Groaning slightly from the blow to his back the Doctor shook his head then turned to the blonde beside him who was doing the same rubbing the back of her neck. Worrying the Doctor placed his hand there looking into her eyes through the darkness. "I'm fine." She reassured him knowing exactly what he was thinking. "Just hit my neck on you or one of the seats. Are you okay?"

"Arms, legs, neck, head, nose." He thought counting aloud. "I'm fine." He gave her a tight hug then poked his head up over the seats the Stone next to him looking around at the people scattered on the floor, Biff and Val were tightly hugging on the walkway between the rows of seats while Professor Hobbes was between a row of seats Dee Dee on the opposite side, Jethro was leaning against a seat in the walkway while the Hostess was on the floor. "Everyone else?" The Doctor looked around. "How are we?" He stood up helping the Stone to her feet the two of the squinting their eyes trying to see in the dark.

"Is everybody okay?" The Time Lady asked. Gaining no reply she repeated herself asking again.

"Earthquake." Professor Hobbes muttered ignoring her question. "Must be."

"But that's impossible." Dee Dee shook her head. "The ground is fixed. It's solid."

"We've got torches." The hostess informed passing out torches. The Doctor squinted his eyes at the light as a couple of the beams of light hit his eyes. "Everyone take a torch. They're in the back of the seats."

"Oh, Jethro. Sweetheart, come here." Val begged reaching out to her son who was shining a light at the front of the bus.

"Never mind me." He called over his shoulder. "what about her?"

The group all turned, the Doctor and the Stone shone the torches now in their hands in the direction Jethro was facing. The light allowed the horrific and terrifying view to show, the seats in the front two rows were ripped off as if a large knife sliced through the middle of them. Sky was crouched down holding her head and facing away from the group in the middle of the havoc. She looked to be shaking ever so slightly. "What happened to the seats?" Val questioned eyeing the fabric that remained.

"Who did that?" Biff shakingly asked.

"They've been ripped up."

The Doctor slowly walked over to the crouched woman, the Stone right beside him. The blonde crouched down slightly trying to reassure and calm the terrified blonde down. "It's all right, it's all right." She cooed. "We're all still alive."

"Look, the wall's still intact." The Doctor looked up showing the wall having a dent inwards but still holding together with no sign of rips or breaks. "Do you see?"

"Joe?" The hostess spoke into the comm trying to see if it would work. "Claude?"

"We're safe." The Doctor tried to comfort the woman.

"Driver Joe, can you hear me?" She asked. Hitting the comm down she stormed to the front of the bus to the driver's door. "I'm not getting any response. The intercom must be down." She hit the button for the driver door. Bright lights then flooded the cabin, the Doctor, the Stone and the other passengers shielded their eyes as alarms began to blare before the hostess managed to close the door.

"What happened?" Val asked gasping. "What was that?"

"Is it the driver?" Biff asked. "Have we lost the driver?"

"The cabin's gone." The Hostess breathed out sounding panicked.

"Don't be ridiculous." Professor Hobbes snapped at them all. "It can't be gone. How can it be gone?"

"Well, well, you saw it." Dee Dee said looking at him.

"There was nothing there like it was ripped away."

"What are you doing?" Biff turned shining his light at the Doctor and the Stone both crouched down in front of a panel, the Doctor flashed his sonic at it as the Stone held her touch giving him light but it wasn't bright enough.

"Ah, that's better." The Doctor muttered when the lights flickered on. "Little bit of light. Thank you." He tried to undo the panel. "Molto bene."

"Do you know what you're doing?" Val asked them both.

"The cabin's gone." Biff warned. "You'd better leave that wall alone."

"The cabin can't be gone." Professor Hobbes protested.

"It's fine." The Stone looked over her shoulder. "This is safe. Any rupture would automatically seal itself."

"But something sliced it off." The Doctor said as the Stone turned around giving the Doctor more light. "You're right, the cabin's gone."

"But if it gets separated?" The hostess dared to ask.

"It loses integrity." The Stone looked at them sadly. "They're gone."

