"No, no, no!" Rita shouted running to where the TARDIS was a moment again. "But I took them all, all of them!" She shouted then looked at the blonde who was looking very worried. "Come on!" She ran heading in the direction of the Webber house. "I thought I took them all" she ran a hand through her own hair as they ran. "Things change, guess that was something not even I could stop" they arrived at the house and Rose pounded her hand frantically on the door. Trish opened it looking confused at the worry and anger on their faces.

The two head straight upstairs and Trish tried to reassure them both: "It's okay. I've taken all the pencils off her."

They headed into her room and Rose grabbed the drawing from the girl holding it up. Rita looked over her shoulder to see the Doctor and the TARDIS on the piece of paper.

"Leave me alone. I want to be with Chloe Webber. I love Chloe Webber." The Iolus demanded.

"Bring him back, now." Rose firmly told it.

"No." It said coldly with no emotion only wanting one thing.

"Don't you realise what you've done? He was the only one who could help you. Now bring him back!" She shouted. Rita stared at the girl narrowing her eyes.

"I warned you." She hissed her eyes darkening. "I told you he could help you, to stay and wait for him to help!" Rita snapped sending a violent shiver through Trish and Rose's bodies, sure it was understandable for Trish to be slightly terrified. However for Rose, this was something she hadn't seen from the brunette before, her hazel eyes became cold and dark showing the fire inside, burning through as anger while mentally shooting daggers at the Isolus in the twelve-year-olds body.

"Leave me alone! I love Chloe Webber!" It shouted at them ignoring and not looking at all scared by Rita. Why should it? It most likely had witnessed horrible things, a 19-year-old human was nothing compared to the things it no doubt seen traveling the universe.

"I know. I know." Rose muttered not realising she was gripping the girl's shoulders tightly she let go then looked at the drawing holding on to it. Rita held on as well sadly looking at it. Her eyes looking down hurt and lost "Doctor, if you can hear me, we're going to get you out of there. We'll find the pod." She looked at Rita who nodded. Rose then turned to Trish. "Don't leave her alone, no matter what."

They ran out the room. "Don't" Rita pointed at her emphasising how important it was, she then left following Rose.

The looked around the street. "Heat. They travel on heat." Rose muttered more to herself than to Rita.

"Look at this finish. Smooth as a baby's bottom. Not a bump or a lump." The council man saw the girls and beamed at them about his work.

"Kel, was there anything in this street in the last few days giving off a lot of heat?" Rose asked.

He ignored her and countinued on about his 'masterpiece' "I mean, you can eat your dinner off this. Beautiful. So you tell me why the other one's got a lump in it when I gave it the same love and craftsmanship as I did this one."

"Well, when you've worked it out, put it in a big book about tarmacking," She sarcastically replied then pressed on with the matter at hand. "But before you do that, think back six days."

"Six days. When I was laying this the first time round."

"What?" Rose frowned wanting him to go on further and explain.

"Well, that's when I filled in this pothole for the first time." He replied not understanding what was so important about it.

"Six days ago." Rose double checked then looked at Rita.

"Yeah."

"Hot fresh tar." She beamed at Rita.

"Blended to a secret council recipe."

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Rita raised a brow, Rose looked at her smugly smiling, they figured it out both nodded then sprinted towards Kel's council van.

"I don't keep it in the van!" he shouted thinking they wanted his secret recipy as if they cared about it. Rita threw open the door and jumped inside then began to pass items to Rose, she threw them on the floor. "Hey, that's a council van. Out." He ordered. Rita found a pickaxe and beamed.

"Don't know why there is one of these in here but I don't care!" She laughed jumping out the van and handing it to Rose before grabbing another identical to the first. "This is more like it, actually we only need one" She threw it back in the van and ran off back to Rose following her towards the filled in pothole passing Kel who was storming up to the van.

Rose then held the axe over her shoulder ready to swing. "Whoa, wait, wait, wait. You just removed a council axe from a council van." He started to rant on. "Put it back. No, don't, wait. Put the axe back in the van. That's my van. Give me the axe. No! Wait! No!" He pleaded as Rose then swung the axe causing it to collide with the pothole.

"No! You, stop!" He jumped in the way before she swung again. "You just took a council axe from a council van and now you're digging up a council road! I'm reporting you to the council!"

Rita took the axe from Rose and was about to swing. "In a minute there won't be a councilman to own a council van to report anything to the bloody council!" She shouted. "Now get out of my way!" He stuttered Rita then swung the axe and he jumped out the way before it hit the pothole again, she repeated this a few times before crouching down to the ground with Rose on her hands and knees moving the rubble out of the way. Rose found the tiny pod just like the Doctor had described to them earlier.

