Part Seven

Two hours later, Lisa and the two Doctors were ready to leave. Fluffy, of course, had no sense of adventure and was staying home. They didn't see her at all after they had changed. Lisa always kept extra sets of the Doctor's regular clothing in the closets and dressers in the rooms she let them use.

They had gone outside and were looking at the two TARDISes. Lisa asked, "Are we going to have to go separately?"

The two Doctors looked at each other, then Doctor Eight shook his head. "No. Temporal fission, remember? We'll merge the TARDISes."

It took three tries, but eventually Doctor Five got his TARDIS to materialize into Doctor Eight's. Doctor Eight and Lisa were waiting inside.

The moment Doctor Five exited, he looked about the surroundings. "Have you been redecorating?" he asked.

Lisa giggled. This Doctor was used to the plain white console room, not the huge one with furniture and Gothic redwood paneling, with new switches and new scanner. She said, vaguely, "Actually, yes." She didn't want to give away too much.

"It's bigger than my console room!"

Doctor Eight nodded. "Would you give me a hand setting the coordinates?"

Lisa leaned against one of the iron support columns, watching her two Doctors work the controls. She was going to hate saying goodbye to the Fifth Doctor. He had always been her favorite – or her first favorite, as the Eighth Doctor was her second favorite – although it was bad form to say who your favorite Doctor was.

In minutes they were on their way. Doctor Five didn't know how long it would take to get there, because he was unconscious on the journey to Alnilam.

Lisa was snacking on jelly babies when the time rotor ceased its movements. They had landed. Whether or not it was the planet they were aiming for…well, that was another matter.

Doctor Eight activated the scanner. The TARDIS seemed to have landed within some caves. A nod from Doctor Five told them that they were, indeed, where they should be.

"The caves where I was shot are right around there," he said, pointing to a tunnel on the scanner. "We should be coming around there in a few minutes."

"All right." Lisa said. "Let's go."

Lisa and the two Doctor left the TARDIS. On their way out, Lisa made all three of them, and the TARDIS, invisible so they wouldn't be noticed. She heard footsteps and voices coming around the corner, so she pulled the two Time Lords into an alcove to be safe.

They watched as four people came around the corner. Two of them were Doctor Five and Lisa of this time, and the other two were Tegan Jovanka, an Australian air stewardess who had accidentally walked into the TARDIS on a roadway on Earth, and Turlough, who had been under the influence of the Black Guardian who wanted him to kill the Doctor.
