Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:53:28 -0400 (EDT) From: J Subject: Doctor Who, Jesse, and Jeremy 128 Adric says, "Donate to Nifty or the space time continuum might collapse and we can't have that." http://donate.nifty.org/donate.html DOCTOR WHO, JESSE AND JEREMY 128 Tom Baker opening face extends into David Tennant opening with accompanying music... Remembrance of the Companions part four "Going fast, Doctor, goodbye Kirsty, farewell Doctor!" "Hold on, Jamie," the Doctor turned the radar with his hand, "I'll get it right this time. Don't give up, you never have before. I'm just separating the two timelines, one will split into another universe where you save us all and die as an old crazy man...and the other will be where you live happily with your family here..." "Which will this one be?" Jamie gasped as his entire family vanished including the boy holding the Doctor's box machine. The Doctor jumped down and just caught it before it smashed onto the ground below him. He had to lay himself out flat to catch it. When he stood up, he saw Jamie as the very old man. "Noooo! Not this one!" The Doctor looked, "The machine's still working but...I'm sorry, Jamie. I'm so so very, very sorry." "Forget the apologies!" Jamie was the old, old man. "I'm going to die, too!" "My family is in another universe and..." He changed again and he was the more suave 54 year old, clean shaven man without a beard. "You did it!" The Doctor turned to see the family including the boy who had his arms out as if he were holding a box. The Doctor threw the box into the boy's outstretched and ample arms. He thought he saw the boy's dick come from under the kilt as the boy jerked to catch the box but didn't need to jerk as it was just a reaction to having already caught it. "Jamie, it worked!" He turned toward Jamie and saw the man's knees go from misshapen to normal. The face was smooth, not wrinkled. The beard shrank. Was gone. The Doctor checked Jamie out. He felt under his arms. Jamie gasped, "What are ye doin?" The Doctor felt the triceps, "No hanging flesh." The Doctor took out a measuring tape from his jacket and began to take measurements. "Aye, what are ye doing now, bloody bon doo lally!" "Aye, where do ye pick up such kin words?" The Doctor faked Scottish. "With you!" Jamie exclaimed as the Doctor measured his penis. Jamie grabbed the small ruler and broke it. He fiddled with his own hands and recovered the tape measure, "Can't leave that lying about. I was just checking to see if you were the one who was Zoey's son." "What?" "Ye...I mean you might also forget me again," the Doctor smiled. "I thought maybe you were the Zoey created construct Jamie." "Ye mean Zoey was my mother?" "Not really. It turns out she might have to do in vitro or surrogate or adopt." Kirsty came to Jamie and hugged his side, "It is okay now?" "Aye," Jamie and the Doctor both said. The Doctor touched Jamie's shoulder and hugged both Kirsty and Jamie. The son watched, hurt, that he wasn't hugged, too. Jamie swatted The Doctor off. Jamie kissed Kirsty. The Doctor cleared his throat. He went over to the boy and shook his hand, "Thanks, thank you, Jamie's son. You helped me out, you did." "He knows who you are, Doctor, they all do, Jamie's told them...stories of..." Kirsty shut up as Jamie swatted her away and put a finger to his mouth for her to be silent. He knew better than to say it out loud, "Be silent, woman," was what he wanted to say. But didn't. "What happened?" The son asked. "Well, you see," the Doctor took out a coin, "It's like your da's life was two sides of one coin. Together but separate. I just removed them from each other. A bit like..." He tossed the coin to the boy so he could delve into his own pockets again and he found, "AHA!" and took out another coin shaped object, "The two sides removed from the wrapper of one of those chocolate coin eatables...you know," he removed it, "Well, maybe you don't know." He flipped it to the boy who looked at it and compared it to the other, real coin. "Go on, then, open it...like this..." the Doctor mimicked the actions. The boy opened it. "Now, you eat it," he made as if he put something in his mouth. The boy did and then shut his eyes in delight. "Chocolate." Jamie and Kirsty laughed. "That's not an evil brew," their son said. Everyone laughed. The Doctor handed out more chocolate coins to the rest of the brood. "Well, Jamie, time for me to go. I do so love you," the Doctor smiled and came forward and kissed Jamie on the lips. He turned to them and waved with both hands, arms up, "I do so love all of you. By the way, in the future, I know your great great great great granddaughter Heather. She's a true time traveler." "Doctor," Jamie warned, "Leave my kin alone." "Here's to no mind wipe between friends," the Doctor took a drink of something one of the children brought him as Kirsty's instructions earlier. He spit it out. Jamie rolled his eyes. "Seriously," the Doctor wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Naahhh. Seriously, you were the best I ever had. I do hope you don't forget me." "Not bloody likely," Jamie smiled, "Goodbye Doctor." He came forward this time and kissed the Doctor on the lips. "One life is enough for me." "You should see how I had to untangle Peri...Peri, you've met her...untangling her six or seven lives was a mess! FOR ME! I really must go now..." He smiled, waved again, yelled, ""Creag an tuire!" and ran into the TARDIS and closed the doors. He leaned on them. His pain was growing. "Tea would be nice...Indian tea and no mutiny involved this time..." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/13/Akshardham_airpano.png New Delhi, India: an open market area with the intimidating Akshardham Temple above it. "Ben, we'll get it." "Polly Wright Lopez Bettingham Smith Jackson," the Doctor smiled. "Poll, we have one on the bus but not in the house!" Ben Jackson stated. "Sea man, semen filled Benjamin Jackson. One of me faves," the Doctor rubbed his hands together. The two 67 year old adults were surrounded by a host of children, some 24 in all, almost all of them were Indian children. Four of them had blond hair. The Doctor assumed those four were the grandchildren of Ben and Polly. All the children were picking out little trinkets or toys from tables at a makeshift bazaar on the just rained on sidewalks. The sun was drying out the streets between the two sides of the bazaar, which had one set of tables on one side of the street and another set of tables on the other. Steam was rising from the streets as the rain was dried and evaporated. He was about to introduce himself to Ben and Polly, passing right behind the pair of them. Polly laughed. Ben frustrated, picking up a roll of toilet paper, "What's so funny, me old china?" Ben nodded to one child, "That's too expensive." The Doctor put Indian money in the boy's hand. The boy looked back at him. The Doctor nodded "it's okay, take it." Polly laughed, "To think we're reduced to worrying about where we have to go to the loo." "Now look, Duchess," Ben started, "It's a major concern." "As opposed to running for our lives from pirates, smugglers, cat people, giant slug Mollusi—I always liked slugs, they always seemed so innocuous, Kill Droids, alien corpses, pepper potted mutants, Professor Magellan, Selachians, masker drug runners..." "Not so loud, Poll," Ben looked around, "People will..." "Oh, let them hear. Loo, toilets, ease droppers can't get me riled up." She giggled and picked up a doll and handed it to a little Indian girl that was among their number. "Cannibals, highlanders, British Red Coats, the forces of Oliver Cromwell..." "Okay, okay..." Ben laughed now, "I can go where ever, even the holes in the ground until..." The Doctor looked between them, "Blimey. Sounds like you two have had an interesting life." Polly nodded, "Yes." She and Ben looked at him suspiciously. Ben frowned, "Too interesting. Life's just fine now and fulfilling. There's nothing like raising a family..." "Are these all yours?" The Doctor asked. "No, we run an orphanage," Polly gathered up two of the little girls and took them by the hand, "Tourist, are you?" "You might say that," the Doctor shrugged. "Then, you should learn, that jacket in India is going to make you roast," Polly offered. Ben smiled and put a hand on the Doctor's shoulder, "You don't get out much, do you, me ole china? She'll help steer you in the right direction." "Our life is great this way—traveling aimlessly----even though we were together, was just...sort of empty, you know? What we do now affects people. Children. We make