A young teenage boy, [[Jason (Cuckoo-Spit)|Jason]], starts the first entry in a [[diary]] his granddad bought him for [[Christmas]], stating that he only started it because strange things have been happening lately. A boy in the year above, Chris Rutter, has disappeared. | A young teenage boy, [[Jason (Cuckoo-Spit)|Jason]], starts the first entry in a [[diary]] his granddad bought him for [[Christmas]], stating that he only started it because strange things have been happening lately.

The next day, Jason befriends a boy at his school called [[Graham Cook]] during [[PE]] class. That evening, a neighbour informs Jason's mother that [[Chris Rutter]]'s [[Chris Rutter's mother|mother]] has also disappeared. During [[history]] class a week later, Jason sees a man and a boy stood on the street outside. Their faces appear to be muddled up, their eyes glowing ominously. That night, Jason learns that Graham did not come home from school and begins to worry about him. | The next day, Jason befriends a boy at his school called [[Graham Cook]] during [[PE]] class.

That weekend, Jason walks to a nearby field, where he notes that the tall [[grass ]]is covered with cuckoo-spit, a substance created by frog-hopper nymphs as a form of protection and a source of moisture. After hearing a sound like an old car engine, he rushes to another part of the field where he sees a [[The Doctor's TARDIS|blue hut]], out of which steps a [[Tenth Doctor|thin man]] in a crumpled suit. A [[Rose Tyler|girl]] then steps from the bushes and summons the thin man to a stream, where a metallic pear-drop shaped object lies. The man notes that the hull must have fractured on impact, meaning that something inside has escaped. | That weekend, Jason walks to a nearby field, where he notes that the tall [[grass ]]is covered with cuckoo-spit, a substance created by frog-hopper nymphs as a form of protection and a source of moisture.
