Starliner...

Near a planet with a thick cloudy atmosphere and a lovely view of the Horse Head Nebula.

"Would all passengers please return to their seats and fasten their safety belts? We are experiencing slight turbulence." Someone on the speaker said.

Things are going Bang! on the bridge, which is strongly modelled on the Starship Enterprise.

"Both engines failed, and the storm-gate's critical. The ship is going down. Christmas is cancelled." The captain said.

"Entering atmosphere now. Level. Keep her level." The pilot said.

"Level with what? I can't see. What is that stuff?" The co-pilot asked.

"Clouds?" The captain asked.

"What kind of clouds?" The pilot asked.

Distress signals activated.

"Are you sending distress signals?" The captain asked.

"It's not me." The pilot said.

Locations: Honeymoon suite. Tea Time suite.

"Who is in the honeymoon and tea time suites?" The captain asked.

Amy enters, wearing her stripper policewoman outfit. Sayaka entered behind Amy wearing her magical girl outfit.

"We've sent for help." Sayaka said, her sword around her waist.

"Who the hell are the both of you?" The captain asked.

"Look, there are friends of our, okay? And they can help us. They'll come." Amy said.

"And what are the both of you wearing?" The captain asked.

"It doesn't matter." Sayaka said, looking around the place. "It's what I normally wear on a daily basis.."

"Are you two from the honeymoon and tea time suites?" The captain asked.

"Oh, shut up. I'm not on a honeymoon." Amy ssid, annoyed.

"And I'm not that into tea." Sayaka said, rolling her eyes.

Enter a Roman Centurion with someone wearing a red outfit.

"Amy, Sayaka, the light's stopped flashing. Does that mean they're coming?" Rory asked.

"The hell are they?" Kyoko asked.

"Honeymoon and tea time suites?" The pilot asked, looking between the two couples.

"Oh. Oh, the clothes. Er. It is just a bit of fun." Rory said.

"We were trying to make sure you guys aren't in despair up here." Kyoko said, her hand on her hip. "Just so Witches wouldn't come. Like hell, you guys are lucky that there wasn't anyone that scared."

"Madoka and Homura are with the passengers. Mami is scanning around the ship for possible labyrinths." Sayaka said, smiling.

"Really, shut up. And Witches? Rory and I said we could handle this." Amy said, looking between Sayaka and Kyoko. "Keeping the crew at bay."

"We didn't want the people in more danger than they already are."

"Fine, fine. You both changed the plan last minute."

"Sensor loss on eighty percent of the hull." The co-pilot said.

"So, does this mean they're coming, or does it mean I need to change the bulb?" Rory asked.

"They'll come. They always come." Amy said.

"Right. Well, they are cutting it kind of fine." Rory said, annoyed.

"If we can't stabilise the orbit, we're finished." The captain said.

"There's nothing to lock onto. I am flying blind." The co-pilot said.

"Come on, Doctor, Jared, come on." Amy said.

"There's something coming alongside us. Something small, like a shuttle."

"Just this once, don't be late."

"Ma'am. Incoming message. It's from the other ship." The pilot said.

"On screen." The captain said.

Message reads - Come along Pond. Believe in the Heart of Gungnir.

"What does that mean?" The captain asked.

"It's Christmas. Jared asked for some help from Hibiki and Nanoha." Amy said, happily.

Time Space Administrative Bureau...

Jared was busy eating some cupcakes with Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate. He doesn't know what to expect yet, and it's been a long day.

"How was it?" Hayate asked. "Rebooting the universe. I mean, the Doctor's world."

"It took a lot of thinking." Jared said, smiling. "About what to do."

"Really? The Alliance?" Nanoha asked. "Do you know anything about them?"

"All I know is that this version of them had enemies I faced or will face."

"What kind of enemies?" Fate asked.

"Do you know about the Aurum?" Jared asked.

"Aurum?" Nanoha asked. "What are they?"

"Apparently they're aliens I haven't fought yet."

"Didn't you say that everyone everywhere heard the Pandorica?" Hayate asked. "We heard it."

"Really?" Jared asked.

"We have reports of a spaceship from Earth heading towards a planet." Lindy said, walking over to Jared. "Do you know about it?"

"Yes. I do. Nanoha, I need your help with this."

"Are you sure?" Nanoha asked.

"Yeah." Jared said, happily.

"There's over four thousand people on that ship." Lindy said. "I believe some of your friends are on there."

"The Puella Magi Holy Quintet. Did they send out a distress signal?"

"Yes."

"Tell them. Believe in the Heart of Gungnir."

