All songs mentioned in this chapter belong to David Bowie
"I can't believe they did that!" An angry Rose stated as they all returned to the TARDIS. "I can't believe they thought that Dimension Portal was just a big hungry hole."
It had been a couple of days since their Welsh adventure and chance encounter with their own Dimension Portal. They'd been having some downtime, mixed with Rose training her Telekinesis and Jaime being taught how to properly enter someone's mind with permission, when the TARDIS unexpectedly took them to one of the planets recently effected by a Time Storm. It was called DataStore-8, which just sounded very odd for a planet. And neither the Doctor or J.D had heard of it before. But as it turned out, the inhabitants of Datastore-8 were very jittery bunch. Especially when it came to the 'swirling gaping maw' on the edge of town.
After Rose couldn't find anyone using the tracker the Doctor asked one of the natives if there'd been a Time Storm recently. This caused alarm bells within the small town and The Doctor, Rose, Amy and Rory were captured. Jaime and John mysteriously disappeared. It was soon explained by a village councilman that, ever since an invasion, they didn't like strangers. Once again the Doctor asked about the Time Storm and the councilman told him a man had been thrown into the gaping maw. This angered Rose but the Doctor was angered even more when they were told they too would be thrown into the hole.
All four Time Travellers struggled and protested as they were dragged to the portal. And just as they were about to be thrown into it, a loud high-pitched sound cut through the air and a flash of blue surrounded the portal, closing it seconds later. Jaime and John re-appeared and she gave the natives a stern telling off as The Omni. She scared them good.
"They were frightened, Rose. They couldn't help it. The Doctor replied, pulling the lever to send the TARDIS into the Vortex. He looked over at Jaime and John who were helping to fly the TARDIS. "And you didn't help matters! Where did you go anyway?"
John looked somewhat sheepish. "We were still there, you just couldn't see us. Perception filter." He explained. "And Jaime could feel the portal as soon as we stepped off the TARDIS."
The Doctor raised a brow and everyone was listening. "Oh, so what did you see this time?" He asked her.
She seemed rather hesitant to reply.
"Jaime?" Rose asked from the jumpseat. She'd felt there was something wrong. Something secretive.
"Ye probably wouldnae believe it if I told ye!" Jaime finally said.
"It sounds completely bonkers," John added.
"What is? What is it?" The Doctor demanded as Jaime gave an evil stare at John. He smiled sheepishly.
"Fine!" She let out a sigh and looked at the Doctor and Rose. "It was Gallifrey and the Time Lords. Safe and sound at the end of time."
The Doctor stared at her from across the console and Rose looked at him with a worried expression. She moved closer to him and rubbed his back in comfort. His stare began to make Jaime feel nervous and she just wanted to disappear. It was the type of stare he would reserve only for his enemy's.
"Doctor!" John warned when he finally spotted it.
"You're right, it is bonkers." The Doctor told her. "Because Gallifrey is Time Locked. End of."
"Maybe it's another Gallifrey in a different universe." Amy reasoned making Rose grimace and shake her head.
"No, no!" The Doctor ran his hands through his hair, making it more messier than ever. "There was only ever one Gallifrey in the entire Multi-verse. And it isn't coming back."
Seeing that his brother was upset...and maybe a little bit tormented...John swung the monitor around to him and Jaime. "We may as well deal with the last two Time Storm effected planets." He said to the Doctor. A grin soon appeared. "How about Barcelona!"
The humans perked up at this. "What? There's actually a planet called Barcelona?" Rory asked. "Is it named after the city?"
"Indeed it is, Rory." Jaime spoke up before either Doctors could. "Barcelona was founded and named by Spanish colonists. The majority of natives speak Spanish, while 10% speak Mexican-Spanish. All towns, city's and villages are named after Spanish and Mexican city's."
John stared in amazement. "How did you know that?" He asked. "Did you look it up?"
Jaime shook her head and Rose could feel she was confused.
"You just knew it?" The Doctor asked this time. Jaime nodded. "Well, how did you know that?" He questioned further.
"I dinnae know, I jus' dae." She replied, rather irritated by their questions.
The Time Lord continued to stare at her with narrowed eyes until he noticed Rose grinning at him.
"We never did manage to get there." She said to him. "And all you mentioned were the Noseless dogs."
"The what?" Amy squawked.