"I'm sorry, they've been reduced to dust." The Doctor sadly shook his head. "The driver and the mechanic. But they sent a distress signal." He stepped past the seats with the Stone. "Help is on its way. They saved our lives. We are going to get out of here, we promise." The Stone nodded slowly. "We're still alive, and they are going to find us."

"Doctor, Stone, look at her." Jethro moved his light over at Sky who continued to stay crouched her head tucked in her hands which stayed over her head.

"Right... Yes... Sorry." He nodded. "Have we got a medical kit?" He asked the Stone moving her own torch on the woman.

"Why won't she turn around?"

"What was her name again?" Professor Hobbes asked. The Doctor and the Stone crouched by a chair looking at the woman.

"Silvestry." The hostess shakily answered. "Mrs Sky Silvestry."

"Sky?" The Doctor softly said to the woman. "Can you hear me?" Are you all right? Can you move, Sky? Just look at me."

"That noise from outside." Jethro muttered. "It's stopped."

"Well, thank God for that." Val breathed.

"But what if it's not outside anymore?" He wondered. "What if it's inside?"

"Inside?" Val started to panic moving her torch around. "Where?"

"It was heading for her." He nodded at Sky.

"Sky?" The Stone said softly.

"It's all right, Sky." The Doctor added. "I just want you to turn around, face me."

Slowly the woman removed her hands from her head and leisurely turned around before looking into the torchlight. Her head then snapped at the torchlight of the other passengers before snapping into the direction of the Stone and then the Doctor.

"Sky?" He said.

"Sky?" She repeated.

"Are you all right?"

"Are you all right?"

"Are you hurt?"

"Are you hurt?"

"You don't have to talk."

"You don't have to talk."

"I'm trying to help."

"I'm trying to help."

"My name's the Doctor, this is the Stone." He reintroduced himself and nodded his head at the blonde Time Lady beside him.

"My name's the Doctor, this is the Stone." She nodded her head in the same direction.

"Okay, can you stop?"

"Okay, can you stop?"

"I'd like you to stop."

"I'd like you to stop."

"Why's she doing that?" Professor Hobbes asked.

"Why's she doing that?" Sky repeated.

"She's gone mad." Biff stared at her.

"She's gone mad."

"Stop it." Val begged.

"Stop it."

"I said stop it." She then snapped at the woman.

"I said stop it."

"I don't think she can." Dee Dee muttered eyeing the woman.

"I don't think she can." Sky snapped her head in her direction.

"All right now, stop it." Professor Hobbes hissed at her. "This isn't funny."

"All right now, stop it. This isn't funny."

"Shush, shush, shush, all of you." The Doctor looked at them all.

"Shush, shush, shush, all of you."

"My name's Jethro."

"My name's Jethro."

"Jethro that isn't going to help anyone, please just be quiet." The Stone slightly glared at him, whatever was going on this was not a laughing matter.

"Jethro that isn't going to help anyone, please just be quiet." Sky repeated.

"Why are you repeating everything we say?" The Stone lent in slightly looking into the womans eyes frowning.

"Why are you repeating everything we say?"

"What is that, learning?" The Doctor asked.

"What is that, learning?"

"Copying?" The Stone wondered.

"Copying?"

"Absorbing?" The Doctor added.

"Absorbing?"

"The square root of pi is 1.772453850905516027298167483341." He said. "Wow."

"...483341. Wow." She overlapped his words only finishing the last of the numbers on her own.

"But that's impossible." Professor Hobbes breathed.

"But that's impossible."

"She couldn't repeat all that." Dee Dee looked at the Doctor.

"She couldn't repeat all that."

"Tell her to stop." Val begged.

"Tell her to stop."

"She's driving me mad."

"She's driving me mad."

"Just make her stop!" She shouted.

"Just make her stop!" The group apart from the Doctor and the Stone started to shout with Sky copying them. The Time Lords glanced at each other, the Stone looking quite terrified. She knew about millions of species in the universe there was definitely the odd few that she had no idea about at all, but she technically couldn't even 'see' it and that scared her. The Doctor noticed this and tightly squeezed her hand while the shouting grew making both of them try and quieten it.

