Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who….

A/N: Before we start this story, just wanted to explain a few things that might confuse people if they haven't read my Just a Bit Unlikely story and my Just One Second Story, which I suggest you read that first otherwise you will have no idea what's going on. After The Master regenerated, Donna and Jenny couldn't deal with this version of The Master and they left the Tardis to start a normal life on Earth. So for this story it'll be just Rose, The Doctor and The Master. And Benedict Cumberbatch is playing The Master so expect sarcasm.

A/N 2: Also, to the viewers who liked this story and saved it, I took it down because I simply lost inspiration for this story. But ever since I've been watching series 8, I got my mojo back, so hopefully I can write more chapters for you guys.

Anyway, on with the story.


Chapter One: The Eleventh Hour: Part one


Every house on Earth had a history, and this one was special. The garden was overgrown, the shed was old and the gate was creaking as the wind pushed in back and forth. Inside the house was a little red head girl, dressed in her pyjamas and a red dressing gown, all dressed for bed. But this little girl was scared. Scared of the crack in her wall and she couldn't go to sleep in her bedroom.

The little girl knelt down by her bed and prayed. "Dear Santa. Thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you, but honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall," She trailed off as she glanced at the wall. "Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know it's not, because at night there's voices, so please, please, could you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman. Or a…"

Before she could continue, a loud crash could be heard outside her house.

"Back in a moment," the little girl said before she got up and walked to her window with a flash light in her hand. A blue police box crashed her garden shed. Aunt Sharon will not be pleased. "Thank you Santa," She whispered smiling before she went outside to investigate.

….

Three people groaned as they climbed out of the pool, soaking wet.

"Never letting you drive again," Rose muttered angrily, glaring at The Doctor, wringing out the water in her purple leather jacket.

The Doctor spluttered. "It wasn't my fault," he replied. "He, messed up my controls," he added, pointing a finger at The Master while talking off his brown pinstriped jacket.

The Master raised an eyebrow. "Face it my dear Doctor, I'm a much better driver than you," he said, smirking.

"I started driving a Tardis before you even left Gallifrey," The Doctor growled.

The Master glowered at his rival. "At least I didn't abandon my family and friends when they needed me."

Rose sighed. "Can we please find out where we are?" she asked before The Doctor could reply.

The Doctor looked around the library for a moment before he grabbed a rope with a hook. Using his sonic screwdriver, he opened the doors which made Rose raised an eyebrow.

"Hang on! The sonic doesn't do wood," Rose said.

The Doctor grinned. "I upgraded it when I was stuck in that parallel world," he replied. As he threw the hook it latched on to something which made it stayed put.

The Doctor turned to The Master and grinned. "Age, before beauty," he said cheekily.

The Master huffed. "We're the same age," he muttered before he climbed up the rope. When he reached the top, he looked out and raised an eyebrow. "Who the hell are you?" he asked rudely. "… I fell down to the Library. Hell of a climb," The Master sighed heavily. "… I was in the swimming pool… And so was the swimming pool. Can I have an apple by the way? I'm hungry."

Rose turned to The Doctor with a raised eyebrow. "Wonder who he's talking to," she mused.

The Doctor shrugged. "How should I know? I'm not his brain."

"… Why would I be a policeman? Hate them monkeys, so useless and get in the way of everything… What crack?" The Master asked before he clutched his chest and fell out of the Tardis with a grunt.

Rose and The Doctor looked at each other before they sighed and climbed out of Tardis. They found The Master on the floor, gasping for breath and a little red head girl looking at them with a mixture of shock and curiosity in her expression.

"Hello, who are you?" Rose asked gently, bending down to the girl's height.

"I'm Amelia Pond," the little girl said slowly.

The Doctor grinned as he finished checking The Master. "Ah, Amelia Pond lovely, like a fairy tale."

"Does the crack in the wall scare you?" The Master butted in, getting up slowly, running a hand through his messy dark curls.

Amelia nodded. "Yes…"

The Master clapped his hands together and looked at Rose and The Doctor. "We have a crack in a wall that possibly has something exciting to look at," he grinned before turning to Amelia. "Right, I'm The Master, That's The Doctor and this is Rose, do as we say, don't ask annoying, obvious questions and don't wonder off," he added before he turned and walked into a tree.

"Are you alright?" Amelia asked him, looking at him with her flashlight.

Rose smirked. "Let's just say that his steering is a bit off," she told her, ignoring The Master glaring at her as he got up.

This new version of The Master is gonna be interesting.

