The Right Way

by hunterofartemis080

The Time Lords decided to love each other again, for better or for worse, but there's a revelation coming that threatens to break their fragile ties apart. With the Silence looming, calling for the death of a Time Lord, whose resolve will break first? Or will both Time Lords be left in the dark? Forth in the Crossed Stars. Time Lady - 11/OC

8. TARDISes

TARDISes

The moment they found Idris, sitting in a large cage, the Doctor strode towards her while Adelaide stayed a bit to the back. "How did you know about the boxes? You said they'd make us angry. How did you know?"

Idris just stayed sitting. "Ah, it's my thief and mermaid."

Adelaide stepped up closer to the Doctor. "Who are you?"

Idris opened her eyes and grinned. "It's about time. I expected better of you, mermaid."

"Who are you?" she repeated.

"Do you not know me? Just because they put me in here?" She looked between the Time Lords.

"They said you were dangerous."

"Not the cage, stupid," Idris moved forward to kneel close to the bar, pressing her face against it. "In here. They put me in here. I'm the…oh, what do you call me? We travel. I go…" she breathed, making the sound of the TARDIS.

Both Time Lords' eyes widened, but it was the Doctor who spoke. "The TARDIS?"

"Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Yes, that's it. Names are funny. It's me." She stood to be at their level. "I'm the TARDIS."

"No, you're not," the Doctor glared. "You're a bitey, mad lady. The TARDIS is up and downy stuff in a big blue box."

Idris nodded. "Yes, that's me. A Type 40 TARDIS. I was already a museum piece when both of you were young," she looked between the Time Lords before focusing on the Doctor, "and the first time you touched my console you said…"

"I said you were the most beautiful thing I had ever known."

"And then you stole me." Idris smirked. "And I stole you."

"I borrowed you."

Adelaide opened her mouth, but Idris cut her off. "Borrowing implies the intention to return the thing that was taken. What makes you think I would ever give you back?"

"You're the TARDIS?"

Idris nodded. "Yes."

"My TARDIS?" Adelaide didn't bother correcting him because technically it was still his TARDIS, no matter how long she traveled with him...and, so far, it hadn't really been that long in the scope of a Time Lord's life.

"My Doctor." She looked towards Adelaide. "My mermaid." She grinned, taking a step back. "Oh, we have now reached the point in the conversation where you open the lock." Adelaide soniced the door, letting Idris step up and examine them. "Are all people like this?"

"Like what?"

"So much bigger on the inside." She paused, stepping between them. "I'm…oh, what is that word? It's so…big, so complicated. It's so sad."

The Doctor shook his head. "But why? Why pull the living soul from a TARDIS and pop it in a tiny human head? What does it want you for?"

Idris turned to face them again. "Oh, it doesn't want me."

Adelaide frowned. "How do you know?"

"House eats TARDISes."

Both of them froze. "House what?" the Doctor asked. "What do you mean?"

Idris shrugged. "I don't know. It's something I heard you say."

"When?"

"In the future."

"House eats TARDISes?"

Idris nodded. "There you go. What are fish fingers?"

Adelaide shook her head. "When do I say that?"

"You don't."

"House eats rift energy and TARDISes are full of it," Adelaide reasoned. "Cooked rift energy, like processed food."

"Mmm, fish fingers."

"Do fish have fingers?"

Adelaide shook her head again, looking at Idris without really seeing her. "It's impossible to eat a TARDIS, it would destroy you. Unless…"

"Unless you deleted the TARDIS matrix first," Idris finished for her.

"So it deleted you."

"But House can't just delete a TARDIS consciousness. That would blow a hole in the universe. So he pulls out the matrix, sticks it in a living receptacle and then it feeds off the remaining Artron energy." Idris stopped, eyes wide as she looked between both of them. "You were about to say all that. I don't suppose either of you has to now."

The Doctor froze. "I sent Amy and Rory in there. They'll be eaten!" He turned and started to run out of the room, Adelaide pulling out her phone as she followed.

"Amy? Rory? You need to get out of the TARDIS, now."

"Adelaide, something's wrong."

"It's House. It wants the TARDIS. You just need to leave."

Amy sighed. "We can't. You and the Doctor locked the door, remember?"

The Doctor glanced back at Adelaide, being close enough to overhear the phone call. "I already opened it!"

She scoffed. "You stupid well haven't!"

