The first to wake up after a good night's sleep was Alexia. When she did, she looked around in confusion before smiling happily. The 'SleepTight' had actually worked and she felt well rested for a first time in a long time. A little squeak beside her caught her attention and she looked down to find Sparky looking up at her. "Hello!" She said, grinning and ruffled the fur on his head. "Are you hungry?" She asked.
"Pika!" Sparky squeaked.
"Me too." She said and got off the bed, letting Sparky the Pikachu jump onto her. But first she had to go back to her room to get changed and washed.
Half-an-hour after Alexia woke up, Rose did the same. And after a morning wash, a change of clothes and an inquiry to where The Doctor was, she headed for the kitchen. He was there with Alexia and as she stood, leaning against the doorway, she listened to them talking about stuff that obviously happened overnight whilst she slept. Alexia was heard to thank the Doctor for helping her get to sleep, then the Doctor told her she could keep using the 'SleepTight' until her body adjusted to sleeping normally.
At this point Rose interrupted their conversation and walked into the kitchen. "Have you been tinkering with the TARDIS again?" She asked the Doctor, putting her arm around his waist.
"Hello Rose." The Doctor replied, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead.
Rose sighed, annoyed that he always seemed so modest around her when other people were present.
"I was bored waiting for you to wake up so I needed something to do." He told her.
"Oh, okay." Rose then frowned and looked at Alexia. "What were you doing up?" She asked out of curiosity.
"Rose!" The Doctor warned.
Alexia watched as the couple interacted with each other but mainly watched Rose for her body language. She wasn't stupid, she knew that Rose was easily jealous and likely felt threatened in some way. She wondered if she should talk to the blonde later. "I have insomnia." Alexia answered Rose's question. "And when I mentioned this to The Doctor he helped me out."
Rose actually looked surprised. "But you've slept before!" She stated.
"Actually, no. Those two times at Torchwood was a forced sleep." The Time Lord corrected.
"Oh, well…okay…I didn't know that. The insomnia I mean." Rose muttered.
"And now you do!" Alexia replied, going back to eating her breakfast.
Letting go of The Doctor, Rose sat down opposite Alexia and wanted to ask her more about the insomnia. That was until Jenny came barrelling into the kitchen all excited.
"Dad! Look what I made!" She said, holding up the instrument.
They all stared at it. Jenny had apparently made her very own Sonic Screwdriver. Except this one was all hodgepodge, made from various material found laying about and held together with exposed wires. It had a white light at the end.
"A Sonic Screwdriver!" A stunned Doctor uttered. "I was going to get the TARDIS to make you one."
"It's a bit dodgy looking," Alexia said as she continued staring at it. "All those wires hanging out like that. Could cause a fire hazard." It reminded her of Jaime when she was younger and she'd find her young daughter messing about with the electronics and almost causing a serious fire. Thankfully she grew out of it. Well, almost!
"It's not finished yet!" Jenny said.
"How long have you been working on it?" Rose asked her.
"All night!" Was Jenny's excited reply before turning her attention to The Doctor. "Do you like it, dad?"
The Doctor grinned when he looked at it. "Yeah, I do." He said with pride.
Jenny's smile practically brightened the room and she hugged her dad happily. Then she breezed out of the kitchen, probably to go back to her room to finish the home made Sonic.
"All night?" Rose uttered, amazed. "That is some dedication." She looked at The Doctor. "Will it work like any of our Sonics?" She asked him.
The Time Lord shrugged. "No idea, but I've confidence she'll modify it to be more like ours."
"And if that doesn't work we could always give her a Sonic Screwdriver for her birthday." Alexia suggested.
Rose seemed to hum in agreement, nodding her head.
The previous night, after Jaime spoke to her mum about what she did when she went missing, followed by the group hug, Alexia had suggested adopting Jenny, considering the Doctor had adopted her daughter. Jenny liked it and so did The Doctor after a bit of persuasion by Jaime. But Rose wondered where that left her in all this it made her feel somewhat inadequate. When the Doctor grunted in agreement over the suggestion of the Sonic, Rose let out an accidental huff. Alexia noticed this and wanted to say something to her until Jaime came rushing into the kitchen with J.D following in behind her.
