Hey, second chapter now, more fluff with slight doctor humour. So, enjoy…

Oh, and please R&R because it makes me feel appreciated lol.

Jack was roused from his musings by a judder from the TARDIS, then a jerk, and suddenly, a muffled "ouch!" and then, "Jack, you're sitting on me."

"Oops, sorry." He said as he got up off a slightly ruffled looking Trinny. The Doctor's face appeared round the TARDIS controls, and seeing Jack and Trinny getting up and dusting themselves off he winced and said "sorry," and then, when the TARDIS jerked again, "I'm starting to think I really shouldn't have pushed that button."

Trinny just gave him an exasperated look and stomped off to retrieve her hairbrush from the cat's basket.

25th July 5000

It was the next day, and Jack was still there, still hunched up in a corner of a small, damp cell. Shockingly similar to one he'd once been in before, nice to see that it hasn't changed in about 4000 years he thought to himself.

"UP!" a voice barked at him as a guard unlocked the grille door.

He bit back several sarky retorts as he struggled up, using the wall for support. Jack was led out of the cell by a bulky guard, with two more almost identical ones outside the door. He felt the sudden urge to laugh out loud as he realised there similarity to Neanderthal men, but quickly quelled it as he noticed the rather big and rather shiny space blasters each of the guards held. This, Jack knew, could do quite nasty things to a persons insides. He wasn't aware of where the guards were taking him, but he thought it may be to see the governor. This thought worried Jack, particularly as he had had it off with the governor's wife only a year previous, and he was pretty sure that this memory wouldn't be one of those the governor would forget in a hurry. Jack gulped as he saw the dark, hard wood door getting closer and closer with each laboured step, and he new fine well, with sure certainty that doom was approaching.

Present day, TARDIS

"Oi, Jack!" Trinny was snapping her fingers in front of Jack's face and getting worried at his unresponsiveness.

"What!" Jack said, getting up with a start.

"Sorry, just you haven't moved in a couple of minutes." Trinny explained, giving him a worried look.

"Oh, its okay, what did you want?"

"I just thought I'd tell you that I'm gonna go to bed, you coming?"

"Yeah, in a minute" Jack replied, staring at the throbbing central part of the TARDIS column, it was still, showing they weren't in motion so they'd obviously grounded somewhere whilst he was lost in thought. Trinny just shrugged and headed off down one of the TARDIS' many corridors to where it had last left her bedroom.

It was later, and Jack could hear Trinny's soft breathing beside him as she snuggled further into the crook of his arm. He smiled, planted a kiss on top of her head and slowly closed his eyes, surrendering to sleep under the warmth of the duvet. It was now when his defences were down. It was now where he could go into the horror and utter terror that was his dream world. It was now he was the frightened little boy he once was. It was now, he felt truly alone.
