A/N: I wrote this chapter a couple of months after I'd finished part 6. The main reason was I just didn't know how to continue! I really wanted to write the bit where the Doc arrives and meets Jack, but I couldn't do it IM-style and I didn't want to write an actual fic about it (in part because this is an IM fic, but mainly because I was just lazy), so I really didn't know what to do.

Eventually, I settled for having the Doc and Jack talking about what happened after the Doc had already left, which... felt right within this story.

Also, I wanted to link this back to the canon. I'd already mentioned "The Other Doctor" in part 1, the next special was, of course, "Planet of the Dead", so this was my lame attempt to tie my fic and the canon together as well.

'THE' JACK has joined the conversation.

'THE' JACK: That wasn't very nice of you, Doc, to leave without saying goodbye.

TARDIS: I'm really, really sorry, Jack, but I was in a hurry.

'THE' JACK: Yeah. You're always in a hurry.

TARDIS: I said I was sorry!

'THE' JACK: And you're always sorry! That doesn't change that fact that you owe me one day about the town with me. You said the TARDIS wouldn't be able to travel through time in the next 48 hours!

TARDIS: Thing is I'm not traveling through time.

'THE' JACK: You're traveling through space?

TARDIS: Yup.

'THE' JACK: So where you're going? Skaro? The Medusa Cascade? That place near the Orion Peninsula where they sell space accelerators for half the price?

TARDIS: Nah, went there last week. They were having a sale!
TARDIS: Not that I had any money anyway, but they were even more willing to bargain then than they usually are.

'THE' JACK: Wait, a sale?! That only happens every hundred years! Why didn't you tell me, you greedy bastard? I've been saving money!

TARDIS: And what exactly do you want to buy? Are you thinking of installing turbo thrusters on Myfanwy?

'THE' JACK: OH, that would be so cool!!!!

TARDIS: Don't even think about it, Jack! Pterodactyls weren't designed for hyper speed!

'THE' JACK: Do I have to put on a "JOKE" sign everytime I say something funny?

TARDIS: With your sense of humor? That wouldn't be such a bad idea!

'THE' JACK: Ha. Ha. Ha.

TARDIS: =P

'THE' JACK: So where you're going, then?

TARDIS: London.

'THE' JACK: London?! Why the hell didn't you say so? We could have gone together!

TARDIS: Like I said, I was in a hurry.

'THE' JACK: What, and you couldn't wait another ten minutes?

TARDIS: Ten minutes? Try an hour! You were heading for the shower by the time I left.

'THE' JACK: Oh. Right. Yeah...

TARDIS: And when I heard Ianto say he was going to bring you a towel, I thought it was best if I wasn't around at all!

'THE' JACK: Yeah... That was smart of you to do that.

TARDIS: I thought so.

'THE' JACK: So how come you're talking to me right now, then? Aren't you supposed to be there in, like the blink of an eye?

TARDIS: Well, I could do that, but the TARDIS is still recovering, I just thought I'd go about the same speed as an ordinary airplane this time. You know, for a change, take my time, look at the scenery...

'THE' JACK: Wait, you mean there's a blue box flying above the streets of Cardiff right now?

TARDIS: Well, more like Slough at the moment.

'THE' JACK: Aren't you ever afraid that someone might see you?

TARDIS: Someone always sees me! But come on! A flying blue box? They must be insane!

'THE' JACK: You really love messing with people's minds, don't you?

TARDIS: It comes with the job.

'THE' JACK: Right. Did you at least get that Easter egg Ianto bought you?

TARDIS: I did, yes. Remember to thank him for me.

'THE' JACK: OOOOH, I will. =D

TARDIS: Ok... I probably shouldn't have said that.

'THE' JACK: Too late. =D

TARDIS: Right.
TARDIS: But you could have warned me I'd be arriving during Easter! I could have bought you guys something!

'THE' JACK: NAAH, we wanted it to be a surprise!

TARDIS: Well, I have to say I was surprised. I could have gone without the bunny suit, though, you went a bit too far with that one.

'THE' JACK: What? I looked cute! It even had a fluffy little tail!

TARDIS: It would look cute on a ten-year old kid, Jack, not a two hundred year-old former time agent!

'THE' JACK: Well, you always say I've got the mind of a ten year-old.

TARDIS: Yes, but you're not supposed to take it so literally!

'THE' JACK: Whatever, Doc. I liked the outfit!
'THE' JACK: Did you enjoy the egg hunt?

TARDIS: Well, it takes all the fun out of it when you put trackers on the eggs, doesn't it? Where's the excitement in that?

'THE' JACK: Well, Tosh used to do it all the time, we thought we should... honor her tradition.

TARDIS: I see.
TARDIS: I have to admit, though, it was a lot of fun watching you get the egg that was inside Myfanwy's nest.

'THE' JACK: Yes, I bet you enjoyed that, didn't you?

TARDIS: Very much. =D
TARDIS: But then again, I was the one who put it there.

'THE' JACK: Yeah, I thought it was you. Gwen would never go near her and Ianto knows better.
'THE' JACK: In hindsight, I probably should have lost the bunny suit before going in there…

TARDIS: Probably. But we'd have lost half the fun if you had.
TARDIS: I've got it on video, by the way!

'THE' JACK: Do I look good in it?

TARDIS: It's hard to see your face in it, to be honest, and Gwen was laughing so hard she couldn't really keep it still, so… no.

'THE' JACK: That's not so bad! At least other people won't be able to tell it's me.

TARDIS: No, they will. Your screams were loud enough for anyone to hear.

'THE' JACK: Oh, lovely.

TARDIS: OH! Gotta go now, Jack. I see London approaching fast in the horizon, time to deploy landing gears!

'THE' JACK: You haven't got any landing gears.

TARDIS: Metaphorical landing gears, Jack! Metaphorical landing gears. It means it's time to prepare for touchdown.

'THE' JACK: What are you expecting to find in London, anyway?

TARDIS: I've no idea, the readings aren't very clear. Something about a portal... or a wormhole... or something. I don't know. And to be honest, it would just spoil everything if I knew it beforehand, wouldn't it? Finding out is half the fun!

'THE' JACK: hehehe Right, you go on and have fun, then.
'THE' JACK: But wait, do you think it's safe to fly the TARDIS through a wormhole right now? What if you get stranded? You'll only be able to get it to fly through time in a day!

TARDIS: No worries, I'm parking my TARDIS once I get there. I'm taking the bus!

'THE' JACK: Wow, the Doctor taking the bus?!

TARDIS: I KNOW! Isn't it exciting? =D

'THE' JACK: hahaha yeah, yeah. Good luck to you, Doc!

TARDIS: Thanks, Jack. Happy Easter!

'THE' JACK: You too, Doc. =)

I'd always wondered why the Doc was taking the bus in "Planet of the Dead" instead of using his TARDIS. I guess this could be an explanation. ;)

I don't know when the next part will be ready... because I haven't actually started it yet. But, hopefully, it won't take too long.