"Now, just stop it, all of you." The Doctor cut in.

"Now, just stop it all of you." Sky snapped her head in his direction.

"Her eyes." Professor Hobbes pointed at her. "What's wrong with her eyes?"

"Her eyes. What's wrong with her eyes?"

"She can copy anything." Jethro muttered.

"She can copy anything."

"Biff, don't just stand there, do something." Val snapped. "Make her stop!"

"Biff, don't just stand there, do something. Make her stop!" Sky copied the womans tone.

"You're scaring my wife."

"You're scaring my wife."

"Mrs Silvestry."

"Mrs Silvestry."

"Six, six, six." Jethro laughed earning a glare from the Time Lady making his smile fall slightly at the serious look on her face.

"Six, six, six."

"Jethro that's enough." The Time Lady scolded the teen.

"Jethro that's enough."

"She's different." Biff started. "She's something else. Do something. Make her stop."

"Make her stop." Sky finished before the rest of the lights came back on silencing the group.

"That's the backup system." The hostess nodded switching off her torch.

"Well, that's a bit better." Biff muttered.

"What about the rescue?" Val asked the hostess. "How long's it going to take?"

"About sixty minutes, that's all."

While this conversation happend the Doctor and the Stone watched Sky who remained silent, no one had noticed the disappearance of her voice.

"Then I suggest we all calm down. This panic isn't helping. That poor woman is evidently in a state of..."

"...Self-induced hysteria. We should leave her alone." Sky spoke at exactly the same time as Professor Hobbes.

"Doctor... Stone..." Jethro worryingly looked over at both the Time Lords.

"We know." They both replied, the Stone slightly shivering, at any time but now she would have most likely given a small smile that they both said exactly the same thing almost at exactly the same time, given that she did know what it was. However, she didn't, neither of them knew what it was and it now was in sync with the professor and most likely the rest of the room, something she wasn't too keen on finding out what would happen next.

"Doctor, Stone now step back." Professtor Hobbes warned unaware of Sky speaking totally in sync with him. Starting and finishing at exactly the same time, knowing exactly what he was going to say. "I think you both should leave her..." He glanced at the woman seeing the horryfying smile on her face before muttering. "Alone... What's she doing?"

"How can she do that?" Val/Sky questioned. "She's talking with you... And with me." She gasped. "Oh, my God. Biff, what's she doing?"

"She's repeating, at exactly the same time." Biff/Sky said.

"That's impossible." Dee Dee's eye's widend as Sky spoke in sync with her.

"There's not even a delay." the Professor/Sky said.

"Oh man, that is weird." Jethro/Sky slightly shivered.

"I think we should all stop talking..." The Stone suggested carefully watching Sky who spoke with her.

"I agree." The Doctor/Sky nodded. "I think you should all be very, very quiet." He glanced at the other passengers. "Have you got that?"

"How's she doing it?"

"Mrs Cane, please be quiet." The Doctor softly pleaded the woman.

"How can she do that?" Val/Sky cried. "She's got my voice! She's got my words!"

"Come on, be quiet." Biff took his wife in his arms as she started to sob. "Hush, now. Hush. She's doing it to me." He looked up.

"Just stop it, all of you. Stop it, please." The Doctor/Sky quietened them. Glancing at the Time Lady who slowly nodded he crouched down in front of Sky. "Now then, Sky. Are you Sky?" He asked the woman still speaking with him. "Is Sky still in there? Mrs Silvestry? You know exactly what I'm going to say. How are you doing that?" He frowned slightly then started to 'experiment' with what was going on. "Roast beef. Bananas. The Medusa Cascade." Frowning again he leant out then back in. "Bang! Rose Tyler, Rita Stone, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, TARDIS!" The Doctor/Sky said. "Shamble bobble dibble dooble." He continued to experiment saying random words. "Oh, Doctor, you're so handsome." He smirked. "Yes, I am, thank you."

