"Maybe" Answered Rose

Jack jumped in the air. "I knew it, I knew it! Their totally in love and im not the only one who thinks it."

Jack had been paranoid latley, after the little incident at the resturant, he knew for sure that the doctor cared for the master. And recently he had spotted how the doctor looks at him and how the master gets on around the doctor. He had to find out. And he started by asking everyone else that was on board. He was not alone. So far, both Donna and Martha believe it and Rose is just not sure. But Jack knew that from a woman's point of view, they can tell when a couple are in love.

He knew that they hadn't revealed it to each other or else they woud have told him. They probably don't even realise it. So instead they would have to do it themselves. Jack organised a plan, Martha and Rose were to go to the master and try to get it out of him or even just to find out a few details. Jack knew that he would never try something like that on the doctor. 1. he would easily catch on to his plan and 2. the doctor would be able to hide it and try to make up lies or change the subject. So instead, Jack and Donna had the job of trying to get the doctor and the master alone with each other. Somewhere romantic and beautiful, just to fit the moment.

Phase one was in action.

The two pairs split up to find each lover. The plan had comenced.

It didn't take long before Martha and Rose found the master. They had checked his room first to find it empty. Then they checked the kitchen, hoping to find him in there enjoying a cup of tea. Again they come out empty. The next room they were successful. They walked through the library doors and found the master on the couch beside a fire, luxuriating in a new book that he had found.

He raised his head to see the new comers and smiled. They gradually made their way over to him and sat down on the floor facing the master and their backs to the fire. They sat in silence, the master stared at both women, waiting for one of them to at least say something, but instead all they did was sit there and stare at the master with scary grins on their faces. The master couldn't take it and decided to brake the tension.

"Something the matter?"

"Oh no" Rose replied in a sarcastic tone "just wanted to talk that's all"

The master began to panic, he rose from the couch and pointed to his chest "Am I in trouble? If i did something wrong, then I really didn't mean to, it was an accident"

Martha stood up and quickly made her way over to him "Master, master calm down. You did nothing wrong. Like we said, we just wanted to have a little friendly chat."

"Is that what friends do?"

"Yeah, we sit down, get comfy, and talk about anything we want"

"Anything?"

"Yeah, whether it's about fashion, or gossip, or anything that might be troubling you" Rose realized the small hint that Martha was trying to give to the master.

"Troubling"

"Yeah, why is there something that's troubling you?"

By now the master had slowly sat back down on the couch, Martha sat beside him whilst Rose still stayed kneeling on the floor, but had crawled over to them to get closer, making sure that she was still a part of their little talk. She came to notice the master fiddling with his hands, he was getting nervous. Maybe they were beginning to break him. If they were, then this was easier than what she thought it would be.

"No, sure w-what made you think there was something wrong, nothings wrong, I'm perfectly fine, nothings troubling me, nothing at all, I'm pretty sure I would know if something was troubling me, if there was then I would surely tell one of you, like the doctor, or you or Rose or Donna or Jack or the doctor...mph"

"Master!" Martha had heard enough and though it best to shush the master in case he didn't stop talking for a breath, she had covered his mouth with her hand before continuing. "calm down, I'm not gonna kill you if there was something wrong. That's the whole reason for having a simple friend to friend chat. Its to basically tell what's up and hopefully your friends will be able to help and sort it out" She removed her hand.

"So you can help me?"

Rose spoke up, worrying that if she didn't say anything soon, then she would seem invisible. "So there is something wrong?"

"No... Maybe... a little" the master shrunk down and his face fell down to the floor.

"You wanna talk about it?"

"Well, its nothing to worry about, its just, saying it that is"

"So you think that whatever it is that you'll say to us will worry you"

The master looked back up "Not you... the doctor"

"Why? You know he wont hurt you. What is it that so worrying to tell him"

"That I love him"

The doctor made his way to the console room, on his way he came to notice how he hadn't seen anyone in a while. They had somehow dispersed themselves from him. Did they not want to see him, did he do something to upset them. No, they would never. If he did something wrong they would tell him. When he made it to the console he decided on checking how the TARDIS was doing in the vortex. She seemed ok.

Just when he sat down on the pilots chair and stuck his feet up on the console, Donna and Jack came in with huge grins on their faces. The doctor turned his head to acknowledge them and smiled back. Once they had walked up to him, he felt confused. He knew they were about to ask him something by the looks on their faces. Lets just hope its nothing important or worrying.

"Where have you two been, and everyone else? I was beginning to think you lot were starting to ignore me"

"What made you think that?" Asked jack

"Oh I dunno, Just the fact that I have been walking all over the TARDIS and didn't seem to bump in to any one of you. At first I thought it seemed natural, the TARDIS being this big any way. But then I had been through a lot of rooms and even started knocked on some of your doors, your didn't answer and i assumed that you were trying to ignore me or even hide away."

