[TARDIS]
The TARDIS is in a rather jerky flight, and the Doctor is having Rose help him pilot. Katerina said it was a bad idea as the girl can't even drive a car. Alas as usual, she was ignored. So now she is in the jump seat watching in amusement.
"Hold that one down!" The Doctor says to Rose, pointing to a lever.
"I'm holding this one down." She points out.
"Well, hold them both down." He states.
"It's not going to work." She complains as she tries to stretch across half the console.
"Oi! I promised you a time machine and that's what you're getting. Now, you've seen the future, let's have a look at the past. 1860. How does 1860 sound?" The Doctor asks.
"What happened in 1860?" Rose asks him.
"I don't know, let's find out. Hold on, here we go!" He says as the TARDIS jerks even more. He has no idea how to pilot this thing, does he?

The TARDIS materializes at the end of a snowy street. The Doctor and Rose are lying on the floor. Kat laughs at them from the jump seat, where she was perfectly safe.
"Blimey!" Rose groans getting up.
The Doctor stands up as well. "You're telling me. Are you all right?"
Rose checks herself over as Kat stands up. "Yeah. I think so. Nothing broken. Did we make it? Where are we?"
"I did it. Give the man a medal. Earth, Naples, December 24th, 1860." He states.
"That's so weird. It's Christmas." Rose states.
"All yours." He replies.
"But it's like, think about it, though. Christmas. 1860. Happens once, just once and it's gone, it's finished, it'll never happen again. Except for you. You can go back and see days that are dead and gone a hundred thousand sunsets ago. No wonder you never stay still." Rose says.
"Not a bad life." The Doctor shrugs.
"Better with three. Come on, then." She states grabbing Kats hand.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?" He asks.
"1860." She replies.
"Go out there dressed like that, you'll start a riot, Barbarella. There's a wardrobe through there. First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins, fifth door on your left. Hurry up!" He says pointing down the corridor.

After changing Rose and Katerina head back to the Doctor. Rose steps out first. "There, that's better. Fit right in. Where's Kat?" He asks her. She rolls her eyes and points behind him, where Katerina has stepped into the room. "Blimey!" The Doctor gasps.
"Don't laugh." Kat narrows her eyes at him.
"You look beautiful, considering." He states.
"Considering what?" She asks, raising an eyebrow at him and nodding towards Rose. He seems to get the hint because he says. "That you're human." Although, it sounded more like a question.
"I think that's a compliment. Aren't you going to change?" Rose states raising an eyebrow at him.
"I've changed my jumper. Come on." He says, making Kat scoff. She seems to be doing that a lot recently.
Rose stops him. "You stay there. You've done this before. This is mine." Rose opens the door and steps gingerly out into the fallen snow. She looks around wondrously at the view as the Doctor and Katerina step out.
"Ready for this? Here we go. History." The Doctor says.
