A/N:Short chapter, sorry. Yay! Someone reviewed! Thanks to Tigerdust. For shame on the rest of you, for shame...(just kidding)
On a different note, I have forgiven RTD for all the disusting Jack/Gwen in the past because 'Adrift' was fucking great! Eventhough it was Gwen centric I loved it. And who wouldn't? Janto sex scene, Jack being sweet and helping people, almost no Jack/Gwen (and where there was some Jack didn't resipricate!) and not to mention a great plot. Perfect!
Anyway...on with the show.
The Smile
"No, No ,No! We're not doing this." The Doctor tried futilely to get the TARDIS to reverse.
"If you think that you can trick me into seeing him you've another thing coming to you. The kind of thing that involves the sledge-hammer."
The TARDIS remained silent. The Doctor fiddled with various buttons for a few minutes longer then gave an exasperated sigh.
"Alright I'll go and talk to him, but the controls better be unjammed by the time I get back."
The TARDIS gave a happy little beep in reply. She was going to get what she wanted. The Doctor and Jack were going to talk and she was sure Jack would be coming home soon.
The Doctor looked at the monitor, at the man standing in front of the TARDIS. Jack looked pretty much the same as he had when the Doctor had said goodbye to him last, perhaps a little more dishevelled but more or less the same. The Doctor stared at the view screen for a long time before standing, bracing himself and walking towards the door. However, before he got there Jack poked his head around the door. His face was just as determined as the Doctor's but unlike his, Jack's smile was genuine.
"Hey there stranger. You know if your going to materialise in the middle of an organisation set up to destroy you, you really should lock the door."
"Nice to see you too Jack" was all the Doctor could manage. He had realised why he hadn't been able to stop thinking about Jack, it was that God damn irraistably charming smile.
The Doctor's hearts started to melt all over again.
