"You little Master-in-training, how did it even OCCUR to you to call yourself me?!"
Kaster had told it all while the Doctor, now fully dressed and tidied up, was setting the needed coordinates for everybody. But only this made him turn around and stare at the kid.
"Was blabbersome", Kaster shrugged. "Didn't see another way. I thought that... well..."
"Make it clear", Jenny interfered. "Definitely, Dad could've changed into a kid, but it's about attitude and mind things". She tapped on her temple. "I knew that Dad remained himself though there were changes".
"Oh, Jenny!" Kaster groaned. "When we first met, you said that I was like a proper little mini Doctor. Why not? Thought they would let me go and I'd find another way to get out for everybody".
"It wasn't you who found it, it were US", Erfin inserted. "Agree that you wouldn't have done it all alone".
"I do agree... and I agree that four-and-a-half Timelords and seven-and-a-half humans coped better than any other amount of them".
The Doctor laughed.
"If it goes this way, soon we'll have enough little Timelords to repopulate Gallifrey! And this time there will be no talking about artificial mixes!.. sorry, Trouty".
"No matter. Better than any of those zombified anyway", Trouty responded. "Did they do anything else to you?"
"Not really. Guess those were the scientists which want to know the core without development factors. And YOU know how important they are". The next thing the Doctor did was walking up to Lionel and ruffling his hair. "Hmm... Guess my interfering genes didn't work here".
"Huh?" Lionel raised one brow, and the Doctor snorted with laughter.
"I mean you didn't get those big ears. You know why the Beatles wore such hairstyles? Because one of them had lopped ears and wanted to hide it... Fine then".
"If we're talking about this, will you tell us about... us and our mother and Timelords?" Erfin put in. "I don't want to think that our mum is a spacewoman or else".
"She is not". There's a little Donna, the Doctor thought. Extraordinary things will be prosecuted. "But you two promise that you will never ever tell her what I will tell you. It is really important. If she hears a word of that she will burn out. I mean it".
"And great-grampa? Can we talk about this with him?" This time Erfin's voice reduced to whisper.
"Wilf? Is he all right?"
"Alive and well", Lionel replied. "So, can we?"
"Must be time influence..." the Doctor muttered. "Yes, you can. But again, be careful".
"I wanna listen too". Jenny took place next to them. "I really don't know much about you, Daddy".
"Can I ask a question?" Paul put in. "We just escape from there? Aren't we going... don't know... free those aliens or something?"
"I knew you would ask it, Steamer. You see, I was aware of my situation and did what I could in that capsule. I hope none of you will even know this condition when you understand and hear everything, but cannot give a signal... So, I heard that you found out about the connection of all the containers. Therefore I sent the message to all of them. Half-telepathically, partly through that cord... ewww... Anyway, we broke their master plan including you, whatever it was. And this is something".
"So that means their system is going to get sabotaged from the inside?" Rhodie pointed out.
"That's it. Now on to you, Jenny. What do you want to know?"
Alice, who sensed that she had heard this story many times (as well as the rest), decided to leave them alone. When she was out of console room, she giggled and grabbed the hands of Jamie and Hamish, who just happened to be the closest to her:
"Wanna dance?"
"The Mini-Doctor Dances!" Kaster exclaimed, and the gang hurried to the dance hall - they needed to have some fun before parting ways.
A/N: And guess what's going to take place next...
