Hello readers! I have to tell you that I skipped the episode 'Father's Day.' And I am so so sorry. I just could not figure out how to put Harper into the store line. And plus I really wanted to get into write Jack's part. I also wanted to let you know I have created a polyvore accent and will have Harper's outfits for each chapter on there. Here is the link to my polyvore. .com Any was I really hope you enjoy this chapter it was fun to write.
"You know Doctor, you really need to learn how to drive this thing properly," I said after getting off the ground.
"Oi, I know how to fly her just fine. Thank you very much," he said with a very offended look.
Rose and I just laughed and walked out the doors into a dark alleyway looking place. "You know how long you can knock around space without having to bump into Earth?" The Doctor asked.
"Five days?" I asked and Rose added "Or is that just when we're out of milk?" I laughed as the Doctor made the comment "of all the species in all the universe and it has to come out of a cow."
"So doc, where is the dangerous thing we are looking for?" I asked as I walk a little ways ahead of Rose and the Doctor.
"First off don't call me doc!" He said as he pulled me back next to them, "and second, it must have come down somewhere quite close; within a mile, anyway. And it can't have been more than a few weeks ago. Maybe a month."
I made a fake shocked face and Rose said "a month? We were right behind it."
"It was jumping time tracks all over the place, we were bound to be a little bit out. Do you want to drive?"
"YES!" I said jumping up and down, but the Doctor ignored me. 'How rude Doctor!'
Rose said, "How much is a little?"
"A bit," he said
"Is that exactly a bit?" I had to ask. We were walking towards a club of some sorts and I was walking backwards to talk with Rose and the Doctor. I almost tripped but the Doctor grabbed my arm and steadied me before saying "ish."
I mumble thanks, a little embarrassed that I tripped, and Rose asked "what's the plan then? Are you gonna do a scan for alien tech or something?"
"Rose it hit the middle of London with a very loud bang. I'm gonna ask." The Doctor said holding out the psychic paper to Rose and I. Rose said "Doctor John Smith, Minster of Asteroids."
"It's psychic paper, tells you what…" the Doctor started but Rose finished it by saying, "whatever you want it to tell me. I remember."
The Doctor was about to say something, but I had to use this opportunity to confuse him by saying "but that piece of paper is blank." 'Well… I am not technically lying, it is blank,' I thought to my self.
"I'm sorry, what?" The Doctor asked with that adorable confused face of his, 'but not as cute as the 11th doctor's confused face.'
"The… paper… is… blank," I said it like I was talking to a five year old.
"Umm, well that's new," The Doctor said. "Well you know what they say first time for everything." I said as Rose and I laughed at the Doctor; then she added "Not very Spock, is it?"
"Door, music, people; what do you think?" The Doctor asked before moving me out of the way and started to work on the lock with his sonic screwdriver.
"I think you should do a scan for alien tech. Give me some Spock, for once would it kill you?"
I quietly said to myself "probably," but I am 90% sure the Doctor heard me, because he smirked a little before asking Rose, "Are you sure about that t-shirt?"
Rose pulled at her shirt before saying; "To early to say, I'm taking it out for a spin."
"Muuu-mmy, muuu-mmy." Rose and I both heard the voice and turned to look, just as the Doctor said, "come on if you two are coming. Won't take a minute." He went in side and Rose started to head towards the voice the way saying "muuuu-mmy."
"Doctor? Doctor? There's a kid up there." Rose had walked a little more away from the club and I had no idea what to do. 'Ok, on one hand, if I follow Rose I get to meet Captain Jack Harkness sooner but I have to be in the air hanging from a barrage balloon. And on the other hand if I follow the Doctor I get to meet Nancy, but I have to wait to meet Jack. Ugh what is a girl to do?'
"Are you all right up there?" I heard Rose ask and made my decision, "hey wait up Rose." I called as I made it to her the little boy repeated "muuuu-mmy."
Rose and I started up the stairs to the little boy.
Just as we got to the top of the building the little boy said "mummy."
"Okay, hang on don't move," I called to the boy getting a little caught up in the moment. Rose saw a rope and started to climb up the rope. 'Ugh,' I thought to myself as I to started to climb the rope.