"Now isn't the time to boost your ego sweetheart." The Stone rolled her eyes, Sky in sync with her. "You can do that later."

The Doctor grinned at her for a moment before turning back to the woman his face becoming the serious expression he held before once again. "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O." He then stopped seeing that Sky had no problem in staying in sync with him. "First she repeats, then she catches up." He and Sky muttered, the Doctor in thought then glanced at the Stone who held her arms crossed against her chest, stood up watching the woman. "What's the next stage?"

"Normally I would love to find out and would be very much intrigued by this, I blame you for that." She nodded at the Doctor closely watching Sky who spoke perfectly in time as she did before. "But this has danger written all over it, danger that I really don't like." She gave the Doctor a look that told him that she was very much terrified.

"Next stage of what?" The professor/Sky asked completely ignoring what the TimeLady had just said.

"That's not her, is it." Jethro/Sky asked the Doctor. "That's not Mrs Silvestry anymore."

"I don't think so, no." The Doctor stood up standing beside the Time Lady and glancing back at the woman staring at him, muttering his words in time with him. "I think the more we talk, the more she learns." He quietly explained. "Now, I'm all for education, but in this case like the Stone said, maybe not. Let's just move back." He started to slowly move to the back of the bus the others moving backwards as well. "Come on. Come with us." He/Sky said taking the Stone's hand. "Everyone, get back. All of you, as far as you can."

"Doctor, Stone make her stop." Val pleaded. The Stone moved over to the woman putting her arm around her shoulder and slowly moved towards the Doctor. 

"Val I promise I won't let it hurt you okay?" She looked her dead in the eye. "I always keep my promises." She saw the distressed woman glancing at Sky. "Val you need to stop looking at her okay?" the Stone/Sky said in a calm soft voice. "I promise you." She repeated before stepping away the Doctor giving a small smile before he noticed Jethro staring at the woman.

"Jethro." He called. "You too. Everyone, come on." The Doctor/Sky said. "Fifty minutes, that's all we need. Fifty minutes till the rescue arrives" He whispered to them. "And she's not exactly strong. Look at her. All she's got is our voices."

"I can't... I can't look at her." Val blinked back tears shaking. "It's those eyes."

"We must not look at goblin men." Dee Dee/Sky muttered.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Val/Sky questioned.

"It's a poem." The Stone/Sky answered.

"Christina Rossetti." The Doctor/Sky added.

"We must not look at goblin men. We must not buy their fruits. Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry, thirsty roots?"

"Actually," The Doctor turned to her Sky still speaking in sync with them all. "I don't think that's helping."

"She's not a goblin, or a monster." The Professor/Sky snapped. "She's just a very sick woman."

"Maybe that's why it went for her." Jethro/Sky wondered.

"There is no it." The professor/Sky hissed at the boy.

"Think about it though." Jethro looked at him. "That knocking went all the way round the bus until it found her. And she was the most scared out of all of us. Maybe that's what it needed. That's how it got in."

"For the last time." The professor raised his voice, Sky doing the same. "Nothing can live on the surface of Midnight."

"Professor, I'm glad you've got an absolute definition of life in the universe, but perhaps the universe has got ideas of its own, hmm?" The Doctor and Sky both raised a brow. "Now trust me, I've got previous." He said. "I think there might well be some consciousness inside Mrs Silvestry, but maybe she's still in there. And it's our job to help her."

"Well, you two can help her. I'm not going near."

"No, the Stone and I have got to stay back, because if she's copying us, then maybe the final stage is becoming us." The Doctor looked at the Stone worryingly who gave a small nod, she thought this from the very start and really didn't want it to be true. "I don't want her becoming me or the Stone, or things could get a whole lot worse."

"Oh, like you two are so special." Val/Sky glared at them both.

"As it happens, yes, we are. So that's decided."

"We should all stay back here and wait." The Stone/Sky cut in glaring at the Doctor a little for his massive ego that had to go and say that they were special. They were all scared, running around saying that they were 'important' would get them nowhere. "When the rescue ship comes, we can get her to hospital."

