Chapter 10: Plans

"I love it when a plan comes together." - Hannibal Smith (The A-Team Series)

Rose's mind was burning as time swirls around her. Concentrating on the power of the Bad Wolf she's able to deliver her message to the Time Lords. "Look upon Kolankiewicz...buried deep within the Noctis Labyrinthus. It's stranded, alone...so alone...but still it sings beneath an eternity of time." Slowly she starts to let the power recede from her. A last warning flashes thru her mind "Timing must be perfect Time Lords." she says softly as her voice fades away into nothingness. The golden fire within her eyes is put out, as the Bad Wolf is once again restrained deep within her consciousness. Once again her eyes shine molten amber, for just a moment before they flutter shut. Slowly her body collapses in exhaustion, she can feel the strong arms of her Doctor encircle her and sweep her up into his arms, and then she knows no more as darkness claims her.

"What was that" the brown eyed Doctor asks in shock placing a hand on Rose's cheek.

"That was me being persuaded into helping you." the blue eyed Doctor says holding Rose more possessively to him, before disappearing into the depths of the TARDIS.

"Will she be alright?" the Doctor asks as he follows the leather clad back of his counterpart.

"The power of the Bad Wolf drains her energy, but she'll be alright." the blue eyed Doctor states as he hurry's toward the med-bay. "She's just fainted from the mental exertion." entering the medical bay he gently lays Rose down on an exam table. Looking over at the other Doctor who had followed him "She slept for almost a week after a visit to BoJic." he informs the other Time Lord even as he begins a med-scan to check Rose's vitals.

The Doctor raised a dark eyebrow, his dark eyes silently questioning.

Blue eyes' twinkling the Doctor just says "Let's just say it wasn't a pleasant stay."

"Natives try to eat you?"

"Been there before have you!"

"Doctor?" Rose whispers as her eyes struggle to open.

"Right here Rose." both Doctors answer immediately.

Finally Rose opens her eyes and looks up at the very different Doctors leaning over her with matching expressions of worry. "If only the NHS, had such dedicated Doctors." she says weakly struggling to sit up.

The blue eyed Doctor snorted in amusement even as he helps Rose to sit up "You alright?"

"Yeah...never better." Rose answers swinging her legs over the side of the bed.

"Careful..." admonishes the brown eyed Doctor.

Rose waves off his concern even as she looks up into her Doctors captivating azure eyes "Give me the Spock. What's a SIDRAT?"

"It's a dimensionally transcendent time machine, SIDRAT stands for Space and Inter-Dimensional Robot All-purpose Transporter. It's able to safely cross into parallel universes without destroying either world." the Doctor answers.

"But they were all supposedly destroyed by the War Lords at the beginning of the Time War, or so I thought." the brown eyed Doctor states as he looks over at his counterpart. "The High Council ordered them destroyed so they could not be used against us."

The blue eyed Doctor nods his head in agreement "Nothing is impossible though, just look at us. Time Lords never existed in any other dimensions, sure we could hop from one dimension to the next, but there was never a parallel world to Gallifrey. Yet here we are, two Doctors from different dimensions together." The Doctor shakes his head as he starts to pace back and forth "But the moment Gallifrey was destroyed, it must have altered my reality since I..." he looks over at the brown eyed Doctor "well I was the last Time Lord. I mean one Time Lord no longer protected by the power of Gallifrey is more susceptible to time with all its twists and turns. So its probable there could be hundreds if not thousands of alternate Doctors out there, all me, but all slightly different from me."

"Timey wimey." the brown eyed Doctor says with a cocky grin.

The blue eyed Doctor opens his mouth to agree, but Rose cut him off "Doctors! Back to the technical stuff please!" she requests.

"Right then... if a SIDRAT exists we can use it to reclaim my Rose and get us back to our own dimension safely." the brown eyed Doctor explains.

"Kolankiewicz?" Rose asks.

The blue eyed Doctor answered her this time "It's in the Etilicos Galaxy, a hundred million light years away from Earth. It's been a barren planet for over hundred thousand years. I don't know how a SIDRAT even ended up way out there."

"And what's the Noctis Labyrinthus?"

"It's rumored to be a labyrinth of eternal night, enclosed in darkness for all time."

"Alright then, let's do it. Let's find the SIDRAT, get the other Rose, and send you home to the right dimension! Yeah?" Rose exclaims in excitement.

"Uhhh Rose... It might not be that easy." the brown eyed Doctor informs her hesitantly.

Rose broke into a cheeky grin "Of course not! Nothing is ever easy with you Time Lords, I'm sure I'll be running for my life before this is over!"

"Oi! We don't always run for our lives!" the blue eyed Doctor rebukes.

"Only nine times out of every ten planets we land on!" Rose shoots back at him, before leaning up to kiss his cheek "But I love it, as long as I have your hand to hold while we're running."

The Doctors blue eyes sparkle as he grabs her chin and pulls her in for a much more passionate snog.

The trench coat wearing Doctor clears his throat in an attempt to remind them that he's still there before they get any more passionate with their roaming hands on each other.

Pulling away from Rose the blue eyed Doctor beams over at his brown eyed counterpart "Right'O, I'll just go set the coordinates for Kolankiewicz, and we'll be on our way." He turns and starts to head back to the control room "I love it when a plan comes together!"

"Doctor?" Rose calls his name. He spins back around to look at her, and she raises an eyebrow at him.

"What?'

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

The Doctors blue eyes go wide in understanding "I didn't forget Rose, I swear! Might have slipped my mind though, just for a moment!"

"You're so full of it!"

"Sort of, yeah! But you love me anyway!" The Doctor replies with a manic grin on his chiseled face "Think their back yet?"

Rose glances down at her watch "Ummmm, probably not yet. But we are not leaving until we tell them what's going on."

"I know" he agrees as he turns around walking out of the med-bay.

The brown eyed Doctor watches the retreating leather jacket for a moment before turning to Rose "What was that about?"

Rose smiled at him as she moved to follow her Doctor "We've got to see me Mum, before swanning off."

"Jackie? Oh joy!" the brown eyed Doctor moans as he rubs his cheek in memory of her slaps "Hey has Jackie ever slapped you in this world?" he shouts out to his blue eyed counterpart at the other end of the corridor.

The northern voice calls back cheerfully "Yep, a couple of times actually!"

A/N: A SIDRAT is an actual thing from the Who universe, it appeared in The War Games by Malcolm Hulke. But never having read this novel I'm not sure exactly what it looks like, how it works, or if it does travel between dimensions, so anything I say about it is just my imagination running wild. I got my info on it from Fun fact though SIDRAT is TARDIS spelled backwards, did anybody notice that?

Anywho leave me a review and I won't have to send the Doctor after you! Cheers!
