The doorbell goes and Poppy stands
"I'll get it,"
When the door opens, she sees The Doctor standing there
"You would not believe the day I'm having,"
"I'm sure I can't," she says as she grabs her jacket from the coat hook "Donna!"
----------&----------
"Is it him?!" Wilfred comes running out "Is it The Doctor?" Poppy's watching as he fiddles with the car and Donna's on the phone "ah! It's you!" he points to The Doctor.
"It's who?" The Doctor looks up as Wilfred keeps pointing "oh, It's you!"
"What, have you met before?" Donna asks
"Yeah, Christmas Eve. He disappeared right in front of me,"
"And you never said?"
"Well, you never said," Poppy starts laughing "Wilf, sir. Wilfred Mott. You must be one of them aliens,"
"Yeah, but don't shout it out. Nice to meet you properly, Wilf," They shake hands
"ah, an alien hand," Donna and Poppy make eye contact and smirk
"Donna, anything?" The doctor asks, referring to Donna trying to phone Martha.
"She's not answering. What is it, Sontorans?"
"Sontarans," He corrects her pronunciation "But there's got to be more to it. They can't be just remote controlling cars. That's not enough. Is anyone answering?"
"Hold on," she answers and The Doctor takes the phone. Poppy opens the bonnet of the car.
Once The Doctor's finished the phone call, he starts using his screwdriver on the car.
"But you tried sonicing it before. You didn't find anything," donna reminds him
" Yeah, but now I know it's Sontaran, I know what I'm looking for,"
"The thing is, Doctor, that Donna is my only biological grandchild,"
"Biological?!" Donna questions
"I was getting to that. Poppy's practically one as well. You got to promise me you're going to take care of them,"
"They take care of me," he replies, still searching
"Oh yeah, that's my Donna. Yeah, she was always bossing us round when she was tiny. The Little General we used to call her!" Donna rolls her eyes
"Yeah, don't start"
"And Poppy," he laughs "she may not remember much, but her parents must have raised her right," Poppy smiles "although one of them had a short temper,"
"Rude,"
"And some of the boys Donna used to turn up with. Different one every week. Here, who was that one with the nail varnish?"
"Matthew Richards," Poppy tells him
"He lives in Kilburn now, with a man" Donna continues
"Told you guys," Spikes come out of the ATMOS device after Poppy's words
"Whoa. It's a temporal pocket. I knew there was something else in there. It's hidden just a second out of sync with real time,"
"But what's it hiding?" Poppy asks
"I don't know, men and their cars. Sometimes I think if I was a car," Sylvia comes strolling out of the house Poppy makes a noise of disgust "Oh, it's you. Doctor what was it?"
"Yeah, that's me," The Doctor waves slightly as he keeps looking
"What, have you met him as well?" Wilfred questioned his daughter
"Dad, it's the man from the wedding. When you were laid up with Spanish flu. I'm warning you, last time that man turned up it was a disaster,"
The spikes suddenly start giving off gas. The Doctor forces Poppy back "Get back!" He then sonics it "That'll stop it,"
"I told you. He's blown up the car! Who is he, anyway? What sort of doctor blows up cars?"
"Oh, not now, Mum,"
"Oh, should I make an appointment?"
"Just go inside Sylvia!" Poppy says before she actually does leave
"That wasn't just exhaust fumes, Some sort of gas. Artificial gas."
"And its aliens, is it? Aliens?"
"Yeah. It usually is," Poppy agrees with Wilfred
"But if it's poisonous, then they've got poisonous gas in every car on Earth,"
Poppy and The Doctor look at all the cars "and it's really every single," Poppy agrees with Donna.
"It's not safe. I'm going to get it off the street,"
"Gramps no!" Poppy says, but he's already inside as the car locks and starts the engine. Thick gas coming from the exhaust pipe.
"Hold on! Turn it off!" Wilfred shakes his head "Grandad, get out of there!"
"I can't! It's them aliens again!"
"What's he doing? What's he done?" Sylvia asks
"They've activated it!" Poppy runs away from Donna and over to The Doctor whilst Wilfred bangs on the glass.
"There's gas inside the car! He's going to choke! Poppy! Doctor!" Poppy tries to open it whilst The Doctor uses his sonic but nothing works
"It won't open!"
Car alarms start going off and smoke fills the street "It's the whole world," The Doctor and Poppy mutter
"Help me!"
"We're trying Granddad!" Poppy says, starting to ban on the glass
"Get me out of here!" The Doctor pulls at some wires but nothing happens, he runs out onto the street as Sylvia runs inside and Wilfred collapses
"Doctor!" Both companions scream.
