Old Enemy, New Friends

Author's Note: Chibis are living action figures and are based on some chibi Doctor art I saw. The chibi Tara picks up is a chibi of Jamie McCrimmon and the reason my TARDIS calls everyone "MY" is because, to her, anyone traveling in her is hers. :)

----------------------------------------

Adam's Doctor opened his eyes when he noticed that the IV was gone and touched the button on the bedrail, making the bed go up until he was sitting up. The door opened as Frankie came into the room and she had a tray in her hands. She jumped from seeing him sitting up as he smiled at her and she walked to the bed. Sitting the tray on the table, she moved the table closer then brushed the hair out of his eyes and placed the napkin on his chest. He watched as she started feeding him and he placed his hand on top of hers.

"You're Frankie, aren't you?" asked Adam's Doctor.

"Yes," said Frankie, moving his hand and went back to feeding him.

"Why are you here?"

"Mrs. Saxon hired me to take care of you."

"Ah, did she tell you what was wrong with me?"

"She said it was an accident."

"What kind of accident?"

"I think it was some sort of boating accident. She said she found you unconscious on the beach and you've been in a coma for a year."

"I've been here for a year?!"

"Well, yeah, that's how long I've been taking care of you," said Frankie, helping him drink some juice and wiped his mouth.

"Where is Mrs. Saxon?"

"I don't know."

"Frankie, would you do me a big favor?"

"What kind of favor?" asked Frankie and he wiggled his finger for her to come closer.

"Help me get out of here," whispered Adam's Doctor in her ear and she looked at him. Giving her sad puppy eyes, he blinked and stuck out his lower lip.

"I can't do that."

"Why not?" asked Adam's Doctor when she picked the tray up and walked to the door. "Frankie, please, you have to help me!"

"I can't!" said Frankie, leaving the room and Adam's Doctor looked at the door when he picked the water pitcher off the night table and screamed, tossing the pitcher at the wall.

"Did you say Lucy Saxon?" asked the Doctor, feeling Alan's urge to laugh.

"Hai," said Hoshi.

"As in the wife of Harry Saxon?" asked Jack.

"Hai."

"Wait, is there a Harry Saxon on this world?" asked Alan.

"Not on this one but on my Doctor's world," said Adam.

"Um, did he try to take over the world?" asked Jack. He didn't want to ask if there was a Captain Jack Harkness in Adam's Doctor's dimension and Adam noticed the question in his eyes.

"Yeah, he did and there is a Captain Jack on his world. He got caught with my Doctor and Martha."

"What happened to him after they defeated him?" asked Jack

"He went back to Torchwood. The last time I saw him, it was at his wedding to his Ianto," said Adam as Jack grinned and Adam's Rose came into the dining room.

"Adam, what is that?" asked Adam's Rose, pointing to Hoshi and Adam walked to her.

"This is Hoshi," said Adam, placing his arms around her.

"What is she?"

"She is a kitsune," said Alan as he explained what a kitsune was and Adam's Rose carefully walked closer. Hoshi blinked while Adam's Rose looked at her and nodded. Carefully, Adam's Rose stroked the fur on the bridge of Hoshi's nose and both of them laughed.

"We must go," said Hoshi as she got off the table and headed for the Doctor. Nodding, they headed for the TARDIS when the Doctor took hold of the door handles but the doors stayed shut and he frowned.

"Very funny, which one of you locked the doors?" said the Doctor.

"Don't look at me," Alan when the Doctor noticed that the TARDIS was shaking and placed his hand on the door.

"Come on, Old Girl, open the doors," whispered the Doctor, stroking the wood.

"What's wrong?" asked Adam as he walked to him and looked at the TARDIS.

'My Adam, I know why the doors are locked,' thought Adam's TARDIS inside his mind and he turned, looking toward the glass doors.

'Why?' thought Adam.

'She doesn't want to go.'

"She doesn't want to go?" whispered Adam and the Doctor looked at him.

"She doesn't?" asked the Doctor.

'No, she doesn't,' thought Adam's TARDIS inside the Doctor's mind.

"Why doesn't she want to go?"

"Beloved, I am sorry but the idea of facing him again, even in this dimension, frightens me," said the TARDIS and Alan walked closer, placing his hand on the wood.

"Come on, Girl, you know we won't let anything happen to you," said Alan, patting the wood.

'If it is no trouble, she can ride inside me,' thought Adam's TARDIS inside the Doctor's mind.

"Would you like to travel inside Adam's TARDIS?" asked the Doctor.

"Yes, I would like that," said the TARDIS.

"Is that all right with you?" asked the Doctor.

"Oh, yeah, that would be fine," said Adam as they walked to the glass doors and opened the doors.

"Just a tic, Adam, you know she only lets you pilot her," said Adam's Rose.

"Oh, yeah, that's right. I guess I'm coming with you then," said Adam.

"No, it's too dangerous! I'm not going to take the chance of you getting hurt or, worse, killed!" said the Doctor, holding his hands up.

"He has a point," said Alan.

"Look, do you think that this is the first time I got into a scrape?! I work for bloody Torchwood!" shouted Adam.

"I thought you were a writer."