"Okay." Lindy said, walking away,

"Are we calling Hibiki?" Nanoha asked.

"Tsubasa and Miku too?" Hayate asked.

"Yup." Jared said, excitedly. "It's not like we have a lot to work with."

"What are we gonna do?" Fate asked.

"Something fun. And awesome."

"Okay." Nanoha said.

"Will you tell us what to do?" Fate asked.

The TARDIS began materializing inside the base.

Main room...

The Doctor tumbles out of the fireplace in a shower of soot. Jared and Nanoha falls down after him.

"Ah. Yes. Blimey." The Doctor said.

"Sorry, it's Christmas Eve. We were on a rooftop. Nanoha and I saw a chimney with the Doctor..." Jared said, happily.

"Our brains went, what the hell. And we tumbled down. Aww, we have soot everywhere." Nanoha said, sadly.

The Doctor goes to the family, "Don't worry, fat fellow will be doing the rounds later. We're just scoping out the general chimney-ness. Yes. Nice size, good traction. Big tick."

"Fat fellow?" Benjamin asked.

"Father Christmas, Santa Claus or, as I've always known him, Jeff." The Doctor said.

"There's no such person as Father Christmas." The boy said.

"Oh, yeah?" Nanoha asked. "He's real and we met him."

The Doctor produces an old photograph, "Me, Jared, Nanoha, Hibiki, and Ruby with Father Christmas, Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge, 1952."

"Oh, do you see Santa in the back with the blonde? That's Albert Einstein!"

"The seven of us together." Jared said, happily. "Now that was a fun night."

"Brrm. Watch out. Okay?" The Doctor asked.

"Have faith and hope in Santa, okay? Stay off the naughty list."

The Doctor spots what looks like a big cinema organ, "Ooo. Now, what's this then? I love this. A big flashy lighty thing. That's what brought us here. Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually, but give me time, and a crayon."

"This device is connected to the antenna on your dome, right? Well, I think it controls the sky." Nanoha said.

"Nanoha, it controls the clouds. And they aren't clouds." Jared said, happily.

"Well, they're clouds of tiny particles of ice. Ice clouds. Love that." The Doctor said.

"Who's she?" Nanoha asked, walking towards a blonde woman.

"Nobody important." Sardick said.

"Nobody important. Blimey, that's amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before." The Doctor said.

"This machine is the key to saving the ship." Jared said, grabbing Nanoha's hand.

"I'll eat my hat." The Doctor said. "If I had a hat. I'll eat someone's hat. Not someone who's using their hat. I don't want to shock a nun, or something. Sorry, rambling, because, because this isn't working!"

"The controls are isomorphic. One to one. They respond only to me." Sardick said.

"Oh, you fibber. Isomorphic. There's no such thing."

Sardick reaches over and switches it off then on again.

All the Doctor gets are annoyed beeps, even with the screwdriver, "These controls are isomorphic."

"The skies of this entire world are mine. My family tamed them, and now I own them." Sardick said.

"Tamed the sky? What does that mean?" Nanoha asked.

"It means I'm Kazran Sardick. How can you lot possibly not know who I am?" Sardick asked.

"Well, I'm easily bored. I'm a Gemini. We need your help, Kazran Sardick." Jared said, squeezing Nanoha's hand.

"Make an appointment."

"There are four thousand and eight people in a spaceship trapped in your cloud belt. Without your help, they're going to die." Nanoha said. "Some of our friends are up there. They're Magical Girls."

"Yes."

"You can't let that happen!" Nanoha said, angrily.

"I know, but I'm going to. Bye, bye. Bored now. Chuck. And some of my other guards." Sardick said.

The Doctor, Jared, and Nanoha wriggles out of the clutches of servants and goes to Sardick, who is settling into a tall leather armchair by the fireplace.

"Ooo, look at you three, looking all tough now." Sardick said.

"There are four thousand and eight people we won't allow to die tonight." Jared said, looking at Kazran. "Some of which are people I'm really close to. Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, Kyoko Sakura, and Sayaka Miki. I recently saved them. We rebooted the universe together. And I won't lose them again. I'm also close to the Ponds, Amy and Rory. You would let them die. Not gonna happen. Because do you know where that puts you?"

"Where?"

"Four thousand and nine."

"Was that a sort of threat-y thing?" Sardick asked.

"Yes, because Jared had gotten rather good at those. Nanoha rubbed off on Jared." The Doctor said, walking up to Kazran. "Whatever happens tonight, remember you brought it on yourself."

"Yeah, yeah, right. Get them out of here. And next time, try and find me some funny poor people." Sardick said.