Neither of us got far before the little boy said "mummy balloon." Just then the rope moved and Rose and I started flying over London, and not in a good way either. Both of us started yelled "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor."
Rose was flailing her legs about so much so that I yelled at her saying "Rose, quit moving your legs. You keep hitting me in the head."
"Oh sorry," she said as we both stopped and looked at what was before us. Planes and barrage balloons were everywhere and bombs were being dropped here and there around London. I looked at Rose and said "Okay, so maybe not that t-shirt."
She looked at me and nodded saying "yeah not this t-shirt."
Rose and I were trying to hang on as tight as we could, but the planes flying by and explosions were making it very difficult. When all of a sudden Rose lost her grip and fell, knocking into me causing me to fall as well. Both of us screamed as we were falling until suddenly stopped when a light beam came out of nowhere.
"Okay, okay, I've got you two," we heard a voice. "Who's got us? Who's got us, and you know how?" Rose asked frantically.
"Don't question it, just be glad he has got us." I told her earning a chuckle for the unknown voice.
"I'm just programming your decent pattern. Stay as still as you can and keep your hand and feet inside the light field." He said again, while I had to add, "are we on some kind of ride? Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times" I said in a weird voice.
The voice and I laughed while Rose asked "decent pattern?" But he ignored Rose and said "oh, and could you switch off your cell phone."
"What?" Rose asked and I had to think about the fact that I don't have a phone anymore, 'I bet the TARDIS has one lying around somewhere.'
"No, seriously it interferes with my instruments"
"You know no one ever believes that." Rose said as she got her phone to switch it off. "Thank you, that's much better," the voice said before Rose sarcastically replied, "Oh yeah that' a real load off that is. I'm hanging in the sky in the middle of a German air raid with a Union Jack across my chest, but hey my mobile phone is off."
I really wanted to comment on how sarcastic she was being, but just then I noticed how high we really were. I had been so caught up on meeting Captain Jack Harkness but I never realized just how high up we were. 'Your okay Harper, just breath. You are not going to fall, soon you will be in a ship safe and sound.' I told my self. Being afraid of heights is no fun when you are just chilling in the middle of the sky.
"Be with you in a moment." Neither Rose nor the voice noticed I had suddenly gotten really quite, but thankfully the voice said "Okay, I can only get one of you at a time. Ready petal?"
"What?" I asked worriedly before he said, "Hold on tight." I had just enough time to shout "WHAT?" before I was beamed down into the ship.
I closed my eyes as I went down, and the next thing I know I was in Harkness' arms in the ship. "Oh, hi" I waved awkwardly at him. He chuckled before saying "Hello petal."
"Ok, first off, put me down" I wiggled my way out of his arms and said, "second what's with the petal name?"
"Your skirt. I don't know your name so it just seemed to fit."
"Oh, that makes since. I just thought you were crazy." We both laughed and the heard Rose yell "Hello? Don't forget about me!"
"Well, I better go and get her are you going to be okay?" He asked looking slightly worried. "I am fine, but I think I am just going to sit down and rest for a second." I quickly sat down worried myself I might faint.
It was a lucky thing I sat when I did, because the next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor of Jack's ship and Rose was waking up on the bed. "Are you better now?" Jack asked from his sit at the front of the ship.
"Do you have any lights in here?" I asked and immediately regretted for the light was a little too bright.
"Hello" Jack said and Rose followed saying "hello" also; in which, Jack had to reply with "hello."
"Oh, lets not start this game. It can get very annoying." I said making both of them look away laughing. "So now that we have said hello properly, who are you supposed to be?" I asked coming up to where Rose was standing a little bit closer to Jack.
"Captain Jack Harkness. 133 squadron royal air force. American Volunteer." Jack said before handing me the psychic paper.
Rose looked over my shoulder before I said "liar." Then Rose said, "This is psychic paper. It tells us whatever you want it to tell us."
"And how do you know?"
"Two things, one." Rose said and I finished it for her by saying "We have a friend who used this all the time. And two," Rose then said as she took the psychic paper from me, "you just handed Harper a piece of paper that is telling us your single and you work out." 'Okay is it just me or is it a little scary that Rose and I are finishing each other sentences?'
