Author Note: Ok I have no idea where this story came from, other than the fact that I just sat down at my computer one day and typed the first things that came into my head, then strung them together in some sort of story...hmmm...I blame these films...

- Two Brothers

- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

- Gladiator

For putting these random ideas into my head. OkI should tell you a bit about the story, but I think I summarised it pretty well in this beginning chapter...well at least I hope I did. I didn't, however, do the Disclaimer, so I shall do that now...

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Doctor Who, or the three films stated above...the only things I own are the characters Mia, Tobias and the wording for this story...along with a few of the ideas...and yeah, you get the point. So now, on with the story.

Enjoy!

oOo

"Jack, are you sure this is a very good idea?" Rose asked anxiously as she followed him out of the TARDIS into a jungle clearing. The Doctor and their newest companion Mia weren't far behind and it looked as if they were both sharing Rose's concern.

It had been Jack's idea to come here, because - as he'd constantly assured them - it had beautiful scenery and very friendly locals.

The scenery was beautiful enough, with lush jungle vegetation and a sparkling waterfall leading into a calm river that ran right beside them, but something wasn't right. Only Jack seemed not to be able to sense it as he set off into the thick of the jungle, claiming he knew the way.

"Is he always this infuriating?" Mia asked as she was scratched by yet another thorn.

"Pretty much," Rose replied, remembering Jack and Mia's first meeting.

oOo

The Doctor had just saved her from some huge threat, although neither would say what, and she'd followed him back to the TARDIS, where Jack and Rose had been waiting.

The minute Jack had spotted the eighteen year old, with her long brown hair and deep brown eyes, he'd hit on her. At first she didn't mind, and even played along, flirting back, but it soon became obvious to her that she wasn't the first object of Jack's affection, and she certainly wouldn't be the last, so she'd given him a rather nasty backhander (resulting in a nose bleed) when he'd tried to kiss her, and from then on, the two hadn't always seen eye to eye.

Mia had been traveling with them now for well over a month, and she and Rose had become firm friends, because both were glad of another female to share secrets with that they couldn't (or didn't want) to share with the boys.

Mia was also a brilliant prankster and could easily match Rose and Jack's best efforts to prank each other when they had nothing to do during their time in the time vortex.

Of course, once Rose had got Mia on her side, however, the two had pranked the poor Captain non stop for days.

The Doctor didn't mind. He liked Mia's company almost as much as he liked Rose's, although there was a reason why he liked Rose more, which Mia was well aware of.

She didn't mind, and actually encouraged him sometimes, which he could be grateful for at times, but at others he wished he'd never told her. She was the only one who knew, because he trusted her more than he trusted Jack, and he'd never have the guts to tell Rose.

oOo

"See I told you!" Jack cried triumphantly as they emerged onto a dusty road and Mia groaned.

"What are we supposed to do now, Captain? Drive our imaginary cars?"

Rose disguised her giggle as a cough, which still earned her a glare from Jack, but she pretended not to notice.

"Which way?" Mia turned to the Doctor, who just shrugged.

"Jack knows this place better than I do. Ask him."

"Shhh, don't make his head any bigger. It won't fit through the TARDIS door."

Rose couldn't help it and burst out laughing this time. Even the Doctor chuckled as Jack spun threateningly towards Mia and raised a finger, his mouth opening and closing but no words coming out.

"Oooh, how threatening," Mia said in mock surprise, raising her hands above her head. "What you gonna do, point me to death?"

Rose was close to collapsing because she was laughing so hard now, but the Doctor had stopped smiling and was listening to something. A deep rumble from somewhere in the distance, and it was coming towards them.

"Into the trees!" he said suddenly and they all stopped teasing each other and looked at him worriedly. They could hear the noise aswell now and none of them hung around to find out what it was.

They ran as fast as they could, back into the cover of the trees and watched as a huge black truck pulled up close to where they had been standing moments before. It looked like some kind of prison van, and armed guards were now jumping down and darting in all directions.

Two of them headed towards the four hidden in the trees, and all four shrunk back as far as they dared without making a sound.

Jack and the Doctor looked at each other and shook their heads. They could easily take on the guards, but not before they'd raised the alarm and alerted the whole army.

They just had to hope that they weren't found

oOo

As it happened, luck wasn't really on their side, because just as the two guards were about to turn away, a creepy little lizard thing bit Mia's finger and she yelped in pain, then clamped a hand over her mouth, her eyes wide in shock.

Then, as they'd all stayed perfectly still, hoping the guards wouldn't spot them, Jack was bitten by one aswell and jumped three feet in the air.

"There they are!" one of the guards shouted as Mia and Rose darted out of the bushes one way, and the Doctor and Jack ran the other.

The entire army of guards came after them, splitting up to chase the two groups, Rose and Mia's youth carrying them easily away from their pursuers, while the Doctor and Jack had to rely on cunning and using the trees as cover.

Somehow the four of them almost managed to meet up again at the edge of a cliff with no where to run. Only a small stretch of trees seperated them, but they could still see and hear each other.

"What now?" Rose cried as they were surrounded.

"I'm thinking!"

"Well would you mind thinking a little faster," Mia yelled as she ducked a laser blast from a nearby guard and kicked out at him. Her foot connected with his chin, throwing his head back and knocking his helmet off to reveal a young Japanese lad, no more than seventeen at the most.

"He's doing his best!" Jack snapped back as he sent another guard sprawling backwards.

"Shut up!" Mia shouted angrily as she grabbed another nearby guard round the neck and used him as a shield. Rose darted behind her and for the moment they were safe.

The Doctor and Jack had finally gone for a more peaceful approach to their captors, in the fact, they'd put up their hands and surrendered.

After all, the Doctor had always reckoned that getting captured was the easiest way to get taken to the big boss man.

Mia and Rose didn't quite share his idea though and continued to put up a fight until at last two guards managed to get a clear shot and sent two laser bolts whizzing through the air, catching the two girls in the chest.

Both dropped to the floor, unconscious and the Doctor and Jack tried to get to them, only to be herded back into the huge black truck, leaving their helpless companions laying in the dust.

The Doctor knew they weren't dead, but he didn't want to just leave them lying helplessly out in the open like that. Who knew what kind of wildlife they had on this planet, and those creepy little lizards didn't exactly look vegetarian.

"It's all your fault!" he snapped at Jack as the truck began to pull away, back along the dusty track, and for once, Jack couldn't argue.