The boy throws a stray piece of coal at Sardick as he, his family, the Doctor, Jared, and Nanoha are hustled out. Sardick runs over to hit the child.

"No, stop, don't hurt him!" Nanoha said, running up to the child.

"Don't you dare. You leave him." Benjamin said.

"Get him out of here. Get that foul-smelling family out of here. Out!" Sardick said.

"We're going!" The boy said.

"That many people..." Nanoha said, telepathically.

The Doctor, Jared, and Nanoha remains behind.

"Yeah. We can't let that pass. Too many casualties." Jared said, telepathically.

"What? What do you three want?" Sardick asked.

"All I want is a simple, normal life. But I know that is never gonna happen. And you didn't hit the boy." Jared said, looking at Sardick.

"Well, I will next time."

"Um, I think you won't. Because you have a kind heart. If only we can figure it out." Nanoha said. "We need to know the reason. We have to know why."

"Now why? What are we missing?" The Doctor asked.

"Get out. Get out of this house." Sardick said.

"The chairs. Of course, the chairs. Stupid me, the chairs." The Doctor said.

"The chairs?"

"There's a portrait on the wall behind me. Looks like you, but it's too old, so it's your father. All the chairs are angled away from it. Daddy's been dead for twenty years, but you still can't get comfortable where he can see you. There's a Christmas tree in the painting, but none in this house, on Christmas Eve." The Doctor said.

"I think you're scared of your father." Nanoha said, sadly. "And you don't want to be like him. He must have been really strict. You're not like him, I know it."

"Yup. You're not like him at all. Because, do you want to know why?" Jared asked.

"Why?" Sardick asked.

"Because you didn't hit the boy. Merry Christmas, Mister Sardick." The Doctor said.

"I despise Christmas." Sardick said, angrily.

"You shouldn't despite Christmas. It's very you." Nanoha said. "Christmas is a wonderful holiday to spend with family and friends."

"It's what? What do you mean?" Sardick asked.

"You'll find out. When you're halfway out of the dark. And when you're in the light." Jared said, happily.

The servants return and the Doctor, Jared, and Nanoha leaves.

"Get her downstairs with the others. And clean up this mess." Sardick said.

Starliner...

"Everything's offline. Secondary furnace just vented." The co-pilot said.

Amy is on the phone to the Doctor, Jared, and Nanoha, "Have you lot got a plan yet?"

Sardicktown...

"Yup, we do." Jared said, grabbing Nanoha's hand.

Starliner...

"He's lying." Fate said, her voice over the phone.

Sardicktown...

"Yup, I am. Sorry, I was trying to comfort you, Amy." Jared said, sadly.

Starliner...

"You little...ugh! Don't treat me and Amy like idiots." Kyoko said, angrily.

"Was Jared lying?" Rory asked.

"No, no." Amy said.

"We have some good..." Hayate said, her voice over the phone.

Sardicktown...

"News..." Hayate said.

"Jared, Nanoha, and I tracked the machine that unlocks the cloud belt." The Doctor said.

"We could use it to clear you a flight corridor and you could land easily." Hayate said. "That's easy enough."

Starliner...

"Nice. That's great news." Sayaka said, standing next to Amy.

Sardicktown...

"But the Doctor can't control the machine..." Jared said, sadly.

Starliner...

"Less great." Amy said.

Sardicktown...

"But we've met a man who can." The Doctor said.

"Ah, well..." Amy said, her voice over the phone.

Starliner...

"There you go." Amy said.

Sardicktown...

"And he hates me, Jared, and Nanoha." The Doctor said.

"Were you being..." Sayaka said, her voice over the phone.

Starliner...

"...extra charming and clever? And was Nanoha trying to be the voice of reason? With Jared being all tsundere?" Sayaka asked.

Sardicktown...

"Yeah. How did you know, Sayaka Miki?" The Doctor asked.

Starliner...

"It was a lucky guess." Sayaka said, shrugging her shoulders.

Sardicktown...

"Oi. You lot." Benjamin said.

"Sayaka, wait." Hayate said. "What's wrong?"

"I've never seen anybody stand up to Mister Sardick like that. Bless you, you three, and merry Christmas." Benjamin said, looking at the Doctor, Jared, and Nanoha.

"Merry Christmas." Jared said, happily.

"Sorry, we're a bit busy." Fate said.

"You'd better get inside, you five. The fog's thick tonight, and there's a fish warning." Benjamin said.

"Okay, yeah, we'll do that. Wait, what? Fish?" Nanoha asked.

"Yeah. You know what they're like when they get a bit hungry." Benjamin said.

