As the door the door behind him swung shut, his loving new wife shouted from the kitchen. The sound of her voice brought a bright smile to his face.
"Welcome home Doctor. Dinner is almost on the table. Did you get the milk?" his wife said.
"Of course Rose. I'll put it in the fridge." he replied.
The Doctor looked over at the table and notices five plates and sets of silverware.
"Are we having a tea party tonight?" he joked to Rose.
"No silly. We're having my parents and my... Baby brother over for dinner. Thought I'd have them over before their trip." Rose replied.
"Ah well that should be nice." said The Doctor.
"So how was work honey?"
Just as The Doctor was about to respond a loud knock came from the door.
"I'll get it" he said.
"Hello! Oh how are you doing? It's such a lovely day. So beautiful. But the sun was so intense! Got just about blinded comin' out the shop today" Jackie rambled.
"Hi Doctor" Pete said.
"Welcome" The Doctor said with a smile.
As everyone walked into the kitchen of the flat they all hugged and exchanged greetings. After a dinner of lovely home cooked roast, peas, Yorkshire pudding, and potatoes, the family decided to go watch the Telly. As they were watching some daft little comedy show, the Telly shut off. Then all the lights turned off and the power was lost. Then about eight seconds later the lights stared to flicker. But it wasn't the normal way a light might flicker and then come back on. No. The light flashed with a rhythm. A very specific rhythm. Four flashes. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Rose looked over at The Doctor in confusion.
"No. Oh please no. This can't happen again. Not here" The Doctor muttered.
Then suddenly all power returned.
"What just happened?" asked little five year old Tony.
Then the Telly turned on with the image of a man. But not just any man. A Timelord from the planet Gallifrey it self!
"Hello Doctor" the man on the screen said.
"It's The Master" The Doctor said with a terrified tone.
Then the Telly went back to the comedy show. Rose quickly grabbed the remote and shut off the Telly.
"Who was that Doctor?" Rose asked.
"He's a Timelord like me, but not half human. He's twice as strong as me. I've defeated him many times before. I don't even know how he got here. I just don't understand. So far we've been safe here. Living a normal, well as normal as a Human-Timelord life can be. Rose I have something I haven't told you about."
"Well spit it out!" said Rose, a bit frazzled.
"You see, I-I have been working on something in case there was an emergency. And now there is. I... Have a TARDIS."
"Wait what?"
"Yes. It's not all that my old one was. But I tested it and it worked. I think it would be the safest place for all of us right now."
"Well lets get a move on then" snapped Jackie.
So The Doctor in his new blue suit grabbed his coat and Rose grabbed her purse.
"Just like the good old days. I miss the adventure" Rose said.
So The Doctor then led the Tylers and Rose out of the flat. The TARDIS was in a storage locker. So they all got in Pete's sports car and raced there. They got there and The Doctor unlocked the door and there it was.
"It's different" said Rose.
"The chameleon, circuit works" he said and winked.
Inside was different. Simple. Just a console and two rooms.
"It's bigger on the inside" Rose said and winked at The Doctor.
"Oh yes!" The Doctor said.
Just as The Doctor was about to devise a plan, something terrifying happened. Knock-knock-knock-knock. The TARDIS doors flew open and there he was. The Master.
"Oh how I've missed you oh so much Doctor."
He had regenerated. He was tall with red hair, which just ticked off The Doctor, and he had a Scottish accent.
"What are you doing here?" The Doctor commanded.
"Thought I'd stop in for tea" he smirked.
"Let me be more clear" The Doctor proposed, "How did you get here and why aren't you dead?"
"Oh Doctor. You see when you thought you had changed all those puny humans back to themselves, instead of them being me, one person did not change. This Master copy somehow managed to seek onto your TARDIS in the other universe... And stayed there till you came here to live with your beloved Rose. So he just came out and has been living here since. Oh and did I mention that 'he' is me."
Everyone was scared now.
"But really Doctor. I don't want to cause any more trouble. I'm sorry for what I did at your flat. I filmed that months ago. But I've been thinking... Now since there no hope to get back to the other universe... Why not just start out fresh. We could be a great team. You and me. Maybe even your girlfriend could join in."
"Oi! That's my wife!"
"Oh! Well congratulations! But really Doctor. Is there anyway you could see to forgive me? You've made a new life. Can't I?"
"Well, I suppose, maybe, ok. But know this. The second you try to pull ANYTHING you can never even speak to me again!"
"Agreed."
