ULTIMATE Doctor Who Book of Randomness (COMPLETED)

Series 1 Episode 1: Rose (Part 6)

P.O.V: Mickey Smith

As I watched Rose go in, I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach. I put on my best tough guy look and hoped Clive would be scared, but he looked more amused.

I waited for 5 minutes, until I saw something move, the recycling bin on the sidewalk next to my car. 

Probably just a kid playing a prank. I'll show him. I approached the bin and lifted up the lid. 

''Come on then!'' I said, but there was nothing in there. 

I tried moving back to car, but found I was stuck. How hot was it out here? The plastic seemed to be sticking to my hands, and I was stuck. I pulled and yanked, but I was still securely stuck to the recycling bin! I heard a growl, and the lid flopped open, yanking me inside.

And everything went black.

P.O.V: Rose Tyler

I bid farewell and thanked Clive and his family, and exited the house. I'd decided that he was absolutely insane. All that was too crazy to be true.

''All right, he's a nutter. Off his head. Complete online conspiracy freak. You win! What are we going to do tonight? I fancy pizza.''

I glanced at Mickey, who had his eyes set straight forward, faced on the road and the road only.

''Pizza! P-p-p-pizza!'' Quite excited?

''Or Chinese?'' I suggested, and he responded, ''Pizza!''

With those words, Mickey drove off, rather clumsily may I add to the pizza place.

********************************

Once we had been seated I began to ask him about jobs.

''Do you think I should try the hospital? Suki said they had jobs going in the canteen. Is that then, dishing out chips? I could do A levels. I don't know. What do you think?''

But Mickey wasn't interested in my jobs. ''So where did you meet this Doctor?'' he asked, his face stone cold and serious.

''I'm sorry, wasn't I just talking about me for a second?'' Who did he think he was?

''Because I reckon it started back at the shop, am I right? Was he something to do with that?''

I sighed. ''No.'' I lied. 

''Come on.''

''Sort of.''

''What was he doing there?'' Why was he suddenly so curious?

''I'm not going on about it Mickey, Really, I'm not, because I know it all sounds daft, but I don't think it's safe. I think he's dangerous.''

''But you can trust me, sweetheart. Babe, sugar, babe, sugar. You can tell me anything. Tell me about the Doctor and what's he's planning, and I can help you. Because that's all I really wanna do sweetheart babe sugar babe sweetheart.''

His voice went really deep a few times in there. ''What're you doing that for?''

But just then a waiter came over. ''Your champagne.'' But I was too baffled to even look at him.

''We didn't order any champagne. Where's the Doctor?'' Mickey demanded. 

''Madam, your champagne.'' 

''It's not ours. Mickey, what is it? What's wrong?''

''I need to find out how much you know, so where is he?''

''Doesn't anybody want this champagne?'' Why wouldn't this waiter go away? We're in the middle of something! 

''Look, we didn't order any---'' Mickey looked up at the waiter and his eyes narrowed. ''Ah. Gotcha.''

I looked up to see the Doctor holding a bottle of champagne, and shaking it vigorously.

''Don't mind me. I'm just toasting the happy couple!'' He pointed the bottle at Mickey and popped the cork out. ''On the house!''

The cork whizzed straight into Mickey's head, but it went right through, as if he were plastic! And he soon spit it out.

''Anyway.'' Plastic Mickey said. Where was real Mickey?!? But just then Plastic Mickey's hand turned into a chopper. I screamed and left the table, smashing the fire alarm. 

''Everyone out! Everyone out now!''

I watched in horror as the Doctor pulled off Mickey's plastic head, and it talked:''Don't think that's gonna stop me.''

The body of Mickey started flailing about, trying to hit us. The Doctor led me through the kitchens and he still had Mickey's head in his hands! Yet Fake Mickey Body was still running blindly after us. 

We ran through the kitchens and exited into what looked like an alleyway, and as I kept running I saw the same blue box I'd seen earlier. The end of the alley was sealed with a padlock, and I shook it furiously.

"Open the gate! Use that tube thingy, come one!" I yelled, while the Doctor was sealing the door we came through.

"Sonic screwdriver." He corrected.

"Use it!" I screamed

"Nah, tell you what, let's go in here." The Doctor unlocked the blue box and stepped inside, while Plastic Mickey was pounding on the door.

"You can't hide inside a wooden box! It's going to get us!" No response. "Doctor!" 

Still no response, so I tried the gates again. Still locked. Plastic Mickey was almost breaking through the door, so I quickly ran inside the box. And immediately ran out. What I saw was, incredible. Amazing. Impossible.

I ran around the box to see for myself. The same size as before, how can this be?

Plastic Mickey then broke through the door, and I had no choice but to go into the mysterious blue box.
