"Oi! Stop being rude." Rose scolded.
"This isn't happening. You appearing out of no where I can handle, but him!? Oh, this is a disaster!" The Doctor groaned.
"Good to see you too, Doc." Jack shook his head as he stood up.
"But he was dead. I checked his pulse. H-he collapsed and then he was dead and now he's alive!" Rory freaked out.
"Yeah, he tends to do that a lot." The Doctor commented adjusting his bow tie with his free hand.
"Do you know him?" Amy demanded.
"Yes, Amy unfortunately I do." The Doctor answered.
"Oi! Stop being rude!" Rose chastised hitting him in the chest.
"Captain Jack Harkness." Jack introduced himself to Rory flirtatiously.
"Stop it." The Doctor warned.
"I didn't even go for the girl this time."
"He's married to said girl and we both know the gender or even species doesn't matter with you." The Doctor countered.
"Speaking of which hello, Doctor." Jack grinned flirtatiously walking over to him. "New face, new body, and so much to explore."Jack cupped the Doctor's face in his hands and kissed him on the lips. The doctor's arms flailing about a bit in objection accidentally releasing Rose's hand.
"You'll leave the rest of the exploring to me though right?" Rose questioned just a bit of warning in her voice as Jack pulled away.
"Of course, he's all yours. I was just testing the waters." Jack replied having witnessed first hand how in love the two of them were with each other. That said it didn't mean he couldn't set things in motion by sparking a little jealousy.
"Rose is a much better kisser." The Doctor scowled wiping his mouth with the back of his free hand. Rose smiled at that.
"Is that a challenge?" Jack grinned.
"It wasn't an invitation." The Doctor replied going to grab rose's hand once again.
"Doctor!" Amy yelled earning her a wince from the timelord his hand stopping just before it could touch rose's.
"Yes, Amelia?" The Doctor inquired wringing his hands.
"Who are these people!? Please just explain what's going on." Amy pleaded completely lost.
"Right yes! Sorry, Amelia Pond, Rory Pond-"
"We're not ponds! That's not how it works." Rory objected, but the Doctor continued as if he had never even heard Rory in the first place.
"-this is Captain Jack Harkness, he's an old acquaintance-"
"Friend!" Rose amended her right hand resting on her hip as she glared. The Doctor's eyes meeting hers for a second as she gave him a look.
"Yes, yes fine. He's a friend, very old, very flirtatious. He's from the 51st century and probably got a few std's from multiple alien races-"
"Will you quit being rude? Honestly, I have half the mind to slap you right now." Rose warned.
"Alright so that's Jack, and the lady to my right is the lovely Rose Marion Tyler. She's my-" The Doctor clapped his hands together as he looked Rose over for a moment before he turned back to Amy. "Well, I'm not quite sure what we are right now, but once I know you will be the fourth possibly fifth to know." The Doctor told Amy as he rung his hands together.
"You still don't know?" Jack all but groaned.
"Oi! I just got her back we haven't discussed things yet. You interrupted us, speaking of how the hell did you get in my tardis!? This isn't just some space cab that you can hail."
"Liquid Huon particles recovered from an old torchwood proprietor." Jack answered.
"Don't tell me, HC Clements?" The Doctor questioned.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Jack wondered.
"Long story, it's how I met Donna. But what in the hell made you think it would be a good idea to drink huon particles? They're deadly for humans! Which in your case doesn't really matter, but still why?"
"Wolfy said it would get me on here." Jack replied nodding in Rose's direction.
"Rose!" The Doctor cried out indignantly facing her with a look of betrayal in his eyes.
"Oi, what are you yelling at me for? This is the first time I'm hearing about any of this. I don't have any memories of what she does." Rose replied crossing her arms defensively.
"Oh yes, it was all Bad Wolf's doing. Of course, so Rose tell me is there anyone else that will be popping in? Did you bring Rickey along? Is Sara Jane hiding under the console?" The Doctor demanded swinging himself under to check. "Shall I be expecting Martha or Donna to knock on the door? Is my past going to just come bursting in!?" The Doctor bounded over to it opening them showing nothing, but the vastness of space.
"Just me and her, Rose landed quite literally right on my doorstep, she was all wolfed up and explained some things to me. Like how she planned on getting to you."
"Wolfed up?" Rory asked in confusion. "Is she a werewolf?"
"What? No! She's human, 100%." The Doctor waves a dismissive hand.
"I have met a werewolf though, but don't worry he never bit me so I'm in the clear." Rose told the couple who nodded a bit unnerved, but considering they had met zombie fish vampires it didn't last for long.
"Rose Tyler, I am not amused." The Doctor told her earning himself a laugh from her.
"You still owe me that quid." Rose pointed out.
"I haven't got any money." The Doctor shook his head.
"I'll take your sonic as collateral then." Rose reaches for his coat jacket, but the Doctor quickly stepped away.
"Not a chance, I love my sonic. She made it special for me this time." The Doctor nodded at the console. He stroked it a bit with a smile silently thanking her again. "Tell you what, I'll make you your own. Blue, green, red, yellow, I can probably even make it glow rainbow." The Doctor told her.