"Well we're going now aren't we?" The Doctor replied, hugging Rose. The blonde hugged back, snuggling into him.
"Barcelona it is then!" John typed in the co-ordinates.
"Allons-y!" The Doctor uttered as he pulled the lever and guided Rose in helping him fly the TARDIS.
The Time Machine changed its direction and hurtled through the Vortex to her new destination. The journey was a little bit rough and Amy and Rory went tumbling to the floor. The same thing happened to Rose and the Doctor after the TARDIS landed. She laughed excitedly as she and the Doctor got back to their feet.
"A little less turbulence next time!" Amy grumbled once she was back on her feet with Rory.
"Nah, it's more fun that way." The Doctor replied, shrugging his coat on.
"Or so he thinks!" John said as they followed Rose and the Time Lord out of the TARDIS.
When they did set foot on the planet they realised they had landed in the middle of a city centre. And it was hot, very hot. Of course, Barcelona had two Suns and a pale blue sky.
"Woah! It feels like actual Spain." Amy said.
The Doctor looked at Jaime and Amy with a worried expression before digging in his pockets of his blue pinstripe suit. He pulled out a bottle. "Here you go!" He tossed it to Jaime and she neatly caught it.
"Factor 250." She read. It was a bottle of Sunscreen.
"With you and Amy's skin so pale you're likely to burn easily." The Doctor told her.
How thoughtful!
Once Jaime and basically everyone else, apart from the Doctor, had put on the sunscreen they soon sauntered off through town. They quickly found out that, because of how hot the Suns were, free bottles of water were given out. They were quite thankful for this and they also noticed that Peso's were back in circulation along with the Credit Stick, making Barcelona a duel currency planet.
And then Rory spotted a dog sitting outside a shop. He was quite surprised to see that the shop was a McDonalds and he wondered just how far into the future they'd gone. But the second thing he noticed was that the dog didn't appear to have a nose. "Uhh...what's wrong with that dog?" He asked, pointing at it.
The others looked over at it and Rose was the first to go over to it, cooing at it.
Amy grimaced, staying away from it, unlike the Doctors, Jaime and Rory who were also cooing over it. "How does it smell?" She asked, wondering how it even breathed without a nose.
"Terrible!" Jaime, John and the Doctor said at the same time.
Rose laughed because there was nothing more funnier than hearing the joke in triplicate!
Meanwhile Amy just groaned. "I fell right into that one didn't I!" She mumbled.
As for Jaime, she found the Barcelonan Noseless dog to be the strangest dog she'd ever seen. It looked like a Border Collie that had been bred with a Dhole or a Fox. And it had wings.
"You never mentioned they had wings!" Rose spoke what Jaime was thinking.
"They don't, normally," the Doctor answered. "The Barcelonan Noseless don't have wings. This one has been bred with a Florana Flying Vulpes Lupus." He explained.
"A what?" Rory asked.
"Basically it's a Wolf Fox," J.D said, Jaime and and Rose glancing at each other. "They have bushy tails like a regular Fox and they bark like a Dingo. They're completely domesticated."
"And they fly?" Rory queried.
"They can't fly the height of birds," John told him. "But they can still fly, just fly low."
Jaime grinned. "Awww, such a cute little dog!" She coo'd at the mix breed dog as she petted it, her Zoolinguism coming into play. The dog barked back where she found it was a female and her name was Liberty. But her owner called her Mokka, probably because of her mix of brown fur. Yeah, real original! "Liberty? That's a nice name." She replied to the dog.
The others watched as Jaime and the dog barked at each other, catching the attention of passing Barcelonians.
"Okay, what is she doing?" A confused Rory asked. This was the first time he'd seen her interact with an animal.
"Jaime has an ability to talk to animals." The Doctor explained to the nurse.
"It's called Zoolinguism." John added, watching with a grin.
They heard somebody's cough for attention, followed by an "excuse me!" They all turned their attention to the man, except Jaime who was still petting the dog. Well, that was until she felt a huge amount of surprise and she wondered why that was. When she looked up she saw they were looking at a man. A man who was...
"Woah..." She said, standing up.
The dog wagged her tail and flapped her wings at the sight of her owner. Her owner who had bright red spiky type hair that looked like a mullet and a pale face. He also had odd looking eyes. And he stared at the troupe suspiciously. "Come on, let's go." He spoke to the dog and they walked away.