a difference." " Ben broke in, "Me wife'll keep preaching to ya if you don't stop her." Polly smiled, "It's just I believe in what we do now." The Doctor asked, `What? What do you do now?" Polly answered, "We run an orphanage here in India, if you want to help in any way." The Doctor took some money out of his pocket and handed it to her. Polly laughed, "I didn't mean by giv..." Polly looked at the actual amount, "Money. This is way too much, sir." "No, no, no, take it. I have more on my...in my bank," the Doctor said, "You didn't enjoy traveling?" "The stuff you heard...it was just life was too dangerous traveling like that. We love what we have now." Polly gently guided the girls along the table. She checked her watch, "I'm sorry, we have to get back...our driver has to leave..." VALE/VALE DECEM "Nice chatting with you both," the Doctor said. He shrugged. He grew sad as he watched the two gather up their group and load them into a bus nearby. "The one life I never had. Well, not for long anyway. Had it but lost it." He backed away, watching the happy group tease and pat each other, happily interacting. He had to find the tree the TARDIS was behind, not far from the huge Akshardham. A small bit of Song of Freedom music...happier music and fades into... After the usual introductions and unusual apologies for appearing The TARDIS inside her house instead of outside somewhere, The Doctor and Dodo were sat on two adjacent sides of a small kitchen table. Drinking tea. The wall paper was yellow. With flowers. They were laughing. "Yes, well, Doctor, I'm sorry I left you that way. WOTON did a number on me. It was just so much. I really couldn't handle it all. That...this life of yours." "Most of the time I feel the same way, regardless of all the bravado I give off. Massive super computers that are evil often take over my friends and cause their lives to...change...for the worse." Dodo took a sip of tea. The Doctor drank some tea, "This helps. Helps stabilize me. Wandsworth Common, nice." A windmill surrounded by green leaves branching off of trees could be seen from the semi large window in the kitchen. "You and...Mr. Stevens, is it? Stevens, yes, you've done well?" "Yes, we have. Thanks to you. Thank you for saving me from The Master. I appreciate it." "Appreciate it? What a strange thing to say. Of course I'd do that." Her cockney accent all but vanished and she sounded more Oxford educated. "You changed time for me. Not something I'd forget. I mean, I'm not remotely important. I wasn't then. I'm not now. Then, if I went on, I wouldn't have had James. No children. Just killed by the poor Mr. Cleary." "Well, poor Francis Cleary is dead now. Out of that coma, died in his mum's arms. Another debt I owe I the Master." "I can't believe you're from the same people as him." "Neither can I." "But...time could have been damaged." Dodo offered him some cookies. He still felt Mrs. Wibbsey's in his stomach. He nodded no to her. "You say you're not important. But even if you were alone, I'd have done that. Who said you weren't important? You're more important in a way than I am. You're with someone who loves you, someone who stuck by you when...well, when you were dead! And he's still with you. I've never really had that. One way or the other they always leave. Me. And raising children. I did that once...but you raising a child...that's very important." "But it doesn't affect time." "Dodo, one child can effect time more than you know. Your's will." "I saved you for those reasons and...wellllll, I like happy endings. Of all types." Dodo blushed, "Oh Doctor," she laughed and sipped some more tea. Suddenly, her cockney accent returned. "Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor," she looked at the coo coo clock as the dodo bird inside came out and sounded, "It's almost time for James to come home. He doesn't like to even speak of you." "You both remember both time lines, don't you?" The Doctor stood up, understanding. "Yes, I do up to the point the Master had Cleary shoot me. He remembers a great deal more, a whole life without me. Without our child." "I fixed what I could. Sometimes if something is tragic enough, both memories linger and stay. Sometimes they go. Fast. Or slowly. They might still. Or they might not but I'll go now," the Doctor took her hand and kissed it, "Dear, dear Dodo. Live your life, you deserve it." Before she could say he was, too, he added, "You're a really good person." He moved out of the kitchen as she watched him. She followed. He turned, "That's all I needed was a little bit of tea. It helped. So did you, Dodo. Thank you." "Thank you," Dodo smiled, "Now, get out of here." He nodded. Later in TARDIS, the Doctor looked, "Okay, that takes care of Louise, Tom, Jenny, Jack, Dot, Strong, Chertzog, Shelly, Hill, the Mortimer family...who's next, old girl? Who?" The Doctor stood outside a haunted house in Ely across the Fens. It wasn't raining. But the threat was there. The night sky filled with bolts of light, sometimes flashes that illuminated parts of the house. He could see a figure in one of the windows on the occasion that a bolt hit just right. Was it a man or a woman? "I wonder which you took. I seem to remember meeting you again, Sara Kingdom." He moved closer. A voice. Male. In his head, "Doctor. This is Robert. Come no closer. You are here. It's not permitted. Sara will be fine. She has taken the body you have given her." "I?" "Yes. We're...I'm not allowed to tell you more." "Ahh, I see. I think I even remember doing it now," The Doctor looked up at the window, "Robert, where is she?" "The Death Zone for a time," Robert answered, "She will return. We know she will." "I had to do it that way. The technology is no longer available in 200, 760 AD. Whatever my involvement, no one else must know. Especially not that council of old men." "Trust me, Doctor. Trust the house. Trust your house." "I do, Robert, I do." The Doctor turned and then stopped, "Robert, your daughter. I could...bring her here to visit...I know she never comes here again...after all you've done for her. I can go get her..." "NO! Doctor, do not go near her. Let her have a normal life." More lightning. Another thunder blast. The Doctor swallowed. Was he so bad that people such as Ben and Polly, even Dodo, didn't really want him around their families? "I just thought...I sensed your loneliness..." "Just come visit me as you do every so often, Doctor. Next time bring those two hot boys of yours." "What? Who? Mickey and Jack?" "Uhm, what? Oh yes, them. Mickey and Jes...uhm, Jer and Jack. Mickey, yes, that's it. Goodbye for now, Doctor." "Goodbye Robert." The Doctor moved away and turned but turned again to face the house, "Oh, and Robert..." "Yes?" "I'm glad you gave Sara that choice." "Miss Kingdom did what she said she would do. She deserved to live again...for a time. She had her own family trials and trails to make right." "Yes, well, it was very brave thing to do." "Thank you, Doctor. Coming from you that means a great deal." He wasn't sure what that meant. He nodded and waved at the window. He was sure it was Sara in the window. Another image was behind her now. Robert. "There are some things Time Lord was not meant to know." He turned and moved to the river bank where the TARDIS, dark in front, lit from behind by a lightning strike to the river, stood. Thunder grew louder. He ran inside and closed the door. Light rain started as soon as he closed the door. "It is good," Sara's voice said. Light flashing across the river, the sky, the house. A louder thunder clap. The thunder clap seemed to overtake the TARDIS as it flew up from the ground traditionally. "Come on, girl, I just think of a companion and you take me," the Doctor said, "You know the next one..." He grabbed the console as the ship tilted, the entire room being thrown to one side and then the next...he saw the TARDIS flying over the river, then another river, a red river...and then...whiteness filled the screen, his head. Birds, sunlight...chirping...rabbits. Rolling green hills. A field of flowers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goethe_Elysium_crop.jpg "Is she all right?" A dark haired young girl picked flowers in the field. A taller, dark haired warrior woman stood next to the Doctor, holding herself in a straight up position. "She's better than all right. She's at peace. She's happy." "That's all I ever wanted for any of them," the Doctor said, "For everyone really. Even for me. But she...she wanted so much to see her destiny." "You got her here. You got her past that miser Charon, used a dog whistle to stop Cerberus—not how I or Herc would have done it but less violence is always a good thing..." "Didn't you know you felt that way Warrior Princess..." "AND you pleaded her case before Hades..." "The old goat. If it weren't for his beautiful wife..." Xena looked around and smiled, "Don't let him hear you say that. If it weren't for your charm, she wouldn't have...well, you get the idea. You got Katarina here." A blond boy in ancient Greek clothing came up to her, "Mother..." "Have you hidden the Palace of Perfection?" "Yes, mother. I've covered it with green leaves. She won't see it." "I must be going. I really shouldn't be here at all." Xena smiled and took his hand, "You're telling me that?" "Who is this man, mother?" "Solan, might I introduce the Doctor." "Your son?" The Doctor looked from him to her. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9a/Solan.jpg Solan looked at their locked hands, "Doctor of what?" "That's a good question. Not the one most people ask but smarter. Of practically everything," the Tenth Doctor smiled and shook the boy's hand. "You will look after her, won't you?" "No need. NO one here needs looking after. The Elysian Fields are...paradise." The Doctor squinted as he saw Katarina kneeling, gathering flowers. She turned to them and waved. The Doctor waved back. "She thinks I'm Zeus." Xena laughed loud and long. Solan joined her a bit. "I've met Zeus. You're so much not Zeus." "Well, thanks a lot." The Doctor frowned. "He's bigger," Solan said. "That helps a lot, thanks," The Doctor smiled. Xena, "I've met him. He tried to kill my unborn child. What I meant was that you're so much better than Zeus, Doctor." "Thank you, my lady," the Doctor took her hand and kissed it. She, in turned, leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. "Are you staying here, sir?" Solan asked, without worry, without malice. "I'll be here soon enough," the Doctor said, "This incarnation maybe. Maybe this is where we go. There are some things even I do not know." "You DO have his arrogance," Xena elbowed him in the ribs. "OW!" "Baby." Xena laughed, "But he wouldn't even admit that there was anything he didn't know." Hercules came up from over the hill. "Xena, Solan, the show is ready. Are we going?" He looked at them. "Hercules, allow me to introduce..." "The Doctor." Hercules shook the Doctor's hand and arm and nearly lifted him off the ground. "You two know each other?" "Intimately," the Doctor said. Xena raised an eyebrow. Solan snickered. He himself was partial to the male figure. "As friends," Hercules said, "Are you dead, Doctor?" "No, but I'm well on my way," the Doctor said, "I have to get to my Palace of Perfection." They said their goodbyes and Solan told him, "It was nice to meet you, sir. I have a feeling we will be meeting again." "I hope so," the Doctor said to the lean boy. "Well, so long..." he walked away, away from Katarina's area. Herc put an arm around Xena, who put an arm around Solan. "He seems rather sad today," Hercules said. "I know." Xena added, "He gets that way when...oh..." Solan smiled, "I think he liked me." "Who wouldn't like you?" Xena asked. "No," Hercules joked, "Who would like you. Who does like you." "Is that a question?" "No, a statement," Hercules faked a poke to Solan's stomach, "Got ya." "Missed," the boy leaned away. They laughed. The Doctor walked to the hill. He looked back. He saw the small trio, a family. It made him sadder. Beyond them, he saw the girl on her knees, gathering flowers in the bright sunlight. This was paradise. He had to leave it. "EXTERMINATE!" He knew he was out of paradise the moment he heard that exclamation. There were people in a council chamber running and ducking. There was his old friend Steven Taylor. He should have been older than he looked but the Elders were very advanced technologically. They could follow TARDISes and other time machines on a type of radar screen. They themselves did not travel in time, choosing not to, to stay apart. He intended to materialize in the rocky desert plains but he surmised upon realizing that the TARDIS was in the heart of a new city that the savages and the Elders must have built a new city in the heart of the desert and changed it to a flowering garden, not unlike the Elysian fields he just left. The building had walls in some places but many "holes" were left for trees and bushes to flow through. In some parts there were no ceilings or roofs. He noticed then why the people were running and ducking. It had to do with the many rounds of "EXTERMINATE!" he heard chanting all over and with a malice he hadn't heard before. The familiar pepper pot monster aliens were all over the place chasing people. Who were yelling. A Dalek came right at Steven. The Doctor hit the screen, ran for the door knob, opened it and dashed out the doors, closing them. "Steven!" The Doctor ran out of the TARDIS and into a council chamber where open walls lead to flora, all green. Rocks beyond seemed to be more grassy than he remembered the last time he was here. "A Dalek, Steven!" The Doctor ran at the Dalek, grabbed out his sonic screwdriver and set it to rattle the Dalek as it came at the 80 year old man, Steven Taylor, who although he had aged, didn't look 80. He looked more like he was 40 years old. Steven grabbed the Doctor and pulled him away, "No, Doctor!" "I won't let you sacrifice yourself for me," the Doctor yelled, "I might be able to..." As the Dalek gun fired, the Doctor looked away. If he hadn't, he would have seen the gun blow up and the Dalek get the full effect of the weapon turning itself in on the travel machine. The many sides of the Dalek burst from each other and fell away, leaving the thing inside writhing, burning. The smell was horrific. "What?" The Doctor turned and saw other Daleks exploding. Some were inside the chambers of the open airy building. Some were in hallways. Outside, he heard more explosions. "What? WHAT?!" "The Elders found a way?" The Doctor asked. "I'd wondered why the Daleks never touched their planet..." "We're all Elders now, Doctor, no more savages," Steven smiled, "We finally have peace." "How? I'd like to know." "Well," Steven walked to a smoking, dead Dalek. "If you hadn't noticed, these are very old style Daleks..." http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Chase_(TV_story)?file=DaleksBeginChase.jpg "I did notice. Doesn't make them any less dangerous..." "Actually, Doc, it does," Steven said and patted the side of the Dalek dome. "It's still hot." He looked at the eye stalk, "These have just tested their first time travel attack. They didn't account for covering themselves against the vortex's time winds. They didn't know about them." The Doctor laughed, "The fools. But don't underestimate them...so...?" "The time winds can sometimes eat away at something unprotected. They were in their Dardises but didn't cover their ships or selves with protective coating...our impulse machine, which we activated as soon as we saw their time machines on our scopes...just gave the damage a little push and..." "Poof...?" "Poof!" Steve went wide eyed as a child. "What'd you call me?" the Doctor asked, jokingly. "What? Is that expression, an anti- gay thing? Certainly, with Oliver you weren't..." "No, just kidding. Dear, sweet Oliver. Since I last saw you, what--- I was in my yellow haired, cricketer body? "I think so." Steven smiled and laughed. He held the Doctor's arms, "Let me take this one in." "And you Steven Taylor, gave up on me!" The Doctor pointed, "You told the others you and they would never see me again." He broke from the hold, and pointed again, "Oh, that's rude. I started that way...didn't think wonder if I'd finish that way, too. You don't seem to have aged much...what year is this?" he put his hands on the lapels of his jacket and stood up as straight as he could. "Nearest we can figure, 7,000,000,013? Don't you know? No, don't answer that. Why does that surprise me?" "I'm better now..." "Oh, yes, I'm sure but I...I really kinda liked the old boy, you know." "Yes. Yes, so did I," the Tenth Doctor smiled and relaxed, breaking his straight stance, "You've made me realize, whatever, whoever is me, it'll still be me." "Of course, same old Doctor," Steven laughed and took the Doctor's arm, "Let's go get some food." "I don't think I'd be able to hold it down. I'm dying." Steven put his arm around the Tenth Doctor. "Wha? Is there anything...?" "Don't look so distraught my BFF," the Doctor smiled, "I..." "BFF what's that?" "Best friend forever," the Doctor said. Steven laughed, "Doctor..." Avon and Flower came with a tray. Avon