"We should throw her out." The hostess/Sky quietly muttered making the TimeLords snap their heads in her direction.

"I beg your pardon?" Professor Hobbes eyes widend at what she said.

"Can we do that?" Val/Sky questioned.

"Don't be ridiculous." The Doctor looked between them angrily.

"That thing, whatever it is, killed the driver, and the mechanic, and I don't think she's finished yet."

"She can't even move." The Doctor protested pointing at Sky who was at the other end of the bus watching the group, still talking in time with them all.

"Look at her. Look at her eyes. She killed Joe, and she killed Claude, and we're next.

"She's still doing it." Biff/Sky angrily snapped. He stormed forward towards the woman on the floor forcing himself to stop before he got too close. "Just stop it! Stop talking. Stop it!"

"Biff, don't, sweetheart." Val reached out for her husban.

"But she won't stop!" Biff/Sky shouted. "We can't throw her out, though. We can't even open the doors."

"No one is getting thrown out." The Doctor gritted his teeth warning the man.

"Yes, we can." Dee Dee/Sky spoke up. "Because there's an air pressure seal. Like when you opened the cabin door, you weren't pulled out. You had a couple of seconds, because it takes the pressure wall about six seconds to collapse. Well, six seconds exactly. That's enough time to throw someone out."

"Thanks for that Dee Dee." The Stone/Sky sarcastically replied. "That's exactly what we need."

"Would it kill her outside?" Val asked.

"I don't know." Dee Dee/Sky replied. "But she's got a body now. It would certainly kill the physical form."

"No one is killing anyone." The Doctor/Sky warned again.

"I wouldn't risk the cabin door twice, but we've got that one." The hostess/Sky suggested. "All we need to do is grab hold of her and throw her out."

"Now, listen, all of you." The Doctor/Sky snapped. "For all, we know that's a brand new life form over there." He pointed at Sky. "And if it's come inside to discover us, then what's it found? This little bunch of humans. What do you amount to, murder? Because this is where you decide. You decide who you are. Could you actually murder her?" He looked between them as they blankly stared back at him. "Any of you? Really? Or are you better than that?"

There was a short pause before the hostess/SKy spoke up. "I'd do it."

"So would I." Biff/Sky added.

"And me." Said Val/Sky

"I think we should." Dee Dee/Sky nodded in agreement with the others.

The Time Lords stared at the group eyes wide. "What?"

"I want her out." Dee Dee glanced at Sky for a moment before turning away.

"You can't say that." The Doctor stared at her.

"I'm sorry, but you said it yourself, Doctor. She is growing in strength."

"That is not what he said." The Stone/Sky coldly replied, she believed just as much as the Doctor did of Sky Silvestry still being somewhere inside, trapped and they had to help her, the others wanted her out, all they needed to do was hold the other passengers off until the rescue truck arrived then they both could try and help the woman.

"I want to go home." Dee Dee started to quietly sob. "I'm sorry. I want to be safe."

"You'll be safe any minute now." The Doctor promised. "The rescue truck is on its way."

"But what happens then, Doctor?" The hostess/Sky questioned him. "If it takes that thing back to the Leisure Palace, if that thing reaches civilisation. What if it spreads?"

"No, because when we get back to the base, I'll be there to contain it."

"You haven't done much so far." Val narrowed her eyes at him.

"You're just standing in the back with the rest of us." Biff backed up his wife.

"She's dangerous." The hostess hissed. "It's my job to see that this vessel is safe, and we should get rid of her."

"Now, hang on." The professor spoke up. "I think perhaps we're all going a little bit too far."

The Stone gave out a sigh as the Doctor relaxed a little. "At last. Thank you."

"Two people are dead." The hostess snapped.

"Don't make it a third." The Stone glared at the woman.

"Jethro, what do you say?" The Doctor/Sky turned to the teen who was quiet throughout the conversation.

"I'm not killing anyone."

"Thank you." He nodded.