"It went for the hottest thing in the street. Your tar." Rose looked up holding the ship between her hands like it was the most precious thing.

"What is it?" Kel asked.

"It's a spaceship."

"Isolus spaceship to be exact" Rita informed him not that he had any idea what that meant.

"Not a council spaceship, I'm afraid. Come on Rita!" Rose ran to Trish's house spaceship in hand with Rita behind her, they burst into the living room. "I've found it! I don't know what to do with it, but maybe the Isolus will just hop on board." Trish was sitting watching the TV showing the Olympic stadium. "Hang on, I told you not to leave her."

"No, no, no, no, no!" Rita shouted then watched the TV seeing all of the people occupying the stands and everything in the area vanish in a blink of an eye.

Kel followed starting to rant about his precious council road again. "I don't care if you've got Snow White and the Seven Dwarves buried under there, you don't go digging up-"

"Shut up and look!" Rose pointed to the TV

"The crowd has vanished! Er, they're gone. Everyone has gone. Thousands of people have just gone. Right in front of my eyes. It's impossible. Bob, can we join you in the box? Bob? Not you too, Bob?" The man on the TV spoke.

"The stadium won't be enough. The Isolus has four billion brothers and sisters." Rose stated.

They sprinted up the stairs and Rose handed the pod to Rita then attempted to open the door.

"Chloe? Chloe, it's Rose!" She shouted, violently trying to open the door somehow. "Open the door!" She demanded. "We found your ship. We can send you home." Rose told the Isolus begging for it to open the door.

"Chloe?" Trish cried out.

"Open up" Rose shouted.

"Rose the axe!" Rita looked at it than her.

"Right, stand back." The blonde demanded throwing it over her shoulder. She throw the axe into the door causing it to crack, then again and again before a gap was made, shoving her hand through the gap she pushed the chair and opened the door.

"Chloe!" Rose shouted stepping closer to the girl she jumped back at the voice of the girl's dad.

"I'm coming to hurt you. I'm coming."

"I've got to stop her."

"If you stop Chloe Webber, I will let him out. We will let him out together. I cannot be alone. It's not fair." The Isolus stated.

Rita held out her hand with the pod. "Look, We have your pod," Rose told it.

"The pod is dead."

"It only needs heat," Rose told her.

"It needs more than heat." The Isolus continued to scribble on the wall drawing the Earth.

"What, then?"

"I'm not being funny or nothing, but that picture just moved." Kel interrupted pointing to the wall. "And that one!" He pointed to the drawing of the Doctor. Rose picked it up staring at it.

"She didn't draw that, he did. But it needs more than heat, Doctor." She cried looking at the Doctor pointing at the Olympic torch.

"But that's what it is," Rita told the blonde.

"Is still on its way. I suppose it's much more than a torch now, it's a beacon. It's a beacon of hope and fortitude and courage. And it's a beacon of love." The man on the computer showing the torch bearer running down the street.

"Love." Both Rose and Rita said at the same time.

"We know how to charge up the pod." Rose ran out of the room with Rita running down the stairs and out the front door.

"We have to get it in the torch!" Rita followed Rose pushing through the crowd.

"Sorry, you'll have to watch from here." The policeman stopped them.

"No, I've got to get closer." Rose protested trying to move forward to get closer to the torch.

"No way." He told them.

"We can stop this from happening!" Rose shouted. Rita pulled her back away knowing that there was nothing to get him to move. "What do we do now" she looked at the brunette beside her, there was a warm feeling in her hand and she held it out.

"I think it wants to go home" Rita smiled showing the pod to her friend.

"You felt it, didn't you?" Rose whispered to the pod: "Feel the love." Her and Rita then launched it into the air and watched it fly into the flame. They jumped out and down screaming and shouting, hugging each other and laughing.

"Yes!" Rose cheered.

"You did it!" Kel laughed hugging them both then frowned. "What was it you did?"

"We just saved planet Earth" Rita grinned then turned around and saw all the children reappearing. "They're all coming back"

Rose's face fell not seeing the Doctor anywhere. "Doctor."

The elderly woman that had told them at the start came over happy and buzzing. "I don't know who you two are, or what you did, but thank you, darlings!" She hugged them and they both smiled at her. "And thank that man for me too."

"Where is he? He should be here" She looked at Rita who didn't answer and turned running off towards Trish's house. " All the drawings have come to life. That means all of them. Oh, no." Rose looked at Chloe's bedroom and saw the glow. She ran to the door which closed just before she got there. Rita managed to get inside.

"Rita!" She screamed banging on the door. "Trish, get out!" She saw them inside.

Trish tried to open the door which wasn't moving, there was a bright red glow coming from upstairs. "I can't! The door's stuck!"

