Army of Ghosts

"And her family? Those two?" Jackie asked.

"She hasn't got any." Rose sighed. "And I don't know."

"And you?"

"The way he looks at her sometimes says it all, sure I do mum but I just don't know about him."

Jackie sighed then thought back to her comment earlier. "But you'll keep on changing. And in forty years time, fifty, there'll be this woman, this strange woman, walking through the marketplace on some planet a billion miles from Earth. But she's not Rose Tyler. Not anymore. She's not even human."

"Here we go! Rita press that button now" The Doctor ordered, she complied pressing the button then standing back beside the Doctor as the cones activated.

"The scanner's working. It says delta one six." Rose shouted from inside the TARDIS.

"Come on then, you beauty!" The Doctor laughed.

"When you know what it is you won't be thinking that" Rita muttered under her breath so the Doctor wouldn't hear even with his 'superior Time Lord DNA'.

A 'ghost' then appeared and a buzzing line going from each of the cones creating a triangle. The Doctor placed on what looked like normal cardboard 3D glasses. "Rita, could you press that button on the control box?" He pointed. She nodded and pressed it. "Also turn the dial a little to the right."

She nodded again following the instructions given. "Don't like that much, do you?"

"Looks like it's having a little dance" Rita chuckled watching the 'ghost'

"Who are you? Where are you coming from?" The Doctor asked knowing he wasn't going to get a response. "Whoa!" The 'ghost' became a little restless trying to grab Rita and get out. The Doctor pulled her back by her shoulders before it touched her. "That's more like it! Not so friendly now, are you?" He grinned then looked down "You okay?"  He asked the brunette still holding on to her shoulder.

"Good, yeah" she nodded. The ghost then disappeared.

"What happened!?" Rose shouted.

"They turned it off, got the signal though, help me with this Rita" he started to collect the equipment bringing it back into the TARDIS, she helped with it then remembered the control box almost leaving it behind then ran out collected it and bringing it in.

"I said so!" The Doctor ran around the TARDIS pressing buttons and flipping levers. "Those ghosts have been forced into existence from one specific point, and I can track down the source. Allons y!" He flipped a final lever, him and Rose fell back onto te jump seat and Rita squealed getting knocked as well, however, falling right on top of the Doctor. She squealed again jumping up just as fast as she fell down her cheeks becoming hot just like the rest of her body, full of embarrassment, yet possibly something else.

The Doctor then jumped up from the seat as well rushing around the TARDIS. "I like that. Allons-y." He thought aloud. "I should say allons-y more often. Allons-y. Watch out, Rose Tyler, Rita Stone. Allons-y. And then, it would be really brilliant if I met someone called Alonso because then I could say, allons-y, Alonso, every time." He rambled on then stopped looking at Rose. "You're staring at me."

"My mum's still on board." Her eyes glanced in the direction of her mother who looked pretty pissed. The Doctors face turned to true horror and Rita had to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing.

"If we end up on Mars, I'm going to kill you." Jackie hissed at him.

The Doctor turned to the scanner looking through as the TARDIS dematerialised and was held armed troops coming in surrounding it.
