Rose

Alyssa appeared in an alleyway somewhere in the middle of London. She looked around and walked out of the Alleyway just to see Henricks Department store. She smiled as she knew where she was. She started walking down the street to see the Tardis where she dug through her pockets just in hope that The Eleventh Doctor had put a key to the Tardis in there. Her hand brushed something like a box she brought it out and opened it up to see a Tardis key hanging on a silver chain. She smiled and inserted into the lock and went into the Tardis and sat in the pilot seat waiting for the ninth Doctor to come in after blowing up Rose's job. He hummed when he entered not noticing Alyssa sitting on the Pilot's chair until he turned around to drive them away from where they were."How did you get in here?" she smiled and held up a key. "You gave me a key!" The Doctor walked over and looked at the key and tried to snatch it from her but she instantly took it back and put it over her neck. She looked him up and down and said: "Just blew up Henricks am I correct?"

"How did you know that?"

"I know everything about your life Theta." She said with much determination.

"Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Alyssa, blimey I just came from a time where you knew me but I didn't know you.""What?"

"I for some reason jump through time. And Right now we don't have time for this. Living Plastic? Your ship tracked another Auton." She said gesturing to a screen behind where he was standing. He looked behind him and started flipping levers and said: "I am not done with you!"

"Didn't think so," she said smiling as she stood up and watched him pilot the Tardis. She followed him out and to Rose's apartment he looked up at her and said: "Do you have anything better than follow me around?"

"Let me think about it..." She said looking up at the ceiling then back at the door before saying. "Nope." The Doctor scoffed and leaned down to start messing with the cat flap. Soon the door opened and Rose appeared

"What're you doing here?" The Doctor said,

"I live here," Rose said looking at the two of them assuming that Alyssa was his partner or assistant.

"Well, what do you do that for?"

"Because I do. I'm only at home because someone blew up my job."

"I must have got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you?" he said knocking on her head "No, bonehead. Bye, then." Before the Doctor could turn around Alyssa pushed him into the apartment with the help of Rose pulling him inside "You. Inside. Right now." Alyssa happily walked in and followed Rose to the living room with the doctor unwillingly following her

"Who is it?"

"It's about last night. They are part of the inquiry. Give us ten minutes."

"She deserves compensation," Jackie said when Alyssa and the Doctor stopped in front of the door to Jackie's room. "Oh, we're talking millions." Alyssa watched as Jackie stood up and pulled her dressing gown closer to her body.

"I'm in my dressing gown."

" Yes, you are."

"There's a strange man in my bedroom." Alyssa watched the exchange with much amusement

"Yes, there is."

"Well, anything could happen." She said and with that Alyssa broke out laughing when the doctor said "no" and pulled her with him to the living room.

"Don't mind the mess. Do you two want a coffee?" Rose asked

"Might as well, thanks. Just milk." The doctor said while Alyssa shook her head.

"We should go to the police. Seriously. The three of us." The doctor started going through Rose's stuff, Alyssa watching with much amusement. "That won't last, he's gay and she's an alien."

"I'm not blaming you, even if it was just some sort of joke that went wrong," Rose said as the doctor picked up a book and flipped through it. "Hmm. Sad ending."

"They said on the news they'd found a body." Alyssa smacked the back of his head when he picked up an envelope on the table. He looked at her with shock and a little bit of anger but she just gestured behind him. He turned around and saw a mirror. Which he uses to examine himself. "Ah, could've been worse. Look at the ears." The doctor picked up a deck of card and once again Alyssa smacked him on the back of his head looking at him with disapproval. He then stared at her with annoyance but she just gave him a look that said 'don't mess with me'. He sighed and turned away to look more around the room.

"Anyway, if we are going to go to the police, I want to know what I'm saying," Rose said as she finished pouring the Doctor's cup of coffee. "I want you to explain everything," Rose said turning around to put the cup on the table. The noise of the cat flap opening

"What's that, then? You got a cat?" The doctor asked

"No," Rose said, Alyssa knowing what was about to happen looks behind the couch and the auton arm grabs her throat. The doctor instantly runs over and tries to help Alyssa get the arm off of her throat.

