"It's been a day and we're no closer to a separation OR finding out what happened to that project." Akane said with a sigh as she and Nabiki were eating their lunch outside the café.

"I did some checking like The Doctor suggested." Nabiki said in between bites.

"And?"

"On the records, it looks like Global will lose money if this project screws up."

"So you think its sabotage?"

"Depends. Our next step is to find out who has to gain what. By the way, where's The Doctor?"

"He went with his daughter and Ace to help Henry with the mine that killed the man. Did you hear how they tried to separate him?" Nabiki nodded because her mouth was full. "It did sound like a good idea, a tank full of formula that cleanses the body to separate the two of them."

"I heard that's what they did when the town became infected with something." Nabiki then swallowed her food with the help of an energy drink called Kaptr. "What is it with Americans and bad spelling puns?"

"Search me; you're the one who studied on this country." Akane asked while sipping the same drink. "Good stuff though." The waitress then took their now empty plates as Nabiki got out her wallet.

"Oh, you don't need to pay." The waitress said. "The town's funded by both global and the government, bright side of being full of geniuses really."

"Oh, we didn't know thank you…?" Akane said not knowing the girl's name

"Oh, call me Zoe."

"The Auction"
By Digifan316


"What I don't understand is that we have more people that will lose if this project fails than there is to gain." Ace said while she, Jenny, The Doctor, and Carter were in Henry's garage while he went over the device with The Doctor.

"And you're saying somebody tampered with the circuits?" Henry asked while inspecting.

"What about the fact that he was the only one in there?" Carter asked the girls who were working on the mines.

"That's another thing; the human test was for later when we took precautions to make sure that it was safe from rubber suits to getting in there in the event something like this happened." Jenny said causing The Doctor to think even harder than he had just a couple seconds ago.

"Do any of you know this man?" The Doctor asked.

"It's Mark, he regulated water experiments, ways to reduce led, waste, all the other impurities that even filters like the ones you buy at the store miss." Ace said.

"But if you mean personally, we didn't know him from outside of work." Jenny said. "He was more focused on his filters and the water."

"So how did a guy who worked on water end up in a weapons testing field?" Carter asked just as Henry and the Doctor were done with their inspection.

"It seems these circuits were modified." Henry said pointing to the two circuits on the just taken apart machine.

"These two right here were altered to the point where it turned the mine into a mini electric fence as it were." The Doctor said agreeing with Henry.

"We were right, somebody supercharged the stunner." Ace said in a tone that was a mixture of anger and depression.

"What's worse is they altered the circuitry that tells friend from foe." Jenny said as she looked further. "You see right here? This component is supposed to be white, not blue."

"Replaced some components… Sharif, we're gonna need a list of those who were working on it." The Doctor said while having a look that Jenny and Ace knew all too well.

"What's on your mind Professor?" Ace asked.

"Well, other than how and why he died, what brought him into the room in the first place?" The Doctor said with his hand against his chin.

"Maybe he left something in there." Carter theorized.

"I'll help Jo go over the scene in a few minutes." Henry said.

"Just out of curiosity, why did it take a full day to get clearance?" Carter asked.

"Well, we had to deactivate all the mines and once that was done we had to find where we put them so that way, you, Jo, or anybody wouldn't wind up tripping them." Ace answered. "Rome wasn't built in a day."

"I should know, my Doctor half was there during the plans for the coliseum. They originally wanted a roof, can you believe it?" The Doctor said with a smile. Henry just looked at Jack in disbelief who just nodded.

"Was he--" The mechanic/fire marshal/everyman asked.

"Yeah, that teleporting telephone booth--"

"TARDIS." The Doctor, Ace, and Jenny said.

"Right, that thing is a time machine according to The Doctor." Carter said.

"And for the record it's supposed to be a police box." Ace said in defense of her long time friend. "Oh, Professor, don't forget you said--"

"Yes, yes, I know I know." The Doctor said while rolling his eyes, but not meaning what the gesture looked like.

"Said what?" Carter asked.

"He'd help out Global by being in the auction." Jenny said with a smile.

"In fact, I better go over there now to see if Café Diem needs help setting up." The Doctor said before politely bowing to everybody and leaving.

"Wait, you volunteering to help out an event?" Ace said in amazement. "It shocked me enough that you wanted to participate in the auction, but help out setting up? You usually want to be an observer Professor, no offense."

"None taken," The Doctor said with a smile. "And remember, half of me is The Doctor and half of me is a student named Ranma Saotome and since this is to help out the company a friend from one side works for, the other is happy to help." The Doctor then waved his hand in a polite gesture and left Carter and Henry just dumbfounded at what he said and Jenny and Ace just smiled, and Henry had noticed.

