Mostly new chapter! The story gets different from here on out, though elements of the original have been saved. I thought that while the men are locked up, they should spend some time working out their differences.

Please do not sue. I don't own Doctor Who.

CHAPTER 4

Ten awoke to find himself in a small prison cell. The lights were dim, and his eyes had trouble adjusting to the darkness. He was aware that his hands and feet were bound together and he appeared to be leaning against something solid. Or to be more correct, he was leaning against some one: Tentoo was regaining consciousness and was just about as pleased as his time lord twin to be bound to him. Continuing their unspoken feud over Rose, they both began to complain. They'd rather be bound to anyone else!

"Oh stop your grousing you two!" Nine yelled at them from across the cell. "Look at who I'm bound to. Mickey the Idiot!"

"Oi! Stop it with the Idiot comments you stupid alien! It's not like any of us are happy with this situation." Mickey was insulted.

Eleven just laughed. "Well. Serves you younger versions of me right. You have been abusive to your, uh, partner there long enough. This could be a great learning opportunity for all for of you. Mickey's no longer an idiot. In fact, he's become quite a lot of help over the years."

"Gee, thanks boss!" Mickey cheered.

"You're welcome." Eleven continued. "And in regards to Tentoo. Well Ten, he's not really the one you're mad at, is he? And Tentoo, you've already won this conflict. You have the girl. So knock it off!" Eleven couldn't really hide his disdain for the Rose situation, either, but he knew that what was done was done, and there was no sense in arguing about it. Rose seemed happy, and that's all that really mattered, right?

Ten looked down, red faced and ashamed. Eleven, for his part, was attached to Rory and was quite alright with that partnering. The only one without a "partner" was Jack who couldn't help but wonder at how it was symbolic of how his life was turning out.

"So, uh, Doctor, where are we, and more importantly, where are the girls?" Rory queried. Of course, he was more worried about his wife and daughter than the others (though he was perfectly aware that they were strong women and could take care of themselves, River most especially), but he was concerned for the safety of all.

"How am I bloody supposed to know since its obvious that I'm from the earliest time period?!" Nine yelled.

"You" Rory sighed "have a serious attitude problem. Has anyone ever told you that?"

"Yes." Nine whispered. "Rose."

"Let's not go down that rabbit trail, ok Doc?" Jack responded, eyeing the Ten/Tentoo pair closely, who were both pouting, despite insistence on both their parts that time lords don't pout. "Besides, I think Rory was asking the Doctor in general, right?"

Rory nodded, then realized that he probably couldn't be seen either because of the dim lighting or because half the room had their backs to him. "Basically, yeah." Rory responded.

"Well, we appear to be in a cell." Eleven remarked.

"Thanks Captain Obvious!" Mickey retorted. "Anything, I don't know, a little more helpful?"

Ten and Tentoo simultaneously leaned over to the side (luckily it was the same side so that they didn't work against each other) and licked the floor of the cell. It appeared that their minds were still in sync somewhat even after spending time apart. Rory was repulsed. Nine pretended to ignore the licking bit, still convinced that he was going to regenerate into morons. Eleven, Mickey, and Jack just sighed. They'd seen it before.

"Really. How can Rose stand to kiss you, Tentoo, considering all the places that tongue has been?" Mickey snorted. Ten looked smug. How indeed? Then he realized that if Rose didn't want to kiss Tentoo for the licking, then he was just as guilty. Tentoo just glared at Mickey, the Oncoming Storm brewing in his gaze.

Ten cleared his throat. "Well, it appears that we are in the twenty fifth century, but we are not on Earth. But where we are exactly, I cannot tell."

Not to be outdone, Tentoo added "but we appear to be in grave danger, because the floor tastes like Dalekanium."

"DALEKANIUM!" Everyone shrieked.

Their worst fears were confirmed when a shadow of a salt shaker with an eye stalk and an egg beater and plunger appeared around the corner of the wall outside their cell.

"IDENTITY CONFIRMED! IT IS THE DOCTOR! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

Eventually, the screaming died down, and the women took inventory of who was left. There was Donna, Martha, Amy, River, Clara, and Rose. That was it. No Doctor of any number, and no human male either for that matter. The mist that had descended upon the jungle was dissipating, and visibility was higher than it had been all day.

"So, here we are. Another adventure, and Rory is dead again. How many times is he going to widow me?" Amy wailed.

"Mum, please don't do anything stupid like you did when the angel took him." River worried.

"Hey, I only did that because he was sent back in time and I didn't want him to be lonely!" Amy replied.

"What about all the other times?!" River demanded.

"Well... I..."Amy stammered.

Martha watched this exchange, dumbfounded. Amy had seemed so strong. Apparently she was only strong when Rory was around. For her part, Martha was worried about Mickey and the others, and even surmised that she might have just been widowed herself. But she wasn't giving up. That's not what Mickey would have wanted.

Rose just sat in the grass, apart from the others, lost in thought, pulling up pieces of grass as she did so. What a turbulent ride it had been for her over the last 48 hours. When she awoke just a couple of days before, she was in a parallel world and happily married to the only man in that universe that she could ever love. Then she suddenly found herself on the TARDIS and discovered that all three of her loves were present, plus a fourth face of him that she hadn't even met yet. Now, she'd lost them all! What a mess!

Donna observed everyone moping and decided that someone should take the lead in their motley group, and it might as well be her! She looked around and noticed that the TARDIS that was deposited next to the group. "Hey, River!" she said. "Any chance you can get the old girl flying?"

River agreed that she probably could. Amy proudly bragged that her daughter could fly the TARDIS better than the Doctor!

They approached the TARDIS nervously. Nine had said that she was possessed. The TARDIS could be a death trap for them all. But she was still familiar and less scary than that horrible jungle. Besides, she might be the only way to find the men. When they entered, she was lit up like nothing had ever happened, and she was humming. River approached the console cautiously, stroking her gently. "She's as frightened as we are, girls" River remarked. "I don't think that we have to worry about any more trouble from her."

Following River's instructions, the ladies managed to cloak the TARDIS and get her into flight. Donna, who had still retained part of her timelord mind, used the long range scanners to search for double heart life signs. She found three and breathed a sigh of relief. They seemed to be crammed together in a tiny room, along with four single hearts. "I found them! They're all alive!" she shouted.

But they were not the only life signs in the vicinity. The scanner picked up hundreds more. Donna shuddered. "They're not alone."

"What is it?" Rose asked.

Before Donna could answer, a disembodied voice rang out through the TARDIS and answered for her.

"THE TARDIS HAS BEEN LOCATED! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

"River! Get us out of here!" Amy shrieked.
