Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 19:04:26 EST From: J Subject: DOCTOR WHO, JESSE AND JEREMY 62 DOCTOR WHO, JESSE AND JEREMY 62 I'M COMING OUT SO YOU'D BETTER GET THIS TARDIS STARTED A murky purple haze. Naked figures. "They won't hurt you." The Doctor's voice. "Doctor, I can't feel solid ground beneath my feet any more," Jeremy said, truly frightened. "It's the part of the planet we're on." The Doctor said, "It's soft matter...the molecules are...uhm, different." "I love it!" Jesse gasped. "Love it." "The Sextrions...they're made of the same matter, aren't they?" Jeremy asked. "Why Jeremy, that's very intelligent of you," the Doctor said. "Thank you, Doctor." "Entirely due to my influence, of course," the Doctor noted. "Yeah, cause you're so smart in getting us back to Earth in the year 2007 like you promised," Jesse stated. The Doctor frowned while Jeremy laughed. A purple being, a stalk of a being, with slits for viewing...one wouldn't call them eyes because the slits really had no pupils beneath that they could see. Not that Jeremy or Jesse could see very much. The planet was a giant mist of purple fog with blue trees. Black mountains were passed by them as they floated....the gravity was not like Earth's. "I think now that we're here, it's, uhm, they are, uhm, not to be missed." "You've experienced them before?" "Not really. Just heard of them by reputation..." Jesse felt the stalk and he could swear his right hand was stroking the best set of abs he ever found. "And they only allow nakedness...no clothes?" "Yup." The Doctor smiled as he said this and they knew he smiled but couldn't see him as his body was wrapped in purple mist. Jesse put both hands to the stalks and he heard it purr and moan at the same time. He felt what seemed to be a belly button. "And they use their telepathicness to have sex...." Jeremy pulled away from two stalks, "I don't like it. Doctor, where are you? " "Here!" "Doctor, they're following me! They won't let me go!" "It might mean that you DO like it, kiddo...just go with it." The Doctor said. "NOOO!" The stalks closed in on Jeremy. "Doctor, whadda mean!" Jesse yelled and moved away from is stalk toward Jeremy's voice. He turned to the stalks, "Leave him alone!" He pushed himself in front of Jeremy. The stalk that he moved away from came to the other three. Large penises unfolded from each of the stalk bodies and dripped. "What the hell?" The stalks came to the boys, surrounding them. "Doctor, get us out of here!" "Cumming!" The Doctor was already stuck to a stalk, his own torso inside it. Literally. "I have to go..." The four stalks seemed to push Jeremy and Jesse together, Jeremy's back to Jesse's front. Jeremy turned around so that he and Jesse were back to back. " They mean to rape us!" "Calm down, maybe we can get to them, you know psychically, telepathically that we don't want to do this." "Doctor says they already know we do!" Jesse looked at the two penises that came toward his bare stomach, "Yeah," he smiled, "Maybe we do." The purple penises rose to his navel and entered it. They passed into his skin. Jesse yelled in pain, "NOOOOOOO!" Jeremy wanted to turn but the two penises on his side from the stalk beings, melded right into the tip of his own penis, which was large and engorged. He was as excited as the aliens. "What are they doing?" The Doctor was there in a shot, "That's enough, they don't like....like it?" Jesse moaned as the stalk beings sort of slithered into his body, their fingers growing from their main body. Melding into Jesse's skin. Jesse writhed and shook and threw his head back, almost hitting Jeremy who was doing the same thing. The stalks seemed to enter their bodies and become one with them, while at the same time, making the boys part of their bodies. The Doctor smiled, "Their very atoms are having sex with your very atoms...it's somewhat painful at first or so it seems but it is also quite enjoyable in the end..." Every pore was entered by the stalks. This made a new sensation tingle at every touch. Writhing, the boys experienced multiple orgasms and inside the stalks, their dickheads tingled cum and vibrated inside the beings. Cum filled the stalk beings. Jeremy's ass tightened and his muscles fired in different places at the same time. His nipples grew hard and his ass split liquid. Every part of him twitched and his toes curled. He felt light as air and yet his body in various places felt heavy with sex and then light without it. As though it came and went. Every time it came, he was thrown into a sexual frenzy, his erogenous zones all firing at the same time, jerking him in almost uncontrollable spasms of unbelievable joy and pain. As he was bumped into or made sure he was bumping himself into, Jesse, he grabbed at him, and Jesse grabbed at Jeremy. Each touch tingled with extra excitement and cum like liquid. Skin rubbed on skin, nipples on nipples, all touching with the added stalk fluidity. Jesse felt the same things. Sharing it with him in mind and body as the stalks entered him and Jeremy, stringing them together, the tentacles overflowing with the boys' man juice, dripping white and yellow. Jesse felt his navel intruded and it felt like being stabbed with a sword and his penis erupted out and in. He never felt anything like it at all. It seemed as though his own penis were impaling him and he was fucking himself! At the same as fucking others. His body shook and sweated and cam. His arms pulsated with strength and sex. His leg muscles fired and relaxed. His chest amplified and shrank. Over and over. Their balls seemed to grow to impossibly huge proportions. Then a release and shrinkage but only for a second. Then the feeling that the balls refilled so quickly and so dramatically that a new firing was in the making. Cum unloaded but the stalks sucked the cum in. As their hairless balls did this, their dicks fired and in succession their penises lowered and rose, grew and shrank, the sex of it was amazing, the oppositeness of hard and limp, over and over, firing and emptiness, then filling up and being filled up. Solid atoms inside them, then wisps of mist curling their insides and exterior