The Time Lords ran out into the junkyard, the Doctor pointing his sonic at the TARDIS again. "Open!"

They heard Amy hammering on the inside of the TARDIS. "Doctor! Adelaide!"

"Open this door!" the Doctor banged on it. And then the TARDIS started to dematerialize. "Amy! Rory!"

Adelaide tried the phone again. "Amy? Amy, can you hear me?" Nothing.

The Doctor turned to look at Adelaide. "Okay, right. I don't…I really don't know what to do."

She shook her head. "It's a new feeling."

|C-S|

They hurried back to where Idris was waiting, Auntie and Uncle off to the side. "It's gone," the Doctor called.

"Eaten?"

"No, it left. Not eaten, hi-jacked." The Doctor started to pace. "But why?"

"It's time for us both to go, and keep together," Auntie said as she and Uncle wrapped blankets around themselves.

Adelaide turned on them, leaving the Doctor to pace. "Where are you going?"

"Well, we're dying, my love," they walked closer to her. "It's time for Auntie and Uncle to pop off."

"I'm against it."

"It's your fault, isn't it, sweets? Because you told House it was the last TARDIS. House can't feed on them if there's none more coming, can he?"

Uncle sat. "So now he's off to your universe to find more TARDISes."

Adelaide shook her head. "It won't."

"Oh, it'll think of something." Auntie nodded before collapsing to the side. Adelaide rushed over, scanning the woman quickly.

"Actually," Uncle said, standing, "I feel fine." But then he fell as well.

Adelaide looked up at the Doctor. "They're dead."

Idris grabbed the Doctor's arm. "We need to go to where I landed, quickly."

"Why?"

"Because we are there in three minutes." Idris stood, still holding his arm. "We need to go now." She ran towards the door but didn't get far before she hunched over, grabbing her side. "Ow! Roughly how long do these bodies last?"

The Doctor scanned her. "You're dying."

"She's not meant to be in a flesh body, of course she's dying," Adelaide called, walking up.

Idris nodded. "I could blow the casing in no time." She frowned at the Doctor. "No, stop it. Don't get emotional." She paused. "Hmm, that's what the orangey girl says. You're the Doctor. Focus. Be Adelaide."

"On what? How? I'm a madman with a box, without a box!" he snatched his sonic back from Idris, who'd taken it to read. "I'm stuck down the plughole at the end of the universe on a stupid old junkyard!"

Adelaide's eyes widened and she grinned. "Oh…"

"Oh what?"

She looked to the Doctor, watching the same idea occur to him. "We're not."

"Not what?"

"It's not just a junkyard."

"What is it then?"

The Doctor grabbed Adelaide's hand. "It's a TARDIS junkyard! Come on!" he pulled her towards the door, only for her to make him stop and look at Idris.

"Do you have a name?"

Idris sighed. "Taken you long enough, mermaid. I thought you would have asked sooner."

Adelaide raised her eyebrows. "What should we call you?"

"I think you both call me…" Idris smirked "Sexy."

The Doctor's eyes widened. "Only when we're alone."

Idris looked around the room. "We are alone."

Adelaide laughed. "Well, then come on, Sexy."

|C-S|

The trio of them stood on a small hill that overlooked the largest section of the junkyard, looking down. "A valley of half-eaten TARDISes," the Doctor whispered. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"I'm thinking that all of my sisters are dead," Idris said. "That they were devoured, and that we are looking at their corpses."

The Doctor winced. "Ah, sorry. No, I wasn't thinking that."

"No. You were thinking you could build a working TARDIS console out of broken remnants of a hundred different models. And you don't care that it's impossible."

He shrugged. "It's not impossible as long as we're alive. Rory and Amy need us. So, yeah, we're going to build a TARDIS."

|C-S|

Idris stood next to a pile of junk, studying a small circuit, while the Doctor was in the process of pulling a large wall along by chains, and Adelaide was trying to remember what little she knew about how TARDISes actually worked.

"Bond the tube directly into the Tachyon Diverter," Idris called to the Doctor.

"Yes, yes, I have actually rebuilt a TARDIS before, you know. I know what I'm doing!"

"Manners!" Adelaide called.

Idris scoffed. "You're like a nine-year-old trying to rebuild a motorbike in his bedroom. And you never read the instructions."

