A Recipe for Disaster

N/B: I know the Doctor would never associate with himself in a former form i.e. fifth Doctor, but it seemed like a good idea, to mix and match the two Doctors and their companions.

The ninth Doctor sat in the TARDIS smiling as his former self, (5), worked out how it was possible and why he was breaking the laws. After two gruelling walks through the forest he wasn't quite up for an argument, especially one this heated and complicated. He was pondering whether or not this indeed was a mistake when Tegan approached him.

"Um, Doctor? I was wondering, um, what are you doing here? This Doctor, he well can't get me back to Heathrow, could you take me?" Tegan questioned 9.

"Well, to answer your first question, my TARDIS was supposed to land in 2006, I was taking Rose to see her mother. And well, you know me, sorta, but the TARDIS has been, well, misbehaving lately. And to answer your second question, I'll have to ask 5 after he's cooled down. Don't tell him I told you so, but I used to fancy you," 9 answered.

Rose sat next to the Doctor, her heart shattering when he told Tegan he "fancied" her. She gripped his hand tighter - she'd been unable to let go earlier. Rose burst into tears, she wasn't up for this, seeing two Doctors, one of them yelling his head off, Tegan flirting with her Doctor and the other two passengers fiddling and clicking away at the TARDIS' controls. She let go of the Doctor's hand who didn't even seem to notice her grief. Jack however had and consoled her. He gave her one of his bear hugs, warm and comforting, Rose immediately felt better. Jack was like a brother to her. She couldn't imagine life in the TARDIS without him. Being human, she could also relate to him better than the Doctor. Nonetheless, her heart belonged to the Doctor.

Tegan was taken aback, the Doctor fancied her? It was possible. He was always criticising her, but in the back of her head, there was the reason that he had been unable to take her back to Heathrow. Now that she thought about it, it made sense, he pushed her away because he was afraid of getting too close to her. In her own heart Tegan knew she loved him back, but had been unable to let these emotions show. Tegan decided that it was time to seize the moment, show her Doctor her true feelings, if she didn't, he could slip through her fingers.

The fifth Doctor anger had cooled…………slightly. How could his future self do this? It was rule number one, "Never associate with a former self." He couldn't imagine it. 5 saw Tegan approach the Doctor and start talking. He had a half mind to go over there and yell some more. There was so much tension in the air it wasn't funny. Half of it was sexual tension too. If only, Tegan would never feel for him what he felt for her. As for Adric and Nyssa, they'd been quiet through the whole ordeal, mindlessly fiddling with the TARDIS. Suddenly, as if she had materialised out of thin air Tegan was standing right in front of him. Stopping his every move, she smirked, the Doctor had never seen this side of Tegan before, and it only made him love her more. He went to kiss her, but, well, Tegan beat him to it. At first the Doctor was shocked, but after a few seconds he returned her kiss with more fire and passion than he thought that he had. He never wanted it to end, and when it did he embraced her, hugged her and never wanted to let her go.

9 watched the fifth Doctor and Tegan embrace their love for each other. He then took Rose's hand, and pulled her in front of him. He looked into her red eyes and puffy cheeks; she'd been crying. 9 kissed Rose's hand and the stood up, he cupped her chin in his hands and gently placed a delicate, hungry kiss on Rose's lips.

"I thought, you fancied Tegan," Rose sobbed.

"I did, but with each regeneration, my thoughts can change, and I was 5 quite a long time ago. Trust me Rose, you're mine," 9 whispered.

With that, he embraced his love for Rose and hugged her, he never wanted to let her go. "Righteo, then, I'll guess we'll be off, good luck, and goodbye,"9 concluded.

With that, 9 took Rose's hand and Jack took her other and they were gone. Back to their TARDIS and the although it had been a few minutes ago it took Tegan and the fifth Doctor time to realise this, for they had been so engrossed in each other. Yes all in all it had been a fairly good day Adric thought; and he took Nyssa's hand. Their news could wait till tomorrow.

Well, that's the end of that. Please click the review button , you know you want to.  :P:P:P:P:P:P