….

"If you're a doctor, how come your box says police?" Amelia asked The Doctor while giving The Master an apple.

The Master sighed and took a bite out of the apple, only to spit it back out.

"Master!" Rose scolded as she jumped out of the way.

The Master coughed and spluttered. "That's an apple!"

"Yes…" Amelia said slowly.

The Master shook his head. "I hate apples!"

"But you said you loved them," Amelia argued.

The Master sighed. "What else do you have?"

Amelia shrugged and looked in the fridge. "We have left over Chinese…"

The Master thought about it and nodded. "That'll do."

As Amelia gave The Master his food, Rose looked around and frowned.

"Where's your mum and dad? Thought they would've woken up by now with his racket," Rose said, ignoring The Master's glare as he swallowed a mouthful of noodles.

Amelia looked down into her bowl of ice cream with a frown. "I don't have a mum or dad… just an aunt," she said quietly.

"I don't even have an aunt," The Doctor joked.

Amelia looked at him with a smile. "You're lucky."

The Doctor nodded. "I know. So where's your aunt?"

"She's out…"

"And she left you all alone," Rose gasped.

"I'm not scared," Amelia argued.

The Master swallowed his food. "Course she isn't. Look at her, just sitting there while three strangers fell out of a box, soaking wet… so you know what I think," The Master said as he joined his hands together and placed them under his chin, staring at Amelia.

Amelia bit her lip. "What?"

"That it must be one hell of a scary crack in your wall," he said slowly making Amelia gulp.

They went upstairs next, Rose asked for a towel to dry her hair while the two Time Lords examined the crack in Amelia's room.

"You've had some cowboys in here," The Doctor commented as he traced the crack with his finger.

The Master snorted. "Don't be stupid Doctor. You can't get cowboys riding through children rooms."

The Doctor held up his hands in defence. "It could happen!"

"I used to hate apples," Amelia said softly before she walked into the room, holding a shiny red apple. "So my mum used to put faces on them," she added as she held out the apple to The Master.

The Master looked a bit put out making Rose and The Doctor smirk at one another.

"Thanks Fire Cracker," The Master said quickly, pocketing the apple. "I'll keep it for later. Maybe for an experiment." He then turned to The Doctor. "Well, the wall is solid. No possible signs of faulty building material, where's the draught coming from? So you know what I'm thinking?"

"What?" Amelia asked nervously as Rose laid a gently hand on her shoulder.

The Doctor nodded with a grim smile. "It's a crack," The Doctor replied. "But I'll tell you something funny. If you knocked this wall down, the crack would stay put, because the crack isn't in the wall."

Rose frowned. "So where is it then?"

"Everywhere. Throughout Time and Space," The Master said before frowning as he pressed an ear to the wall. "There's something else…."

"The voice," Amelia interrupted quietly. "Yeah…"

The Doctor looked around Amelia's bedroom before finding a glass at her bedside table. He emptied out the leftover water onto the floor, earning looks of disgust from Rose and Amelia before pressing it to the wall and held his ear to the base of the glass.

"Prisoner Zero has escaped!" a male's voice boomed through the glass.

The Doctor frowned. "Prisoner Zero…."

"…. Has escaped," Amelia finished making the three time travelers turn to her. "That's what I heard. What does it mean?" she asked.

The Master pushed The Doctor out of the way and pressed his hear against the wall. He heard the same thing. "It means you need a better wall Fire Cracker."

"There's a prison on the other side of this wall. And they've lost a prisoner. The only way to close the breach is to open it all the way. The forces will invert and it'll snap itself shut. Or…" The Doctor trailed off as he looked at Amelia nervously.

Amelia bit her lip. "What?" she asked softly.

"You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better?" The Doctor asked making Rose roll her eyes.

Amelia huffed in annoyance. "Yes…" she sighed.

"…. Everything's gonna be fine," The Doctor said as he and The Master stood next to Amelia and Rose.

Amelia felt someone grab her hand and turned to see Rose holding her hand tightly as The Doctor turned on his sonic and pointed it at the wall. The crack began to widen, blinding them with a bright light.

"Prisoner Zero has escaped. Prisoner Zero has escaped," A deep males voice repeated.

"Hello?" The Doctor called out and a giant eyeball pops out of the crack.

Amelia started to tremble. "What's that?" she whispered to Rose only to see that she was shocked as well.

A bolt of blue light hits The Doctor's leg as he fell onto the bed. He scrambled his pockets for his psychic paper.

