Time Crash

Martha leaves. The Doctor pulls a lever on the console. Alarms blare and the Tardis spins. There are briefly two Doctors.

"Ah, stop it! What was all that about, eh? Eh? What's your problem?" The Doctor asks about his machine.

"That's never happened before." Sophia notes.

"Right, just settle down now." The Fifth Doctor tells him to settle down as they bump into each other as they work their ways around the console."So sorry."

"What?" The Doctor asks his other counterpart.

"What?" The Fifth Doctor repeats the same thing as his older counterpart.

"What!" Both of the Doctor's shout in unsion.

"Who are you?" Sophia and the Fifth Doctor ask themselves.

"Oh, brilliant. I mean, totally wrong. Bit emergency, universe goes bang in five minutes, but, brilliant." The Doctor comments.

"I'm the Doctor. Who are you?" The Fifth Doctor asks him.

"Yes, you are. You are the Doctor." The Doctor agrees to him.

"Yes, I am. I'm the Doctor." The Fifth Doctor tells him.

"Oh, good for you, Doctor. Good for brilliant old you." The Doctor says.

"Is there something wrong with you?" The Fifth Doctor asks him.

"Yes, there is." Sophia lies.

"Oh, there it goes, the frowny face. I remember that one. Mind you, bit saggier than I ought to be. Hair's a bit greyer. That's because of me, though. The two of us together has shorted out the time differential. Should all snap back in place when we get you home. Be able to close that coat again. But never mind that. Look at you! The coat, the crickety cricket stuff, the stick of celery. Yeah. Brave choice, celery, but fair play to you. Not a lot of men can carry off a decorative vegetable." The Doctor explains about his fifth incarnation's changes.

"Shut up! There is something very wrong with my Tardis, and I've got to do something about it very, very quickly, and it would help, it really would help if there wasn't some skinny idiot ranting in my face about every single think that happens to be in front of him!" The Fifth Doctor shouts at him.

"Oh. Okay. Sorry. Doctor." The Doctor apoligizes.

"Thank you." The Fifth Doctor thanks him.

"Oh, the back of my head." The Doctor says.

"What?" Sophia asks him.

"Sorry, sorry. It's not something you see every day, is it, the back of your own head. Mind you, I can see why you wear a hat. I don't want to seem vain, but could you keep that on?" The Doctor asks his fifth incarnation to keep his hat on.

"What have you done to my Tardis? You've changed the desktop theme, haven't you. What's this one, coral?" The Fifth Doctor asks if he changed it.

"You changed it?" Sophia inquires.

"It's worse than the leopard skin." The Fifth Doctor complains as he puts on his half moon spectacles.

"Oh, and out they come, the brainy specs. You don't even need them. You just think they make you look a bit clever." The Doctor comments as an alarm whoops.

"That's an alert, level five, indicating a temporal collision. It like two Tardises have merged, but there's definitely only one Tardis present. It's like two time zones or more at the heart of the Tardis. That's a paradox that could blow a hole in the space time continuum the size of. Well, actually, the exact size of Belgium. That's a bit undramatic, isn't it? Belgium?" The Fifth Doctor explains the alarm which he finds out is the size of Belgium as the Doctor offers his sonic screwdriver.

"Need this?" The Doctor asks if the Fifth Doctor needs the Sonic Screwdriver.

"No, I'm fine." The Fifth Doctor says.

"Oh no, of course, you liked to go hands free, didn't you, like hey, I'm the Doctor. I can save the universe using a kettle and some string. And look at me, I'm wearing a vegetable." The Doctor says.

"Who are you?" The Fifth Doctor asks him who is really to him.

"Take a look." The Doctor says.

"Oh. Oh, no." The Fifth Doctor reliases.

"Oh yes." The Doctor agrees.

"You're. Oh, no." The Fifth Doctor still gasps about his potential future incarnation.

"Here it comes. Yeah, I am." The Doctor says.

"A fan." The Fifth Doctor says.

"Yeah. What?" The Doctor asks what it means.

"This is bad. Two minutes to Belgium." The Fifth Doctor complains.

