Sure, why not?

Ellie, Chuck and Stephen Bartowski come across a crater in a park as Sarah Walker and Sarah's dad arrive. They do not acknowledge each other as of yet as they are all staring down the crater.

Sarah walker's POV

A 3 meter deep crater.  At the center the damaged shell of a Red Dalek (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/New_Dalek_Paradigm).

Smoke and sparks burst from the Dalek.

Back to scene

The 5 of them stare at each other in shock.

Suddenly, a voice from the crater:

The doctor (O.S)

Oohh...ow....

They all look down:

Young Ellie Bartowski

Are you alright?

Stephen Bartowski

(to Ellie)

Eleanor...be careful...

SARAH'S DAD

Do we have something to worry about?

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

Sounds like there's someone stuck in that weird thing.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Very perceptive.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Do you need help?

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Ahhh...not yet...let me take care of a few details first...

We hear the sonic screwdriver at work.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Ahhh...there...that's done it...Now don't be shy...come on down here...

STEPHEN BARTOWSKI

(to the children)

Wait here.

(to Sarah's dad)

Give me a hand here.

Sarah's dad and Stephen Bartowski help each other down to the crashed Dalek.

Cut to:

Stephen Bartowski and Sarah's dad are standing around the Dalek, unsure what to do next.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Hang on...just got to loosen the top part...

We hear the sonic screwdriver.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

OK...the internal cooling vents should have brought down the outside casing's temperature now.  I've loosened the top...try pulling the dome off.

Stephen Bartowski and Sarah's Dad pull off the Dalek's head.

The Doctor's hand reaches out.

The Doctor dusts himself off.

YOUNG ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Who are you?

The Doctor

Sometimes I'm called The Doctor. Other times the Oncoming Storm. But most of the time people refer to me as... get the hell out of my face.

The Doctor pauses for a beat.

THE DOCTOR

(thoughtfully)

That's not really a name though, is it?

The Doctor looks around at the group.

THE DOCTOR

Thank you...all of you...you've all been very kind.

THE DOCTOR

(to Ellie, arm outstretched to shake hands)

Thank you Miss...

YOUNG ELLIE BARTOWSKI

(shaking the Doctor's hand)

I'm Ellie Bartowski.

STEPHEN BARTOWSKI

(shaking hands with The Doctor)

I'm her father Stephen.

(pushing Chuck forward)

And this little boy here is my son Chuck.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

(shaking hands with The Doctor)

I'm not little.  I'm eleven years old already!

THE DOCTOR

Of course you are!

SARAH'S DAD

I'm Jack and this is my daughter Sarah.

The Doctor shakes both their hands.

THE DOCTOR

Jack, Sarah...it was a pleasure.

The Doctor's sonic screwdriver starts beeping...he takes it out and starts pointing it in different directions until the beeping grows more distinct.

THE DOCTOR

Sorry...got to run now...

The Doctor begins following his sonic screwdriver.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone about what's in the crater...it's very dangerous.

YOUNG ELLIE BARTOWSKI

He's really weird.

Chuck...I'm sorry...but I want to move on.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Sarah, please don't go! I love you! I can make this work!

SARAH WALKER

Chuck, you've been trying for months.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

But don't you remember the kiss on the beach? It's just like the kisses we shared when we were married.

SARAH WALKER

Chuck...one kiss doesn't make a marriage...and I don't really remember our marriage.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Just give it some time. You'll remember everything!

SARAH WALKER

I remember enough. And from the mission logs, it seems our marriage was more one of convenience since I was assigned to you, I didn't have any other options.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

But Sarah...we love each other.

SARAH WALKER

Chuck, those five years I forgot, you explained to me. I was assigned to you. I didn't even get a chance to see what was out there. I think now that I have a second chance, I want to see other people now. I think I want to find someone more like me. Someone less nerdy. I'm sorry.

Sarah walks away from Chuck.

Chuck stops, looks down at the sand in depression, fighting back tears.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

(To himself)

Merry Christmas Sarah.

Chuck takes a small box out of his jacket pocket and opens it. Inside is a diamond engagement ring.

Suddenly 2 passengers rush to Chuck's side:

CUE AMY POND (dressed as the police kissogram) and RORY WILLIAMS (dressed as a Roman centurion), each holding one of Chuck's arms to support him.

AMY POND

Hold on! You got to take the three of us!

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

What are you two doing?

amy pond

What does it look like? We're trying to save your life!

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I don't want to live!

AMY POND

Now that's not a very positive attitude!

rory williams

We need you alive to stop these terrorists from crashing our plane!

Amy Pond takes a cell phone out of her pocket.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I just want Sarah back.

Amy has made a call and is chatting on the phone.

amy pond

(on the phone)

You hear that Doctor? He just wants to be with his ex-wife, Sarah...You want me to give him the phone?

CUE The Doctor.

THE DOCTOR

Oy! You must be Sarah Walker, Chuck's wife...oh...I'm the Doctor by the way. And you can put that gun away...I'm not hear to hurt you.

Sarah Walker just slams the door in his face.

We can hear banging on the door.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Oy! Open up! We need to talk! It's urgent!

Sarah Walker ignores him and continues watching the DVD.

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

Come on! It's Christmas! Let's try to be cheery and friendly!

SARAH WALKER

Bah humbug!

sarah walker's pov:

Sarah Walker is talking on the TV again:

SARAH WALKER

Well...things are finally over with Chuck. He's dating Hannah and I've finally moved on with another spy...Daniel...but it just feels weird...like something isn't right with this.

We hear the TARDIS klaxon sounding in the TV. Then some running, and then the sonic screwdriver, all in the background of the TV picture.

Suddenly The Doctor sits right beside Sarah Walker and looks at the TV camera.

THE DOCTOR

Very astute Sarah...trust me...you don't want to do that. Trust your instincts. It isn't right. Not without Chuck.

SARAH WALKER

(Irritated)

Who the hell are you?!?!

THE DOCTOR

Remember the Charles Dickens' novel, A Christmas Carol? I'm the ghost of Christmas past.

sarah walker

What the hell are you doing here? I don't know you...wait a minute...

THE DOCTOR

Actually Sarah...I just remembered myself...we've known each other for a very long time. Met way back in nineteen ninety two in San Diego...was hiding in a Dalek then. Never mind...just watch the TV...I taped everything and dumped it onto your mission logs.

There's no such thing as a time machine.

YOUNG ELLIE BARTOWSKI

(sadly, but with hints of anger) 

He left us a long time ago. Don't think he's coming back either. It's just Chuck and me now.

THE DOCTOR

I'm sorry. No one should be forced to grow up at such a young age.

YOUNG ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Well...it's ok. I'm very mature. And you better stay on your toes, because I'm going to look after Sarah too!

THE DOCTOR

(smiling)

Good for you Eleanor. I'll tell you what: I can't promise to be around every day, but I promise I'll visit you every Christmas Eve.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Can I see?

Young Sarah Walker quickly puts her hands behind her.

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

(teasingly)

Guess which hand?

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Hmmm...that one!

Young Chuck Bartowski points to Young Sarah Walker's left hand. She displays it to him, palm open; no gem in it.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I had a fifty percent chance of being wrong.

