I want to thank Irken-Invader, Ayjah and Suuki-Aldrea for their reviews! I am also going to apologize for my bad writer behavior. This is a week late. I'm really sorry. I may have to switch to every other week, but I will do my best to have a new chapter up every week. I'd recommend story alerting this if you want to follow it. It will still be on Tuesday, though, if you would prefer to just check in every week.

I also want to thank my father, who helped me develop the plot for this, even if he had no idea what was going on.

YOU ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT LEAVING HER BEHIND. Death commented as they walked down another side street, WE ARE GOING TO YOUR SPACESHIP, I SUPPOSE?

"Yes. Susan told you about that. She's a smart, clever girl. You should be very proud of her." The Doctor chuckled, "Neither of you seem to keen on Jack. Can't blame her after his flirting. It got a bit outrageous and improper after she clearly shot him down. Several times. Actually, Rose thought it was pretty funny."

IT IS NOT THAT I DO NOT LIKE JACK. Death paused, a grandfatherly pause where a man has just told him that someone liked his sweet, innocent granddaughter, WHY WAS JACK FLIRTING WITH SUSAN?

They rounded the corner as the Doctor attempted to think of an answer. "I'm sure you noticed that Susan is rather very nice looking. Jack certainly noticed it. And he also has a tendency to flirt with everybody."

Death looked over at the Doctor, I MUST CONFESS, THE ENTIRE SITUATION IS VERY CONFUSING TO ME.

"It doesn't get any better, trust me. I've just learned to stop him from saying anything. Most of the time." They walked past a chocolate shop, and the Doctor stopped. "Chocolate covered bananas…I wonder if that's a special. I'll be a second. The TARDIS is just down there." The Doctor wandered into the store.

Death looked down in the direction the Doctor had gestured, then looked back in to the store and called, DOCTOR? The Doctor popped his head out the door, "Yeah?"

YOUR…TARDIS. IS IT A LARGE BLUE BOX?

"Yeah. You can head down to it if you want. I'll be there in a second." The Doctor re-entered the store.

DOCTOR. Death called again, and raised his skeletal arm to point his bone finger at the TARDIS. The Doctor poked his head out the door and followed the line. He stepped out of the door and on to the street to stare.

Surrounding the TARDIS were four stone angels, each holding a side of the time machine. It was lifted off the ground slightly.

"Ah." His grin started to fade, "That could be a problem."

"This is ridiculous. They've all left. Why would he have us wandering around here, dusting old pots?" Rose sighed.

"Gives me a good chance to stretch. I didn't know he cared about my health." Jack grinned, "Didn't know he knew I had health. Or an extensive exercise regimen that excluded stretching. An over sight that will not be forgotten ever again if this is his way of fixing it."

Rose laughed, tying her hair back with a clean dust rag. Jack's shirt was some where down on the first level, and the Monks were on the other side of the room, Soto washing the base board and Lu-Tze sweeping the floor. Lu-Tze smiled as he leaned against the broom. "You missed a spot on the wall." He said.

"What? Where?" Jack reached up higher.

"And you didn't dust that frame, Miss Tyler." Soto called.

"Bloody cleaning!" Rose exclaimed, throwing her feather duster on the floor. "It's been two hours! And fifteen minutes! Why hasn't he called?"

"He might be busy."

"Right, Look, I can't risk them taking the TARDIS anywhere. You can't blink, you said. I need you to watch them. I'll call Rose and tell her what happened." He attached the last wire. "This should warn me when I get near living stone."

I WILL WATCH YOUR SPACE SHIP. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT THEY DON'T GET IT?

"They'll have the control of all of time and space. The sun will go out." The Doctor pointed the square device over at the angels, and it beeped loudly. "Yup. It's working. Stay with the TARDIS. If I lose that I can't save Rose…or Jack, if something happens."

YOU ARE CERTAIN YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT?

"Do I look like I won't be?" The Doctor scanned the device with the sonic one more time before he put the screwdriver away. "Sorry to leave you like this, but you won't be in any trouble."

DO NOT WORRY.

The Doctor grinned brightly, "I'll come back in about an hour. Clear out this section, move on to the next. I'll check in each time before I move on." He looked back at his TARDIS one more time, and sighed.

Rose sighed and wandered over to the window, the phone in her hand, "I'm going to come meet you. Doctor, I won't let you be alone. Jack can stay with them! You come here and meet me, if you're so worried." She paused and sighed louder, "No, I do not want you in danger. Doctor, don't make me out to be insane. This would have been much easier if we'd split off into groups of three. It could have been an option. Fine!" She shouted, "I'll stay here and you go off and almost die! How do you think I would feel if I lost you? You think on that!" Rose slammed her phone shut and glared out the window.

Jack tapped her shoulder, "I realize you are having trouble with your boyfriend, but doing work might help."

"We're in trouble, Jack."

"I know he is." He said comfortingly, rubbing her back.

"No, we're in trouble. Jack, look down. The angels," She hesistated, then continued, "The angels came back. An army of angels. At every window. How did they get here?" Rose stared down in horror.

"Why did they come back here?"

CLIFF HANGER! I'm sorry if you're not a big fan of them! If it helps, I'd like it if you drop a review(TEA AND CAKE) or vote in the poll on my new user friendly profile page!

Or both.

Both would be nice.