"Rosie, sonic gun is where it's at." Jack wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Oh and there you go again just inviting yourself along." the Doctor leaned back against the console crossing his arms.
"Got a problem with that?" Jack countered.
"Well, your not exactly paired off like we are. Being the third wheel is not as fun as you remember and you are not stealing my girl. I fully intend on keeping her this time around. Besides I stole her first."
"Your girl?" Rose echoed with a cheeky grin.
The doctors mouth dropped open a bit seeming to realize what he had just said. "Shut up." He told Rose unable to stop his smile looking bashfully at his shoes.
"Well, actually Doctor I do have someone in mind...if you wanted to pick him up." Jack scratched the back of his head.
"Hang on, you've got a boyfriend?" Rose questioned sounding elated.
"Well, in a manner of speaking." Jack tilted his head a bit a seemingly haunted look entering his eyes.
"No, no absolutely not. Jack, I don't bring dead people." The Doctor told him recognizing that look all too well mostly because it was a look that he saw in the mirror almost everyday.
"But if she saves him he won't be dead. She can make him like me." Jack implored gesturing to Rose.
"One screwed up fixed point is bad enough. The universe can't handle two. You can't control life and death, it's-it's wrong." The Doctor firmly stated. The very idea of another Jack Harkness sent a terrifying chill up his spine. It made him want to grab Rose and run.
"But she can." Jack reiterated not giving up. He'd fight right now with everything he had. Even if he screwed up his friendship with the timelord it didn't matter. Ianto Jones was worth it.
"It's too dangerous, she doesn't have as much power as she did when she did it to you. An infinite amount of things could go wrong. Jack it could kill her." The Doctor emphasized.
"Or she could be perfectly fine and Ianto will be alive." Jack pressed on his voice raising slightly.
"Are you even considering what your asking me right now!? You actually want me to risk losing the woman I love again just so you can have your happily ever after!?" The Doctor glared.
"You get to have one and I don't?" Jack countered.
"Hey, don't I get a say in this?" Rose interrupted walking between the two placing a hand lightly on each of their chests.
"No." Both men chorused in sync.
"Wanna try that again?" Rose warned now glaring between the two.
"This could kill you! Why are you even considering this!?" The Doctor objected.
"Because she's kind unlike some people." Jack glared.
"Oi! I am the king of kind" The doctor objected.
"Enough, both of you!" Rose snapped and both men quieted. Amy and Rory watched on not daring to speak a word. This was all too strange, first the Doctor gets emotional and storms off and then some strange immortal man appears along with this blonde woman.
Rose turned to fully face the doctor. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" He questioned. Was she going to take his side? Or did that mean she was on board with helping Jack?
"For this." Rose frowned punching the Doctor in the face with her right hand the force from the blow sending the doctor staggering to the side. Rose stuck her foot out to trip him up taking advantage of this regenerations clumsiness. The doctor lost his balance and his head went bashing into the console on it's way down to the floor. Rose winced biting her lip as she knelt down beside him cupping his face gently as the Doctor lay there sprawled on the floor knocked unconscious.
"Oh my god!" Amy screamed her hands slamming over her mouth.
"Sorry, Doctor, But you weren't gonna let us do this. Hope you find room in at least one of your hearts to forgive me one day." Rose whispered kissing his forehead gently before she straightened up.
"Rose, What-?" Jack shook his head in disbelief.
"He'll get over it, I hope. Cmon let's get him in the chair then save your boyfriend." Rose grinned going to the console.
"Rose-"
"Listen, if we can get our happily ever after then so can you, Jack. It's like mum always used to tell me 'love is always worth the risk.' Besides, I did this to you. The least I can do is give you someone to share your immortal life with." Rose told him. Jack nodded and started to lift up the unconscious timelord.
"Hang on, what's happening?" Rory asked Rose after checking over the Doctor seeing that the timelord would be fine except for a major headache.
"True love." Jack grunted as he dragged the doctor over to sit in the console chair. There that was at least a little better.
"You knocked him out!" Amy exclaimed.
"Aren't you an observant one." Rose muttered as she started rushing around the console tapping buttons and switching levers.
"What in the hell are you doing?" Rory questioned more than a bit curious.
"Hijacking the tardis, flying her through space and time." Rose grinned.
"But, the Doctor is the only one who can fly the tardis. Well besides River." Amy objected looking at Rose skeptically unsure of whether to be scared of her or angry with her.
"Never heard of her, but the Doctor taught us all to fly it once and I think I've seen him run around it enough to know what to do." Rose replied tapping a series of buttons.
"But the nobs 'n things are lighting up right before you hit them." Rory noticed.
Rose laughed. "The tardis helps too. We have a special connection her and I. I stole her heart in addition to both of his." Rose paused in her racing around the console to lightly kiss the Doctor's cheek before continuing to rush to button to button.
"Jack the date!" Rose nodded to the part of the console across from her.
"One of the Worst days of my life here we come." Jack grinned inputing the date and time the tardis landing successfully. 'I'm coming to save you Ianto.'
Woohoo! And that's ch 4! Stick around for ch 5 and tell me what you think in the comments!
