A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Been busy with my other stories and life of course. Read and Review, please and thank you.
10 walks over to the fez carefully as he scans it with his sonic screwdriver. When he reads the results, "Just a normal Fez."
He bites his inner cheek as he hears something.
"OOOOO!"
He and the Elizabeths look up as a man pops out of the vortex and lands heavily not far from him with an "Oof!"
Then the strange man quickly stands up as 10 stands up and puts on the fez on his head.
One of the Elizabeths ask completely mystified, "Who is this man?"
10 responds, "That's just what I was wondering."
11 was commenting at 10's looks, "Oh, that is skinny. That is proper skinny."
He turns to the side and compares himself to 10, "I've never seen it from the outside."
He walks over to 10 as he adds with a big smile, "It's like a special effect."
"Oi!" he speaks as he stops in front of 10 and knocks the fez to the ground, "Ha! Matchstick man."
Both examine each other as 10 comments, "No... You're not."
They both get out their sonic screwdrivers as 11 extends his; stating that his is bigger and better.
10 makes a comment, "Compensating."
11 replies confused, "For what?"
10 answers, "Regeneration. It's a lottery."
11 and 10 both retract their sonic screwdrivers, flip them and put them in their respected pockets while 11 was speaking. "Oh, he's cool. Isn't he cool? I'm the Doctor and I'm all cool."
"Oops," he points to 10's footwear, "I'm wearing sandshoes."
10 changes the topic, "What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm busy."
11 smiles as he walks over to pick up the disregarded fez, "Oh, busy. I see. Is that what we're calling it, eh? Eh?"
He puts on his fez and turns to the two Elizabeths.
11 bows to both Elizabeths, "Hello, ladies."
10 replies, "Don't start."
11 retorts, "Listen, what you get up to in the privacy of your own regeneration is your business."
10 informs him, "But one of them is a Zygon."
"Urgh," 11 makes a face.
"I'm not judging you," he adds.
Before 10 could even say a thing, the time fissure reappears. Both turn to it and put on their glasses, studying the fissure. They turn to each other, then back to the fissure and then they notice each other wearing glasses.
"Oh, lovely," both simultaneously speak while 11 walks over to the two ladies as he puts away his glasses.
"Your Majesties. Probably a good time to run," he states as 10 finishes gazing at the vortex and putting away his glasses too.
Both Elizabeths ask, "But what about the creature?"
10 orders, "Elizabeth, whichever one of you is the real one, turn and run in the opposite direction to the other one."
Both Elizabeths answer in unison, "Of course, my love."
Elizabeth 1 quickly walks over to 10 and places her hands on his face as she states, "Stay alive, my love. I am not done with you yet."
She kisses 10 while 11 was in awe at what happens and then she leaves.
"Thanks. Lovely," 10 simply speaks as Elizabeth 2 walks over to him and tells him.
"I understand. Live for me, my darling. We shall be together again."
As she copies the kissing action and then runs the other way.
10 comments still shocked at what happened, "Well, won't that be nice?"
11 points out, "One of those was a Zygon."
10 states, "Yeah."
"Big red rubbery thing covered in suckers."
"Yeah."
11 adds, "Venom sacs in the tongue."
10 retorts, "Yeah, I'm getting the point, thank you."
"Nice," 11 nods.
"Doctor, is that you?" both hear a voice as 11 immediately turns to the vortex.
"Ah, hello, Clara. Clara, is that you? Can you hear me?" he yells into the vortex.
Clara responds, "Yeah, it's me. We can hear you. Where are you?"
11 asks 10, "Where are we?"
10 answers, "England, 1562."
Clara, Rosemary and Kate look to each other as Rosemary asks loudly.
"Who is he talking to?" Kate and Clara shake their heads 'no' for they didn't know either.
Clara asks, "Who are you talking to?"
Both Doctors reply, "Myself."
Both slightly laugh at that.
Kate asks through the vortex, "Can you come back through?"
11 explains, "Physical passage may not be possible in both directions. Its... Ah! Hang on."
He picks the Fez off his head and yells as he throws it into the vortex, "Fez incoming!"
Rosemary comments, "Nothing here."
10 asks both confused and interested, "If it's not there, where did it go?"
Clara turns to them and questions, "Who's he talking to?"
Kate answers, "Apparently, he said himself."
She adds, "Make sure to keep him talking."
She pulls out her cellphone as she leaves, "Malcolm? Malcolm, I need you to send me one of my father's incident files. Codenamed Cromer. 70s or 80s depending on the dating protocol."