bodies, just gently brushing their skin, tantalizing, caressing by merely touching the smallest peach fuzz on their arms, their legs, their bellies...then reveling in a hard, manly grip! Jesse felt as though someone were giving the ultimate hand job, jerking, pulling, nearly ripping his dick off...THEN a soft, caress...a gentle touch, a bare fingertip just barely stroking his hand, his dick, his belly, his dick, his hips, his chin, his dick! DICK! "My end!" Jeremy yelled as the stalks grow tentacles that came out and whipped all the way around Jeremy and sort of suckered into his asshole, widening it without hurting him...much. Jeremy flung his upper body back down and then back again and he rubbed against Jesse's side, making the tingling in both their bodies increase. This went on for some time. Then stalk parts entered Jeremy and Jesse from penis slit, belly button, and asshole and kept moving in and out, in and out. Their bodies were wracked with this jerking and they were driven back and forth, back and forth, almost violently. Swung up and down but held by other parts of the stalks, firmly. Dripping, oozing. When the stalks parted, a loud sucking sound as they disengaged from the boys, Jesse and Jeremy simultaneously has the ripping-est orgasm they had ever had and their penises erupted with boatloads of cum. It was so much that they thought their slits were being ripped apart in a bloody style...but the penises were fine. The atoms were shifting around to make them feel the greatest pain-pleasure shooting of cum they ever had. Long lines of thick, almost weedy and sandy cum shot from both boys' penis slits, covering the stalks. The cum there vanished into the aliens as they took it into themselves and moaned loudly. The moans sent up a soft wind and the flying creatures above soared higher and higher. These flying beings were white and bird-bat like. In turn, they went and deposited their saliva onto smaller plants buried in some spongy growth. Jesse and Jeremy had multiple orgasms and they hit each other's bodies, shoulder to shoulder and this made them shoot some more. They turned to each other, hugged each other and shot between each other, long piles of manly cum splashing up their stomachs, chest and necks, slathering and soaping over their shoulders and up their chins. A few cum shots even got in their hair and threatened to blind them as eyes were hit. The stalks came over and covered the boys in tentacles, which sucked the cum completely off them. Jeremy huffed down to a quietness when it was all over. Jesse gasped, "MORE!" "I think the Sextrions need some time to recover from the likes of you two," The Doctor put his arms around the two teenagers. "Come along, let's go back to the TARDIS." "And maybe, just maybe you can get me to my rendezvous?" Jeremy looked at him. "Why?" Jesse shrugged. "Why bother. With Earth. I mean saving it is one thing. But why bother worrying about that terrible reality back home. I mean I don't know why I bother. Family dinners, holidays, even the trips there suck now. Gigs. Dances. Movies, TV shows, and even my albums. I don't..." "Don't say that stuff," Jeremy said, "I know you don't mean it. It's... .it's just the euphoria off the Sextrions...you love your family and your career..." "Well, yeah I do." Jesse said, "I just don't like the mundane stuff. The day to day doldrums of it all." "I don't either but sometimes, taking out the garbage, kissing my pet dog, singing a song even, making a movie," Jeremy said, "That stuff reminds me that I'm human." The Doctor was walking with them, his arms around them. "We're back..." "What?" Jeremy asked, "Where is it?" The mist parted and the TARDIS stood in front of them. The Doctor opened it. "I think that you are both right. You can both feel all those things at different times, sometimes at the same time..." He put his hand forth and they both took it. His other hand ushered into the TARDIS, "Shall we go?" Soon enough the TARDIS was blasting off vertically and it had to this before vanishing. The Doctor told them it had to do with the planet's composition. Some time later inside THE TARDIS.... "Holy crap! What is that?" Jesse said as he walked into the Observation Room, eating a turkey sandwich. Above him, the entire dome was open to the view of outer space, technological marvel of a strange alien see through series of plates not unlike plastic and glass, only cleaner and clearer. Beyond them, in space a giant red circle formed. The center was yellow and another giant red circle formed as well. It expanded into a brilliant light show. Jesse gasped, his mouth hung open. "Your...ahh...your turkey is about to fall out..." "Doctor, what is that?" Jesse repeated, unable to take his eyes off the spectacle. There were now two red circles orbiting a giant red blotch, which held the yellow center around which was another red blob, itself outlined by a yellow circle! Around the red outlines were two giant white stars, all moving and all unmoving at the same time. Space seemed to unfold before Jesse's eyes. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap950621.html "That, my dear boy, is the aftermath of a giant star in a Milky Way galaxy exploding!" "What?" Jesse asked, "What caused it?" The Doctor tilted his head sideways, "You know I've always meant to go and have a look. I'm not...I'm not quite sure." Jesse sighed and ohheed and ahhed as the lights continued, "When did it explode?" "1987." "Is that the time we're in?" "I'm passing a few times at once en route to Jeremy's rendezvous with today... his today, your today, 2007...Christmas time yeah," the Doctor nodded, "But this was, a, oh, 1994, scene seen by your Earth's Hubble..." The Doctor put an arm around Jesse's back and shoulder, "You like it, yeah?" "I love it, yeah!" Jesse gasped, biting more of his sandwich, finishing it off and looking up. "Amazing." "No one knows how the rings formed either," the Doctor said, "Not your people or mine...when they were alive..." "Is that why you always meant to go and have a look?" "Oh, what? Oh, no. I just am naturally curious..." the Doctor said and turned as he felt another presence enter the