I need to apologize, I was very tardy on this chapter, and its not even a long one. I was going to expand on it, but I got very busy in the last couple of weeks, and totaly forgot, so I am very sorry for being tardy and having nothing good come out of it. I will say, its not a filler chapter, its still got plot in it, the next one probably will be though, again, sorry.
Once again, I'm apologizing, I ment to put this up about two days ago, got busy, forgot. I feel terrible, and its not even a long chapter, I'm so sorry.
Alice took off into a run for the front gate out. She had to see this man, this Doctor, that she somehow knew he would understand and could help. Jack saw her go, and went flying after her. She made it up to the main door when Jack caught her, trying to hold her still. She fought her way out of his arms by scratching, biting, and wriggling. Pushing through the door, she turned to see Jack shaking his girl-bitten hand. Before she had a chance to turn around , she ran into something tall and solid. She hit the ground hard, scraping her hand on the pavement.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I was just coming to see if Jack was still flirting in this... ello..? Who might you be? You weren't here before..." looming over Alice was the man from the screen, The Doctor. Now that she looked at him, she realized it wasn't who she remembered the Doctor being. His bowtie is what really hinted her toward this decision, her Doctor didn't wear bowties.
"Doctor. It's good to see you. I see you've regenerated again, Still not a red head either. How's this one compared to tall-and-skinny?"
"Well, Jack, you look a little aged there, birthday coming up? No, I don't really remember what it felt like in that body; just this one now. But tell me, Jack, I'm the one with companions, this girl isn't a part of your team, who is she?"
"Well...She is..."
"Alice Tyler, resident of Torchwood tower, girl with faded memories, and responsibility of Jack Harkness. Pleasure to see you again, Doctor." Alice had been agitated that they would talk about her like she wasn't there, so she had taken her stand.
"But... I've never met you before...Have I been here, in the future? Why would I want to see Jack twice..?"
"Thank you, Doctor, but no, you haven't. I don't know how and knows you; I doubt she even knows how. She's been losing memories for about two years now, since she came through the rift, and..."
"Wait, wait, wait... Did you say, 'through the rift?' no human should be coming through the rift. That just... Doesn't happen..." The Doctor started to work out how this was possible, how this earth-human girl fell through the rift... "AH! Jack! She's like you!"
"Uh...no, she's not just like me. She doesn't 'do' what I 'do.'"
"No, she's like you, she's a paradox! No human can get through the rift, plus the fact that she just happened to land at your Tower, with someone like yourself in it! Don't you get it? She didn't just 'happen' to be here, someone sent her! And!.."
"Doctor! Doctor. May I talk with you privately? There's something you need to see..." Jack took the Doctor inside, when Alice tried to follow, Jack waved her off. He didn't want the Doctor bringing back any unwanted memories for her; at least, that's what he told her. He gave her twenty bucks to go and have a night on the town, just this once, with his permission. As she was walking away, she heard Jack say one intriguing phrase, "Doctor, I believe I know exactly what you're thinking about Alice..."
Thanks to my reviewers, xDemonChickx and BananaLollypop, my ONLY reviewers( I had a lot of hits on this stories, unless those two reread a bunch, I don't think there are enough reviews to equal that... I really do LOVE reviews) I just finished watching season 6 of the Doctor, and now I'm back to Torchwood, sorta. I'm working my brain back into writers mode. I hope to get a new chapter very, VERY soon. If I don't... I will punish myself by washing our dog.(Our dog HATES water)({I just realized I sounded very much like the Doctor there, been watching that WAY too much.})
Anyway, please read and review, a much better(longer) chapter is coming!