Young Sarah Walker smiles:

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

You're such a nerd!

Young Chuck Bartowski looks embarassed and insecure.

The feet belong to a Hath (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Hath), who is suffocating as it has no breathing apparatus.

YOUNG ELLIE BARTOWSKI

What is that thing?

THE DOCTOR

A Hath...must have been choking which was why it chased your brother. It's dying...it can't breathe air...it needs to be in the water.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

You mean this was all a misunderstanding?

THE DOCTOR

Yes. The poor thing looks like it was just hatched...it must be terrified.

Young Sarah Walker happily skips ahead to the front door.

Sarah's Dad turns to the Doctor.

SARAH'S DAD

I've never seen Sarah so happy...so not alone before.

THE DOCTOR

I'm glad I've been of help.

SARAH'S DAD

You have Doc. We've had to move around alot...so Sarah's always having trouble making friends...she's always very lonely...but this Christmas Eve she was very happy. She really likes Chuck and Ellie, and they really like her too. I'm glad.

THE DOCTOR

Try to put some roots down.

SARAH'S DAD

In my line of work it's hard.

THE DOCTOR

I see.  Till next Christmas?

Till next Christmas.

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI (now 16) and Young Chuck Bartowski (now 13) are decorating a Christmas tree when they hear knocking at the door.  Over this, Caption: Christmas Eve, 1994.

Teen Ellie Bartowski opens the door.

It's the Doctor and Young Sarah Walker (now 12)!

THE DOCTOR, young Sarah walker (chorus)

Merry Christmas!

Teen Ellie Bartowski

Doctor!  Sarah!  Merry Christmas!

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Merry Christmas!  Missed you Sarah!

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

Missed you too Chuck.

Young Chuck Bartowski and Young Sarah Walker smile at each other, and this is noticed by both the Doctor and Teen Ellie Bartowski.

THE DOCTOR

My have you grown Eleanor.

Teen Ellie Bartowski stands almost as tall as the Doctor now.

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

Ready to fly the Millenium Falcon Chuck?

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Cool!

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Why don't you ask Sarah what she wants to do?

Young Sarah Walker smiles at Young Chuck Bartowski.

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

I do if Chuck wants to.

The Doctor is busy working the controls.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I thought we were gonna pilot the Millenium Falcon?

THE DOCTOR

Patience Charles.  The design of the Millenium Falcon is rubbish.  It defies the laws of astrophysics and faster than light travel.  So I have to calibrate the TARDIS shields to compensate for the shape shift once the chameleon circuit adjusts the TARDIS exterior.

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

What?

THE DOCTOR

Young lady, watch and learn.

Suddenly the TARDIS interior starts to change and morph into the interior of the Millenium Falcon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenium_Falcon).

Young Chuck Bartowski and Young Sarah Walker hug each other in fright, while Teen Ellie Bartowski hugs both of them protectively.

Meanwhile, the Doctor just smiles and laughs.

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

Wow! Where are we?

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

We're somewhere in the Kasterberous galaxy...far away from Earth.

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Why here?

THE DOCTOR (O.S)

It's my home...or used to be...but it was destroyed in a great war...so there's nothing here now so we can go wherever you want.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Yeah!

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

This has got to be the best Christmas ever!

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Yeah!  I can't believe I got to fly in the Millenium Falcon!

THE DOCTOR

If you thought this Christmas Eve was good, wait till you see what I got planned for next year.

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Right now I have to study for the SATs.

THE DOCTOR

SATs?

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI

I want to take and pass them as soon as possible, so I can get into a good pre-med program in college.

THE DOCTOR

Pre-med? Why? And what's pre-med?

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Pre-med is the course curriculum for people who want to become a doctor.

Teen Ellie Bartowski smiles at the Doctor.

THE DOCTOR

Of course you do Eleanor. You are brilliant.

YOUNG CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Looking forward to seeing you next year, Sarah! Merry Christmas!

TEEN ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Sarah...if you want to come up from San Diego to visit Chuck and I, you can just call me. I'm old enough to be Chuck's guardian so I can look out for you too.

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

(coyly)

That would be hard cause my dad and I are always running around alot.

teen ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Running from your friends too?

YOUNG SARAH WALKER

Looking forward to seeing you next Christmas Ellie, Chuck. Merry Christmas.

Thug

Get back here, Grifter!  You're gonna pay for conning my boss!

Teen Sarah Walker glances over her shoulder.

She trips on the curb and collapses onto the road in front of an incoming truck.

We hear the screech of the tires as the truck slams on the brakes, but there's not enough time.

Too injured to move, Teen Sarah Walker closes her eyes.

We hear the sound of the TARDIS materializing.

TEEN CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Hey Sarah, what's the matter? You look so unhappy this year?

ellie bartowski

Come on Sarah! We're about to embark on another Christmas adventure with the Doctor.

TEEN SARAH WALKER

My dad's gone.

TEEN CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I'm sorry.

TEEN SARAH WALKER

It's OK. It's just that it's so lonely at my place now...well...it's not really a home even...just a place I'm staying at.

THE DOCTOR

Relax Sarah...I have an idea.

cut to:

61 ext. sarah walker's house, san diego - day

The TARDIS materialies on the driveway of Teen Sarah Walker's home in San Diego. Ellie Bartowski, Teen Chuck Bartowski, Teen Sarah Walker and the Doctor depart.

Teen Chuck Bartowski takes Teen Sarah Walker in his arms.

TEEN CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Don't worry Sarah. We'll help you decorate your place for Christmas. The Doctor will help, right?

THE DOCTOR

Right you are Charles. Right you are.

Teen Sarah Walker smiles through her braces at Teen Chuck Bartowski.

A car pulls up alongside the curb.  It's a convertible being driven by DICK.

Dick

Hey Jenny!  It must be getting lonely with your dad locked up!  Let me know if you need a man around the house.

Dick laughs cruelly as he drives away.

TEEN CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Did he confuse you with your neighbour Jenny?

TEEN SARAH WALKER

(trying to lie convincingly)

I don't know him.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Forget about it. Let's go help Sarah set up her house for Christmas.

Teen Chuck Bartowski, Teen Sarah Walker and Ellie Bartowski are putting the final touchings on a Christmas tree in the family room.

The Doctor inconspicuously takes a picture with a camera phone and makes a call...

Amy Pond answers the phone.

Hello Amy! I'm going to send you a pic now that I want you to examine.

The Doctor presses some buttons on the cell phone.

Amy Pond examines her cell phone but the screen has nothing but TV snow flowing across it.

AMY POND

Too much interference! I can't see a thing!

Ellie Bartowski enters the TARDIS.

Teen Chuck Bartowski gives Teen Sarah Walker a long hug, and Teen Sarah Walker rests her head on his chest for a beat.

TEEN CHUCK BARTOWSKI

See you next year. Merry Christmas.

TEEN SARAH WALKER

Merry Christmas Chuck. I'll miss you too.

TEEN CHUCK BARTOWSKI

You sure you're alright? Anything you want to talk about?

TEEN SARAH WALKER

No...I'm fine. Thanks.

Teen Chuck Bartowski enters the TARDIS.

The Doctor walks next to Teen Sarah Walker as she watches Teen Chuck Bartowski disappear into the TARDIS.

