A.N- Oh dear both of my fics have an odd number of reviews and I'm trying not to freak out about it (Slightly twitches). Anyways here is another chapter, it doesn't start exactly where the other one left off. I am going to do that with most of my chapters for now on, just because I can. Thanks everyone for reading:)

Scarlet ran through a hallway, dragging Clara behind her. She didn't know where the Doctor was, probably caught up in some of the TARDIS's pranks. He seemed pretty upset about the prank that she had pulled on him this morning, and the rest of the day had been like hell. This wasn't really a prank war as the TARDIS implied, a war would be two opposing sides battling. This was just a spaceship that they couldn't escape from pulling hardcore pranks on them where ever they turned.

"Look out!" Clara yelled as the paint filled balloons fell from the ceiling. There was no way to dodge them, they bright pink liquid covering the clothing that Scarlet was already not particularly happy that she was wearing. But hey, when the machine that puts the clothes in your closet decides she wants to prank her guests, your gonna find some funky clothing in there.

Scarlet finally found what she was looking for, her room. She pulled Clara in before the TARDIS could switch up the rooms, again, and plopped herself onto the bed, panting like a dog. Both girls burst out laughing.

"I can't believe she did that to your hair." Scarlet tried to sound concerned, but let out a giggle as she stroked Clara's now bleach blond hair.

"The old bleach in the shampoo bottle trick, I don't think I will he able to shower onboard again, but look at you!" Clara stroked some of the oversized clothes draped on Scarlet's body. "She gave you the whole tweed package!" Scarlet grumbled. The TARDIS had replaced all her clothes with the Doctor's, so she had no choice other to wear his oversized monkey suit.

The TARDIS wouldn't let them take a break from the pranks. The second they stopped talking, water started to quickly fill the room.

"She's trying to bloody kill us!" Clara exclaimed.

"We need to get out of here."

"How, she locked the doors!" The water had reached their necks. Scarlet started to fiddle with her vortex manipulator, grumbling that she didn't know any codes. She would have to call Jack. She pushed a few buttons and screamed into the device.

"Jack, I'll do anything, just send me a week forward, same place!" They both had to swim up to keep the water from coming over their heads. Jack delivered, coordinates filling the screen. Scarlet grabbed Clara's hand and pushed the glowing button right as the water hit the ceiling.


Interlude: The night before-

"I am not sleeping alone tonight." Clara said, frowning as she stroked her now blonde hair.

"I'll sleep with you." Scarlet smiled, then frowned. "I mean, sleep near you, or I don't even need to sleep, I'll just chill in your room."

"That sounds nice, thanks." Clara smiled.

"Oh you two are a bunch of babies. The TARDIS would never play a prank on me, I don't need to worry." The Doctor said.

"Do what you want Doctor, but she said war. Now unless you're Switzerland, that means you're involved." Scarlet smiled, then walked off with Clara, who agreed they would spend the night in Scarlet's room.

XXXX

The Doctor decided to sleep that night. He usually didn't need to but all these young girls running around the TARDIS were really tiring him out. He had dealt with two companions at a time, but these two were so full of energy. It was like he was the companion, them dragging him along on adventures. He curled up in bed and hoped that he would wake up with the same hair, unlike Clara.

He woke up abruptly and alertly, first feeling is hair and the rest of him to make sure everything was still there. He still had his hair and his chin, which was good. A look in the mirror told him everything else on his body was accounted for. Next was to shower. He smelt all of his hair product to make sure there was no bleach or hair remover to find everything clean, normal.

The TARDIS likes me too much, she wouldn't prank me.

But she did prank him, and since she knew him so well, he hit her right where it hurt. He found his normal clothes laid out on his bed, which he got dressed in quickly, except one thing was missing.

"Where is my bowtie?" The Doctor asked himself. He checked the bed, then under it. When his search came negative, he check his closet and the remains of his bedroom. Not one bowtie to be found. He found dozens of tweed jackets, his Sherlock Holmes costume, multiple dress shirts, an old pinstripe suit and his church outfit, but not one single bowtie.

