The Day...

The End Of Time, Part 1.

3 Person P.O.V.

"It is said that in the final days of planet Earth, everyone had bad dreams. To the west of the north of that world, the human race did gather, in the celebration of a pagan rite to banish the cold and the dark. Each and every one of those people had dreamt of the terrible things to come. But they forgot, because they must. They forgot their nightmares of fire and war and insanity. They forgot. Except for one."

It's Christmas time and Wilf hears an evil laugh in his head while standing in the street.

"Bwahahahahahaha!"

The Salvation Army band is playing God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. Wilf goes inside the nearest church, where a choir is rehearsing. He notices a strange blue rectangle in the stained glass window above the altar. A woman dressed in a white suit makes him jump.

"They call it the Legend of the Blue Box," the women said.

Wilf responded, "Oh. I've never been in here before. I'm not one for churches. Too cold."

"This was the site of a convent back in the thirteen hundreds. It's said a demon fell from the sky, then a man and woman appeared. A man and woman in a blue box. They called him the sainted physician and her the talented musician. They smote the demon and then disappeared."

"That's a bit of a coincidence."

"It's said there's no such thing as coincidence. Who knows? Perhaps they're coming back."

"Oh, that would make my Christmas."

He turns around only to see that the woman has disappeared. Wilf hears the laughter again.

"Bwahahahahahaha!"

Back in the Ood Sphere the Tardis materializes in the snowy landscape, and the Doctor steps out wearing a stetson and a lei. Ood Sigma is waiting for him.

"Ah! Now, sorry. There you are. So, where were we? I was summoned, wasn't I? An Ood in the snow, calling to me. Well, I didn't exactly come straight here. Had a bit of fun, you know. Traveled about, did this and that. Got into trouble. You know me. It was brilliant. I saw the Phosphorous Carousel of the Great Magellan Gestadt, saved a planet from the Red Carnivorous Maw, named a galaxy Alison. Got married. That was a mistake. Good Queen Bess. And let me tell you, her nickname is no longer. Ahem. Anyway, what do you want?" The Doctor said, knowing that Rebel would have smacked him for being so rude.

"You should not have delayed," Ood Sigma said.

"The last time I was here you said my song would be ending soon, and I'm in no hurry for that."

"You will come with me."

"Hold on. Better lock the Tardis."

The Doctor points a remote key at the Tardis. The door locks and the light flashes at it beeps.

"See? Like a car. I locked it like a car. Like. It's funny. No? Little bit? Blimey, try to make an Ood laugh. So how old are you now, Ood Sigma? Ah," he says looking at the Ood City. "Magnificent. Oh, come on, that is splendid. You've achieved all this in how long?"

"One hundred years."

"Then we've got a problem. Because all of this is way too fast. Not just the city, I mean your ability to call me. Reaching all the way back to the twenty first century. Something's accelerating your species way beyond normal."

"And the Mind of the Ood is troubled."

"Why, what's happened?"

"Every night, Doctor, every night we have bad dreams."