said, "Doctor." "Thanks but do you have any tea?" He asked, "Helps me synapses, might stave it off...oh..." he winced and almost fell. "Doc, perhaps you better lie down," Steven caught the skinny man. It was odd. He felt this was the Doctor he knew. Even at the touch, it was the same man but different, too. "No, no. No time," the Doctor dusted himself off, "Say hello to Senta and Nanina, Edal, Jano---he's got a little bit of me in him, you know, my boy, Tor, Chal and anyone else I've forgotten." He ran to the TARDIS, "Goodbye Steven. I promise not to wait another five lives before visit again." "Doc, any visit from you is worth the wait," Steven laughed, "Good luck." "Thanks and don't call me Doc!" he laughed, waved and slammed the doors. "Don't know how much more I can hold this off." "1178 BC?" "Is that?" She squinted to see a tall blue box behind one of the giant wood piles her husband had gathered after the long day's work. "The false Cressida." The Doctor opened his arms. "It IS you!" "Yes, Vicki. It's been a very long time," he told her. "Yes, the last time you had this long curly brown hair," Vicki smiled. "Told us to get to Ancient Briton. Well, we did but we didn't work out---we had other problems---some of our people did stay there. We've come to this place that shall be called Italy in a long time from now. We've made a go of it. I'm glad you check on us from time to time." "Yes, so to speak," the Doctor took her arm and put it inside his. "For me that was hundreds of years ago." "Really? It's only been one and a half for us. For me. You came back." "Walk with me." "You never met my husband...I do so want you to but..." "Trouble in past paradise?" "I don't know really. We haven't really..." "Show me where he is." Troilus had a long day's work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Troilos_Louvre_CA6529.jpg He had been making a quinquereme, an oar powered warship. He was developing it from a trireme. Having ingratiated themselves into the slave force, a blond boy, one of two, followed him into the tent. Troilus turned, "What do you want, slave?" Troilus noticed the boy was completely naked, as was he. Their loin cloths taken off in the tent with alarming alacrity. And sweating from the hard day's work in the sun. "I'm no longer a slave." "Yes, you do the work of ten men. I shall grant you your freedom as promised. And some of the others as well. But you are best amongst them all." Troilus noticed the boy was very attractive in soul, body, and face. He was immediately interested. Aroused. He could not hide that fact. The boy looked at Troilus's enlargening penis shaft, "And you...you're ripped. Hot." "I am hot but not torn." "No, I mean cut...shredded..." "I am neither, strange foreign boy." It was clear Troilus didn't understand everything about this nude boy but that he liked what he saw. His entire expression was one of joy, pleasure and even love. "Meaty...but lean..." "I do not understand your words. The words of a foreign land unlike my own. Your blond hair suggests the Baltic Sea..." "Yours is light as well..." "Not as shiny as your ray of sunshine," Troilus took a jug of water and smiled as he drank from it. He offered it to the boy, who took it and drank and then with the water still in his mouth, closed in bodily on Troilus, who at first thought it was an attack from which he was too tired to extricate himself. He let the boy in close. The boy put his mouth over Troilus's thick lips and both opened. The boy put water into his mouth. "I've never..." "You've thought about it," the boy smiled, "You deserve it." "As do you for your day's work." "You have a sun tattoed on your left thigh. It's nice. I'm going to make it really hot burn by adding to it, my own kerosene." The boy led Troilus to the bed of skins and wooden slates. He put one leg over Troilus, who locked eyes with the blue eyed wonder. His own long locks flowed down his shoulders as the boy gently put Troilus onto back, hovering over him. Their zero percent body fat made touching a warm sensation, hard, muscular, yet soft in some places and the touching of their tight legs made the skin on skin contact give rise to even more warm sensations. They melted into each other. The boy took up fist and put both dicks in it. He rubbed. He then leaned down with both hands on the bed and lowered himself. He looked down and made sure his dick shaft was under Troilus's dickshaft, the prince's uncut shaft throbbing beneath its own skin. The dickhead, red, and lively pushed itself forth from the folds of the nozzle. It was wet. He held himself up with his arms straight and his torso buried into the torso of the Trojan prince. The touch, the untouch, the touch, the untouch. At first it was easy going...but smooth and hard at the same time...macho and yet loving... The "slave boy" used his dick ---the head on both sides and the shaft sides to pull the other man's foreskin down. He could have done it with his fingers---as he has before but this was so much more fun. They both felt the sticky glue that aligned the movement of the head, both heads providing. The foreskin trapped some of it which made Troilus feel he was about to give forth his man spew. "Oh, that's feeling so..." "So what?" The blond made more of the foreskin inch down, rubbing along a vein that curled on the side and on top. It, too, was thick. Eventually, with feelings of pleasure not subsiding, the boy jerked the foreskin down using his hips and adjusting them so that the penis acted like a crowbar bringing it down around the ample man meat. The foreskin one side lagged where the dick didn't reach but the boy swiveled his hips and was able to make the shaft prick it down on that side, too, causing tingling feelings on that side of Troilus. He sprang and jerked like an uncorked bottle of seltzer or a slinky. The thrusts that came from that gave him more pleasure. "So fantastic. Of the gods!" "From the skies." The boy said. "Yes, heaven! The other side...nothing on this land can make me feel so good." "Oh, that's nothing. Nothing's cum to you yet..." The blond wiggled his shaft around so the dickpoint would slit itself around the flat, sectioned belly of the warrior prince. As he watched their dicks strive for prominence, he leaned down and kissed the lips of Troilus. "You're so fucking hot, so fucking young, so young, so innocent...I love you." The boy put his dick to the prince's navel and skirted the ridge, taking hold of his shaft for a bit. His own pre cum slathered over the ridge, lining it with crystal like precision. He let go so it could dangle and mingle of its own accord. The prince's shaft rose up and upended the boy's under dick. He pinned the prince's dick under his own and then did the opposite, let the prince's thick meat, elongated and tumescent, rise over his own and he then pressed his torso, tight and corded, down onto the shaft, which in turn, was pressed against his own which lay on top the prince's hard stomach muscles. At the same time, their bodies writhed and shook in slow ecstasy. They moaned and huffed all the time. Wet lines of pre cum lay all over their bellies, both above and below, the boy's dripped down onto the prince's ---at times in slow motion. At times, the pre cum threatened to not hit the Prince's hard muscular six pack but backtracked up to the boy's dick slit so the boy, if saw these moments, shook himself so that he pre cum would continue its descent. It was at these moments that he felt his voluntary move also caused a second, more pronounced involuntary shudder---shudder hardly does the feeling of jerking orgasmic feeling justice---wracked and rocked him. His body quivered of its own accord and at times, the boy felt he was not in control of it. "What you do to me." "And you to me, wrack me with waves of joy to the ends of the earth..." "Oh, Troilus you DO say the most beautiful things!" The blond turned sideways and moved his lover the same way so that their dicks were pointing at each other. They made the heads touch, the slits move into each other with burning passion. The wetness felt good there and made tingling rise from dickhead to mid shaft, holding there for a bit as their thickness and veins rubbed. They rocked up and down on the bed on their hips. "Ohhhh!" "OAAHHH!" Troilus was racked with vibrations all over his body. The heat and the vigor of the sun made a mix on him, on his sweat, with his pre cum. He felt so alive. "OH, it is good!" "Yeah, baby, yeah!" The blond said. "Hey!" A voice came from the tent opening. "Can I get in on this, too?" It was another boy, rags coming off his hips, who