The scene mentioned in this chapter can be found on YouTube. Just type 'tonight's the night doctor who' if you want.
Now Jaime sat with the Krafayis in the garden, everyone else but Rose and the Doctor stayed away from it for the moment. She had managed to convince Bycky, as she was called, to show herself to everyone else. So, as soon as the Doctor saw her, he went completely gaga over it. Rose rolled her eyes as he called it beautiful, astonishing, gorgeous, while stroking Bucky's scaly, horny head.
"And what am I? Chopped liver?" Rose snarked, jealousy washing off her.
The Doctor ignored the comment but frowned when he noticed how unfocused Bucky's eyes were. "What's wrong with her?" He asked, pulling out his Sonic Screwdriver.
Only it was pushed away by Jaime. "I already told ye wha' was wrong with her." She said.
Feeling confused, the Time Lord narrowed his eyes at her. "Did you? When was that?" He asked.
"The images I sent ye. The headless chicken and the Guide Dog!" Jaime replied to him. "I though' ye would have worked it out."
The blank expression on the Doctor's face said it all and Rose laughed, scaring Bycky a bit.
"What?" The Doctor asked, looking from Rose to Jaime who was shaking her head in disbelief.
How come he still didn't get it?
"Guide Dogs, Doctor," Rose spoke up. "They lead the blind."
A look of realisation appeared on his face. "Oh, yes. Of course!" He tugged at his ear sheepishly, his face red out of embarrassment. "No wonder it's here on Earth."
Van Gogh approached them, warily keeping his eye on the Krafayis. "Doctor, please tell me, what exactly is that creature and where did it come from?" He asked while Jaime shuddered and raised her shields to maximum in order to protect herself and Bycky.
"Right." The Doctor stood up. "The Krafayis are Nomadic pack animals with no specific planet. They travel though Space, going from planet to planet,"
Van Gogh looked up at the night sky.
"Their hierarchy is strictly dominant. They have huge territories spanning several Solar Systems and their preferred habitat are planets with oxygen and nitrogen based atmospheres." The Doctor took a deep breath before continuing. "But this one is blind and most likely been abandoned by its pack."
"Which is why we're keepin' her." Jaime spoke up, the Doctor looking at her with a raised brow.
"Are we?" He asked out of surprise.
"Aye! We cannae jus' leave her on her own. She'd only die or get attacked or somethin'. The TARDIS could help her, be a guide dog for her."
For a moment the Doctor looked insulted she had called his TARDIS a dog, but her wide, pleading eyes soon got to him. He sighed and shook his head. "Oh, fine. Just remember though, she needs a proper habitat."
Jaime grinned. "Thank ye!" She said. Standing up, she gently tapped Bycky on her shoulders to let her know what she was doing. The Krafayis stood up and she kept her hand on the creatures neck. "Come on, let's gan back tae the TARDIS." Jaime clucked/growled and they began to exit the garden.
The Doctor and Rose frowned in confusion while Van Gogh went back into the house.
"Wait, where are you going?" The Time Lord called to her and Jaime looked back at him.
"Tae the TARDIS." Jaime replied.
"What? So you're not going to stay for awhile?" Rose spoke up. "Maybe help Vincent out?"
Jaime glanced at the house where she could feel Van Gogh's emotions seeping through her. She wasn't even sure how he was doing that, yet Rose seemed fine.
The Doctor approached her. "What is it that's bothering you?" He asked the teen.
"It's his emotions," she answered him. "They're up and down like a storm at sea. I cannae handle 'em."
The Doctor looked confused. "You have your Shields don't you?"
Jaime let out an exasperated sigh. "Aye. They're up but I can still feel him. I dinnae know how he's daein' it." Then she looked away and shifted on her feet. "Maybe it's somethin' tae dae wi' wha' I did earlier. It's jus' too much."
Oh, well maybe it was a good idea to leave halfway through this adventure if it was upsetting her.
"Doctor!" Jaime called and he looked at her.
"Yes?" He inquired.
"Ye have tae help him, ye have tae get him tae see tha' he is loved, tha' his art is appreciated."
Confused, the Time Lord frowned. "And how are we supposed to manage that then?" He asked incredulously.
"Show him!" Jaime told him. "Show him how much his work is appreciated in the future."
Furrowing his brow, the Doctor paced a little, thinking.
"That's not a bad idea." Rose spoke up.
The Doctor looked at her, then at Jaime. If this was one of her episodes then it made him wonder what his TV-Self did.
"Okay, what did he do?" He asked Jaime.
She frowned before realising he was asking about the show. "He and Amy took him tae a French Art Museum in 2010 tae show him how much his art was appreciated." And mainly because Amy thought time could be rewritten with him.
The Doctor's eyes widened and he looked shocked. "What?" He uttered and paced, running his hands through his hair. "No, no!" He shook his head. "I'm not going to take a man out of his time just to show him something in the future. Do you realise how utterly dangerous that is!"
Before Jaime could reply to him they heard Rose snort, followed by; "Say's the man who tried to take a French tart with him."
He looked at Rose out of surprise. Wondering where that had come from, while Jaime shook her head. Van Gogh appeared to be affecting Rose after all!
"Well, wha'ever ye dae, find some way for him tae know he was loved. We gotta go." Jaime and the Krafayis disappeared in a flash.