"You're taking this… well…" Henry said with a bit of a shock at their attitude.

"Oh, well, the merger is new but it comes with the territory with us." Ace said as Jenny nodded in agreement.


A few hours later, everything was set up, people were there in their best casual clothes, chatting it up like crazy, like it's done in all parties and The Doctor was in his usual attire, something that Ace and Jenny had noticed.

"Professor," Ace brought up first, "this is a party, why must you always dress as if you're in a fight tonight?"

"I'm quite comfortable in this and you'll soon find out my other half's life is a bit…" The Doctor started to say, but before I could finish the analogy, somebody beat him to it.

"…chaotic, wasn't that what you're going to say Doctor?" The man heard a female voice he knew all too well say. He turned around and saw Nabiki dressed in a black business suit with a skirt that ended above the knee, black stockings that accentuated one of her best features, and matching stilettos that helped the long legs achieve their form. He then saw Akane next to her in a white sundress that was a few inches above her ankles with white sandals with heels that are flat on the bottom but a couple of inches from the ground. The Doctor, for once in the life of his Time Lord half, was speechless.

"I think you two killed him." Jenny said with a laugh. The Doctor shook the cobwebs out of his head and looked at both of them with a big smile on his face.

"You two look stunning!" The Doctor said as he wrapped his arms around both women. Akane, though not as confused about various actions as she once was, was still fighting the urge to bash the man. Granted, the hands are not going south, but he's still got his hands on her. Nabiki meanwhile was doing something that most have never seen her do once in her life, blush.

"Uh… thank you Doctor…" Akane said sweat dropping and blushing at the sudden display of affection. 'Not being perverted… not being perverted…' She said to herself in a mental mantra.

"You know how to talk to a girl; I guess half of you isn't Ranma after all." Nabiki playfully joked while trying to hide her blush.

"Sounds like somebody has this auction all lined up." They heard a voice joked and saw Jack Carter was there dressed in uniform.

"Uh… well…" The Doctor said while rubbing the back of his head and looking up out of embarrassment as he let the women go. "Say, why are you in uniform?" The Doctor then asked to change the topic.

"Oh, Jo's the one who's going to introduce the participants, so I figured I'd be the one on duty." Carter said with a smile. His face turned serious for a moment before he brought up another subject. "Have you figured anything out yet about what happened?"

"No more than we had earlier." The Doctor said turning serious.

"I still can't believe our experiment could have done this…" Ace said in a depressing tone.

"Did you find any finger prints or anything?" Jenny asked.

"Other than the time of death being while you two were in Alison's office with me and The Doctor, no." Carter said, but then the lights went out. "Sounds like we'll have to talk about the job some other time." Just then, a spot light went up and there was Jo, dressed in a green one piece skirt that ended above the knees with a microphone in her hands.

"Welcome to the first ever Eureka Bachelor Auction!" Jo said with some joy to try to make the event sound more eventful. It worked as the whole room cheered at the start of an event that was made to benefit global. Various lights were moving around and the disco balls, a part of every party it seems, were spinning.

"You know, nobody told me who's the one that'll go fi--" The Doctor started to say, but was interrupted…

"Doctor, c'mon down!"

…by Jo. After seeing the look of surprise on the Tendos, the Doctor then turned to Jenny and Ace.

"What?" Jenny asked with an innocent look. Ace just kept looking all over the place.

"Oh, you two…" The Doctor said with a light hearted tone as Nabiki and Akane pulled him on to the stage.

"Now, what do I hear for this vacationing bachelor? He's here only for a while, but he's willing to help the town with your bid!" Jo said with excitement.

"50!" Was the first bid heard. It rose from there as The Doctor did more poses and even threw in a few martial arts moves until…

"200 for Ra--I mean The Doctor!" Was heard from Akane with some excitement.

"And where are you gonna get the money? 300!" Was heard from Nabiki.

"I'll borrow it from you! You borrowed my clothes all the time in high school, you owe me! 400!" Akane shot back.

"500 for The Doctor! You owe me for giving you the money for your date with Ryoga after you got out of your depression!"

"I FOUND OUT HE WAS P-CHAN! THAT DOESN'T COUNT!" Akane said as her temper finally got to her and the Ice Queen and it turned into a shouting match between two Tendo sisters.

"…can I back out?" The Doctor said with a sigh.

"No…" Jo said echoing the Doctor's sigh.

"Ladies! Ladies! Why not both of you make the same bid!" Ace interjected to which both women nodded and finally put up…

"750!"

"SOLD!" The Doctor smiled when Jo said that and jumped off the stage to his respective future dates.

