A/N: Heyy, everyone! This is the last chapter of the first series/this fic. In two weeks I'll start publishing the next one. I just need some time to write the chapters.

This chapter is kinda short but so was the Children in Need Special between the series. But this is nothing like that one. This is super-duper cool! I hope the other two in this one are in-character. I only used Wikipedia to search information wbout them. Why an I writing like this? Because I don't want to spoil the surprise!

And by the way, you'll finally get the description of Sierra's room now.

But now into the story!

14. Short stop (relatively speaking)

Sierra flew through the Time Vortex uncontrollably. She twisted in all directions and was more than once upside down or backwards, sometimes both.

"The Doctor must be playing around after the regeneration…" She thought aloud, remembering the mini-episode before the Christmas Invasion. "I wonder where I'm headed." She was upside down again. Something was coming towards her. She could hear it even though she could see it yet. And when it was near enough to be seen, the light of the Vortex made it hard to recognize. It was the familiar humming noise that told the girl what it was. "Oh no… Oh-no, oh-no, oh-noou…"

Sierra flew straight at it. Didn't crash but flew straight through the walls. It didn't actually hurt but it felt like she had been hit in the face by a frying pan. For a second Sierra could see the console room before slamming into the wall and sliding on the floor. Everything blacked out.

There were only two people there besides her. The console room was larger than she had used to know and the colors were light grey, light grey and… light grey. How boring… The walls were full of round slots, unfit to be shelves though. Sierra had painfully hit onto them due her flight.

"Destination reached. Code: Recorder completed." Her wrist device told her even though she was unconscious. The two people in the room ran to her.

"Oh my giddy aunt! How did she get here?" A male voice said. Sierra could only vaguely hear it and had troubles of recognizing it.

"She flew through the wall, Doctor." Another male voice answered. Scottish, Sierra noted the sharp 'R's. Doctor… She was with the Doctor… But which one? Code Recorder… That must mean… The Second? Oh, how her head was pounding.

"I saw it, Jamie. The question is 'how'. We are in the middle of Vortex! And through the wall? It's just impossible!" The Doctorwas heard to walk a circle nearby. His steps got closer and further in turns. The floor pounded under Sierra's head uncomfortably and she let out a groan. The steps stopped. "Awake, are we?"

"Guess so…" Sierra managed to mumble, keeping her eyes still shut.

"Can you sit?"

"Maybe…" Sierra pushed herself up but sank on the ground with a grimace when her back gave out a protest. It had hit the space between the circle slots and if her speed hadn't been reducing, she probably would have broken it.

"Careful, lass… You are hurt." The Scottish voice said.

"Oh, I didn't notice it." Sierra snapped quietly.

"Now, now, children, there is no need for arguments." The Doctor told them. Sierra opened her eyes slowly to see him crouched next to her. Jamie in the other hand was standing a few meters from her, obviously wary. Yep, it was the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon. She had gone pretty far in the Doctor's timeline apparently.

"I'm fine…" Sierra pushed herself up and closer to the wall so she could lean against it. The motion made her head spin and she had to hold it with both hands.

"What's your name, young lady?" The Doctor asked calmly.

"Sierra… Sierra Adler."

"Nice to meet you. Can you tell me how you ended up here?"

"I… It was Timmy and some emergency coding the old girl put into him."

"Timmy?"

"My Vortex Manipulator." Sierra pointed her watch in her left wrist. "Named it Timmy."

"And who's 'old girl'?"

"Take a guess." Sierra squeezed her eyes shut in pain.

"According your instant trust in me and lack of response on your surroundings, I take it as you know who I am and where you are." The Doctor stated, not quite ignoring her previous answer. "Am I right?"

"Yes, I travel with you… future you. Another regeneration…"

"And by 'old girl' you mean…?"

"The Tardis… This Tardis."

"Good, now I know everything I need to. And I assume you know you can't tell me anything about my own future." The Doctor got on his feet, leaving Sierra sit.

"I know." She nodded.

"Good, but just for the sake of curiosity… which regeneration is it?"

"From Ninth to Ten… Oh god, Rose must be panicking… She is there alone." Sierra thought aloud.

"Alone where?" The Doctor frowned.

"Witnessing the regeneration… I missed it, for obvious reasons." Sierra indicated the room around her.

"Ah yes, shock it always is. I suppose… I've done it only once this far but Ben and Polly were quite suspicious and disbelieving about what had happened."

"Yeah…" Sierra mumbled, trying to get on her feet now. The Doctor got her by her arm and supported her. Jamie came closer finally and helped her too.

"If it was an Emergency Protocol that got you here, it must mean that you were in danger." The Time Lord stated.

"Yeah, the whole satellite was breaking apart and… well, you weren't there anymore." Catching his eyes, Sierra added hastily. "It's alright though, I told you to leave and get Rose to safety."

"I see…" The Doctor said slowly. Sierra noticed now that he was the same height than her. She held back a snicker with an effort. "Straight from the troubles then?"

"Yes."

"I'm not happy about your choice of weapon though." Sierra looked down to see her gun still strapped on her leg.

"It was… necessary. And I mostly use it for stunning."

"I see." She could see he wasn't quite satisfied by the answer.

"I need to get back to my own time though."

"When is it?"

"The 24th December 2006."

