Donna Noble woke up to the sounds of screaming. Voices she didn't quite recognize where crying out, and she thought she smelled burning flesh.
"Doctor!" she called out, "Where are we this time?"
She heard no response. She then took the time to take a look at her surroundings. All of her furniture was scattered throughout her room and outside. A figure starts heading her way, stepping on chairs, desks and hover-tables, but never on the ground. Feeling suspicious of this action, she looks down to see the floor had been replaced by oozing lava. That must have been the smell. Seeing the person still approaching her, she quickly gets out of the covers and grabs her lamp, the closest weapon she could find. The person approaching her is wearing a blanket as an effective cloak, so she still couldn't see who it was.
"Show yourself!" Donna yelled at them.
They lift up their blanket cloak to reveal… Captain Jack!?
"Donna!" He exclaimed, "Long time no see!"
"We saw each other last night." She retorts, "What the heck is going on around here!"
"It's the Doctor with the bow-tie's fault." He responded, sitting down on an upside-down couch. "He accidentally said the wrong number when trying to play checkers. This is a game of hot lava, where if you touch the ground you are out!"
"That is the stupidest thing I ever heard," Donna replied, "Can't we just, I dunno, end this game!"
"It doesn't work like that." Jack explained, "It won't go away until everyone is out, and Rose made a bet with the Leather Jacket Doctor that she could outlast him so we have all split into sides to defend the other people."
"Who is on whose team?" Donna asked.
"Rose, Pinstripes, Amy, Rory and I are one team, Martha, Bow-tie, River, Leather, Mickey, and Clara are another. You can join our team."
"Sure. Let me change first."
"Don't touch the floor!" He calls out behind her as she climbs over the furniture to get to her bathroom to change in privacy.

Meanwhile, the Ninth Doctor had declared a secret team meeting for his group.
"Okay you guys," He declares, while sitting on his furniture throne, "We need a plan of attack. I can't let you make me eat a... pear." he shudders. "What have we got?"
"Well," Martha looks up from her papers, "My info tells me that there is a map, that shows where all the other people are, but it is hidden away by the TARDIS, so no one knows where it is. I suggest a small team scout out areas for the map so we can find it before they do, while the rest of us start taking over valuable rooms."
"Good idea, but we only have six people, so there can be no more than two people on that mission." Nine adds.
"You can't split us up!" Eleven yells, "We will have less ability to fight them if we come across them!"
"Yeah, but I think you can fight them! They have less people than us already! It would only be one less."
"That was our only advantage!"
"There is the two of us fighting!"
"Good point." Eleven is silent for a while, before adding, "We should have Martha and Clara search for the map, no offense but you are more of the brains. We can then split up AGAIN into me and River, and the other Doctor and Mickey. Mickey can protect the Doctor fine."
"If I have River instead it is a deal." Nine declares, "All in favor say I!"
"I!" They all yell.
"Lets head out!" Nine calls out, before promptly running out of their cave, straight into Rose.

When Donna managed to get into her bathroom and change on the toilet seat, she noticed a piece of glimmering paper on her sink. Brushing her hair into a pony tail, she investigated a little more. When she opened it up, it looked like a map of the TARDIS, with six dots bundled in a storage room, with tiny little names that made her see it was the other team, four dots heading in her direction, and two dots in her bedroom. It was incredible! She quickly jumped back into her room to see Rose, Amy, Rory and the Doctor making their way into her room.
"Guys!" She called out, "This is a map showing where everyone is!"
The Doctor reaches out for it, and takes a closer look.
"She is right!" He exclaims, "This shows the others hiding out in a storage room. We can ambush them!"
"Can I have a look?" Rose asks. The Doctor nodded, and handed it to Rose. "There are two exits, we can block both of them, with the slightly stronger team by the front entrance because it is more likely they will go that way when they don't know we have any clue where they are. We will use walkie-talkies, and let the other ambush team know what door they are approaching, so they can start heading to the other exit for backup. Good plan?"
The others stare at shock at her for a while before nodding, the Doctor looking at her with admiration.
"I didn't know you were good at battle strategies." He comments.