"I am. The thing is I have faced my fair share of monsters and aliens over these last seven years. So has Rose."

"But you haven't faced anything like him!" said the Doctor.

"All the more reason to go!" said Adam as he headed out of the room and they looked at each other. Running after him, Alan ran in front of Adam and placed his hands on Adam's shoulders.

"What about Jamie and River?" asked Alan.

"What about them?"

"Don't you care how'd they feel if you just run off and get yourself killed?! Look, even though you and I are clones of the Doctor, I'm the one that's a full blooded Time Lord. If I get hurt, I can regenerate. YOU can't! Imagine Rose trying to deal with your death while raising Jamie and River all by herself. Ah, don't tell me she'll have Jackie and Pete! You're her soul mate! Her one true love and I don't want you to throw it all away because of this."

"But he's MY Doctor! Wouldn't you go after him if someone took your Doctor?!"

"In a heartbeat. Now, let us handle it, ok?" asked Alan, looking deeply into Adam's eyes and Adam blinked.

"My TARDIS wouldn't let me go anyway."

"Why not?"

"I forgot that she's programmed to prevent me from going to dangerous worlds and systems."

"She is?"

"Yep, he didn't trust me in the beginning and told her to only take us to peaceful worlds and systems. If there was any danger, we were to boot it back to her and leave. We did do that before the kids but I didn't always leave," said Adam with a sly grin and Alan laughed.

"How about now?" asked Alan.

"Nah, we didn't want the kids to get hurt so we go places where we'd just be a family and have fun."

"Ever been to Disneyworld?"

"Yep, even got that stupid Tikki Room song stuck in my head," said Adam, shaking his head.

"Yeah, I swear that song's deadly! Anyway, I swear we'll find your Doctor," said Alan, crossing his hearts.

"What about my TARDIS?"

"Well, seeing that she has our TARDIS inside her, we'll make sure she comes home in one piece."

"Ok, but she's still not going to let you pilot her."

"Brother can be very persuasive when he wants to be," said Alan with a wink and Adam laughed.

"Is everything all right out here?" asked the Doctor as the others walked closer and Adam's Rose walked to Adam.

"Yep, everything's fine. I won't go but there's the problem of her letting you pilot her," said Adam.

"Aw, I bet I can get her to listen to me," said the Doctor with a bad boy grin.

"That's what I told him," said Alan. Laughing, Adam led them down the path until they came to the TARDIS and Adam opened the door.

"My Other Doctor, your TARDIS is located inside my wardrobe," said Adam's TARDIS and he nodded. Adam opened the doors as they walked inside and the others looked around.

"Nice," said Jack, stroking one of the support columns and heard giggling in his head.

"That tickles!" said Adam's TARDIS and he patted the column. Adam walked to the console when he leaned against it and looked at the ceiling.

"Well, Girl, you behave for the Doctor, ok?" said Adam.

"You are not coming, My Adam?"

"You know I can't," said Adam as he explained what his Doctor did and felt Adam's TARDIS shaking in his mind.

"But this is an emergency!"

"I know but Alan promised that they'll make sure that they'll find the Doctor and bring you both home safe," said Adam and Alan crossed his hearts and sent calming thoughts to her.

"Restrictions negated."

"Right, well, we better get going," said the Doctor as they walked to the console and Donna was impressed with how neat and clean the console looked.

"My Adam, I just remembered that Jamie is sleeping on the couch in the living room and River is playing in the chibi garden."

"You let the kids play in here?" asked Donna.

"Yep," said Adam's Rose.

"What is a chibi garden?" asked Tara.

"Why don't you go show them and I'll go get Jamie," said Adam.

"I will wait here," said Hoshi, nodding, and they left the room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The door hissed open while they walked inside the room and their eyes went wide. A clear burnt orange sky was overhead while large fluffy pink and purple clouds floated by and the sounds of birdsong filled the air. They walked by the trees with silver leaves and animal shaped bushes while the long red grass waved in the breeze and Tara held the Doctor's hand. Suddenly something made a loud meeping sound as it ran to Donna and wrapped its arms and legs around her leg, hugging it tightly.

"Stand still! I'll get it!" shouted Alan, taking out his sonic screwdriver.

"No, it's all right, it won't hurt her!" said Adam's Rose while they looked down and blinked. Wrapped around Donna's leg was a doll. It was twelve inches tall, with wild dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, and was wearing white sneakers, a brown tie, a white shirt and a brown pinstripe suit.

"What is it?" asked Awinita.

"It's called a chibi."

"I don't care what it is. Get it off my leg!" said Donna, looking down at it. Meeping, it rubbed its head against her leg and Tara noticed who the chibi looked like.

"Daddy, it looks like…you!" whispered Tara as the Doctor knelt down and it looked at him.

"Hello," said the Doctor as the chibi let go of Donna's leg and hid behind it. "Oh, don't be scared, we're not going to hurt you."

The chibi blinked when it saw Jenny and ran to her, hugging her leg.

"Mummy, what are they doing in here?" asked River as she walked closer and held onto a chibi that looked like the other one but it was wearing maroon sneakers, jeans, a red tee shirt and glasses.

