Robin's green eyes searched the Doctor's face as he spoke, a layer of tears building up as she considered what this could mean for him. Maybe she would make it, maybe not... But for the Doctor to draw the fire of all of his foes at once seemed to lessen his chances considerably. A single tear spilled over, and she hoped against all hope that he would make it somehow.<br/><br/>When he pushed her out of the van, she ran as fast as she possibly could to the side of the alley, ducking behind the distracted Cybermen. Her heart pounding, she rounded the corner... Safe, at least for the moment. Warily, the blonde poked her head around the wall, watching as the Doctor drove straight at the Cybermen... Only to stop just in front of them. Gasping, her hand flew to her locket, yanking almost violently on the chain.<br/><br/>Her hands then crushed against her ears, trying to drown out the noise being made by the Doctor in the van... But her eyes never closed, and she saw the huge black vehicle come lumbering down the alley... With some sort of robot dog riding on the top of it. A strangled laugh escaped her as the dog began firing at the creatures, speaking with a charming metallic voice.<br/><br/><em>Here we are,</em>she thought helplessly, seeing the Doctor's bemused face,<em>under attack by four hostile species of aliens... And robot Lassie comes to save the day.</em><br/><br/>As the Sontarans and Rutans retreated and the Doctor started to run, Robin herself moved toward him, smiling hugely. Her hope had been lost, but as usual, something happened in the nick of time to save them. This caused a strange niggling sensation in her mind... As though she'd forgotten something very important. But she just shook her head as she ran toward the Doctor and happily met him.<br/><br/>"Oh, right!" she laughed, resisting the urge to hug him. "Just like you planned!" Looking up to the little dog, she beamed. "Hello, K-9! Nice to meet you! Thanks for saving our skins!"