began to step out of them. Green eyes. Bright blond hair. Muscled, too. "Join the group, J," the first blond said. The new arrival came to the bed, dropping those rags and instead of getting on, he stood by the side of the bed and managed his nine inch cock to touch both the touching ends of their dicks. The three dicks met there. The new one jerked his shaft to fullness and the head throbbed against the other two heads. A three way wetness formed in the center---its own entity. A game of bubble formed between the three heads. It seemed to thrive and live of its own accord. A second bubble formed within it. "HAAAA!" The new one thrust his hips some more and his shaft stuck the bubble and it popped, splashing the top of each mush room head and also coating the shafts of all three of them, almost to the end. Balls swung. The third one now stood up on the bed, on his knees. Instead of sideways, now the other two were on their knees as well. They met their cock heads in the center, each one sword fighting the other, moving into and over the other. The first boy felt Troilus's dick bounce under his and hit his under shaft, which gave him great stimulation. He held his balls back but he wanted to fire right there. At the exact same time, his partner, the green eyed boy, ROLLED his shaft over the side of the first boy's shaft, making him stimulate there and shudder. Step of ladders of passion waved through all three of them, starting at their shafts where they met and rising and cascading from there like a sound wave bomb, only this was made of air waves and sex vibe. They moaned, groaned, gasped, huffed, puffed, sucked in air. In the meantime, their arms were around each other, supporting, rubbing, holding. Their faces met and no two of them ignored a third. They all gave each other ministrations. Two worked on one. One worked on two. And they changed the roles until all of them had a chance to ministrate facially. Tongues and kisses, saliva on necks. Throat tonguing. Kissing lips. Light biting. They did it all. "Did you ever think maybe he's the wrong man for you? And you for him?" "Me, the wrong man?" "You the wrong woman for him, the wrong man. Maybe he's..." While the trio continued to have sexual rubbing, frotting as it were, they didn't notice that the tent opening was parted. Vicki stood there, eyes wide. The trio didn't see her and all three of them collapsed together onto the bed, on their sides, although their skin on skin contact continued and they didn't stop. The third green eyed boy moved over Troilus but Troilus jerked him over so that Troilus was on top. The other boy, the blue eyed one, pushed himself between them from the side, laying sideways. The green eyed one turned so that his dick encompassed the blue eyes one's dick. On top of the green eyed boy's dick and the other boy's dick was the Troilus dick, covering both, nubbing down and up and fisting them all three together. Vicki put her hands to her mouth, horrified. The Doctor peeked over her shoulder. The boys' heads and faces were obscured to him. He couldn't see them clearly. He had a semi good look at their bodies and a good look at what they were doing. He puffed. He smiled. The one he saw the most of was Troilus, who was on top. The others were turned away from him. Vicki ran. "Icki." The Doctor turned and ran after her. He came back after a few seconds to see more, "Well not really. Quite nice really. Yup" He turned again and ran from the tent to follow his friend, "Vicki!" Vicki ran from the tent area. The Doctor followed her and quick to catch up to her. She put her face in her hands and fell to her knees. The Doctor put a hand on her back. He had to admit and cover for the fact that he was very, very aroused. In the tent, all three dick slits parted at the same time and sperm flowed. It shot at their under bellies and coated. It shot and shot and shot. Chests were covered. The trio got up on their knees as they were rocked by spasms of firing cock shot after cock shot. Chests were filled. "Cum gutters filled!" One of the blonds said. It was true. All their abs, the ridges between abs, flowed with white and yellow boy juice. It dripped down them and flowed so much that there was almost nowhere for some of it to go so it caked up on their bellies and upper stomachs and lower chests, pecs were nearly filled with a lake beneath. The blue eyed one made sure his cum coated over the sun tattoo on Troilus's thigh. "You...you're right, it...it does burn..." "Hurt?" "It's nice. It is soooo good. Th...than...thank you!" "Shhh," the blue eyed one said, "Shhh." The green eyed one added, "Yeah, just enjoy it." They shook again and laid back down, huffing. "Who were those slave boys? I think I've seen them before but I'm not sure where they were captured..." "I don't know," the Doctor said, "But I can find out." He turned to leave her to go see more. She grabbed his arm, "No, Doctor, don't bother. I've never seen such things." "Yes," the Doctor thought about that. He smiled. He tried to not let it show. He swallowed, "Yes." "Aren't you glad you found out now before you gave your whole life to him." "Doctor, I felt I already have done that." "Staying here, you mean?" "And not going on with you. Just like..." "So many others." The Doctor stared at the top of a ridge. From it something moved up. A head of brown thick hair...followed by... ...a more than half naked man came up a hill and found the top of it...the desert mound Vicki's people were camped at. "Is someone building a city here?" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Diomedes_with_the_Palladion_%28Glyptothek%29.jpg "Naked guys all over the place. You barbarians really did–do know how to have fun. Get behind me, Vicki!" the Doctor took a stance, "I warn you I can take you down with my thumb..." "My word, my luck, it is you I come upon first," Diomedes exclaimed. "What? What? What?" "Diomedes!" Vicki lost her distress and ran to him. "Who?" "Diomedes!" "Who?" Diomedes dropped a large sack he had been hauling on his back, "Cressida!" "Oh, that one I know." The Doctor turned. "Do you two know each other?" Diomedes and Vicki ignored him as they hugged each other tightly. Diomedes kissed her neck. "I maintain, my love, that you chose wrongly." She looked over his large shoulder to the Doctor, who nodded to her. Then, revelation overcame his face. "Right," he pointed up at the sky and moved away. Diomedes broke the hug and went for his sack. He took out a statue that he had stolen from Troy. Vicki gasped and clapped, "The Palladium! Aenus will love it back!" Diomedes handed it to her, "I came to talk to him." "Talk? I don't think that's a good idea. After the war and all that." Vicki held the statue up to the light of the sun, "She's really quite manly looking isn't she?" Diomedes laughed, "Cressida, you can't say things like that. The wrath...she's beautiful..." "Maybe just the way the artist interpreted her. I'll give it back to Aenus," Vicki smiled and laughed up at him, admiring his beautiful face, his muscled biceps, and his chiseled jaw. As they walked up to the make shift camp in the desert, Aenus came up to them. Behind him were more of his men and they drew swords. One had a spear. "I have news..." Diomedes said, not even a bit intimidated. In just a loin cloth after the hard day's work, Aenus was wide eyed, "You dare come here?!" "I am no longer your enemy." "As if that I shall let all you have done to my people and I ever pass..." "I have. Turnus...he wants to make war on you and your people...he wanted me to help him." Aenus didn't want to admit it but with Diomedes and his forces behind him, Turnus could win. "What did you tell him?" Aenus asked. "I have told him that I have fought enough Trojans in my life and that it best if he make peace with you." "That is a blessing." "You deserve it and I have brought Cressida the Palladium. It is felt by the goddesses that you should possess it thusly." "Another blessing. Who would have thought," Aenus drew a sword, "That one who slew so many Trojans would honor us with such blessings." "My purpose in Italy is to live in peace..." He smiled. Aenus leveled his sword at Diomedes' bare stomach, "You were foolish to come here alone..." "It was the only way I could think of doing it. A way of peace..." "Your way of peace has no mind." Vicki came forward, "Aenus, what are you doing?" "He killed many a Trojan. For all I know he killed my first wife." Aenus came forward, sword drawn toward Diomedes' bare belly. Vicki put herself in front of Diomedes. He put his hands on her arms to move her away from him. "I do not