Rose could feel she was worried about something and was puzzled when Jaime started opening cupboards as if she was looking for something. "What are you doing?" Rose questioned the Scots-girl, noticing the humoured glance between The Doctor and Alexia.
Even Jaime seemed to sense it because she looked at The Doctor and her mum, then at Rose with a frown. The Scots-girl could see what Rose was thinking, and was unsure why she thought her mum and The Doctor had a thing for each other. She wondered where that thought even came from! Maybe she should give Rose a good talking to.
"Have you lost something?" The Doctor asked Jaime, a brow raised.
"Small and electric yellow?" Alexia added with a teasing grin.
Jaime looked at The Doctor and her mum with surprise before looking over at J.D, a silent conversation happening between them.
Rose had felt a mix of emotions come from Jaime all within a few seconds. "What are you talking about?" She asked both The Doctor and Alexia.
"Alright, where is he?" Jaime suddenly demanded. "I know he's here!"
Rose was getting even more confused.
"No hiding anything from you is there!" The Doctor answered with a chuckle.
A chair scraped back and Rose watched as Alexia pulled open a kangaroo-type pouch on her pullover top and whistled. Seconds later a yellow furry head with long ears popped up.
"What the hell!" Rose cried out, standing up, surprised that she recognised what the little creature was.
"Sparky!" Jaime practically shouted and Sparky the Pikachu's ears pricked up. He jumped out of the pouch, Jaime easily catching him. "There you are, you had me worried!" She cooed at the Pikachu while John petted Sparky's furry head.
Rose stared dumbfounded. "Is that what I think it is?" She asked, her eyes wide.
"If you're thinking that it's a Pikachu, then yes, that's what it is." The Doctor replied, putting his arm around Rose's shoulders.
"Well, how come it's real? Where did it come from?" She fired off her questions.
"Where did you find him?" Jaime asked seconds after Rose's questions.
"Uhh…we found him in the console room." The Doctor replied to Jaime and glanced at Rose when he sensed a hint of agitation from her.
"He hasn't left my side since," Alexia spoke up. "And to be honest I think I've become quite attached to him."
Jaime understood what that meant and was really quite surprised. Her mum had never liked animals in the house, nor did she want one near her. Now here she was with a pet Pikachu! "You actually interacted with him?" She asked and her mum nodded.
"What were you thinking, taking a Pokemon from its universe?" The Doctor admonished Jaime and she looked at him with wide eyes.
"Technically he's a rescue Pokemon," John answered his brother, continuing to pet the Pikachu.
"When we were in that universe we came across someone who was abusing his Pokemon. So I fought him for them." Jaime answered, remembering how she had given the boy a good kicking and then used her super-strength to throw him into the air. Cartoon dynamics were weird.
"Them?" Rose spoke up. "You have more than one?"
Jaime nodded her head. "Aye, there's Sparky here," she looked down at the Pikachu. "Then there's a Vulpix, an Eevee, a Charmeleon, a Pidgy and a Growlithe." She didn't mention she had caught several Pokemon of their own, including a Ho-Oh.
The Doctor shook his head with a groan. "And you didn't think to drop them off at a centre before leaving that universe?" He questioned.
Jaime shrugged her shoulders. "By the time we left I'd forgotten I had them!" She said.
The Doctor narrowed his eyes suspiciously while Alexia thought it was a strange answer. "How long were you there for?" She asked her daughter but it was John who answered her.
"A couple of months. A year at the least!" He said. They all stared dumbfounded at the Half-Time Lord couple.
"Team Rocket stole our Sonics," Jaime answered their expressions. "They were our only way of getting out of that Universe so we chased after them."
"And taught them a lesson Jaime-style." John added and the Scots-girl looked at him with a grin.
"Right, I suppose that answers the question." The Doctor uttered, obviously not wanting to hear about anymore violence from them. "I'll be in the console room when you're ready!" And he exited the kitchen for the console room.
Shortly after that Alexia spoke up. "Why didn't Sparky electrocute you like he did with The Doctor?" She asked. Jaime gasped and the Half-Time Lord raised his brows in surprise.
"He did what?" Rose cried out and hurried out of the kitchen to find The Doctor.
"Maybe because he knows me and probably sensed something was off with The Doctor." John answered the question. After Jaime let Sparky go back to Alexia, she and John helped make some breakfast.
