A/N: Hey everyone. Welcome to my latest creation. For months now, I've been thinking of a second story. This story is going to be different. I don't think there are any rewrite fan-fictions where an OC takes over for a companion. That's what this story is. Liv and Maddie from the Disney Channel show of the same name are going to be taking over for ALL of the companions, at least that's the plan for now. It might change once I get done with Rose. Some episodes will be skipped and some episodes re-edited to fit Liv and Maddie's universe and to make them the Doctor's only companions. If you are not familiar with either Liv and Maddie or Doctor Who then I would suggest visiting Wikipedia and YouTube. For those of you who are fans of "Teddy Duncan: Time Lady." don't worry. I'm going to try on work on both stories at the same time. This plot bunny has been in my head for a while and I just needed to get it out. And Now on with the show…

Liv and Maddie Rooney were 18 year old identical twins from Stevens Point, Wisconsin and they couldn't be more different.

Liv was a girly girl and when she was younger she was the star of her own TV show "Sing it Loud"

Maddie was a tomboy and the captain of her high school's girl's basketball team.

But there was one thing the two had in common. They both loved each other very much.

They had a pretty normal home life. Their Dad was Maddie's basketball coach. Their Mom was the school guidance councilor. They had a 17 year old brother named Joey and a 12 year old brother Parker.

Liv and Maddie had just graduated from High School. They were looking forward to starting college in the fall. They were both going to the University of Wisconsin. Maddie was going on a full ride basketball scholarship while Liv was using the money she made during her acting career to go to school. Little did they know that there lives were going to change in ways they could have never imagine.

Maddie wanted to make some extra money during the summer so she got a part time job in the sporting goods department of a store in the mall. At closing time one night in June, Liv came to pick her up, "Hey, Maddie? Ready to go?"

"Yep… but first I've got to drop the lottery money off with my boss Will. Let me give him a call and find out were he's at…" Maddie unclipped the department cell phone off her belt and dialed her boss' extension. "Come on… Pick up…" She hung up the phone, "Where is he? Come on…"

Maddie took her sister down to the basement where the offices were located. She found her boss' and started to knock, "Will? It's Maddie… I have the lottery money… I can't stay they are locking up the store… Uhh… Where is he?!"

Just then there was a noise down the hall, "What was that?" asked Liv

"I don't know," said Maddie, "Will? Is that you?" The two girls slowly walked down the hall and reached a door that was cracked open. They walked inside and saw it was the mannequin storage room. Maddie turned the light on and the sisters walked in the room, "Will? Will?"

They walked cross the room to another door. It was locked. Then the door the sisters entered through closed. The girls looked at each other and ran across the room. They tried to open the door but it was locked, "Is someone playing a joke?" asked Maddie.

The girls walked into the room, "OK… this isn't funny," said Liv, "I don't even work here…" Behind the sisters, a mannequin slowly turned its head. The girls turned around just in time to see it step out of its position and walk towards them. They started to back away, Maddie laughed, "Heh... you got us, very funny…"

The mannequin didn't say anything it, it just kept moving forward and two more joined it, "Okay," said Liv," We got the joke!"

"Who's idea was this?" asked Maddie, "Was it Derek's? " The mannequins continued to walk toward them. Liv looked behind them and saw another coming behind them. "Derek, is this your idea?"

Then all of the mannequins in the room came to life and started to walk toward them. The twins started to back away from them. Liv tripped over a box. Maddie helped her up and they were backed against a wall. A pair of mannequins lifted their arms up read to hit them. The sisters joined hands and closed there eyes waiting for the blow. Then a hand grabbed Maddie's hand. Maddie opened her eyes and saw a man wearing a leather jacket, a very short black hair, and big ears. "Run…" in a British accent.

The man pulled Maddie's arm and Maddie pulled Liv's arm and they ran out of the room. The started to run down the hallway hand in hand. The girls looked behind them and saw the mannequins coming for them. The Doctor took them into the elevator. One of the mannequins put it's arm in the door and the door closed on it. The man pulled the arm off and the doors closed.

"You pulled his arm off!" said Maddie.

"Yep!" said the man, he tossed it to Maddie, "Plastic."

"Nice trick!" said Liv, "So who were they college students from UW-SP? Was that a college thing?"

"Why would they be students?" asked the man.

Liv was a bit taken aback "I don't know…"

"Well, you said it! Why students?"

"'Because... to get that many people dressed up... they got to be college students. "

The man smiled, "That makes sense! Well done."

Liv smiled back and twisted a strand of hair with her fingers, "Thanks." Maddie rolled her eyes.

