Hi. Just a little something I've been working on. Let me know what you think. I apologize if any of this is wrong. I'm an American writing British fanfiction. I also apologize if the characters are out of character. I'll try really hard to get them in character. If you guys could let me know if they are out and how much they are out of character, that would be great. Any way, no one really reads these so enjoy and I don't own Doctor Who.
The 9th Doctor was on the phone with Rose when it happened. He had just hung up when he felt something in his time senses. Time had frozen. He was pulling out his sonic screwdriver to check when he was surrounded by a bright light.
The 10th Doctor was crying when it happened. He had just said goodnight to Martha and went into Rose's old room. They had just been to New Earth. He curled up on her bed and cried softly. He didn't even care that time froze or there was a disturbance across his time senses. He was engulfed in a bright light that made him stand up.
Rose was dancing when it happened. The Doctor had just saved everyone. Saved Jack. And no one died. The Doctor twirled her and froze same with Jack. Rose was confused. What in the . . . She didn't have time to think more as she was suddenly in a bright white light. Rose screwed up her eyes.
Jack was running when it happened. He was sprinting madly for the TARDIS after he heard her engines about to take off. He didn't notice time freezing because he was all alone. He saw a bright light in the corner of his eye and ran to get away from it. It came faster and faster before surrounding him. He slammed his eyes shut.
Mickey was asking a very important question when it happened. It annoyed him greatly. The Doctor, Rose, Sarah Jane and he had just saved the school from aliens. He was in the middle of asking if he could go with the Doctor when time froze. "Hello?" Mickey asked. He waved his hand in front of Rose's face. He got no response. Mickey huffed. "Well, that's a little creepy." He was about to say more when the bright light descended.
The 9th Doctor found himself in a blue room with couches and armchairs. There was even a caged seat in the corner. He used his sonic screwdriver to look around and was not pleased with the results he got. "What do you mean we are nowhere?" He smacked the screwdriver against his palm.
"You know, that doesn't help it." A voice said.
The 9th Doctor spun around to be confronted with a girl. She was about 25 years old with dark hair and bright eyes.
"Who are you?" The 9th Doctor asked. His accent coming out strong.
"A friend." The girl responded. "Here to help."
The 9th Doctor snorted. "You're no friend of mine."
The girl inclined her head. "Perhaps. Now sit down, wherever you like. We are waiting for a few more people."
The 9th Doctor sat down in an arm chair that was against the wall. His back to the wall, now he could see everything in the room.
Four more bright lights appeared in the room. When the spots cleared from his eyes he found four people, a bright eyed pretty boy with hair standing straight up staring at Rose with a weird expression on his face, a tall pretty boy with short hair and blue eyes that made his time senses feel weird, Mickey Smith and Rose Tyler. The 9th Doctor sat back and watched everyone. He wasn't going to announce his presence until he knew who the two pretty boys were.
"Rosie!" The pretty boy with short hair ran at Rose and picked her up in a twirling hug.
The 9th Doctor scrunched his face up. Please don't tell me we take this Pretty Boy with us.
"Jack? What's going on? We just met." Rose said clearly uncomfortable.
Jack dropped her to the floor gently. His face scrunched up in confusion. "When are you?" He asked.
"We had just saved you from your ship blowing up. We were dancing and then . . . Where are we?" Rose said, just now realizing what her surroundings were.
The other Pretty boy looked like he was choking back something.
"Looks like I am the furthest out of all of us." Mickey said.
"Th- That's not true." Whispered Pretty Boy 2.
"Oh, then where are you from, Doctor?" Mickey asked.
The 9th Doctor about choked. That's who he turns into. He snuck a glance at Rose. Well, no wonder.
Rose looked shocked. "Doctor? That's not the Doctor. The Doctor that I know isn't like that."
Pretty Boy 2's face crumbled for a second then he put his mask in place. Only the 9th Doctor caught it. What had happened to make him like that? He saw how the 10th Doctor was looking at Rose and almost seemed to be mentally trying to hold himself back. The 9th Doctor heaved an inaudible sigh. Now he knew why.
"What are you doing here Mickey? I thought you didn't want to travel with the Doctor." Rose continued. "And who is this?" She pointed over at the 10th Doctor. "Where's the Doctor?"
The 9th and 10th Doctor's winced. The 9th Doctor decided to help out his older self. "'M right here, Rose Tyler."
Everyone's heads whipped over to his arm chair. Rose's eyes lit up.