The Time Travellers stared after him, awe and amazement felt by Jaime and Rose.
"Doctor, what year is this?" Rory spoke up. "There is a McDonalds on a planet called Barcelona. And that man is dressed like David Bowie...well a version of his many guises."
"Well, I would say it's..."
"It's 5116, probably June or July on a Saturday afternoon. About 2pm or after. It's Summer, obviously." Rose interrupted the Doctor and he grinned proudly at her.
"Yep. That's about right." He replied. "It's the 52nd Century."
"Seeing a McDonalds in the 52nd Century on a different planet is pretty much normal for us," John told Rory.
"And we once went tae a Funfair planet called Helter tha' was part owned by Universal, MGM, etc." Jaime added. "They had a TGI Friday's."
"Okay, fine. But that still doesn't explain the Bowie look-a-like."
The Doctor opened his mouth to say something but then he shook his head. He didn't know. "Good thinking, Rory!" He said and looked back at the departing Bowie impersonator. "Let's ask him shall we!"
They managed to catch up with the impersonator and the poor fella looked ready for a fight as he stared at them suspiciously. "Sorry, sorry," the Doctor apologised when he noticed the man's discomfort. "We were just wondering why you were dressed like that?"
The Bowie look-a-like calmed down but now he frowned at them. "Is this your first time to Barcelona?" He asked the Time Travellers, his accent a mix of Spanish and something else.
"Yep," the Doctor replied. "I meant to come here before but we got a little sidetracked."
Rose snorted. 'A little sidetracked' was an understatement.
"On your holiday?" The man asked next.
"Aye, ye could say tha'." Jaime replied.
"Well in that case, welcome to Barcelona. I'm Marco and this is Mokka," he nodded at the dog. He then pulled out a leaflet from his pocket. "You'll find most of the entertainment in the world famous Bowie Quarter of Madrid." Marco gave the Doctor the leaflet. "I work there, it's a Karaoke Bar. But we also do Tribute Nights. See you there." He said and walked away with Mokka at his side.
The troupe looked at the leaflet and saw that the Karaoke bar was called Ziggy Stardust's.
The so-called Bowie Quarter was bright and lively. The strains of 'The Jean Genie' could be heard coming from an establishment from up the street. As they continued exploring they passed by the Bowie Inn, which was a Pub/Hotel, The Goblin King, that appeared to be a restaurant, Major Tom's, which was a clothes store, Life on Mars that was a music shop selling old timey records and CD's. And that's where the music was coming from.
"Wow! I can't believe there's an actual section of the City dedicated to David Bowie." Amy said, looking into the window of the clothes shop. It seemed to be selling clothes similar to what Bowie wore.
"Of course!" The Doctor spoke up. "He was a big influence across the whole universe."
Rose looked up at him with a grin. "Go on then, say it!"
The Time Lord frowned at her. "Say what?" He inquired.
"Say that you know him personally, that's what you usually say!"
Jaime and John were chuckling while Amy looked curious. Rory was confused as usual.
"Oh no, no. Not this time, Rose. I never met him. Ever. But I do know that he inspired me. Just listening to his songs made me want to travel and explore."
"We had to be careful though," John added. "Because at the time, Earth music was forbidden on Gallifrey."
"Awwww..." Rose one-arm hugged the Doctor before reaching up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Even as a Time Kid you were a Rebel Rebel!" She said.
They heard a humoured snort from Amy, and Rory and John were amused. Meanwhile the Doctor blushed, but he was grinning.
"Och, tha's a good one, Rose." Jaime said with a laugh.
"Thank you!" The blonde replied.
They reached the establishment that was called Ziggy Stardust's, the Karaoke Bar. Down the street the song being played now was 'China Girl'.
"Well, this should be fun!" The Doctor commented.
When they entered Ziggy's they saw that it was not just a Karaoke Bar, but a themed Karaoke Bar.
"I think I'm liking this already." Amy said.
A young woman, who was clearly dressed as the girl from Labyrinth, showed the group to a booth that was big enough to fit six people in. Then she told them someone would be along with the menus before returning to her position as a greeter.
Rory looked around the place, feeling curious. "There's something very 'Pulp Fiction' about this." He said. Though there wasn't booths that looked like cars, nor was anyone dressed like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe. But there was a stage. It wasn't a dancing stage but it was used for the tribute nights and karaoke.