Since she was on the phone, she was oblivious as something growls at her while it watches her go down the hallway.
Back at the woods...
10 asks, "So...Where's Rose?"
"Um..." 11 said, "Sorry, I can't tell you. Spoilers."
"Okay then," 10 notes as he adds, "Can you tell me where she is now? I mean... You used to be me, you've done all this before. What happens next?"
"Well... I," 11 admits, "I don't remember what happens next actually. It's kinda fuzzy."
10 turns to him like he had two heads and points between them, "How can you forget this?"
"Hey, hang on. It's not my fault. You're obviously not paying enough attention," he retorts as he pulls out his sonic screwdriver.
He orders, "Well, reverse the polarity!"
10 shakes his head as he takes his sonic screwdriver too and both aim their sonic screwdrivers at the fissure.
Meanwhile...
"So, what becomes of Rose then?" the Warrior asks The Moment.
"She's safe. I won't harm the girl," The Moment replies.
It adds, "Now... Time to go."
Back with 10 and 11...
11 states, "It's not working."
10 counters, "We're both reversing the polarity."
11 proclaims a little annoyed, "Yes, I know that."
10 explains the flaw in the plan, "There's two of us. I'm reversing it, you're reversing it back again. We're confusing the polarity."
Barnhouse...
The Moment instructs the Warrior, "Now is the time."
He nods as he steps into the fissure, but stops as he picks up the fez.
"Hmm...Can't forget this now can we," he mutters as he stands up and continues to the fissure.
Back to 10 and 11...
They were about to argue until the Warrior drops through the time fissure and lands on his feet with the fez in his hands.
He asks them, "Anyone lose a fez?"
11 was too shock to say anything while 10 speaks, "You. How can you be here? More to the point, why are you here?"
The Warrior speaks politely, "Good afternoon. I'm looking for the Doctor."
10 comments, "Well, you've certainly come to the right place."
The Warrior nods, "Good. Right then."
He looks between 10 & 11 while asking them, "Well, who are you boys?"
The two look to each other surprised and uncomfortable as he continues talking, "Oh, of course. Are you his companions?"
11 repeats sounding shocked, "His companions?"
10 on the other hand was breathing slowly.
The Warrior continues, "They get younger all the time. Well, if you could point me in the general direction of the Doctor?"
Both were about to say something, but quickly went against it. 10 pulls out and demonstrate his sonic screwdriver with 11 following suite.
The Warrior replies stunned, "Really?"
11 nods, "Yeah."
10 calmly adds, "Really."
Warrior asks still stunned in disbelief, "You're me? Both of you?"
10 comments, "Yep." While popping the 'p'.
The Warrior eyes 11, "Even that one?"
11 shouts back annoyed, "Yes!"
The Warrior looks between them, "So... You're my future selves?"
10 and 11 shout in unison, "Yes!"
He walks over to them, "Am I having a midlife crisis?"
10 & 11 both point their screwdrivers at him; he stops in place. "Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that?"
He continues slightly annoyed, "They're scientific instruments, not water pistols."
10 and 11 put away their devices while the Warrior comments their behavior, "It looks like you've seen a ghost."
"Still," 10 comments, "loving the posh gravelly thing. It's very convincing."
11 replies, "Brave words, Dick van Dyke."
10 asks the Warrior, "Now then I-"
"There they are!" a cry echoes and interrupts 10's question as a troop of soldiers run up, lead by a nobleman, to the three Doctors.
The nobleman, Bentham, orders as he looks around his men, "Encircle them."
10 and 11 both pull out the devices at the soldiers as the Warrior calmly looks around while Bentham continues, "Which of you is the Doctor? The Queen of England is bewitched. I would have the Doctor's head.
The Warrior comments, "Well, this has all the makings of your lucky day."
Back at the Under Gallery...
Kate returns while Clara and Rosemary still looking at the vortex.
Clara turns to Kate, "I think there's three of them now."
Woods, 1562...
Kate replies, out from the vortex, "There's a precedent for that."
Everyone looks at the vortex and Bentham asks, "What is that?"
10 and 11 aim their screwdrivers at Bentham and the Warrior shakes his head, "Oh, the pointing again. They're screwdrivers! What are you going to do, assemble a cabinet at them?"
Both 10 and 11 lower their arms while Bentham asks, "That thing, what witchcraft is it?"
11 smiles as he flips his sonic, "Ah, yes."
He turns around to look at it and states, "Now that you mention it, that is witchcraft."
He walks over to it, "Yes, yes, yes. Witchy witchcraft. Hello? Hello in there. Excuse me. Hello!"