"Okay the finishing each others sentences is scary and a little hot." Jack said with a wink as Rose and I looked at each other. 'Guess it's not just me.'
"Tricky thing psychic paper." Jack commented. "Yeah, can't let your mind wander when you're handing it over," Rose said as she handed the psychic paper to Jack.
"Oh, you sort of have a boyfriend called Mickey Smith, but you consider yourself to be footloose and fancy free." Jack read then looked back at Rose. "Actually the word you use is available." By this time I am trying to hold in my laugher because Rose looks only slightly embarrassed.
"No way" she starts trying to get out of the conversation.
"And another one, vary," Jack said smirking at Rose. That is when I just lost it and busted out laughing almost doubling over because of it.
"Should we try to get along without the psychic paper?" Rose asked while hitting me lightly on the shoulder. I just smiled at her as Jack said, "That would be better, wouldn't it?"
I added with a laugh, "but so much less fun." I can see Rose is still not super happy with me but I ignored her and said to Jack "Nice spaceship."
"Gets me around" Jack said as he and Rose moved to the middle of the ship.
"Very… Spock," Rose said as she looked at Jack. I just rolled my eyes at her. "What's with you and the Spock thing?" I asked as Jack asked "Who?"
Instead of answering either question Rose just said to Jack, "Guessing you're not a local boy, then?" Rose and I both headed for the front of the ship looking out the windows.
"A cell phone, a liquid crystal watch, and fabric that won't be around for at least another two decades. Guessing your not local girls."
"Guessing right." Rose said as she leaned against the consol but jerked back immediately because of pain in her hands.
"Burn your hands on the rope?" Jack asked but Rose elected to ignore him so I said yes for her after looking at my own hands and see them just as burned as Rose's.
Rose was once again looking out the window and said, "We're parked in midair. Can't anyone down there see us?"
"No, can I have a look at your hands for a moment?" Jack asked getting closer to Rose. 'Man, am I even in the room anymore?' I thought to myself as I watched them.
"Why," Rose asked as she set down in the captain's chair she had previously been standing in. Jack just said "please" and then Rose held out her hands for him.
As Jack was scanning her hands he said, "You two can stop acting now, I know exactly who you are. I can spot a time agent a mile away."
"Time agent" Rose asked looking a little confused.
"I've been expecting one of you guys to show up. Though, I must say, not by barrage balloon. Do you often travel that way?" Jack asked as he finished scanning Rose's hands.
"Sometimes I get swept off my feet… by balloons." 'Oh my word! This is killing me. Do they even know I am still in the ship with them? Stop with the flirting already.' I thought and saw that Jack was now tying a scarf around Rose's wrist. "What you doing?" She asked.
"Try to keep still," was all Jack said before leaning into Rose and flipping a switch above her head. Then Rose's hands were covered in gold sparkly things. "Nanogenes, sub-atomic robots. The air in here's full of them." He leaned up again and flipped the switch making the nanogenes disappear. "They just repaired three layers of your skin."
"Well, tell them thanks!" Rose said, and then Jack said, "We'll get down to business."
"Business?" I asked as Jack grabbed a bottle of champagne and push a button to make stairs appear. "Shall we have a drink on the balcony? Bring up the glasses," he said to Rose before heading up.
When Rose and I got to the top I froze because of the height and the fact the we were standing on what looked to be nothing. Rose seemed very impressed and said "I'm standing on something."
Jack made the ship appear, which did not really help me at all, but Rose said, "Okay, you have an invisible spaceship."
"Yeah" Jack commented just watching us. I looked to the side and saw Big Ben and said "tethered up to Big Ben for some reason."
"First rule of active camouflage. Park somewhere you remember." Jack opened the champagne. Rose and Jack were having a good time, but I had to get back in the ship. I was starting to freak out a little with being out in the open at this height.
"Okay, lovely as this is. I am going to let you to deal with business and I am going to go back inside." I never gave them a chance to respond before practically running back down the stairs.
'Maybe I sould have gone with the Doctor.' I thought as I sat down trying to calm down my racing heart.