"I guess it has never come up." She responds, "Or will come up."
"What should be the teams?" Rory asks.
"Rory, Donna and the Doctor, and Me, Jack and Amy. Rory, you guys will be at the back door with the map, and my group will be at the front door." Rose answers, "I have some walkie-talkies and my room is nearby, I will be right back."
A minute later, Rose returns with two ear-pieces. She gives one to Rory and takes one for herself.
"Everyone ready?" She asks.
"Ready!" They all respond, and start making their way to the storage room silently, apart from the occasional directions on how to get past certain bits.
They get to they intersection where they are going to split off. They check the map to see if the other team is still in their room and then walk off in their separate ways. About 5 minutes after they arrive at the entrance, Rose's ear-piece comes to life.
"Rose."Rory's voice calls out, "They are moving towards your entrance, I repeat, they are moving. We are making our way there now."
Suddenly the door starts to creak open and the Ninth Doctor walks right through, banging right into Rose.
"Charge!" She yells, and Amy and Jack start trying pushing people down to the floor as fast as they can. Soon the Doctor, Rory and Donna appear and start helping. They manage to push down Martha, Eleven and Clara, but River, Mickey and Nine still remain fighting. Rose nearly trips and falls to the ground, but Amy pushes her up, sacrificing herself instead. Jack falls too, and so does Donna. Now they are at a standoff, with only six remaining. Rory manages to grab a swivel chair, and starts moving towards the team, using a broom to propel himself. He shoves the broom at Mickey, who wasn't expecting it,and falls to the floor. River shoves him and his chair trips up on a power cord. Now there were four. Ten leaps across the tables, and manages to tackle River to the ground, sinking into the lava as well. Rose turned to look at Nine, who seemed to be searching for a way to escape.
"Hey!" she calls out, "We need to finish it now and get you to eat a pear!"
"Not happening!" He yells back, "You need to let me dye your hair!"
They both leap towards each other, but they collide and they fall into the lava, together. They stand up to see that there is normal floor beneath their feet again, no toppled furniture, and a hologram declaring the winner as... The Ninth Doctor.
"What!" Rose yells, "That was a tie!"
"I think they want me to dye your hair." Nine responds, "It would be more fun."
She huffily agrees, and everyone (who appeared where they had fallen), crowded into the Ninth Doctor's bathroom where a door leaves to a walk in closet filled with hair dyes, with a note saying; a deal is a deal - Z💠. The Ninth Doctor looks around before picking an unlabeled dye from the top corner.
"Let's see what we have got here." He says, before sitting Rose down on a chair and squirting the dye into her hair. The dye seems clear, so they colour is still a mystery. Using his sonic screwdriver to speed up the process, he then washes her hair 30 seconds later, once again drying her hair with his sonic.
"Tada!" He exclaims, revealing Rose's hair to the rest of the people milling around. The gasp, and Rose, ready to be furious, turns around to face the mirror behind gasped as well, her hair looked like the same colour as before, but every time her hair moved it looked like galaxies were hiding under her hair. She runs up to the Ninth Doctor to give him a hug, whispering thank yous under her breath. He returned the hug slightly hesitantly when he noticed Ten staring at him darkly. Seems he still feels the same way as he does now.
"Do you know what?" The Tenth Doctor says louder than necessary, "We can't just keep calling each other 'Doctor'. Since I am the tenth regeneration, I will be Ten, leather-jacket will be Nine, and bow-tie will be Eleven. It will make everything less confusing."
"Okay.. Ten." River says, "Can we still call you Doctor if there is only one Doctor in the room?"
"Of course." Ten replies, "It is just to eliminate any awkward moments."
A clock sound starts going off and they all find themselves teleported back to the, now darkened, console room, where a hologram of a clock appears and the same very annoying tune starts playing. The girl from yesturday appears on the holographic screen; "This ends the second day of The Clock of Travellers!" She exclaims "Let's see how our "guests" did"The clock from before appears and the hands of the clock starts turning before landing on 6:00 AM. "An improved score! I guess hair dye does wonders! Well that's all for today, the new day starts now!" The lights turn back on and they wish each other good nights before heading to their rooms.
