Tony had to stop himself from sobbing in despair as he watched his hero hanging from a cliff, holding the edge for dear life.
The Doctor, suddenly incredibly aware of the fact that he could not regenerate and that it was a very long way down. He smiled bravely up at the frightened face. "Don't worry Tony. I'll be fine. I just have to get my foot," He tried to push himself up and the rocks he was using crumbled beneath his feet. He let out a yell and hung on tighter, heart slamming into his rib cage. Gulping nervously he looked up at Tony. "Maybe you should go get your sister. Or father. Or somebody."
Tony couldn't move. He was too afraid for the Doctor. His hero who was in trouble because of him.
The Doctor snapped at him. "Tony! Go get help!"
Tony dashed off, trying not to burst into tears. The Doctor held onto the edge of the cliff, trying not to let go and trying to stop his body from shaking and stop the fear that was spreading like ice through his veins. "No need to be scared. Rose will come and save me. I just have to wait." He trembled and tried to hold on. "Please come soon Rose. Please."
Tony ran back to the party, trying to spot his sister. It was hard when his eyes where clouded with tears. Because he couldn't see properly he slammed right into somebody's legs.
The man turned and noticed the small sobbing boy. "Now what is all the fuss about?" He said, kneeling down. His brown eyes were calming and Tony let out a gabble of disconnected words.
"Help… cliff …" He let out a wail with the last coherent word. "Doctor."
The man's eyes widened in shock. "Doctor? The Doctor?" Tony nodded and the man leaned in close. "Where is he?"
Rose rolled her eyes, pulling the tank top down a little. Pete decided to throw a congratulation party for his candidate that he had supported during the election. He wasn't that bad but he did seem a little off. She had missed the election with her universe hopping but she hadn't really cared if she was honest with herself. The Doctor had disappeared towards the woods with Tony to "go adventuring".
Suddenly Tony was tugging on her pants. "Rose! Rose! The Doctor needs you!"
Rose groaned. "What happened?"
"He fell down a cliff."
Rose ran towards where he and Tony had wandered towards at a neck breaking speed. She passed a man on her way but payed him no mind. The Doctor was in trouble.
"Doctor?!"
A tuft of messy brown hair peeked over the edge. "Rose! Help!"
Kneeling down ignoring the rocks that dug into her knees she grabbed his elbow. "Oh god. Oh god. How the hell did you manage this?"
He laughed nervously, looking down. "Its a funny story and I'll tell you it once I'm not in mortal danger. Please pull me up!"
"I'm trying you stupid fucking asshole!" She tugged and the Doctor tried to get his footing but he slipped and fell farther down.
"Fuck! Fuck! Oh fucking Rassilon! I'm gonna die!"
"Shut up! Shut up! You ain't gonna die! I'm won't let you!"
Someone scrambled beside her and reached down to grabbed the Doctors other arm. Between the two of them they pulled the Doctor up. He promptly hugged Rose, trying to stop his heart from beating so hard. Rose shushed him, ruffling her fingers in his hair and down his back, his chest heaving. The man next to them stared in shock at the two.
"Doctor?"
The Doctor turned his head and his eyes widened. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!"
It had been a normal day for Harold Saxon. He had created a few plans for world domination than with a sigh had shredded them. Seeing as there was no one to stop his evil plans it wasn't nearly as fun as it used to be. The Time War had killed the Doctor and left the rest, who were so stuck up they didn't even try to stop him from taking over an entire galaxy. The only reason it was fun being evil was because someone was there to fight with you. He was a Joker without a Batman. Lucy told him that Pete Tyler, a major supporter of him during the last campaign, was throwing a barbecue for his employees at Torchwood and they were invited.
It was fairly boring until a small blond boy crashed into his legs. Turning to the child he saw that he was sobbing. "Now what is all the fuss about?"
"Help... cliff... Doctor!" The boy burst into a fresh set of tears.
"Doctor?" It couldn't be. "The Doctor?" The boy nodded and he had to stop himself from hurting the boy. "Where is he?"
After rushing in one direction he turned around and headed the other way realizing that the cliff was that way. A bleached blond (her name might be Rose. He couldn't really remember) rushed past him and being the ex-evil genius decided to follow.
As he entered the clearing and heard "-stupid fucking asshole!"
The blond was desperately trying to pull someone up. "Fuck! Fuck! Oh fucking Rassilon! I'm gonna die!" A mans voice cried out, shaking with fear.
"Shut up! Shut up! You ain't gonna die! I'm won't let you!" She sounded like she was about to burst into tears. He knelt beside her and with some effort the managed to pull him up. The man wrapped his arms around her and struggled to breathe. He was skinny with a mess of brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Rose tried desperately to comfort him.
"Doctor?"
Turning his head, the fear changed from fear and shock. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" He pushed back from Rose and started at the Master. "What are you doing here?!"
The Master felt himself bristle. "Me?! What about you?! Where have you been hiding all these years? Everyone thought you were dead!"
The Doctor looked angry. "Me! I watched you die you evil bastard!"
Rose moved backwards as quickly as she could as the Master launched himself forward at the Doctor. They wrestled on the ground swearing and struggling to get the upper hand. "Break it up you retards! For Time Lords you two are so immature!" She ripped them apart, the Master holding his eye and the Doctor holding his nose.
He looked up at Rose with big watery eyes. "He hit me in the nose."
"You hit me in the eye!"
They yelped as Rose smacked them in the head. "Shut up! Now I don't know what your history is but I don't really care. Work it out. Don't kill each other and come back to the party."
As she stalked off, muttering something about men being complete morons the two old friends sat on the ground and glared at each other.
"You died."
The Doctor rolled his eyes. "You've been acting like a human for to long Master. You are starting to sound like them with all the pointing out of the obvious. And you were the one that died." It suddenly struck the Doctor like a lightening bolt. This was a different universe. The Time Lords could exist. He had just assumed they hadn't or they would have taken control of the universe hopping. "Wait. Never mind. I was thinking of the other universe."
"What other universe?"
"Oh. Me and Rose are from a different universe." Seeing his ex-friends face the Doctor sighed and grabbed a stick. "I'll explain."
"So your husband is Harry Saxon? How's that?" Rose smiled at the other blond dressed in a bright red shirt and jeans.
"Oh yes. Harry is wonderful. I'll admit he is a little... odd." 'Not to mention he has two hearts.' "But he's a good man deep down. Deep deep down."
Loud laughter exploded from behind her. The Master held his sides as the Doctor tried to finish his joke. "And the other first atom says 'Yes. I'm positive.'"
And thus, the Master from Pete's World, who had given up a life of evil to become a politician (not a big jump) and the Doctor from a different universe, healed their fractured friendship. This inspired them to do many of the stupid things that they had done when they were teens.(1)
(1) = this is blatant advertisement for my other story Academy Adventures. And those stupid things will be posted both here and on that story.
Also that joke I heard in chemistry class and I thought it was hilarious: There are two atoms walking down the street. One turns to the other and say 'Damn. I think I lost an electron.' His friend say 'Are you sure?' And the first one says 'Yes. I'm positive.'" The joke is that when an atom loses something it becomes positive and when they gain something they become negative. About 1/3 of my class got the joke.
