Fixing The Problems

Invaders From Mars - Part Two

"Boss! Boss!" He says.

"Hey, you're just in time. Tell Ellis he's fired." Chaney says.

"Listen boss, it's on the radio. Everyone's talking about it." The man says.

"Talking about what?" Chaney asks.

"Men from Space, boss. They're here." He explains.

"We know that, you klutz. What do you think this whole goddamn circus is about?" Chaney says.

"No, no, not that man from Space, boss. Some other man from Space." He explains.

"What?" The Time Lords say in unison.

"Martians. The Martians have landed!" The man says, worriedly.

"I sincerely hope not." The Doctor says.

"We can't stand around here all night." Celestia says after a while.

"I gotta protect my investment, Celestia." Chaney says. "The CIA want the Professor here as well. Maybe they'll want you and your boyfriend too. You science people fetch quite a few cents, I can tell you." He tells them. "Now, drop the gun, sister." He turns his attention to Glory.

"Hah! I am trained Soviet agent. I do not disarm myself because some stupid Yankee gangster threatens me." Glory says in a mockint tone.

"Uh. I'll count to three." Chaney says.

"Please, stop this." Stepashin tries to tell.

"Hand over the Prof and you can go home to Siberia and play with your dolls." Chaney says.

"You know, we have skilled surgeons in Soviet Union. They could do something about that face of yours." Glory says with a disgust in her tone.

"Uh, sticks and stones." Chaney tells her. "Now, what's all this about Martians?" He asks to the Time Lords.

"We have no idea." Celestia says. "I would imagine that whoever lost his alien ship has come back to find it and." Her explanation is cut off by The Doctor.

"Wait a minute. What year is this?" He asks.

"Oh, now I heard it all." Chaney says, sounding fed up.

"Nineteen Thirty-Eight, yes?" The Doctor insists.

"October Thirty-First, why?" Stepashin asks.

"Martians, hmm?" The Doctor says and starts laughing. Celestia laughs with him too, realizing what he's referring to."So I guess you're not as mad at me as you were before?" He asks her telepathically.

"I still am. I only laughed because I understood what you meant."

"I said I was sorry." The Doctor sighs, sounding sad.

"Being sorry is not always enough!" Celestia snaps at him. "I told you like five times that she was hiding something. You said you were gonna keep that in mind. But guess what? You didn't!"

"I know, I know. You have every right to get angry but please talk to me about it instead of being silent." The Doctor tries to get through to her.

"I don't know what to say." Celestia says.

"Here. Take this. These rays guns is heavy." Chaney says, bringing the attention to himself.

"Sure, boss." The man says, taking it from him.

"Look, over there, heading towards us." The Doctor says.

"Yeah, yeah, I know all the tricks, Doctor." Chaney says.

"He's serious though." Celestia says. Then they hear the whine of space craft.
