A/N:

This was a very rushed chapter, so I apologize for any flaws or lack of substance. I was a bit pressed for time.

Even so, please enjoy. :)

OoOoOoO

When the first three Doctors were nearing the outskirts of Bethlehem, their camels suddenly started when a wheezing, whirring, grinding noise filled the air.

"Woah now! Steady. Steady my boy!" The First Doctor managed to calm his beast down as a TARDIS began to visibly materialize in front of them. The other two followed suit; the Third Doctor easily forcing his camel to relax, and the Second having a bit more difficulty with his stubborn transportation.

"What were you thinking?" The First Doctor shouted as a new man exited the fully-materialized Time Capsule. This was a shorter, stouter man with curly black hair and a soft, cheery face. His apparel was riddled with question marks, and he held an umbrella close to his chest. He was puffing in air, seemingly out of breath. "Someone in Bethlehem could see the TARDIS!"

The Seventh Doctor ignored his original, saying his apparently urgent news between breaths.

"I've just gotten out of a meeting with King Herod, and I am sure you know what the decision is."

"Of course we don't," the Second Doctor scoffed. "You're after us."

"Use that oversized head of yours," the Third Doctor said nonchalantly. "And put two and two together. With the evidence we have scene so far, the outcome is rather easy to guess."

"Hmm, yes, I see," the original Doctor muttered distantly. "Very disturbing. King Herod is a suspicious man. If he knows of the prophecy concerning the child to be born-"

"Which he does," the Seventh interjected.

"Then we would want to bring harm to the child, to secure his position as king."

"Ah!" the Second Doctor exclaimed, having pieced it together himself. "We will warn the parents!"

"Yes, I think that would be best. It would be wise for them to retreat to Egypt as soon as they can. Herod cannot reach them there," the First Doctor concluded.

"Then it's settled," the Seventh Doctor smiled cheekily. "I'd best be off then."

"But we will see you there, yes?" the Second Doctor asked. "At the conclusion?"

"Yes, I expect to be there. I might get a bit side-tracked on the way, but I'll make it."

"Don't be late!" The original warned his elder.

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm never late."

"Except for those countless times when you are," the Third Doctor retorted.

"Oh, hush now and get on with your business," the Seventh puffed, then went on his merry way before anyone could say anything else.

When the TARDIS was done dematerializing, the First Doctor once again led the way as they finished their journey.