room. "Ahh, there you are, Jeremy... and looking mighty spiffy at that..." "There you two are," Jeremy said, dressed in a long jacket, tanned color jacket. "That light system is working just fine now. How do I look?" "As I said mighty spiffy..." Jesse nodded his head and looked up at the light show. It formed a giant kaleidoscope of colors now. "And looking most unlike my murderous character Alex Meeks...." Jeremy put his head down. The Doctor picked up Jeremy's head and kissed his chin, "We've been all through that stuff. It wasn't your fault. If anything I should have known I had not one not one not one but TWO, count em--- two ---cursed movie props on board my TARDIS ! Imagine! It was really my fault..." "Too right," Jesse swallowed the last of his sandwich. The light shows ended and another image took over, a giant blue series of stars fire working in the sky of outer space. "What the...ohhhhh, lookatthat!" http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap950704.html "The Fireworks Nebula. Another exploding, well stellar something or other. Nebula. A very compact star called a white dwarf blasted away gas that accumulated on the surface..." K9 floated in, "Master..." "Not now, K9..." the Doctor waved. "And... an expanding shell of gas is all that will soon remain to be seen..." "Master..." "Oh, K9!" The Doctor gasped, "This is still so unknown and the subject of much discussion on Earth and other planets...I should check that, too. It would require us going back to oh, what year, K9?" "1901," K9 said. "1901," Jeremy said. "1901!" Jesse said, "Let's go..." He looked at Jeremy's crestfallen face, "I mean, 1901? Doctor! We're supposed to be on the way to 2007. We were at 1987 and 1994 just a few seconds ago and now..." "Are you sure, K9?" "Yes, Master..." The Doctor ran out, "Console room!" "Oh. My. God." Jeremy said. They heard the Doctor yell, "Pronto..." K9 followed the Doctor out of the room, flying. Jesse put an arm around Jesse and drew him to his shoulder and then faced him and hugged him, "Listen. He'll get you there." "Things have never taken this long before..." "Oh no? Remember trying to reach Luke Ward and save him from being a tree? Poor guy had to wait..." "To him it was just a few minutes I think..." "He'll do it, let's go," Jesse kissed Jeremy's mouth, then a mischievous glaze came over his eyes, and he looked at Jeremy, smirked and said, "Axe Killer...." He broke away and laughed. "Stop teasing me about it!" Jeremy said, waving a hand to slap Jesse's shoulder and missing on purpose. "I loved it," Jesse smiled as he entered the corridor. They left the exploding stars...which lit up the observation room. Jeremy told him, "But I almost...killed..." "Oh," Jesse shrugged, "Forget about it...a new day, a new trip, a new adventure...this time one on Earth..." "IF we get there." Jeremy dallied as he walked, sluggishly, disappointed. K9 returned to them, floating, "Christmas time, December 27th 2007...arrived ..." "Wow," Jeremy gasped and perked up. He ran ahead, came back, and pulled Jesse's arm, "Well c'mon!" Now it was Jesse who was downcast. What would telling Anna mean? Telling her that Jeremy is gay? Mean for him, the Doctor and Jeremy? He didn't have time to think on this as Jeremy pulled him, practically off his feet, toward the console room, actually getting ahead of the directional lights that lead them the correct way toward it. In the same store, Jeremy looked at the glass loin he will buy...no, he shook his head, he did buy for Anna in the future. Time travel still gave him a headache if he thought about it too much. He longed for the time he just sat back and enjoyed it. Being in the past, the present and the future, sometimes all in one day. Or rather the span of 24 hours. Earth. He shook his head. It was so complicated sometimes. He swallowed. He suspected the loin would sit there for years, waiting for him to pick it up just as he had done a few days ago and would many, many years from now. He smiled and his reflected smile shot back at him via the lion. He turned to go outside. The street signs were different but the buildings didn't look that much different from the other trip... which would take them into the future... a bit more worn. And just like the future he was in, there was snow on the ground. A mere sprinkling. And for December in New York City, it was warm outside. He opened his jacket and walked toward the theatre. He felt good. He had bought a new gift for her. A large rose made of glass. He hoped he wouldn't break it before she opened it. He went to the theatre and there was Anna standing there. This time he saw her face clearly. "He finally did it. He got me here." He noticed it was his Anna. The Anna of December 2007. "Hey, I thought you'd never make it," she turned to see him. He moved to her and hugged her. "Cor, it's freezing, mind we just..." He stood there, blankly, hugging her. "Oh my, that's quite a greeting." She began to wonder, "Are you all right, Jeremy?" Jeremy smiled and broke the hug, "Oh, me, I''m fine." He handed her the gift and awkwardly, kissed her. She kissed him back. "For me? Birthday?" "Sure, what else?" He laughed. "Open it in the restaurant." This time they picked a high class restaurant. They usually changed it up, one year the health challenged food of McDonalds sufficed, the next, a ritzy expensive place. They always enjoyed more privacy in the more expensive places. One year they even saw Madonna dining and Anna had enough balls, more than Jeremy, to approach her. They both found her to be very welcoming and fun and friendly, however, both couldn't help but wonder if the caught her on a great day instead of a cranky one. She had been with some very hot guy who was younger than she was but older than Jeremy and who had some trimmed stubble. While looking through the menu, Jeremy wondered how he would bring this up. One couldn't just say, "Welp, I'm ready to order, gaily" or "Are you ready to order and I'm gay." He shut his menu and put it down. Anna already did that, for she was ready far before he was. The very hot waiter with tied back hair came to take their orders. Jeremy stared deeply into his eyes. He