"Okay,..." The Doctor rubbed the back of his neck and turned to Rose, eyeing her carefully in case she snapped at him again. He still couldn't understand why she mentioned Reinette. That had been years ago...and a lot more for Rose. "So...uhh...what do you suggest?" He nervously asked and wondered, rather scarily, if she was going to insist on forcing him into chastity again.
Rose was about to reply when she frowned, dug into her jacket pocket and pulled out the tracker-now-sentient phone. "Hold on, BB has an idea."
He blinked and then chuckled at her words. "BB? You gave it a name?"
Rose shook her head. "No, wasn't me. I think it might have named itself. And it suggested a projection."
Narrowing his eyes, the Doctor thought about the idea and reluctantly nodded his head. "Yes, I suppose that would work. Brilliant!" He exclaimed and turned to Amy and Rory as they walked down the steps. "Where's Vincent?" He asked.
It was Rory who spoke up. "He's in his room, but I'd give it awhile. He's having one of his moments."
"Ah, right." The Doctor uttered with a grimace.
Jaime and Bycky appeared in the TARDIS console room and just for a moment the Krafayis clucked and growled when she was startled by the sudden change in her surroundings. She could feel, hear and sense it.
"It's okay, Bycky," Jaime clucked/growled to the Krafayis. "Ye're safe now. Naebody is gonna tae harm ye." She felt an enquiring from the TARDIS and turned to the console. "This is Bycky, a Krafayis and she's blind. D'ye think ye could help guide her around?" Jaime requested.
The TARDIS seemed to actually a huffy moment.
"Please!" Jaime begged. "Jus' until I can find an alternative." She could use her healing powers but she didn't want to startle the Krafayis at this point.
The TARDIS let out an exasperated sigh and pushed her way into the Krafayis' mind.
Bycky felt a strange pressure in her mind and let out several scared growls, her tail swishing about anxiously.
"Easy now, easy." Jaime caught the Krafayis. "It's jus' the TARDIS, she's helpin' ye."
Bycky calmed down and clucked/whistled as she looked around at her surroundings before turning to Jaime. The teenager smiled when she felt confusion from the bird creature. The Krafayis could see Jaime, actually see her. But not with her eyes, her mind. It was odd and overwhelming, however she was thankful to be able to actually see.
"Ye okay now?" Jaime clucked a question and Bycky happily clucked back in reply. "Beezer! Follow me then."
They walked through to the inner TARDIS and the Time Machine had apparently created a Krafayis friendly habitat for Bycky. She wondered why the big bird couldn't live with Falcor in the Machu Picchu garden, only the TARDIS told her that Red Carnivorous Maw's and Krafayis' was a bad mix. So Jaime decided she didn't want to risk it.
As they neared the designated room, Jaime began thinking of ways to help the the Krafayis to see again considering the TARDIS was only temporary. However, if whatever she would try to create didn't work, she could always use her healing powers.
They reached the room and Jaime opened the door, the Krafayis walking in first, followed by the teen. This room wasn't a garden of any kind. In fact it was a perfect replica of a planet that Jaime wasn't wasn't familiar with. There was a meadow of blue-grey grass, which appeared to have other Krafayis running about. The sky was a deep blue with one small purple sun.
"Wha' is this planet called?" Jaime wondered as she watched the other Krafayis running about. They appeared to be Hard-light Holograms.
The TARDIS told her it was called Amanopia but there was no records of such planet in her Time Lord mind, yet the name seemed familiar. Her next thought was that she hoped Bycky had something to eat in the Amanopia garden, until those thoughts were answered when a three-tailed purple furred creature the size of a large wildcat ran by, making Jaime squeak out in surprise.
"Wha' was tha'?" Jaime exclaimed as Bycky clucked happily and ran after the creature with her clawed paws outstretched.
Her Time Lord part of her mind told her it was a Speelfox.
"Tha' was a Speelfox?" But then she remembered a Sontaran in 'The Poison Sky' mention a Speelfox. "But aren't they native to Sontar?" She asked.
Her Time Lord mind told her that the blue two-tailed Speelfox was only native to Sontar. It's cousins were the three-tailed purple Speelfox and the bobtailed, long haired grey Speelfox of Ruta.
"But...tha' would mean Amanopia is in the same Galaxy. Perhaps neighbours even."
The Time Lord part of her mind was quiet once again, giving her no explanation about the planet. So Jaime manually looked for it instead...and still couldn't find anything.
"Hold up! Why isn't there any info on Amanopia?" She inquired.
In answer the TARDIS showed her an image or video of a blue hat wearing alien at the helm of the TARDIS. This was followed by Captain Jack entering and asking where the Doctor was. The scene felt vaguely familiar and she understood why, when seconds later the Doctor entered the TARDIS. Only it wasn't the Doctor because he was wearing regular clothing, t-shirt, jacket and jeans.
Jaime squealed and put her hands over her mouth, her eyes wide. "Oh my god! I cannae believe ye did tha'." She said, voice muffled. "Oh, Rassilon. Ye did! Ye actually created a planet based on tha' little scene from 'Tonight's the Night'. Ye clever TARDIS!"
The TARDIS hummed at the compliment and Jaime laughed as Bycky caught the Speelfox and ripped it to shreds.
She wasn't even mad the TARDIS had raked around in her mind to find that small scene that wasn't even canon. Then the TARDIS nudged her mind and she was shown an image of John shifting in the Medbay bed.
"Is he wakin' up?" Jaime asked and the TARDIS confirmed it. "Fan-dabby-dozy." She uttered, gave Bycky one last glance and exited the Amanopia room.
