Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 15:20:31 EDT From: J Subject: DOCTOR WHO, JESSE AND JEREMY part 10 DOCTOR WHO, JEREMY AND JESSE Episode 10- THE WITCH'S TIT part one The sign said, "Welcome to Hellertown's Lost Caverns." Inside the upper level shanty was a much larger room that went down into the rock. There was a dinosaur there. A fake one. And glass displays. Inside were finds from Native American, Dutch, Viking and other cultures from all times and ages. Samples of rocks were also on display. No one was in the room now. There were no visitors. Lower down in the offices was a man, a boy, and a girl. The man had on a headset. "Dr. Welcher, can you hear me?" Renowned spelunker, scientist, archeologist, Dr. Welcher crawled into the rock hole. He had a light on his helmet. He was crawling into a tight spot. " The rocks go on and on here but I can't see where it ends. I think...I think I'm stuck." "Can you wiggle out," someone on the other end of his mike called to him. "I'm trying," the man tried to remain calm. "Wait, something...something's giving." "Behind you?" "No!" The man sounded fascinated, "Ahead of me." "What is it?" "I"ll see if I can reach it..." "No, just come back out now." "It's just a reach ahead of me, an arm's length..." The man reached out and grabbed it, "It looks like...like a female...." "What? Did you say a female? What do you mean?" "Mmmmm, tastes great, K9," Jesse said as he spooned some cake that on a table into his mouth. K9 floated in to the large spacious Party Room aboard the TARDIS. "That was for the Doctor's 2000th birthday, which is today." Jesse shut his eyes and swallowed, "I...MMMMM, this really IS good. 2000? Well then, he's had so many cakes by now then, that he won't miss this one. It's been so long since I had one..." Jesse looked around, "By the way K9 after you showed me this room, you drifted away..." "Master needed me to help plot a course..." "Of course but what I'm saying is, what the hell is this room?" "I call it the Party Room. It has not been used since...a long time ago." Jesse swallowed and took a swig of soda. He wiped his mouth with a napkin from the same round table. It was wood. "This table though would have to go, it' s all wooden, doesn't' match the rest of the room." "It is the Round Table." "Well yeah, like I said, it's round but I mean it's wooden and very old so it doesn't really fit in with....uhm, uhhhh...did you say THE ROUND TABLE?" "Affirmative, young master." Jesse felt it with both hands flat on it and under the table cloth on it. " And you've put birthday cake on it. THE ROUND TABLE. That's so...." He put his hands on his mouth now and backed off from the table, "That's so....so cool!" He sounded ecstatic. "My God, the round table." "The Doctor..." Jesse looked at K9, "He really does travel in time, doesn't he?" "You are behaving most strangely, Master Jesse. You have been to the past already several times." "Yes, I have but still no dinosaurs, you know." The room shook and they tilted to one side, K9 steadied himself in the air. " We have landed." "Oh let's see where we are then," Jesse ran out, came back in and took one last piece of the cake he was devouring and ate it. He left a small amount of it. K9 looked at the cake. Balancing the soda in mouth and left hand, Jesse tore into the console room and looked up. The ceiling window plate covers were down and they could see up above to...darkness. "It looks like rock." "It is," the Doctor said. Jeremy put on a brown leather jacket, short cut, "The Doctor's said it's cold out there." "Oh, I'm fine the way I am," Jesse said. "Jesse, you can go out first," the Doctor winked at Jeremy. "Oh?" "Yes, you might find this place to your liking..." "USA is it?" "Present day, Jesse, our country, our time. 2005, August to be exact." "Hellertown, Pennsylvania to be exact. Durham Street." The Doctor stated. "Well, come on then," Jesse opened the doors using the controls and strode out past the two of them, "Let's not sit about talking about it, let's go and see it..." As he walked out he screamed startled. The Doctor and Jeremy, co conspirators, came out. They were both laughing at him. He had spilled his soda. "Haha, very funny. Not." He had run right out into the giant exhibit of a plastic and huge 25 foot high dinosaur which had its Rex maw in his face. It was also about 25 feet long. "Very unfunny. It's not even real. And it' s dimensions all look wrong. It's off." The Doctor put a hand on Jesse's shoulder, "It was a nasty thing." "Teasing me like that?" "No the thing. That thing. It was a lot bigger," the Doctor said. "Wait a minute. You've seen one..." "Huh uh," the Doctor acknowledged, "I sure have." "Up close!" "Close enough." The Doctor smiled, "you might too before your trip of a life time in the TARDIS is over. Or a death time." Jesse waved his can of soda at him, "Don't start that again. You really should give us boys a choice you know." "Jesse," Jeremy was looking in a glass case far off and up a ramp toward the upper level, "Why do, I mean what makes you... you want to see a dinosaur so bad?" He was caught fascinated by the Medieval weapons in the cases. He turned to Jesse. "It has to do with my dad..." Jesse said, "But..." A tall young college aged boy came into the room. He had bright blond shiny hair with traces of brown in it. "What are you guys doing in here? We're closed." "What, I had hoped you'd be open," Jesse said and offered his soda to the boy. "I'm known as the