A/N: Thank you, thank you, and thrice thank you to MentalMeander for the review, it made my day! :D Also, thank you to everyone who has Favourited etcetera, you have all made me smile. :) Here, have a cyber-banana, on the house!

Sorry for the time that it has taken for me to update, but I'm not really allowed on the computer Mon-Thurs, so...yeeeaah. Sorry. God, I hope people actually care about this, writing an apology would be pointless, otherwise. ANYway, on with the show!


Jack waited a moment before speaking. 'So Doctor,' he said slowly. 'We have, uh, a little time before Rose gets back...'
The Doctor's eyes were on the ceiling, the goofy smile still on his face as he replied in slight confusion, 'What?'
'Well...' Jack began, clearing his throat. 'You, me, big ol' TARDIS...I mean, it's not ideal, and we could get lost, but...I'm assuming that you know your way around.' This last was said rather suggestively.
The Doctors smile faltered, and he turned to look at Jack with a vaguely shocked expression. 'Are you implying what I think you're implying?'
Jack nodded, determined. 'Let's do it.' He grabbed the Doctors arm, but he pulled free and gave Jack a stern look, grimacing. 'No, Jack, just...no. No.'
Jack nodded again and sat back down. They both remained still, silent, the only sound coming from the TARDIS engines, and waited for Rose to return.

And they waited. And waited. And then, for good measure, they waited some more. The Doctor suddenly got up, frustrated, and began to pace around the room. Jack looked at him. 'You sure you don't wanna-'
'Yes Jack!' was his annoyed reply, and then, with a more warm tone to his voice, he said, 'I'm going to pick her up. I don't care what she says.'
'But we don't know where she is.'
'The TARDIS has given me co-ordinates using data from the phone call we made. We'll be fine!' He pulled a lever down and grinned.
'Well, that's a good twist on the plot line...' Jack muttered sarcastically as they set off.

-o0o-

Rose couldn't believe this. She had told the Doctor to stay put, but he evidently had got bored of not going anywhere, and her boss' radar had picked the TARDIS up when he had taken off. And now she was paying for it!
'For the last time, it wasn't my fault!' she said angrily as ropes were tightened around her.
'Look, it's not about who caused it to happen, it's about making sure that I keep the banana. And right now, you're the only one I know that will give the Doctor the incentive to let me!'
'I still don't see why you're tying me to a- what is this?' Rose squirmed.
'I dunno. A totem pole?'
'Why do you have a totem pole?'
'Look, the pictures on the website looked totally different.' He stopped his furious knotting and looked pensive.
'Really, what were you going for?'
'Oh, you know, one of those dark rooms where you can't see my face and a black swivel chair. And some sort of fluffy white animal.'
'Oh, do they supply those these days?'
'Yeah.' There was a long pause in which both people forgot what had been happening.

And then the TARDIS materialised.
The Doctor bounded out of the doors, grinning as he saw Rose. Then he froze, and the smile completely disappeared, his expression turning to one of disgust, and horror.

Jack stepped out of the TARDIS, looking around with the air of an interior designer. The room seemed to be built entirely of stone, with giant bright lights in the ceiling, and there was a kind of alcove in the very back of the room that was hidden in complete darkness. Then he too caught sight of Rose, and her boss, and grabbed his gun. 'Jack,' the Doctor warned (for the second time that day), and stepped forward determinedly, his face showing no sign of fear.

Rose's boss jumped off of the platform he had been standing on. 'Doctor,' he hissed, a dark smile spreading over his face.

'Master.' The Doctor said.

Jack's jaw dropped as he witnessed the scene. 'Oh my God,' he said.
'Not now, Jack,' the Doctor said, not looking away from the Master's face. 'We're having a dramatic moment.'

'No, but Doc!' he said louder, pointing to a spot behind Rose that had, until recently, been covered by shadows. Rose turned round to see, and her eyes widened in surprise. 'Doctor!'

'Not now!' the Doctor and the Master said in unison, and the Doctor was immediately distracted as the Master cried, 'Haha, jinx!' He pointed at the Doctor and laughed, and the Doctor groaned in annoyance, pressing his lips together.

'Doctor!' Rose shouted. The Doctor looked at her hopefully, holding up two fingers.
'Doctor, there is no time for this!' Jack said, and the Doctor nodded at him feverishly.
'DOCTOR!' Rose and Jack screamed, and the Doctor gasped in relief as he was freed from the jinx. 'What is it, what's going on?' he asked.
'Over there,' Rose said shakily. 'It s-it s-'

'GRAHAM NORTON?', everyone cried, aghast. And the sound of a despairing moan filled the air.


A/N: Yes, reviews like yours do inspire me that much, MentalMeander. :) GRR, for some reason this website removed all of the apostrophes from the document! ARGH! So, sorry if my punctuation is bad on this chapter, but it really...flummoxed me. Grr.