"He's just a boy." Val/Sky snapped

"What, so I don't get a vote?" Jethro looked at his mother.

"There isn't a vote." The Doctor/Sky groaned out in annoyance. "It's not happening. Ever. If you try to throw her out that door, you'll have to get past me first." He stepped forward.

"Okay." The hostess nodded accepting the challenge.

"Fine by me." Biff agreed.

"Now you're all being stupid!" The Stone glared at them all taking the Doctors hand slightly worried of what might happen if she let go of him.

"Just think about it." The Doctor/SKy looked between the humans. "Could you actually take hold of someone and throw them out of that door?"

"Calling me a coward?" Biff stepped forward nose to nose with the Doctor both of them glaring at the other before he stepped back a little.

"Who put you in charge, anyway?" The Hostess eyes him.

"I'm sorry, but you're a Doctor of what, exactly?" Hobbes/Sky frowned.

"He wasn't even booked in, neither was she." The Hostess nodded at the Doctor then the Stone. "The rest of you, tickets in advance. They just turned up out of the blue."

"Where from?" Val/Sky looked between them.

"We're just travelling." The Doctor said. "We're travellers, that's all."

"Like immigrants?"

"Who were you two talking to?" The Hostess/Sky asked. "Before you got on board, you were both talking to someone. Who was that?"

"That's Donna" the Stone cut in. "She's our friend."

"And what were you both saying to her?" Biff raised a brow at them.

"They haven't even told us their names." Val glared at the two.

"The thing is though, Doctor, Stone, you've been loving this." Jethro/Sky spoke up.

"Oh, Jethro, not you." The Doctor winced.

"No, but ever since all the trouble started, you've been loving it."

"It has to be said, you do seem to have a certain glee." Professor Hobbes said.

"All right, were interested." The Doctor nodded. "Yes, We can't help it. Because whatever's inside her, it's brand new, and that's fascinating." He pointed at Sky with his free hand.

"What, you wanted this to happen?" Val asked sounding angry.

"No." They both protested.

"And you were talking to her, the both of you all on your own, before all the trouble." Biff snapped. "Right at the front, you were talking to that Sky woman, the three of you together. I saw you."

"We all did." Val/Sky growled at them.

"And you went into the cabin."

"What were you saying to her?" Biff interrogated them both.

"We were just talking." The Doctor protested.

"Saying what?"

"You called us humans like you're not one of us." Jethro eyes them both mainly the Doctor, the Stone always tried to be careful when mentioning things like that, she came to learn that many people didn't take it too warmly to find out aliens were real or that someone they knew was one.

"He did." Val snapped. "That's what he said."

"And the wiring." Dee Dee snapped. "They went into that panel and opened up the wiring."

"That was after." The Stone pointed out.

"But how did you know what to do?"

"Because we're clever!" The Doctor then shouted.

"That's not the best thing you have said." The Stone whispered to him after a long pause of the other passengers glaring and staring at him.

"I see." Professor Hobbes muttered. "Well, that makes things clear."

"And what are we, then? Idiots?" Biff/Sky hissed.

"That's not what he meant." The Stone cut in.

"If you're clever, then what are we?" Dee Dee/Sky questioned.

"You've been looking down on us from the moment we walked in." Val said.

"Even if he goes, he's practically volunteered." The hostess said. The Stone looked over in alarm and tightened her grip on the Doctors hand.

"Oh come on, just listen to yourself, please." He groaned.

"Do you mean we throw him out as well?" Biff looked at the hostess.

"If we have to."

"Over my dead body." The Stone hissed at them making her grip even tighter on his hand most likely causing slight pain, as long as he was beside her she could deal with the pain and apologise about his hand later.

"Look, just..." He carefully thought about his words gently moving the Stone back towards him after she moved in front of him not even noticing herself of what she was doing. "Right, sorry, yes, hold on, just... I know you're scared, and so am I." He held his hands up still tightly holding the Stones hand in his right. "Look at me, I am. But we have all got to calm down and cool off and think."

"Perhaps you could tell us your name." The hostess looked at him.