Jack, Rose, and I were all walking thought the hospital in search of the Doctor. "Hello" Rose and Jack said a couple of time as we walk down a hallway.
Just then we saw the Doctor walk out of a room and Jack greeted him with a handshake and said, "Good evening, hope were not interrupting. Jack Harkness. I've been hearing all about you on the way over."
The Doctor looked over to us and Rose said "He knows, I had to tell him about us being Time Agents." The Doctor gave a nod to Rose and looked back at Jack.
"And it's a real pleasure to meet you, Mr. Spock." Jack gave the Doctor a pat on the back before heading into the room the Doctor just came out of.
The Doctor looked very confused and asked "Mr. Spock?" I shook my head and said, "What were we supposed to say, you don't have a name."
"Yeah, don't you ever get tired of 'Doctor'? Doctor Who?" I almost laughed at this because of the show but held it in. 'Now is not the best time to laugh,' I thought.
The Doctor was looked back-and-forth between us and said "Nine centuries in I'm coping. Where have you two been? We're in the middle of a London Blitz, it's not a good time for a stroll."
"Who's strolling? We went by barrage balloon." Rose said as we started walking towards the room.
"Only way to see an air raid." I commented smiling up at the Doctor.
He looked at me saying, "What?"
Rose did not answer before saying, "Listen, what's a Chula warship?" The Doctor stopped walking and so did I. He looked to me and asked, "Chula?"
I just giggled and told him, "You are out of the loop Mr. Spock. Better step up your game." I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the room.
"This just isn't possible. How did this happen?" I heard Jack said as the Doctor and I walking into the room.
I let go of the Doctor and he asked Jack, "What kind of Chula ship landed here?"
"What?" Jack turned to look at us.
Rose was standing beside the Doctor and said, "He said it was a warship. He stole it. Parked it somewhere out there, somewhere a bomb's gonna fall on it unless we make him an offer." The Doctor had been looking at Rose but now I could tell he was mad at Jack and asked again, "What kind of warship?"
Jack was getting more flustered as time went on. "Does it matter? It's got nothing to do with this."
"This started at the bomb site, it's got everything to do with it. What kind of warship?" The Doctor practically yelled at Jack.
"An ambulance. Look," Jack came closer to the Doctor and Rose to show them a hologram of the ship. I had walking closer to the patients and could not take my eyes off them. It was just so sad seeing them lay there not moving. I made me want to cry.
"That's what you chased through the time vortex. Its space junk. I wanted to kid you it was valuable. Its empty. I made sure of it. Nothing but a shell. I threw it at you. Saw your time travel vehicle - love the retro look by the way, nice panels – threw you the bait."
"Bait" Rose asked.
"I wanted to sell it to you and then destroy it before you found out it was junk."
"You said it was a warship," Rose said still a little confused.
"They have ambulances in war," I said defending Jack.
Jack walked away before turner around and saying, "It's a con. I was conning you. That's what I am a conman. Thought you were Time agents, you're not are you?"
"Just a couple more free-lancers," Rose said confidently.
"Ahh, should've known the way you guys are blending in with the local color; I mean, flag girl and petal were bad enough, but U-boat Captain?" The Doctor looked really offended by that comment but I told him, "I like your jacket." This made him smile and Jack continued trying to defined his actions.
"Anyway, whatever's happening here has got nothing to do with that ship."
"What is happening here doctor?" Rose asked looking around the room.
"Human DNA is being rewritten by an idiot."
"What do you mean?" I asked this time putting my hand on his arm.
"I dunno, some kind of virus converting human beings into these things. But why? What's the point?"
We were all walking around the room each thing to process what was going on. Then all of a sudden everyone in the room sat up and said "mummy" at the same time. We all jumped back away from them. 'Wow, this is a whole lot creepier than it was on the show.'
"What's happening?" Rose asked
"I don't know," the Doctor said as we backed up towards the wall. "Don't let them touch you."
"What happens if they touch us?" Rose and I asked at the same time. We were all against the wall as the patients keep getting closer and closer and saying "mommy". To say I was scared was an understatement.
"You're looking at it."
Sooooooooooo…. What do you think? I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks again for reading. Keep a look out for a mad man in a blue box. Until next time.