"I gotta say I'm surprised you got that emotional Nabiki, no offense." The Doctor said out of curiosity.

"None taken Doctor, let's just say I did some growing up after Ranma left." Nabiki said with a bit of a smile.

"So, who gets to go out with you first?" Akane asked with the same smile on her face.

"Uh… well… um…" The Doctor said with hints of the same nervousness Ranma gets when he's around affectionate girls.

"Boy, this town's got something to talk about." Jo said on the stage with a bit of a laugh, then it hit Carter and The Doctor like a ton of bricks.

"THAT'S IT!" The Doctor said with an 'I got it' tone of voice.

"That's why somebody from the water department in Global was killed in a weapons testing area!" Carter said as he finally reached the same conclusion. "That's all we've been talking about and constraining on!"

"What are you talking about?" Akane asked out of concern.

"What if the murder wasn't vindictive?" The Doctor said, causing everybody else to come to the same conclusion both he and Carter did.

"A distraction?" Ace asked causing The Doctor to nod.

"But from what?" Jenny asked while thinking as hard as her dad.

"And by whom?" Nabiki said joining in.

"And why?" Akane wondered.

"I don't know…" The Doctor said with his hand on his chin. "Sharif, was there anything you were working on that might interfere with Global in anyway?"

"That's various cases that were even solved Doc." Carter said. "Maybe somebody in Global's doing something Alison won't approve of; I'll give her a call."

"Where is she?" Nabiki asked as Carter got out his cell phone.

"Working on something at Global, wouldn't say wh--"Carter couldn't finish as suddenly, the café and the town shook slightly, setting off car alarms and almost breaking windows.

"What was that!?" Nabiki asked, a bit shaken up.

"An Earthquake!?" Akane said sounding scarred.

"Impossible, Eureka's not built on a fault line." Carter said while looking around to see if there were any damages. "Besides, the last time this happened was when somebody messed with a mine and a heat ray and we shut it down."

"The last time the Earth shook like that I can recall was when the Doctor was recharging…" then it hits him, Jenny, Ace, Nabiki, and Akane like a ton of bricks.

"THE TARDIS!" They all said as they made a b-line for Global.

"Take Akane and Nabiki to Global and I'll meet you guys there!" The Doctor said as he started to roof hop his way to the company.

"Oh no, not this time!" Akane said as she started to do the same thing, surprising The Doctor.

"Since when… never mind, I'll ask later!" The Doctor said as the two made their way to global, shocking everybody on the ground save for Nabiki.

"C'mon! I'm not getting there by myself!" The former ice queen yelled as she snapped everybody back to normal.


"Shut it down, shut down the experiment, now!" Alison said as her efforts to activate the Doctor's machine were for naught as all it did was shake the town.

"You think anybody noticed?" Zane said as he got out from behind the control panel.

"We shook the town Zane, yes, somebody noticed." Alison said with a sigh. "We just have to undo this before--"

"Too late." She heard an angry voice said. She looked behind her and saw The Doctor not looking happy. "What gave you the right to mess with my machine?"

"Doctor, you can't keep time travel to yourself! We can solve great mysteries, we can--"

"Two words, Ray Bradbury." The Doctor sighed. "You can also change history and if the timeline doesn't alter, then you'll unleash--"

FWOOSH
FWOOSH
FWOOSH

The Doctor was interrupted by the sound of his TARDIS going off… except it wasn't disappearing or anything. In fact, just as soon as the others came in, they saw a SECOND TARDIS appear.

"What the…?" Akane said out of shock, speaking for everybody. The doors to the second TARDIS opened and out came a man with a crew cut hair style with big ears, a leather jacket, black pants, matching shirt and shoes who just looked around and saw the other TARDIS behind him.

"Ok… who messed with time?"

"Uh… who are you?" Carter asked with a bit of shock.

"Oh, forgive my manors, I'm The Doctor." The man said.

"WHAT!?" Almost everybody said, save for The Ranma-Doctor, who could only look in disbelief until finally he dead panned…

"What?"


NEXT TIME…

Ninth Doctor: You left the TARDIS in the hands of Global Dynamics!?
Ranma-Doctor: It's not like I told them 'Go nuts!'

SARAH: Will you be staying long Ms. Tendo?
Akane: No, we're just here to return Alison's notebook… hey, is that Fargo's voice?

(Akane and Nabiki are on the floor, out cold… and Ranma-Doctor's eyes are burning white)


Ok, some things about Eureka won't factor into the fic, seeing as I came up with the story before the final two of the eight episodes aired. So Henry is NOT Mayor and there's something else Eva found under there. Trust me; The Ninth Doctor isn't the only surprise.