Shortly after breakfast The Doctor and Rose was joined in the console room by Jaime, J.D, Jenny and Alexia with Sparky hiding away in her pullover pouch pocket. Rose watched as the Half-Time Lord Doctor joined the Time Lord Doctor in preparing to pilot the TARDIS. Rose was also helping at the console with guidance from The Doctor, though it was apparent they had no destination in mind yet.
"So what are we doing this time?" she asked as she stood close to the Doctor when he checked something on the monitor. "Where are we off too?"
The Doctor looked at the blonde with a big smile and was about to say what he had in mind until Jenny cut him off.
"What planet are we going too?" An excited Jenny asked, practically skipping over to the console. "Will there be lots of running?"
Alexia chuckled at Jenny's enthusiasm and energy. Even The Doctor grinned at it as Jaime sat on the jumpseat next to her mum.
"Hold on!" The Doctor uttered. "Calm down." Jenny frowned. "Before we pick up our companions we want to get them a wedding present. Any ideas?" He asked everyone.
There were several suggestions of 'travelling on the TARDIS'.
"Yeah, apart from that!" The Doctor uttered.
This time there were suggestions of the usual thing people got for a married couple. Which was all terribly boring.
Meanwhile Alexia had stayed quiet, thinking. "What about Amy's parents?" She finally spoke her suggestion and everyone looked at her.
"What about them?" Rose asked.
"Are they alive in this universe or did they just disappear one night?"
The Doctor furrowed his brows. "As far as I'm aware they didn't disappear," he said. "When we asked Amelia about her parents she said they'd died in a hot air balloon accident."
"Oh!" Alexia said with a mumble and Jaime could tell her mum wasn't going to let it go. "With another universal change, this time there being no cracks in time like in the TV series, her parents randomly die in a balloon accident? Nobody just dies by a random ballon accident."
The Doctor peered over at Alexia. "What are you saying?" He asked.
"I'm asking you, what if their deaths are not a fixed point!" Alexia continued. "What if something caused their deaths."
The Time Lord narrowed his eyes now. "I'm still none the wiser." He said.
This time Jenny took up the reigns. "In the TV series the cracks in time took Amelia's parents," she explained. "But when future you took the Pandorica into the heart of the exploded TARDIS…" Jaime grimaced. "…he caused a Big Bang that reverted everything to normal, closing the cracks and bringing Amy's parents back to her." Jenny stopped when she saw her dad's mouth was wide open and she could feel he was shocked. "What?" She asked. "What's wrong?" Now she was worried too.
"The TARDIS blew up?" The Doctor questioned. "How the hell did that even happen?" Then he stared at Jaime, Jenny and Alexia. "Hold on, the three of you knew this would happen and you didn't think to tell me?" He questioned angrily.
"Oh, Rassilon!" Jaime groaned with a shake of her head. "You dinnae need to worry 'bout that," she told the Doctor. "That's not even gonna happen here. It shouldn't even happen!" Pride washed off her mum and Jaime felt her put her arm around her shoulders.
"But you've already come across the Pandorica so that wouldn't happen, would it?" Alexia questioned only to notice Jaime shaking her head.
"There's a lot of differences in this universe to what we're used to seeing on the TV."
"Right," Alexia nodded thoughtfully. "And did you cause these changes?" She asked her daughter and Jaime let out an exaggerated gasp.
"No, course not. The changes happened to this universe even before I got here." She defended herself.
"Doctor, what would happen if the TARDIS exploded?" Rose asked once she'd gotten over her shock that the TARDIS would explode.
"Nothing good," a worried sounding J.D spoke up. "The entire universe could end." Rose gasped.
As Jaime shifted impatiently on the jumpseat she realised she should have stopped Jenny from going any further in mentioning the exploding TARDIS. Especially if it caused this much panic from everybody else. "Dinnae you think you're getting a wee bit distracted here?" Jaime said as she moved off the jumpseat. "There are no cracks in time, meanin' that the TARDIS won't be blowing up anytime soon." She held her hand up when it seemed like Rose was going to speak up. Then she looked at her mum and Jenny. "What we've seen on the TV series is very different to what happens in this universe. The episodes still happen but they tend to go differently." Now she turned to The Doctor. "There was a reason for his TARDIS exploding," she told him. "I can't tell you why because it's in the future, but it won't be happening here!"
