Chapter Thirteen

Cleaning up after war was hard normally for humans but it was even harder for the Angelxon's. This war had lasted for almost a decade and almost their entire planet was in ruin. The Master had given Elincia the flute to use but she saved it for the more drastic of things. But after the rebuilding; Elincia found herself trying to come up with ways of recreating Gallifrey. That was when Amy and Rory had to take the flute away and put it in the box. There were going to be consequences of the Oricana, they all knew that by using it the few times that Elincia had somewhere in the universe the opposite happened.

In the Palace of Light Gelxina was preparing yet another celebration, not just the celebration of their liberation but also the wedding. It was her way of promising peace between Light and Dark even more. She was marrying one of Xelinxia's sons. She of course spent enough time with him to know that her decision was right. Elincia stood beside Gelxina as the ceremony took place. She had worn the same robes her grandmother had given her the day she first arrived on the planet.

The Master stood in the Tardis not really wanting to deal with the wedding. It reminded him too much of the other women he had married. Lucy, his own Time Lady Wife from long ago. Everyone he had ever loved, or pretended to love, he ended up hurting. Maybe that was why Elincia had said no to him when she had; she knew he was going to break her hearts. The Tardis doors swung open and everyone walked in. everyone save for Elincia. He looked at the Doctor who only shook his head. "She said she'll be right back…I told her five minutes before we go after her."

The Master nodded his head and went to his bedroom. The Tardis was no longer humming at him angrily, now she was humming in concern. That was all he needed someone to understand him and that was what Elincia was. Someone who understood him for what and who he was. The bedroom door opened slowly and Elincia walked in. the robes seemed to glide around her so slowly that he thought time had stopped for them both.

"Lin, I—"

She put her finger tips over his lips and made shushing noises. "It's all right," She said softly while brushing her hand over his cheek. "I made a realization."

He took a gulp of air then watched as she sat down next to him. "What was it?"

"That maybe I should have not been so stupid as a youth," She said while taking hold of his hands. "Koschei, I'm so sorry for what I did to you."

"Gods, must I keep telling you that I already forgave you?" He asked sarcastically while tightening his hands around her slender fingers. There was a long silence between them that only grew more intense as the seconds passed into minutes. Neither could read the others thoughts but knew that sooner or later they were going to be interrupted. Sure enough Jack walked in with a slightly worried look on his face.

"Oh, I thought he had killed you." Jack said with disdain. He still hated the Master for what had happened. Elincia shot to her feet having let go of the Master and going up to Jack.

"Now I really am thinking that you human's are degenerate." Elincia said while looking him in the eyes. "Get out…now."

Jack held his hands up and started to walk away.

"He's right to worry you know." The Master said getting to his feet.

Elincia closed her eyes and let the Master wrap his arms around her. "Yes, but he should know better than to say those things around me."

...

Amy sat with Rory in the kitchens as Elincia walked, almost skipped, around while cooking. Something was not quite right with the female Time Lord. Rarely was she in the mood to hum, skip and cook at the same time. Amy looked at her fiancé with a worried look that passed between the two of them.

"Elincia, what happened?" Amy asked while keeping her eyes on Rory.

"I can't have a good morning?" Elincia asked while looking over her shoulder at the two humans. Rory looked at Amy then shrugged.

"Well, we didn't hear anything last night." The Doctor said while walking in with Jack. "Where's the Master?"

"Still asleep…he doesn't like talking much." Elincia giggled then began serving the food. Apparently it was scrambled eggs, toast, sausages and strawberries. The Doctor bit into a little bit of everything then looked at Elincia surprised.

"Where, no when, did you learn how to cook?"

Rory dropped his fork and stared at Elincia in both fear and worry. Amy patted Rory's hand then smiled. "Don't worry, it's good." When Rory bit into his food his eyes widened and he nodded his head.

Elincia smiled then put together a plate for the Master and a plate for herself. She walked carefully with one plate balanced on her head and the other in her left hand. She put the plate on her head on the bedside table then headed for her room. Elincia slipped out of her robes and into a pair of black silk pajama pants and her black tank top. Her first thought was to forget the compromising position she had found herself in that morning.

The Master was fast asleep with his face resting against the nape of her neck. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her hands curled up against his chest. She slowly opened her eyes and felt slightly comfortable for all of two seconds then realized that it might be a little too frightening for the both of them. Sure they hadn't done anything but the positions were still enough to show their true emotions.

Elincia shook her head then ate her food quickly. After the food was finished she lay back on her bed and let her mind wander into meditation.

…

Jack waved his goodbyes then grabbed hold of Elincia. "You know I will always be here in case you change your mind right?" He asked before kissing her. It was a long drawn, hungry, but passionate kiss that Elincia felt like melting, but then pushed him away lightly with a smirk.

"Yes, I know, but you scare me sometimes…it's that fixed point thing…I can't stand your presence for more than a week." She joked then walked back to the Tardis. The Master started to follow her when he turned to look at Jack.

"You take damn good care of her," Jack warned while playing with his gun. Amy told him to stop but the Captain shrugged. "I can't help that I hate him, it's got to do with what he put me through for about a year."

Amy shook her head then walked Rory back into the Tardis. Elincia was standing there rubbing her mouth like being kissed by Jack hurt her. Amy tilted her head to one side then put an arm around her shoulder. "Everything is going to be ok; I think we might be able to help you."

"With what?" Elincia asked looking at the two humans with surprise and curiosity.

"Getting your boyfriend…the Master, back" Rory said with the same smile as his fiancé.

"You've got to be kidding me." Elincia let her shoulders droop as she looked at them attentively. "I'm getting dating advice from two humans who are supposed to be getting married."

Rory looked at Elincia then at Amy. "Well…"

"Well what? And what is all this yelling about?" The Doctor asked as he and the Master walked in.

"Nothing," All three piped up then Elincia cleared her throat when the Master gave her the same look that she had given Rory and Amy. Finally the Doctor had mentioned that they needed to get going before too long and Elincia thought back to a few places and times in Earth's history that might have been pleasant for them to go to that might not involve too much danger.

"Oh I know," Elincia started remembering the correct locations as she ran about the control console. "Heading Lythaxi System, cluster six, beta point five."

"But that takes us to…" The Doctor started to say while blinking at her.

"Uthuma, Are you certain that it's safe?" The Master finished while helping her.

"If it wasn't do you think I would be putting in the coordinates?" She retorted before looking at him. Amy opened her mouth to speak but saw the look that passed between the Master and Elincia. Her attention was then turned to the Doctor, he was sending off waves of jealousy but only slightly.

"To Uthuma it is!" The Doctor said with a grin, "Geronimo!"

A/N: WOW it's been a long time? Anyone miss me? I had a lot going on but its almost over. then you won't hear from this story anymore!