Adelaide sighed, guessing that she wouldn't be able to interrupt the pair of them. "No wonder you get along so well."

"I always read the instructions!"

"There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?"

"That's not instructions!"

"There's an instruction at the bottom," Adelaide called over. "What does it say?"

"Pull to open."

She nodded. "And what do you do?"

"I push!"

Idris sighed. "Every single time. Seven hundred years. Police Box doors open out the way."

The Doctor threw down the chains and stalked over to Idris. "I think I have earned the right to open my front doors anyway I want!"

Idris scoffed. "Your front doors? Have you any idea how childish that sounds?"

"You are not my mother!" He walked away again.

"And you are not my child."

The Doctor spun. "You know, since we're talking, with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you…" he pointed at Idris "have never been very reliable."

"And you have?"

"You don't always take me where I wanted to go."

"No, but I always took you where you needed to go." She nodded towards Adelaide. "I helped you find her."

Adelaide stood. "Even when I was a human?" Idris nodded.

The Doctor, however, was thinking of something else. "Look at us, talking. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could always talk, even when you're stuck inside the box?"

Idris turned back towards the Doctor. "You know I'm not constructed that way. I exist across all space and time, and you both just talk and run around and…bring home strays." She nearly collapsed again, gripping her side, though Adelaide caught her before she fell.

"You okay?"

"One of the kidneys has already failed," Idris took a deep breath. "It doesn't matter. We need to finish assembling the console."

The Doctor whistled. "Using a console without a proper shell. It's not going to be safe."

"This body has about eighteen minutes left to live. The Universe we're in will reach Absolute Zero in three hours. Safe is relative."

Adelaide helped Idris stand as the Doctor walked back to the wall he'd been pulling. "Then we need to get a move on, eh, old girl?"

Before Adelaide stepped away, she touched Idris's shoulder. "Are you the reason we kept finding each other?"

Idris only smiled. "The universe sang for you."

|C-S|

Somehow, they'd actually managed to construct something that looked vaguely like a TARDIS console. Idris was examining another pile while Adelaide was checking that everything was properly secured and the Doctor dragged over what would become the time rotor.

"You'll need to install the time rotor," Idris said, just as the Doctor did so.

"How is this going to make it through the rift?" the Doctor shook his head, frowning at the console. "How?"

"We're almost done." Adelaide pointed at something on the console. "Thrust diffuser?"

He nodded. "Retroscope? Blue…thingy."

Idris looked up at them, holding a coat hanger. "Do you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago?" she asked the Doctor.

He glanced at her. "I chose you. You were unlocked."

"Of course I was. I wanted to see the Universe, so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away." The Time Lords left the TARDIS to go stand by her, looking at the makeshift console. "And you were the only one mad enough."

The Doctor grinned. "Right. Perfect, look at that. What could possibly go wrong?" A piece fell off the console. "That's fine. That always happens." Adelaide just raised her eyebrows at him. "No, hang on, wait." He turned and grabbed velvet ropes from another pile of junk, following Idris and Adelaide back towards the console. They used the rope to strap themselves in. "Right, okay, let's go. Follow that TARDIS!"

The TARDIS they'd built hummed for a few seconds before powering down again, sparking. "Oh no, come on. There's rift energy everywhere! You can do it…okay, diverting all power to thrust. Let's be having you." He tried again, but the piece of console he was working on sparked. "No, no, no, no!"

Idris glanced over. "What's wrong?"

Adelaide shook her head. "It can't hold the charge. It can't even start."

The Doctor hit his hand against the console. "There's no power!" He looked over at Idris, who was fascinated with her reflection in the mirror. "We've got nothing!"

"Oh, my beautiful idiot." Idris smiled. "You have what you've always had. You've got me." She kissed her middle finger, making her eyes glow golden, before she touched the rotor, making it finally power up. A golden haze appeared around them as they dematerialized.

"Whoo hoo!" the Doctor cheered, clinging to the console as they traveled.

"We've locked on to them!" Idris called to them over the quite loud noise. "They'll have to lower the shields when I'm close enough to phase inside."

"Get a message to Amy," Adelaide said. "The telepathic circuits are online."

"Which one's Amy? The pretty one?" Idris focused on the mirror in front of her. "Hello, Pretty."

The Doctor leaned over. "Don't worry, telepathic messaging." He frowned, who Idris was communicating with finally focusing for him. "No, that's Rory."

