Eleven opened his eyes. He looked around. Where was he? Definitely not in the TARDIS anymore. He shot straight up. The TARDIS! Rory! Amy! He looked frantically around, and his hurried heartbeats slowed slightly when he saw the couple, on the floor a few feet away.

He stood up and dusted off his shirt. He walked over to Amy and shook her shoulder. "Amy," he said softly, trying not to startle her. "Amy." She blinking her eyes open.

"Where are we?" she asked. She turned and shook Rory, promptly waking him up with few complaints.

The Doctor shrugged. "Who knows. But we aren't the only ones here." He pointed to the people scattered about the room, still unconsious. Before he could examine them any closer, he was stopped in his tracks.

"Hello, sweetie."

He spun around on his heel. He grinned. "Hello, River." She returned his smile, her scattered curls bouncing as she walked over. "How are you?"

She shrugged. "Fine. I was in my cell, being a good girl for once, and suddenly I was here. Any clue?"

Eleven shook his head. "No. But I was just going to see who these others are. I-"

A shuffling on the opposite side of the room cut him off. A woman lifted her head, long red hair tumbling down her shoulders.

"Oh, no," the Doctor muttered.

"What?" Amy asked, hearing him.

He sighed. "Wait for it..."

The redhead looked around, trying to figure out where she was. She looked up and saw the group standing there. Her jaw was set and her eyes flared as she stomped over.

"Where the bloody hell am I?" she asked.

"Well-" Rory began, but she didn't let him continue.

"I demand to know, right now! And where's the Doctor? And Martha? What did you do with them. I swear, I am not afraid to-"

The Eleventh Doctor couldn't hold it in anymore. He ran forward and wrapped his arms around her, holding her in a tight hug. She stopped mid-sentence, shocked at the sudden action. He pulled away and smiled. "Never thought I'd see the day when Donna Noble would be struck speechless."

This got her going again. "How do you know my name?" she asked. She didn't seem as forceful as before, but still pretty demanding.

Eleven thought for a minute, trying to figure out how to explain it. "Well, I'm... I'm... I'm him," he finally concluding, pointing to another figure that was waking up. In fact, all of the others seemed to be rousing. Donna turned to who he had pointed to, and her eyes widened.

"What?!" The man he had pointed to, his previous regeneration, shook out his hair and looked up. Eleven spotted the generation before that helping someone up. Someone he recognized as Jack.

"Where are we?" came a loud voice he knew instantly. He turned and saw Jackie Tyler, staring at him with her hands on her hips.

"That's exactly what I wanted to know!" Donna said. The Eleventh and Tenth Doctors both winced. If they got Donna and Jackie going at the same time, they'd never shut up.

"Oh, they don't know," came a voice from the shadows in a corner. A figure stepped out, revealing itself to be a young woman, maybe in her early twenties or so. She had short, dark hair and striking green eyes. No one in the room knew her.

Martha stepped forward. "Who are you?"

The woman shook her head. "That isn't important. What is important is why you are here." Everyone listened intentively. She continued, "I have brought you all so that you may go through and explore the truth about what has happened and, for some, what will happen. Perhaps some things may be changed, some stories given a happy ending. Or, at the end, you can continue as if nothing happened. Your choice, which will be made at the very end."

"That's impossible," Nine said from his place in the back. Ten felt his heart stop when he saw who was with him: Rose, back when she was nineteen and before she knew him.

The woman shrugged. "Be that as it may, it is happening. Now, the show will be played on that screen," she said, pointing to the large theater-like screen on one wall. "The kitchen is through there, bathroom there, and you'll each have a bedroom down that hallway there. Any questions?" They were all silent. "Good. Toodles!" And she disappeared.

"Well then," said Eleven with a smile. "How about some introductions? We'll start with the beginning." He pointed to the companions who were near Nine.

The Ninth Doctor sighed and spoke, "I'm the Doctor, these are my companions, Rose, Jack, and Mickey." He pointed to each one in turn. They all heard a throat clear. "Oh, and that's Jackie."

Ten stepped forward with a smile. "Hello, I am also the Doctor, this is Donna and Martha," he said cheerily. The two women waved as he introduced them.

Eleven sighed. It was his turn. "And finally, I am the Doctor as well. This is Amy, Rory, and River." His companions all gave a small smile as they were mentioned.

"Now," said River with a grin. "How about we start?"