THE DOCTOR

That rude chap earlier...he was talking about you, wasn't he?

Teen Sarah Walker remains silent.

THE DOCTOR

Don't let him get you down. You're amazing, Sarah Walker.

TEEN SARAH WALKER

Thank you.

THE DOCTOR

Your father did something wrong, didn't he?

TEEN SARAH WALKER

It's nothing. Forget about it.

THE DOCTOR

I left a special present for you inside...in case you ever feel lonely.

TEEN SARAH WALKER

Merry Christmas, Doctor.

THE DOCTOR

Merry Christmas, Sarah.

The Doctor enters the TARDIS...he turns around one last time and winks, and then closes the door.

The TARDIS klaxon is heard and it dematerializes.

Teen Sarah Walker enters her family room and sees several presents hidden under the tree: 2 small red boxes and a rather large blue (TARDIS blue) box.

Teen Sarah Walker looks at the 2 small red boxes.

1 is from Ellie Bartowski, the other from Teen Chuck Bartowski.

Teen Sarah Walker looks at the large blue box...there is a simple card attached:

bryce larkin

That was an amazing jump you did back there.

SARAH WALKER

(blushing)

Thanks.

BRYCE LARKIN

So...you wanna go out tonight?

SARAH WALKER

Umm...new trainees aren't encouraged to fraternize amongst each other.

BRYCE LARKIN

So you're interested in breaking the rules a little?

SARAH WALKER

It's Christmas Eve...I've got some friends to see.

BRYCE LARKIN

Who? You mostly keep to yourself Sarah...

Sarah, a little insulted, motions to the front lobby:

We see the Doctor, standing with his arms around Ellie Bartowski (now 23) and Chuck Bartowski (now 20). All are wearing Santa hats and smiling.

Bryce Larkin looks suspiciously at the trio.

BRYCE LARKIN

Wait a minute...that looks like my old pal Chuck...be careful of him...I had to frame him for cheating at Stanford. He's gonna be upset...I got him expelled.

Sarah Walker turns to Bryce Larkin in shock.

BRYCE LARKIN

It was for his own good.

SARAH WALKER

You got my friend expelled from Stanford for his own good?!?

Sarah Walker breaks away from him and runs over to the Doctor, Ellie and Chuck Bartowski.


the doctor, chuck bartowski, ellie bartowski (chorus)

Merry Christmas!

SARAH WALKER

Merry Christmas!

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

(jealously)

Who's he?

Nobody.

THE DOCTOR

SARAH WALKER

Doctor...remember when we were all very young...just eleven, twelve...and you took us all to Hearst Castle?

THE DOCTOR

Yes...

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

How can you remember that??

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

She remembers you being scared to death by that Hath!

Chuck Bartowski looks intimidated and humiliated.

SARAH WALKER

For your information your little brother was very brave. He went into those dark bushes for me.

Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker smile at each other and blush, to the notice of Ellie Bartowski and the Doctor.

SARAH WALKER

I'd like to see how our Hath friend is doing today.

THE DOCTOR

Fine...off to the Pacific ocean then.

The Doctor starts working the TARDIS console.

The TARDIS heart starts pumping and the klaxon can be heard.

We see the Hath swimming in front of a school of dolphins.

Further back, we see the Doctor, Ellie Bartowski, Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker riding on the backs of dolphins who are carrying them across the water.

Over the waves, Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker are talking.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

So...who was that guy that was so friendly with you at the CIA place?

SARAH WALKER

He...he's...a fellow recruit...Bryce Larkin.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

(dejectedly)

Great...Bryce always gets the great girls.

SARAH WALKER

Chuck...why are you so sad?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

It's just that...my dreams have been crushed.

SARAH WALKER

What dreams?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

To start my own software company...to be a millionaire before thirty...to...

SARAH WALKER

Don't give up on your dreams, Chuck. You're smart...you can do it.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

It'll be impossible now thanks to your boyfriend Bryce.

SARAH WALKER

Chuck...Bryce is not my boyfriend...he told me what happened at Stanford and I wouldn't be friends with anyone, let alone even consider dating, someone that did something like that to you.

Chuck Bartowski looks at Sarah Walker hopefully and smiles.

Sarah Walker reaches across the ocean from her dolphin to take Chuck Bartowski's hand.

SARAH WALKER

You're my friend Chuck.

Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker continue holding hands while riding the dolphins across the waves.

The Doctor notices and motions to Ellie Bartowski, who observes and smiles.

Sarah Walker opens the door.

THE DOCTOR

So...Are we ready to help Chuck yet?

Sarah Walker eyes the Doctor suspiciously.

THE DOCTOR

Ahhh...right...still some more Christmases to go...but at least tell me this: who was watching your house back in ninety nine?

SARAH WALKER

I don't want to talk about it.

THE DOCTOR

Ohh...

The Doctor looks shocked.

THE DOCTOR

Who am I?

SARAH WALKER

You're the....Doctor?

THE DOCTOR

Good...it's working...just wait a bit....still got a little more history to change!

The Doctor runs off screen.

We hear the TARDIS dematerializing in the background.

Sadly, Sarah Walker closes her hotel room door and locks it. She walks back to her bed and slumps on it, face down.

Out from the closet comes K9.

K9

Mistress, are you still sad?

SARAH WALKER

Yeah...you understand K9, don't you?

k9

Yes mistress.

Sarah Walker gets down on her knees in front of K9 and starts tickling its chin.

SARAH WALKER

You're so forgiving K9. You're such a good, faithful doggie, aren't you?

k9

Yes mistress. But you do deserve to be happy too.

SARAH WALKER

Not this time.

Sarah Walker pauses for a beat.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Why?

SARAH WALKER

The CIA told me we were involved with dangerous spies...

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

How?

SARAH WALKER

We used to be con artists.

Sarah Walker looks ashamed.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Sarah...don't feel bad. The sins of your father are not yours...you were young and under his influence...now look at yourself. You're in the CIA now...you're one of the good guys.

Sarah Walker smiles.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

At least you got a real job...I'm working the Buy More.

Chuck Bartowski looks very dejected.

SARAH WALKER

It's still a job...and it's only temporary...you're meant for greater things anyway.

We see a blank piece of paper in front of Sarah Walker.

SARAH WALKER

That's a blank piece of paper!

THE DOCTOR

Of course it's blank...it's psychic and shows what I want you to see.  Since you know how it works, you aren't fooled by it.

The Doctor pauses for a beat.

THE DOCTOR

I've never explained this to you before.

Sarah Walker shakes her head proudly.

THE DOCTOR

A hunch...nothing more...

The Doctor takes out his sonic screwdriver and waves it around.

SARAH WALKER

What are you doing?

THE DOCTOR

Funny...there is non-terrestrial technology in this room.

The Doctor follows his beeping sonic screwdriver until the beeps become one long siren.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Wait! I remember this! These were the things my dad had in his lab! Back at our old house sis!

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Yeah...I remember now...he told us it was wild...and exciting...

THE DOCTOR

I told you not to touch that thing I arrived in for a reason!

CAPTAIN AWESOME

Something tells me this is not awesome.

THE DOCTOR

What was your father doing with this?

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Some type of memory research.

