A/N: Hey guys! :) Please enjoy this story and please review! :) This is by XTimeGirlX and me, BananaBabe903! But THIS time, I wrote this! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who... I think... no matter what the dancing bananas in my head may tell me... repeat after me... "I do not own--YES I DO!!!" LOL no I don't.

Rose, Gwen, and Alice ran as fast as they could until they reached the room they heard the yelling from. They threw open the door and saw Jack and the Doctor hanging from chains above a large, bubbling, brew pot with skeletons surrounding them, holding axes and pitchforks, a wicked and malicious smile stretched onto their bones.

"Who the hell are they?" cried Alice in dismay.

Gwen gave her a tight, bitter smile. "The Voradon. The lost soldiers of the Great Time War. The lost soldiers of Vora."

"But when you were, eh, possessed, you said we'd win. So, it's all good, right?" Alice whispered in reply.

Gwen shook her head. "No. That doesn't mean that at all. Time isn't from point a to point b, it's more of a circle," she explained.

"How are we going to save them?" asked Alice, meek and quite afraid. If there was anything she was afraid of as a child, she'd been afraid of the dead.

Suddenly, a horrible screeching came from inside the large room, or cave. "Come, girls. We will not hurt you and we know you are there. Better to come by will than force." The voice sounded terrible familiar. First, it started as a screeching, but slowly is morphed into a voice Rose knew quite well.

"We have to go," Rose admitted. The girls walked cautiously into the cave to see Jack and the Doctor looking at them with silent pleas.

The skeleton calling to them Rose thought looked familiar. Of course, it's quite difficult to say that a skeleton could look familiar, but Rose looked at it like one looked at a lover, or an enemy.

Suddenly, Rose let out a gasp. "Oh my God. You're not a skeleton!" she shrieked at the skeleton that had been talking. "You sound jus' like 'im too!" she cried.

The skeleton's smile stretched even wider. "Oh yes, Rose. Come here, Rose. Come here," he begged. "Please, Rose. I need you. I'm sorry."

"Rose, who is that?" asked Gwen.

"An old boyfriend… his name is Jimmy Stone," Rose slowly said, breathy. "Can't you see him? He's right there! A bunch of gray-brown hair, intense blue eyes… flesh and bones…" her eyes got a misty look and Gwen had to pinch her. Rose shook her head back and forth disbelieving.

"But—but you left me. You just dumped me after I dropped out of University to live with you. We were gonna live forever!" Rose cried.

"Rose, calm down. That's not Jimmy Stone. It's just a skeleton!" Alice proclaimed.

"No, its not!" Rose protested. "Can't you see? Righ' there, John Andrew Stone!"

What they didn't know was that all Rose could see was Jimmy Stone, while Gwen and Alice saw the bloodthirsty skeleton in front of them.

"Rose, don't get near 'im!" Gwen commanded. She took a step forward to stop Rose when another skeleton transformed right in front of her eyes.

"'Ello, Gwen," he said.

"Rhys?" Gwen whispered. Tears filled her eyes. "Rhys, is that you?" but she shook her head. "It's an illusion, Gwen! That's not you, Rhys!"

The skeleton's features on his face grew suddenly very sad. "But it is me, Rose… and, and I'm sorry. I am so sorry for leaving you… I—I was scared and jealous, but it won't happen again, Gwen," he pleaded.

"Gwen, Rose, stop! There's no Rhys or Jimmy Stone! It's just an illusion!" Alice cried.

Suddenly, two more skeletons advanced towards her and changed faces. One was male, one female, and both looked a bit like Alice.

"Hello, Alice," the female said. She had carrot-red hair that waved around her face like a halo and hazel eyes. She had a definite Scottish accent.

The male next to her had sandy brown hair and blue eyes. He had his arm wrapped around the female's shoulders. "Hello, Alice," he said, smiling sadly. He had a London accent.

Alice was about to ask who they were, but she soon realized and choked on her own words. "M-mum? D-dad?" she rasped.

Her mother nodded sadly. "Hello, love. I am so sorry for what happened. You were too young to remember, but we had to drop you off. Instead of 'marrying properly' like mum and dad wanted us to, we eloped. They couldn't know we had you before our marriage… we decided instead of abortion, we would just give you up to a family who would love you…"

"I understand," Alice whispered, eyes full of tears.

"Come here, sweetheart," her dad replied, holding out his arms. "Come give your old dad a hug."

"I really understand now," rasped Alice. She blinked and the tears flew down her face. "You're skeletons in our closets'. Jimmy Stone is Rose's, Rhys is Gwen's, and mum and dad are mine." Her voice flew a little higher at the end of the sentence, like she was trying not to uncontrollably sob.

Alice cast a look at the Doctor, who gave her a relieved look in her face. She whipped her head around to face her fake mum and dad. "No matter how much I want to believe it, my mum and dad are dead. They are gone. You can never be my family! Never!" And with that last "never", she threw her head back and a golden light erupted from her body and knocked all the skeletons to the ground.

Rose and Gwen, about to hug their skeletons stopped as they saw their fake fantasy crumble in ashes at the ground.

"Now," Alice whispered with a heavy gasp. "Where do we go from here?"
