It was Christmas time of the year, 2023, and the TARDIS makes a landing at some neighborhood, and it wasn't long before the Fifteenth Doctor and The Three Stooges exited out to explore. Doctor: "Hmm... this looks like a nice neighborhood..." Curly: "Yeah it does... look at all the clean trashcans." Larry: "Yeah, they are pretty clean, right Moe?" asked Larry, before seeing that Moe was looking pretty mad. Curly: "Um... you're not still mad about us accidentally dumping ya in the past of London and got stranded there for a few months until we found ya... right?" asked Curly, before Moe slaps him and Larry with his hand. Larry: "Yeah... he's still mad..." Moe: "You got that right porcupine... not only that... while I was stranded there... a woman fell in love with me and I was forced to give her something to remember me by..." Curly: "What's that?" Moe: "I rather not talk about it..." Doctor: "Never mind about it boys, let's just check this place out, for I picked up a signal that contains the type of radiation that involves traveling through time and space... somewhere around here..." Curly: "Um... could it have something to do with that flying ship up there?" asked Curly, pointing at what looked like a 17th century ship that was somehow flying in the sky, and climbing down a ladder was what looked like a goblin. Larry: "Wait... is that... a goblin?" Curly: "Is it Halloween already?" Moe: "Of course not, it's too cold to be Halloween..." Doctor: "Hey... there's another one... and it's got... uh no..." said the Doctor, as he can see another goblin carrying a basket that had a baby sleeping in it. Moe: "What's wrong?" Doctor: "Come on!, we gotta save that baby!" Moe: "Huh?!" Larry: "What baby?!" Curly: "Those things are kidnapping a baby?!" cried out the stooges, before they followed the Doctor to the house, climbing up to the roof and tried to hop onto the ladder. Once they did though, they see that they weren't the only ones on the ladder, for there was a 19 year old girl with blonde hair, named Ruby Sunday (played by Millie Gibson) who was surprised to see the Doctor and the Stooges. Ruby: "Who are you?" Moe: "We were gonna ask you that." Doctor: "Hello, I'm the Doctor, and these three are Moe, Larry and Curly, traveling friends of mine, what brings you here?" Ruby: "Well... I was just watching over the baby when those things up there took her and I don't know why!" Doctor: "Well I have an idea why... but you won't like it..." Ruby: "What?" Doctor: "Well... they're goblins believe it or not... and they like to eat babies so... that's pretty much why they kidnap the baby." Ruby: "They're gonna kill the baby?!" Larry: "That's awful!" Moe: "Terrible!" Curly: "It's repulsive!, we gotta save the baby!" Doctor: "Agreed, but we need to be careful... these things also like to cause bad luck to others..." Ruby: "Wait... I've been having a lot of bad luck lately... are you saying they're the cause of it?!" Doctor: "Perhaps... but why would they bother you?" Ruby: "I don't know... I'm just an orphan that was born on Christmas Eve in the year of 2004 and..." Larry: "You were born on Christmas Eve?" Moe: "That's an unusual day for someone to be born..." Ruby: "I know... it's crazy... and not only that, I have no clue who my birth parents are either." Curly: "Not one clue?" Ruby: "Nope... but now's not the time... the baby needs help!" cried out Ruby, before the Doctor gives Ruby, the Stooges and himself some special gloves that changes the weight of themselves so they can get a better grip on the ladder and stuff like that. Soon, they managed to climb up to the ship, and it wasn't long before they begin exploring the ship and start their search for the baby. Once they found the baby, the Doctor, the Stooges and Ruby see that the baby was surrounded by a lot of goblins. Larry: "Wow... that's a lot of goblins..." Curly: "Not only that... they're even uglier than Moe here..." Moe: "Look who's talking, onion head." said Moe, before he bops Curly on the head. Ruby: "I can't believe this... goblins on Christmas..." Doctor: "Wait... it's Christmas?" Ruby: "Well yeah, how could you not know that?" Doctor: "I've been busy... anyway... look ahead..." said the Doctor, pointing at what looked like a combination of a Goblin and Jabba the Hutt, which was actually the Goblin King himself. Ruby: "What is that?, Jabba the Hutt?" Doctor: "No... that's the Goblin King... the owner of this ship..." said the Doctor, before suddenly, a group of Goblins came and tried to attack the Doctor and his group, only they managed to get away from the goblins and rescued the baby just in the nick of time. Once they exited the goblin ship, which vanished without a trace, the Doctor and his companions landed safely on the ground, and then Ruby takes them her place and get the baby back to where she belongs. It was there where they meet Ruby's adopted mother, Carla Sunday (played by Michelle Greenidge) and her adopted grandmother named Cherry Sunday (played by Angela Wynter), who were the family that adopted Ruby when she was a baby that was found at the church of Ruby Road. As they were talking strange storm clouds appeared, and all of a sudden, Ruby vanished, and the most bizarre thing was that Carla and Cherry have no memory of Ruby at all. Once he realized what has happened, the Doctor rushes back to the TARDIS, followed by The Three Stooges. Moe: "Hey Doc!, what's going on?!, why