The Time Lord frowned at the nurse. "Sorry, what's 'Pulp Fiction'?" He asked.
"Really, Doctor? It's a classic!" Amy told him.
"Well if it's a classic then why haven't I heard of it?" He asked.
"Because it's full of violence and not the type of movie you'd watch." J.D told him and Jaime looked surprised, along with Rose and the two humans. She had heard of it but never watched it...for obvious reasons.
"Wait, wait. How come the Doctor doesn't know what it is, but you know it?" Amy asked the Half-Time Lord.
John smiled slightly but Jaime could feel hint of sadness. "Donna watched it," he replied. "Seems she's quite the Tarantino fan."
Jaime put her arm around his shoulders and pulled him close to her. He smiled at this, thankful for her comfort. With a raised brow the Doctor asked who starred in the film.
"Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman with a very early reference to Kill Bill." John answered his brother.
"Basically it tells the story of several characters," Rose spoke up. "Sometimes one of them will turn up in another person's story."
But the Doctor shook his head, still confused. He'd never seen any of these films mentioned and he doubted he ever would. Kill Bill? What had Bill done to warrant such a death sentence?
A short time later they were approached by a man wearing a space helmet with the visor up and a space suit. It wasn't one of those bulky things that was worn in the episode about girl calling for help.
"Hello, I'm Major Tom and I'm your waiter for today. What drinks can I get for you?" The themed waiter spoke, handing them the menus.
They recognised his voice and it was Marco they met earlier.
"Thank you." The Doctor replied. "We'll look first, then we'll know."
"No problem." Major Tom said and walked away.
As Jaime picked up her menu she looked around the place and was able to spot a Ziggy waiter, a Goblin King waiter, a Baal waiter, a female with alien antenna's and bright red hair, which she could only presume was meant to represent Life on Mars, and the barman was Thomas Jerome Newton from 'The Man Who Fell to Earth'.
"Blimey! They put alot of thought into this." Rose said. She was looking at the menu and several items were named after a David Bowie song.
"Yep, you can say that again." The Doctor replied.
In the specials section there was a 'Sausage Oddity' and a 'Bowie Cocktail' that was red on top and pale on the bottom. It was called the 'Stardust Cocktail'.
Several minutes later Major Tom returned and asked if they were ready to order drinks or food yet. The Doctor went for a Banana Bowie Milkshake, Rose wanted a Vanilla Mint Bowie Milkshake, Amy and Rory wanted a Hypervodka and cola. To the Doctor's surprise and dismay he heard John ask for a San Miguel beer. And then to his further dismay Jaime asked for the same thing.
Five pints of San Miguel later, each, and a pizza between them, Jaime and John were singing Karaoke. 'Magic Dance' to be precise. "...I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry, what could I do," they sung. "My baby's love had gone, and I left my baby blue, nobody knew. What kind of spell to use..."
Rose and the Doctor watched this in amazement as they sat in the booth. Amy was laughing, having encouraged them to go up on the stage and sing karaoke.
"Doctor, is he a little bit drunk?" Rose asked, noticing J.D was all over the place and it was only the power of T.K that was keeping him from falling over.
"Hmmm...more than a little drunk. He's completely sloshed." The Doctor replied and picked up an empty bottle of San Miguel. "Look at that percentage." He said, showing Rose the alcohol percentage on the side of the bottle.
She gasped when she saw it. "17%? But on Earth it's only 3.1 or more. 17% is enough for someone to forget what they did the next day!"
The Doctor shook his head. "Rose, you're forgetting this isn't Earth. And they are not Earth humans. Their biology and physiology are a lot different to regular Earth humans. 17% beer is normal for a Barcelonan. 3.1, 4.1 or even 5.1 just doesn't do it for them."
Rose nodded in understanding. "So how is J.D drunk?" She asked next.
"Because he's only Half-Time Lord." The Doctor answered. "His metabolism won't clear all that alcohol straight away. Unlike mine. He's going to have a nasty case of hangover."
Rose rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Your physiology is superior!" The Time Lord grinned at this. "But what about Jaime?" The blonde asked next. "She's had the same amount of beer J.D's had but she doesn't even look drunk."
