Author's note: Sorry for taking so long to put this up... I was having serious writer's block for awhile on how to continue this until (and this is going to sound really horrible... ) I watched the "End of Time" I finally got some ideas racing through my head again. Don't worry; it's not spoilery.
Chapter Five
This was turning into a real mess as everyone stared. Then again, nobody could pull their eyes away since the sudden visual had appeared on screen; even the techs backstage were so dumbfounded they had stopped working towards a solution.
The only one who wasn't completely mesmerized by the whole matter currently had a fist clenched tightly at his side; these definitely weren't fake versions like in the clips earlier, but why would they be here?
Inside the TARDIS, different problems were brewing.
"You still haven't told me why you're on the floor… or how you forgot who I am…" the man said.
"Well, you do look somewhat like…" he stopped as a sudden realization came to him. "No… It can't be…"
"What?" the other asked, seriously wondering what was going on.
He sighed. "Not Jack Harkness," he wined slightly.
"Wow, Doctor. I know you didn't like me, but GEEZ!"
"First of all, I'm NOT the Doctor."
"Oh…" Jack looked confused at this sudden realization. "Who are you, then?"
"I'm an actor who plays him on a TV show," he explained.
"Huh…" He thought about it for a moment and then smiled. "Who plays me in the TV show?"
"Focus!"
"Wow, you do a really good job," Jack replied which got an eye roll and glare in return for which he added, "A really, REALLY good job."
Back at the party (which wasn't very much of a party anymore) people were finally getting over the initial shock and some were just trying not to panic, the rest were going into full on panic mode.
"Well, the production team has apparently verified that they're not the ones behind this…" Marisa quickly explained as she finished talking to an important looking staff member. "…which ether means that a fan hijacked the system…or…"
"Hello… we are the Daleks. We… come in peace."
There was a laugh from the stage. "Oh, I seriously doubt that."
The Dalek's eye stock seemed to readjust itself like a camera lens zooming and then focusing. "You are the Doctor," it finally stated.
Marisa quickly took her supposed co-star aside. "What, exactly, do you think you're doing?" she asked still giving a quick glance to the screen.
"I think I'm trying to help," he answered.
"Well could you maybe…"
Before she could finish, the actor (followed somewhat closely by Jack) decided to suddenly burst on stage.
"What's going on…?!" the actor started to shout before seeing all the commotion and the Daleks.
The crowd was already sent into a collective silence.
"…O…Oh…Ah…My bad; I'll just go…" He quickly disappeared backstage as Jack gave a quick wave and some winks to the audience before "following" again.
Not to long afterwards, all of them had finally convened backstage.
"What in the world is going on here?!" the costar shouted, still seriously confused at the sight of two Doctors.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, that's your actual actor," the Doctor explained pointing at his look-a-like.
"…But, then if he's… then who…?"
The Doctor just gave a slight wave and smile.
She stared shocked. "You've got to be kidding…"
"Well, you're not the one who nearly died at the sight of the TARDIS suddenly appearing," the actor explained.
"…b… But this is impossible!"
"What's really impossible is all of you knowing about me… in this much detail," the Doctor pointed out. "And for how long has this been going on, exactly?"
"…Well… since about 19-"
"Does that even matter?" the costar shouted, "I mean we're about to be attacked by Daleks, which typically don't exist here, and you want to know about when the bloody show started?!"
"Well it does to me…" the Doctor wined.
There was silence for a moment.
"Oh… You're not serious, are you?" the actor asked
"I really want to know!"
The two sighed and Marisa finally said, "Fine… it was around 1963. Can we get to the Daleks now?"