don't they remember Ruby?" Larry: "And where is she?" Doctor: "It's the goblins... they went back in time and ate Ruby when she was a baby..." Curly: "What?!" Doctor: "Think about it... if you change one little thing in the past... you can change the whole present and future with either good or bad results... and this is one of the bad results..." said the Doctor, before the stooges began to cry their hearts out as they realized that their new friend Ruby doesn't exist anymore as she got eaten as a baby. Curly: "No... poor little Ruby... why?!" Larry: "It's not fair... she had so much to live for..." Moe: "This just can't be..." Doctor: "Don't worry... for you forgotten that the TARDIS is a time machine... meaning we can still save baby Ruby." Curly: "Oh yeah... we can stop those awful goblins from eating her!" Moe: "The kid's right!, it's fool proof!" Larry: "Then what are we waiting for?, let's go save baby Ruby!" so with that, the Doctor and the Stooges went back in time to Christmas Eve of the year 2004, and it wasn't long before they arrived and ran off to find the Goblin ship, hovering above the church of Ruby Road. Moe: "There's the ship!" Larry: "Look!, there's a basket!, baby Ruby must be in there!" Curly: "We're too late!" Doctor: "Not yet... quickly boys, put on the gloves!" said the Doctor, before he and the Stooges put on the gravity gloves, which they used to grab the rope ladder and pulls the ship down to them. While pulling it down, the Stooges accidentally pulled the ship too close the Church's steeple, which punctures into the ship, killing the Goblin king and the ship and goblins both vanished without a trace. Once the ship was gone, the basket that carried baby Ruby begins to fall, and both the Doctor and Moe managed to save the baby just in the nick of time. Moe: "Oh... that was close..." Curly: "Hey... who's that lady over there?" asked Curly, pointing at what looked like a mysterious woman that was wearing a cloak, standing from a distance and looking away from the church, crying by the sound of it. Doctor: "Boys... I think that's Ruby's mum..." Moe: "Are you sure?" Larry: "Well there's no one else here..." Curly: "Has she been standing there and crying this whole time?" Doctor: "I guess so... I wonder who she is..." said the Doctor, before the woman left the scene, and then he and the Stooges went to put baby Ruby back to the doorstep of the church and knocked on the door, before leaving and the people of the church found the baby and took her in. when the Doctor and the Stooges returned to the present, they see that things have returned to normal, and Ruby was alive and well. Moe: "Ruby!, you're okay!" Ruby: "Of course I am... why wouldn't I be?" Larry: "Well the goblins went back in time to try eating you as a baby, so we went back too and saved ya." Ruby: "What?" Curly: "What, what?" Ruby: "What are you talking about?" Doctor: "Never mind about it Ruby, we're just glad that you're alright now... so it's time for us to depart." Larry: "Yup, disappear like Houdini." Curly: "Who?" Moe: "The magician we met before coming here, you bubble brain." said Moe, before he eye pokes Curly, who tries to wave his hand to make Moe follow it until he slaps him in the face, which made Moe really mad. Moe: "Why you..." said Moe in anger, before the Doctor slaps both him and Curly to stop them fighting. Curly: "What was that for?!" Doctor: "For making a scene in front of a young lady." Moe: "Oh... sorry about that." Ruby: "It's fine... you know... you three kinda remind me of the Three Stooges... but you couldn't be them... for they're dead now..." Doctor: "The original Three Stooges, yes, but these three are most likely their descendents." Ruby: "You're kidding..." Doctor: "Nope... anyway... we should get going." said the Doctor, before he and the Three Stooges went back to the TARDIS, unaware Ruby was following them and went into the TARDIS herself. Once she was inside, the TARDIS vanishes, while Ruby's adopted mother and grandmother were unaware of Ruby's disappearance. Carla: "I wonder who those men were..." Cherry: "No idea... but one of them sure was good looking, while the other three were very funny." Carla: "Yeah... but I wonder where Ruby went...?" asked Carla, as she finally noticed that Ruby was nowhere to be found. Back inside the TARDIS, Ruby was shocked to see the interior of the ship, before seeing the Doctor and The Three Stooges looking at her with a smile. Ruby: "Who... are you?" Doctor: "Me?... as I said before... I'm the Doctor... and this is my ship... the TARDIS... short for Time And Relative Dimension In Space... a special spaceship that's also a time machine." Ruby: "But... it looked like a police box..." Doctor: "That's just a disguise... anyway... in case you wanna know more about me... I'm not really human... but an alien called a Time Lord from the planet called Gallifrey, which is now dead... a lot happened there... so now I'm the last of the Time Lords... and I use my ship to explore the universe of both the past and future... wanna see it?" Ruby: "Um... I don't know... should I?" Doctor: "That's your decision... though it looks like you'll be having a little trip now either way as we're currently flying through the Time Vortex." Moe: "So where are we going?" Doctor: "I have no idea... can't wait to find out." said the Doctor, as he pulls a switch and the TARDIS flies forward through the Time Vortex.