The Doctor stared at her intently. "And you can be sure about that, can you?" He asked.
"Aye!" Jaime assured with a nod.
"Right," Still unnerved the Time a Lord turned his attention to his older daughter. "What were you saying about Amelia's parents?" He asked.
Jenny seemed stunned for the moment after realising she'd done something wrong. Until Jaime prompted her. "What if their death was not a fixed point. What if something odd happened." She finished.
Rose could see that The Doctor was thinking deeply about this. "You do have a valid point," he soon stated. "But if it's a fixed point we can only observe what is happening." To be honest he didn't think it was a good idea. The last time he went to see somebody's death Rose ended up saving her father. And that ended badly.
Meanwhile Jenny bounced excitedly when she realised she was going to get her first proper travel in time and nodded her head.
So after researching the balloon incident on the TARDIS monitor, the Doctor set the co-ordinates and they were on their way.
Once again Alexia found herself clinging to the jumpseat when the destination was another rough one. "Bloody hell, Doctor. Can't you be careful!" She griped, wondering if her daughter had actually inherited The Doctor's driving skills. And she couldn't understand why Jenny was laughing and whooping. She was a strange girl.
"Why?" The Doctor replied. "It's more fun this way!"
The TARDIS finally landed with a thud two minutes later, Alexia breathing a sigh of relief. "It's not fun if someone has motion sickness." She snapped back.
"Do you?" Both Doctors asked at the same time.
"No, but I'm very nearly there!" Alexia muttered.
"Hurry up!" An excited Jenny practically shouted and disappeared out of the front door.
"Well, we best go after her." The Doctor sighed as he put his coat on. J.D nodded and they all exited the Time Ship.
Looking around at her surroundings, Alexia was surprised to find the TARDIS had landed them on the edge of an airstrip in some small out of the way airport. It was chilly, yet mildly windy.
"Where are we?" Alexia heard a curious Jenny ask.
"Campbeltown Airport," The Doctor answered her. "Scotland and just a few miles from Northern Ireland."
"And when are we?" Alexia questioned next, feeling the cold as she folded her arms.
"March 26th 1995." Rose answered, smirking when she felt Alexia's surprise.
"You can tell what the date is?" The woman asked, even sounding surprised.
"Yeah," the blonde answered her. "I have been able to since the Doctor taught me."
Alexia nodded her head, eyes wide in amazement. If she was able to tell the date because of Bad Wolf, then what else could she do?
Meanwhile both Jaime and Jenny could feel and see that Rose was still jealous of Alexia, while she had nothing but admiration for the blonde. Jaime couldn't understand why her mum was completely awestruck with Bad Wolf and when she caught Jenny frowning at her she just shrugged.
"Yes, which should make it a Sunday." The Doctor interrupted them. "Five minutes to Mid-day."
"Is the timing significant?" Alexia asked The Doctor, ignoring the glare from Rose.
The Time Lord nodded his head. "Mr and Mrs Pond don't get into the basket until 11:58AM. By 12:05PM they're falling to their deaths."
A grimace appeared on John's face. "Where exactly is this hot air balloon?" He asked because when he was looking around at the Airport's surroundings he couldn't see anything of interest.
"It'll be on the other side of that Airport most likely." The Doctor answered his brother. "Allons-y!"
The little group of Time Traveller's hurried across the Airstrips towards the Airport building.
"I thought Airports were supposed to be busy?" Jenny asked her dad.
The Doctor grinned at her. "They are," he replied. "Except this one isn't an International Airport. It's a small-town Airport."
As they continued to cross the runways towards their destination, Jaime began to get a very bad feeling. Sensing her upset, J.D moved over to her and took her hand in comfort. "Are you okay?" He asked with a worried frown on his face.
"Aye, fan-dabby-dozy!" Jaime uttered in reply. But then she changed her mind seconds later. "Actually, no. Somethin' don't feel right…" She looked at the Half-Time Lord. "Like when there used to be Dimension Portals scattered across the Universe."
John raised his brows in surprise. 'Surely not!' He thought. But still, it was a possibility, the damn things appeared anywhere in Time and Space. "Are you sure?" J.D worried. "Like really sure?" Jaime nodded silently. "Can you still feel them?" John requested and Jaime was about to reply when they heard Jenny cry out.