"Now, I'm from the furthest back from when we are. You all are ahead of me in the timeline. So, remember, no telling anyone anything about where you came from, what you are doing and so on. I'm from right after the Slitheen in Downing street." The 9th Doctor said.
"I just met Jack." Rose said.
"You know," The girl from earlier said getting up and stretching. "That was really entertaining. Thanks. Now, if all of you would-"
"Who are you?" interrupted Mickey.
The girl put her finger to her lips. "It's rude to interrupt. Didn't your gran ever teach you that?"
Mickey tried to talk but found he couldn't. He got scared and made frantic gestures with his hands.
"What did you do to Mickey?" Rose demanded. Rose stepped forward but was slightly pushed back by Jack, the 10th Doctor and the 9th Doctor who all stepped in front of her.
The girl sighed. "For the love of-. I'm nobody of importance. Just call me Blue. Now, I am doing something to help the Doctor. So sit down and shut up." She gestured to the chairs. "Don't all just sit down. I will place you where I want you to sit. You, Nine, you can sit back where you were."
The 9th Doctor went back to his seat against the wall.
"Why did she call you Nine? Doctor? What's going on here? I'm not sitting until I know everything. Who is that?" Rose pointed to the 10th Doctor. "Why did you call the Doctor Nine? And who exactly are you?"
Blue looked over at both Doctors. "Should I tell her or should you?"
The 9th Doctor said, "I'll tell her. She knows me better than him or you."
Rose had an expectant look on her face.
"Rose? There's this thing I do if I'm dying. I- I guess you can say I change my body. Change every cell in my body to someone else." The 9th Doctor explained.
Rose choked on a sob.
"This body is my ninth. That one over there must be my tenth. I only have 13 bodies. 12 regenerations." The 9th Doctor continued.
"S- so your saying that you die on me sometime in the future." Rose choked out.
"Yes." The 9th Doctor said. "For your guys sake we are calling me, Nine and him, Ten."
Ten looked like he wanted to reach out and touch Rose. He caught Nine's look though and pulled his hand back.
"So." Blue said as she clapped her hands together. "Let's see. Mickey, you can have that armchair over there. It reclines back just so you know. Jack, you can sit on the couch on the right side. Rose, you can sit in the middle of that couch, and Ten, you can sit either in the other arm chair or on the couch next to Rose." Blue gave the 10th Doctor a meaningful look. "Either option will always be open to you."
Ten nodded gratefully. He went and sat in the arm chair. If he sat next to Rose he wouldn't be able to hold himself back.
"Hey, Doc. What happened to your brown suit?" Mickey asked.
Both Doctor's looked up. The Ninth Doctor frowned when he saw what color his other self was wearing.
"I just thought a change would be good." Ten said brusquely. "Now, what are we doing here?"
Blue looked up. "We are helping you, Doctor. I have orders from way above you on time, that I had permission to do this. I am changing your timeline." Blue paused for the Doctor's' reaction. She wasn't surprised.
Ten and Nine both stood up. They leveled glares at her. "Who?" Demanded Nine.
"Who told you, you could do this? This is breaking every law of time there is. I demand to know who?" Ten yelled.
Blue's eyes flared with blue fire. She spoke something in a high musical voice. Both Doctor's froze when she spoke it. "Now sit down Theta."
"How . . how do you know that name?" Ten stammered.
Blue sighed impatiently. "I have already told you. Now sit down so I can explain to the others."
The Doctors sat down.
"Thank you. As I was saying, I am changing the Doctor's timeline. There are things that should have never happened. Some things that hadn't happened, and some things that will change. We are going to watch TV. I've been to other worlds-" Blue paused as she heard Ten's breathing hitch. "Very interesting other worlds. You might even call them parallel worlds." She laughed quietly to herself. "And in all of them I had come across, I finally found the one I was looking for. It is called the World Between Worlds. Basically, every other world is either a book or a TV show to them. Including this world. It's a TV show called Doctor Who. We are going to watch it. It starts when Nine met Rose. It is still going strong in that world. So far they are up to the 12th Doctor. They are making more as we speak. I believe the 12th Doctor had just regenerated. Anyway, we are watching it. Just let me que it up." Blue pulled a remote out of nowhere. She pressed a button and a flatscreen TV rolled down from the ceiling. The menu already pulled up.
"Where did you pull that remote from?" Jack asked. "You don't have pockets."
Blue winked at him. "Wouldn't you like to know."
She pressed play all on the screen. The lights dimmed and the show started.
