Parallel: From Another World [1] (The Parallel Series) ✓

Rise of the Cyberman - Two

"They get it direct. Downloaded right into their heads." Rita shivered at the thought not liking the idea of that her nose scrunching up showing creases the Doctor chuckled at her expression while nodding his head in agreement understanding what the brunette found a little creepy.

"TV schedules, lottery numbers." Rose read the categories of as they flashed on her phone while they downloaded.

"Everyone shares the same information." He told them looking between Rita and Rose who was looking down at her phone watching the categories continue to pop up one after the other. "A daily download published by Cybus Industries." The people then all laughed signalling the joke and then continuing on with their days as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"You lot, you're obsessed. You'd do anything for the latest upgrade." The Doctor spoke in a disgusted tone.

"Oi, not my lot. Different world, remember." She told him.

"It's not so far off your world. This place is only parallel." The Doctor pointed out.

"Reminds me how everyone goes crazy for the latest phone models back home." Rita winked at the Doctor who laughed at her.

"I forget that you live in the future of a parallel universe" he shook his head then looked down at the phone. "Oh, look at that. Cybus Industries, owners of just about every company in Britain, including Vitex. Mister Pete Tyler's very well connected." He looked at Rose his eyebrows rising he then rolled his eyes noticing her pleading expression. "Oh, okay. I give up. Let's go and see him." They then walked off Rose telling them the address.

"I'm not wearing a skirt" Rita mumbled thinking aloud though gritted teeth. "No way"

"Why would anyone make you wear a skirt?" Rose asked Rita raising a brow

"I know his plan," she told the blonde smiling inside glad that they were 'okay'

"And what plan is this?" He raised a brow.

"Secrets I can't tell you" she winked grinning. "No skirts" she pointed at him with her free hand. "Or someone is going to have to figure out how to take me back to my world" the Doctor and Rose blinked not understanding if the brunette was actually joking.

"You think I'm being serious?" She laughed. "You two are stuck with me" she grinned madly. "I'm going nowhere."

"Wouldn't change it at all" the Doctor grinned back.

"Me either" Rose grinned as well copying Rita's expression.

"I warned you" Rita huffed carrying a metal tray with food she never even heard of before. "I told you no skirts" she whispered burning her deadly gaze over to him.

"We could have been anyone." Rose groaned.

"Got us in, didn't it?" The Doctor grinned a little. "Plus you said you wouldn't leave us" he winked at Rita.

"You're in charge of the psychic paper." Rose glared at him carrying around her tray. "We could've been guests. Celebrities. Sir Doctor, Dame Rose and Dame Rita. We end up serving. Did enough of this back home."

"If you want to know what's going on, work in the kitchens." He old Rose. "According to Lucy, that man over there-"

"Who's Lucy?" Rose interrupted him.

"She's carrying the salmon pinwheels." He looked over to a woman who waved over at him. Rita snorted out a laugh which soon disappeared when a guest of the party looked over at her disapprovingly.

"Bet she fancies you" Rita chuckled the Doctor looked over at her confusion spread over his face.

"Oh, that's Lucy, is it?" Rose asked. The brunette standing beside her felt a little sorry for her.
