"And where do you think you're going?" Rose asked a us. We had stood up and left the Tyler's flat. "Nowhere. It's just a bit human in there for me. History just happened and they're talking about where you can buy dodgy top-up cards for half price. I'm off on a wander, that's all." The Doctor told her.
"Right. There's a spaceship on the Thames and you're just wandering." Rose didn't believe us, rolling her eyes sarcastically.  "Nothing to do with us. It's not an invasion. That was a genuine crash landing. Angle of descent, colour of smoke, everything. It's perfect." I sighed, thinking about the ship.

"So?" She asked. "So maybe this is it. First contact. The day mankind officially comes into contact with an alien race. We're not interfering because you've got to handle this on your own. That's when the human race finally grows up. Just this morning you were all tiny and small and made of clay. Now you can expand." The Doctor expressed.

"You don't need us. Go and celebrate history. Spend some time with your mum." I urged, knowing what the Doctor was going to do. "Promise you won't disappear?" She asked. "Tell you what. Tardis key. It's about time you had one. See you later." The Doctor handed her one, and turned to me abruptly. "You too, I deserve to have a Tardis key as well.." The metal key, now in the palm of my hand, made me smile. I knew how much this meant to him. I had a Tardis once, a beautiful thing, and only four people had a key. But she was lost along time ago, in the war.

The Doctor and I walked out to the Tardis, ignoring the sounds of the people talking and partying.

Tardis was not happy, to say the least. The Doctor resorted to using a large hammer, which made it a bit worse. "Oi! Stop that! She doesn't like that!" I scolded, making him stop hitting the Tardis console. "What then?" He yelled. I pushed down a button, not breaking eye contact with the Doctor, and the Tardis stopped thrashing us around. The Doctor stared at me in disbelief and grumbled words I couldn't hear under his breath.

The Tardis, meanwhile, parked herself in a store room. The Doctor and I stepped out of the Tardis and the Doctor used with sonic screwdriver on the door lock.  uses his sonic screwdriver on the door lock. He whispered, "Shush!"

The Doctor and I went down a long hallway, and I opened a door into a room full of Red Berets - the Parachute Regiment. They stared at each other in silence for a moment, then the soldiers grabbed their weapons and point them at the Doctor and I. A ear piercing scream erupted from down the hall, and I should at the men. "Defense plan delta! Come on. Move! Move!" We lead the Marines out of the room, and towards the noise.

We arrived at a Monetary and a woman was cowering by her desk, a small gash on her head. "It's alive!" She breathed, scared. "Spread out. Tell the perimeter it's a lockdown." The Doctor ordered, but the Marines didn't leave. "My god. It's still alive." The woman repeated. "Do it!" I yelled, my voice slightly scary. The hurried away and did as we told them. I went over to the woman and crouched next to her, rubbing her back trying to comfort her.

"I swear it was dead." She pleaded. "Coma, shock, hibernation, anything. What does it look like?" The Doctor questioned. The sound of metal clattering filled the cold room, and our heads snapped up. "It's still here." I whispered. The Doctor stood and motioned for me to stay with the woman, who I learned is named Toshiko.

"Hello." The Doctor spoke.

A pig ran out on its hind legs. It is was wearing a spacesuit. "Don't shoot!" The Doctor chased after it, I got up and followed, a whiles away behind him.

[Corridor]
Down a corridor, guns going off filled my ears, and I feared the worse had happened. As I turned the corner, the dead pig lied on the ground, bleeding profusely from many parts of its body. "What did you do that for? It was scared! It was scared." I slightly screamed at the men, bending down close to the pig.