"You have to go to the old control room," Idris said, ignoring the Time Lord. "I'm putting the route in your head. When you get there use the purple slider on the nearest panel to lower the shields."

The Doctor leaned over again, pulling himself out of Adelaide's reach. "The pretty one?"

"You'll have about twelve seconds before the room goes into phase with the invading matrix. I'll send you the pass key when you get there. Good luck!"

"How's he going to be able to take down the shields anyway? The House is in the control room."

Idris shrugged. "I directed him to one of the old control rooms."

The Doctor frowned. "There aren't any old control rooms. They were all deleted or remodeled."

"I archive them, for neatness. I've got about thirty now."

"But I've only changed the desktop, what, a dozen times?"

Adelaide scoffed. "We're discussing a TARDIS, Doctor. She's not limited with our timeline."

"But you can't archive something that hasn't happened yet."

Idris smirked. "You can't."

The Time Lords rushed around the console, Idris working on keeping out of their way. "Keep going!" the Doctor cheered. "You're doing it, you sexy thing!"

"See, you do call me that! Is it my name?"

The Doctor grinned. "You bet it's your name!"

Idris cheered and focused again, sending Rory a message. "They did it! Shields down! We're coming through! Get out of the way or you'll be atomized." Rory said something. "I don't know."

Adelaide grabbed a bit of the console. "It's not going to hold!"

They essentially crashed into the TARDIS, appearing in a golden swirl off to the side of an old control room.

"Doctor!" Amy shouted, pulling herself up from where she and Rory had hidden. "Adelaide!"

Idris winced again, and Adelaide kept her from falling. "Not good, not good at all. How do you walk around in these things?"

Adelaide helped Idris sit. "We're almost there, you can do this."

The Doctor stepped forward, rubbing his hands together. "Amy, this is, well…she's my TARDIS. Except she's a woman, and she's my TARDIS."

Amy pointed at Idris. "She's the TARDIS?"

He nodded. "And she's a woman. She's a woman, and she's the TARDIS."

"Did you wish really hard?"

He grimaced. "Shut up. Not like that."

"Hello," Idris said. "I'm…Sexy."

The Doctor pointed at the humans. "Still shut up." Then he spun on Adelaide, who was smirking. "And you?" He looked slightly betrayed.

She shrugged. "Even I can admit it's funny."

"You called her Sexy too!"

"The environment has been breached," House said, making the walls and lights glow green. Adelaide stood, turning in a circle. "Nephew, kill them all."

Rory looked around. "Where's Nephew?"

"He was standing right where you materialized," Amy pointed towards where that was.

The Doctor nodded. "Ah. Well, he must have been redistributed."

"Meaning what?"

"You're breathing him," Adelaide said.

Amy grimaced, covering her mouth. "Oh, come on."

The Doctor just sighed. "Another Ood I failed to save."

"Doctor, Adelaide, I did not expect you," House said.

"Well, that's the pair of us all over, isn't it?" the Doctor clapped. "Lovely, old, unexpected us, not that Adelaide is old. Me, on the other hand…" Even though technically, they were only about two hundred years apart in age, but Adelaide didn't feel like mentioning that in the moment.

"The big question is," House interrupted, "now you're here, how to dispose of you? I could play with gravity…" they all fell to the ground, pushed by an unseen force, before they were released. "Or I could evacuate the air from this room and watch you choke."

And then the air left the room, leaving them all to gasp for breath.

"You really don't want to do that," the Doctor managed to say and thankfully it was enough for House to let the air return.

"Why shouldn't I just kill you now?"

Adelaide coughed. "Because then we won't be able to help you."

The Doctor nodded. "Listen to your engines. Just listen to them. You don't have the thrust and you know it. Right now we're your only hope for getting out of your little bubble through the rift, and into our universe. And our's the one with the food in."

"You just have to promise not to kill us. Just promise."

"You can't be serious!" Amy shouted.

Adelaide nodded. "We're very serious. I'm certain it's an entity of its word."

"Doctor, she's burning up!" Rory called, having hurried to Idris's side. "She's asking for water."

The Doctor hurried over, kneeling by Idris's side and taking her hand. "Hey. Hang in there, old girl. Not long now. It'll be over soon."

Idris smiled. "I always liked it when you call me old girl."

"You want me to give my word?" House asked them. "Easy. I promise."