The man's smiled went away, "They're not students."

"Well, whoever they are, when Will finds them, he's gonna call the police," said Maddie.

"Who's Will?" asked the man.

"He's my boss… The manager of the sporting goods department."

"Will's dead."

The elevator came to a stop and he walked out. The twins followed him, "That's just not funny, that's sick!"

"Hold on!" said the man. He pushed the girls to the side, "Mind your eyes."

"What?" asked Liv.

"Look away."

The man took out device that looked like a large pen light with a blue light at the end. The girls covered their eyes and the controls of the elevator sparked.

"Okay," said Maddie, "I think we need some answers." The man just walked off, "Hey!" said Maddie as the girls started to follow, "Who are you? Who's was that group in the basement? I said, who are they?"

The man stopped and looked at the girls, "They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device in the roof. Which would be a great big problem if I didn't have this." He showed the girls an electronic device, "So!" he opened a door that led outside, "I'm going to go up there and blow them up, and I might well die in the process. But don't worry about me, no. Go home, go on! Go and have your lovely beans on toast."

"Ew," said Liv, "Beans on toast?"

"Or what ever you Americans eat… I don't spend a lot of time in America." said the man as he escorted the girls out the door, "Don't tell anyone about this, because if you do, you'll get them killed." Then he closed the door. Liv and Maddie looked at each other. Then the door opened again, "I'm The Doctor, by the way. What are your names?"

"Liv."

"Maddie."

"Nice to meet you, Liv & Maddie." said The Doctor. Then he wiggled the device, "Run for your lives." He shut the door again.

The twins looked at each other and ran. They ran around to the front of the building and headed to Liv's car. Once they were away from the building a safe distance they stopped.

"Do you think that guy was telling the truth?" asked Liv, as they caught their breath.

Maddie laughed a little, "No… He was just trying to scare us… I think you were right the first time it was just some crazy college prank…" Just then there was an huge explosion on the roof of the mall, "But, I could be wrong…"

Later, they were sitting in their living room. Their parents and brother were on their phones handling the onslaught of calls from friends and family when they heard about what happened at the mall. Liv and Maddie were watching the news coverage of the fire at the mall.

The reporter on TV said, "The whole of area around the Stevens Point Mall has been closed off as police investigate the fire. Earlier reports in the... " The mannequin arm was laying on the couch next to Maddie.

"I know, it's on the TV!" said their father, Pete, on the phone, as he walked through the room.

"It's everywhere!" said their mother, Karen, "They are both lucky to be alive!" she hand them each a mug of tea and then headed back to the kitchen.

Just then the doorbell rang, "I'll get it," said Maddie, as she got up off the couch. She opened the door and saw her boyfriend, Diggie. Maddie smiled and gave him a hug, "Oh, it's so good to see you."

Diggie hugged her back, "I heard about what happened on the radio on the way over." Maddie broke the hug and let Diggie come in, "Are you both ok?" He asked as the walked over to the sitting area in front of the TV. Maddie sat back on the couch between the arm and Liv, and Diggie sat in a chair.

"Yeah, we're fine," said Liv, "a little shaken up but we'll be fine."

"What happened?"

"Not really sure…" said Maddie, "Liv came to pick me up. We went looking for my boss Will to drop off the lottery money. We couldn't fine him, so we left and when we got outside there was a big explosion on the roof."

Liv and Maddie talked about it on the way home. They decided they wouldn't talk about their run in with the strange man who called himself The Doctor.

Just the twins' brother, Parker, came in the room, "I've got my friend Doug on the phone. His dad works for the paper. They will pay you five hundred bucks each for an interview!"

Liv smiled, "Really?" she giggled. She got up and took the phone from her brother. Then she took the phone from her brother and the look on her face turned to one that said, 'Are you serious?,' then she hug up the phone. Then she sat back down next to her sister.

"You guys are wasting an golden opportunity!" Just then Parker's phone rang again and he answered it, "Yeah, Steve… They are still alive.." Then he walked out of the room.

Maddie then looked at Diggie, "I know we were supposed to go out tonight but do you think we can do it another night? I really don't feel like going out."

Diggie smiled, "Sure that's fine." Diggie stood and Maddie stood they hugged and kissed, "I love you, Rooney."

Maddie smiled, "I love you too Diggie. Oh… One thing…" She picked up the arm off the couch, "Get rid of that... "

"Sure," said Diggie, "See you later… Bye Liv…" he said as he waved at her with the arm.

Liv smiled, "Bye Diggie…" Then Diggie walked out.