"What do you mean, a fan? I'm not just a fan, I'm you." The Doctor asks what he means by a fan.

"Okay, you're my biggest fan. Look, its perfectly understandable. I go zooming around space and time, saving planets, fighting monsters and being well, let's be honest, pretty sort of marvellous, so naturally now and then people notice me. Start up their little groups. That LINDA lot. Are you one of them? How did you get in here? Can't have you lot knowing where I live." The Fifth Doctor explains his coolness and the fans of the Doctor.

"Listen to me. I'm you, I'm you. I'm you with a new face. Check out this bone structure, Doctor, because one day you're going to be shaving it." The Doctor says as the cloister bell tolls.

"The cloister bell!" The Fifth Doctor shouts.

"Right on time. That's our cue." The Doctor says as all three Time Lords both start throwing control levers.

"In a minute we're going to create a black hole strong enough to swallow the entire universe!" The Fifth Doctor explains.

"Yeah, that's my fault, actually. I was rebuilding the Tardis, forgot to put the shields back up. Your Tardis and my Tardis, well the same Tardis at different points in its own timestream collided and whoo, there you go, end of the universe, butterfingers. But don't worry, I know exactly how this all works out. Watch. Venting the thermobuffer, drawing the Helmic regulator, and just to finish off, let's fry those Zeiton crystals." The Doctor explains what he did which was due to the rebuilding of the Tardis thanks to the Master and the Paradox Machine.

"You'll blow up the Tardis." The Fifth Doctor says.

"No, I won't. I haven't." The Doctor tells him.

"It might be a lie." Sophia says.

"Who told you that?" The Fifth Doctor asks him.

"You told me that." The Doctor says as they fade into a whiteout.

"Supernova and black hole at the exact same instant." The Fifth Doctor starts to explain.

"The explosion cancels out the implosion." The Doctor continues.

"Pressure remains constant." Sophia says. "It's brilliant."

"Far too brilliant. I've never met anyone else who could fly the Tardis like that." The Fifth Doctor says.

"Sorry, mate, you still haven't." The Doctor tells him.

"You didn't have time to work all that out. Even I couldn't do it." The Fifth Doctor tells him.

"I didn't work it out. I didn't have to." The Doctor reveals.

"You remembered." The Fifth Doctor says.

"Because you will remember." Sophia says.

"You remembered being me watching you doing that. You already knew what to do because I saw you do it." The Fifth Doctor explains.

"Wibbly wobbly." The Doctor says.

"Timey wimey!" All of them finish as the Doctor and Sophia high five, smiling to each other.

"Right, Tardises are separating. Sorry, Doctor, time's up. Back to long ago. Where are you now? Nyssa and Tegan? Cybermen and Mara and Time Lords in funny hats and the Master? Oh, he just showed up again, same as ever." The Doctor asks about his life as he reminds him about the Master.

"Oh no, really? Does he still have that rubbish beard?" The Fifth Doctor asks about his appearence.

"No, no beard this time. Well, a wife." Sophia explains.

"Oh, I seem to be off. What can I say? Thank you, Doctor." The Fifth Doctor says.

"Thank you." The Doctor thanks him.

"I'm very welcome." The Fifth Doctor responds as he vanishes. The Tenth flips some switches and brings him back to return his hat.

"You know, I love being you. Back when I first started at the very beginning, I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you're young. And then I was you, and it was all dashing about and playing cricket and my voice going all squeaky when I shouted. I still do that, the voice thing. I got that from you. Oh, and the trainers, and..." The Doctor explains as he puts his spectacles on."Snap. Because you know what, Doctor? You were my Doctor."

"To days to come." The Fifth Doctor hopes.

"All my love to long ago." The Doctor wishes as the Fifth Doctor vanishes and Sophia wipes her tears away.

"Oh, Doctor, remember to put your shields up."

But just as he presses the button, there is the sound of a ships horn and a prow comes crashing into the console room/

"What? What!" The Doctor asks what is happening as he picks up a life belt. It says Titanic."What?"