"I trust you. Just delete about thirty percent of the TARDIS rooms." Adelaide didn't care if her knowledge of the TARDIS wasn't completely accurate because she knew one thing for certain. "Activate subroutine Sigma nine."

"Why would you tell me this?"

Adelaide shrugged. "We want to return to our universe as badly as you do. And I'm polite."

"Yes, I can delete rooms. And I can also rid myself of vermin if I delete this room first. Thank you, Adelaide. Very helpful. Goodbye, Time Lords. Goodbye, little humans. Goodbye, Idris."

There was a bright light…but they only reappeared in the main control room, exactly as they had been when they left the old one.

"Yes, I mean, you could do that, but it just won't work," Adelaide said, smirking, as the Doctor stood. "There's a hardwired fail safe that living things from rooms that are deleted are automatically deposited in the main control room."

"But thanks for the lift."

"We are in your universe now, Time Lords. Why should it matter to me in which room you die? I can kill you just as easily here as anywhere. Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords."

"Fear us," the Doctor said, looking up. "We've killed all of them." He came to Adelaide's side, taking her hand for a second. "But yeah, you're right. You've completely won. Oh, you can kill us in oodles of really inventive ways, but before you do kill us allow us and our friends Amy and Rory to congratulate you on being an absolutely worthy opponent." The three of them started clapping, Rory still speaking quietly with Idris. Adelaide was thankful that the Doctor had taken over negotiating; she likely would have been able to manage...except for how much knowledge of a Type 40 TARDIS she would have needed to claim.

Amy shook her head, not quite getting it. "Congratulations?"

"Yep, you've defeated us. Me, Adelaide, and our lovely friends here, and last but definitely not least, the TARDIS matrix herself. A living consciousness you ripped out of this very control room and locked up into a human body. And look at her."

"She's stopped breathing," Rory called.

"Enough, that is enough."

The Doctor shook his head. "No. it's never enough. You forced the TARDIS into a body so she'd burn out safely a very long way away from this control room. A flesh body can't hold the TARDIS matrix and live. Look at her body, House."

"And you think I should mourn her?"

Adelaide smirked. "I think you should be very careful about what you let back into this control room."

"You took her from her home. But now she's back in the box again, and she's free." Idris opened her mouth and let the golden Vortex energy stream out of her, filling the room.

"No! Doctor, stop this!" House screamed, sounding like he was in pain. "Argh! Stop this now!"

The Doctor cheered. "Oh, look at my girl. Look at her go. Bigger on the inside, you see, House?"

"Make her stop!"

"That's your problem. Size of a planet, but inside you're just so small."

"Make it stop!"

"Finish him off, girl!"

"Ow! Don't do this! Argh!"

Adelaide touched the Doctor's shoulder, turning him to look at the stairs of the TARDIS where a vision of Idris had appeared, formed like a ghost from the gold. "Doctor, Adelaide, are you there?" she called. "It's so very dark in here."

The Time Lords stepped closer. "We're here."

Idris looked down. "I've bene looking for a word. A big, complicated word, but so sad. I've found it now."

"What word?"

"Alive. I'm alive."

The Doctor frowned. "Alive isn't sad."

"It's sad when it's over. I'll always be here, but this is when we talked, and now even that has come to an end. There's something I didn't get to say to you."

"Goodbye?" he asked, reaching for Adelaide's hand.

Idris smiled. "No. I just wanted to say hello. Hello, Doctor. Hello, Adelaide. It's so very, very nice to meet you."

"Please…" the Doctor whispered. "I don't want you to…please."

But all Idris could do was give them one final smile before letting the golden light surround her and the normal wheezing sound return to the control room.

The Doctor turned and braced himself against the console, head lowered, as tears came to his eyes. Adelaide walked with him, wrapping her arm around him, resting her head against his shoulder. They stayed there in silence, mourning the loss of Idris, of all the Time Lords and TARDISes House had destroyed, but together.

The last two Time Lords in any universe, Time Lords Victorious.

The last children of Gallifrey.

And as they stood there, the stars cheered.

|C-S|

Later, as the Doctor attempted to put a firewall around the matrix of the TARDIS, Adelaide was somewhere else inside the TARDIS, he didn't actually know where. She'd just said that she needed to think about something and left.

Rory, who was on the upper level of the console room, looked down when the Doctor made something spark. "How's it going under there?"