The Doctor goes to a PC and uses his sonic screwdriver on it. The Doctor then holds his psychic paper in front of the retina scanner and is allowed access to the CIA's files.  The Doctor starts waving his sonic screwdriver at the PC again.

THE DOCTOR

According to the CIA, that man worked with your father on some memory project called the Intersect...

SARAH WALKER

The Intersect? Your father was involved with the Intersect project?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

What's the Intersect?

SARAH WALKER

After nine eleven, all the different intelligence agencies decided to put all their resources into a database in order to see if patterns could be found.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

But my father told us he was doing research on human memory and how to speed up the learning process.

SARAH WALKER

That was to be the second phase of the Intersect...to directly implant the intel as memories into field agents.

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...can you find out more on our mystery man without attracting attention?

SARAH WALKER

Sure...but what's the rush? I thought we were going to do something? It's Christmas Eve...and it's been a whole year since I last saw Chuck, Ellie and Devon.

The Doctor smiles.

SARAH WALKER

The point is, we all have so much fun together, let's not get bogged down with this.

Everyone smiles.

Terrorist 1 enters the room.  He is armed with a gun and silencer.

TERRORIST 1

You're all pretty good...too bad I overheard you all talking.

THE DOCTOR

So...why you've been following Sarah?

TERRORIST 1

I haven't.  I've been trying to hunt you down.

THE DOCTOR

Me?  What for?

TERRORIST 1

You expect me to talk?

Sarah Walker protectively positions herself between Terrorist 1 and Chuck Bartowski, Ellie Bartowski and Captain Awesome.

SARAH WALKER

This room has closed circuit cameras.

TERRORIST 1

Which show you accessing data above your clearance level.

THE DOCTOR

If I may interject, I'm the one who breached CIA protocol...

TERRORIST 1

So I'm going to arrest you and both the Bartowskis.

Sarah Walker protectively pushes Chuck Bartowski and Ellie Bartowski into the background.

TERRORIST 1

I'm going to kill the Doctor for sure. And as for him...

Terrorist 1 motions to Captain Awesome.

TERRORIST 1

I think I'll just shoot him for sport.

SARAH WALKER

Why?  They have nothing to do with this!

THE DOCTOR

Just a second.

TERRORIST 1

Their father was one of the chief architects of the Intersect.

THE DOCTOR

A millisecond? A nanosecond even?

Sarah Walker assumes a more threatening posture.

SARAH WALKER

Don't you dare touch them!

THE DOCTOR

A tick?

TERRORIST 1

The CIA's not gonna hold me responsible since you're already sharing secrets with the Doctor.

THE DOCTOR

A tiny little tick?!  I just want to state the obvious.

The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver on the Dalek parts on the table.

SARAH WALKER

What are you doing?

THE DOCTOR

See these bits?  They contain a high concentration of huon particles which have a natural affinity to each other.  I'm polarizing them to match the polarities of the huon matter in my ship.  So my ship...comes here.

F/X PRAC: A whirlwind of sparkling energy engulfs the Doctor, Sarah Walker, Chuck Bartowski, Ellie Bartowski and Captain Awesome. While it solidifies into the TARDIS, Terrorist 1 fires some shots at it; the bullets riccochet harmlessly off the TARDIS exterior.

The Doctor looks up and smiles.

Sarah Walker, Chuck Bartowski, Ellie Bartowski and Captain Awesome are still in shock over what just happened. Captain Awesome is the first to recover.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

Awesome!

The Doctor runs to the TARDIS console and starts working the controls.

SARAH WALKER

Doctor, what are you doing?

THE DOCTOR

This is a time machine. I'm going to travel back in time to the point where we entered the lab, but take us outside in front of the main lobby.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Why?

SARAH WALKER

When the guards see us on the security cameras outside, it will give us an alibi for not being in the lab.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

And we have security camera footage of the CIA mole accessing restricted files. Awesome!

THE DOCTOR

Exactly. Sarah's safe. You're safe. We're all safe.

SARAH WALKER

Where are we going after we arrest him?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

What do you mean?

SARAH WALKER

It's Christmas Eve Chuck. We always go out on Christmas Eve!

Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker smile at each other.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I think that was the first Christmas Eve I spent on another planet.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

And it even had fish that swam in the air! Is that awesome or what?

SARAH WALKER

And Kasran was such a nice old man.

THE DOCTOR

Well...Sarah...I guess it's time for you to go home now.

SARAH WALKER

It's not really my home.  I'm rarely there.  Usually away on missions...like my entire life.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

You're always welcome to make a home nearby us.

Sarah Walker's eyes open wide in surprise.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Seriously Sarah.  You could stay with us.

SARAH WALKER

You know...all my life I've never stayed in one place long enough to make any lasting friendships.  The only friends I see regularly are all of you.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

To friendship...and many awesome Christmases to come.

Sarah Walker watches as Chuck Bartowski, Ellie Bartowski, Captain Awesome and the Doctor wave goodbye and enter the TARDIS.

The TARDIS klaxon sounds and it dematerializes.

THE DOCTOR

Right...another crack...this can't be a leftover...

CUE BRIGITTE BARDOT (now 28 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigitte_Bardot) approaches, wearing a sparkling white evening gown. She taps the Doctor on the shoulder.

THE DOCTOR

Hang on Pond...I've got to be more inconspicuous...I'm attracting too much attention here.

The Doctor hangs up the phone.

N'êtes-vous pas un beau jeune homme?

Over this, Caption: Aren't you a handsome young man?

Ah oui, mademoiselle. Je suis le Docteur. Et vous?

Over this, Caption: Hi miss. I'm the Doctor. And you are?

BRIGITTE BARDOT

Brigitte.

THE DOCTOR

Of course...Brigitte...

The Doctor pauses for a beat. In the background we see Chuck Bartowski pull Sarah Walker in close...to an almost intimate distance.

THE DOCTOR

Oh! Brigitte Bardot. Pardon! Où sont mes manières?

Over this, Caption: Oh! Brigitte Bardot. Forgive me! Where are my manners?

THE DOCTOR

Comment allez-vous? Comment est votre mari, Jacques?

Over this, Caption: How are you? How's your husband, Jacques?

Suddenly Sarah Walker runs off from Chuck Bartowski and barges into the conversation, a look of panic on her face.

SARAH WALKER

Doctor...We need to talk!

Sarah Walker quickly pulls the Doctor away from Brigitte Bardot.

the doctor

Sarah...relax. What's bothering you?

SARAH WALKER

It's Chuck!

THE DOCTOR

What about Chuck? You both are such good friends...been so since you were ten years old!

The Doctor looks back at Chuck Bartowski, who is watching them both with a confused yet anxious look on his face.

THE DOCTOR

I've watched you all grow up. It's been an honour.

SARAH WALKER

It's just that...I think...

THE DOCTOR

Spit it out Agent Walker.

SARAH WALKER

That's it...I think...

THE DOCTOR

Think what?

SARAH WALKER

I think Chuck is going to kiss me!

The Doctor quickly turns Sarah Walker around and shoves her in Chuck's direction.

THE DOCTOR

You're a trained CIA field agent, Sarah. Go back and determine if your mark is about to make that move.

