A/N : I own doctor who and everything. I'm also flithy rich and married to a famous actor. I wish. Thanks for the reviews, they're great, especially Shawntail who keeps reviewing and reviewed my other story, your a star. Keep them up while I keep trying to update as much as possible although now I may not be able to update everyday but I'll try.
The doctor and Mickey watched as Reinette slowly opened her eyes. Her face paled when she realised where she was and what had happened to them. Mickey rolled his eyes are her stricken expression. She was obviously not used to being in danger. Rose was right, she wouldn't survive for long with them if she couldn't handle being chained to a wall in a prison on an alien planet."You alright?" the doctor asked softly. Reinette looked at him in disbelief.
"Do I look alright?"
"We'll be fine, Reinette, don't worry, we do this sort of thing all the time" the doctor said with a grin. Reinette's expression grew stony.
"Do you look for danger?"
"Yes" Mickey piped up before the doctor had a chance to reply. His answear would of been no which was probably a lie but at least it would give Reinette some reassurance. Looking at Mickey, the doctor had a feeling that wouldn't be his top priority right now.
"Doctor you promised to look after me!" Reinette whined.
"I will I swear but right now I need to think of a way to get us out of here and save Rose, wherever she is". At the mention of Rose, Reinette frowned.
"She isn't important. As long as we get out, that's all that matters. Three out of four isn't bad" Reinette said recieving a glare from Mickey and the doctor simply decided to ignore her. She was Madam De Pompadour, that was just the way she was. She had a bad childhood, she couldn't help being selfish but judging from Mickey's look, he'd beg to differ.
"Doctor where do you think they took her?" Mickey asked, his expression turning to worry as he thought about Rose.
"I've got no idea but it probably isn't good" he frowned, screwing up his face in concentration.
"What if she escaped?" Reinette barked."I wouldn't be suprised if the child decided to save herself and leave us behind"
"Shut up, you don't even know Rose and besides who was it that wanted to escape and leave Rose to the whatever-they-call-themselves?" Mickey snapped. The doctor fell silent. He didn't want to join the arguing, there had been too much of it today already. Why was everyone trying to pick fight with Reinette? it's not as if she's actually done anything. And he'd realised a while ago that the tardis must of deliberately thrown them off course and dumped them here instead of Barcalona. The tardis had been acting weird for the last few days now he thought about it and he wasn't sure why but it seemed to be because of Reinette. But then his thoughts turned to Rose. What where they doing with her? he hoped really hard that Rose was okay because if she wasn't, he'd have something to say. He sighed just as the prison door opened and the red man from earlier who called himself Baltzaraziamania, but the doctor was going to call him Baltzy for now, stepped through and grinned, unplesantly,at them all.
Rose was still chained to the bed, half an hour after she'd been blackmailed by Baltzaraziamania, that was a flippin long name, Rose thought as she desperately tried to move but found it virtually impossible since her hands were currently chained together. Shackled to a king size bed probably wasn't half as bad as where the doctor, Mickey and Reinette had been chained up. She sighed.At least they didn't have their clothes stripped off and replaced with a gold bloody bikini. Rose definitely didn't like the few prospects that were laid out infront of her. She could either wait for the doctor to escape and save her which was unlikely since he was chained up himself, agree to marry that unpleasant sleazebag of an alien, which was her very, very last resort and she'd only do it to save Mickey and the doctor, Reinette she couldn't give two hoots about. Or she could refuse and let them all die. She had an hour and a half left to decide before Baltzaraziamania ordered his men to kill her friends. Rose was distressed. She desperately didn't want to marry that alien bastard,although she didn't want to get married to anybody really except the doctor but that would be too painfully embarssing to admit, especially since he's so taken with his flippin Madam De Pompadour, but it looked like she didn't have much choice. What she didn't understand though was why this alien wanted to marry her and not Reinette who was much more beautiful, she had to admit, reluctantly and why he was going to somuch trouble was beyond her. Just as she was losing herself to self-pity, the alien in question walked in, obviously keen for an answear. He studied her up and down, in her gold bikini but she chose to ignore his scrutiny. "Have you had enough time to think?" he asked instantly as he lay down beside her on the bed. Rose closed her eyes tight and prayed for a miracle.
"Yes, I'll do it, just let my friends go" Rose spluttered. She had no idea what she was getting herself into but she knew it wasn't good. All she had now was the hope that the doctor would find a way to save her. He had too, unless he decided to leave her behind and waltz off with his darling Reinette. The very thought made her depressed but she ignored it and concentrated on the current situation.
"A wise decision. I will go release your friends and then you shall be mine forever" he laughed and Rose shuddered. He got off the bed and walked out, leaving her to regret her 'wise' decision.
"She's WHAT?" The doctor yelled after 'Baltzy' informed him about Rose's decision to marry him. The doctor couldn't believe it, this wasn't Rose's choice, she would never just get engaged to a strange alien, not to mention a red one, so implusively. There was more to it, he could sense it and it was resulting in Rose being forced into something she would regret forever. Well he wasn't about to let that happen, not a chance in hell.
"She has agreed to marry me and there is nothing you can do. I will free you and your friends but then you must leave and never return to this planet. Only Rose is welcome here" Baltzy said coldly. Mickey's face had drained of all colour and Reinette was quiet. The doctor was going crazy, he wasn't going to let his companion and best friend be forced into something like this.
"What did you do? what did you say to her?" the doctor demanded, getting angry.
"I told her if she married me I'd free you which I am doing if I have your word that you'll leave us in peace" he replied truthfully.
"No, doctor, no!" Mickey yelled.
"Rose has agreed to marry you, so we will be freed?" The doctor asked, stunned. Then it dawned on him that Rose never did think of herself in these situations. Always put herself on the line to save others. Reinette looked at him crossly.
"Doctor tell him he has your word so we can go. The child isn't in any danger, she will be happy and safe herewith him for the rest of her life" she hissed. The doctor figured he'd have to agree anyway since who knew what would happen if he didn't. Rose wanted him to be freed but once he was he was , he was going to try to save Rose from the Baltzy's evil clutches with all his power. This Baltzaraziamania was going to regret the day he blackmailed Rose Tyler.
"Very well you have my word" he said reluctantly and recieved a glare from Mickey.
"What the hell are you doing? We can't leave Rose!"
"Oh shut up of course we can, little boy" snapped Reinette who was currently being unchained by one of the guards. As was the doctor and Mickey who still looked furious.
"Jackie will kill you" he hissed.
"I know" The doctor replied simply and they followed on behind him as he was escorted out by two guards. Mickey looked miserable as they found themselves back at the tardis. Reinette was relieved and holding onto the doctor's hand for dear life and the doctor had a headache as he walked back into the ship, trying to think of a plan. The tardis groaned at the absence of Rose and he knew he had his work cut out for him. What have you done? the ship shrieked at him.
