DOCTOR WHO, JESSE, AND JEREMY  interlude or chapter 14
XMAS WINTER  SOLSTICE
"Doctor?"
"Hmmm, my boy?"
"This is a time machine right?"
"You know it is."  The Doctor  said, unapologetic and without insult in
tone.
"Well, I just...it's just..."   Jesse looked at him.
"Our guests are taking in a bath and some food,"  the Doctor smiled, "And I
hope in that  order...or maybe not?"
Jesse faked a laugh, "It's just..."
"What?"
"I have a life."
"I know."
"I mean it's this and that but whatever...I just..."
"What do you want, Jesse?"
"Well, I have to...it's just I want to...I had obligations in the  present..."
Jesse looked, "And  they don't come close to this and you and Jeremy...but..."
"But?"
"I mean there are things I do that matter. Back then, there, ahead,  oh..."
Jesse laughed, this time for  real, "I think this time travel is complicated
especially when you try to talk  about it. I mean in my time, I do some good...don'
t I?"
"Jesse. Just tell me what you want."
It was a HOME FOR HOLIDAYS celebration. Orphans who do not have homes or  are
not yet adopted. They tell their stories on TV. The ones who are adopted,
the ones who are not. Yet. Jesse told the Doctor. On stage. Jesse went out on
stage.
The Doctor watched from the TARDIS doors, watching and  looking back at the
scanner for a better view. Jesse wore one of  his third persona's old green
velvet  jackets. It was big for Jesse but he filled it better than the Doctor
thought he  would. Jesse was a big boy now. He wore a long scarf from the Fourth
Doctor  around his neck, this one more Christmas colored. Madam Nostradamus
knew her  color schemes and knitted many for him. The Doctor smiled. Of all the
people he  knew in time and space and other places, Jesse and Jeremy were it
for him. He  leaned his elbow on the frame of the Tardis door, crossed one foot
over the  other leg. Jesse had a Newsies cap on his head, checked colored and
for some  reason, as the Doctor had set the TARDIS Jesse had dyed his hair
brown. The  Doctor liked the natural blonde but whatever Jesse wanted, the
Doctor would go  along with. It was at this moment that the Doctor knew this would
be permanent.  His eyes were entranced with Jesse and his performance. Jesse
would go home from  time to time, so to speak but the Doctor knew he was in
love with Jesse. Jesse's  eyes sparkled as he brought music to the young girls in
the front of the guitar  shaped stage, "Beautiful Soul" was the choice. Good
choice, the Doctor thought,  for all his bravado, Jesse was a beautiful soul.
It had been easy to park the  TARDIS in the back darkness of the stage, one
blond hottie emerging from the  curtains and the other watching. "After all
this is a time machine and this is  Christmas."   The Doctor patted  the TARDIS
door, "Thank you, old girl. Thank you."
The music continued, Jesse doing his magic on stage, entrapping the  Doctor
in rapture and bliss just to watch and listen. The Doctor wanted to close  his
eyes to just listen and as chills ran through his arms, up them to his
shoulders and chest, he knew he couldn't. He was not able to take his eyes  off
Jesse. He couldn't swallow for  a whole minute. Funny for him, he thought,
especially around Jesse (or Jeremy  for that matter). He smiled as Jesse thrust his
head upward and finished the  song and then bowed, "Thank you all, have a
great night and a great Christmas  and Holiday Season."     Jesse ran for the door
of the TARDIS as others came running to find out  where he had been for a few
days...the time machine had appeared to have only  had  him in its bosom for
three days  or so...when in reality for Jesse it had been longer. Jesse ran right
into the  Doctor. "Thanks!"
"It was supposed to be Christmas."
"It's winter solstice..."
"Yes but..."
"You got the spot spot on..."  Jesse said, "They made it today live..."
"Oh, I guess I did."  The  Doctor threw his head up and looked at the lights
above.
Jesse said, "And I get you spot on."
He kissed the Doctor's mouth deeply and pushed him roughly into the  TARDIS.
A crowd had followed them  but the doors shut tight and the wheezing groaning
sound continued...onward to  take Joey back to 1931....
