"Well then, I say we set up a trap for the beast and capture it before it can slip away. God knowing what it might do if gets away from us. It could take days, weeks even to find it again." The Doctor said locking the Tardis doors. "But first things first, let analyze some DNA!" He said rushing over to the control panel. "There we are, look at you."

"What? Whats happening?" Carrot Top said while looking on.

"It's a zygon, no doubt about that but theres something else." He said looking at a screen. "Something that shouldn't be there, one second." With a few short movements and tugging at the controls, he waited anxiously for something. "There, thats it, what is that?" He said looking intensely at her and then back at the screen.

"What? Whats is it?" She asked while coming to his side.

"The DNA has been polluted, almost fused together with another creature's. Now, I am still a stranger to your world but it says that it is also this creature." He said pointing. "What is that."

Carrot Top looked at the screen and quickly grew silent. Though she never seen one in her presence, she had heard and knew enough to know that there were in trouble.

"Doctor, remember what I told you earlier about the changeling creature?" She asked.

"Yes?" He asked with a concern tone to his voice.

"Well that is a changeling if I ever saw one." She said. "Which means….of course!"

"What!" The Doctor jumped.

"If its a changeling that means its going after Mr. and Mrs. Cake relationship. Not only that but the love they had for they're children is also potentially food for it." She said.

"Now hold on, the terminal also says that this thing is a zygon. If thats true than we are dealing with something that has been affect with something from your world. Thus its assumed that its a part of whatever its fused with." He exclaimed.

Carrot Top sighed. "You lost me on that one."

He stopped for a moment and began mumbling to himself. "We have to act and fast. If these creatures are as dangerous as you say, then we need to get it away from the rest of the Cake family. Also we need to find Mr. Cake as well, no telling where he's all hung up."

Carrot Top thought carefully. "Where though, I mean he could be anywhere really. She said he wasn't feeling good and that he went to the hospital this morning. We should start there, and work our way back."

"Thats a good start, so shall we beam right over there?" He asked heading for the door. "Of course you'll have to point the place out."

"Right coming." She said trotting after him.

The two went down the street and made there way to the hospital that sat by itself. Apoun arriving, The Doctor quickly made observations with his eye, not risking anything to happen.

"It's followed us." He said slowly.

"What?" Carrot Top asked turning around.

The Doctor quickly grabbed her and forced her forward. "No don't look, it will know that we know and thats something it cannot know."

"So what do we do? Are you sure its following us?" She asked.

He smirked. "I know because its been following us ever since we left the cake shop. Once we got back to the Tardis the radar picked it up."

"But wait, is it safe leaving your ship in the open like that? What if it got inside?" She asked.

He chuckled. "Don't worry I locked it, snug as a bug. Even though that statement is odd. I mean really how snug can a bug be?"