"Think about it, Rose." He urged her and he could tell she was doing just that.
"Oh!" Rose lit up and snapped her fingers. "It's because she's an Omni-Psychic and her metabolism is the same as a Time Lord?"
"Molto bene!" The Doctor congratulated with a grin, Amy and Rory listening to them. "It's her enhanced conditioning that burns the alcohol away in seconds."
"Are you saying she can't get drunk?" Amy asked. "At all?" She didn't think she would like that at all. The Doctor nodded his head at her question. "Can you?" She asked him.
"I could if I wanted to." He replied. But he didn't want to. He wasn't much of an alcohol drinker anyway.
Rose continued to watch Jaime and J.D singing onstage, that was until she felt a vibration in her pocket and a telepathic feeling that it was urgent. Digging into her pockets she found that it was the tracker that was vibrating, not her mobile. And she found that odd because it had never done that before. What it was doing though, was that it was telling her there was Time Storm affected bodybuilder nearby.
"Doctor!" She said and showed the Time Lord the re-acting tracker.
He raised his brows, a feeling of curiousness coming from him. "Oh, it's registering someone close by." He said and stood up, pulling Rose to her feet seconds later. "Let's find him shall we, allons-y!"
Rose and the Doctor let the tracker guide them and as they passed the bar it rapidly bleeped. Rose looked over at it but saw no-one other than the Thomas Newton-alike barman. She turned to the Doctor for an explanation.
"Looks like whoever was in here was stood at that bar long enough to leave residual energy." The Doctor told her.
The blonde nodded. It made sense.
They continued to follow the tracker's signal to outside and down the road until it sped up again. Ahead of them was a heavyset looking man who was about to go into the Bowie Inn.
"Hold on, excuse me!" The Doctor shouted and was able to stop the man. Rose felt suspicion from him as he turned to them. "So sorry to bother you, but..." He turned to Rose. "It is him, isn't it?" He asked her.
Rose held out the tracker towards the brown haired, green eyed man wearing a shirt with the Bowie Inn logo on it. It was one long beep. "Yeah, this is him!" She said.
The man, who continued to be suspicious, took a quick step back and looked from the Doctor to Rose, eyes narrowed. "Excuse me! What the hell are you doing? And what the hell do you want?" He asked rather defensively. He was American.
The Doctor stepped forward but didn't stray to close to the man as he looked ready to punch somebody. "What's your name?" He asked and Rose shook her head. As usual he was going about it the wrong way.
"What? I'm not telling a complete stranger that!" He angrily burst out.
Feeling his anger rising, Rose knew she had to be diplomatic. "My name is Rose, and this is the Doctor," she introduced. "Our tracker was following residual energy from a Time Storm and we followed it to you." This time she felt a hint of recognition from the man.
He was remembering something that happened a long time ago, a life on a different planet, an indoors tornado... "What do you want?" He asked, hoping they weren't more investigators of the paranormal. He'd had enough of them over the years.
"It's okay, we just want to know your name," Rose told him. "You were caught in a Time Storm on a Earth in 2001 along with the rest of your colleagues."
He let out a deep breath. "I haven't thought about that in years." He said which made Rose and the Doctor glance at each other with worry. That didn't sound promising. "It's Jason, by the way. Jason Cutler."
"Brilliant!" The Doctor said with a grin. "Nice to meet you, Jason. How long has it been?"
Jason didn't take long to reply. "Five years." He said and Rose thought he sounded happy. Could even feel it from him.
"That long? Well, today is your lucky day. We can take you back to your proper time."
Jason narrowed his eyes at the Doctor and took a quick step back. "Hold on, you can't just come here and tell me you're taking me back home. You can't just upend me like this." He shouted, catching the attention of several people waking by.
After Rose put the tracker away, she pulled the Doctor back from him.
"I've got jobs. I've got a family here. I'm not going back, I love it here."
Rose smiled uneasily at this. "It's okay, we're not forcing you to go back," she told him. "The Doctor's diplomatic skills aren't all that cracked up sometimes." The Time Lord protested this. "But if you want to stay then it's fine. We've got your colleagues on the TARDIS and we'll be taking them back home." Rose felt Jason begin to calm down.