The young Time Lady was crouched with her hands in her head. "Jenny? What is it? What's going on?" Alexia said, trying to help her.
"I think she's seen something," the Doctor replied, also helping Jenny. He pulled her hands from her head. "What is it? What did you see?" He asked his daughter.
"Birds!" A wide-eyed Jenny uttered. "Big dangerous birds."
The Doctor narrowed his eyes. "Birds?" He asked "what have birds got to do with anything?" He heard a groan from Jaime and looked over to find she had her hands over her eyes, John comforting her.
"They're attacking the balloon!" She cried out. "And they're not just birds."
"They look like vultures crossed with Pterodactyls." Jenny added, her eyes wide. "Beaks so sharp and bloody!"
Looking between her daughter and Jenny, Alexia looked extremely worried. "Dinosaur vultures?" She said before looking at The Doctor. "What does that mean?" She asked.
The Doctor wasn't sure but J.D understood perfectly. "Jaime said she felt strange earlier. She thought there might be a stray Dimension Portal open somewhere nearby."
The Time Lord shook his head with an annoyed grunt. "Of course there is!" He practically shouted and sent a glare towards his brother and Jaime. "See what happens when you mess about with the Dimensions!"
The Half-Time Lord looked like he wanted to argue back but they were both interrupted by Rose. "That means their deaths are a flux point in time," she spoke up, eyes closed as she concentrated on the Timelines. "I can sense it."
The Doctor nodded faintly. She had a point because he could sense the same thing. He could see the Timeline and how it split in different directions where they would either fall or live. Right now though the 'fall' was the brightest Timeline.
Jaime breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her hands. "It's gone now," she said about the Dimension Portal. "But the…birds…are still flyin' and there's danger ahead!" She shook her head of all the thoughts that were whirling through her mind.
"You said they weren't birds." Jaime heard her mother speak up and grimaced.
"Fearow," Jenny uttered out loud. "What's a Fearow?" She then asked, frowning. "Is it some sort of ancient Earth bird?" She could see and feel that everyone was shocked and surprised.
"No, it's not!" Alexia answered. "For the love of Sanity, you mean to say that Tabetha and Augustus Pond are killed by a flock of bird-like Pokemon?"
Rose could feel confusion from Jenny and guilt from both Jaime and J.D. After all, it was them that had opened up the main Dimension Portal inside Torchwood.
"What's Pokemon?" The young Time Lady asked out of confusion.
"That doesn't matter right now," the Doctor uttered. "It's 12:01PM and we're running out of time!" He turned to Jaime. "A little help wouldn't go amiss. We need to fast track to our destination."
Jaime nodded and after getting everyone to hold hands she teleported them away from the Airport.
For Alexia, teleporting had to be the most weirdest sensation she had ever felt. One moment she was stood in the middle of an Airport Runway, the next second she found herself on the edge of a field. The after-effects of teleporting made her dizzy and she tumbled to the ground with a yell. She was followed by Jenny who was also experiencing her first time teleporting. Alexia groaned and shook her head as the dizziness continued.
"Don't worry, it'll pass." Jaime told her mum and sister. "It won't last long."
Meanwhile, John had noticed they weren't the only one's watching the Hot Air Balloon rising into the sky. Several small groups of people who wanted a go on the balloon, including ground technicians, were also watching. They were practically in the middle of nowhere and clearly a mile away from the Airport, so there must be a village close by. As for The Doctor, he'd taken out his Spyglass and was scanning the sky with it.
"See anything yet?" Rose asked from beside him.
"Nope," he replied, popping the 'p'. "Not yet." He continued to scan the sky as the balloon got even more higher.
"Hold on, what's that?" Rose asked, pointing at a flock of birds in the distance. "Is that them?"
The Doctor looked at where she was pointing then pointed the Spyglass towards the flock. He smiled grimly. "Yep, that's them," he said. "The balloon is in their flight path. Have a look." He handed the Spyglass to Rose so that she could get a closer look at the Fearow.
The blonde shuddered at the way they looked.
"Are you okay, Rose?" The Doctor asked when he noticed it.
"Yeah," she replied and lowered the Spyglass. "They're all sharp beaks and claws. And very real." She looked at the Doctor with wide eyes. "They don't even look animated!"