"I told Mickey to chuck that out. You're all the same. Give a man a plastic hand. Anyway, who are you two? Doctor what?"

The Doctor manages to get the arm off. But it just stops in mid-air and grabs Rose's face. Both Alyssa and The Doctor starts to pull at it trying to get it off of her. They finally manage to get it off of Rose with the doctor using his sonic screwdriver which finally makes it turn off.

"It's all right, I've stopped it. There you go, you see? Armless."

"Do you think?" Rose said then hit both The Doctor and Alyssa with the arm. Alyssa didn't say anything but rub her arm. The doctor soon pulled her to her feet and pulled her out of the apartment and down the stairs obviously trying to go to the Tardis. Rose followed them all the way saying that they couldn't leave until they explained what was going on. They reached outside. The doctor constantly pulling on Alyssa still wanting answers from her.

"All right, then. I'll go to the police. I'll tell everyone. You said, if I did that, I'd get people killed. So, your choice. Tell me, or I'll start talking."

"Is that supposed to sound tough?""Sort of."

"Doesn't work."

"Who are you two?"

"Oh Rose Tyler, you'll find out very soon."

"How did you know my name?" Alyssa blinked and said "oh crap." she turned so she could face Rose fully and said, "I'm psychic." The Doctor watched her even more confused about the girl in front of him. Rose nodded someone being psychic was the most believable at this moment in time.

"Still who are you two?"

"My name is Alyssa." Rose nodded happy that she finally got a straight answer for once, then she looked at the Doctor. "Told you. The Doctor."

"Yeah, but Doctor what?"

"Just the Doctor," Alyssa said at the same time as The Doctor did.

"The Doctor."

"Hello!"

"Is that supposed to sound impressive?""Sort of.""Come on, then. You can tell me. I've seen enough. Are you the police?""No, I was just passing through. I'm a long way from home.""Both of us are a long way from home," Alyssa added, giving the doctor some sort of hint of who she was."But what have I done wrong? How come those plastic things keep coming after me?"

"Oh, suddenly the entire world revolves around you. You were just an accident. You got in the way, that's all." Alyssa rolled her eyes and smacked the back of his head and said "Rude." The Doctor glared at her really starting to get annoyed with her hitting him"it tried to kill me.""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 what you're saying is, the entire world revolves around you.""Sort of, yeah."" You're full of it.""Sort of, yeah."But, all this plastic stuff. Who else knows about it?""No one.""What, you're on your own?""Well, who else is there?"

"Me." Alyssa finally said after watching the exchange. The Doctor looked at her and saw a soft expression on her face. The Doctor turned back to Rose and continued talking "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." Alyssa then crossed her arms as she watched the Doctor and Rose continue their conversation as if she hadn't said anything."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 off the signal, dead.""So that's radio control?""Thought control. Are you all right?"

"Yeah. So, who's controlling it, then?"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." Rose repeated"It's not a price war. They want to overthrow the human race and destroy you. Do you believe me?" The Doctor asked and Rose shook her head and Alyssa said "But you're still listening."

"Really, though, Doctor. Tell me, who are you?" The Doctor took both Rose's and Alyssa's

"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 around 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." The Doctor then pulled Alyssa with him to the Tardis. Once they were inside The Doctor turned to Alyssa and said: "Who are you?"

"I told you, Alyssa."

"Your real name?" She sighed and said Alyssa once more. "Okay then Alyssa, how did you know her last name? I don't remember her telling us."

"I'm psychic.""No, you're not I would be able to feel that." Alyssa sighed and decided it was better to fully explain who she was then have the Doctor hate her. "I came from another universe. A universe where your whole life is a T.V show. I know your past and your future. I know that you come from a planet called Gallifrey, I know that you are a time lord." The Doctor looked unbelieving at her

"Why should I believe that?" The Doctor said, Alyssa stood up and walked over to him

"because I know what you did to Gallifrey I know that you think that you are the last time lord but your not." She said, She took his hand and placed it where he could feel her heartbeat. The doctor froze as Alyssa continued "I would not lie to you Doctor." he nodded and took his hand off her chest and ran past her to find where another Auton was. He ran to the door and looked back at Alyssa