"Okay, that's good to know. Being in that storm was really frightening. I didn't know where I was. I mean one minute I was on Earth and the next moment I was suddenly on another planet, in the future. I was lost and scared until Sareya found me and took me in. I've been with her ever since." He smiled and Rose felt his love and adoration for Sareya. "I've got to go. I've got work."
They watched as he turned away and walked into the Bowie Inn.
"Maybe this Time Storm was a good thing," Rose said. "Most of them found a happy life."
"Most of them?" The Doctor looked at her. "Two out of twelve found love. One was thrown into a Dimension Portal, one died, another was almost arrested, another one ended up being..."
"Okay, fine." Rose took his hand. "Let's go back."
When they returned to Ziggy Stardust's they saw that Jaime and J.D were still singing karaoke. Only now it was 'Space Oddity'.
"Ground control to Major Tom. Commencing countdown, engines on. Check ignition and may gods love be with you..." Jaime began to countdown while John sung the next part of the song as Rose and the Doctor sat back down in the booth.
Once the 'Karaoke King', as John took to calling himself, was relinquished of the karaoke machine to let someone else have a go, Jaime took him back to their booth.
Now he was snoring away beside her while Jaime was mulling over her sixth bottle of San Miguel. This was her first ever time drinking alcohol, yet she found it somewhat disturbing that she wasn't the least bit drunk. That was supposed to happen when people drank alcohol, wasn't it? She looked over at the snoring John who was drunk. So drunk she used her Telekinesis to stop him from falling over and hurting himself. So why wasn't she drunk? With a sigh she put the half full bottle back on the table.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Rose asked her. The blonde had picked up on Jaime's emotions...well, a hint of them. Even after drinking five and a half bottles of beer she still managed to keep her shields up.
"Aye. I've had the same amount of beer, well almost, as John. Yet he's sparked out and I'm fine. It's a wee bit odd." Her Time Lord part of her mind told her that Time Lords had a quicker metabolism. But that wasn't right because she was only Half-Time Lord like John.
"Oh, yeah. We were discussing this earlier while you two were busy singing." Rose told her.
The teenager furrowed her brow at Rose, surprised they'd been discussing it. "Uhh...okay, so wha' is it?" She asked, sounding annoyed.
"You've got the same metabolism as the Doctor."
Jaime shifted in her seat and shook her head. "Nae, nae. I'm only Half Time Lord, not a full one like the Doctor." She replied.
"It's not about being a Time Lord, Jaime." The Doctor spoke up. "It's your own abilities. You heal quickly, therefore you have a quick metabolism. You can't get drunk no matter how much beer, wine, spirits or vodka you drink."
They noticed Jaime seemed to huff and felt a slight hint of annoyance.
"I thought you would have known?" Rory asked.
Jaime shook her head. "Nope, I didnae know." She said.
"Were you wanting to get drunk?" Rose asked her and worry washed off her. This time Jaime just quietly shook her head. "Because alcohol may be nice and something to drink at the end of a long day. But being actually drunk is not a nice feeling. You become rude and sometimes violent. And then there's the next day hangovers." Rose told her.
This made the teen raise her brows at the older female. "Ye speakin' from experience are ye?" She asked.
Rose's face went red and the Doctor sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.
"Where did the two of ye gan off tae anyway?" Jaime asked them. She'd felt the telepathic prodding from the tracker telling her there was a Time Storm victim nearby. And she'd been too busy singing to follow them out.
"We found another bodybuilder and he works in the pub down the street."
Jaime perked up when she heard this. "Och, aye?" She said. "Is he comin' with us or is he stayin'?"
For the Doctor it was an odd thing for her to ask and even Rose found it strange. "Why do you say that?" He asked the teenager.
"It was the tracker," she replied. "It told me it had locked on tae a signal.
"What?" The Doctor looked and sounded baffled. "What do you mean 'it told you'?"
Before Jaime could answer, Rose spoke first.
"Doctor, I felt something telepathic trying to get my attention and then the tracker vibrated. It's never done that before."
"Let me have a look at it." The Time Lord requested and Rose passed it over to him.
He scanned the former phone with his Sonic and felt a hint of protesting in his mind. "Oh!" He exclaimed, eyes wide. "I'm sorry." He said to the tracker before looking up at Jaime. "When did you last modify this?" He asked.
Jaime frowned in thought. "It was when we went tae Freedonia." She replied. "I did it so I could connect and teleport tae their closest location."