The screen opens on the time vortex. We see the TARDIS spinning around in it while music plays. BBC Appears on the bottom of the screen.
"What's BBC stand for?" asked Rose.
"British Broadcasting Corporation. Since this mostly takes place in the UK the British people have the rights and claims to it." Blue explained.
The Tardis continues in the time vortex and we see a name pop up. Christopher Eccleston.
"Who's-?" Mickey starts.
"The Doctor." Blue interrupts.
Mickey looks offended.
"Not so nice is it, Mickey." Blue said smugly. "Anyway, they have actors and actresses play you guys. They are remarkably close to your guy's looks. We have Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. We have Billie Piper as Rose. Noel Clarke as Mickey. John Barrowman as Jack, he's gay by the way. Only pretends to like girls. Oh, on one occasion he kisses David Tennant who is the Tenth Doctor. And Camille as Jackie." Blue said, ignoring Ten blushing and stuttering and Jack's smug look.
Blue presses play again.
The Tardis flies through the time vortex as as the name Billie Piper pops up followed by a sign that says Doctor Who on it. Followed by the words Rose by Russell T Davies.
"Rose gets an episode named after her?" Jack asked, huffing.
"Don't worry, Jack. When you come in, you get two whole episodes dedicated to you." Blue consoled.
Jack cheered. "Yes."
Blue pressed play.
The screen blacks out and opens again on a picture of the moon in space. The view turns until they are looking at the Earth. It zooms in until it reaches Rose's alarm clock which is reading 7:30 am. Rose shuts it off and gets up. Her hair a mess and she is surrounded in blankets.
Ten smiles softly at the familiar sight. He hoped that Rose falling would be something that he can change. He doesn't notice Nine and Rose looking at him.
"Interesting hairdo Rosie." Jack said, laughing. "I can't wait for all of the dirt and stuff I will get on you, the Doc, and Mickey Mouse over here."
A pillow smacked him in the face. "Oi. Be nice." Rose said.
"Oh, come here, Rosie." Jack was reaching to pull Rose into his side when he caught the looks on both Nine and Ten's face. He held his hands up and backed off.
Blue sighed. "Can I press play now? We have at least four seasons of thirteen episodes each to get through. Not counting the Christmas specials I want to do."
Everyone nodded.
"Good." Blue pressed play on the remote.
We see Rose getting out of bed. Next we see Rose grabbing her bag. We also see Jackie drinking something on the couch.
Ten smiled sadly. He hopes Jackie has a good life.
Nine watched his older self sadly. Jackie, too? He sighed. He will change that, at least. For Rose. Not for any other reason.
Rose kisses Jackie on the cheek, grabs her keys and leaves the flat, calling "Bye." as she goes.
"See you later." Jackie calls back. Jackie grabs the phone from in front of her.
Rose heads down the stairs of the Powell Estate.
We have a view of London stopping at a bus as Rose hops off of it. We now see Rose running into a store that says Henrik's Sale on a banner above it. Rose is now folding shirts.
Another view of London and we stop on a fountain where Mickey and Rose are having lunch.
"You know, it's weird to see yourself on the screen." Mickey says.
Rose nods. "I know."
Mickey messes around with Rose and takes a huge bite out of his sandwich. Mickey dances and Rose is laughing.
Ten sighs softly. She's beautiful. He thinks before catching himself.
Mickey and Rose kiss before going their separate ways.
Rose is folding more shirts.
A voice over an intercom announces that the store will be closing in five minutes. Another view of London then Rose is seen walking out of the store. A security guard stops her with an "Oi." and by shaking a bag full of money.
Rose takes it and runs for the lift. The doors close and we see it going down the ramp. The doors open on the basement floor. Rose steps out and looks both ways before calling out. "Wilson?" Rose walks toward the left. "Wilson, I've got the lottery money. Wilson?" Rose knocks on a blue door that has a nameplate that says 'H.P Wilson C.E.O.'
"Wilson, you there?" Rose pulls on the door handle. "Look, I can't hang about because they're closing the shop." Rose rubs her nose. "Wilson?" She calls. "Oh, come on." She looks ahead of her before hearing a clattering sound from behind her. She turns her head toward the sound. "Hello?" Rose starts walking towards the sound.
"Oh, the human race, so curious." Nine says.
Rose laughs. "I thought we were all 'stupid apes.'" She said mimicking his Northern accent.
"Oi. I don't sound like that." Nine said mock offended.
"Yeah, you do Doc." Jack said.
Nine glared at Jack behind Rose's back. 'Hand's off the Blonde.' was what his look said.
