Third POV

"What do you think of this? Will it do?" Rose said coming out in denim mini-dungarees.

"In the late 1970s? You'd be better off in a bin bag. Hold on, listen to this," the Doctor went and put a CD into a player, "Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Number One in 1979."

"You're a punk," Rose stated.

"It's good to be a lunatic."

"That's what you are. A big old punk with a bit of rockabilly thrown in."

"Would you like to see him?"

"How'd you mean? In concert?" Rose asked. Lily was looking through the portrait at Rose as if she was an idiot, her husband of course, needed to comment, "'Cause we're soooooo not in a time machine!" The Doctor pointed to James in response, "Sheffield it is," Rose answered.

"Hold on tight," he said and they took off, landing on the floor when they land, "1979. Hell of a year. Ivy! Are you coming?!" he suddenly screamed, "Yes!" they heard and the Doctor continued, "China invades Vietnam. The Muppet Movie. Love that film, so does Teddy. Margaret Thatcher. Urgh. Skylab falls to Earth, with a little help from me. Nearly took off my thumb," they stepped out, the Doctor immediately noticing what was wrong, Ivy quickly stepped out after with Teddy in her arms, Rose noticing she was in a long black dress, "And I like my thumb. I need my thumb. I'm very attached to," The sound of rifles were heard, "My thumb."

Rose, the Doctor, Ivy, and Teddy (who was hiding his face in his mom's neck), were surrounded, "1879. Same difference," the Doctor excused.

"Not really," Ivy said.

"You will explain your presence. And the nakedness of this girl," the leader motioned towards Rose, who was a bit offended.

"Are we in Scotland?" The Doctor asked in a Scottish accent, a Scottish accent that Ivy definitely approved of.

"How can you be ignorant of that?" the leader asked confused.

"Oh, we're, we're dazed and confused. We've been chasing this, this wee naked child, more naked than the actual child, over hill and over dale. Isn't that right, ya timorous beastie?" he directed the last bit towards Rose.

"Och, aye! I've been oot and aboot," Rose attempted the accent making the two older beings cringe and the toddler bury his head even more into his mother's neck.

"No, don't do that," the Doctor said.

"Hoots mon," she tried again.

"No, really don't. Really," Ivy finally spoke up.

"Will you identify yourself, sir?"

"I'm Doctor James McCrimmon, from the township of Balamory," he introduced, using a name of a past companion, "This is my wife Ivy, and our son Theodore," The Doctor introduced the other two, knowing Ivy would be looked down upon for a child out of wedlock, "I have my credentials, if I may," he got out his psychic paper, "As you can see, a Doctorate from the University of Edinburgh. I trained under Doctor Bell himself."

An upper class English accent was heard from a carriage that was nearby, "Let them approach,"

"I don't think that's wise, ma'am," the lead guard ad suggested.

"Let them approach," the lady repeated.

"You will approach the carriage, and show all due deference," the leader said to the trio, Ivy grabbed the Doctor by the arm, seeing his jaw clench at talking to her and Teddy like that. The door to the carriage was opened revealing, Queen Victoria. The Doctor and Ivy gave a small bow of the head, Ivy would've curtsied but she was holding a child, the Queen giving her an understanding look, "Rose, might I introduce her Majesty Queen Victoria. Empress of India and Defender of the Faith," the Doctor introduced.
