Another pretty short chapter. I was going to do the whole episode in one chapter but I changed my mind.

If there are any major mistakes I appologise. My laptop blew up so I've been writing on my phone and that has auto-correct. So it might have just corrected random words or taken/added capital letters. If it's bad tell me and I'll get it fixed. :)

Just to make things clear! Alex is known as Alexandra like the Doctor is known as the Doctor. We don't know their real Time Lord/Lady names. The Doctor calls Alex, Ali or Alexandra when she's in trouble (which is more often than not). Jack calls her Lex, or sometimes Lexi. Owen (Harper) will call her Lex or Lexi and everybody else will call her Alex or.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN DOCTOR WHO, TORCHWOOD OR THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES WHICH WILL ALL APPEAR IN THIS STORY!


Alex changed a couple of settings on the console as The Doctor climbed up a step ladder, fiddling with something on the wall.

They were all working in silence as someone knocked at the door.

"Can you get the door please, Jack?" Alex asked as she absently typed in some settings and pressed enter.

"Who are you?" Someone outside the door asked.

"Captain Jack Harkness and you must be Mickey," Jack said stepping aside as Mickey walked in. He nodded in greeting to Alex then went to hug Rose handing her a British passport.

"Here comes trouble. How you doing Rickey boy?" The Doctor asked from half way up a ladder.

"It's Mickey!" He protested. Making both Rose and Alex roll their eyes.

"Don't listen to him, he's winding you up," Rose said. Shooting the doctor with an annoyed look which he just grinned back to.

"I can go anywhere now," Rose said waving the passport at the Doctor. Who rolled his eyes.

"I told you. You don't need a passport," he said.

"It's all very well going to platform one and the glass pyramid of sanclune. But what happens if we get stuck in Brazil? I might need it," She said. "I am prepared for all occasions!" Smirking as she spoke.

"Sounds like your staying then," Mickey said glumly. The smirk fell from Rose's face and an awkward pause filled the room.

Mickey realising the answer changed the subject. "So what are you doing in Cardiff?" He asked. A little too cheery. "And who the hell is jumping Jack flash? I mean I don't mind you hanging out with big ears up there-"

"Oi!" The doctor protested.

"Look in the mirror- but this guy... I dunno he seems kind of..." He didn't seem to have a word so Jack smirked.

"Handsome?" He supplied a grin on his face that spelt mischief.

"More like cheesy," Mickey said.

"21st century slang, is cheesy good or bad?" Jack asked making Alex snort attaching a couple of cables laying with her head under the console.

"It's bad," Mickey half snapped.

"But bad means good. Isn't that right?" Jack said grinning triumphantly.

"You saying I'm not handsome?" The Doctor said jumping off the step ladder and coming down the steps.

"No comment!" Ali said grinning up at her dad as she sat crossed legged on the floor until Jack offered his hand and helped her up.

"We just stopped off. We need to re fuel." Rose started to explained. "The thing is, Cardiff's got this rift running right through the middle of the city. Invisible but an earthquake fault between different dimensions,"

"The rift was his healed back in 1869," The doctor said.

"By a girl named Gwyneth. Because all these creatures called the Gath because they were using the rift as a gateway but she saved the world and closed it." Alex said quickly and almost proudly.

"But closing a rift always leaves a scar. That scar generates energy. Useless to the human race..." Jack half shrugged.

"But perfect for the TARDIS. I just park it here foe a couple of days. Right on top of the scar and..." The Doctor continued.

"Open up the engines. Soak up the radiation..." Jack said excitedly.

"Like filling her up with petrol and off we go! Whoo!" Alex said brightly.

"Into time!" Jack said high fiving the Doctor as Rose high fives Alex.

"And space!" The four finished. Jack high fiving Alex and Rose the Doctor. Laughing they all turned back to Mickey who looked lost.

"Oh god. You seen your selves? Think your so clever don't you?"

"Yeah," The Doctor said.

"Yep," Ali said with a bright grin.

"Yes," Rose nodded.

"Oh yep!" Jack finished.

The Doctor lead them out of the doors gently shutting them as they left.

"Should take another 24 hours. Meaning we've got time to kill!" Alex said leaning against the side of the blue box.

"That old lady's staring," Mickey said. Pointing past the TARDIS at somebody.