Then Liv and Maddie turned back to the TV, the reporter said, "...fire then spread to the rest of the store... Fortunately there was only minor damage to the other stores in the mall."

The next morning, Liv and Maddie were in the living room watching the morning news. Their mom walked in. "I'm going to head out… Are you two going to be OK?"

Maddie looked at her mom and smiled, "Sure… We'll be fine…"

"OK," she said. Then she hugged both of her girls and walked out.

Just then they heard a rattling noise coming from the kitchen. The girls looked at each other. They got up and slowly went to the kitchen. They saw the screws meant to keep the cat door closed were, on the floor. They walked toward the door and jumped when they saw the cat door move. The twins looked at each other. Then, Maddie then got on to the floor and slowly opened cat door and was surprised to see the face of The Doctor.

Maddie jumped to her feet and opened the door. "What're you doing here?" asked The Doctor.

"I live here," said Maddie

"Well, what do you do that for?"

"Because I do! And I'm only at home because someone blew up my job."

The Doctor took out his device, "Must've got the wrong signal. You're not plastic, are you?" he knocked on Maddie's forehead, "No, bonehead. Bye, then! "

He tried to walk away but Maddie pulled him inside, "You aren't going anywhere…"

"Hello, Liv…" said The Doctor.

"Hello, Doctor," said Liv, "Can I get you some coffee?"

"Might as well, thanks! Just milk."

Liv smiled and went to get to get The Doctor some coffee, "Go make yourself comfortable in the living room."

The Doctor smiled and walked into the living room.

Maddie was flabbergasted, "What are you doing?"

"What? I'm just getting our guest some coffee." she said as she got the milk out of the fridge.

"Our guest blew up the store I worked at!" said Maddie.

"Well that doesn't mean we can't be friendly to him," Maddie rolled her eyes and Liv continued, "Besides don't you want a bit more explanation as to why he blew up the store?"

"Yes…"

"Alright then.." said Liv as she poured three cups of coffee.

"What's that then?" said The Doctor, called from the other room, "You got a cat?"

"No... " said called Liv, "We did have one but she died a few years ago." She handed her sister a cup of coffee while she carried two of them and they walked into the living room and saw The Doctor struggling with the plastic arm.

"I thought I told Diggie to throw that away?" said Maddie.

Liv put the coffee down on the coffee table, "Honestly, give a man a plastic hand... anyway, we don't even know your name, Doctor... what was it?"

The Doctor threw the hand off of him and if few across the room and attached itself to Liv's face. She screamed and The Doctor and Maddie ran over and tried to pull it off of her. The three of them crashed onto the coffee table, breaking it, and roll onto the floor. The Doctor pushes her back onto the sofa and gets out his device, he pointed it at the arm and it stopped moving. The Doctor picked up he arm. "It's alright, I've stopped it. There you go, you see?" he tossed it to Maddie, "'Armless."

"You think?" asked Maddie. Then, she hit him on the shoulder with the arm.

"Ow! Well, if your going to be like that…" The Doctor took the arm, turned toward the front door and walked out.

The twins looked at each other and followed him, "Hold on," said Maddie, "you can't just go running off."

"Yes I can," said The Doctor, "Here I am, this is me, running off. See ya!"

"That arm was moving, it tried to kill me!" said Liv.

"Ten out of ten for observation."

"You can't just walk away," said Maddie, "You've got to tell us what's going on."

"No I don't," said The Doctor.

"Alright then. We'll go to the police. We'll tell everyone. You said, if we did that, we'd get people killed. So, your choice. Tell us, or we'll start talking."

"Is that supposed to sound tough?"

"Yes," said Maddie with her arms crossed across her chest, "Sort of."

"Doesn't work."

"Who are you?"

"I told you! The Doctor."

"Yeah. But Doctor what?" asked Liv.

"Just The Doctor."

"The Doctor."

"Hello!"

"Is that supposed to sound impressive?"

"Sort of."

"Come on," said Maddie, "You can tell us. We've seen enough. Are you the police?"

"No," said The Doctor, "I was just passing through. I'm a long way from home."

"But what have I done wrong? How come those plastic things keep coming after me?" asked Liv.

"Oh! Suddenly the entire world revolves around you!"

"Not suddenly…"

"You and your sister were just an accident, you two got in the way, that's all."

"It tried to kill me!"

"It was after me, not you! Last night, in the shop, I was there, you two blundered it. Almost ruined the whole thing. This morning, I was tracking it down, it was tracking me down... the only reason it fixed on you is that you met me."

"So, what you're saying is, the entire world revolves around you," said Maddie.

