The TARDIS stopped moving, Pamp opening her eyes as she realized she wasn't flying the TARDIS anymore.
"Okay," Barty says, "This is where we separate and pair into groups. Now, I've got Martha with a phone so who else has one?"
Donna, Rose, Rory, Amy, Jess, Amanda, Carl, and Jack rose their hand.
"Alright, we'll need to split you all up evenly, so counting Marth we have one…. Two, three… four…. Nine people with a phone."
"In total, we have twenty four people, counting Total and Chimichanga but not Martha."
"Okay, so, what's one third of twenty four?" asked Barty.
"Oh, forget the math," said Max, "Just… separate yourselves."
"No, no, no, no, no," said Eyebrows, walking over to his chalkboard, "This is simple." He turned around and started writing an equation on the board, the white chalk sliding gracefully over the surface. When he stepped back, everyone stared at the board, awe struck.
"I think you'll find that your answer… is eight."
"Ummm… that's a unicorn." said Gazzy pointing to the board.
Eyebrows turned to the board, looking at his own drawing; a horse with a horn underneath a rainbow, and then turned back to everyone else, "Lovely, isn't it?"
"Um… sure?" said Gazzy, still staring at it.
"Never mind the pony," said Sandshoes. "Eight of us need to go to 1960 and the others need to go help Sally Sparrow."
"Maybe we should classify ourselves," said Max, "Make sure everyone has the same amount abilities on their side."
"Done," said Eyebrows, turning to the board and starting a chart that sorta looked like this:
People with phones: Nine (counting Martha)
Winged creatures: Nine
Animals: Two
Doctors: Six
Others: Two
Eyebrows stepped away from the board, looking proud.
"Hold up," said Jess, "Those numbers don't add up. There are twenty five of us counting Martha… but the numbers on the board add up to twenty seven."
Eyebrows frowned. "Well, some of you have multiple traits. How am I supposed to know which area to put you in?"
"Alright, alright, alright," said Bowtie, "This is useless. Enough with the math, with the exact numbers. You guys are making my brain hurt. Let's start with this. Who are the ones that can absolutely not be separated?"
There was a lot of scuffling of feet as everyone scrambled to stand next to the people they wanted most.
Jess and Amanda were basically one person considering how hard they were holding on to each other.
Rory had his arm over Amy who was looking at him a bit weird but didn't scoot away.
Gazzy and Iggy were standing next to each other, hoping that they would be on the same side of time.
Senna and Pamp were standing off to the side, knowing they had a completely different job anyway.
Total was standing up on his hind legs, using Nudge's shoe to support himself.
Chimichanga was clinging for dear life onto Carl's head as Carl tried to swat her away. "Get off of me!" Carl said as he swung his hand at Chimichanga, missing, and hitting himself instead.
"I shall never let go!" yelled Chichanga, using her voice changer thing to make her voice deep and determined and sounding kinda like a pirate.
Bowtie dismissed them as he starting separating everyone into two groups.
Nudge and Total were the only ones on the 1960s side so far.
Amy and Rory, Gazzy and Iggy, and Amanda and Jess were on the Sally Sparrow side. After a lot of fighting, Bowtie also got Chimichanga and Carl both on to the Sparrow side, despite the fact that they would be together.
Bowtie then moved to the people who hadn't chosen someone they wanted to be with.
Rose and Donna were both destined to go to 1960 along with Phoenix and Angel.
Jack, Max and Fang went to go stand with the Sparrows.
Bowtie then came upon the Doctors.
Sandshoes and Spock would be with Sally while Grandad, Barty, Eyebrows, and Bowtie - himself - would go back to 1960.
"Well, I'm glad that's settled," said Iggy, "Can we go save the world now?"
"Of course!" said Bowtie, "Let's go save the Earth!"
...….. End of this Chapter …..
"No, no, no!" said Sandshoes. "We are not ending another chapter like that."
"No kidding," said Spock, "Honestly, Hetamax, switch things up a bit, geez."