kill women." Diomedes said to Aenus at the same that he put Vicki aside. Of the ease that the warrior moved her aside, Vicki was infuriated and amazed at the same time. She pulled a face. Aenus wouldn't let it go, "Unlike your Achilles...killing Penthesileia did him no favor amongst the gods." "The time for killing is over...for me. You may fight Turnus but for as I told him..." Diomedes puffed up his bare chest, "It is time for peace. My city Aphrodisia, which you Trojans call Venusia, is a peace offering to Aphrodite, which you call Venus. Anyone here, not part of your war force, women, elderly, children under 9, the fey, are welcome there with open arms." He turned to look at Vicki, who shook her head no. "We need every man able to fight Turnus. You know that. For it is for what you have already done, I'm going to open your belly." Aenus seemed to be filled with blood lust. "No, you are not, my cousin," Troilus came out of his tent, sweating. "Let them go." He had been watching all of this from his tent. As soon as Troilus left the tent, a big muscled man with very long, dark hair and dressed in Victorian clothing... http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/content/images/2007/05/15/paul_telfer_396x222.jpg http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/program/porady/10190146141/foto/kdo-luke.jpg http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/paul-telfer-2005-nbc-winter-press-tour-tca-party-0BeTu5.jpg http://images.wikia.com/ncis/images/c/c8/NCIS_DAMON_WERTH.jpg ...came in, making a rip with a knife in the back of the tent. "You two get up. Time to go. Your job is done." "We didn't even get to do a blow job..." Jesse said. The Doctor noticed his lover was still dripping from many places, not the least of which was his dick parting, "Cum on, he'll back in just a few moments..." Jeremy got up, wrinkling his hot cum covered abs. "My loin cloth?" "Leave it. You can go the way you are. TARDIS is just outside the tent. I got it to appear without a sound." "There's a big feat." "It's not must my feet that are big," the New Doctor smiled. "That doesn't even make sense," Jesse said as he got up. "Come on!" The Doctor grabbed him by the wrists and bodily lifted him off the bed to his feet. "Hey, you're strong." "You should now that by now." The Doctor patted his bare ass. And did the same to Jeremy. "All ready. Let's split..." "I'll do that for you inside the TARDIS, Doc." "I love when you call me Doc." "That's new, too," Jesse commented as they left the tent from the back rip. "Them?" Aenus asked and sheathed his sword. Vicki relaxed. "Yes, them," Troilus looked at Vicki. She nodded her agreement. She picked up the Palladium statue and handed it to Aenus. "You would let her go?" Aenus asked, "She is your wife." "No. No, she is not. No longer," Troilus said, "I free her of those bonds. Bonds which I made." "We both made," Vicki came up to him and kissed him on the mouth. "Thank you," she whispered. "Let it be done and let me see the back of you," he parted from her and went to Diomedes, "Do not abandon her as you did...Callirrhoe...and other women who have helped you with your...your needs." "I have made many mistakes. I shall not abandon her. She shall be happy. I have loved her from the moment I set eyes on her." "I understand," Troilus said, "I have my own servant boy." He nodded to Diomedes, "If I hear messenger of you hurting her, I shall slay thee." "It will not come to pass," Diomedes said and shook his arm, grabbing it up. Troilus did not shake back and instead, turned and went to his tent. Vicki had forgotten all about the Tenth Doctor, who had slipped away the moment he knew Diomedes would take her away. In his tent, Troilus found he was alone once more. The two boys were gone. He wondered where. Troilus picked up his sword and felt the handle. It felt good. "I wanted adventure, not war...my dear Cressida. But now...I want to stick this into boys, into men...I will be a force to be reckoned with...I shall invade them from the sea and their navels will know my sword point..." Other worldly planet, purple sky, pink sand, large blue building. Psychedelic. Advant guarde. "You must be John or should I say Professor John Who?" "Grandfather," John gasped, "Are you still running?" "Like I've done my whole life." "Gillian and I heard that Gallifrey was destroyed. There were something like ten more copies of it though, weren't there?" "Yeah? I thought it was twelve. How is she?" "Married. With ten children." "Wow. One for each of my lives." "I teach here now, Zebedee University on Zebedee. It is a good place, like you said. I like helping students." "Teachers and students. We're all teachers and students." "We're all shepherds, too," John said. He was young looking. Bright blond-red hair. Blue eyes. Freckles. "That we are," the Doctor said, "Is there any place I can find her?" "Gillian? Not now. She's having her 11th." The Doctor raised his eyebrows. Raised his head and turned it to one side. The Doctor frowned, "She, too? Me, too actually." "Can you stay for a time?" John asked. "Not really. I have to go see your cousin, Susan. You remember Susan, don't you?" "Yes, I do," he said, "Although she left Gallifrey, a long time before...or was it after...us? I can't remember." "Mmmm, don't let it bother you. It might be both." "We never did find out who got us off Gallifrey, Doctor. It was some strange girl with black hair and a pretty face." "John. You always did have an eye for the pretty girls, aye?" The Doctor winked and nudged his body into the Doctor. "Actually...eeeee," John looked down, bashful. "No." "What? Whatever do you...oh..." The Doctor looked at him, "Oh, that. Right. Well, there's nothing wrong with that." "You can't even say it, can you?" "No, I'm very open to that sort of thing." Fourth Doctor voice, "Very open now in fact, so open it sometimes hurts." "You're not embarrassed of me, are you?" John asked. "Nope, not at all." The Doctor put an arm around John. "I think I've even found a race that can have children biologically. A race that are just men. I have to search them out some more though." "Well, take your time, John. As for Gallifrey, there are some that say it's still around. I've always meant to actually find out one day. There was a pocket of time that held it but I think that's gone now." "Well, I don't know. I have mixed feelings about it. I mean there were so many people on it trying to kill our family." "I know!" The Doctor laughed, "But not any more..." "You think?" "I think." The Doctor said, "Which sometimes is over rated. I have to go. Give my best to Gillian, her husband, it is a husband, isn't it?" "Yes, Doctor. Grandfather." "Ahh. Give them all my love. The ten and the 11th. And you, I'm so very, very proud of you," the Doctor hugged him sideways. "I'll see you again. But probably not with these eyes, though." "You mean?" The Doctor moved back from him and walked backwards, "Yes." "John Alydon Ganatus Chesterton?" The Tenth Doctor stopped a man outside a huge amphitheater. "Who wants to know?" His tone was annoyed. "A fan." "This is Cambridge. How did you get in here?" Frosty. "I just doctored my way in." The Doctor held up the photograph of Johnny, rock star. It read Johnny Guitar Chess in almost unrecognizable letters. Johnny read it, "To Ace...Ace, that's...that chick that...doctored? You..." He seemed aware of who Ace was. "Yes, I'm him. Are they here?" "I'm meeting them for lunch. What do you want with them now?" His tone was cold again. "You seem to know me, how nice." "Not for you," he did not smile. "How have you come by that ?" "She was 14. You were 17 and famous. You broke her heart." "I'm 41 now. I don't remember, actually." "By now, she probably doesn't either." "I did know another friend of yours. Tegan." "Ahh. There's karma's revenge for breaking Ace's heart." "You said it. She broke mine." "I'm sorry. Really. How did you know of Tegan?" "My parents talked of her. She's recruited their help for her charities, just like other friends of yours have. They're usually nice people. Unlike..." "Me?" "Look, they don't need your stumbling into their lives again. The last time...left them with a sometime aging, sometimes not aging thing." The Doctor looked puzzled, "Last time? Aging?" "Do you know what it's like to have parents that look younger than you do?" "Well, yeah." "People have been asking questions. Most of the time they look like they did when they were with you in the 1960s." "Well, I'll see about that." "Look, just leave them alone." He put his hands up and barred the doors with his body. Just then, as