hoped Anna would notice him doing this as a precursor to telling her that he was gay. The waiter seemed to return Jeremy's favor. Jeremy's eyes focused on the waiter's hot lips, which were being licked by a hot and long tongue. He had to snap himself out of it in order to order. "Jeremy, will you please order already?" Okay, maybe not snap himself out of it. Anna did that. The waiter took the menus from Jeremy's hand. He made sure he touched Jeremy's hand with his fingers as he did. "Back in a jiffy..." "I have a friend that always says that..." "I bet you do," the waiter smiled and left. Dead silence. Awkward silence. Anna took a sip from her large glass of water. "So, I hear that Sasquash Dumpling Gang is going to finally be released on dvd." "Yeah," Jeremy said, "It's a great movie and not cause, hey," he shrugged, "I'm in it but because it's just good. Seems like I made that movie so long ago..." "Well, it's about time..." "You have no idea..." "What?" "Nothing. It deserves to be on dvd. Everyone worked so hard on it. I mean there's nothing wrong with showing it at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan but...I want the world to be able to see it." "Still Jeremy, composed about one's self..." She laughed. She noticed his sadness just then, "Hey, I was only kidding." "Hey," he looked at the seat where he had put his winter coat and her gift. "Open it." He handed it across the table to her. She opened it. "Oh it's lovely," she said, "A glass wolf...how beautiful. I love wolves..." "I know you love lions more and I saw this lion one, too..." "Oh, this is lovely anyway," she said. "The lion one can wait..." "I know. I got it for you in the future..." "What? What's that supposed to mean?" "I meant...uh, oh, I'll get it for you in the future. It'll still be there..." More silence. Jeremy wanted to blurt out to Anna that he was gay. Instead, he waited until the very hot, hair tied back waiter brought their food. Jeremy kept purposely staring at him. He thought Anna didn't notice but she did. She just wasn't sure why he was staring at the waiter. "Gosh, he's built," Jeremy told her. Anna ate and looked at him, "Are you? Are you trying to tell me something?" Jeremy wanted to say, "Like I'm time traveling through outer space and inner time or inner space and outer time with a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who had two hearts, a super respiratory bypass system, oh, and Jesse McCartney, hot super singer from NYC and California and I'm in complete love with both them, like that? Naw, that's not what I want to tell you...and about the TARDIS..." He didn't realize he zoned out. And his mind was in other worlds, other times, other places. Zantrex, Castor, Mars, Kastria. He shook his head. "Jeremy? Really, you're worrying me now..." "Oh, no, don't be worried, Anna, dear." Jeremy smiled, "You look great, by the way..." "Oh thanks but don't change the subject," she shot back. "What the hell is wrong?" "Oh, curses," Jeremy chided, "Aren't you above that sorta thing?" "Shut up," she threw a bit of her turkey at him. "Anna, I'm gay." Anna was completely thrown by this. She didn't say anything for an awkward 35 seconds. He stared at her. "Anna, did you hear me?" He winced and moved his head closer to her's across the table, for effect. "Yes, yeah, yes," Anna blinked. She looked out the glass window that lined the left side of the large area they were seated at. "Yes, I did. I guess I always..." "Are you not okay with it?" "Oh, honey," she put her hand on his and motioned with her other hand for his. He gave it to her, "oh dear Jeremy, I'm very okay with it. It...it's just I always thought that someday you and I would..." "I know. I thought the same thing," he avoided eye contact with her at this point. He looked at the table cloth and down at his own lap at varying times, "I guess it just sorta dawned on me. I mean I tried for years to really like girls, you know?" "Yes," Anna nodded, "And you're sure...?" "Uh huh," Jeremy nodded. She held his hand harder, "Good for you. Some people are never sure, even as late as, even in their forties." "They probably just don't want to be," he surmised. "Really? I guess cause it's just too difficult a life," Anna said, "Do you find it that way?" Jeremy tried to look solemn but a smile broke his reserve, "No, no. No, I don 't. I'm having a grand old time." Anna blushed and smiled, too. "Sex?" Jeremy looked from side to side, "Well, yeah, finally and it seems lately that I even know what I'm doing..." He laughed and Anna didn't. Then when he dropped his laugh, she laughed at him. "I'm so glad. I'm guessing...there is," her voice sounded excited for him. "There's someone else, isn't there?" "I..." Anna laughed, "There is!" She gripped his hands harder, "Jeremy, you have to tell me all about him? Do your parents know? Have they met him?" "No, you're the first person I've told. It...it's complicated. There's a whole lot more." He took his hands back. "I feel so much better now that I've told someone..." "Are you telling me I'm the first person you've told?" "I...yes," Jeremy said, "The first person from my own time zone I've told, that knows, I mean." "Time zone?" Anna said, "But hon, you and I live in two different time zones..." "More than just two for me," Jeremy murmured. "I'm not sure I understand." "Me either." Jeremy stated, "Anna, that might be enough for today..." "Tell me everything, Sir Jeremy," she teased. He had teased her often enough, about her mother having been a churchwarden of Saint Bride's church of London and her grandfather used to be a High Court judge, being called Sir. She sometimes called Jeremy that because he acted like royalty around his parents, who doted on him. They didn't much any more but they used to. "It might be overload and some of it..." "I don't care, I promise not to get..." "Some of it," he repeated, "you might not believe me about..." That shut her up. She wondered when she ever doubted a word he said. Only when he was teasing her. Which he used to do often. "You seem so serious today ..." "Well, there're a lot of issues...more than a magazine factory..." he joked. "Okay, cor blimey, now