The Master smirked. "See Fire Cracker, good as new."

"What's that thing? Was that Prisoner Zero?" Amelia asked.

Rose shook her head. "No, probably one of the prisoner guards," she replied.

The Doctor grinned. "Exactly Rose. And they've sent me a little message on the psychic paper. Prisoner Zero has escaped…"

"Why tell us that when we could hear him?" Rose asked curiously.

The Master pursed his lips. "Well… unless…."

"What?" Rose and Amelia asked together.

The Doctor's eyes widened. "Unless Prisoner Zero escaped through here. But he couldn't have. We'd know…" he then ran out into the corridor with Amelia following him.

Rose and The Master gave each other irritated looks before following The Doctor where he was turning around rapidly.

"What are you doing?" Rose asked, trying hard not to giggle as she stared at The Doctor.

"There's something I'm missing Rose… In the corner of my eye…" he trailed off as he stared at something that Rose couldn't see.

That was when the familiar sound of the cloister bell of the Tardis started to ring. The Master sighed heavily while Rose and The Doctor looked at each other with wide eyes.

"No no no no!" The Doctor shouted as he bolted down the stairs with Rose and The Master running after him. "I've got to get back in there. The engines are phasing. It's going to burn!"

Amelia looked confused. "But it's just a box. How can a box have engines?"

"Because it's not a box Fire Cracker," The Master replied as they ran outside straight to the Tardis.

"It's a time machine," Rose explained gently.

Amelia's eyes brightened as she grinned. "What, a real one? You've got a real time machine?" she asked excitedly.

The Doctor was busy untying the rope from the Tardis. "Not for much longer if I can't get her stabilized. A five-minute hop into the future should do it."

The Master snorted. "More like twelve years," he huffed under his breath making Rose elbow his stomach.

"Can I come with you?" Amelia asked quietly, biting her lip.

The Doctor shook his head. "Not safe in here. Not yet. Five minutes. Give me five minutes, I'll be right back."

Amelia sighed. "People always say that," she muttered bitterly.

The Doctor looked at Rose and The Master before he crouched down to Amelia's level. "Am I people? Do I even look like people? Trust me. I'm the Doctor,"

Rose smiled at Amelia. "Five minutes, okay?" she asked and Amelia nodded.

"See you soon Fire Cracker," The Master said as he jumped into the Tardis and landed in the pool.

Rose followed The Master and dived in.

The Doctor gave Amelia one big smile before he swung his legs over the edge. Amelia looked at The Doctor with a small smile.

"Allons-y!" The Doctor shouted as he jumped into the pool with the Tardis doors shutting behind him.

The Master and Rose were already at the console, putting the controls to make the Tardis dematerialize.

"You two can let me fly my ship!" The Doctor shouted as he dashed to the console, pushing buttons and pulling leavers.

Rose glared at him. "If I recall, you were in the parallel world for a year and left me alone with the Tardis. And I think I took a better job of looking after her wouldn't you say?"

"But I'm back now and I want to get back to Amelia as soon as possible!" The Doctor shouted as they landed on the moon.

The Master stopped what he was doing with a calculated frown on his face. "Why does that little ape interest you so much?"

The Doctor sighed and looked down. "She reminds me of my youngest daughter on Galifrey," he muttered quietly.

There was silence for five minutes when Rose placed a hand on The Doctor's shoulder. "Well then, better see if she is all packed."

The Doctor grinned as he dashed around the console, ignoring The Master's jibs as he landed the Tardis. Then he paused.

"What is it?" Rose asked.

"I've worked it out," The Doctor whispered and bolted out of the doors.

Rose and The Master sighed in unsion as they dashed out as well.

"Should we follow him?" Rose asked as they walked out of the Tardis.

The Master thought about it and shook his head. "No. he'll be fine," he replied as he leaned against the Tardis doors. Rose sighed and sat down on the grass, hoping that they could leave soon.

…..

The Doctor groaned as he blinked his eyes opened. At first he was confused until he realized he got hit by a cricket bat. The Doctor looked around before he noticed a police woman talking on her radio.

"White male, mid twenties, breaking and entering. Send me some back-up. I've got him restrained," she spoke into it with a Scottish accent. Then she turned to him. "Oi! You, sit still."

The Doctor looked around confused. "Cricket bat. I'm getting cricket bat," he rambled.

"You were breaking and entering."

The Doctor tried to get up but was stopped. He looked and saw that his hand was cuffed to the radiator. "Just what I needed. Wacked on the head with a cricket bat."