"Sort of, yeah." said The Doctor.

"You're so full of it!"

"Sort of, yeah."

"But, all this plastic stuff - who else knows about it?" asked Liv.

"No one," said The Doctor.

"What, You're by yourself?"

"Well, who else is there? I mean, you lot, all you do is eat chips, go to bed, watch telly, check your updates on Twitter! When all the time, underneath you, there's a war going on!"

Maddie took the arm from him, "Okay, start from the beginning. You keep saying this is living plastic, and I don't even believe that, but if I did... how did you kill it?"

"The thing controlling it projects life into the arm. I cut off the signal, dead," said The Doctor.

"So that's remote controlled?" asked Liv.

"Thought control."

"Who's controlling it?"

"Long story."

"But why mannequins?" asked Maddie, "Is someone trying to take over Wisconsin's malls?"

They laughed, and The Doctor said, "No."

"I know."

"It's not a price war," said The Doctor as he got serious, "They want to overthrow the human race and destroy you. Do you believe me?"

"No."

He looked at Liv, "Do you believe me?"

"No."

"But you're both still listening," said The Doctor.

The twins stopped and looked at each other, while The Doctor kept walking. "Tell us, Doctor," said Liv, "Who are you?"

The Doctor stopped, "Do you know like we were saying? About the Earth revolving?" Then he walked back to the girls, "It's like when you were a kid. The first time they tell you the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it because everything looks like it's standing still. I can feel it." he took Liv's hand, "The turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at sixty-seven thousand miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're falling through space, us three. Clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go…"Then he let go of Liv's hand, "That's who I am. Now, forget me, Liv & Maddie Rooney." he took the arm back and waved it in their face, "Go home. " Then he walked away.

Liv & Maddie watched the Doctor walk away toward a blue box. Then they started to walk back home. They heard a strange grinding noise. The ran back to where they last saw The Doctor and didn't see anything and the blue box was gone. They looked around and then headed back home.

Once the twins got home they headed upstairs to their room and went to Liv's laptop. She went to Google and typed in, 'Doctor.' she didn't get anything relevant.

"Try 'Doctor Living Plastic'" said Maddie. Liv typed in what her sister asked and still nothing, "Try 'Doctor Blue Box'" Maddie suggested.

Liv typed it in and the first result read, "Doctor Who - do you know this man? Contact Clive here…" Liv clicked on it and a web page with a blurry photograph of The Doctor and words "Have you seen this man? Contact Clive" . She clicks on 'Contact Clive'.

It turned out that Clive lived in Stevens Point. So, later that afternoon, Liv and Maddie were sitting in Diggie's car outside Clive's house. "You're not coming in?" asked Maddie, "He's safe, he's got a wife and kids."

"And, who told you that?" asked Diggie, "He did. That's exactly what an Internet lunatic murderer would say. "

Liv and Maddie rolled their eyes and got out of the car and walked to the door. Liv knocked and a boy about 11 opened the door, "Hi," said Liv, "We've come to see Clive? We've been emailing back and forth."

"Dad! It's a couple of your nuts!" said the boy as he walked away.

Just then a large white man walked down the stairs, "Sorry about that," said the man," Hello."

"Hi, I'm Liv and this is my sister Maddie."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Clive."

"I should tell you," said Maddie, "my boyfriend's waiting in the car, just in case you're going to kill us! "

They laughed, "You don't need to worry about that," said Clive, "He gave Diggie a wave. Diggie nodded but still had a distrustful look on his face.

"Who is it?" asked a woman from upstairs.

"Oh it's something to do with The Doctor! Two young ladies have been reading the website. Please come in, my office is in shed in the backyard." Clive led the girls inside.

Clive's wife came down the stairs carrying a laundry basket. "Ladies? They read the website about the Doctor? They are shes?" then she closed the door.

When they got to the shed, Clive showed them around. The shed was a shrine to the Doctor. "A lot of this stuff's quite sensitive," said Clive, "I couldn't just send it to you. People might intercept it, if you know what I mean. If you dig deep enough, and keep a open mind - this Doctor keeps popping up all over the place. Political diaries, conspiracy theories. Even ghost stories. No first name, no last name. Just 'The Doctor'. Always The Doctor. And the title seems to have been passed down from father to son. That's your Doctor there, isn't it?" He points to a photo of the Doctor on a computer screen behind them.

"Yeah," said Maddie.

"I tracked it down to the Washington public archive last year," said Clive, :The online photo's enhanced, but if we look at the original... " He handed the girls some photographs The Doctor standing in a crowd at the time and place of the assassination of JFK. "November the 22nd, 1963. The assassination of President Kennedy."