"Yes, I remember." It was also when Rose went full-on Bad Wolf. "And I seem to remember you took it with you when you teleported into the Time Storm on the Nightmare Planet."
They felt and sensed a shudder from Jaime.
"What is it, Doctor?" Rose asked after taking hold of Jaime's hand, giving it a comforting squeeze.
"It's gone sentient, a mind of its own." The Doctor explained. "Perhaps it was constant exposure to the Vortex."
He handed it back to Rose who was looking at it in wonder.
Jaime snorted with humour. "A sentient BlackBerry? I bet if they were all like tha' everyone would want one!"
Rose and the Doctor chuckled at the joke while Rory looked confused.
"So wha' did he say?" Jaime asked them, considering she only caught half the conversation from the tracker.
"His name is Jason and he decided to stay." The Time Lord told her. "Been here five years and he has a family."
Jaime nodded silently, figuring that's what actually happened since he didn't come with them.
"Hey, look what I found!" Amy called as she came back from the toilets.
She was holding a book and the Doctor saw that it was the 'Official Biography of David Bowie'.
"Where did you get that from?" He asked rather suspiciously. They were in a Karaoke Bar, not a bookshop.
"They were outside the toilets on a stand," Amy replied. "Can get them for ten Peso's or for fifteen Credits."
Rory was looking at it as Amy sat down. "Why do Credits cost more than Peso's?" He asked.
"Inflation." Both Jaime and the Doctor said together.
The Time Lord looked at her with raised brows. "How do you know?" He asked and the teenager shrugged, frowning.
She wondered how she knew stuff about this Universe and felt that it wasn't to do with being an Omni-Psychic.
"Okay..." Amy ignored the weirdness between Jaime and the Doctor and looked back down at the book she had, opening it to its Contents page. "It's got everything here from beginning to...end..."
Amy and Rory looked at the last two Chapters on the page, which was 'Death' and 'Legacy'. Of course, it was the 52nd Century and the singer would have been dead for Centuries. But not for Amy, Rory and Rose. He was still alive in their time.
"How did he die?" Rory wondered and Amy started looking for the page number... That was until the book was snatched out of her hands by the Doctor. "Oi! What was that for?" She protested.
"A couple of things for starters. Knowing someone's death before it actually happens is Foreknowledge. Before you know it you're trying to interfere and messing with a fixed point in time."
"Bit like spoilers." Jaime added and cringed. Ever since River turned up in the Library episode she had really come to hate that word.
"Oh, come on! Isn't travelling with you one big spoiler?" Amy questioned the Doctor. He didn't give her an answer.
"When did he die anyway?" Rory asked.
"Let's just say he lived a long and happy life." The Doctor told him.
Jaime took the book off the Time Lord and made it disappear. Both Amy and Rory gawped at her.
"What did you just do with it?" Rose asked.
"Jus' sent it back tae where it was last." Jaime replied.
"You can do that?" Amy asked and the teen nodded her head.
The Doctor stood up. "Well, we best get going then," he said. "We only came for the Time Storm victim and he decided to stay anyway."
As he went to the Bar to pay using his Credit Stick he heard Amy and Rory questioning Rose and Jaime. And once he came back from the Bar he found Jaime carrying John. This would look strange and comical to everyone else in the pub, a female easily carrying a man in her arms.
"What are you carrying him for?" The Doctor asked the teen. "Didn't you wake him up?"
"Aye, I did jus' tha', but he fell asleep again." She told him.
The Doctor looked disgusted and Jaime and Rose felt it. "Then wake him up again. It'll be a long walk to the TARDIS and they'll..."
"It's okay, we'll jus' gan there direct." Jaime answered the Time Lord. "We'll see ye's back at the TARDIS." She and John disappeared before their eyes but it seemed no-one else saw it or even bothered to care.
They re-appeared in the Doctor's room on the right TARDIS. Jaime walked over to the bed with the snoring J.D and carefully dropped him on the bed, followed by pushing him into his side. That woke him up and he looked at her through sleepy eyes.
"I love you!" He slurred, whether because he was sleepy or drunk she didn't know.
She smiled and ran her hand through his hair. "And I love ye too, big boy!" She replied.
He grinned before closing his eyes and falling back to sleep. Sighing, Jaime decided to join him on the bed in a bid to keep him company.
