Just a short chapter today, as I've decided the next bit is going to be a flashback and I thought it would look neater if I separated them into chapters. As promised you finally get an answer, what it is you'll just have to find out for yourself. As for Laugh-out-loud-27's idea, I was originally going to put that earlier on in the story but that plan died a sudden firery death. I've managed to resurrect part of it though so don't be too disappointing in me. Again, I'm really sorry for the (almost) two month break but I had no control over that as all my subject teachers decided they didn't think we were going to finish in time. Not. Cool. Dave.
Anyway, ON WITH IT!
'Did you miss me?' The Doctor gave Amy a tired smile and she made to rush over to him but a hand on her shoulder stopped her in her tracks.
Looking back she saw that the hand was attached to the Captain and she struggled to escape to the Doctor's side.
'Calm down!' he said loudly. 'Think about this carefully. He might not be your…friend.' Jack tried to explain.
'He's right.' Rose said in a quiet voice, laying a gentle hand on her other shoulder. 'This was way too easy.'
'But it has to be him.' Amy struggled against them in a futile effort to get free.
'AMELIA JESSICA POND, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!' Rose yelled suddenly which made Amy pause in shock.
Of course the Captain couldn't here all this and started his own rant just after Rose finished. 'YOU DON'T GET IT! THIS ISN'T THE DOCTOR!'
Rose and Amy turned to him and were just about to ask what he meant when the 'Doctor' cleared his throat and they all turned to look at him.
'Just like you aren't Captain Jack.' He gave the group a smirk that seemed a little on the evil side. 'Congratulations, Doctor. I wasn't aware you had escaped my little prison that I made for you.'
Both the Captain's and the Doctor's forms wavered, the chains vaporising into thin air, until the real Doctor stood in the Captain's place and the Dreamlord in the fake Doctor's former prison.
'Well it's too late now, neither of you can stop me.' The Dreamlord sneered at them.
'They might not be able to, but I can.' Rose said softly and the Doctor and the Dreamlord turned in sync to face her.
'What?' The Doctor exclaimed quietly in disbelief, at the same time the Dreamlord muttered, 'Impossible.'
The Dreamlord turned angrily to his enemy.
'I'm supposed to be the Dreamlord here. I rule this. Why don't you stick to being the Lord of Time!' He shouted at the Doctor.
'It's not…I didn't…I'm not…doing this.' The Doctor stuttered back. 'This is COMPLETELY impossible!'
'What's going on?' Amy asked the two, bewildered. 'It's just my friend Rose.'
'That, Amy dear, is where He sees the problem.' Rose smiled at her. Then she raised her hand, clicked her fingers and the room vanished in a flash of light.'