Sarah Walker quickly turns back to the Doctor in fright.

SARAH WALKER

That's the thing. You know...as part of my job...I've had to kiss marks...but...

THE DOCTOR

But what?

Sarah Walker pulls the Doctor close so she can whisper into his ear.

SARAH WALKER

(whispering frantically)

I think Chuck is going to kiss me for real!

Sarah Walker nervously looks over at Chuck Bartowski, who awkwardly smiles at her. She returns to whispering into the Doctor's ear.

SARAH WALKER

(incredibly nervous)

Not like a CIA cover kiss! But a real kiss! The types of kiss people in love give each other!

The Doctor compassionately puts his arm around Sarah Walker's shoulders in a fatherly manner:

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...there comes a time in life when as explorers and adventurers, we must brave the unknown. I know the thought of this must terrify you, but you must confront your fears.

SARAH WALKER

(Confused, terrified)

What?!?

THE DOCTOR

All your life you and your father have been running from everything thrown at you. But there comes a time when you must take a stand. You must learn to overcome your fear of the unknown. So go along, go back to Chuck and find out what he really wants!

Sarah Walker looks suspiciously at the Doctor as he gives one last final shove to Sarah, pushing her back towards Chuck Bartowski.

The Doctor continues looking forward, towards the camera as Sarah Walker clumsily stumbles into Chuck Bartowski's arms.

Chuck Bartowski pulls Sarah Walker in close and open mouth kisses her. Soon Sarah Walker is kissing back and wraps her arms around him.

The Doctor smiles and does a fist pump. Yes! I did it! I got them to fall in love at a point in time where Sarah Walker doesn't forget!

Suddenly Brigitte Bardot grabs the Doctor's arm and begins dragging him.

BRIGITTE BARDOT

Je veux vous montrer ma chambre à coucher.

Over this, Caption: I want to show you my bedroom.

THE DOCTOR

Ah oui! Et votre mari nous y rencontrer?

The Doctor runs onto the scene, and panickly waves at Ellie Bartowski and Captain Awesome to come over quickly.

The Doctor looks at Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker and starts poking their shoulders, but they ignore and continue kissing.

THE DOCTOR

How do humans go on like that?!

The Doctor starts tugging on their arms now, but they are still ignoring him and still kissing.

THE DOCTOR

I was afraid this would happen...but Sarah...we must leave now! And quickly!

Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski continue their passionate kissing, completely ignoring the Doctor.

Ellie Bartowski and Captain Awesome walk over to the Doctor.

The Doctor runs off-screen.

The Doctor pokes his head out of the TARDIS.

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...we should be off now.

The Doctor notices Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski kissing.

THE DOCTOR

OK...fine...at it again...I'll just wait inside till you're done.  Whenever that comes.

The Doctor's head disappears back inside the TARDIS.

Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski continue kissing for a beat.

Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski break to talk.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Wow...that was...

SARAH WALKER

Amazing. Like this Christmas Eve. Like all our Christmas Eves.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

So now what happens?

SARAH WALKER

You have my number. I have yours. Call me.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I will.

SARAH WALKER

Bye.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Sarah Walker now has her Mac laptop open and is browsing her electronic photographs in slideshow mode.

We now see that she has been on many adventures with Chuck Bartowski, Ellie Bartowski, and the Doctor throughout her life.

There are pictures with Chuck, Sarah and the Doctor in various places at various points in time:

Chuck, Sarah and the Doctor at the Eiffel Tower, probably in the 1930s.

Chuck, Sarah, Ellie and the Doctor at the Academy Awards red carpet in Hollywood, posing with Mary Pickford and her Academy Award for best actress in the film Coquette, in 1930.

Chuck, Sarah, Ellie, Awesome and the Doctor in some futuristic setting, obviously on another planet.

SARAH WALKER

I'm sorry Chuck...but I was assigned to a deep cover mission...no messages in or out.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I missed you.

SARAH WALKER

I missed you too.

Suddenly the Doctor comes up and puts his arms around both Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski, drawing them closer together.

THE DOCTOR

Now that you two are both reacquainted, can we move forward from this awkward split up?

SARAH WALKER

Doctor...can you take me somewhere this Christmas Eve?

The sliding door opens and in comes the Doctor.

THE DOCTOR

Merry Christmas Sarah! I haven't forgotten my promise.

SARAH WALKER

Don't you have any friends to visit on Christmas Eve?

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...is everything alright?

SARAH WALKER

Look...I don't need nor want your help anymore. I'm fine. Now stay away from me. And stay away from the Bartowskis too.

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...what's wrong? What are you not telling me?

SARAH WALKER

Just go...I can take care of myself.

THE DOCTOR

Wait...

The Doctor gives his sonic screwdriver to Sarah Walker.

THE DOCTOR

If you ever need me, just press the button there.

SARAH WALKER

Whatever.

Sarah Walker pockets the sonic screwdriver, turns around and starts to walk away.

THE DOCTOR

What about Ellie and Devon?

Sarah Walker continues walking and doesn't turn around.

SARAH WALKER

THE DOCTOR

Why? Why did you shut me out? What about Chuck?

Sarah Walker lets the Doctor inside.

SARAH WALKER

Chuck was made a CIA asset and I was assigned as his handler.  So I was forbidden from fraternizing with him, else my father would be locked away in a secret facility.

THE DOCTOR

Why didn't you tell me?

SARAH WALKER

After a while, Chuck became a full agent and we eventually married.

THE DOCTOR

Why aren't you with him now?

SARAH WALKER

Earlier this year a man named Nicholas Quinn stole my memories and I almost forgot about Chuck...and you.

THE DOCTOR

That's rubbish Sarah...you never forget anything.

SARAH WALKER

I did...and I turned on Chuck and his family...my family...

THE DOCTOR

Things happen...sometimes people who love one another hurt one another...but their love carries them through.

SARAH WALKER

I held my own sister in law at gunpoint!

THE DOCTOR

Eleanor understands.

SARAH WALKER

I almost killed my own husband!

THE DOCTOR

Chuck understands.  Love is about understanding.

SARAH WALKER

Well...you know what?!  I don't understand!

THE DOCTOR

Sarah, I understand it's going to be hard to face those people day after day, after everything you put them through...

Sarah Walker angrily grabs the Doctor's shirt collar and starts shoving him towards the door.

SARAH WALKER

No!  You don't understand!  Everyone says they understand but they don't!

Sarah Walker opens the door, throws the Doctor out and slams the door shut.

It's only fair! Last time you got to be the Ghost of Christmas Present; this time is my turn! The Doctor even said so!

AMY POND

SARAH WALKER

Why are they all singing?

Rory Williams and Amy Pond step back. It appears they are using a camera phone to send the video and they are redirecting it to show a despondant and catatonic Chuck Bartowski, who is just sitting in the aisle in despair.

Rory Williams' face takes up Sarah's TV screen again:

RORY WILLIAMS

We learnt he has a supercomputer in his head, with hand to hand combat skills preprogrammed into his subconscious, but...

Amy Pond butts her way back into the TV screen:

AMY POND

But he can't focus because he's in love with someone who's left him!