"Must be his father…" said Liv.

"Going further back... April 1912." said Clive as he brought over a photo album, "This is a photo of the Daniels family, Southampton. And friend." he pointed to The Doctor standing with the family, "This was taken the day before they were due to sail off for the New World. On the Titanic. And for some unknown reason, they cancelled the trip and survived. And…" he showed them a sketch, "1883. Another Doctor. And look - the same lineage. He's identical. This one washed up on the coast of Sumatra on the very day Krakatoa exploded. The Doctor is a legend woven throughout history. When disaster comes, he's there. He has a storm in his wake. And he has one constant companion."

"Who's that?" asked Maddie.

"Death. If the Doctor's back... if you've seen him, Liv and Maddie... then one thing's for certain - we're all in danger. If he's singled you two out and if the Doctor's making house calls... then God help you."

"Who is he?" asked Liv, "Who do you think he is?"

"I think he's the same man," said Clive, "I think he's immortal. I think he's an alien from another world."

After meeting with Clive, Liv and Maddie walked back to Diggie's car. Before they got there, Maddie started to talk, "Alright! He's a nut!"

"A COMPLETE online conspiracy freak," said Liv as they got in the car, "You win!"

They got into the car, but they didn't notice that Diggie didn't look quite right. That's because it wasn't Diggie he had been replaced by a plastic clone.

"I'm kind of hungry," said Maddie, "How about we stop and get some pizza, "

"Pizzaaa!" said Plastic Diggie, "P-p-p-pizza!"

"Ooo," said Liv, "How about Chinese?"

"Pizza!"

Plastic Diggie had a bit of trouble driving at first. But soon he got the hang of it. A short while latter they were sitting in a restaurant talking. Well, Liv and Maddie were talking, Plastic Mickey was sitting there with a grin on his face. "Do you think I should even try to get another job?" Maddie asked her twin," I was only there to try to make a little extra money before we leave for school."

"I don't think so," said Liv, "I think we need to go on a trip somewhere and forget this who thing ever happened. "

Maddie laughed and looked at Plastic Diggie, "What do you think?"

"So, where did you meet this Doctor?" asked Plastic Diggie.

"What does that have to do with what we were talking about?"

"Because, I think it started back at the store, am I right? Is he something to do with that?"

"No…"

"Come on."

"Sort of."

"What was he doing there?"

"I'm not going to talk about him anymore, Diggie," said Maddie, "because, I know it sounds crazy but I think he's dangerous."

"But you can trust me sweetheart!" said Plastic Diggie, "Babe, sugar, darling, sugar." Liv and Maddie looked at each other and back at Plastic Diggie, "You can tell me anything," he continued, "Tell me about the Doctor and what he's planning, and I can help you, Maddie. Because that's all I really wanna do, sweetheart, babe, sugar, sweetheart.

"What's going on?" asked Liv.

Just then a waiter walked up to them, "Your champagne." he said.

"We didn't order any champagne," said Plastic Diggie, then he grabbed Rose's hand, "Where's the Doctor?"

The waiteer moved to the other side of the table and held the bottle out to Maddie,
"Ma'am. Your champagne."

"It's not ours…" said Liv, "Besides we are under age…" Liv looked up and gasped.

Maddie wasn't paying attention to her twin she was too worried about her boyfriend, "Diggie, what is it? What's wrong?"

"I need to find out how much you know, so where is he?" asked Plastic Diggie.

"Doesn't anybody want this champagne?" asked the waiter.

"Look, we didn't order i-" said Plastic Diggie as he looked up. Their 'waiter' was The Doctor, "Ah. Gotcha."

The Doctor started to shake the bottle, "Don't mind me. I'm just toasting the happy couple. On the house! "

The cork popped out and hit Plastic Diggie square on the forehead. His forehead absorbed the cork and he spit it out of his mouth, "Anyway." His hands turned into clubs and he smashed the table. The girls screamed and ran out of the way. The Doctor grabbed Plastic Diggie's head and pulled it off, "Don't think that's gonna stop me."

People started screaming around the restaurant. Maddie ran for the fire alarm and pulled it, "Everyone out! Get out now!" Everyone else started to run for the door. The body of Plastic Diggie started blindly smashing table with his club hands.

Liv, Maddie, and The Doctor ran through the kitchen, "Get out! Get out! Get out!" said Liv to the kitchen staff. Then they ran out of the back exit. When they got outside The Doctor used his device to lock the door. Liv and Maddie tried to find a way out from the back of the restaurant but all they found was locked gates.

