Author's Note: The story picks up again with the conclusion of "The End of Time", and explains why the swimming pool ended up in the library. ;)
Ardi couldn't believe the amount of strength her Doctor was showing by holding the radiation in that was killing him, holding back the regeneration energy that would save him, until he had one last moment with his precious companions. Finally, he could hold it back no more, and with a heart-breaking, "I don't want to go..." he exploded in fire. The energy was so intense, it shot into the walls of the console room, and the console itself, setting it ablaze. Ardi screamed in pain and the TARDIS began to rock back and forth unsteadily as the Doctor's regeneration continued.
Jeanne was holding on for dear life to her bed in her room when Ardi appeared, an uneven image filled with static, "Hang on!". Jeanne cried out, "What's happening?" "I'm crashing!" was all that Ardi could say before her image disappeared, and the room began to tilt to one side and the next. Fearful of being flipped out of the bed and squashed by a piece of furniture, she made her way to the short hallway between her bedroom and the library. Closing the door to her room and locking it, she held on to the handle for dear life, letting her body sway and move with the shaking ship. Finally, it began to tilt back, back back, until she was hanging from the latch of the door. She prayed her group would hold, but could feel it slipping. Glancing down, she was alarmed to see the other door to the library had fallen open, and the fall just got a whole lot longer. When she couldn't hold on anymore, she slipped down and screamed as she fell down... down... down... and SPLASHED!
The Doctor's regeneration finished and he began an inspection of his new not-ginger self before he remembered something rather important - that they were on fire and crashing! He tried a few switches and then resigned himself to holding on, and looking up, shouted, "Geronimo!" as the ship went in for a crash landing somewhere on Earth.
Jeanne swam up, sputtering for air, to find the TARDIS had stopped its crazy movements, the entire library was tilted on its side, and the swimming pool was in the wall, filled with water, and had caught her fall. Ardi's image appeared for just a moment, "Sorry, best I could come up with on short notice, must access the damage." Jeanne swam toward the edge of the pool, grabbing a hold of books that had fallen in the water in her wake and set them on the side of the pool before climbing out and sitting on the edge. Feeling secure enough in her perch for now, she looked around at the damage, and the faint smell of smoke was in the air. She hoped the Doctor and Ardi weren't badly hurt! With the room tilted this way, she couldn't easily access any of the doors, so she decided to wait for some assistance.