Rory Williams moves the camera phone in a circle so we can see all the passengers in that section:

The passengers are singing Silver Bells, but they all look tired, desperate, and afraid for their lives. Some children have begun to cry and cling to their parents as they sing bravely against the odds.

RORY WILLIAMS

If you don't want to help your husband, then at least help us get him back in shape so we can save these people.

The visual on the TV screen starts to become erratic and is finally replaced by TV snow.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

Babe...look, do we really need to set that extra spot? We've been doing so every family event...

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

(hopeful)

I still believe she and my little brother were meant to be. It's Christmas Devon. We used to see Sarah every Christmas. I'm hoping she'll come, if not with Chuck, then at least on her own.

Captain Awesome puts his arm around his wife, and together they walk over to a play pen to watch baby CLARA WOODCOMB, who is playing with the collector's Han and Chewie dolls.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

Maybe Auntie Sarah will feel comfortable enough to come for Christmas? Maybe Auntie Sarah misses you sweetheart? You know she probably misses playing Han and Chewie with you.

back to scene

Sarah Walker turns angrily towards K9:

SARAH WALKER

What is this? Are you making this up?

Suddenly K9 projects a hologram of Amy Pond and Rory Williams inside Sarah Walker's hotel room.

AMY POND

He's not.

RORY WILLIAMS

It's a real time feed of a webcam the Woodcomb's have running in their condo now.

AMY POND

They've been filming every family gathering since you lost your memory.

SARAH WALKER

Why?

RORY WILLIAMS

After they lost you, they realized how precious their time was with each other, so they didn't want to lose a single second while everyone was still around.

AMY POND

(pleadingly)

But not everyone they love is around. They're really missing a very special woman.

SARAH WALKER

How did you get in here anyway?

RORY WILLIAMS

We're not...we're holograms being projected by K9.

AMY POND

Look...they're talking about you.

sarah walker's pov:

On the TV screen Ellie Bartowski and Captain Awesome are holding Clara Woodcomb and looking at the empty spot at their table reserved for Sarah Walker.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

I wish she would just call me...I've tried calling her so many times...left so many messages.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

She probably feels very bad about everything that's happened. She's feeling way too guilty over kidnapping you and trying to kill Chuck.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

When I was little, I was always glad I only had a little brother, because I always imagined I'd never be able to deal with losing a sister.

Ellie Bartowski pauses for a beat and starts to cry. Captain Awesome holds her and Clara Woodcomb comfortingly.

ELLIE BARTOWSKI

(choking up in sorrow)

Well...at least I know I was right.

CAPTAIN AWESOME

Have hope babe. It's Christmas...Sarah's favourite time has always been Christmas with Team Bartowski. She'll come through.

Sarah Walker is now also crying.

We see Amy Pond and Rory Williams on the TV again.

RORY WILLIAMS

Sarah...they understand how you feel, but they still love you.  They forgive you.

SARAH WALKER

(frustrated)

I can't!

AMY POND

Why?

SARAH WALKER

I'm being watched!

RORY WILLIAMS

What?

SARAH WALKER

If I go back to them...to Chuck...my father will be locked away forever!

RORY WILLIAMS

We didn't know.  I'm sorry.

We hear knocking at the door.

The Amy Pond and Rory Williams holograms vanish.

Sarah Walker opens the door.

It's the Doctor.

Sarah Walker lets the Doctor enter.

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...after all these years...why didn't you tell me?

SARAH WALKER

There's nothing we can do. My dad's locked away in a secure CIA detention facility and he's being watched at all times.

THE DOCTOR

I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...

SARAH WALKER

So can you understand what you're asking me to do?

Sarah Walker pauses for a beat.

SARAH WALKER

How can I choose between the two men I love most?

Sarah Walker grabs the Doctor by his shirt collar.

SARAH WALKER

(angrily, emotionally)

How can I choose between my father and my husband?

The Doctor remains silent.

SARAH WALKER

I don't know those people on the jet.  Hell I don't really even know my husband anymore!  I don't remember half the things we did together.

Sarah Walker starts shaking the Doctor.

SARAH WALKER

(enraged)

How could you do this to me?  Traveling back in time...changing me?  I would never have remembered my love for Chuck...I would never know how much it hurt!

THE DOCTOR

(whispering)

Better to love and be hurt than to never love at all.

SARAH WALKER

No!  That's what Chuck thought so he stayed with me...even when the agency ordered me to get close to other agents: Bryce, Cole, Shaw...

THE DOCTOR

Just explain to him.

SARAH WALKER

Explain?  He should know better!  I told him I don't remember!  What do I owe him?!  Nothing!  I'm a spy...that's what I'm good at!  That's what I remember!  And spies don't fall in love!

Sarah Walker is still throttling the Doctor.

SARAH WALKER

I'm sick and tired of your stupid games!  Now stop this stupid rip off of A Christmas Carol!  You even forgot about the Ghost of Christmas Future!  Now get lost so I can be alone!

Sarah Walker throws the Doctor to the side, where he collapses to the floor, revealing Young Sarah Walker, who was hiding behind the Doctor, and overheard everything.

The Doctor gets up and looks to Young Sarah Walker.

THE DOCTOR

Is this what you want your life to be? Running from everyone and everything...just like it is now?

Young Sarah Walker silently shakes her head.

SARAH WALKER

If I go back to Chuck, I could lose my father forever.

THE DOCTOR

Oh Sarah, I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry.  But at least he'll be alive.

SARAH WALKER

My father dedicated his whole life to me...those people on the plane don't even know me...

THE DOCTOR

I can't make you help, Sarah.  You must decide for yourself.

Jeff Barnes and Lester Patel are still performing, but they have been joined by the Doctor and Sarah Walker! The Doctor is playing the alien instrument from the episode "Dalek" (he used this in front of Henry Van Statten). Sarah Walker is playing the violin.

After some goofing around, the Doctor and Sarah Walker disappear off screen.

CLOSE UP: chuck bartowski

Chuck Bartowski's eyes open with hope.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Sarah...my wife.

chuck bartowski's pov:

The movie screen on the plane starts to flicker, and then show some video overlapped on top.

Terrorist 1 takes note and starts to watch the movie screen with interest.

The video clears up and we see the TARDIS in the luggage compartment of the passenger jet. Suddenly the Doctor and Sarah Walker's faces appear in front of the TARDIS, and they both giggle and wave sillily at the viewers.

Sarah Walker, wearing commando gear, takes out her sonic screwdriver and starts waving it at various luggage pieces on one side.

The Doctor takes out his sonic screwdriver and waves it at luggage pieces on the other side.

Sarah Walker stops at a piece of luggage and opens it, revealing it to contain the weaponry of the 2 terrorists (2 M249 machine guns). She quickly removes the clips from the guns.

K9 moves out of the TARDIS and beside Sarah Walker.

Sarah Walker dumps the bullets into a compartment in K9. She then takes out a black ski mask.

Meanwhile, the Doctor opens a large trunk and lifts out a strange looking alien device. The Doctor waves his sonic screwdriver at it but shakes his head.

Sarah Walker puts on her black ski mask and looks exactly like Terrorist 2! She takes the weapons and quietly leaves.

The Doctor goes back into the TARDIS.

He emerges moments later wearing a brown wide brimmed fedora, a long striped scarf and is putting on a brown overcoat. The Doctor too then disappears off screen.

