"You ready for this?" He asked, and Rose nodded eagerly. "Here we go. History!"

Augusta's POV
When Rose stepped outside the door, the Doctor and I were right behind her.

He went to stand outside with her, but I stood in the TARDIS, frowning at the ground. Littering across the ground was a white... Rug? I've never seen that before. Was the Doctor sure we were on earth?

I swatted down curiously and touched the ground, it squished under my fingers. My fingers went a few inches deep, before I felt the ground. It left something wet on the fingers of my gloves. I licked my gloves. It tasted plain, like water, but I could taste it any longer because it evaporated quickly.

"Augusta, what are you doin'?" Rose asked, making me looked up at her. The Doctor and Rose were both staring at me oddly. Well, the Doctor looked a bit more amused than odd.

I looked away embarrassingly, I probably wasn't suppose to do that. "I'm sorry," I apologized quickly, standing up and rubbing my neck awkwardly. "I just-- I was confused-- I didn't..." I stumbled over what to say, so I just closed my mouth.

"It's snow," the Doctor answered, reading my troubled thoughts. "It's like a colder version of rain. It's safe, trust me."

I looked at the 'snow' to the Doctor, then back at the 'snow' before shakily taking a step in it. I half expected for something to come out of the ground and grab my at my ankles.

Suddenly, my shoes began to get wet. I could feel it through my stockings -- as Rose called them earlier. It was seeking through my shoes, and swimming in my shoes.

I gasped, and jumped back into the TARDIS, promptly throwing off my shoes quickly. "Oi! What'd you do that for?" The Doctor asked confusedly, looking up from the newspaper he was reading.

"My shoes! They're wet!" I cried, shocked. My stockings were wet also, I began to pull those off, but Rose ran over and stopped me.

"It's fine, it's just water!" Rose said frantically. "No need to be flashin' your knockers to ever'one!"

I stopped and frowned at her, "What's a knocker?" I asked, confused.

"Uh... They're... Um... Doctor, what's american for knockers?" Rose asked.

The Doctor's ears went a light pink, "Underwear," he answered quickly, ducking back under his paper.

Now it was my turn to be embarrassed. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean... I..." I covered my face in my hands in embarrassment. Rose laughed lightly, and went to go grab my shoes, and helped me put them back on.

"If I had known that we would be in the dead of wint'r then I would've made you wear some boots," Rose said, and held out her hand to me. "Oh well, c'mon, lets go build some snowmen and snow angels. We can even have a snowball fight if you want."

Before I could ask what a snowball fight even was, an ear-piercing scream filled the air. The Doctor grinned tossing away his paper, I could tell he was eager for danger. "That's more like it!" He grabbed Rose and took off, with me running behind them.

We entered the theatre just when the blue gases swarmed around everywhere wailing loudly. People were screaming and running, it was almost hard not to get dragged away with the crowd, but Rose helped me by pulling me away to safety.

"Fantastic," the Doctor awed, watching the gases intriguingly. As soon as they left, the Doctor adverted his gaze, and went to go talk to someone, with Rose right behind him. I began to go over when I noticed someone dragging away a body, which obviously wasn't right.