"I was just showing them your garden," said Adam's Rose as the chibi let go of Jenny's leg and started jumping up and down, making meeping noises as it pointed to Donna and Jenny. Carefully Jenny knelt down, picking the chibi up and held it to her chest. It started shaking as it buried its head in her chest and she stroked its hair.

"Why is it so upset?" asked Jenny.

"Think about it, Angel," said the Doctor and she looked at the chibi.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" said Jenny and rocked it, calming it down.

"Who's this suppose to be?" asked Awinita, pointing to the chibi Jenny was holding.

"That's Uncle," said River and Adam's Rose mouthed "the Doctor".

"And that is?" asked Mingxia, pointing to the other one.

"This is Daddy!" said River and the chibi of Adam waved at them.

"They are so cute!" said Tara.

"Do you want to come see the others?" asked River.

"There's more?!" asked Donna.

"Oh, yeah, they live that way!" said River as she led them down the path and stopped at the edge of a clearing.

"Blimey," whispered Alan as they looked at the little village made of doll houses and at the center was a large doll house that looked like the mansion. River and Jenny placed the chibis on the ground as the chibis ran to the others and made meeping noises, pointing to them. The chibis gathered as the Doctor knelt down and noticed that were chibis of Adam's Rose, Adam's Jackie, Adam's Tony, Adam's Pete, River and Jamie, all his lives and every companion he ever traveled with except for Donna, River Song and Jenny. There were also chibis of Adam's Sarah Jane, Adam's Luke, Adam's Maria, Adam's Rani and Adam's Clyde (Who Adam's Rose and Adam had met on a short trip to Adam's Doctor's universe.) and Adam's Jack and Torchwood. There were even tiny chibi versions of Adam 's K-9.

"Where did they come from?" asked Tara.

"Six years ago, this alien, named Chabi, landed on this world and he brought them with him. He said that he made others like them for his master, to use as weapons, but his master was overthrown and he was exiled," said Adam's Rose.

"How do you use a doll as a weapon?" asked Donna.

"Guess you never saw the Puppet Master movies, eh?" asked Alan.

"No, I haven't."

"They were about these living puppets that killed for their master. Nasty little buggers."

"Well, Chabi agreed to turn the dolls over to Torchwood but River saw them and wanted them. She promised to take care of them and they've been here ever since," said Adam's Rose and the Doctor gently picked the one that looked like Adam up.

"Why do they look like this?" asked the Doctor.

"Because I wanted them to," said River.

"Um, Daddy, look," said Tara as he looked at the nine chibis coming closer and blinked.

"Blimey," said the Doctor as the chibis stopped and the first one walked closer, holding onto a small cane. The chibi of the first Adam's Doctor slowly nodded and the Doctor nodded back. The chibi that looked like the second Adam's Doctor walked closer as it smiled and it had a little recorder in its hands.

"Why is it covered in fur?" asked Rain.

"That's his coat!" giggled River and the chibi of the Doctor nodded. The chibis of and Doctors walked closer but the chibi of the Doctor tripped over the long scarf it was wearing and the Doctor caught it. "He's always doing that!"

The chibis of the and Doctors walked closer and the chibis tipped their hats. The chibis of the and Doctors walked closer when the chibi of the Doctor saw Rose and winked at her. The chibi of the Doctor stood near a rock with its arms crossed as River gently nudged it to the Doctor and Alan giggled.

'Oh, Brother, what were you thinking when you chose that outfit?!' thought Alan and the Doctor growled.

"They're really cute," said Tara when they heard a loud meeping sound and she looked down at the chibi by her feet. It had brown hair and was wearing a white shirt, tan boots and a kilt and it had landed on its rear end after Tara nearly stepped on it. "Oh, I'm sorry!"

The chibi growled, shaking its tiny fist at her, and she smiled. Carefully, she picked it up as she titled her head then looked at River.

"Why is he wearing a skirt?" asked Tara and the chibi made low meeping sounds.

"He said that it's not a skirt. It's a kilt," said River.

"Oh," said Tara as the chibi looked at her and its lower lip stuck out as it frowned. She gently hugged it as it blushed and looked down at the ground.

"Well, this is nice but we have to go," said the Doctor and Tara handed the chibi to River.

"Are we going somewhere?" asked River.

"No, we're staying here while the Doctor borrows the TARDIS," said Adam's Rose.

"Why can't they use theirs?"

"She's very tired from the trip and your daddy said we could borrow yours," said Jack. He had been looking at the chibi of him when he saw that there was one of , , , , and but his heart hurt seeing there was one of and one of as well. He figured that, in this universe, they might be alive and made a note to ask Adam before they left.

"What about the chibis? They might get hurt," said River and the Doctor touched her hair.

"I promise that they'll be fine," said the Doctor with a wink and she nodded. Taking her hand, they left the room when Jenny looked down and sighed.

"Dad, hold up," said Jenny as she gently removed the chibi of Adam's Doctor from her leg and held it. She wasn't sure if it could feel her sending calming thoughts to it when she placed it back inside the room and the door closed. The Doctor placed his arm around her as she sighed and they walked down the hallway, heading for the control room.
