Prologue

The Jolly Roger sailed through the portal between realms. A few seconds ago, the Professor and Clara had opened up a portal to get them to sail to wherever the TARDIS was now. The Professor had told the Doctor to meet at the Swale River in Britain as that was the mot hidden spot there. Where the Jolly Roger could emerge and prying eyes could not see it.

The TARDIS was in Britain because they had to use the rift in Cardiff to travel to Neverland. Greg and Tamara kidnapped Henry and now it was up to the Doctor, Clara, Emma, Mary Margaret, David, Mr Gold and Regina to save him. The Professor had declined at the chance to go. He had to stay behind and make sure Storybrooke was safe. That everyone had a home when they got back.

Once the Jolly Roger was at the end of the portal, it started to emerge from the fog in the Swale River.

Clara looked around. "Are we there?" She asked, hugging her boyfriend close.

The Professor looked around and saw a small police box on the banks. "Yeah. We're there," he said with a smile. He steered the ship over to the banks of the river before descending down the steps.

Clara looked behind at the Jolly Roger. "Do you think it'll be safe there?" She asked.

The Professor thought for a moment then waved his hand, turning the ship invisible. "A second out of sync. No one will find it now..."

The Professor and Clara walked over to the TARDIS. Standing in front of the blue doors, the Professor clicked his fingers and the doors opened for the two if them. The two walked in and immediately, Mr Gold walked over to see them. "Did it work?" He asked. "Is Storybrooke in fact safe?"

The Professor nodded. "Yes. It is. Clara did well."

The Doctor looked up from the console. "Draft," he said.

Clara looked behind her, seeing that the doors were still open behind them. She rose her right hand and clicked her fingers, making the doors shut behind her.

The Professor smiled and kissed her forehead. "She's doing particularly well."

"That's because I have a wonderful teacher," she said. "Speaking of which, I don't have a job anymore..."

"Well, the Elementary School is looking for a new teacher," Mary Margaret quipped in.

"What happened to the old one?" Clara asked.

"She kinda joined the Sheriff station..."

"Well ...No offence. But I was hoping for more secondary school teaching. I'm more qualified in that area."

"Leave that to me, Ms Oswald," Regina said. "I think I know how to make room for a new teacher there..."

"Regina, you not..." Emma began.

"Oh, relax. I wasn't gonna kill anyone off. I was purely gonna use my powers as mayor"

The Professor smiled a loving smile at Clara. "Well then. I suppose I should let you embark of to Neverland. Belle?"

Belle nodded and kissed Mr Gold. "I will see you again," she said and turned to leave with the Professor.

But before they could leave, there was a loud clank and whirring above them and the TARDIS shook. The Doctor raced over to console and looked at the screen. "ALERT! TARDIS Interference Detected ," it read.

"What did you do?" David asked the Doctor.

"Whoa, whoa. We're taking off," the Doctor answered. "But the engines aren't going."

"So, what does that mean?" Emma asked.

"It's Pan," Mr Gold said. "He found out what we were gonna do..."

"No. I think I know who it is," the Doctor said, rushing to the doors. He opened them and reached to the phone cupboard. He opened it and dialed.

A few kilometres away, at the Tower of London, a young woman called Osgood was racing through the crowds, holding a ringing phone. She answered it. "Hello? Kate's Stewart's phone, Oh, hold on..." She raced over to a park bench where Kate Stewart was. She had just arrived back in London and was hoping for a day off. But she was the leader of UNIT and days off were quite unlikely. She had just finished talking to a few officers and was looking out over the Tower.

"Ma'am! Ma'am!" Osgood called out.

Kate looked up. "The ravens are looking a bit sluggish. Tell Malcolm they need new batteries."

Osgood handed her the phone. "It's him," she said. "Sorry. It's your personal phone. But I recognised the ringtone. It's him, isn't it?" She asked breathlessly.

Kate took the phone. Oh, why hadn't she taken it with her? "Inhaler," she told Osgood, before speaking into the phone. "Doctor. Hello. Our soldiers found the TARDIS in a field. We're having it brought in."

"No kidding!" The Doctor shouted into the phone as he raised the handset above him, closer to the helicopter blades.

"Where are you?" Kate asked, but hearing the helicopter answered her question. "Oh, my God," she said, standing up. "Oh, Doctor. I'm so sorry. We had no idea you were even in there."

Osgood looked up at the sky, where the helicopter and TARDIS were starting to emerge.

"Come on," Kate told her, as she told her soldiers to take the TARDIS to the National Gallery. But the sharp turn made the Doctor nearly fall out of the TARDIS.

The Professor and Clara went over to the doors, where they began to hold the Doctor steady.

"Doctor? Can you hear me?" Kate asked into the phone. "I don't think he can hear me."

The Doctor managed to grab the swinging phone and yelled into it. "Next time, would it kill you to knock?!"

"I'm having you taken directly to the scene. Doctor. Hello. Are you okay?"

"I'm just gonna put you on hold," the Doctor said, as he let go and flipped around so he was hanging down from the bottom of the TARDIS.

The Professor turned around and faced the others. "I think we have had a detour on our trip to Neverland..."