The police woman raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to shut up now? I've got back up on the way."

The Doctor looked at her confused. "Hang on, no, wait. You're a policewoman," he pointed out.

The police woman nodded. "And you're breaking and entering. You see how this works?"

The Doctor shook his head. "But what are you doing here? Where's Amelia?" he asked quickly.

The police woman straightened. "Amelia Pond?"

The Doctor nodded. "Yeah, Amelia. Little Scottish girl. Where is she? I promised her five minutes but the engines were phasing. I suppose I must have gone a bit far. Has something happened to her?" he babbled.

"Amelia Pond hasn't lived here in a long time," the police woman said quietly.

The Doctor narrowed his eyes. "How long?"

"… Six months…"

The Doctor shook his head. "No. Can't be right. I said five minutes. I promised. What happened to her? What happened to Amelia Pond?"

The police woman ignored him and spoke into her radio. "Sarge, it's me again. Hurry it up. This guy knows something about Amelia Pond."

The Doctor stared at the police woman. "I need to speak to whoever lives in this house right now."

"I live here."

The Doctor spluttered. "But you're the police!"

The police woman rolled her eyes. "Yes, and this is where I live. Have you got a problem with that?"

"How many rooms?" The Doctor asked, changing the subject.

The police woman blinked. "I'm sorry, what?"

"On this floor. How many rooms on this floor? Count them for me now."

"Why?" the police woman asked.

"Because it will change your life," The Doctor replied.

"Five. One, two, three, four, five," the police woman counted.

The Doctor shook his head. "Six," he corrected.

"Six?" The police woman asked.

"Look."

"Look where?"

"Where you don't want to look. Where you never want to look. The corner of your eye. Look behind you," The Doctor said, staring behind the police woman.

The police woman turned around and her eyes widened. "But… that's not possible. How is that possible?" she whispered.

"There's a perception filter all round the door. Sensed it the last time I was here. Should've seen it," The Doctor explained, becoming frustrated at himself.

The police woman started to walk towards it. "But that's a whole room. That's a whole room I've never even noticed," she muttered as if in a trance.

"The filter stops you noticing. Something came a while ago to hide. It's still hiding, and you need to un-cuff me now!" The Doctor shouted.

The police woman was near the door. "I don't have the key. I lost it."

"How can you have lost it? Stay away from that door! Do not touch that door! Listen to me, do not open that. Why does no-one ever listen to me? Do I just have a face that nobody listens to?" The Doctor said loudly. "Again," he muttered softly before checking his pockets. "My screwdriver, where is it? Sliver thing, blue at the end. Where did it go?" The Doctor asked as the police woman entered the room.

"There's nothing here!" The police woman shouted back.

The Doctor sighed. "Whatever's there stopped you seeing the room. What makes you think you could see it? Now get out of there!" he shouted.

"Silver, blue at the end?" The police woman asked.

"My screwdriver, yeah."

"It's here," she called back.

The Doctor frowned. "Must have rolled under the door."

"Yeah must've…. And then it must've jumped up onto the table…"

The Doctor's eyes widened. "Get out of there… Now! Get out of there!" he shouted while trying to pull himself free from the cuffs. "What is it?"

"…. There's nothing here but…" The police woman said but trailed off.

"Corner of your eye," The Doctor reminded her.

"…What is it?" she asked nervously.

"Don't try to see it. If it knows you've seen it, then it will kill you. Don't look at it. Do not look," he tried to warn her but then she screamed. "Get out!" he shouted and the woman came running back to him, giving him his sonic screwdriver. He tried to turn it on but the sonic seemed to be having trouble. "Come on, what's the bad alien done to you?" he muttered.

"Will that door hold it?" The police woman asked.

The Doctor snorted and rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, it's an interdimensional multiform from outer space and they're all terrified of wood," he replied, ignoring the police woman's glare.

Through the crack under the door, a bright light filled the room.

The police woman bit her lip "What's that? What's it doing?"

The Doctor shrugged. "I don't know. Getting dressed? Run. Just go. Your back up's coming. I'll be fine."

The police woman growled. "There is no back up," she snapped.

The Doctor raised his eyebrows. "I heard you on the radio. You called for back up," he pointed out confused.

The police woman sighed. "I was pretending. It's a pretend radio," she explained.

"You're a policewoman," The Doctor said.

"I'm a bloody kissogram!" the ex-police woman, turned kissogram said, taking off her hat to reveal long red hair as she glared at The Doctor.

