Me again! I recently uploaded a fic about the Doctor's reaction to Hermione's time-turner, but what would Captain Jack think? Here they are, having a battle over which of their time-travelling devices are better. At the end, please use the poll on my profile to vote on which you think is better, and I'll give the winning voters a cookie each. Enjoy!

"Doctor?" Hermione yelled, poking her head into the door of the TARDIS. There was no reply, so she hesitated on the doorstep in Hogsmeade. Would the Doctor mind if she went inside?

Thankfully, experience with Harry and Ron had made her less picky about being good, so she stepped into the ship and stood awkwardly in the doorway. She was absent-mindedly tapping on her nail so she didn't notice an American man from the 51st Century come into the control room and look at her oddly.

"Erm, Hello?" The man said with an American accent.

Hermione would think he was handsome, but he's too old for her. "Hey. I'm looking for the Doctor?"

"Oh, right," The man said. "He's in the library… something about finding prohibitors…"

"Right," Hermione said, annoyed that he was talking about something she hadn't read about. "I'm Hermione Granger."

He shook her hand. "Captain Jack Harkness."

They stood there in silence. Akwardly.

…

…

Jack, feeling the uncomfortable atmosphere, coughed and started fiddling with a device on his wrist. Curious, Hermione watched him. "What's that thing?" She asked him, pointing to his wrist.

"A vortex manipulator. Don't tell Doc though, otherwise he'll disable with his screwdriver…" Jack showed her and she frowned.

Wanting to prove that he wasn't the only one with a time device, she took the time-turner off from round her neck and showed it to him. "This is a time-turner."

"I've never see one of those before…" He looked at it curiously.

Hermione looked smug. "Yeah, it is pretty cool."

"Yeah," Jack said, "But mine's cooler. It can teleport as well."

Hermione flushed angrily. "At least mine doesn't look like it came out of a hippogriff's bottom…"

Jack matched her colour. "Yeah? At lease mine doesn't look like something on a Barbie doll."

Hermione gasped. "You didn't…"

"Oh, yes I did." Jack said smugly, doing the hand movements as well.

"Well your-your- vortex thing has a stupid long and boring name! Why would anyone name something a vortex manipulator? At least the word time-turner gets straight to the point…"

Jack growled. "It is a clever word that suits the device- that is a stupid object that hardly counts as time-traveling. And at least my vortex manipulator travels forward in time."

Hermione blinked. "Yeah? Well, well… at least the Doctor can't disable mine- it runs on magic, so the sonic can't disable it!"

Jack's turn to blink. "Yeah… well… mine comes from the 51st Century!"

"Mine was made by Magic!"

"MINE'S BETTER, FUTURE MRS GRANGER!"

"NO, MINE'S BETTER, BOW-FACE!"

There were footsteps from the doorway. "What's going on here?"

Hermione smiled sweetly. "We were just comparing time devices, Doctor."

"Isn't it that my manipulator is better?"

"No!" Hermione yelled. "Mine's better! Tell him Doctor!"

The Doctor looked between the two.

And I'll leave it at that! *Evil Laugh* Now you decide whether the Doctor prefers the time-turner or the Vortex manipulator. The first side to get 5 votes on my poll wins. Go to my profile and vote!

If I missed any arguments I'd be glad to put them in- PM me. Thanks again. =D

(I realise this wasn't the best, but bear with me- the Doctor will be in the next chapter)
