Chapter 3: Let Me Get This Straight
Jenny (TARDIS)
I'd been battling some Sontarans and Judoon when I spotted Martha, Donna and my Dad running towards me along with a really handsome man whom I had never met. Of course I was ecstatic that they had found me and I was going to have to explain how I was alive though I didn't really understand it myself. Needless to say I launched myself into my father's arms and proceed to escape the Judoon and Sontarans with them into Dad's ship, only to find myself surrounded by unfamiliar people and a man who looked a bit odd calling himself by my father's name.
"Hello Jenny…I'm the Doctor."
"No you're not, he is. You can't be the Doctor because the Doctor is my Dad and he is my Dad so therefore he is the Doctor." I looked away from the odd man to my Dad only to find him smiling sadly as though I was wrong, but I couldn't be, could I?
"Jenny, I am not your father, I'm a biological metacrisis, I'm him in human form prior to his death and regeneration."
"What's a regeneration?"
"It's a trick timelords have, to evade death, we can biologically repair our bodies of any damage but then our faces change unless we have something to send the excess energy into, like I did. I had my hand which was cut off within in the first 15 hours of my tenth regeneration so I was able to grow a new one. After I got shot by Dalek, very evil creatures who are capable of no emotion but hate and are my enemies, I repaired myself and sent the remaining energy into the hand. Which in turn eventually created John over there."
"Hello." The man who looked like my father waved after the odd man pointed to him.
"So does that mean you are my dad?"
"Yes and I can prove it…" he pulled out a stethoscope and I knew what he meant, if he were truly my father he would have two hearts, he offered the stethoscope to me. I took it and listened as he pressed the other end to one side of his chest and then the other, showing his two heartbeats.
"Ok, Hello Dad." I smiled at him and gave him a hug as he grinned and pulled me close.
"How exactly did you survive, considering I distinctly remember you dying." Donna, always the blunt one, asked well bluntly.
"I'm not really sure but I think the Source…"
"Terraforming sphere."
"Terraforming sphere brought me back to life." He looked shocked but his shock broke into a wide grin as he hastily began introducing me to everyone.
"All right, if you are to be travelling with us I should probably introduce you to everyone. Uh, first the Tylers. Jenny, this is Pete, Jackie and Tony Tyler, they don't actually belong in the dimension and we're really not sure how they got here but that ok because they are lovely people…yes even you Jackie. Now uh this is John Smith and his wife Rose. Rose was my companion before Martha who was before Donna and you know John is the metacrisis version of myself. This lovely woman is Sarah Jane Smith…she was my companion ages ago, back in my 3rd and 4th regerations and her son Luke and his dog K9. Oh and you know Martha, and this is her husband Mickey, and Donna you know of course and her grandfather Wilfred. Oh and here are my current companion Amy and Rory who are also my in-laws and their daughter…my wife River. Have I forgotten anyone?"
"Actually Doctor, you forgot me…Captain Jack Harkness." The attractive man held out his hand.
"Stop it…"
"I can't say hello to anyone can I?"
"Nope, I may look different but that doesn't mean I want you flirting with my daughter."
"Oh I don't mind Dad."
"It doesn't matter whether or not you mind, I'm your father so I mind. I'm meant to mind, aren't I?"
"Yes dear, but I think you may be smothering her. Sorry Jenny this version of him gets a little carried away very often so next time it happens just ignore him and it'll pass." River smiled, in a motherly way. I felt a bit odd by that, here was a woman, who had never met me but was married to my father and yet she was sort of treating me like a daughter anyway.
"Ok, thanks. I guess I'll need to get used to this Doctor and stop thinking that John is my father purely because he looks like Dad a while ago."
"Yes that was a very long while ago, a bit over 200 years, yes I know very sad that I still look this good after so long."
"Oh I preferred how you used to look…" Rose sort of trailed off glancing shyly at John.
"Well I didn't he was just a stick thing, you give him a hug you get a paper cut, now at least he has some meat on his bones though I don't fancy that chin much."
"What's wrong with my chin?"
"Nothing, nothing just saying I don't fancy it. And that hair, what's going on there? It's like a mop."
"Hey my hair is fine thank you."
"Actually while we're picking on the Doctor what is going on with your fashions sense?"
"Martha!"
"What, I'm just saying, tweed? Braces? A bow-tie really?"
"Hey bow-ties are cool."
"Ok whatever you say Doctor as long as you don't put that fez on again." Amy rolled her eyes.
"Hey fezzes are cool!"
"No they're not and that's why I won't let you get another one, fedoras on the other hand are incredibly cool. Actually I'm thinking of buying one, ooh that would be fun."
"Hey that's not fair how come you can wear a hat but I can't?"
"Because I'm the wife, everything I say goes."
"Yeah that's not sexist at all." Jack grinned.
"Well Jack it doesn't matter what relationship you're in you'll always be right." River flirtatiously winked and went to check some controls.

Rory Pond (TARDIS)
The Doctor and River were flirting again, it made my head ache to be honest. I mean here was a man at the age of roughly 1103 flirting with my daughter who was quite a bit younger. Plus you know that fact that she's my daughter and there's a guy, who sometimes gets on my nerves and more than once has had Amy risk her life for him, flirting with her.
My musings were interrupted by the beautiful Scottish Spitfire that is my wife.
"What are you pondering about Centurion?"
"Nothing just the Doctor and River flirting, don't you find it a bit weird."
"I suppose but I just try and not think of her as our daughter when they do that." Amy shrugged, leaning back against the console when River walked over pressing a few buttons to keep the TARDIS in calm flight.
"I suppose we should go back to trying to figure out why we're here shouldn't we."
"Yes well, us three may as well he's going to be impossible and continue to yell at Jack for a while so…to the library?" River smirked in the Doctor's direction.
"Wait there's a library?" The TARDIS constantly amazed me, there were just so many rooms.
"Yeah Rory it's in the same room as the swimming pool, funny thing is I learned that when I was seven." Amy laughed and took my hand dragging me towards the door with River following slowly ready to back away should we start flirting.
"Mum, Dad…what's that noise?"
"What noise?"
Tweet, tweet, tweet…
"That noise."
"I don't…"

Wilfred Mott (TARDIS)
The Doctor was going on about something sort of getting angry at Jack for flirting with his daughter, I could understand that I mean I have a daughter myself and know how little I hated Geoffrey for the first few years he dated Sylvia.
"Doctor…stop yelling at Jack for a second…can you hear that?"
"Hear what Donna?"
Tweet, tweet, tweet.
"What in Gallifrey…?"