Doctor and this is Jesse..." Jesse came up to the young man's chest. "I'm Adam. I work here or rather should say worked here." He had the kindest blue eyes which seemed to change green in the light of the graying place. Jesse felt his nipples were hard from the cold and from this new boy. Jeremy came running down, "I'm Jeremy." "You..." Adam looked as Jesse nearly fell and fell into him. He steadied the younger boy, "And you, both look kinda familiar." "Uhm," the Doctor said, "I take it there are no tours then?" "No, we had an accident and...damned near funny one at that..." The Doctor looked at the door to the office, "May I?" "That leads down to the cavern and the find..." Adam said. "I might be able to help." Jeremy whispered to Adam, "He's a scientist..." Adam turned, "You are? What kind?" The Doctor shrugged, "Name it." "He's a doctor of medicine and of many other things," Jesse winked up at Adam, who turned to look as the Doctor went into the office. Standing up on an upright cot were two skeletons. "Fantastic!" "Doctor!" Jeremy ran past Jesse and Adam and into the office. "And what pray tell is this?" The Doctor looked at a large wicker basket which held a stake and tied to the stake was a rock shaped like a woman's breast. "EWL!" Jesse said as he came in and Jeremy echoed him, close behind the Doctor. "Is it....?" "Real? I'm afraid so," the Doctor had an eye glass out and put it in his right eye. "Calcified." "A human female breast? Real?" Adam said, holding Jesse's back as Jesse tried to move closer to it, "It can't be." "It's not. Real it is. But it's not human." The Doctor turned to them, " Where did it come from?" "That is Dr. Welch. He was pulled out in that form, only..." Adam paused. " Only a day ago." "Wow," Jeremy said, "He ...he died..." "Yeah and what else can you deduce?" Jesse finished his soda as Jeremy came to him and shrugged into him, hitting him playfully. "We pulled him out like that." Adam said, "He was in the caves searching for the end to our deepest trail. We think it goes down and down, toward the center of the Earth but..." "And this other skeleton?" The Doctor asked, "Where did it come from?" "It was in there too, funny thing is, this ...this breast..." "Oh you mean the tit?" The Doctor smiled, using Adam's uncomfortable ness to harp on. "Doctor, I'm a former Mormon and from Pennsylvania Dutch country..." "Go on, Adam," Jeremy said, "These two will just send you up and put you off, tell us what you know and show us the cave if you can..." "I'm the only one here right now," Adam said, "And I have to get back to the college in a few hours but...I don't see what harm there would be in showing you the interior." As they started to move past the witch's tit exhibit, the Doctor turned, " One thing, Adam, my good man. What...what...where was this thing found?" "In the hands of the first skeleton. My boss, Dr Owen, thinks that it was there from the early 1800s or even before that....there were some strange college initiations that went on in here, as well as weddings, parties, ballroom dancing..." "Dancing?" Jeremy asked, all happy. "Dancing!" Jesse was even happier, "Just my thing..." "Ballroom." The Doctor outted. "Don't matter to me, dancing is dancing." Jesse smiled. "You're a fascinating person, Jesse," The Doctor put his finger on Jesse' s nose and tapped it. "Just don't go getting rid of me again so fast." The Doctor nodded. Jeremy whispered to Jesse, "Let it go." "I can't. He dumped us. Aren't you mad?" "I was a bit," Jeremy shrugged, "You know, at first. But no, not now." "I'm not mad either I guess. Just a bit put off, hurt." "Not me," Jeremy said and followed the Doctor and Adam, who took a flashlight off the wall racks. "Not me," Jesse mimicked. He turned, thinking he heard something. It was obviously day time outside when they exited the TARDIS but Jesse felt a chill. Something not right. Something bad was going on. He swallowed, turning to a sound. The skeleton was moving. The old one. He turned to look at the Witch's Tit. It was vibrating. "DOCTOR!" Inside the cave, Adam shone the flashlight, "There's rising water on one side but it won't come over the top of the walkway. We have a pump to see to that. Since our last rainstorms..." Jeremy asked, "Doctor, who would put a witch's breast in there and how do you know the witch was not ...not..." He whispered from Adam's ear shot, "Not human?" "I know. What's more that I would like to know is who does the other skeleton belong to?" "IT BELONGS TO ME!" A boyish ghost appeared in front of Adam, who dropped the flashlight. The light turned up but kept shining so they could see the glowing image of a flying boy, a ragged clothed boy, a dirty faced boy. Jesse came running to them. "Doctor! That horrid skeleton...the first one is moving!" "IT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU! YOU WERE MINE THE DAY YOU CAME INTO MY LAIR! YOU AND IT BELONG TO ME!" "WHAT THE FUCK'S HAPPENING?" Jesse bumped into Jeremy's back and clung to it. "I dunno," Jeremy whispered. "THE WITCH!" The Doctor saw the other ghostly image. A female. A mouth of fanged teeth and claws like a bird of prey. The witch image came through the first ghost and right at them all! To be continued... Doctor Who, K9, Tardis, and other stuff are the BBCs but no copyright infringement is meant or implied. Adam is mine. There really are lost caverns. Jesse and Jeremy may or may not be gay. This story does not say they are or aren' t in real life. It is fiction.