"Open the gate!" said Liv, "Use that tube thing!"

"What, this?" said The Doctor, "This is a sonic screwdriver."

"Whatever it is use it!" said Maddie.

"Nah. Tell ya what, let's go in here," said The Doctor. Liv and Maddie looked and it was the blue box from earlier. The Doctor walked up to it, unlocked it and went inside.

Liv and Maddie heard the sound of the body of Plastic Diggie pounding on the door and they saw dents starting to form in the door. The twins went to the box and saw it was made of wood. "We can't hide inside a wooden box!" said Maddie.

The twins ran to the gate and rattled it, "It's gonna get us!" said Liv, "Doctor!" Then the girls ran into the box and slammed the door behind them. They turned around and they couldn't believe their eyes. Then went back outside and looked at the box. On the outside the box looked like it was 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The girls even walked around the box to make sure they weren't seeing things. But then, the body of Plastic Diggie busted through the door.

The girls then ran back into the box. The room was huge and shaped liked a dome. The Doctor was at a control console in the center of the room that reached the ceiling, "It's going to follow us!" said Liv.

"The assembled hoards of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and believe me, they've tried. Now, shut up a minute," said The Doctor. Liv and Maddie just stood there and tried to wrap their heads around what was going on. Meanwhile, The Doctor was wiring up Plastic Diggie's head to the console, "You see, the arm is too simple, but the head's perfect. I can use it to trace the signal back to the original source. Right." Then he turned and saw Liv and Maddie still standing by the door, "Where do you want to start?"

"Um... the inside's bigger than the outside?" asked Maddie.

"Yes," said The Doctor.

"It's alien technology," said Liv.

"Yup."

"Are you alien?" asked Maddie.

"Yes," said The Doctor, "Is that alright?"

The girls both nodded and said, "Yeah…" together.

"It's called the TARDIS, this thing. T-A-R-D-I-S, that's Time And Relative Dimension In Space." then Maddie gave a small sob. Liv gave her twin a hug to comfort her, ""That's okay," said The Doctor, "Culture shock. Happens to the best of us."

"No, it's not that," said Maddie with a sniffle, "Did they kill him? Diggie? Did they kill Diggie? Is he dead?"

"Oh... didn't think of that."

That made Maddie mad, she stormed up to the console and said, "He's my boyfriend! You pulled off his head! They copied him and you didn't even think?!" Then she looked at the console, "And now you're just going to let him melt?!"

"Melt?" The Doctor turned around and saw Plastic Diggie's head melt into the console, "Oh, no no no no no NO! " Then he started running around the console, pressing buttons and pulling leavers.

"What're you doing?!" asked Maddie.

"Reviving the signal, it's fading! Wait I've got it," he looked at the monitor, "No No No No No No NO!" The TARDIS started to shake, "Almost there! Almost there! Here we go!"

The engines stopped and the Doctor ran out of the TARDIS without another word.

"You can't go out there, it's not safe!" said Liv.

Liv and Maddie ran out the door. To their surprise they were no longer in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. They were in Chicago! They traveled 250 miles in just a matter of seconds. They could tell they were near Navy Pier, because they could see the giant Ferris Wheel in the distance

"I lost the signal, I got so close," said The Doctor.

"How on earth can we be in Chicago?!" asked Liv.

"Disappears there, reappears here, you wouldn't understand."

"But if we're here, what about that headless thing?" said Maddie, "It's still on the loose."

"It melted with the head, are you going to on and on all night?"

"I'll have to tell his family…" The Doctor looked at Maddie questioningly, "Diggie!" Maddie reminded him, "I'll have to tell his family he's dead, and you forgot him, again!" The Doctor rolled his eyes, "You were right, you ARE alien," said Maddie as she turned away from him.

"Look," said The Doctor. Maddie turned back around and he continued, "if I did forget some kid called Diggie, it's because I'm trying to save the life of every stupid ape blundering on top of this planet, alright?"

"Alright!" said Maddie.

"Yes! It is!"

Maddie shook her head. Liv stood there looking between the two of them. She decided she need to changed the subject. She looked at the TARDIS and said, "What's a police public call box?"

"It's a telephone box from the 1950s," said The Doctor, as he smiled and patted the box fondly, "It's a disguise."

Liv laughed and Maddie rolled here eyes and said, "Okay. This living plastic, what's it got against us?"

"Nothing, it loves you. You've got such a good planet. Lots of smoke and oil, plenty of toxins and dioxins in the air... perfect. Just what the Nestene Consciousness needs. It's food stock was destroyed in the war, all its protein plants rotted, so Earth... Dinner!"

