A/N: Comments and votes mean a lot to me!

"It's how they hunt. They latch on to a food source and keep it fresh," The Doctor explains

"What do I do?"

"You stay absolutely still, like there's a wasp in the room. Like there's a million wasps,"

"We're not leaving you, Dave," River pipes up from behind him

"Course we're not leaving him. Where's your helmet? Don't point, just tell me,"

"On the floor, by my bag," Anita goes to get it

"Don't cross his shadow!" she then very carefully gets it " Thanks. Now, the rest of you, helmets back on and sealed up. We'll need everything we've got," The Doctor puts Dave's helmet on him.

"But, Doctor, we haven't got any helmets," Donna panicked

"Yeah, but we're safe anyway,"

"How?" Poppy asks, still in her spot behind him

"We're not. That was a clever lie to shut you up. Professor, anything I can do with the suit?"

"What good are the damn suits? Miss Evangelista was wearing her suit. There was nothing left,"

"Shut up Mister lux!" Poppy groaned

"We can increase the mesh density. Dial it up four hundred percent. Make it a tougher meal,"

"Okay," The Doctor uses his screwdriver to adjust Dave's suit.

"Eight hundred percent. Pass it on," he goes to give River his screwdriver, but instead she pulls her own out.

"Gotcha,"

"What's that?

"It's a screwdriver.

"It's sonic,"

"Yeah, I know. Snap," River upgrades everyone's spacesuit. The Doctor grabs Poppy and Donna, pulling them over to the shop.

"With me. Come on!"

"What are we doing? We shopping? Is it a good time to shop?"

"Always a good time to shop," Poppy answers Donna, picking up a random item

"No talking, just moving. Try it. Right, stand there in the middle. It's a teleport. Stand in the middle. Can't send the others, Tardis won't recognise them," he pushes Donna in "I can only do one at a time though,"

"What are you doing?"

"You don't have a suit. You're not safe,"

"You don't have a suit, so you're in just as much danger as I am and I'm not leaving you!"

"Donna, let me explain," he then forces her to teleport away

"You next," Poppy gets in the teleport, The Doctor does the same thing but River calls his name. He speeds it up before running out the room. Poppy quickly jumps off the teleport. She slowly creeps back in, staying behind The Doctor,

"It's just gone. I looked round, one shadow, see,"

"Does that mean we can leave? I don't want to hang around here," Poppy nods her head to the side, not wanting to alert The Doctor to her presence, but still wanting River to know she agrees.

"I don't know why we're still here. We can leave him, can't we? I mean, no offence,"

"Shut up, Mister Lux," Poppy couldn't help herself, but The Doctor seemed to think it was River still talking