"I can get you close then. Not at the place though. I can't go crossing my own timeline."

"I know."

"But before that, you rest."

"What?" Sierra looked at him in astonishment.

"You obviously have been in big trouble and fight. You need to restore your energy before returning. Sleep as long as needed; this is a time machine after all." He smiled. "Tardis probably has made you a room by now."

"Yeah, old girl seems to like me. Well, she sees into our future after all." Sierra smiled back and the two men let her stand on her own now. She swayed a bit a gripped the Doctor's shoulder but let go of it soon and started to wander towards her room. Would it be the same than it had been in Ninth's Tardis?

Previously Sierra hadn't really bothered to take a look at her room. They had always been going to the next adventure and after them she had just collapsed on the bed. She would've done the same now too if the remains of adrenalin hadn't been rushing through her body. So now she took a good look at her room while changing into pajamas.

The walls were nice. The color was about the same than Nine's console room, metallic beige. Opposite the door was a comfy bed, for one person naturally, with inky blue bed cover. The bed was right next to the wall so it had only one bedside table at the left side of it(if you looked at the foot of the bed). At the left side of the bedside table was a single self for… stuff. All kinds of imaginary items were placed on it. Even though Sierra had no idea about some of them, they all truly appealed her eye.

Following the wall behind her bed to the right to the third wall, was a closet for her clothes. All kind of clothes she liked and what Tardis suggested her to wear. This way she didn't need to go through the giant wardrobe all the time. Although when she needed something special and era-appropriate she had to go there to look for it. Otherwise she did just fine with her own 'private closet'.

Next to the wardrobe was a door. A blank, dark brown wooden door, the type one called panel door. Same looking than the one leading to the corridor. Sierra had tested the brass door handle a couple of times but had never managed to open it. Not even after sonicing the door.

At the other side of the door was a similar single self than on the wall opposite it. It was placed lower though and had some of her personal items she didn't feel like keeping in her back pack all the time.

The last wall, which also had the door, had a dark, wooden desk and an impressive bookshelf between it and the doorway. All her favorites and some she hadn't read yet but had wanted to for a long time. The Tardis obviously knew her well and she noted with a smile that the singular shelves, the feet of the desk and the doorframes were all similar to the coral pillars in Nine's console room, though smaller and a tad more elegant and made of brass.

Sierra sank on a bean bag between her bed and wardrobe a book in her hands. Melody Malone was the author. Sierra frowned slightly. Would she risk at reading it? The spoilers and all. And she didn't want to stress out herself by crying over the events of the book…

"There could be a window here." She looked at the spot on the wall above the bean bag. And right on her words a window appeared there showing the space outside. The curtains were the same inky color than the bed cover and the frames the same dark wood than her desk. The curtain rod in the other hand copied the doorframes and other brass objects in the room. Sierra smiled. "Thank you Tardie."

Finally deciding against the reading, she got up and after placing the book back to the bookshelf, she plopped on her bed. Maybe she should take the Second Doctor's advice and sleep now when she could. After all Timmy had brought her there. She curled under her warm and soft duvet and fell asleep surprisingly fast.

Sierra woke up in the smell of tea. She blinked a few times and turned her head to right. She smiled as she saw a cup of tea on her bedside table. The Tardis must've known when she'd be waking up. Sierra got up and drank the tea slowly. It was her favorite, the same Azorean tea she had made at Baker Street when she had accidentally met Sherlock and John.

"Thanks." She smiled at the teacup. She got up and changed into new clothes. The clothes she had worn previously were quite ragged by now. Either due the battle she didn't really take part to or then due the Emergency Transportation in Time Vortex. With a regret she chucked those clothes down a shaft that appeared on the wall. The shaft disappeared soon and instead of it a mirror appeared. Sierra looked at her mirror image. She was wearing a black polo shirt and over it a green V-neck slipover. She also had tight dark blue jeans and dark greyish brown boots.

"Good enough." She nodded and took her bag. She turned it into a belt bag again and after taking a purple quilted jacket, a knitted hat of the same color, a light blue scarf and a pair of gloves, she left the room.

She found her way to the console room quickly and had been right by guessing the Doctor and Jamie would be there.

"Morning!" She greeted them. The Doctor looked up and smiled to her.

"Morning. Or evening. Depends how you look at it."

"I know. How long was I asleep?"

"About…" The Time Lord took a look at his watch. "Thirteen hours."

"Wow, that's pretty much."

"Yes, shall we go now? The Christmas 2006, London."

"Sure!"

They were near. Very near. Sierra stood up the opened Tardis doors, looking at the Vortex around them.

"When I say jump, jump." The Doctor instructed his eyes on the monitor.

"Okay!" Sierra shouted over the engines. "And thanks for everything!"

"See you again!"

"You can be sure about that." Sierra turned around to face the console room.

"Jump!" She let go of the edges of the doorframe and leaned backwards. She saw him for short moment before the doors slammed shut. He was waving to her. Sierra smiled: nice chap.

A/N: Whew! It's over! I'm so proud of myself this is the second fic I've ever finished! Or can I count this one? After all this was only the first part of the X-amount of series... And what did you think of Second and Jamie. I haven't seen any episodes of Classic Who so...

Please review! We see you again in fourteen days(about). I love you all! ;D