"What does it matter?"

"Then tell us."

"John Smith." He quickly replied.

"Your real name." The hostess/Sky repeated clearer for him.

"He's lying." Biff pointed at him. "Look at his face."

"His eyes are the same as hers." Val/Sky said as she looked between him and the woman on the floor speaking in sync with them.

"Why won't you tell us?"

"It's a simple enough question."

"He's been lying to us right from the start, they both have." Val then looked at the Stone.

"What's your name?"

"No one's called John Smith. Come off it." Biff/Sky scoffed.
"Now listen to me" the Doctor held up his hands again then noticed something wrong in the corner of his eye as. "Stone?" Blinking a couple of times she shook her head at him the Doctor worryingly glancing at her. "I'm fine." She tried to reassure him forcing a smile. "I promise I'm fine." She told him again after the Doctor didn't look very convinced the first time. To be honest she wasn't very convinced either, the Stone had felt a sharp pain in her mind as if something was trying to force itself inside, something that felt very violent, something that definitely wasn't the Doctor, seeing That he was completely fine with it having no effect at all she shrugged it off as nothing and just the stress of the subject as well as Biff threatening to throw the Doctor out. Raising her mental shields higher than they were before which was just enough for the Doctor and her to telepathically communicate she gave a final nod up at him while he continued to look at her slightly worried.

"Listen to me right now, because you need us, all of you." He looked at the passengers. "If we are going to get out of this, then you need us."

"So you keep saying. You've been repeating yourself more than her." Professor Hobbes looked at him.

"If anyone's in charge, it should be the Professor. He's the expert"

"Mum, stop. Just look." Jethro stared at Sky.

"You keep out of this, Jethro." Biff looked at his son.

"Look at her!" He shouted pointing at Sky who was silent.

"She's stopped." Dee Dee breathed.

"When did she?" The Doctor looked at her. "No, she hasn't. She's still doing it."

"She looks the same to me... No, she's stopped. Look, I'm talking, and she's not."

"What about me, is she? Look." He started to beam. "Look at that. She's not doing me. She's let me go."

"Mrs Silvestry?" The hostess tested. "Nor me. Nothing."

The Doctor glanced at the Stone who raised a brow. "Why would she do that?" She asked watching for if Sky was still talking with her. "She's not doing it to me..."

"Sky, what are you doing?" The Doctor/Sky said.

"She's still doing him." Dee Dee looked between the Doctor and Sky.

"Doctor, it's you." Professor Hobbes looked at him. "She's only copying you."

"Thank you professor." The Stone casted him a look of annoyance.

"Why me?" He frowned stepping a little closer before the Stone grabbed his arm. "Why are you doing this?"

"Sweetheart I really do not like this." She quietly warned him. "Please don't."

"She won't leave him alone." Dee Dee stared at Sky.

"Do you see? I said so. She's with him."

"They're together."

"They are not together." The Stone said over her shoulder glaring at Biff.

"How do you explain it, Doctor, if you're so clever?"

"Professor!" The Stone snapped.

"I don't know." The Doctor/Sky muttered. "Sky, stop it." He ordered. "I said stop it. Just stop it!"

"Look at the two of them." Val scoffed.

"Mrs Silvestry, I'm trying to understand." The Doctor knelt down, something the Stone wasn't very keen about. "You've captured my speech. What for? What do you need? You need my voice in particular. The cleverest voice in the room. But there is the Stone so why?" He questioned staring at her. "Because I'm the only one who can help? But again there is the Stone, she loves to help. Oh, I'd love that to be true, but your eyes, they're saying something else." He rambled on, normally the Stone would enjoy seeing him rambling since it did usually get them out of bad situations, but with something that used voice to gain 'power' she wasn't enjoying this. "Listen to me. Whatever you want, if it's life, or form, or consciousness, or voice, you don't have to steal it. You can find it without hurting anyone. And I'll help you. That's a promise. So, what do you think?" He paused.

"Do we have a deal?" Sky said.

"Do we have a deal?" The Doctor added a moment after Sky.
