A recap of my previous stories, which tied in with this story.
I do not own the TARDIS, Rose, The Doctor.
What has happened beforeā¦
We picked up where Parting of Ways left off; The Doctor had just regenerated in front of Rose Tyler into his Tenth Self, only it had gone wrong. A Palaver in Time tells the story of how something had gone wrong in the Doctor's regeneration, and he was in fact regenerating backwards. This was the least of The Doctor's problems. As he was regenerating backwards, Rose Tyler suddenly died for no apparent reason right in front of his eyes. Stuck in his Eighth body, he was forced to tell Jackie Tyler that her daughter had died as something had gone seriously wrong. The two set off together to find an answer to this dilemma, and the TARDIS travels them back into the Doctor's Timeline to confront his First self, immediately after the Eighth Doctor had confronted his First self in the BBC Novel The Eight Doctors. Their minds touch, and the First Doctor learns everything that has befallen the Doctor up until that point. He offers the same advice as before- Trust the TARDIS. The First Doctor also has a feeling somebody may be tampering within the Doctor's timeline. The Doctor takes this advice on board when he returns to his Seventh Body. The Seventh Doctor and Jackie immediately leave to return to the Powell Estate but something has gone wrong. The world had changed. There was barely any humans or animals about, only spiders; spiders which the Doctor had met before, and had forced him to change from his Third Self to his Fourth Self. The Doctor has the realisation that his Third Self never destroyed the Spiders that attacked before. History had been changed. Jackie got taken by the spiders though the Doctor was saved by UNIT and former companion Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, though not the same person as he remembered. The Doctor's history had been changed. Jamie and Zoe, the Second Doctor's companions had died instead of having their memories erased and returned to their timelines. The Third Doctor had apparently murderer Jo Grant. The Spiders had overrun the UK, and the rest of the world.
The Doctor suddenly realised that the only person meddling in his own timeline was himself. While saving Jackie, he realised he could do nothing for these people as he ran away quickly from the spiders, watching Liz Shaw, Sarah Jane Smith and the Brigadier die beneath the spiders. Travelling away from the spiders, he once again entered his own time stream to the point where his Fifth self refused to give the antidote to the dying Peri and keeping it all for himself. To complicate matters further, he had to send a note to his Eighth self just before he and Jackie departed for the First Doctor to warn himself. He must block his mind, as the old man was selfish, and saw the destruction of his own people and became bitter and selfish which carried on through his regenerations. The Doctor left Jackie behind and headed straight for Gamestation where Super Rose was waiting, only an extra person was already waiting. The Valeyard, his thirteenth self, had meddled in his own time stream and stolen Compassion. The Doctor now back in his Ninth Self attacked the Valeyard and kissed Rose to complete the regeneration ad the story returns to the ending of Parting of the Ways.
Dangerous Liasions started a new series set immediately after The Christmas Invasion in which the Doctor and Rose visit Pre-Revolutionary France in the palace of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Here they come across a sinister plot to kill the King and Queen and three people who do not seem to fit in perfectly. One was named Gabrielle. The Other named Marie. The Third intrigued The Doctor and Rose. He claimed to be Captain Jack Harkness and the three were on a mission from the Time Agency. The Third's real name was Charlie and Marie had picked him up from the 21st Century not long after Rose went missing. Gabrielle however soon found out about Charlie and threatened to ruin everything. Determined to stop her, Charlie and Marie chased after her, but she was killed before she could reveal too much. The Doctor and Rose invite Charlie and Marie to travel with them. The end of this story reveals that three entities known as the Fates are the true people who meddled in the Doctor's Past and have an ultimate agenda above that of the Time Agency's regarding the Doctor.
Land of Make Believe sees Rose and Charlie put into fantasy scenarios. Charlie is put a nightmare version of Willy Wonka, while Rose is in The War of the Worlds. Neither can remember how they got into these situations nor what has happened to their other companions. The Doctor is lying on his back, unconscious, on an operating table where Chloe, a time agent in charge of the facility on her own, was conducting experiments involving the Doctor and Rose but was interrupted by Marie who had taken a nap in the TARDIS due to some terrible nightmares she had been having. Marie and Rose, who had somehow been released from her scenario, overpowered Chloe and put her in her own nightmare scenario. Soon The Doctor recovered and Charlie was removed from his scenario and the Doctor destroyed the station. The story ended with Eleri and Cho, two of the Fates, arguing over the mission they had been given.
The Story continues.