"You coming?" The Doctor said,

"Nope, this one you can handle on your own." He froze, but then left the Tardis. Alyssa put her hand in her coat pocket and took out both the blue diary and the pen. She wrote all about her past journey and this one so far. The Tardis door opened again and she quickly snapped the book shut and stuffed it back in her pocket. The Doctor came in with a Mickey auton head and said: "Rose really?" She smiled and nodded,

"She's your next companion." The Doctor froze once more but then began to hook the head up to the Tardis. Rose soon came in and ran straight back out to run around it. She came back in and Alyssa got up and walked over to her and said: "I promise Mickey is fine.""And How do you know that?"

"I'm psychic remember?" Rose nodded slightly and Alyssa turned to the Doctor who was watching them

"Where do you want to start?" The Doctor asked,

"Er, the inside's bigger than the outside?"

"Yes."

"It's alien."

"Yeah."

"Are you two alien?"

"Yes. Is that all right?"

"Yeah."

"It's called the Tardis, this thing. S. That's Time And Relative Dimension In Space." Alyssa said, She looked past the Doctor and saw that the head was melting "Uh Doctor the head is melting."

"Melting?" He spun around and saw the head melting

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" He said, running around the console, making the Tardis follow the signal "What're you doing?" Rose asked as The Tardis dematerializing sound started and quickly ended. "Following the signal. It's fading. Wait a minute, I've got it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Almost there. Almost there. Here we go!" Both the Doctor and Alyssa ran out,

"I lost the signal, I got so close."

"We've moved. Does it fly?"

"Disappears there and reappears here. You wouldn't understand." Alyssa once again smacked the back of his head and said "Rude!"

"If we're somewhere else, what about that headless thing? It's still on the loose."

"It melted with the head. Are you going to witter on all night?"

"I'll have to tell his mother. Mickey. I'll have to tell his mother he's dead, and you just went and forgot him, again! You were right, you are alien."

"Look, if I did forget some kid called Mickey"

"Yeah, he's not a kid."

"It's because I'm trying to save the life of every stupid ape blundering on top of this planet, all right?"

"All right."

"Rose I told you Mickey is still alive!" Rose once again ignored her

"If you are an alien, how come you sound like you're from the North?"

"Lots of planets have a north," Alyssa said

"What's a police public call box?"

"It's a telephone box from the 1950s. It's a disguise." Alyssa said and leaned against the Tardis

"Okay. And this, this living plastic. What's it got against us?"

"Nothing. It loves you. You've got such a good planet. Lots of smoke and oil, plenty of toxins and dioxins in the air, perfect. Just what the Nestene Consciousness needs. Its food stock was destroyed in the war, all its protein plants rotted, so Earth, dinner!"

" Any way of stopping it?" The Doctor brought out a tube filled with blue liquid Him and Alyssa both said "Anti-plastic."

"Anti-plastic." Rose confirmed, "Anti-plastic. But first I've got to find it. How can you hide something that big in a city this small?"

"Hold on. Hide what?"

"The transmitter. The Consciousness is controlling every single piece of plastic, so it needs a transmitter to boost the signal."

"What's it look like?"

"Like a transmitter. Round and massive, slap bang in the middle of London." Alyssa went to stand by Rose who looked up at the London Eye.

"A huge circular metal structure like a dish, like a wheel. Radial. Close to where we're standing. Must be completely invisible." He then realized that Alyssa was standing by Rose now and that both of them looking at something behind him he looked behind him and said "what?" he looked back behind him and said it again "What? What is it? What?"

Alyssa rolled her eyes and said, "Wow you really are daft sometimes." He then looked back and realized why the two were looking at the London Eye. He did a short glare at Alyssa but looked back at what they were looking at and said "Oh. Fantastic!" and they took off running. The Doctor grabbing Alyssa's hand while they were running. They finally stopped when they were close enough to the London Eye

"Think of it, plastic all over the world, every artificial thing waiting to come alive. The shop window dummies, the phones, the wires, the cables"

"The breast implants."

"Still, we've found the transmitter. The Consciousness must be somewhere underneath."