Jack sighed. He was used to that glare but he still listened to it.
Blue turned back on the show.
"Hello? Wilson, it's Rose." She's walking further towards the sound. "Hello? Wil-Wilson?" Rose sounds less sure of herself now. She turns toward a red door and pushes it open. She walks into a dark room and flips on the lights. "Wilson?" She calls. She walks further into the room. She walks past a bunch of shop dummies. "Wilson?" She yells. She walks over to another red door and reaches to open it. In the background we see the first red door slam shut. Rose runs for the door. She pulls on the handle several times. "Are you kidding me." She says. A noise happens and Rose turns around, a little bit scared. "Is that someone mucking about?" She walks back into the room past more dummies. "Who is it?"
A shop dummy looks after her as she passes.
"That's creepy." Jack says. "So, this is how you two meet. Exciting. Don't you think Doc." Jack winks at Ten.
Ten smiles sadly. "Yeah." He says in a quiet whisper.
"What's wrong with you Doctor? You're not usually like this." Mickey asked in no way concerned. Not at all.
Ten stiffened. He had forgotten that there was somebody here that knew him from before. He put on a slightly manic smile. "I'm fine Mickey."
"No, you're not. What happened?" Mickey pressed.
"Mickey?" Ten said. "Drop it." He glared at him.
Mickey held up his hands. "Fine. We will be talking later."
"You will know eventually." Blue said. "We will see what happens to make Ten like he is."
Nine winced.
"Please, I can change it, right? You can change it?" Ten pleaded.
Blue nodded. "She can. That's why I'm doing this. That's one of those things that are meant to change."
Ten sighed in relief. "Thank you."
Nine looked suspicious. He spoke in Gallifreyan to Ten that they will talk later.
Ten nodded.
Blue pressed play.
Rose turns at the sound of plastic. The dummy moves out of the shadows into the light. Rose backs up. "You got me. Very funny." She says pointing at it shakily.
More dummies start moving, following Rose as she backs up. "Alright, I got the joke." Rose keeps backing up. "Who's idea was this? Is it Derek's? Is it?" Rose backs up further.
Mickey and Jack are on the edge of their seats in suspense.
More and more dummies are moving towards Rose. Rose ducks and turns to the side of the room. "Derek is this you?" Rose backs up and trips over a box. Rose backs up until she's next to a door. The dummies raise their hands to chop Rose in half. Rose gasps. We then see two hands as they clasp together. They are the Doctor and Rose's hands.
"Run." The Doctor says.
Ten sniffs a little.
"Alright, Ten? What's up with you?" Mickey says, grabbing the remote out of Blue's hands and pressing pause.
Ten looks up. He smiles slightly. "I'm fine."
"No. You aren't." Mickey says forcefully. "You may think I'm a tin dog but that only means I observe well. I know you. You usually are talking a million miles an hour. You wouldn't be acting like this unless something tragic has happened. Now, I'll ask again, what happened?"
Ten looks pleadingly at Blue.
Blue looked away. "I'm keeping out of this. But, think of it this way, the sooner you tell, the sooner you can-"
Ten cut her off. "You can stop right there, Blue." Ten thought for a moment. "I can change this? Absolutely change it? Nothing bad will happen if I say?" Ten asked Blue.
Blue nodded. "As I have said before, they will see it. It might be better for you to say now than to keep it bottled up and have it all explode when you have to see it again."
Ten exhaled. "Rose-. I lose Rose."
Rose gasps. "Do I?"
Ten shakes his head. "No. You don't die. Nor do I leave you behind." He adds on. "As Blue has said there are parallel worlds. We end up falling through to one where Pete doesn't die. His schemes work and he is really wealthy. That world's Jackie and Pete don't have kids though. My old enemy, Cybermen,"
Nine hisses a breath out between his teeth. "Don't tell me . . . Does she?"
"Oi! Big ears, if you were listening I said she doesn't die." Ten said roughly.
"Technically, that's not dying." Nine pointed out.
Ten glares at him.
"Sorry. Continue." Nine said, softly.