you're scaring me..." "You know cor blimey used to be considered a real curse..." "Tell me what's up..." "Okay, I'll start from when I met the Doctor..." "Doctor? You're not sick are you?" "Sick in love...." "Your boyfriend's a Doctor? How old is he?" "If you keep interrupting me, we're never gonna get this done...I'll be here forever..." Anna smiled, "Then I should keep interrupting. I don't ever want you to leave me..." "Anna..." Anna had her turn to look down now. "I know, I know, I'm just kidding. I meant as a friend. I really enjoy our time together and even though we just saw each other..." "We did?" "Yeah, remember, over the summer and then again at Halloween?" "Oh yeah, right." Jeremy had forgotten. To his almost ageless self---as he traveled in TARDIS, that seemed ages ago, in fact, he probably lived out five years in that time, traveling, while aging less than a month...or so." Even a few days ago in his own time seemed such a long time ago. He said so. " Oh that seems such a long, long time ago. I'll tell you why..." When he was done, and the waiter was looking to bring the check and heard snatches of this, Jeremy looked at Anna. "Anna? Anna, are you all right?" "Huh?" She blinked, "Oh yes. It...it's a lot to take in. And you can't tell me the name of the other two?" "Well, the Doctor's just the Doctor. I think there's a few web sites you can find out more about him on. But J...the other guy, I promised he would not be outted..." "I won't tell anyone about you or him," she said, "But I do think you should tell." "Who?" "Your parents. You...I think you should tell everyone." "What? Really? When?" "No time like the present." "Well, that's not exactly true, there are. But..." Now it was his turn to be bemused. He tilted his head, "I never thought about that. I mean this was a big step. You want me to tell...what? The world?" "Why not? Last year, November, I think, that guy from Doogie Hauser..." "Neil Patrick Harris?" "...yeah, that's the one, that's him, and he's on that new show How I Met Your Mother I think it's called, he came out. That other bloke, Richard Chamberlain, came out. It's not as bad as it used to be." "I know. Then I go and read some old article or interview with Sylvester Stallone and he told this other actor from RIPTIDE...Perry King..." "Wow, you do time travel, don't you? Those are old references..." "And old actors." He laughed. "He told him not to...never to play a gay character." Anna laughed, "Sly Stallone? What do you expect from a man that made Stop or My Momma Will Shoot?" "He..." Jeremy stopped to laugh at that, "He's Rocky and...and Rambo..." Anna looked and pulled a face. Jeremy shrugged, "Rambo...I mean Rambo...Rocky...met the real Rambo once..." "Wait. There's a real Rambo?" "Mmmm, muhm, from another universe. A parallel universe." "Wait. I thought travel between parallel universes was impossible." Jeremy shrugged, and looked concerned, "I don't know who's been passing out that information but it's completely erroneous." "I heard it someplace..." Anna shook her head. "He saved my neck and the neck of the Doctor and Jes...the other one. Plus he' s hot." Anna smiled and almost laughed. It was odd to her hearing Jeremy say things like that. "Point is that that was then. He...he was probably right for that time. If you...I mean you ARE a time traveler, you must know that. Times don' t stay the same. I mean look at the world, forget the world, New York City, will it be like this in 200 years time?" Jeremy smiled, and gave a short laugh, "Uh, no...it'll be worse..." "Worse?" "At least for awhile...then, things settle down before the end." "The end?" "Of Earth..." Anna blinked, "oh." More quiet. Anna stared out the window. "I think you should call Mark and set it all up." "What today?" "Well, there's no time like...you get the idea. I mean why not? People are feeling good mostly. Holidays and all that. And as for your fans, if you, as you say, don't care if your career is destroyed by this..." "I don't...I really don't." Jeremy said, "I'll probably be living with the Doctor in the TARDIS for the rest of my life anyway...not much need for a career there...still, I would like to keep doing what I do..." "Aside from saving the Earth, the universe, oh, and any other parallel universes to boot..." "And just surviving some of the weirdest things and places I've ever seen..." "I think you should do it. And in the next day or so." "That soon?" "We know other actors that will stand behind you. Danny Glover, Jason Isaacs, the guys in Frailty, William Mosley..." "Christ, he's hot..." Anna laughed and put her head down. "I am so sorry about the Lord's name thing...I met him, too, you know..." "You...met...Him?" "Yeah," Jeremy smiled, "He's fantastic...such love...Jesus I'm talking about ..." "I know who you're talking about...I...I don't know what to say..." "He loves me too, even though I'm gay..." "Then....then, I think....I think you should do it....do it, before...before..." "I chicken out?" "I didn't say that and I don't think you will. You are NO chicken..." "Chicken hawk maybe. I'll call Mark now," Jeremy took out his cell phone, "Hope this works on down home Earth..." It rang. Jeremy talked to his agent Mark Roberts. He didn't like to tell him this over the phone but he had to get Mark to understand how important it was that he meet him face to face about this. When that was over, Jeremy looked, "I've got to find my parents and tell them...gosh, what the hell are they going to think?" "I'll be there with you if you like." "That'd be good," he said, "They just love you. Probably..." he shrugged, "...looking forward to you being their daughter in law." "So what," Anna said, "They'll adjust. If you're happy and I must say when you talk about this Doctor and the other one, your two lovers, you are ... glowing. You are happy." "They make me happy," he said, "I've never been one to be down anyway...but... this life I have I just love it. All of it. But the missing bits...keeping everyone in my present day life unaware..." "You don't have to tell anyone---it's none of their business anyway and if you don't want to, you don't have to." "I know. I thought