the Doctor started to stare Johnny down, two blue doors on the other side burst open and the two college professors, Ian and Barbara came through them. After the greetings, the Doctor enquired about their problem. "I think it must be...well, the, ahh, TARDIS was supposed to have that effect on anyone traveling in it but the magnetic field of some unnamed unstable planet...that was destroyed not moments after I got the Rills, Steven, and Vicki off..." "Steven? Vicki?" Barbara asked, "How are they?" "Good, good," he said. "Just come from seeing each of them. One in the far future, one in the far past. You figure out which is where. In any case, that planet's field ruined that effect of the TARDIS. I've forgotten about that. It obviously was working with you two. Then after that whole business with the Dravhins and the Rill, it was not." Fourth Doctor voice, "Fixed that for Jesse and Jeremy, though, I did." Tenth, "One of your last encounters with me, according to your, ahh, son, here, tells me that something affected it again and you sometimes age and sometimes do not." Ian was growing impatient. He leaned forward and put his hands on his hips, "The real question is Doctor, can you do something about it?" "First I have to know which you prefer, aging normally or not," the Doctor told them. They stared. "Look, you don't have to let me know now, you can take some time and talk it over amongst yourselves, Mr. and Mrs. Chestertone." "Ton." "Chatterton." The Doctor winked at Barbara and they all, save Johnny, laughed. "Are you going to lunch with me or him?" Their son asked. "Well," Ian said, "Why can't we all..." "No, no, no, no, no, no," the Doctor shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't stay." He winked at Johnny without the parents seeing him. "I'm just here to see how you are doing. I'll, ahhh, give you a burst from this," he took out his sonic screwdriver, which made all three of them suspicious. Ian and Barbara protested and backed away, their hands up. Johnny made a move to grab the Doctor's arm but before he could, the Doctor shot an energy burst from the tool as Ian and Barbara backed away. "What have you done now?" Johnny asked and came at the Doctor. The Doctor nodded, "Not much. I'll come back...you've made me realize I can come back. I will and I'll fix this problem." "We know you will," Ian said, "Thanks." "That little burst was the first dose. It will help stabilize you until I appear again and do it for good," the Doctor said, "I do have to make some recalibrations to affect that. In TARDIS." "Yes, we understand," Barbara said. She leaned forward and kissed the Doctor's cheek. Ian shook his hand, "Thanks." "No, thank you, both," the Doctor shook both their hands, "For making me a better person." "Oh, who did that to who?" Ian asked, "I think you made us better..." "We did it to each other," the Doctor smiled. A passing by older teacher turned and looked at the foursome. He shook his head and kept walking. They all laughed. Even Johnny. "I DO have to go now, visiting day almost over. Susan's next." The Doctor retreated. "Where's the TARD..." Barbara started to ask. "Men's room," the Doctor said. He walked away, down a corridor in Cambridge. They walked the same way but slower. The light from the windows made the Doctor seem illuminated, half visible. Rays of light through morning mist shone through and made it seem as if the Doctor vanished at one point. Then he had, ducked into the men's room to one side. "Men's room?!" Ian repeated with Barbara and he and Barbara laughed. "Did you have to be so rude?" After laughing, Barbara asked Johnny. John looked at them, "I just try to protect you. You know what happened last time." "Thank you but unnecessary. We know how to handle the Doctor. Last time? You didn't tell him what happened last time, did you?" Ian asked. "No," John told him. "That would be bad. Very bad," Ian told him. "It might mean us all dying," Barbara said. "I'm sure I didn't tell him anything." They passed the bathroom, the same one the Doctor had. The TARDIS sound echoed through the loo and could be heard in the hallway. John shook his head while Barbara and Ian laughed. The blue Police Box flung itself through the time vortex, time zone holes passing it by and it passing them by. It followed another TARDIS, a white rectangle shape. In the console room, the Doctor gripped the wheel and the materialization lever at the same time, "Oh no, you don't. I know what you've done!" A distinguished old man in a distinguished brown checkered jacket with a bow tie to top off his button downed brown shirt was in the other TARDIS at his controls, calmer than the Doctor. "You again?" "Don't give me that!" The Doctor yelled and the TARDIS console sparked. "And you...behave!" "I don't know why you are after me. I saved the life of you and your elfin granddaughter." "Don't give me that either! You had something in it for you. I can't believe I didn't see it then, but I was rather messed up then." "Then?" The old man laughed, "And now. Look at you, practically having a panic attack." "Over you. The Meddling Monk, the Time Meddler!" "How dare you! I've never called myself that. Why should I? Those are just slanderous insults started by someone who once wore an Edwardian and Victorian couture. Usually out of style in an out of place time and boring old Earth to boot." "Don't give me that, prepare to be boarded!" The floor of the TARDIS slanted. "You can't do that!" "Oh no? Can't I?" The Police Box appeared inside the Monk's TARDIS. "No!" The Monk ran to a machine and pulled a lever, "Sorry, Doctor, abandoning..." The Doctor ran up to him and passed through a force field, "I've had enough of your gravity bubbles or eddies and oh, how I hate those force fields of yours!" He punched the Monk in the jaw. "I'm not gonna let you take him. I'm sorry I had to do it that way but...where is he? I was so sure..." "That I had him?" the Monk rubbed his chin. "I do not!" As the Monk fell, a formerly invisible figure appeared on the floor...laying on his back. "ALEX!" The Doctor leaned over the boy. The boy was his great grandson and Susan's son. He was in a loose fitting vee neck t shirt with short sleeves the color of off white or light blue—it seemed to change color in the changing light of the TARDIS they were in. The young boy, who looked about 14, also wore blue denim pants and blue and white sneakers. "Alex!" The Doctor leaned over him. "You wanted your own Time Lord so you could lord him over me." The Monk laughed, "Not a Time Lord. A half Time Lord. They're so much better at things...how much better that it be related to you!" Sparks started to fly. The monk, still holding his chin, rose up. "But now that you've used your fisticuffs...I will destroy you utterly...an eye for an eye...or a body for a body...I have your great grandson and now I have you...I have no need for one or the other...what's that?" "The sound of great, flapping wings," the Doctor said, stunned. "Oh no..." "I like you," a bird woman of white flew from the vortex into the Monk's TARDIS. It flew at the Doctor, "I really like you. And I like him, too but for different reasons. He tastes good." The creature flew at the Monk. The Monk put his hands up, his rings firing rays at the creature, "Chronovore! Artemis! NO!" As her claws of white dove at the Monk, she opened her jaw, "Yes, I hunger. That boring old Calabi-Yau Space. Taste not good." The Doctor picked Alex up by the shoulders and waist, "Come on. You're not dead just yet." He dragged the boy, feet literally dragging, into his open TARDIS doors. "NOOOOOOO! Doctor, don't leave me!" The Monk yelled. The Doctor had time to look back over Alex's shoulder but raced into the TARDIS and shut the doors. The TARDIS vanished. When it appeared again, the doors opened and Susan rushed in. "What's wrong, Grand..." when she saw the Doctor, a new face, she paused, "Father?" "Yes, it's me, Susan. Thousands of years since you last saw me..." "Thou...I get it but for me, it's only been a few minutes...why?" The Doctor nodded to the bed that came out of the wall of the TARDIS wall. "ALEX!" The Doctor had to run the gantry floor to stop her from rushing to him and he cradled her in his arms, from behind her, "No! You can't touch him!" "WHAT? WHY? LET ME..." "He's regenerating!" "Regenerating?" "I think." "Think?" "Stop repeating me! LOOK!" They moved closer, the Doctor still cradling her. "He must have had more of me and you in him than I thought," the Doctor and Susan both said at the same time. Alex's body writhed and glowed green. His bare stomach could be seen as