Don't know if this has been done before; I did look through the other stories but I got bored on page 9, so if it has… sorry!!

Set at the end of The IT crowd - 'The Red Door'.

D/C: None of it is mine, both shows belongs to various people, none of which are me. :(

Will be mainly Boosh... but not in this chapter.

Okay, here goes:


"Everything will be fine as long as no one goes through that door." said Roy, pointing at a the menacing green door with the lion head.

"Why?" Jen asked, that familiar feeling of curiosity bubbling up inside her again. The one she'd had just before she'd stumbled upon the gothic forth member of the IT department.

"D'you want another replay of what just happened?" Roy asked, eyes flicking to the red door and remembering the whole sorry 'Richmond' incident.

"What? Is there another Goth behind this door too?" she asked, stepping towards the door. She felt as though she was being sucked in, like a moth drawn to the flame. She couldn't resist.

"I don't know." Roy answered truthfully, "we've never opened it"

"I am going to estimate that it is very improbable that another Goth lives behind that door. What it is safe to say is that we should never look." announced Moss pushing his glasses further up his nose.

"Jen!" warned Roy, as Jen put her hand mindlessly on the door handle and stroked it, almost lovingly.

"What? I wasn't going to open it, I was just… making sure the handle wasn't… cold."

"Ah, right. Well that's okay then." said Moss, sitting down behind the desk.

"hmmm," Jen disappeared in to her office, saying "I'm going to just get on with some work then."

"Moss. Moss." hissed Roy, when he thought Jen was safely out of ear shot.

"Mmm?"

"I've got to go up to fifth floor and sort out Julia's computer."

"Has she tried turning it off and on again?"

"I don't know, but apparently she used to be a model. So, I think I'm going to deal with this personally."

"Oh, I see. A lady."

"Yes Moss, a lady. But you have to keep an eye on Jen. Make sure she doesn't open that door."

"But she said she wouldn't…"

"Yeah, she did, she did say that but I didn't believe her."

"Why not?"

"She lies all the time Moss!" yelled Roy.

"Yes, but… this time I think she's telling the truth. We need to trust Jen more now."

"She let Richmond out of the his room after we told her not to."

"I think that was a mistake."

"I think you're an idiot. Just make sure Jen doesn't go through that door. Got it?"

"Okay."

"Excellent." said Roy, leaving the room quickly.

--

A few minutes later Jen reappeared from the office.

"Moss, I've just had a phone call from Denholm,"

"I didn't hear the phone ring."

"Well it did. He's got a problem with his... laptop." she said, eyeing the green door.

"Has he tried turning it off and on again?"

"Ummm, yes."

"Has he checked it's plugged in?"

"Umm, I'm going to say yes."

"Has he…"

"YES MOSS! He's done everything he had to, it's still broken! Now get up there an fix it."

"Oh, okay then." Moss jumped up, knocking the phone off his desk. "But you have to promise not to go through that door, while I'm away."

"Oh I wont." Jen promised, almost drooling as she stared at the door.

"Then I can see no reason at all as to why I shouldn't leave you almost entirely alone with this door." Moss said, picking up a circuit board and trotting quickly to Denholm's office.

--

'It's so beautiful' breathed Jen, touching the door handle. She couldn't resist, she pushed the door hard. It was stuck, she pushed it even harder. Still stuck. She kicked the door.

"ARGH!" She grabbed her painful foot, punching the door with her fist. She needed someone to help her. "Richmond." she breathed, spinning round and coming face to face with the Goth.

"Ahhhh!" she screamed. Richmond jumped furiously.

"What is it?" he said, in his low baritone.

"Sorry Richmond. I didn't mean to make you jump."

"Did I startle you?"

"Um, a little."

"But you did call me, didn't you?"

"Well, I said your name."

"I see, I have very sensitive hearing you see. Most Goths do, we need it to be able to fully appreciate the intricacy of contemporary dark wave bands such as 'Cradle of Filth'."

"I see, well now that you're here, d'you think you can give me a hand?"

"I suppose. What is it that you need?"

"Just open this door."

"This door." Richmond asked, pointing a long pale finger at the door.

"Yes, just give it a push."

Richmond pushed the door open with little effort.

"Hello" came a voice from the darkness behind the door.

"Hello." Jen called back.

"Hello." came the voice again, sounding a little nervous.

"Who's there?" called Jen.

"Are you a Goth?" Richmond added. "I like the lions head on your door."

"Howard." yelled the shaky voice. "Howard, Help! There's voices coming from our fireplace."

"Howard?" mouthed Jen. Richmond shrugged in response as a second northern voice replied:

"Have you been out drinking all night again Vince? Voices from the fireplace, honestly."

"I think we should go through." Jen whispered, turning back to Richmond.

"Oh, oh I don't know. Moss and Roy said we shouldn't go through this door."

"But there's people in here Richmond, remember how you felt before you were allowed out of your room."

"Yes." answered the Goth, staring off into the distance.

"Don't do that." sighed Jen, grabbing the Goths arm. "Come on. We're going through."

And without waiting for a response Jen pulled Richmond through the door, shutting it behind them.


What d'you think? Should I continue? I'm not sure how it's going to work from now on (maybe a Vince/Richmond direction, or is that wrong??). Either way, I love The IT crowd and the Mighty Boosh so I figured a cross-over was the only way to go.

Love to know what ya think!