about all that." The waiter came with the check and put his hand on the shoulder of Jeremy. He stared at him, serious. Jeremy nodded and the waiter nodded back, giving his approval. The waiter left. "Damn." Anna smiled, "So what now?" "I already told Mark. I'm going to tell my parents. You know it's funny. Hets...heteros...dn't have to go around telling everyone that they like to fu... like to have se...like to have relations with the opposite sex. But homos like me ..." "Don't say it that way..." "Like me...have to. I feel at this point, I have to. My parents when I'm home, ask about girls, ask if I'm happy and I tell them I am happy. I won't lie to them and I won't lie to my fans any more. I haven't really lied but I guess in a way I have by just avoiding the issue....I mean I have had girl friends... but...that's just it, they are girl friends. Friends who are girls...like you." Anna laughed, "Then I say do it. It will change things for awhile..." "Some for better and some for worse for a time," Jeremy said, "From my mid West background, I'm not sure which of my family will like it or not." He smiled and stood up and stretched, "God, I love Christmas. How was this one?" "You didn't experience it?" "Not yet. I'm, like maybe, a few weeks into my future..." "Then go back, with this Doctor and tell them then..." "At Christmas Time?" "Yeah, what better gift for them than the truth..." "Oh...kay...and then we'll be back here. I just long for a sole day of golf..." Jeremy told the Doctor and Jesse his plan. The Doctor took Jeremy to his family's home in California. "Don't go disappearing on us," Jesse warned. "Have I ever?" The Doctor asked. "No," Jeremy answered. "That we know of," Jesse quipped. "Well, sometimes I get...no, I'll wait. I can do a bit of easy, lite reading..." The Doctor moved out of the control room, "I've got over 88 thousand books in my library..." "A bit of lite reading to him is like War And Peace," Jeremy laughed. "Or that other thing, the Infinite Reasons That Life Existing Between Sub Atomic Particles Is Impossible and Why It's Not...that he's always going on about ..." Jesse said, "Life in atoms and molecules..." Jeremy kissed his lover's lips, "See you soon, have a great Christmas..." "I'd like it better if we shared it..." Jesse said. Jeremy nodded, "We can do it over if you want, after all this..." he turned to go out to his family's home . Jesse grabbed his arm, "Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, are...wait a sec. Are you sure about all this?" "Yeah," he said, "It's not the easy road but yeah, I'm sure." "Okay," Jesse nodded, "I'm behind you one hundred percent." "Yeah," Jeremy said, "I like it when you're behind me with your one hundred percent...but don't forget I'm a bottom and a top..." "Go on, before I beat your ears," Jesse smiled and gave him a shot in the arm. Jeremy laughed and kissed him again and started to go out. Christmas with the family went well. Jeremy was brought back there by the Doctor. The Doctor stayed in the TARDIS, Jesse spent Christmas with his family... and a girl...that he broke up with. "I don't understand," the girl told him. "I'm just busy," Jesse said, "It's not really fair to you to keep you hanging like this." "Was it the sex?" "We didn't have any." "That's what I mean." "No, no. I'm sure it would have been...great...really great," Jesse put an arm around her in his California apartment, a crackling fireplace nearby. " Really." "What a time to break up with someone," the girl stood up. She went to get her jacket. "You don't have to go." "No, no. I really do. I have to. No point in staying..." "But it's so late..." "It's okay, Jesse," the girl said and found her jacket and put it on. She straightened up her collar. "Really okay." Jesse moved to stand up. "I'll walk you to the taxi.." "No, that's okay," She smiled. He hesitated to get up but then did. He went to the door with her. She looked at his face and smiled. "You have one beautiful face, Jesse McCartney. I'm so sorry it went this way, that you feel this way..." she looked at his bemused face and put her lips to them. She kissed him gently. Jesse shut his eyes. He loved this girl. But he felt like he was kissing a dead fish. He shivered horribly. The girl let go of the kiss and looked at him again as he opened his eyes. "Goodbye...I'm sorry..." "There is someone else," the girl said, "I can just feel it. And..." she started to say as he started to protest... "I'm allright with that. You're pop rock star. Why shouldn't you have all the perks that go along with that while you're young. And really, really, really pretty..." "Stop. You're going to make my head explode," Jesse smiled. "You mean it hasn't already?" She laughed. Jesse dropped his smile and then laughed along with her. "I just hope they can make you as happy..." "He...they...she...can..." The girl looked at him. "That wasn't just a pronoun problem was it?" "I'm stuttering. An accident..." he gasped. "I'm still in love with you, Jesse..." "I know." "Goodbye." "Yeah," he said as she left. He closed the door and puffed his lips out, unaware the Fourth Doctor had done the same thing when Sarah Jane Smith left him. Jesse looked at the crackling fire. He stared. Tears came down his eyes. He was beginning to like being off on far flung outer space adventures with the Doctor and Jeremy over being back home on Earth in his own time. He even preferred some of the more horrid past times, the further back the better... " Future? Future here? Jeremy, I wonder who you're coming out is coming...and I miss you." He wanted to call him on his cell phone but this time it could be risky. He might give away something to someone else, Jeremy's family, brother and two sisters... Jeremy had a hard time. His mother and father accepted it but didn't like it. His sisters were both fine with it. His brother was uneasy but if it made Jeremy happy, it made the brother happy. The older brother, Travis, even asked Jeremy if he had the hots for him, which Jeremy told him he decidedly had not. Jeremy grand parents were totally okay with it. It was just like he was the same Jeremy he always was to them. His mother hugged