"Which makes them very dangerous," the Doctor told her, taking the Spyglass back. "And because they're Pokemon and not regular birds. These Fearow were built that way specifically to fight a weaker opponent."
They heard Jenny gasp in shock and disgust. "Why would someone want to force another animal to fight?" She asked.
"That's what Pokemon is," J.D spoke up. "Short for 'Pocket Monsters' it originated as a game where the player fought other Pokemon with theirs in order to catch it."
Jenny seemed to understand for the moment. "But making animals fight each other," she said. "It's still cruel."
The Doctor smiled at his daughter, pleased with her empathy towards other people and creatures.
"She's got a point," Jaime uttered. "When we were in the PokeVerse we tried to steer clear of the Pokefights and big stadium tournaments." She sensed Jenny's surprise and noticed she was grinning happily. "But it's not just Pokemon that use animals to fight. In the Neopets universe pets are taken to the Battledome and made to fight other pets." Rose felt the Scots-girl's disgust as she shook her head. "Things were pretty horrific there." John put his arm around her shoulders in comfort.
They were all interrupted by the concerned gasps from the groups of humans waiting their turn, and when the Time Travellers looked up at the balloon they could see the problem. They didn't need the Spyglass to view what was going on. Even though the balloon was really quite high in the sky they could see what the Fearow were doing. There were several holes in the balloon caused by the Fearow flying straight through it with their sharp beaks. More of them had surrounded the basket and we're trying to attack the occupants while others were pecking at the ropes holding up the basket.
"Persistent little buggers aren't they!" Alexia uttered grimly.
It was Jaime who swung into action first. "Right!" She uttered, a determined expression on her face. "Rose…" She turned to the blonde. "…that balloon is falling. Use your telekinesis to bring it back down safely." Rose nodded her head. "Jenny can help you."
"Yes, ma'am!" Rose uttered and she and Jenny, followed by The Doctor, hurried off to stop the balloon from falling.
"Mum!" Jaime called out next. "Do you still have Sparky with you?"
Alexia nodded. "Yeah, here's here. Why?" She questioned.
"Good," Jaime's grin widened and her eyes got even darker. "I'm going to buzz them and lead them away from the humans. I need you to use Sparky to knock them out. He'll know what to do."
Alexia remained silent but blinked in surprise when Jaime's clothes suddenly changed into an all back ensemble, a hood covering her head so that her face was in shadows.
"Jaime!" John caught her before she could fly off. "Be careful. You know how dangerous they are!" He said and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Always!" Jaime replied with a continued grin. Then she turned and ran off in the opposite direction before kicking off into flight.
Alexia watched as her daughter flew away and turned to J.D. "How'd she do that?" She asked. "With her clothes I mean."
"Chameleon Wear," John replied, watching as Jaime flew towards the Fearow. "That's what Agents at the Celestial Intervention Agency wear," he told the woman.
"Then how did Jaime get a hold of them?" She continued to question.
"From the TARDIS." Was his reply.
"Oh, that makes sense…" Though it didn't make sense why the Doctor would have such clothes in the TARDIS wardrobe…if that's where they came from.
"Since when has Rose been telekinetic?" Alexia asked next.
The Half-Time Lord groaned at her questions. "How do you think!" He ground out.
As she flew closer to the Fearow, Jaime could see that the Hot Air Balloon was deflating rapidly and she hoped Rose would be able to get the humans down safely. Then when she flew straight through the flock she punched out several of them, hard enough to just anger them but not knock them out. Jaime did this a couple more times until they were properly wound up.
Amazed, Alexia watched her daughter flying about and causing havoc for the Fearow. Then she listened to the other observers as they gasped in wonderment and whispered of a flying person or alien. Then suddenly her daughter flew off in the direction of the coast, the Fearow on her tail.
"Come on, let's go!" John shouted, grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the direction Jaime went off in.
"I hope she's going to be okay!" Alexia worried before opening the bigger on the inside pouch and calling for Sparky.
Flying was always one of Jaime's favourite things about her superpowers. But she forgot how hard it was to fly when it was windy. Especially when the direction of said wind was coming from the Irish Sea. It was slowing her down and she couldn't afford to glide because she had a flock of angry Fearow chasing after her. Neither did she have the proper aerodynamics to fly fast enough in case she experienced a bad case of turbulence.