"Cybermen attack in that world. They end up getting that world's Jackie. Rose, Mickey, and I, along with Parallel Mickey, who's name is Rickey, Parallel Pete, Jake, a friend of Rickey's, and Angela Pierce defeat them. We managed to save London, but there were more factories in that world. Rickey and Angela end up dying. Mickey stays behind as a replacement for Rickey. Anyway, Rose and I escape that world. Until Torchwood-" Ten spit the word out like it was acid. "Found a breach between the worlds. They messed with it until a prison ship full of daleks came through. Cybermen started leaking through as well. They fought each other. I managed to send them back into the Void. But Rose and I were steeped in Void stuff. Torchwood had Magna clamps that she and I held onto, but." Here Ten's voice cracked. "A dalek hit the lever on Rose's side. Rose managed to get it back up, but she couldn't hold on." Ten was crying now. "She fell towards the Void. Parallel Pete caught her before she hit and took her to his world. I had to close the breach. I- I- I couldn't-"
Rose got up and went over to Ten. "Shhh." She ran her hand through his hair. Ten reached out and pulled her to him. "It's okay. I'm here." Ten cried quietly into her neck. "Come on, let's go sit on the couch." Rose pulled Ten to a standing position and walked him over to the couch. She pushed him down and sat next to him, curling up into his side. Ten pulled her closer so she was almost in his lap. He placed his head against hers. Rose nodded at Blue.
Blue snatched the remote out of a shell-shocked Mickey's hands and pressed play.
The Doctor pulls Rose through a door and towards a lift as the dummies chase them. The Doctor closes the lift doors as the dummies are closing in. The doors don't close in time. One of the dummies sticks its arm through the doors. The Doctor grabs it and pulls until it comes off. The doors finally close.
"You pulled his arm off." Rose says in disbelief.
"Yup." The Doctor says as he examines the arm. "Plastic." He says as he tosses it to Rose.
"Very clever. Nice trick. Who are they, then? Students?" Rose said, still looking in disbelief at the arm. "Is this a student thing or what?"
"Why would it be students?" The Doctor asks looking back at her.
"I don't know." Rose says, breathlessly.
"Well, you said it. Why students?" The Doctor says back.
"Cause to get that many people dressed up and being silly, they got to be students." Rose explained her theory.
The Doctor turns to face her. "That makes sense. Well done."
"Thanks." Rose said.
"They're not students." The Doctor says flatly.
"Whoever they are when Wilson finds them, he's going to call the police." Rose says as the lift slows to a stop.
"Who's Wilson?" asks the Doctor.
"Chief Electrician." Rose says back.
"Wilson's dead." The Doctor says as the lift door open.
"Harsh, Doc." Jack said trying to lighten the mood.
"Shut it, Harkness." Ten mumbled into Rose's neck.
Jack raised his hands in surrender. "Sorry."
The Doctor leaves the lift.
"That's just not funny. That's sick." Rose says as she follows The Doctor out of the lift.
The Doctor grabs Rose's shoulders. "Hold on. Mind your eyes." He says and pulls out his sonic screwdriver.
"I've had enough of this now." Rose says as the Doctor sonics the lift controls. A blinding light flashes and Rose flinches back. "Who are you then?" Rose asks, angrily.
The Doctor just walks past.
"Who is that lot down there? I said, who are they?" Rose yells as she runs after him.
"They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures." The Doctor says as he takes off down the corridor. He climbs some stairs as he says, "They're being controlled by a relay device on the roof, which would be a great big problem if I didn't have this." He waves a bomb at her. "So, I'm gonna go and blow it up and might very well die in the process." He says as he opens the outside door. "Don't worry about me, you go on, go on and have your lovely beans on toast." He says as he ushers her out the door. "Don't tell anyone about this or you're going to get them killed." The Doctor says as he closes the door.
Rose just stands there.
The door opens again. "I'm the Doctor by the way. What's your name?"
"Rose." Rose says, in shock.
"Nice to meet you Rose. Run for your life." The Doctor says, waving the bomb again.
The door shuts again. Rose just stands there.
"Stupid ape." Ten says fondly as he sits up. He still held Rose closer, but looser now. "Should've known even back then how jeopardy friendly you are."
"Oi!" Rose said and nudged him in the ribs.
Ten huffed out a laugh.
"I missed you." Ten said, his eyes shiney.
Rose softened. She pulled him even closer to her. She hadn't even met this him yet, and already he was so familiar. She looked over at Nine. He was watching them. "You okay?" She mouthed.
Nine nodded. "I'm fine. He needs you." He mouthed back. Nine turned back to the show, which was on pause.
When everyone was silent Blue started the show again.
Rose starts running. Rose keeps looking back as she runs around to the front of the store. Rose stops at the street and waits for a perfect time to cross. When it happens she runs across, almost getting hit by a taxi.
Nine and Ten flinch. "See, jeopardy friendly. You could've gotten killed." Nine said.