him that night before bed and his father came to his room and told him, "You're my son and no matter what, I love you. I will always love you. I don't care if you are gay." "Thanks, dad," Jeremy said. His parents had gotten back together and he wondered how long it would last. It was the first time they had parted for such a long time after the divorce. Now they were together and it seemed that they would be for a long time. After experiencing Christmas of 2007, the boys returned to the Doctor, or rather he picked them up and nipped them back to December 27th. Once again, Jesse asked Jeremy if he was sure about this. Jeremy told him he was. Jesse was annoyed that Jeremy wasn't pressuring him to do the same. "Why aren't you?" he asked him. "I thought it would annoy you. Seems that no matter which, I'll annoy you with this somehow." "It's not that, boy." Jesse pulled Jeremy to him and hugged him closer to his body. "I know what you're doing is right. I guess deep down I should tell everyone, too. I mean, my career means nothing to me if it's always gonna based on hiding some of this...and you and the Doctor..." "Where is he?" "Reading. Something about Hitchhiker's and the Galaxy..." "Oh, that thing," Jeremy nodded. "I loved that..." "Okay, listen, buddy," Jeremy kissed his chin. "I love you but I gotta do this. For me. And maybe for all gay guys, even you...I know, I know you're not gay..." Jesse snickered. "Of...of course I am. I am. Took you to make me see it...and accept it..." "Have you?" "Yeah." Jeremy said, "I'm with you." "Yeah," Jesse said, "And I'm with you...out there, in spirit. I wish I could be in person..." "Don't sweat it. When and if you're ready, that's fine. If you never do, I don't care--I don't want to make you feel this has to be your route. I want you to be happy, too." "I know. Good luck." Before he left, Jeremy turned to him, "You know it's almost like these dates and times aren't really just times any more, almost like they're places." "Yeah," Jesse nodded, "It's strange. I'm gonna be watching the news thing on the scanner..." Jeremy nodded his thanks. He walked out. The Doctor came in carrying K9. Jeremy met Mark Roberts and they planned a strategy for the press conference. It was going to be a small affair. It would be in Hollywood and Vine, at the famed intersection where the Walk of Fame is. Jeremy wanted it there because the area had many homeless people hanging about and it would bring them some bit of help. It was windy but sunny day there. Jeremy explained, "I didn't want to...I didn 't know what to do until some people made me realize my full potential." "What people made you realize this?" "That's not important. What is, is that I can remain truthful and honest to myself and to my fans. I hope they will stick with me because of my work and my acting and soon, my directing..." The crowd was definitely made up of fans but also news and media people. A few fans called out positive things. "We love you, Jeremy." "You go, Jeremy!" "Jeremy, we love you no matter what." Jeremy smiled, "Thanks." Mark was behind Jeremy. "We will have some questions." A fat man raised his hand, "My daughter likes you...I don't care if you're gay, I don't mind you fuck, just as long as you don't bleed on me." "Dad!" The girl with him, a young girl, about 16, yelled at him, "I love you, Jeremy, sorry about that." Jeremy nodded, "As we can see, there will be some prejudice..." On the TARDIS scanner, Jeremy and the press conference were being watched by Jesse. The Doctor was fixing K9, who was on his back on a white table. Jesse gasped, "I can't watch him..." "Then don't. Do what I am. Find something useful to do...work on or read..." "...I have to find out..." Jesse turned and ran into the back rooms. He wandered through some white rooms. He found the big rounded machine called the Time Space Visualizer. He turned it on. He looked through some numbers on the dials and the read outs. He thought about something. The girl he was with on Christmas appeared. She was with her husband and her children. "2019..." He watched as the children, three of them, two girls and a boy, opened Christmas gifts. The girl hugged her husband. "Well, someone aught to have a normal life ..." He smiled, "I'm glad." He had tears in his eyes. Outside, a newsman, not a young one, unrolled a large poster. On it was an enlarged photograph. It was from someone's portable camera and not an inexpensive one. The color print was a good and clear image. "Is this the guy you're in love with?" The Doctor picked his head up from repairing K9. He looked at the scanner and his eyes went wide. "Jesse! You'd better get back in here, now!" On the scanner the image of the enlarged photograph was seen. It was Jesse and Jeremy, sitting side by side on a roller coaster. The smarmy newsman smiled, adjusted his glasses with one hand and held the poster up with the other. " Remember this? It was taken in the summer of 2006...Great Adventure in New Jersey...some kind of costume party...he's sitting awfully close to you...isn't that ..." Jesse was out of the time space visualizer room and staring in horror at the screen. He turned to run outside, "I've got to get out there...to him..." He ran into the Doctor... who blocked his path. "Doctor..." The Doctor gripped his lover. "He can't lie and he won't give me up...but..." The Doctor stared at him, "He can handle it..." Jesse looked into his eyes, "Get outta my way...I've got to get out there and now..." The Doctor was so close to Jesse and he held his arms tightly and put his head on Jesse's chest, "I can't..." "Doctor, what are you doing? Let me go!" Jesse yelled. "Have you lost your mind...take me to him or get outta of my way!" "I can't...I have to...tell...allright, allright," the Doctor picked his head up. "I'll take you to that building that's behind him..." "What's wrong with you? We have to help him and then we'll be on our way..." Jesse said as the Doctor quietly lured the TARDIS there using the console... Outside, Jeremy stared at the poster. It showed him and Jesse sitting on the roller coaster with a strange menagerie of monsters, aliens, far out villains and heroes, and ...the Doctor...all on the roller coaster. Mark began to close the press conference. Jeremy didn't know what to say but just stood there. He thought he had heard the TARDIS coming to his rescue but shook it off. "I don't think that's a good idea..." he told Mark. "I'll tell you. He and I are good friends..." Mark looked ahead, "We have lunch and dinner for anyone who would like to eat. "Right there," he pointed, "...at Hollywood and Vine restaurant just down the block..." "Is he your lover?" Someone shouted. Jeremy began to feel the questions as they became more and more personal and private. He wished his family had chosen to come. He sighed when he saw them among the crowd, pushing their way through. Then he wondered if he wanted them here, hearing the sort of questions that began among the crowd ... "Did he give you a blow job on the coaster?" An older man, a news reporter. Mark took the mike stand, "Hey, those are the kind of questions that are uncalled for and if those continue, I shall cancel the press conference right now ..." "But what's he hiding...?" A guy. Jeremy took the mike, "I would have to say that I'm here to tell you about me. I'm not here to tell you about other people and just because at that costume party, some people were with me, doesn't mean they are or aren't gay also ..." "But is he?" Someone asked. A girl. "C'mon we just wanna know if Jesse McCartney is gay, too." "Is he in love with you?" Behind Jeremy and Mark and a few large bodyguards, the building stood. It was dark and closed this early in the day. The TARDIS had appeared. Jesse stepped out quietly. The Doctor watched, just as quietly, from the console, leaving the door open. Jesse looked outside, peering from the darkness of the building lobby. He wondered just what kind of building it was he was inside. He could hear the press conference and Jeremy stuttering. "He would protect me," Jesse murmured and smiled. He reached for the closed glass door's handle. He then realized it was the Pantages Theatre. He was passing the ticket booths. He didn't care but he held a look of love on his face and as he opened the door to get outside, he didn't realize the Doctor had been slowly and methodically following him. "Yes," Jesse came forward to take Jeremy's hand, "He is." Jesse took the mike, standing right next to Jeremy and he put one arm around Jeremy and the other hand he used to hold the mike, "...and he is." Jeremy was shocked. He turned to see Jesse. Jesse kissed him on the cheek and turned to the crowd, "I want to make it official, too. I love my singing career and all that, but I have to say, I'm totally gay." The crowd grew less restless but there was chatter among them and a slight uproar. Jeremy was staring at Jesse who turned to look at him and shrug. Jeremy had tears in his eyes. Mark put a hand on Jeremy's shoulder. Between the hands that hung as one, the hands of his lovers, zoom in on the Doctor's face. It registered pride in his companions, then happiness and glee, but ultimately sadness. He knew they had arrived. They had made it. They had conquered their fears and come out. They no longer needed him. Or so he thought. He grew melancholy and his head hung down. He turned his back on them and began to walk back toward the alcove of doorways that lined the front of the theatre. The hands vanished as Jesse raised them, Jeremy startled that Jesse was raising them. Jeremy helped him by putting more energy into it. The hands continued upward as the Doctor walked away under the tent shape that their arms formed. The crowed took a positive tolerant turn as the two celebrities smiled at them and laughed. It seemed like a dark cloud lifted and as if they were making a moment of history. They both knew it was just a little piece but a piece of it, it was. The Doctor left the door open that he shuffled through, almost hunched. He hung his head down as he moved to the TARDIS... Jeremy looked around, "Okay," he grabbed the mike, "Get your seats at the restaurant and you'll find some free gifts on the tables..." he whispered to Mark, "Anyone that is homeless gets one of these..." Mark nodded, "Okay..." and took the bag Jeremy handed him. Anna was behind Jeremy, with his family. "We'll all meet you there..." Jeremy turned, his bodyguard keeping the crowd back. Jesse turned with him, knowing he was looking for the Doctor. They didn't have to speak at this point. They both knew what was happening. Jesse nodded his head toward the open door. Jeremy nodded. They both took off for the door. Inside the building, the Doctor moved through the TARDIS doors. He shut them. "I"ll miss you, both, boys." He leaned on the doors. "Master..." "Always alone. Cept for that I have a dog with no real nose. Ahh, well I've been alone in the past...huh, and the future ...alone again, K9, but for you." The Doctor turned to wave his arms uselessly, "Ahhh, K9. I suppose like your predecessors some day, you too, yes, even you, will leave me." "Negative," K9 said, "This unit is loyal to you first and foremost. I shall never leave you. Doctor..." "You're a good dog, K9,'' the Doctor turned him over onto his normal stance. On the table. "Doctor...this unit is built with a telepathic sensor...I've just had a recall ..." Jeremy ran into the lobby. Jesse followed him. Jesse pointed. They both heard the familiar sound. Usually they were inside it when it issued forth from the TARDIS. This time, they were outside. They were just in time to see the last vestiges of the TARDIS's image vanishing into thin air. They both called out his name. "Doctor....!" "Doctor?" "Doctor? Come back!" "Come back!" Jesse kicked up the red carpet on the floor, "Fuck! Fuck shit! He did it to me..., I'm sorry, to us again!" Jeremy looked at the empty space that once held the TARDIS....he was speechless. "Look," Jesse said, "He...he must have had a reason..." "He does. He thinks we don't need him any more. That we're...together and complete...." The TARDIS traveled through the multi colored vortex of time and space... inside, the Doctor sat on the chair and cried, his hands over his face or rather his face buried into his hands. He wept... To be continued...