"Just putting a firewall around the matrix. Almost done."

Rory and Amy came down the stairs. "Are you going to make her talk again?" Amy asked.

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Spacey wacey, isn't it?"

The Doctor shrugged. "Well, actually, it's because the Time Lords discovered that if you take an eleventh dimensional matrix and fold it into a mechanical then…" Rory crossed two wires and made quite a large spark. "Yes, it's spacey wacey!"

Rory winced. "Sorry." The Doctor stood to study the wires he'd touched. "At the end, she was talking. She kept repeating something. I don't know what it meant."

'What did she say?"

"'The only water in the forest is the river'. She said we'd need to know that someday. It doesn't make sense, does it?"

The Doctor shrugged. "Not yet. You okay?"

Rory shook his head. "No. I watched her die. I shouldn't let it get to me, but it still does. I'm a nurse."

"Letting it get to you. You know what that's called? Being alive. Best thing there is. Being alive, right now, that's all that counts." He sat back in his swing chair. "Nearly finished. Two more minutes, then we're off. The Eye of Orion's restful, if you like restful. I can never really get the hand of restful; it's why Adelaide loves me." He touched the section of console closest to him. "What do you think, dear? Where shall we take the kids this time?"

Amy shook her head. "Look at you pair. It's always you and her, isn't it, long after the rest of us have gone. A boy and his box, off to see the universe."

He smiled. "Don't forget Adelaide; she'd kill you for that." Amy laughed. "But honestly, it's the best thing there is." There was another spark. "The House deleted all the bedrooms. I should probably make you two a new bedroom. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Amy and Rory spoke quickly with each other before turning back to the Time Lord. "Okay, er, Doctor, this time could we lose the bunk beds?"

He frowned. "No, bunk beds are cool. A bed with a ladder. You can't beat that." The humans looked annoyed. "It's your room. Out those stairs, keep walking till you find it. Off you pop.'

The humans began to leave, but then Rory paused. "Doctor, do you and Adelaide have a room?"

Amy pulled him away before the Doctor could answer.

However, he didn't have that long before Adelaide appeared, leaning sideways against a pillar. "Can we talk about something, Doctor?" He nodded. "Were you listening to what Idris was saying about us?"

"I don't think I was listening to the same things you were," he admitted, making her smile.

"She helped you find me, even when I was human," she began. "I asked her if she was the reason we kept finding each other, and she said 'the universe sang for you'." She nodded when his eyes widened. "Do you remember what the Master said, when he was discussing the fact that I somehow managed to find you, even as human?"

"He said we were Aligned."

"I think…I think it's possible."

The Doctor didn't know what he wanted to think at that moment. He could only stare at her, eyes wide.

Aligning…it was almost treated like a joke on Gallifrey. Something you would tease your friends about, something very few people took seriously. Almost everyone was Aligned at least to one person, so it wasn't considered that special.

But, sometimes, it would be something different.

All Aligning meant, technically, was that the two Time Lord's timelines intersected in fixed events. That meant that there were a few instances where they would meet, or some interactions they would have, that would happen no matter what version of the universe they were in or what paths their lives took. Most people were Aligned with at least one person and, generally, it meant nothing.

Most Time Lords didn't think much about being Aligned with some e, because generally there were only one or two of those fixed events in their interlocked time lines. Most Time Lords didn't even notice when those events happened.

But sometimes, there would be more than two. Sometimes, two Time Lords were so interlocked that there were countless fixed events scattered throughout their time lines. And that, in those extremely rare circumstances, was when Time Lords would say the stars, or the universe, were singing and shining brighter when those events passed.

All Adelaide had needed to say was that one phrase for him to know exactly what type of Aligning they were.

A/N: I'm happy to explain Aligning more if anyone needs more of an explanation. We will get a bit more throughout the story as the two take in this revelation, but since it is an original concept for this story, I completely understand if anyone needs more of an explanation.

Notes on reviews:

slytherpuffrules: Glad you enjoyed it :)

lautaro94: One of my favorites too. I do think that Adelaide and the Singer would like each other, but I'm not certain if they'd be friends or not. Definitely friendly, so long as they were introduced in the right circumstances. And when it comes to the twins...it depends on which version of them she meets. But I am interested in exploring how they would all get along and interact so, who knows, maybe a crossover is somewhere in the future.