"Yeah, fish. The things that live in the ocean. I know them. But fish?" Fate asked.

"It's all Mister Sardick's fault, I reckon. He always lets a few fish through the cloud layer when he's in a bad mood. Thank you. Bless you once again, you three." Benjamin said.

"Fish?" Jared asked. "Right, fish."

Starliner...

"Doctor, Jared, the Captain says we've got less than an hour." Sayaka said.

Sardicktown...

"The hell should we be doing?" Kyoko asked, her voice over the phone.

"Fish. Right. I love how this adventure has fish!" Jared said, excitedly. "Don't you love fish, girls?"

There is a shoal of tiddlers swimming around a street light.

"Fish." Nanoha said, her eyes widening.

"Sorry, what?" Amy asked, her voice over the phone.

"Fish that can swim in fog. I love new planets." The Doctor said.

"Doctor. Jared."

Starliner...

"Doctor, Jared, please don't get distracted." Amy said.

Starliner...

"The fish likes me." Fate said, smiling.

The little fish nibble at Fate's outstretched fingers while a big shadow passes some way behind Nanoha.

"Yeah." Nanoha said, happily. "They do."

"I don't know why people are scared of these tiny fish." Hayate said, looking around. "They are adorable."

"Look at you, sweet little fishy-wishies." Jared said, excitedly. "You are such a cute school. Yes you are!"

"Mind you, fish in the fog, so the cloud cover. Ooo. Careful up there." The Doctor said.

Starliner...

"Oh great, thanks, Doctor, because there was a real danger we were all going to nod off." Amy said, sarcastically.

"We've got less than an hour! So save us, you dummies!" Kyoko said, angrily.

Sardicktown...

"We know that." Jared said, while the town clock shows 11 o'clock.

"This is more of a laid back adventure." Hayate said, grabbing Jared's hand. "I like it."

"Ding dong merrily on high..." Someone on the speaker said.

"Doctor? Jared?" Sayaka asked, over the phone.

Starliner...

"How are you getting us off here?" Sayaka asked.

Sardicktown...

"Oh, just give me a minute. Can't use the Tardis, because it can't lock on." The Doctor said.

"And none of our spells can stop it." Hayate said. "Or slow it down."

"Capturing spells might work. But on a moving ship. It would take immense power." Jared said, sadly.

"So, that ship needs to land." Nanoha said.

"But it can't land unless a very bad man suddenly decides to turn nice just in time for Christmas Day." The Doctor said.

Starliner...

"Doctor, Jared, Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, we can't hear you." Amy said.

"The hell is that?" Kyoko asked.

"Wait, is that singing?" Sayaka asked. "What are they singing?"

Sardicktown...

"A Christmas carol." Nanoha said.

Starliner...

"A what?" Amy asked.

Sardicktown...

"A Christmas carol." The Doctor said.

Starliner...

"A what?" Amy asked.

Sardicktown...

"A Christmas Carol!" Jared said, happily. "God, I love that play. Nanoha, Fate, Hayate. Do you see my plan now?"

"Hosanna in excelsis." Someone on the speaker said.

"Are we gonna be the Ghosts of Christmas Past?" Hayate asked, telepathically.

"I'm in." Fate said, telepathically.

"Let's do this, team!" Nanoha said, telepathically.

"Looks like you three will be coming with the Doctor and I to Kazran's past." Jared said, telepathically. "We could be reasoning with a kid. Someone around the same age as you three."

"Merry Christmas, Kazran Sardick." The Doctor said.

"Hosanna in excelsis." Someone on the speaker said.

Kazran's bedroom...

The old Kazran Sardick is sleeping in his big leather chair, when we are shown a video recording of a young boy in his pajamas. The lad is making a video diary on his computer.

"Hello, my name is Kazran Sardick. I'm twelve and a half, and this is my bedroom." Kazran said.

Main room...

"Top secret special project." Sardick said.

Kazran's bedroom...

"This is my top secret special project. For my eyes only. Merry Christmas." Kazran said.

"Kazran!" Elliot said, nearby.

(Jared's POV)

Main room...

Old Sardick wakes at the shout from his father. The scene with his young self is being projected on the far wall where the main door is. Elliot Sardick is played as a caricature of Lord Alan Sugar.

"Kazran! Kazran, what are you doing? What are you doing? I've warned you before about this, you stupid, ignorant, ridiculous child." Elliot said, on screen.

"I was just going to make a film of the fish." Kazran said, on screen.

"Kazran is a good kid." Nanoha said, telepathically. "I want to talk to him."

"Same." Fate said, telepathically.

"We have to help
