New Part!! Does a little Army dance for his one reviewer. Now orders for more to be given to him next time. One just doesn't cut it soldier! More to come soon, as soon as I get more then one review for this chapter. Sgt_Benton must also apologies for his own inability to review people, it just won't work. If anyone has the solution to this problem please tell me. That is all for now.
"Jamie, Jamie wake up." Encouraged Polly.
Slowly Jamie regained some semblance of consciousness, and swatted her away. "Oct it's too early." He grumbled, his voice slightly muffled where his head was still curled up in his other arm.
"And how would you know it's pitch black in here?" She retorted becoming frustrated by Jamie's apparent ability to sleep anywhere, anytime, and in any situation. Which when she thought about it really shouldn't surprise he any more, Jamie had been with the T.A.R.D.I.S. crew long enough now for her to know several of Jamie's annoying quirks. Like giving no thought at all when he stole food from the others plates, as if expecting that he was always welcome to it, which he most certainly was not! Some others consisted of loud sperattic snoring, fighting unseen foe's in the corridor with his dirk while screaming like a banshee, trying to fix things that where clearly centuries above his head, and the most aggravating one. The one that made her both happy and seriously angry at the same time was Jamie's apparent ability to be on whichever side the Doctor was on in an argument, a joke, or jut general banter. Polly had found it extremely hard to connect with this new energetic Doctor as well as she did the old him. She knew it was silly because he was the same person, but now they reacted differently to each other. Jamie was able to slip right in, she new it wasn't his fault, but their personalities were more compatible this time around. She had forgotten she was waiting for an answer from that very person when a defensive voice startled her out of her thoughts.
"A Scot knows, and I know it's time ta' sleep." Making a large the end of conversation noise he started curling himself up onto a tighter ball to prove his point.
Polly however took no notice in the almost total darkness, and was becoming even angrier. She was just about to start yelling at him about proper sleeping habit's when suddenly a new thought slowly crept into her mind causing her to loose all of her composure, as her anger suddenly gave way to fear. "Aren't you at all worried we have been here for hours and we haven't seen a single soul?"
"Maybe there invisible." Came the muffled reply.
"JAMIE!!" She scolded. She hadn't thought of that idea and hadn't liked it one bit, but then why were there attackers visible?
"Alright, alright the I donna' know what your on about there all probably ASLEEP so le' me get back to it, too." Jamie just couldn't understand her concern.
"Oh come on Jamie, what if they have forgotten about us, what if they decided to just leave us here?" Polly was suddenly very glad she had eaten a big meal before leaving the T.A.R.D.I.S.. However, she knew that Jamie hadn't but knowing him he would be hungry anyway and probably wouldn't admit to any physical discomfort, until that is, when he was face to face with a plate full of food.
"Well I wounna' worry about that now lassie the Doctor and Ben aren'ta here with us so that means they're out there somewhere, probably looking for us right now." Argued Jamie while lifting himself on to one arm fineally giving in to the fact he wasn't going to get back to sleep anytime soon.
"I suppose," Ventured Polly, "But must you be so calm about it."
"Lassie I've been locked up many a times before and hiding in wee caves...," Giving out an exasperated sigh Jamie resigned himself to the inevitable. "Alright I'll see if I canta' find a way outta' this wee box." Jamie hoisted himself to his feet and proceeded to scan the walls with his fingers for any sign of an opining.

"This is the place sir." Mogron said holding up a lamp above a small patch of the ground. The small group now found themselves in an enclosed woodland area. But it had grown so dark they could barley see anything that was not directly in the torches path.
"Yes hmm... it got dark rather fast didn't it?" Mused the Doctor.
"Fast sir? The sun rises and sets at the same speed?" Queried Jareth.
"I know, I know it is just that it is much faster then on most planets." The Doctor was now very wide eyed and innocent in his demeanor, as if he were nothing more than a mere child asking a silly question and getting a silly answer in response, but not realizing it. "Why didn't you say it was so close to dark?"
"The lights will be up again soon." At that moment large unseen lamps lit up simultaneously around the closed off section of the woodland. "They are right on time I see."
"Lamps do you, do you use them all the time?"
"No, we only use them setting up for the festival."
"No, no I didn't think so." Smiled the Doctor. "Ah.. you know I think it's rather nice, if a bit sterile. Now Mogron ware did you say the two of you found that?" He said pointing one again at Mogrons hand.
"Over here by this Karimon bush." He pointed out a small red prickly looking bush near the base of a tree. This plant was anything but sterile it seemed to be crawling all over the place like a gigantic weed suffocating every thing around it, but that did not take away from the natural beauty and grace of the thing. The was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about it, or the area around it at all that might give them any clues.
"I am afraid Doctor I didn't see anything here that will help you recover your friends."
"Oh dear I was rather hoping we'd find something but I am afraid I am forced to agree with you." He replied glumly. Not wanting to think of the possible implications of this, totally cleared his mind of all thought, it was then he heard it. With a forceful snap he turned and started sprinting towards the sound. "What's over here?" issued forth as the doctor stopped to listen for the something in the distance. Trying to get his bearings. The others quickly caught up with him and noticed he was listing to something.
"That is the sound of the falls Doctor." Mogron, finally realizing what the Doctor must have heard pointed to a large stream of water flying off the edge of a cliff like ridge. That was just visible through the dense forest.
"No not that area a..a sort of echoey sound aha here we are." With the Doctor leading the way, the little party now stood at the mouth of a small cave. "You still have that torch Mogron? Pass it over will you?" Mogron obeyed dutifully passing the Doctor his light.
"Your not going in there are you?" Jareth started with a shock.
"Well yes I am actually" The Doctor lit the white light lamp, and started moving through the mouth of the cave just as....