"Is the Doctor in there?" Rose frantically asked.

"I don't think so." She replied.

"He's not here, Rose he's safe" Rita reassured her.

"Mummy." Chloe cried out for her mum. Rita stood in front of them.

"Chloe, I'm coming to hurt you." The father's voice echoed.

"Please, dad. No more." Chloe cried out sinking to the floor with her mother both crying/

"Chloe"

"Chloe, listen to me. It isn't real like the others. It's just energy left over by the Isolus, but you can get rid of it." Rose shouted.

"Help us!" Trish cried out.

"It's because you're scared of him!" Rita shouted. "He is not real, just energy left over."

"Mummy!" Chloe cried out.

"You can do it, Chloe!" Rose tried to give the child hope to fight it off.

"I can't!" She shook her head.

"Chloe, I'm coming." his voice echoed through the house sending a little fear to even Rita now.

"I can't! I can't!"

"I'm coming." He said again the voice getting louder.

"I can't." She repeated.

"I'm coming."

"Mummy." She cried out pushing herself against the door as far away from him as possible.

"I'm with you, Chloe. You're not alone. You'll never be alone again." Her mother cried holding her daughter's hand.

"Sing" Rita shouted stepping beside them. "You have to!"

"Chloe you need to sing!" Rose shouted banging on the door.

"I'm coming to hurt you. Chloe!" The two began to sing and the red light grew darker and faded away the voice cried out and then ceased no more.

The door opened and Rose rushed in pulling Rita into a hug. "Oh my god!" She shouted. "He would have killed me!" She hugged the brunette tighter who then began to laugh.

"Who would have?" Rita questioned raising a brow.

"The Doctor of course!" She hugged her again. "Where is he..." She muttered quietly.

Rita shook her head and they walked outside slumping themselves down in front of the door.

Kel walked up to them and tried to give them a little hope. "Maybe he's gone somewhere." He looked sadly at them.

"Who's going to hold his hand now?" Rose mumbled glancing at Rita for a moment. They sighed and stood up walking into the living room where Trish and Chloe were watching the stadium with all of the people returned. The commentator spoke happily not understanding what had happened but not caring because the Olympic games were back on.

Rose looked at the TV sadly muttering: "Eighty thousand people, so where's the Doctor?" She needs him. The blonde thought to herself. Rita began to chuckle as the commentator mentioned about the torch bearer who had now collapsed, speaking about a man who picked it up and ran, just like he always did, what he always would do the one thing he did best. Run. Rose looked confused but then grinned seeing him there running the Doctor running up the stairs to start the Olympic games.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

It was now dark, Rita and Rose walked down the street waiting for the Doctor to appear, just like he always did. They were eating cakes and started to laugh noticing it had the decorations the Doctor was completely fascinated by earlier that day. Rita tapped Rose's arm seeing the Doctor walking down the street in front of them not noticing they were behind. "Cake?" They both said at the same time Rose holding out a cake similar to the one they had both eaten.

The Doctor turned around and started to laugh walking over to them, he took the cake and plunged into it laughing away. "Top banana. Mmm. I can't stress this enough. Ball bearings you can eat, masterpiece!" He grinned, they both laughed and hugged him happy that he was back.

"We thought we lost you," Rose muttered as they let him go and walked along side him.

"Nah. Not on a night like this. This is a night for lost things being found. Come on." He dragged them along finishing the cake and linking his arms with theirs.

"What now?" Rose asked.

"I want to go to the Games. It's what we came for."

"Maybe something different happens" Rita chuckled humming.

"Go on, give us a clue. Which events do we do well in?" Rose asked.

"Well, I will tell you this. Papua New Guinea surprises everyone in the shot put."

"Different to what I saw then" Rita laughed.

"Really? You're joking, aren't you?" The Doctor just laughed walking along not answering her question. "Doctor, are you serious or are you joking?"

"Wait and see." He told her. They looked up after hearing a bang and saw fireworks lightening the sky. They walked in silence just enjoying each others company before Rose spoke up.

"You know what? They keep on trying to split us up, but they never ever will." She beamed at them both and Rita forced a smile knowing what was coming next.

"Never say never ever." The Doctor told the blonde.

"Nah" She shrugged it off. "We'll always be okay, you, Rita and me. Don't you reckon, Doctor?" He looked up not answering, slight fear in his eyes, Rita gulped a little and swiftly moved her arm moving her hand to his and gently squeezing.

"There's something in the air. Something coming." He continued to look up, Rita could swear that he pulled her just a tiny bit closer but then assumed he didn't.

"What?" Rose asked sounding slightly terrified.

"A storm's approaching."