He ran around his room, yelling for Clara and Scarlet.

"What is it Doctor?" Scarlet came in, dressed exactly like him. He frowned at her. "Don't ask."

"You didn't happen to receive a bowtie with that get-up of yours?" He asked.

"Yeah, but I left it in my room, I'll never put on one of those silly things." Before she could finish answering, The Doctor ran out of his room and into the hallway, opening every door hoping it was Scarlet's. Before he could make it far down the hall, Scarlet heard a Slosh noise. He came back to his room covered in shaving cream.

Interlude Concluded


Scarlet landed on her feet, but she wasn't in her room. She looked around to see Jack's boring old apartment with all of its white-walled glory. He really needed to redecorate.

"Seriously Jack? I said same place, different time. This is same time, different place." She didn't even look at him. He already started hysterically laughing as she planted feet on his carpet.

"What happened to you?" He made out between laughs. "And who is that?" He pointed to Clara, who was unconscious on the floor.

"Help me move her to the couch and I'll answer your questions." Jack quickly picked up the girl and gently planted her on one of the couches. He then sat down on the other and patted the cushion next to him.

"Tell Uncle Jack of your worries."

"More like Great great grandfather Jack."

"Hey, in a few regenerations you will be as old as I am." Scarlet sat up a little bit.

"Really, I'll live that long?"

"Yeah, but that's not important, why are you soaking wet, pink, and in tweed?" Scarlet told him the whole story, starting with the Slitheen and ending with almost drowning in the only place she felt comfortable in the world.

"Hey if you think that's bad, imagine getting killed by a Christmas tree."

"Was that on of your many deaths?"

"No, but it almost happened to someone I knew." Scarlet looked down at her clothes with disgust. "Why don't you go shower, I'll go to the shop down the street and pick you up something."

"You're a doll Jack, but what if Clara wakes up?"

"She'll be out for another half hour at least, I promise I'll be fast." Scarlet didn't want to leave Clara here alone and unconscious, but she needed to get some new clothing.

"Fine, but be quick." Scarlet grumbled. She was still in a bad mood from all the bullshit she was put through today, but a warm shower would help her relax. Jack left quickly, leaving Scarlet to jump in the shower and wash all the pink paint off of her skin. She turned the water all the way to the hottest setting, anyone who wasn't a Time Lord would have gotten a nasty burn, and leaned her head back. She felt relaxed for the first time that day.

Jack must have been pretty quick with shopping, Scarlet heard the door open in clothes while she was washing her hair. He left some clothing outside the bathroom door and sat on the couch parallel to the one the bottle blond was resting on. He had determined her clothing size earlier and left a dress and a pair of shoes near her feet. He didn't get to move away before she started to stir. She got up abruptly.

"What just happened? Where am I?" She was already on her feet, looking around the room.

"You should stay down, you've been out for an hour."

"Stay down? No, where's Scarlet?"

"Wow, you're bossy." Jack said with a little bit of flirtatiousness in his voice.

"Scarlet!?" She was getting nervous and jumpy. Jack didn't have much experience with girls like these, only the ones that wanted to get 'jumpy' in his pants.

"Just...Calm down, will you!"

"SCARLET!" Clara heard a thud like a door slamming shut. A wet haired Scarlet walked in with a pair of jeans, a white blouse and a pair of high top black converse..

"God damn it Clara, will you calm down?" Clara ran up and tried to give her a hug, but was pushed away due to the fact she was still covered in pink paint.

"Where are we? What happened? I thought we were in your room-"

"This," Scarlet said pointing to her VM. "Is a vortex manipulator, pretty much a hand-held time machine." She took a break to make sure Clara comprehended what she was saying. "That," She said pointing to Jack. "Is Captain Jack Harkness, or Jack, he gives me the codes so we can escape from drowning in crazy time machines." Clara took a deep breath.

"So you lied to us about that watch thing?"