"Is there any way of stopping it?" asked Liv.

The Doctor grinned and took out a test tube of blue liquid from inside his jacket, "Anti-plastic!"

"Anti-plastic…"

"Anti-plastic! But first I've got to find it. How can you hide something that big in a city this small?"

"Hide what?" asked Liv.

"The transmitter. The Consciousness is controlling every single piece of plastic so it needs a transmitter to boost the signal."

"What's it look like?" asked Maddie.

"Like a transmitter. Round and massive, slap bang in the middle of Chicago." He started to pace and look around for a clue, "A huge circular metal structure... like a dish…" He turned and faced the girls with Navy Pier behind him, "...like a wheel. Close to where we're standing. Must be COMPLETELY invisible. "

Liv and Maddie look behind him at the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel

"What?" asked The Doctor.

Maddie nodded toward the Ferris Wheel.

The Doctor turned around, and then back to the girls, "What? "

Liv nodded toward the Ferris Wheel.

The Doctor turned around again and then back to the girls, "What is it? What? "

The girls then crossed their arms across their chest and continued to look at the Ferris Wheel.

The Doctor turned around again and then he realized what the girls were looking at, "Oh…" He turned back around with a big grin on his, "Fantastic!" Then, he ran off.

The three of them ran hand in had to Navy Pier and soon they were at the base of the Ferris Wheel.. "Think of it," said The Doctor, "Plastic, all over the world. Every artificial thing waiting to come alive. The shop window dummies, the phones, the wires, the cables… Still, we've found the transmitter. The Consciousness must be somewhere nearby."

Maddie sees a door marked 'Authorized Personal Only.' "What about over there?" she pointed.

The Doctor looks to where she was pointing, "Looks good to me. " They ran to the door and looked around. Then The Doctor unlocked it with his sonic screwdriver and they went inside. They ran down a set of stairs and found another door. The Doctor opened the door to chamber and they went down some steps. The Doctor then points to a huge, orange, wobbling mass in the middle of the chamber, "The Nestene Consciousness, that's it, inside the vat. A living, plastic creature."

"Well, Go ahead," said Maddie, "Throw in your anti-plastic and let's go."

"I'm not here to kill it. I've got to give it a chance."

"What?!"

They went down some more steps, and The Doctor leaned over the railings and looked at the Consciousness, "I seek audience with the Nestene Consciousness under peaceful contract," he said, "According to convention 15 of the Shadow Proclamation." The Consciousness wobble around a bit, "Thank you. That I might have permission to approach."

Liv and Maddie looked on. Then Maddie looked to her right and saw Diggie crouched down on the floor. "Diggie!" she shouted as she ran down some steps toward him. With Maddie close behind.

"That thing down there, the liquid, Maddie… it can talk!" said Diggie.

"Ugh," said Liv, "You stink…"

"Doctor," shouted Maddie, "they kept him alive!"

"Yeah, that was always a possibility," said The Doctor, "Keep him alive to maintain the copy."

Maddie was flabbergasted, "You knew that and you never said anything?"

"Can we keep the domestics outside, thank you?" said The Doctor. Liv and Maddie helped Diggie to his feet as The Doctor approached the Consciousness, "Am I addressing the Consciousness?" The creature bubbled, "Thank you. If I might observe, you infiltrated this civilization by means of warped, shunt technology. So, may I suggest, with the greatest respect, that you shunt off?"

The creature grubbed in a negative manner, "Oh don't give me that," said The Doctor, "it's an invasion! Plain and simple! Don't talk about constitutional rights!" The creature reared what could be considered its head angrily, "I - am - talking! This planet is just starting. These stupid little people have only just learnt how to walk, but they're capable of so much more. I'm asking you on their behalf - please, just go."

Two mannequins approached The Doctor from behind, "Look out, Doctor!" shouted Liv.

The mannequins grabbed him and one of them took the anit-plastic out of his inside jacket pocket, "That was just insurance! I wasn't going to USE it," said The Doctor. The plastic roared in anger, "I was not attacking you. I'm here to help. I'm not your enemy. I swear, I'm not... what do you mean?" Just then they heard a door slide open behind them. They turned and saw the TARDIS, "Oh, oh no - honestly, no! Yes, that's my ship. " The plastict roared again, "That's not true. I should know, I was there. I fought in the war - it wasn't my fault! I couldn't save your world! I couldn't save any of them!"

"What's it doing?!" asked Liv

"It's the TARDIS! The Nestene has identified its superior technology - it's terrified! It's going to the final base. It's starting the invasion! Get out, Liv and Maddie! Just leg it! Now!"

