A ghost appeared between the cones, and got trapped. Jennifer, Rose and Jackie watched it on the scanner. The Doctor put on a pair of red and blue 3D cardboard spectacles and make an adjustment to his control box.

The ghost was starting to writhe inside the field. "Don't like that much, do you? Who are you? Where are you coming from?" The Doctor asked. "Whoa!" The ghost tried to break out of the field. "That's more like it! Not so friendly now, are you?" The Doctor asked

The ghost fades and vanished. The Doctor gathered up the cones and ran into the TARDIS. "I said so! Those ghosts have been forced into existence from one specific point, and I can track down the source. Allons y!" The Doctor said. The TARDIS dematerialized.

"I like that. Allons y. I should say allons y more often. Allons y. Watch out, Jennifer and Rose Tyler. Allons y. And then, it would be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso, because then I could say, allons y, Alonso, every time. You both are staring at me," The Doctor said.

"Our mum's still on board," Jennifer whispered. The Doctor's eyes slightly grow wide. "If we end up on Mars, I'm going to kill you," Jackie said.

The TARDIS materializes in Torchwood Loading Bay 2, and was immediately surrounded by armed troops. The Doctor watched them on the scanner. "Oh well there goes the advantage of surprise. Still, cuts to the chase. Stay in here you two, look after Jackie," He said to Jennifer and Rose.

"We not looking after our mum," Jennifer said. "Well, you girls brought her," The Doctor said. "I was kidnapped!" Jackie said. "Doctor, they've got guns," Rose said. "And I haven't. Which makes me the better person, don't you think? They can shoot me dead, but the moral high ground is mine," The Doctor said.

The Doctor stepped outside and raised his arms. A woman rushed in on her high heels. "Oh! Oh, how marvellous. Oh, very good. Superb. Happy day," She said. She started clapping and the soldiers join in. The Doctor lowered his arms. "Er, thanks. Nice to meet you. I'm the Doctor."

"Oh, I should say. Hurray!" The woman said. "You, you've heard of me, then?" The Doctor said. "Well of course we have. And I have to say, if it wasn't for you, none of us would be here. The Doctor and the TARDIS," The woman said and more applause.

"And you are?" The Doctor asked. "Oh, plenty of time for that. But according to the records, you're not one for travelling alone. The Doctor and his companion. That's a pattern, isn't it, right? There's no point hiding anything. Not from us. So where is she?" The woman asked.

The Doctor didn't looked happy when she mentioned Jennifer and fake a smile, "Yes. Sorry. Good point. She's just a bit shy, that's all." The Doctor reaches in through the slightly open door and grabs the first person he could. "But here she is, Jennifer Tyler." He pulled Jackie.

"Hmm. She's not the best I've ever had. Bit too blonde. Not too steady on her pins. A lot of that," The Doctor said. "And just last week, she stared into the heart of the Time Vortex and aged fifty seven years. But she'll do."

"I'm forty," Jackie said. "Deluded. Bless. I'll have to trade her in. Do you need anyone? She's very good at tea. Well, I say very good, I mean not bad. Well, I say not bad. Anyway, lead on. Allons y. But not too fast. Her ankle's going," The Doctor said. "I'll show you where my ankle's going," Jackie whispered.

Jennifer and Rose were waiting in the TARDIS while The Doctor and their Mum were taking a tour. Then the TARDIS was driven past Jackie and The Doctor on the back of a truck. "Oi! Where are you taking that?" Jackie asked.

"If it's alien, it's ours," The woman, Yvonne replied. "You'll never get inside it," The Doctor said. "Hmm! Et cetera," Yvonne said, smirking. Inside the TARDIS, Jennifer peeked out and saw The Doctor, who giving her a little nod. "What's going on?" Rose asked.

"Hold on," Jennifer said as she ran to the stairs when The Doctor's coat was lying, She went through his coat pockets. "Psychic paper, psychic paper." She grinned when she found it.
