"How touching", Kaster assumed while watching the "memory" sequence – this very one showed the remembrance of Tenth Doctor in the form of a dream – and spotting Rhodie and Handy coming to Tenny, holding hands and beaming to him. "How many are there?"

"Just two sequences left", Paul assured him. "Hope it didn't make them bored".

"And I hope they will like the play more than costumes". Kyon, hanging upside down from a hat stand nearby, holding on it with his knees, was watching the action as well and not caring that his face monstrously matched the color of his hair. "Is it Smithy's turn yet?"

"At first it's my turn". Carrie, now her hair as loose and ginger as it should be, and dressed in a checkered shirt and a miniskirt, approached to them from the back. "Right. At first I show myself, then Smithy falls from the top in that blue box… hope he doesn't forget to gain his rosy cheeks back again".

"And then there's a bit of rush like it was with Rhodes and Ecc", Kyon interfered, dangling like a living pendulum.

The new action began with the sound of crash in darkness, then the stage was lighted, and Smithy's tousled head showed itself from the TARDIS (which was on her side) together with the beginning of the new song. The Doctor gasped after having heard the first words.

"We are, we are
Not your ordinary fama-mily,
But we can all agree that
We are, we are
Close as close can be!
So it's no matter what you look like –
You look perfect to me!
We've got every kind of love,
I feel so lucky indeed!
People keep on talking?
It's no matter to me
Cuz we are, we are family!"

"I can run from anything. Time doesn't matter". The Doctor's hearts filled with warm feeling. Perhaps that theme hadn't been chosen for nothing… or accidentally… or in any other way. Family! Yes, there was a family. Scattered throughout all possible Universes, times and spaces (and sometimes even there where there was nothing, literally, no time or space), but there were members of one great big family.

"Ah!" He came out of his "trance" upon sensing a warm weight on his hand – it was Pat hugging it. Yes, he had inherited this… clingy-ness a bit. "Have I daydreamed it all?"

"Day-dreem good", Pat objected, showing his opinion about something "not good" going on in the Doctor's head, and released his hand. "More".

And, yes, it was time for Paul's final speech.

A/N: The song is We Are Family (Ice Age: Continental Drift OST).