Ten winces.
"Bad choice of words, Doc." Jack whispers at him.
Nine looks over at Ten. "Sorry."
Ten nods. "It's fine."
Rose makes it across the street and turns to look at her job. She looks away then whips her head back as her shop explodes.
"Spectacular explosion Doc." Jack cheers.
Rose runs off after the explosion. She runs right past the TARDIS.
The Doctors beam at their ship.
The TV in Rose's flat is blaring the news. Jackie is on the phone saying, "I know it's on the Telly. It's everywhere. She's lucky to be alive." While handing Rose a cup of tea. "Honestly, it's aged her. Skin like an old Bible. Walking in now, you'd think I was her daughter."
Mickey laughs. "Jackie will never change."
Jack whistles. "Wow. I almost feel bad for you Rosie. But I know she was a good mother, so I don't, but just imagine the embarrassment you went through as a child."
Rose grimaces as she remembers. "Don't go there Jack."
Blue presses play.
The door opens as Jack says, "Oh here's himself."
Jackie's voice trails off into the background as Mickey comes in the room in a panic. "I've been phoning your mobile. You could've been dead. It's on the news." He walks over to Rose. "i can't believe it your shop went up."
"I'm alright." Rose reassures as Mickey gives her a hug. "I'm fine. Don't make a fuss."
Mickey lets her go and moves to sit next to her. "What happened?"
"I don't know." Rose said.
"What was it, though, what caused it?" Mickey presses further.
"I wasn't even in the shop." Rose says, putting her cup of tea on the table.
"Liar." Jack sings under his breath then yelps in pain as Ten slaps him on the head and Rose elbows him in the ribs. They look at each other, laugh and high five.
Nine looks on with an unidentified emotion in his chest. He'll have to examine that later. He pushed the emotion down and tuned back in in time for Blue to hit the button.
"I was outside. I didn't see anything." Rose said.
Jackie came walking back into the room. "It's Debbie on the end. She knows a man on the Mirror. 500 quid for an interview."
"Oh, that's brilliant. Give it here." Rose says sarcastically. She grabs the phone and hangs up. She slams it down on the table.
Jackie looks offended. "Well, you got to find some way of making money. Your job's kaput and I'm not bailing you out."
The phone rings again. Jackie hurriedly picks it up. "Bev, she's alive. I've told ya, sue for compensation." Jackie's voice again trails off as Mickey and Rose start talking again.
"What are you drinking? Tea?" Mickey picks up Rose's cup and sets it on the table shaking his head. "Nah. Nah. That's no good. That's no good. You're in shock. You need something stronger."
"I'm alright." Rose tries to refuse.
Mickey grabs her hand. "That's okay. You deserve a proper drink. We're going down to the pub. You and me. My treat. How about it?"
"Is there a match on?" Rose asks knowingly.
"No. No." Mickey defends himself. "I just think about you babe."
Rose nods. "There's a match on, ain't there?"
"Well, that's not the point. But we could catch the last five minutes." Mickey says, now that he's been outed.
Nine frowns. That feeling is back and stronger. He tries pushing it down again. It goes down, but only a bit. He glances over at Ten and Rose and sees them sitting together on the couch. It was almost dangerously close to cuddling. The feeling roars back stronger.
Blue senses Nine's struggle and puts the show on pause.
She glances over at him and announces, "We are going to take a quick break. Ten minutes. Bathroom is through that door." She points towards a blue door in a corner. "Kitchen is through there." She now gestures towards an arch way. "And bedrooms are through there." She points to a hallway leading off into a circle room with seven doors around the wall. "These are your rooms. Jack's is the orange door. Mickey's is the green door. Rose's is pink. Nine's is the navy blue door. And Ten's is the Tardis blue door."
Nine immediately got up and went to his room. Jack and Mickey went to the kitchen. Ten reluctantly let Rose go as she got up to stretch.
"I'm just gonna go and check on him." Rose said. She hesitantly approached the navy door and gently knocked.
Ten sat there with Blue with a thoughtful look on his face. "You're hiding something. You're shielding yourself from me."
Blue looked about to respond when Ten said pleadingly, "Don't. Please don't. It's so lonely . . . just . . . don't. You're telepathic. I can tell. Just please, don't shield yourself."
Blue nodded and let down her shields a little. Ten sighed happily. "Thanks."
Jack and Mickey came back in the room with popcorn and other snacks.
Nine and Rose followed shortly.
When everyone was settled, Blue started the show again.
Tala