"What about down here?" Alyssa shouted when she leaned over and saw a hatch

"Looks good to me." They went down to the hatch and climbed down a ladder, and walked to the room that had the Nestene Consciousness. " The Nestene Consciousness. That's it, inside the vat. A living plastic creature."

"Well, then. Tip in your anti-plastic and let's go."

"We're not here to kill it. He's got to give it a chance." Alyssa said, and the Doctor nodded. He then went down and began talking to the Nestene "I seek audience with the Nestene Consciousness under peaceful contract according to convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation." Alyssa watched the Doctor not knowing what the Nestene Consciousness was saying. "Thank you. If I might have permission to approach?" Alyssa gestured downwards and Rose saw Mickey

"I told you he was alive." She said who ran down to him, Alyssa following behind

"Oh, God! Mickey, it's me! It's okay. It's all right."

"That thing down there, the liquid. Rose, it can talk!"

"You're stinking. Doctor, they kept him alive."

"Yeah, they had to keep him alive to maintain the copy." Alyssa said Rose looked up at her with a glare "You knew that and you never said"

"I told you he was alive." Their conversation was interrupted by the Doctor saying "Can we keep the domestics outside, thank you?"

"Am I addressing the Consciousness? Thank you. If I might observe, you infiltrated this civilization by means of warp shunt technology. So, may I suggest, with the greatest respect, that you shunt off?" The Vat made some sort of noise and the Doctor said

"Oh, don't give me that. It's an invasion, plain and simple. Don't talk about constitutional rights. I am talking! This planet is just starting. These stupid little people have only just learnt how to walk, but they're capable of so much more. I'm asking you on their behalf. Please, just go." Dummies came from every side and both Rose and

Alyssa yelled "Doctor!" But it was too late the dummies grabbed him and took out the Anti Plastic.

"That was just insurance. I wasn't going to use it. I was not attacking you. I'm here to help. I'm not your enemy. I swear, I'm not. What do you mean?" A door opened behind Alyssa, Rose, and Mickey showing the Tardis. Alyssa instantly grabbed her key and unlocked it she opened the door wide

"In, I promise the Doctor will not be harmed." Alyssa said, Rose nodded and took Mickey inside.

"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 looked up and nodded at Alyssa telling her with his eyes to leave him seeing the Vortex Manipulator on her wrist. She shook her head and grabbed a nearby ax and chopped a chain off the wall and grabbed it, walking to the edge and jumped off and knocked the Dummies away from the Doctor and the anti-plastic into the vat. He grabbed her when she swung back and said: "Now we're in trouble." They both ran up to the Tardis and The Doctor piloted them out of there. She smiled and walked over to The Doctor side and whispered:

"Take Rose with you." He looked down at her and nodded. They soon landed and Rose and Mickey left the Tardis. Alyssa and The Doctor leaned against the door and said

"Right then, I'll be off, unless, er, I don't know, you could come with me. This box isn't just a London hopper, you know. It goes anywhere in the universe free of charge." Talking to Rose, she looked back at him in surprise

"Don't. He's an alien. He's a thing." Mickey said,

"He's not invited. What do you think? You could stay here, fill your life with work and food and sleep, or you could go anywhere." Alyssa knew from Rose's eyes that she was considering it

"Is it always this dangerous?"

"Yeah. but that's what makes traveling with him fun." Alyssa said, The Doctor looked down at Alyssa and slightly smiled. But it soon fell when Rose said

"Yeah, I can't. I've er, I've got to go and find my mum and someone's got to look after this stupid lump, so."

"Okay. See you around." with that he pulled Alyssa into the Tardis and began piloting away but Alyssa put her hand on his making him looking up at her. "You didn't tell her it traveled in time." The Doctor smiled and piloted the Tardis back and he ran to the door and said

"By the way, did I mention it also travels in time?" Alyssa smiled when she saw Rose run in. The happiness she felt soon disappeared when a headache began "Sorry Doc, I'm about to jump, I'll most likely see this you again." Golden flakes danced around her once more and she disappeared into a different Doctor's Tardis. Not knowing that The ninth doctor watched with much interest and made a promise in the back of his head that he will find a way to stop her jumping.