Back at the Under Gallery...
The Doctor's, 11's, voice asks, "Am I talking to the wicked witch of the well?"
Clara and Rosemary were confused, but Kate quickly concluded as she speaks lowly.
"Clara," she turns to Kate, "He means you."
Clara sighs as she faces the vortex again, "Tch. Why am I the witch?"
Rosemary comments, "Hurry and say something."
11 asks, "Clara?"
"Hello?" she speaks questioningly.
Woods, 1562...
"Clara, hi, hello. Hello," 11 turns around to face the soldiers, "Would you mind telling these prattling mortals to get themselves begone?"
The Warrior and 10 look at him with 'I-get-what-you're-doing' look.
Clara replies, "What he said."
11 whispers, "Yes, tiny bit more colour."
Under Gallery...
Rosemary softly adds, "Yeah, he has a point. You did sound kinda dead."
Clara speaks, "Right, right. ...Alright."
"Right. Prattling mortals, off you pop, or I'll turn you all into frogs," she speaks.
Woods, 1562...
Bentham and his soldiers all gasp after hearing that while 11 was smiling, "Ooo, frogs. Nice. You heard her."
10 was pointing at every single man there while the Warrior looks around coolly.
"Uh," Clara starts, "Doctor, what's going on?"
11 walks back with 10 and the Warrior, "It's a... um... a timey-wimey thing."
The Warrior turns to him in disbelief, "Timey what? Timey-wimey?"
10 shakes his head while saying, "I- I've no idea where he picks that stuff up."
Then Queen Elizabeth enters and all the soldiers fall to their knee.
"Her highness. Her majesty. The Queen. The Queen," were some of the things they said as they bow down while she walks.
The three Doctors were the only ones standing and she laughs, "Well."
She faces them, "You don't seem to be kneeling. How tremendously brave of you."
10 asks calmly as he eyes her, "Which one are you? What happened to the other one?"
Elizabeth states, "Indisposed."
She adds with a smile, "Long live the Queen."
"Long live the Queen," the soldiers cry in unison.
She orders them, "Arrest these men. Take them to the Tower at once."
10 protests, "Wait, listen to me."
He adds as he points at Elizabeth, "That is not the Queen of England, that's an alien duplicate."
"And you can take it from him," 11 comments as he points at 10, "cos he's really checked."
10 retorts, "Oh, shut up."
11 continues, "Venom sacs in the tongue."
10 faces him, "Seriously, stop it."
11 claps his hands as an idea came to him, "No, hang on. The Tower."
Under Gallery...
Rosemary, Clara and Kate heard was was going on.
"Did you say the Tower? Ah, yes, brilliant. Love the Tower," 11 speaks.
Kate crosses her arms over her chest and ponders, 'Just what does this man think he's doing?'
She closes her eyes and tries to think like the Doctor.
'Wait,' she immediately opens her eyes and looks back at the vortex, 'Is that what he's trying to do?'
Woods, 1562...
11 continues talking, "Excellent decision. Superb."
He looks at his watch, "Breakfast at eight then, please."
He claps his hands together, "Ooh, will there be Wi-Fi?"
10 looks at 11 stunned while the Warrior comments, "Are you capable of speaking without flapping your hands about?"
11 counters, "Yes. No. Nevermind."
He turns back around, "I demand to be incarcerated in the Tower immediately with my co-conspirators Sandshoes (pointing at 10) and Granddad (pointing at The Warrior)."
The Warrior repeats shocked, "Granddad?"
10 counters, "They're not sandshoes."
The Warrior looks at his footwear and states, "Yes, they are."
"Silence," Elizabeth states, "The Tower is not to be taken lightly."
Under Gallery...
Elizabeth continues, "Very few emerge again."
Kate speaks up, "Dear God, that man's clever."
Both Clara and Rosemary turn to her and she adds, "Come on."
Rosemary asks, "Where are we going?"
Kate faces her, "Not 'we'. Just Clara and myself, you've to stay here."
"What?" Rosemary asks, "Why?"
"Confidential information," Kate states, "I can't share it with you. Only to Clara."
Clara turns to Rosemary, "We'll be back, just look around and see if there is anything wrong."
Rosemary nods, "Okay then."
She leaves off and Clara asks her, "So where are we going again?"
Kate answers, "My office, otherwise known as the Tower of London."
Clara nods as she follows Kate out of the Under Gallery.
Woods, 1562...
The soldiers tie all three Doctors' wrist as they follow the Queen to The Tower.
