Now, I have uploaded this chapter today as I promised I would and I shall put all the author notes I remember that I put in the last chapter and then the computer spazzed and it went away and I couldn't be stuffed doing it again..

Thank You: To my incredibly awesome and insane beta LilyRose xD (who doesn't actually do much editing, more hilarious comments, and to Mythirl Maiden for reviewing this story and encouraging me to update it, and to all the people who have read/reviewed/added to story alerts/ added to favourites etc...

Story Notes: Hang in there cause this story's plot if finally coming and it is staring to get interesting, I've got some great (I hope) cliffhangers up my sleeve (Including this chapter =D) and a few twists, though the rope of this story is fraying a bit at the end (I'm a bit unsure) My beta LilyRose xD hates me writing sadness, though I love writing it, so I shall add her alternate ending at the end, and possibly her alternate ending to the last chapter if I can find it, so basically keep reading cause there are a few twists! and I would like to add that I am extremely proud of this chapter cause I said my chapter would be shorter but this one turned out the length that I thought they would all originally be...

Disclaimer: Don't own it.-makes witty comment about things she doesn't and does own-

oh...and I don't know why this chapter is called Crossroads, cause the word "Crossroads" isn't actually mentioned, and the title of the chapter usually is, but I have written a poem about Crossroads and it seemed to fit here.

VII

Crossroads

Foaly called Artemis and Holly from the theatre.
"I'm going to help the Doctor build a void-crossing machine. Artemis," he turned to the boy, "He's requested your help, but you don't have to if you don't want to."
Artemis was so used to being in charge, but he knew that Foaly needed this spotlight, so he nodded,
"I'll help."
The Doctor, Foaly and Artemis turned uncomfortably to Holly.
"I'll go back underground then, I've got no wish to stay and listen to you genii and your technobabble," she told them.
The Doctor held out his hand.
"Thank you Holly."
"For what?" She asked, shaking his hand.
"For believing me," he answered quietly. He swallowed, staring at the floor, before a manic grin broke out on his face.
"Allonsy!" He shouted, running around the console, pressing buttons, pulling levers and every so often whacking something with the mallet. The TARDIS whirred and jerked, throwing Foaly, Holly and Artemis to the floor. The Doctor, being used to the bumpy ride, just held onto a pillar. They got up shakily, only to be thrown to the floor again. They came to the conclusion it was best to just stay on the floor until it was over. The TARDIS stopped with a jolt. Silence followed. The others got up, and turned to the Doctor, who was reading Gallifreyian text on the screen. He strode purposefully to the TARDIS doors, and opened them, motioning for the others to go ahead of him. The TARDIS seemed to have landed next to Police Plaza in Haven. A few members of the LEP came out to investigate. When they saw the blue box, they drew their firearms, but seeing Holly emerge from it, they lowered them. Foaly and Artemis followed her, The Doctor bringing up the rear, closing and locking the TARDIS doors behind him. Holly shooed the officers away, and her and Foaly took the lead of the group, walking purposefully straight into Police Plaza.

They went to the Operations Booth. The Doctor, seeing Foaly's technology, started to excitedly ramble and examine it.
"Oh! It's a Bahagian Tordidonola! I haven't seen one for years! Oh! This…this is brilliant!"
Holly hugged Foaly and Artemis, shook the Doctor's hand again, and then left the booth.
Foaly rummaged around for any technology they might need, Artemis adding his opinion every so often as to whether to take it or not, and the Doctor hadn't stopped rambling.
"…mind you they only usually buy the stereo shaped like an Absorbaloff when all the Dalek ones run out. I've got no idea why anyone would want to listen to music from a Dalek stereo, especially because they are life sized. I should add that to my rulebook. "Never buy the Doctor a life-sized Dalek stereo, because he shall think it is real and try to destroy it. Which shall just be a waste of your good money."
He stopped, noticed Foaly and Artemis staring at him with raised eyebrows.
"Technology. Void-crossing. Parallel universe, right!" he said, "Allonsy!"
He grabbed an armful of technology from Foaly, and took it back to the TARDIS, ignoring the stares he got from more than a few LEP captains, Foaly just glared at them until they turned and went back to their work, pretending that seeing a human-looking insane man in a pinstriped suit coming out of a blue box was something ordinary that they saw all the time.

Once the Doctor had the TARDIS floating through the Time Vortex, they set to work.
The Doctor opened up the console, and he and Foaly attached massive wires to motors and machines, The Doctor sonic screwdriving them together, mixing fairy and alien technology. Artemis worked on the theory of crossing the void, every so often telling Foaly a gadget that was necessary to make it possible. They worked for what seemed like forever. Every so often connecting something that wasn't compatible and ending up getting sparked. The only sound was of Artemis muttering and the sonic screwdriver whirring, apart from that, they were silent; they're genii brains thinking and thinking, trying to make it possible. The Doctor jumped up suddenly and opened up another bit of the floor, rummaging around underneath the console and reappearing with a small yellow button, they attached this too. Working and working until Artemis needed a rest. So he left to find an unused bedroom, Foaly soon after. But the Doctor stayed. He wouldn't need to sleep for about a week yet, he knew. So he kept working, The TARDIS the only thing to keep him company as he twisted wires and attached screws to the little machine that was beginning to take shape.

They had done it. After such a long amount of time, they had built it. But having no idea how long it actually took, in Earth measurement of time maybe a few months. But that didn't matter, what mattered was that they had done it. There it was, looking so similar to the original void-crossing machine. A small disc, hung around the neck, in fact it even had a few parts from the old yellow button. It was finished.
The Doctor stared at the red button for a moment, before slipping it around his neck.
"Are you sure you want to cross the void?" asked Foaly, "It's extremely dangerous."
The Doctor nodded, not trusting himself to speak, for fear the hope he held in his hearts would be evident in his voice.
"You ready to go?" Foaly questioned.
Again the Doctor nodded. He swallowed, took a deep breath and bit his lip. He turned to Foaly and Artemis.
"Just in case I don't-"
"You will!" interrupted Foaly. The Doctor continued like Foaly hadn't spoken.
"Just in case I don't come back, use Emergency Program 1, it will take you home."
"Doctor…listen to me, I know you'll make it, I know you're come back."
"Just in case," Said the Doctor, "And…thank you, thank you both so much. I owe you a lot. I couldn't have built it without you both."
With that, he swallowed again, took another deep breath, and pressed the button, vanishing into the air.

I know, I'm rather evil, but what are you going to do about it? there are a lot of spacers in this chapter...odd

anyway, you don't have to read this, but these are LilyRose xD's alternate endings (there are rather random)

Crossroads Alternate Ending - by LilyRose xD

Again the Doctor nodded. He swallowed, took a deep breath and bit his lip. He turned to Foaly and Artemis.
"Just in case I don't-"
"You will!" interrupted Foaly. The Doctor continued like Foaly hadn't spoken.

"Just in case I don't turn the proper shade of blue, emergency rule 5 should help."
 "Doctor…what is emergency rule 5?"
"Run very very fast in the opposite direction. Just in case," Said the Doctor, "And…thank you, thank you both so much. I owe you a lot. I couldn't have managed to make this person-changing-into-blue-skin-in-order-to-sneek-into-the-blue-club-of-Clom-a-very-rare-club-as-clomonions-are-all-green-machine."
With that, he swallowed again, took another deep breath, and pressed the button, slowly turning a light shade of yellow.

"oh crap." said Foaly and Artemis, running for the hills.
