So...hey, guys...
Sorry about falling of the face of the Earth for a whole nine days.
^^; heh?
Okay, I messed up.
I'm sorry.
I've had a TON of tests in the past week (and at least five more this week), a ton of stuff is going down at my school (nude photos were leaked, kids smoking in the restrooms, major vandalism, you know- the future of America!), my cousin came to visit from North Carolina and stayed with us (I didn't know this until she showed up, FYI), I'm doing a Doctor Who Christmas drawing countdown on my DeviantArt and it sorta takes up my writing time, I had a huge paper to work on and finish, I sorta got grounded, etc, etc, etc.
I've also been pretty stressed out in general. If I didn't tell you guys, my birthday is next Friday, and I don't really have fond memories of my birthday anymore, and with my whole up-and-down moods, Christmas next week can be so exciting one minute, and just another day the next. So yeah...just please bear with me here, guys. This is pretty difficult for me. :(
Also, I regret to inform you all that the huge Christmas piece has been cancelled. It's just that with everything going on, I couldn't write to that point in the story, and even if I did- it would probably dilute the quality of the chapters a lot. I will be at least writing a nice Christmas AU oneshot for you guys and I think all you Jester shippers will enjoy it immensely ((Yes, there will be Jester!)) )- so don't fret! :)

Why, thank you very much!

Thanks to Hooligan'sDoctor for following and adding this story to their favorites!
I'm sorry if this is a crap chapter. The beginning was written today, and after a crappy holiday party with one side of my family, getting soaking wet in the freezing rain, getting caught in a downpour while driving in the dark, reading rumors of what Yahoo might be doing to Tumblr this week, and how Phil Robertson was a total dick with his homophobic comments...I'm a little pissed at the world.
And by 'a little':
I mean a lot.
Chapter Twenty Five- File Not Found
"H-how can it know that?!" screeched Simon, panicking. "I-it knows everything!" He said, pushing Jase aside in a blind act of pure panic, scrolling down to read even more information. "It even knows my Tumblr password! My Tumblr password!"
"I said it was The Inter-Galactic Intelligence Agency. It's like MI6 or the CIA for the universe." Said Jase, walking closer to the keyboard. "It's like looking up a person in a police archive. Only it's more than people who have committed previous crimes, and its span in a whole universe." He tapped away at the keyboard, bringing up a photo of a lizard-like human, covered in green scales instead of human skin. From what Jessie could see, it was also wearing female Victorian-age clothes. "-for example," began Jase, raising a hand to indicate the creature. "Madame Vastra. A Silurian who has blended into society in Victorian London, along with her human partner Jenny, and a Sontaran by the name of Strax." He said, clicking a button to reveal even more information. "She's an affiliate of The Doctor, but not quite yet."
"What do you mean by 'not quite yet'?" Asked Simon, confused as ever.
"I mean, The Doctor hasn't met them yet." Replied Jase. "He's in his next regeneration when he meets them. He doesn't even know who they are right now."
"Regeneration-?"
"It's a process that happens when a Time Lord is severely injured." Explained Jessie, matter-of-factly. "They change. They get a whole new body. A whole new personality. Their likes, their dislikes- everything changes. The only things they have left that are the same are their memories. It's sad, really..." She said, staring off into space, speaking emotionlessly. "Leaving everything you've ever known behind without even having a say in who you become."
"Whoa." Said Simon, wide-eyed. "You sure know a lot of this alien Time Lord stuff."
"Not much, really." She said, dejectedly. "He didn't really have time to tell me much of it. A lot of it I don't know...and will never find out about." She said, letting out an obnoxiously loud sniff as she tried to hold back tears.
Just to break the emotional tension, Jase quickly went to the keyboard, typing like mad. "Your full name?" He asked as calmly as he could when she had pulled herself together. "Jessica Anne Gaule", she replied, wiping her eyes and ridding them of what was once the beginnings of tears forming around her eyes. He typed away, pressing the enter key.
SEARCHING...
ERROR
"GAULE, JESSICA ANNE" NOT FOUND
ACQUIRING DPP FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE
And then, in a beam of green-blue light, Jessie saw the person she -in all her wildest dreams- had never imagined to see at that exact moment:
The Master.
The more reviews I get, the quicker chapter 26 will arrive!
Oh, and just to make it even BETTER:
if I get a TON of reviews on each chapter from this chapter until Christmas, I'll make the Christmas story even LONGER every time I get a review.