his shirt rose from the writhing. And something else...his body was expanding. Becoming larger. He was becoming taller. His chest expanded. His biceps bulged even more than they already were. His legs thickened. The Doctor let Susan go and moved closer. Susan hung back to watch her grandfather. "This is the first time you've seen one of your own regenerating, isn't it?" The Doctor didn't take his eyes off Alex, "Yes. You, too, isn't it?" "Yes," she joined him and put her right hand on his left shoulder. "Grandfather..." she said, in awe. The Doctor looked at the boy's hair, it grew even longer than it already was. The stringy brown became a bit more curly and lighter brown. It then changed slowly into a red/brown and then a full on red. The Doctor moved up on the evaporating glow. He looked at the red hair, touched it and looked back at Susan. Alex was moaning lowly and then he seemed to smile and be at peace. The clothes were too small for this new Alex. His stomach was completely visible with a big oval giant navel and an eight pack. The shirt was ripped at the back and the sleeves were far up the broad shoulders. The Doctor peered at him, "He's alive and..." Susan came forward, "Alive but what else?" "He...he's ginger!" the Doctor ran his fingers through the red hair. "Ginger! It's not fair!" He ran to the wall and hit some roundels, "It's not fair! I could do so much more ginger! SO MUCH MORE!" "Grandfather, stop it!" Susan yelled from Alex's bedside. She was touching his sides. Effectively, Alex was now a more muscled, older looking boy. "He looks like that boy from Harry Potter," Susan exclaimed. "Rupert Grint?" The Doctor asked. "I won't let the Monk rob him of a life!" The Doctor went to the boy and laid his hands on him and Alex turned back into Jake McGann. "There. Now, he'll be all right." "I can't believe you just did that? How?" "The chronovore energy that Artemis expounded in the Monk's TARDIS...it came into me and I used that time energy to save one of Alex's lives..." Susan grew angry. "Grandfather, you...you're infuriating and annoying and risky and..." She poked his chest and moved him backward. He retreated, "And?" "And the most amazing man I have ever known!" Susan stopped her poking and put herself into his chest and grasped his jacket and inside shirt. The Doctor looked into Alex's eyes, "Alex, can you hear me?" Groggy, Alex opened and shut his eyes a few more times. "You...really, didn't want ...me...to be ginger?" "Wellll," the Doctor nodded, "I might be this time, too. My time is coming...very soon now. But you...you're bravery taught me something. I need to go to this fate. To this change." "You've done it before, grandfather," Susan said, "Why are you?" He moved to her, "Let's just say maybe I like this form too much, you know? For once I was, I dunno, cool." "You're not," Susan nodded her head. "No?" The Doctor backed away from her toward Alex's bed. "No," Alex nodded, "Not really." "I mean look at me," the Doctor said. "Yeah, I am," Alex sat up. "No, no, no, no, you shouldn't be..." "I want to go," Alex said, "There's people to do and things to see." "What? What do you mean?" "There's this one boy at school..." "Oh," the Doctor said, "Been getting a lot of that today." Alex shook his hand, "Just because I said you weren't cool, doesn't mean I don't think you are." He winked at the Doctor. "You really are all right," The Doctor noticed. "You said it," Alex said, "I really am your great grandson. So when do I get me own TARDIS?? Susan laughed, "Alex, can you wait outside for me? I have somethings I want to say to grandfather, the Doctor." "Sure," Alex said. "And thanks, great grand da." "Is he British or Scottish?" Alex laughed and started to walk out. "I'll never forget you." "I know. I'll be back." "No, no. I mean this you you. I'll not forget which you saved me. This Doctor. This you. Your image will be forever in my mind's eye and in my heart." "I think...I think that's just about the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me," the Doctor stopped looking Alex in the eyes. "I love you, Alex. Don't go leaping in front of Dalek guns. It does a body no good." "Right," Alex said and walked out. "Goodbye. "Bye," the Doctor said hoarsely. Susan asked for his guidance in raising a Time Lord son on Earth. He told her he'd help any way he could but he couldn't now. Susan spoke to him about visiting again and how his ending is not an ending. "I know all that," he said, "And the chronovore gave me some more time to visit one more place." "Where?" "Last stop, church..." "Church?" Susan asked, incredulous. "Yes, my friends at Cheldon Boniface. Ishtar, Emily, Saul, and the rest...Ayfai!" VALE/VALE DECEM When the Doctor arrived at night at the church, it was Christmas Eve. The church was singing to him. He parked outside to the left of the church in snow. He trucked through the snow, which was just about stopping its fall from the cloudy sky. Moon light tried to shine through. The entire area was glowing blue and the Christmas lights stood out against it or mixed in with it...red, blue, green, yellow, traditional Christmas lights adorned the church. When the doors opened, the Doctor saw more of his friends than he expected to. It was almost midnight mass. Everyone turned around and clapped for him. Fey was there, a tall woman with short cropped hair and a leather outfit. "Ms. Truscott Sade?" Shayde was there, too. They melded together. He turned to run out the doors. He fell face first into the snow. Blinding white snow... Snow on the ground. He was with Rose. "2005." "I tell you what," he said as she moved away from him. "You're gonna have a great year." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Well, bye." It never would have worked, Doctor. You're just too gay. The pain. The walk of pain toward the TARDIS. "Doctor, we shall sing you to your sleep. The universe shall sing you to your rest." "I don't want to go." The Shayde/Fey being stood over the Fourth Doctor's body. They pointed their hands together in a prayer mode. Energy shot from the clasped hands at the Doctor's chest and spread energy all around him. "Is that really you, Feyde?" The Doctor was in his _ _ _ _ or his _ _ or his _ _ _ life but as he was degenerating he happened to be back in his Fourth Body. And not as it normally was. He was in his body as an old, old Fourth Doctor. As he was in the Leisure Hive Generator. And now he felt as if his body had had enough. "No one's meant to do this." Fourth Doctor voice in current Doctor, "Maybe I'll come back as an otter. I do so like otters, don't you? Whom am I talking to, ah? Wait a sec, they shoot otters in Suffolk, don't they? Maybe I'll come back as a cockroach. Very long lived, cockroaches are or maybe they're just very stubborn, in which case, not much of a change there, haha." Fey and Shadye were among the singers now. They merged and as they merged, looking like ghosts combining into a more solid whole, he saw his first four incarnations merge out of and then into them and each other, and all merged then with the ancient form he now found himself in. He felt himself changing again. The heat was intense and he thought this was it. And he said that. "This is it." Jesse pulled loose from Jeremy's grip, "I'm going back for the Doctor." Jeremy stood in his way, "I know how you feel but I'm not gonna let you throw your life away. You heard him, you saw him. We saw him. He was on his last legs." "Last?" The Doctor, in his Fourth body, showed up at the doorway, "Last what? I'll have you know I've had many more legs after this. So many that Spiga, that giant spider couldn't cover more ground than the miles of legs I've had in the past...or was that the future." "Doctor!" Jeremy gasped and hugged him, turning. "You...you...you're not old anymore!" Jesse sprang at the Doctor. "What's 8000 years between friends, aye?" The Doctor asked. "You can't get rid of me and this daft ole face that easily, aye?" "Are you stabilized?" "For now but it's far, far from being all over. It's not the end! I distinctly felt something." "Maybe you looked at me," Jesse smiled. "No, it's something prickling at the...it's not over, far, far from over but the moment has not been prepared for..." The Doctor pointed. His eyes were wide. "What now?" Jesse asked. The ceiling caved in and a huge green claw came in, obviously attached to some greater, more giant creature. "A Great Vampire!" The Doctor whispered and managed to be loud about all at the same time and in tones that only this voice box could give, "THE GREAT VAMPIRE!" CRASHING SOUNDS of roof falling down!!!!
