Daylight, and church bells are ringing. Guido is still waiting with his gondola, as everyone runs out.

"Quickly, quickly. Get out. Quick. Quick" the girl recoils as the sunlight touches her skin, {Y/N} and the Doctor stop.

"Come on. Run" the Doctor says.

"I can't" the girl and the vampires shut the heavy door leading to the tunnel. The Doctor touches the metal on it, and gets an electric shock and falls back into {Y/N} who catches him, Rory runs over helping {Y/N} set him on the ground.

"Is he dead?" Amy asks.

"No, he's breathing" Rory says.

*Time skip*

Rosanna enters alone. The Doctor is sitting on her throne, while {Y/N} stands next to him with her arms crossed.

"Long way from Saturnyne, aren't you, Sister of the Water?" the Doctor asks.

"No, let me guess. The owners of the psychic paper. Then I take it you're both refugees, like me?"

"We'll make you a deal. An answer for an answer. You're using a perception filter. It doesn't change your features, but manipulates the brainwaves of the person looking at you. But seeing one of you for the first time in, say, a mirror, the brain doesn't know what to fill the gap with, so leaves it blank, hence no reflection" {Y/N} says.

"Your question?"

"Why can we see your big teeth?" the Doctor asks.

"Self-preservation over rides the mirage. The subconscious perceives the threat and tries to alert the conscious brain."

"Where's Isabella?" {Y/N} asks.

"My turn. Where are you from?"

"Gallifrey" the Doctor and {Y/N} say.

"You both should be in a museum. Or in a mausoleum."

"Why are you here?" the Doctor asks.

"We ran from the Silence. Why are you here?"

"Wedding present. The Silence?" {Y/N} asks.

"There were cracks. Some were tiny. Some were as big as the sky. Through some we saw worlds and people, and through others we saw Silence and the end of all things. We fled to an ocean like ours, and the crack snapped shut behind us. Saturnyne was lost."

"So, Earth is to become Saturnyne Mark Two?" the Doctor asks.

"And you two can help me. We can build a new society here, as others have. What do you say?"

"Where's Isabella?" {Y/N} asks.

"Isabella?"

"The girl who saved our friend."

"Oh, deserters must be executed. Any general will tell you that. I need an answer, Doctor. A partnership. Any which way you choose."

"I don't think that's such a good idea, do you? We're Time Lords. You're a big fish. Think of the children."

"Carlo? You're right. We're nothing alike. I will bend the heavens to save my race, while you two philosophise" Carlo enters.

"This ends today. we will tear down the House of Calvierri, stone by stone" the Doctor says.

"Take your hands off me, Carlo" {Y/N} snarls.

"And you know why? You didn't know Isabella's name. You didn't know Isabella's name" the Doctor continues.

"Open the gates" Carlo says, the Doctor and {Y/N} leave.

*Time skip*

{Y/N} checks Amy's puncture wounds with her sonic screwdriver.

"You're fine. Open wide" {Y/N} says, Amy opens her mouth and {Y/N} pops a humbug into Amy's mouth. Guido and Rory have got their own clothes back.