Jaime was about to change direction in order to go with the wind when she sensed a sudden flash of danger. Seconds later she took the decision to dive, the ground nearing quickly and the sense of danger still with her. Though she may have timed it wrong because she felt a sharp pain on her left leg, followed by something bumping her hard so that she went tumbling out of the sky with a surprised yell.
Finally Jaime hit the ground with a pained grunt and a mild quake tremor before rolling several times. "Shit!" She groaned when she finally stopped rolling, thankful she'd brought her outer shields up before she'd hit the ground. But then her eyes widened when she saw the flock of angry Fearow diving towards her, their beaks looking very sharp. "Oh fu…." Jaime cried out and was about to blast them when there was an angry cry from Sparky and arcs of yellow lightening struck the Fearow. They were well and truly knocked out and they fell to the ground all around her. "Lucky!" She uttered with a sigh of relief and a nervous chuckle as she sat up.
Suddenly a worried Sparky jumped into her lap, squeaking and fussing at her. "I'm alright!" She told the Pikachu, pushing her hood down. "Just a wee bit bruised, that's all." She gently pushed Sparky off her so she could stand up, glancing around at the knocked out Fearow. "Job well done, I'd say!" She uttered and tried to walk only to groan out in pain. Her left leg felt a bit wet and when she looked down she saw that the trouser leg was torn. "No matter, that'll fix itself." She muttered, amused that Chameleon Wear could survive fire, yet couldn't survive the sharp claws of a Fearow.
"Jaime!" She heard the panicked shout from her mother and looked up.
Alexia was running across the field towards her.
"I'm alright, no harm done." Jaime called back, but like any other mother, Alexia didn't listen. When she finally reached her daughter she fussed over her, commenting on the scrapes on her face and her bleeding leg and any other injury she might have.
"Mum, MUM!" Jaime almost shouted as an equally panicked J.D joined them. "I'm okay, I'll heal up in a bit." She told her.
"What did I tell you!" The Half-Time Lord admonished her, gathering her into a protective hug. "The damn things nearly killed you."
A smile appeared on Jaime's face before pushing John off her. "Like I just said, I'm fine," she told him. "And the wind was against me. Now we've really got to round up these Fearow before they wake up."
Alexia watched as her daughter rummaged around in her pockets and pulled out more than six Pokeballs, handing them to John and herself. "I can't help noticing there appears to be more of these balls for just six Pokemon!" Alexia stated.
"Just shut up and get them caught." Jaime angrily snapped as she pressed a button to enlarge the ball.
Alexia looked at J.D with a raised questioning brow but he was watching Jaime as she threw the Pokeball at a Fearow.
Once all the Fearow were captured and the balls safely back in Jaime's pockets, Sparky back in Alexia's pouch, the Scots-girl teleported them back the field with the now damaged balloon. It was chaos, the Police and Ambulance had arrived from the local village. After doing as much as they could for the victims, the Doctor, Rose and Jenny joined them.
When the Doctor looked at Jaime's face he smiled grimly. "I take it that was you who caused that Earthquake just now?" He asked.
Jaime nodded her head and shrugged her shoulders. "Well, we better go then." The Time Lord said.
"Actually, I just want a quick word with Mr and Mrs Pond." Jaime said, pulling her hood back up and before the Doctor could stop her she'd teleported away.
Jaime appeared right in front of the Ponds, scaring them all over again. They were sat on the grass, holding each other after their awful experience.
"Who are you?" Augustus asked fearfully.
"Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you," she soothed, speaking in a Welsh accent. "I just thought I'd tell you there are better ways to celebrate an anniversary." Tabetha gasped. "There is a little village in England called Leadworth that you might like to visit. It's a nice little place and you might even want to stay there!" She hinted suggestively. "Take your daughter with you." Now they both gasped and before Jaime could leave she was asked who she was again. Jaime smiled. "I'm The Black Bullet," she told them. "And I just saved your lives."
And then she was gone in a blink of an eye.
"I think it's time to go!" Jaime told the Doctor once she returned to the Time Travellers. Then she looked at the carnage and panic on the field. "It's a pity really!" She muttered thoughtfully.
"Oh? Why's that?" John asked.
"We never did come across the Digimon universe," Jaime said. "I could have had a pet Digimon!" She heard them all groan.
"Jaime!" The Doctor groaned out of annoyance.