Terrorist 2 removes her ski mask: Surprise! It's Sarah Walker.

Sarah Walker delivers a side kick to Terrorist 1's head, but he dodges it.  Terrorist 1 and Sarah Walker engage in hand to hand combat, but Terrorist 1 is gaining the upper hand, and he knocks Sarah Walker to the floor.

Chuck Bartowski rushes to his wife's aid and engages Terrorist 1 in Intersect enhanced Kung Fu fighting.

Suddenly Rory Williams leaps in and wraps his arms around Terrorist 1's legs.

This causes a chain reaction as several passengers get up and all assist in bringing Terrorist 1 down.

Sarah Walker gets up and looks on in astonishment.

The camera ZOOMS IN on the back of the passenger wearing the brown wide rimmed fedora. He stands up, walks beside Sarah Walker, and we see he is also wearing a striped scarf and brown overcoat. He then removes his fedora, scarf and coat:

Surprise! It's the Doctor.

THE DOCTOR, SARAH WALKER (CHORUS)

Merry Christmas!

AMY POND

Took you long enough!

THE DOCTOR

I couldn't interfere until everything that you told me before came to pass. Once you reached that point in time, we were able to act.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Sarah...you came for me.

Sarah Walker smiles slightly.

SARAH WALKER

Chuck...it isn't over yet.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Why?

THE DOCTOR

This man has been following me for a while.

SARAH WALKER

I thought I saw him flash. I think he has an Intersect in him.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Let me get a closer look at him.

Sarah Walker looks at Chuck Bartowski inquisitively.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I have the Intersect again, remember?  I'll see if I flash on him.

The passengers make way as Sarah Walker holds up Terrorist 1's head.

Chuck Bartowski recovers from his flash.

SARAH WALKER

Is he someone in the CIA database?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

He is. He's Nicholas Quinn's partner.

THE DOCTOR

Sarah...it's all tied to your past...and what I changed in your timeline.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

He was suspected of being a double agent in the CIA, and we smoked him out that Christmas Eve. After Agent X, he was the second Intersect.

THE DOCTOR

That's it!

AMY POND

What?

THE DOCTOR

This CIA project, it was based on Dalek technology.

RORY WILLIAMS

So?

THE DOCTOR

Tell me Charles...how did Agent X turn out after being Intersected?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

He became a very bad dude.

THE DOCTOR

Exactly. Because the Dalek technology used contain safeguards to protect the Dalek factor. He probably hated everyone around him, and liked to kill without reason.

SARAH WALKER

Yeah...that sounds like Agent X, or Volkoff as he like to be called.

RORY WILLIAMS

Who?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Never mind...a long story.

THE DOCTOR

So...this associate of Nicholas Quinn had Dalek technology implanted into him along with your Intersect...which means he could also have had some Dalek memories put into him too.

RORY WILLIAMS

What do you mean?

THE DOCTOR

I mean...the Dalek that I crashed in when I first met Charles and Sarah...it had a plan...and that plan might have been passed via the Intersect to him.

Terrorist 1 just has a maniacal insane grin on his face.

SARAH WALKER

What were you doing in that Dalek?

THE DOCTOR

The Daleks were trying to open a rift above the Earth...I stopped them but fell through the rift into your past...

AMY POND

Where above the Earth?

THE DOCTOR

From London to here...why?

The Doctor pauses for a beat...

THE DOCTOR

Of course! Canary Wharf! I trapped the Daleks in a Void with an entry point at Canary Wharf!

The Doctor runs to the window.

Sarah Walker searches Terrorist 1's pockets and finds an alien device, which she passes to the Doctor.

The Doctor waves his sonic screwdriver over it.

THE DOCTOR

Done! We need to change course and head back to Los Angeles!

Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski rush to the pilots' cabin.

The plane is shaking violently due to the turbulence. Everyone is losing their balance.

SARAH WALKER

(yelling)

Doctor! We're getting pulled apart!

THE DOCTOR

Yes...we're headed back across the rift! We need to protect the plane with an energy shield, if that makes sense!

SARAH WALKER

Can you use the TARDIS to get us out of here?

THE DOCTOR

Too much temporal instability here to use the TARDIS! I'm out of ideas!

SARAH WALKER

I have an idea!

Oohh...brilliant...inverted force field with a tractor beam and atmospheric shell to protect the jet. We're all going to make it home for Christmas!

The passenger jet continues experiencing heavy turbulence.

AMY POND

I don't think K9's enough to save us!

THE DOCTOR

We need to generate some sort of sonic wave to counter the rift wake...

The Doctor pauses for a beat, then figures it out.

THE DOCTOR

We need to sing!

SARAH WALKER

What?!

THE DOCTOR

We need to sing! Happy songs! We boost the output via our two sonic screwdrivers...that will counteract the effects of the rift!

cut to:

The plane is rumbling through the sky and being struck by rift energy despite K9's protection.

We're going to crash somewhere in the Pacific near Monterrey Bay!

Everyone looks afraid.

SARAH WALKER

Doctor...can't you use the TARDIS to get us all out?

THE DOCTOR

I can't...too much rift disturbance to safely travel in the TARDIS...we have to seal the rift first...which probably won't happen until we hit the water!

AMY POND

Wait a minute?! Won't this plane sink?! It's got holes in it!

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Hope everyone took swimming lessons! Or we're gonna need someone carry us over the water!

Sarah Walker has an idea...

SARAH WALKER

Remember our second Christmas Eve together? At Hearst Castle?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Wait a minute...yeah...I remember...how could I forget? But how do we call it?

SARAH WALKER

This is above Beckman. There's nothing you can do.

Sarah Walker starts to cry.

EMMA WALKER

This is your father's fault.  Always moving around...he taught you to run from everything.

SARAH WALKER

No matter where I went, he always knew where to find me.

EMMA WALKER

You can't really expect Chuck to somehow magically find you! You have to work with him. Communicate!

We hear footsteps on the roof.

Sarah Walker draws her pistol and motions to her mom to be silent.

Emma Walker cuddles Molly protectively and they watch as Sarah Walker follows the footsteps on the roof with her pistol.

Sarah Walker approaches the fireplace.

Suddenly we hear someone slide down the chimney and land in the fireplace in front of Sarah Walker.

The dust clears:

Surprise!  It's Chuck Bartowski!

CLOSE UP: chuck Bartowski

Chuck steps out of the fireplace and dusts himself off.  He is wearing a black Louis Vuitton tuxedo with bow tie, dress shoes and a Santa hat.  He is carrying a small red sack that looks empty.  In his other hand, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, including gardenia and calla lilies.  We hear the song "Only Time" by Enya being played in the background.

Sarah Walker lowers her pistol since she recognizes Chuck.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Ho!  Ho!  Ho!  Merry Christmas!

Chuck gives Sarah the bouquet of flowers, which she admires, then puts to the side.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

You're the love of my life, Sarah.  I'll always know where to find you.

Emma Walker and Molly disappear off screen.

Chuck reaches into the sack and pulls out a pizza box.

Sarah Walker smiles in delight.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

And for the second day of Christmas...

SARAH WALKER

(interjecting)

We're still on the first day.