The door blasted opened only to reveal a workman wearing overalls and had a tool belt strapped to his waist, holding a dog by his leash.

The kissogram blinked confused. "But that's just…" she trailed off looking at The Doctor for an explanation.

The Doctor smirked. "No, it isn't. Look at the faces," he pointed out.

The kissogram looked at the dog which was growling before noticing that the man was too. Then the man barks with the dog. "What? I'm sorry, but what?" she asked shocked.

"It's all one creature. One creature disguised as two. Clever old multi-form. A bit of a rush job, though. Got the voice a bit muddled, did you? Mind you, where did you get the pattern from? You'd need a psychic link, a live feed. How did you fix that?" The Doctor asked, aware that he was babbling as the man continued to growl.

Then the man opened his mouth to reveal long needle-like teeth.

"Stay, boy!" The Doctor shouted and the man and dog stopped growling. "Her and me, we're safe. Want to know why? She sent for back up," he lied.

The kissogram sighed. "I didn't send for backup!" she yelled annoyed as she eyed the man and dog nervously.

"I know. That was a clever lie to save our lives," The Doctor said quietly with a sigh. "Okay, yeah, no back up. And that's why we're safe. Alone, we're not a threat to you. If we had back up, you'd have to kill us," he added to the man and dog who started to walk towards them.

"Attention, Prisoner Zero. The human residence is surrounded. Attention Prisoner Zero. The human residence is surrounded," A booming voice shouted which made the man and dog go to the window.

"What's that?" The kissogram whispered.

The Doctor shrugged. "Well, that would be back up," he whispered back. "Okay, one more time. We do have back up and that's definitely why we're safe," he spoke louder.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."

"Well, safe apart from, you know, incineration," The Doctor added and while the man opened the window.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."

The Doctor was trying to make his sonic screwdriver work. "Come on, work, work, work, come on," he muttered as he managed to turn it on to free the handcuffs.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."

The Doctor turned to the kissogram as he stood up and grabbed her hand. "Run!" he shouted as they ran down stairs and out of the door.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."

The Doctor turned to the kissogram as he locked the front door. "Kissogram?" he asked as Rose and The Master ran over to him.

"Where's Amelia? What's going on?" Rose asked as The Doctor ran to the Tardis.

The kissogram rolled her eyes. "Yes a kissogram. Work through it." she replied as she stared at Rose and The Master with caution.

"Why'd you pretend to be a policewoman?" The Doctor asked, ignoring Rose who rolled her eyes.

The kissogram ran over to The Doctor. "You broke into my house. It was this or a French maid," she explained. "What's going on? Tell me. Tell me!"

"An alien convict is hiding in your spare room disguised as a man and a dog, and some other aliens are about to incinerate your house. Any questions?" The Doctor snapped as he tried to open the doors.

"Don't try Doctor, she's still rebuilding," The Master pointed out.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."

The kissogram sighed and grabbed The Doctor's hand. "Come on!"

As The Doctor, the kissogram, Rose and The Master ran, something made The Doctor turn and ran to the shed.

"No, wait, hang on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. The shed. I destroyed that shed last time I was here. Smashed it to pieces," The Doctor explained which made Rose and The Master turn to each other confused.

The kissogram shrugged. "So there's a new one. Let's go," she said, looking at her house nervously.

"Yeah, but the new one's got old. It's ten years old at least. Twelve years. I'm not six months late, I'm twelve years late" The Doctor realized as he did the math making Rose's eyes widened.

The Master rolled his eyes. "Only you can fly the Tardis and not stick to your time."

Rose sighed. "He did that when we first met. He took me a year late and his cheek never felt the same when mum slapped him," she added with a smirk.

"He's coming," The kissogram interrupted looking at the door.

The Doctor walked over to the kissogram. "You said six months. Why did you say six months?"

"We've got to go," the kissogram said, trying to distract him.

"This matters. This is important. Why did you say six months?" The Doctor asked.

"Well why did you say five minutes!" Amelia growled.

Rose, The Master and The Doctor's eyes widened.

"What?" The Doctor whispered.

"Come on," Amelia said quietly.

"What?" Rose asked.

"Come on!" Amelia snapped as she grabbed The Master's hand.

"There's always something," The Master muttered, shaking his head as the three Time Lords and Amelia ran off, away from Prisoner Zero.

"Prisoner Zero will vacate the human residence or the human residence will be incinerated."

A/N: So that's chapter one! Forgot to mention above that The Doctor regenerated into the 11th Doctor.

Please review :)

Thanks!