Instead of running the girls called their parents to warn them of the danger and they would explain everything as soon as possible. Just then The Consciousness sends out a signal, "It's the activation signal! It's transmitting!"

"The end of the world... " said Liv.

All around the world mannequins started to came to life attacking people.

"Get out, girls!" shouted The Doctor, "Just get out! Run! "

Liv, Maddie, & Diggie started to head for the stairs the twins came down with The Doctor but then part of the ceiling fell taking out the stairs, "Now what?" asked Liv.

Maddie looked around and saw the TARDIS, "Come on!" she said as they ran over to the box. They tried to pushed the door open but it was locked, "We don't have the key!"

"We're gonna die!" said Diggie.

The girls and Diggie cowered in from of the door of the TARDIS. Liv sat there and watched as The Doctor struggled to get free and get to the anti-plastic, on the level just below them. She looked around and then she stood up and kicked off her heels.

"What are you doing?" asked Maddie.

She looked at her twin and smiled, "You'll see…"

Then she ran off, "There's nothing you can do!" said Diggie.

Then she picked up an axe and looked at a chain secured to a support high up on the wall "Want to bet?" asked Liv, "I might not know how to throw a three pointer, from top of the lock like Maddie"

Maddie looked at Diggie and softly says to him, "She means shoot a three pointer from the top of the key."

"But, I'll tell you one thing," said Liv and she hit the support with the ax, until it broke free, " I got the silver metal at the Stevens Point Elementary under 7 gymnastics competition."

She grabbed the chain and started to run to the edge and when she reached the edge she jumped off. She held onto the chain and hit the mannequin holding The Doctor. It let go of him and it fell into the vat. Then she hit the one holding the anti-plastic it fell into the vat as well. The tube of anti-plastic broke and the Consciousness starts to writhe and scream. As Liv started to swing back The Doctor caught her and set her on the floor. They looked down at the vat, "Now we're in trouble. " He said with a smile. The Doctor and Liv ran up a set up steps and to reach the level, Maddie, Diggie and the TARDIS were sitting at.

When they got back to the TARDIS, The Doctor unlocked the box, Liv slipped her heels back on and they all went back into the TARDIS.

A short time later they were back behind the restaurant, Diggie ran out of the TARDIS looking like he had seen a ghost. He backed against a wall while Liv and Maddie walked out of the box like nothing was wrong. The girls called their parents and learned that thankfully everyone was all right. The girls walked up to Diggie and Maddie said, "A lot of help you were…"

The Doctor stood in the doorway of the TARDIS, and said, "Nestene Consciousness?" he snapped his fingers, "Easy."

"You didn't do anything," said Liv, teasingly, "You were useless in there. You'd be dead if it wasn't for me."

"Yes, I would. Thank you," said The Doctor with a nod, "Right then! I'll be off! Unless, uh... I don't know... you and your sister could come with me. This box isn't just a Midwestern Hopper, you know, it goes anywhere in the universe free of charge."

"Don't! He's an alien!" said Diggie, "He's a thing!"

"He's NOT invited," said The Doctor with a nod, "What do you think? You two could stay here and fill your life with work and school and food and sleep and Twitter, or you could go, uh... Anywhere."

"Is it always this dangerous?" asked Maddie.

"Yeah," nodded The Doctor with a smile.

Diggie put his arms around Maddie's legs like a little kid, "Yeah, I can't... I've um.. Got to go and check on my family and um... someone's gotta look after this stupid lump…" She gave a small laugh and patted Mickey on the back."

"What about you?" The Doctor looked at Liv.

"I don't think so…" she said, "I couldn't go without my sister…"

"Okay. See you two around." The Doctor doesn't take his eyes of the girls as he closed the door. The Girls just looked at the closed door as the engines of the TARDIS started up and it slowly disappeared.

"Come on…" said Liv, "Lets go."

Diggie just sat on the ground in shock, staring at the empty space where the TARDIS stood.

"C'mon... come on…" said Maddie as the girls helped him to his feet and started to walk away. But, as they walked they could heard the sounds of the TARDIS again. The turned around and saw the TARDIS reappearing. When it was done The Doctor popped his head out, "By the way - did I mention, it also travels in time?" He grinned and went back inside, leaving the door ajar.

The twins looked at each other, smiled and nodded. Then, Maddie turned to Diggie, "Thanks."

"Thanks for what?" he asked.

"Exactly." then she kissed his cheek. Liv and Maddie then joined hands and started to run for the TARDIS with big smiles on their faces.
