of the flat starts to rattle. "Mum, you're such a liar. I told you to nail that cat flap down. We're going to get strays." She says and walks towards the door. "I did it weeks back!" her mother shouts from her bedroom. "No you thought about it." She says kneeling down towards the door. She looks to the ground to see screws on the ground and She opens the flap of the cat door and sees The Doctor. She stands up and opens the door. "What are you doing here?" He asks. " I live here." She replies. "Well, what do you do that for?" " Because I do. I'm only at home because someone blew up my job." she replies angrily. "I must have got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you?" He asks hit her head. " No, bonehead. Bye, then." he says about to walk away until she grabs him and pulls him inside. " You. Inside. Right now." " Who is it?" her mum asks. "It's about last night. He's part of the inquiry. Give us ten minutes." Rose says and walks away. "She deserves compensation." "We're talking millions." The Doctor says. Jackie stands up. "I'm in my dressing gown." she says. "Yes you are" he says, not getting what she meant. "There's a strange man in my bedroom" "Yes there is." "Well anything could happen." "Ah No." He says and walks away. "Don't mind the mess. You want a coffee?" She asks. " Might as well, thanks. Just milk. " We should go to the police. Seriously. Both of us." He ignores her and picks up a heat magazine. " That won't last. He's gay and she's an alien." he tosses it back on the table. " I'm not blaming you, even if it was just some sort of joke that went wrong." She says making the coffee. He picks up a paperback and flips through the pages. "Hmmm, sad ending." he says and walks around. "It said on the news that they found a body." he picks up a card. "Rose Tyler." He then walks over to the mirror. "Ah, could've been worse. Look at the ears." " All the same, he was nice. Nice bloke." He tries to flip through a deck of cards, but it backfires and they explode in his face while he singing lucky to be a lady. " Anyway, if we are going to go to the police, I want to know what I'm saying. I want you to explain everything." Then the cat flap opens. " What's that then, you've got a cat." he says walking over, then getting attacked by the Auton arm. "No." she says pouring the coffee into two mugs. ": We did have, but now they're just strays. They come in off the estate" she says paying no notice to the arm choking The Doctor. "I told Mickey to chuck that out. You're all the same. Give a man a plastic hand. Anyway, I don't even know your name. Doctor, what was it?" He finally get the arm off his neck, but then it attaches to Rose's face. He tries to yank it off, but that didn't work and he falls breaking the Tyler's glass coffee table. Rose lands on the couch and The Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver and it got off her face. He jabbed it in the hand and the fingers stop moving. "It's all right, I've stopped it. There you go, you see? Harmless." "You think?" She uses the arm to hit him over the head. "ow!" He leaves the apartment and she follow behind him. " Hold on a minute. You can't just go swanning off." She says as they're walking down the stairs. " Yes I can. Here I am. This is me, swanning off. See you." He says "That arm was moving. It tried to kill me!" "Ten out of ten for observation." "You can't just walk away. That's not fair. You've got to tell me what's going on." "No I don't" They start walking on the pavement. " Alright then, I'll go to the police. I'll tell everyone. You said that if I did that, people would get killed. So tell me, or I'll start talking." "Is that supposed to sound tough?' he asks. "Sort of." "That doesn't work." she sighs. "Who are you?" "I told you, I'm The Doctor." "yeah, but Doctor What?" "Just The Doctor." "The Doctor?" "Hello" he smile. "Is that supposed to sound impressive.?" "Sort of." She runs up closer to him. "Come on, then You can tell me. I've seen enough. Are you the police." " No, I'm a long way from home." he says. "But what have I done wrong? How come those plastic things keep coming after me?" "Oh, now suddenly the entire world revolves around you. You were just an accident. You got in the way, that's all." "It tried to kill me!" She said exasperated. " It was after me, not you. Last night, in the shop, I was there, you blundered in, almost ruined the whole thing. This morning, I was tracking it down, it was tracking me down. The only reason it fixed on you is 'cos you've met me." "So you're saying the entire world revolves around you?" "Sort of, yeah." "You're full of it." She says and laugh. "Sort of, yeah." "But, all the plastic stuff who else knows about it?" "No one." " What, so it's just you and your daughter?" "she's not my daughter." "Then who is she?" " someone who I picked up along the way." " so no one besides you and her.". "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." "Okay. Start from the beginning. I mean, if we're going to go with the living plastic, and I don't even believe that, but if we do, how did you kill it?" "The thing controlling it projects life into the arm. I cut it off the signal, dead." "So that's radio control." "Thought control, are you alright." "Yeah, so who's controlling it?" "Long story." "But what's it all for? I mean, shop window dummies, what's that about? Is someone trying to take over Britain's shops?" "No." "No?" she asked confused. " It's not a price war. They want to overthrow the human race and destroy you. Do you believe me?" "No." "But you're still listening." She stops walking. " Really, though, Doctor. Tell me, who are you?" He turns around so he's facing her. "Do you know like we were saying about the Earth revolving? It's like when you were a kid. The first time they tell you the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it. The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling round the sun at sixty seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go. That's who I am. Now, forget me, Rose Tyler. Go home." He grabs the plastic arm out of her hand and walks back to the TARDIS.

Alex's POV

As This is Gospel starts to play the doors open. I run to the console and take my phone and turn it off. "I thought I told you to rest." "Dancing and singing help me rest. Brendon Urie helps me rest." I say. "Go to your room." He says firmly. "Fine." I say and walk to my room. When I get in there I turn the song back on. "If you love me let me gooooooooooooooooo"...

3rd POV

Rose turns around about to walk away when she hears a noise and turns around, only to see nothing there.