Chuck pulls out an alarm clock from the sack.

Sarah takes the gift and is visibly moved.

I remember!

Sarah Walker is starting to cry out of happiness.  She extends her arm and allows Chuck to put the bracelet on her.

SARAH WALKER

I remember this too!

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

For the fourth day of Christmas, I give my true love...

Chuck reaches into his sack and pulls out a rail pass for Europe.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

A monthly rail pass for the same train we were riding when we first got together in Paris and captured the Basque Terrorist defector. When we first decided we wanted to be together and still be spies.

Chuck hands the ticket to Sarah who gladly accepts it.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

(Desperate)

I have my own pass if you want my company...unless you plan on going with that other guy we met yesterday.

Sarah just smiles through tears of joy.

SARAH WALKER

I already told him I didn't think things would work out...How do you fit all of that into that tiny sack?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

The Doctor gave this to me. It's like the TARDIS. It's bigger on the inside...but don't you want my company in Europe?

SARAH WALKER

(crying with joy but trying to tease)

Maybe.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

And for the fifth day of Christmas I give to you, Sarah, my true love...

Chuck pulls an invitation out of the sack.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

A weekend at the winery in the South of France with the balcony with the perfect view of the sunset. The balcony where I was about to propose to you...

Sarah takes the envelope.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I got my own room in the same place...maybe we can do some wine tasting together?

Sarah gives Chuck a look: maybe.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

You lost the memory that two years ago, the President was so impressed with us he made our operation a priority. I managed to arrange a call through my mom to him and get a favor.

Sarah Walker completely breaks down. She is moved.

SARAH WALKER

Thank you Chuck.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

I'm not finished yet. Five more days to go.

Sarah Walker giggles with joy as tears run down her cheeks.

Chuck opens the jewellery box and inside is the 2 carat diamond engagement ring from the beginning of the story (where Sarah first left Chuck on the beach).

SARAH WALKER

Did the Doctor help you with that too?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

No! I swear I got this by myself!

Chuck Bartowski drops to one knee in front of Sarah Walker.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Please Sarah, my love, stay with me...I'll sleep on the couch...you can have your own bathroom, but please come back to me so we can work this whole memory loss thing out together. Please...marry me one more time!

Chuck Bartowski just smiles.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Sarah, I'd never cheat you out of anything. Last time I did that, you gave me a good beating in your dream home, and took Ellie at gunpoint.

Sarah Walker fakes a frown at Chuck Bartowski.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

But I digress...back to the plan: For the eleventh day of Christmas, I would like to give you the original wedding you wanted...on the private island, with the cake from that bakery in Paris, and all the casablanca lillies...

Sarah Walker just smiles.

Sarah Walker notices the pictures on the wall even as Chuck carries her through the house.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

It was the Doctor's idea. He said it would help you remember.

Chuck Bartowski carries her through an open door frame where Sarah Walker recognizes their names carved into the frame from the episode Chuck vs the Baby.

Chuck Bartowski carries Sarah Walker up the stairs and into the master bedroom which has been beautifully decorated by MORGAN GRIMES and ALEX MCHUGH, who are standing inside waiting for them.

THE DOCTOR

Hopefully.

Sarah Walker and the Doctor exchange smiles.

The Doctor takes out his sonic screwdriver.

THE DOCTOR

Still have this?

Sarah Walker takes out her own sonic screwdriver from her purse.

SARAH WALKER

Wouldn't lose it for the world.

THE DOCTOR

If you ever need me, just activate it...or...better yet...just make a wish.

SARAH WALKER

Doctor...you said I'd never forget anything, and although now I'm really starting to remember everything that happened over the five years Quinn erased from my memories...it's still vague. Can you help me?

THE DOCTOR

Oh, alright.

The Doctor takes out his sonic screwdriver and waves it around Sarah Walker's forehead, and the emitter pops out.

THE DOCTOR

There...that should do it. Give it a few days...but everything should come back.

Sarah Walker smiles, then turns to the house and yells:

SARAH WALKER

Mister Walker! You are needed outside!

Sarah Walker just smiles. Chuck Bartowski approches the two.

THE DOCTOR

So now you can tell Chuck you remember everything...something he's dying to hear.

SARAH WALKER

Nah...I'm going to let him sweat for a bit...he's being really romantic and I want to see what he comes up with.

The Doctor and Sarah Walker smile at each other as Chuck Bartowski arrives.

THE DOCTOR

Ohh...I got you your wedding gift and Christmas gift...

SARAH WALKER

It's not necessary...

Sarah Walker steps back into Chuck Bartowski's arms.

SARAH WALKER

I got everything I need right here.

Suddenly we hear an old but familiar voice.

BRIGITTE BARDOT (0.S.)

Docteur?!

The Doctor looks horrified.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Doctor...that sounds an awful like Brigitte Bardot?

The Doctor glances in several directions.

THE DOCTOR

I'm sorry Charles...Sarah...but I really need to go now.

The Doctor hurriedly steps back into the TARDIS and closes the door.

We skip a beat.

Suddenly the Doctor opens the TARDIS door and pokes his head out.

THE DOCTOR

Sarah?

SARAH WALKER

Yes Doctor?

THE DOCTOR

Ohh...just...be magnificent!

Sarah Walker smiles, and Chuck Bartowski holds her closer.

The Doctor returns to the TARDIS and the TARDIS dematerializes.

In its place is an antique vintage Edwardian roadster with a bow-tied ribbon. (http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Bessie)

SARAH WALKER

Bessie!

Sarah Walker walks over and checks the windshield with her husband, Chuck Bartowski. On it is a small card. It reads:

sarah walker's pov:

Congratulations! Love, the Doctor.

back to scene

Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski smile at one another and kiss.

Chuck Bartowski reaches inside the car and gets the keys. He then notices a large present in the back seat; a large box tied with a ribbon. The box is coloured TARDIS blue.

Chuck motions to Sarah to take a look.

Sarah Walker looks at the box. On it is a card:

sarah walker's pov:

Merry Christmas! Love, the Doctor.

back to scene

Sarah Walker opens the box.

It's another K9! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-9_(TV_series))

Sarah Walker just bursts into tears, with a large wide smile on her face.

SARAH WALKER

K9!

K9

Yes mistress.

K9 flies out of the back seat and onto the road beside Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski.

Sarah Walker and Chuck Bartowski walk back to their dream home, hand in hand. K9 follows behind them.

SARAH WALKER

So...what are we going to do now? I'm not a spy anymore.

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

How about we focus on helping you get back your memories?

SARAH WALKER

What are we going to do to pay for all this in the meantime?

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

Well...I sold the Buy More and put the profits into an income fund so we can live off the interest...umm...why do you ask? What do you have in mind?

SARAH WALKER

I don't know...maybe do something with advanced technology...like cyber security...

CHUCK BARTOWSKI

You remembered! That was your idea before Quinn stole your memories!

SARAH WALKER

How about extra terrestrial investigations too?

Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker exchange smiles.

SARAH WALKER

Well...we have all the time in the world to think about it.

Chuck and Sarah continue their stroll back into their house.

SARAH WALKER

Come on K9. It's time to go home.

K9

Yes mistress. Merry Christmas mistress.