"Probably wondering what five people were doing together in a police box," Jack said, smirking at the thoughts that came to his head.

Alex slapped his arm. "Mind out of the gutter!" she said rolling her eyes.

"Wait the TARDIS. you can't just leave it. Doesn't it get noticed?" Mickey asked as they made to walk across the bay.

"She not it. And no." Alex correctly glaring slightly at Mickey.

"Yeah, what's with the police box. Why does she look like that?" Jack asked patting the side.

"It's a cloaking devise," Rose said.

The Doctor and Alex then explained all about the chameleon circuit and how they landed in the 60's and broke the circuit. Then the Doctor explained to Mickey about what police box's were used for in the 50's and 60's.

"Why don't you just fix the circuit?" Jack asked. Knowing he could do it easily with a sonic.

"I like it. Don't you?" The Doctor asked.

"I love it!" Rose and Alex chorused. Both stroking the box affectionately.

"But there's no police boxes anymore so doesn't she get noticed?" Mickey asked.

"Mickey. Let me tell you something about the human race. You put a mysterious blue box slap bang in the middle of town and what do ya do?" Alex asked putting a hand on his shoulder stepping away from the TARDIS as Jack was inspecting the outside. "You walk past it. Now you lot stop ya complaining and lets go explore!" She said grabbing Jacks hand pulling him off.

"Don't run off!" The Doctor shouted after them.

"I'm not a child dad!" she shouted back.

"What's the plan?" Rose asked linking arms with the Doctor and Mickey.

"Dunno. Cardiff. Early 21st century winds coming from the east. Safest place in the world!" The Doctor said brightly.

-oOo-

They sat in a pier cafe with Jack telling a crazy story. They all laughed loudly getting a couple of odd stares.

The Doctor suddenly stood up picking up a news paper from a nearby table. Read the article on the front page then threw it down on they're table.

"And there was me having such a nice day!" he said sorrowfully. They looked down at the table and in large print.

NEW MAYOR OF CARDIFF!

Above the text was a large picture that the Doctor, Alex, Rose and Mickey all knew.

"Who is she?" Jack asked scanning through the article.

"Trouble," The Doctor replied darkly.

"Slitheen," Alex hissed.

"I thought I blew them all up?" Mickey half asked.

"One must have got out." Alex said.

"What do we do?" Mickey asked.

"Well she's mayor now..." Alex trailed off Rose had the same thought.

"As mayor isn't she entitled to talk to people with concerns or something?" Rose asked.

"Oh yes!" The Doctor said a big grin on his face.

20 minutes later...

The quintet jogged up the front steps to the mayors office.

"According to recent data base. She's the last Slitheen who were a criminal family from raxacoricofallapatorius. There creatures in a human flesh. They kill someone and use there skin as a mask." Jack said looking at the small handheld computer in his hand. "I suggest we use battle plan 56 67. We each cover an exit. Doctor, you go face to face covering exit one. I'll take

exit two. Lex you and Rose take exit three. Mickey you cover exit four." Jack said as if he was addressing the military.

"Excuse me? Who's in charge here?" The Doctor asked. Jack stood straight and rolled on the balls of his feet.

"Sorry. Awaiting orders, sir," he said.

"The plan. Exactly what he said. That's a good plan, I like it. Anything else?" the Doctor asked.

"At arms," Jack smirked. They all pulled out a mobile syncing there speed dials. Though Jack and Alex's phones from the near future, where as Roses and Mickey both had 2005 models.

"Right then. Lets go!" The Doctor said. They all disappeared in different directions.

-oOo-

Rose and Alex stood in front of a wooden fire exit.

"Its linked to the alarm system. We open this the whole building will know." Rose said looking at the wires running from the door to the fire alarm.

"We'll just have to deactivate this door then. Won't we," Alex said with a grin. Pulling her sonic device out of her jacket pocket aiming it at the fire alarm, she pressed the button deactivating it in a shower of sparks.

Alex looked up and down checking to see if anyone saw that as both their mobiles rang.

"Dad?" Alex asked knowing all five of them were connected.

"She outside heading north," The Doctor said quickly.

"On our way," Alex said.

"On it," Rose said.

"Copy that!" Jacks voice said.

Shoving there phones away Rose and Alex exchanged grins and ran...
