Rise of the Cybermen

"And that weird munchkin lady with the big eyes," the Doctor laughed, causing Tyra to roll her eyes. Both the Doctor and Rose had been going on and on about previous adventures for what felt like hours already "Do you remember? The way she looked at you... And then she opens her mouth and fire comes out."

Rose burst into laughed, nodding her head "I thought I was going to get frazzled."

"Yeah. One minute she's standing there and the next minute, roar," the Doctor mimicked.

Mickey looked from the Doctor to Rose and then to Tyra "Yeah... When was that, then? What happened?"

"Trust me, Mickey," Tyra spoke up for the first time, thoroughly annoyed at the two for baiting Mickey "You don't want to know. In fact, I don't want to hear it. The three of us were there. Can you shut up and be done with it?"

"Someone is pissy today," Rose muttered, looking at Tyra with narrowed eyes. She leaned closer to the Doctor, trying to prove a point she had been thinking about a lot.

Tyra snorted at the thought that Rose was trying to make her jealous "Look, Rose. The only purpose this whole thing serves is to make Mickey ask questions because he was the only one not there..."

The Doctor looked at Mickey, seeing him holding down a button "Er, what're you doing that for?"

"Because you told me to," he shot back, slowly getting pissed once he realised that Tyra was right. Both Mickey and the Doctor had been getting along for the past few adventures but Mickey had a feeling that was about to change.

"When was that?" the Doctor frowned in confusion.

Mickey raised an eyebrow "About half an hour ago."

"Er," the Doctor winced "You can let go now."

Tyra clenched her fists "You're impossible," she forced out "Mickey, ignore them. They are just being idiots again. At least this time it won't get them banished."

Mickey perked up "Now that is something I'd love to hear about."

"You would have been banished too," Rose huffed "If you hadn't cosied up to the Queen."

"Are you trying to say that I slept with Queen Victoria?" Tyra tilted her head "Because I can assure you that I did no such thing."

Rose grimaced "No. I'm trying to say that you have an unfair advantage."

"You mean the same advantage the Doctor would have if he wasn't himself and somehow manages to piss off every monarch he comes across."

The Doctor pouted "I'll have you know that I don't piss off every monarch."

"Just most of them then?" Tyra shot back.

"I always know exactly what I'm doing," he mumbled. As if the universe heard him, the time rotor blew up as soon as he finished the sentence.

"What happened?" Rose coughed.

The Doctor ran around the console, staring at the reading in shock "The Time Vortex is gone. That's impossible. It's just gone. Brace yourself! We're going to crash." The Tardis came to a sudden stop, throwing all of them around. Tyra let out a groan when her head hit one of the coral with a strength that could have broken her neck easily "Everyone alright? Tyra? Rose? Mickey?"

"I'm fine," Mickey replied instantly "I'm okay. Sorry. Yeah."

"Tyra?" The Doctor looked over where she had fallen when she didn't reply. She was sitting up, looking vaguely sick for a moment before her face lost the green hue.