"Just because the Doctor can't know I have one. Do you promise not to tell him?"

"Will pretty boy let me use his shower?" She said pointing to the Captain.

"Yes." Jack and Scarlet said at the same time.

"Then I will." Clara grabbed the clothing Jack laid out for her and strode into the bathroom, leaving Scarlet and Jack alone sitting on the couch that wasn't covered in pink paint.

"Do you think she'll tell him?" Jack asked.

"Nah, I think we'll be fine."

"Wait, if you weren't planning to tell the Doctor, how were you going to explain being gone for a week?" Scarlet laughed.

"The TARDIS is infinite, we could have been anywhere." Scarlet winked at Jack who then let out a laugh himself. "Oh and I wanted to thank you."

"For what?"

"The converse, my last pair got melted by Daleks." Jack stood up.

"Actually, that's why I brought you here,"

"Why, to buy me new shoes?"

"No, to say sorry for the call."

"I knew it, you were drunk!"

"Not drunk, just depressed." His tone of voice went more serious along with his facial expressions. "I had some stuff going on."

"You poor thing, Do you want a hug?"

"Oh, you know I want more than that." Jack's face went back to a childish smile. Scarlet ignored him and tackled the Captain in a hug.

"Well a hug is all you're gonna get." They hugged for a while, it was nice. Jack's warm muscular body wrapped around Scarlet curves in a comforting affection. When they finally released, Jack had a huge smile on his face.

"Thanks." Jack had finally found something constant in his life, Scarlet being there for him. Boy did it feel good.

They spent the rest of the time Clara was in the shower talking about their confrontations with the Daleks and Jack talked about the Doctor's previous regenerations. She was intrigued by his 9th.

"Boy he sounds fun, I want to meet him."

"Maybe you will, on your travels." He pointed to the vortex manipulator. Clara walked out of the bathroom in the green dress Jack had gotten her.

"Nice taste pretty boy, you buy dresses a lot?"

"Actually, yes." He said, raising his head up high. Scarlet and Clara gave him a confused look, "Kidding." Scarlet got off the couch.

"Well we must be going, Jack can you put a week from when we got here. Like you were supposed to."

"Yes ma'am." He said sarcastically. He punched in the numbers and the yellow button started to flash. Scarlet walked up to Jack and gave him a hug.

"If you ever need me, just give me a holler." Scarlet smiled.

"Will do." He gave her a salute. Scarlet walked over to Clara and grabbed her hand.

"Come on Clara, let's hope the TARDIS got bored of torturing the Doctor after a week." She pushed the button and they were off.


Jack was a little off, he landed them in the right time, but they ended up in the control room instead of Scarlet's. Thankfully, both Clara and Scarlet landed on their feet and conscious, or else they would have had some difficulty explaining it to the Doctor who ran in a minute after they landed.

The Doctor looked a mess. He was covered in just about everything. Dirt, slime, a variety of colored paints, water, and some other alien goos and messes. He had everything on him, except a bowtie. He looked cross as he panted heavily.

"Where...have...you...two been for... a whole week!"

She locked us..." Clara started.

"In my room. But she let us out so I guess that means this 'war' is over." Scarlet finished. The TARDIS let out a churning noise that sounded like an agreement.

"But how... are you guys so clean?"

"I have a shower in my room, Doctor."

"Good, good... this is over, I'm going to wash up. I haven't showered in a whole week!" He yelled the last part as he exited into the hallway towards his room. As soon as he was gone, something fell from the ceiling onto Clara and Scarlet. Clara tried to hold in a scream as to not alert the Doctor. Scarlet looked at her new clothes, now covered in fake blood (She hoped), and moaned. She turned her head to see the monitor blinking. It read. Your secret is safe with me. They both grumbled all the way to their rooms, depositing themselves back into the shower.


A.N- Wohoo, that one took a while. What is your favorite regeneration of The Doctor? I've got to say I really like 9 and maybe I'll put him in a plot, maybe. Hope you guys liked it and make sure to review!