"Why would we do that"

"Well I thought that maybe I had done something wrong"

"That wouldn't make us run and hide from you. We were all just sitting around having a quite chat in the Living room, and I think the master's reading another book in the library. So stop your worrying spaceman and listen, we need to ask you something"

"Oh, ok then. What's up?"

Jack leaned against the console and folded his arms before starting phase two of his plan.

"We have a request"

"Yes"

"We mean, we have an idea of where we would like to go next"

"Oh good, I've been meaning to ask you lot for any requested destinations, because it seems to me that i'm choosing everywhere we go" The doctor sat up straight on the chair, lowering his legs to the floor. "So what do you have in mind?"

Jack looked to Donna, hoping for some ideas from her.

"Well, somewhere nice of course. Not earth, but somewhere new. Beautiful and romantic." The doctor frowned as she continued "Something that has a nice view at night, not too hot but not too cold, and there has to be a town or a village, to at least give us something to do during the day"

When Donna had finished she saw that the doctor's eyes had widened in astonishment.

"Wow, that's a very detailed request."

"I know, its just the simple stuff that I like to see"

"Ah"

Jack stepped forward beside Donna and stuck his hands in his pockets. The doctor had folded his arms in wonderment. "So Doc, got any places in mind?"

The doctor jumped to his feet and went to the controls. "I might have a few"

"Good, choose one and lets go there next"

"Again I'm still choosing"

Donna and Jack laughed at his comment. He began flicking switches and turning nobs. But not for there required destination.

"It'll have to wait till tomorrow though. The TARDIS needs some refueling in Cardiff, so I'm gonna park her down there and wait till morning, is that ok?"

Jack smiled and threw his hands in the air "Perfect! That gives us the whole day"

"Oh, ok then. You's don't have anything planned do you?"

Jack had to quickly think of an excuse to fake the reason as to why they really want to find the perfect place for the doctor and the master "Umm... no. Why? Cant we enjoy a beautiful planet with and astounding view. A nice little day out. Six friends out for an adventure"

"Course we can, yeah"

"Great, can't wait then. So we shall see you in the morning" Donna and Jack walked out towards the interior of the ship, the doctor frowned before setting the controls to Present day Cardiff, unable to see the hive five that took place away from his view.

Rose couldn't hold in the huge grin that was about to reveal it self. She had to cover her mouth, but when the master saw it he took it the wrong way.

"I knew it! I'm a freak, everything I do and like, it ends up with me getting laughed at" The master hid has face in his legs and began to cry. Rose ran up to him and brought him into a hug.

"No no no master. You don't get it. I'm not laughing at you, i'm just smiling. I'm smiling because I'm happy for you, so so happy. You see that's why we came here to talk to you.
We had sort of realized that you did have feelings for the doctor, we've seen it for a while now. So we were hoping that you might tell us, and now that you have it changes everything."

The master raised his head sniffed. His face was covered in tears tracks, so he whipped them away along with a quick rub at his nose. "Really, how come"

"Well, we think the doctor feels the same way."

"How do you know? Did he tell you?"

"Just trust us"

"But i can't just tell him. He might get angry, and if he gets angry he won't want to be my friend anymore, and since he wont want to be my friend he might take me back to the hospital."

Martha had to stop the master before he went on and get even more worried.

"Now you know the doctor would never do that, he promised that he would never hurt you, and will always take care of you."

"But i can't just tell him"

"You tell him in your own time, when you feel ready, ok"

The master nodded in agreement. Maybe it was time to confess to him, just not today.

"Now come on, lets get you to bed"

Martha and Rose lead the way to his room and comforted him along the way. They made sure to keep reminding him that every was ok, and that they were truly happy for him. When he left them and went to bed. Rose and Martha headed for the Living Room. There was were they were suppose to met up with Jack and Donna after each plan was completed. When they arrived they found Donna and Jack waiting for them.

Martha spoke "So how did it go with the doctor"

Jack grinned and began to slowly rub his hand together like he was an evil villain, he even put on the voice. "My plan has worked perfectly"

"Please don't ever do that again"

"Well sorry for trying to be a little humorous"

"And what about you, how did it go with the master" asked Donna, who had supplied her self with a bag of crisps.

Martha and Rose looked at each other then back at the other two, they couldn't help but give them huge cheesy grins. Jack and Donna soon got the message. For a while longer they had sat and discussed what will happen tomorrow. Making sure that everything will turn out perfect and the doctor and the master would never catch on.
