nat-nav: Wait and see...8D


"I beg to differ," said Lucy. "Please, for the sake of the rest of us…" she flicked her fingers at him, beckoning him to take it off. He glared at her a moment, but upon looking at everyone else's faces, he sighed and pulled it off.

"You lot are so dull," he said irritably.

"What were you doing?" Lucy hissed in return.

"I was taking a trip to the sun and back, see what was the problem," the Doctor said smugly.

"And?" asked Martha. The Doctor smiled, and looked at the other Doctor. His expression became difficult to read.

"So, it's you then," he said.

"It's me," replied the other Doctor. Lucy glanced from the old Doctor to her Doctor. There was an interesting collection of emotions going around, and Lucy had a feeling that staying as a group was not the best of ideas. Jack was quiet, but he was probably just in shock from the fact that a girl wasn't remotely interested in him, Martha and Rose seemed quite torn between the two Doctors that had appeared before them, Amy seemed happy, but she was somewhat reserved; she was like Lucy: she knew what was going on. Poor Rory just seemed slightly lost.

However, everyone was spared another awkward moment by a violent shake, which felt like an earthquake. However, it was much more than that. It was so sudden and so big, that all of them were unable to brace themselves, and everyone toppled over on the sidewalk.

"That wasn't an earthquake!" shouted the old Doctor. He looked to his newer self. "There's something under us, what did you find?"

"Nothing! That's what I found, nothing, so whatever it is, they're not blocking the sun from the sun, they're blocking it from here, and whatever's here is big,"

"Which means…," the old Doctor put in as everyone scrambled to her feet.

"But how could we not have noticed?" asked Amy.

There was another shake.

"What should we do?" asked Martha desperately, however she had managed to stay upright this time, as had everyone else. Suddenly, Rose and Jack jumped at the same time.

"Time!" they said in unison. The old Doctor stared at them, and then it dawned on him.

"Of course, like the Racknoss! " he shouted.

"Why wouldn't we notice, because it wasn't put here a few days ago, or even a few years," said the new Doctor. "Good question Pond."

"The what?" asked Rory.

"Lucy! 1825, remember? Krillitaines, they were there, but we bagged them too easily, didn't we?" he asked. Lucy stared at him. She remembered chasing them all over London until they finally trapped them in and old warehouse and unfortunately ended up blowing the place up. Not how the Doctor would have liked, but it was what happened. But if they had been Krillitaines…she had done her research, and they were a lot tougher than that. She snapped her fingers.

"A diversion," she said. "Somebody knew you were there, or were going to be there, but how would they know you were there?"

"The TARDIS," said Amy suddenly. "Remember Doctor, the TARDIS said she always took you where you needed to be?" The Doctor nodded slowly.

"She knew there was something going on in 1825, so she took me there, but that was what they wanted…" He paused. His old self looked mildly impressed.

"That's clever," he mused.

"But it wasn't Krillitaines, was it?" asked Rose. "Because they change all the time, so they're easy to mimic if you need a diversion,"

The Doctor nodded at her, and smiled ever so slightly. He must have missed her, thought Lucy.

"Hold on, how do you know it was that time exactly?" asked Martha. "I mean, have there been any other times when you've been drawn away?"

"The 1940s? When we found the disguised Daleks?" suggested Amy. "Churchill phoned you. Maybe somebody planned it."

"Daleks? Again?" asked Martha. The Doctor nodded.

"Oh for crying out loud!" growled the old Doctor. "You just can't get rid of them, can you?"

"Wish I could just…blast them into a million pieces again," Rose growled.

"Sorry Rose, I'm not letting you stare into my TARDIS again," said the "new" Doctor.

"They sound like fun," said Lucy sarcastically.

"You've never met them?" asked Rose. Lucy shook her head.

"Haven't been fortunate enough," said Lucy. "Anyways, any other times, any at all?"

"I have a feeling it's one of those two," said Fez Doctor. "But, we should also check a few other places, so lets see…" he began pacing back and fourth. "You've got a TARDIS, haven't you?" he asked the old Doctor. There was a moment of silence.

"Well…"

"It crashed," Rose supplied.

"What? Who crashed it?" asked Fez. He stared at the old Doctor. "You crashed it? How could you crash it? Oh you're rubbish, aren't you!"

"Oi! You gave me a piece of wood, how is a decent TARDIS supposed to grow out of that?" he retorted.

"I thought you were clever!"

"How have you got a TARDIS?" asked Jack. The old Doctor looked at him.

"The last time I saw the Doctor, he gave me a piece of TARDIS to grow my own. Well, we've done that now, it took about, oh, four, five years? But it wasn't working right, it practically blew up on the first outing,"

"So we crashed," said Rose. "And now it's rebuilding."

"Well done," grumbled the "new" Doctor.

"Shut up Fez," Lucy spat. He stared at her.

"Fez?" he said incredulously.

"What? You wear fezzes now, and you're both the Doctor so I've got to call you something else don't I?"

"Call me something else?" Fez shouted. He pointed an accusing finger at the other Doctor. "Call him something else, he's the one with only one heart!"

"Oi! Watch it!" Rose growled.

"For crying out loud, will you lot just SHUT UP!" bellowed Amy. Everybody stopped and stared at her. She looked thoroughly irritated, and was standing there with her arms crossed. She smiled. Oh, Lucy liked her.

"Now then," said Amy. "We've got work to do, but for starters," she turned to her Doctor, and gave him a pat on the cheek. "You're pretty." She said sweetly. Then, she walked to the other Doctor. "And you're pretty." She did the same thing to him. He seemed torn between irritation and amusement.

"I've got a teleport, and so does Jack," said Lucy, changing the subject. The Doctors nodded, and Fez clapped his hands together.

"Right then, Jack, Martha, Doctor, you three are going to go check out 1944. Rory, you're coming with me, we're going to do some Timey Wibbly stuff. Rose, Lucy, Amy, you three are going to go back to 1825 and see what's going on," said Fez.

"Can't I go with you?" asked Amy, looking somewhat put off.

"Just go with them, it won't be long," said Fez. "It was random, but it worked."

Lucy had a feeling that the Doctor was not being random at all. She could tell he didn't want to be around Rose, Martha, or the other Doctor, and she had a shrewd idea ast to why.

"You're going to have to repair this…again," said Jack, grinning. The Doctor glared at him a little, but smiled.

"I suppose so," he said dryly. He took out his sonic screwdriver, flicked a button and Lucy watched as it worked away on Jack's teleport.

"Mine too," said Lucy, holding out her wrist. The Doctor sighed, and repaired hers as well.

"Right," said the Doctor. "Now, I'll come and get you in…oh, four hours? If you aren't back here, then I'll track you down, after all, time travelers are easy to find. Good luck!" With that, the Doctor turned and darted off of the sidewalk.

"Come on Roricus!" he shouted. Rory looked at Amy, a worried expression on his face.

"Go on, we'll be fine!" Amy said reassuringly. "Get out of here, I'll see you in a few!"

"Hours," Rory muttered. "Be careful."

And he too disappeared into the woods. Lucy looked at the other Doctor, Jack, and Martha.

"Good luck guys," she said. She walked up to Jack, and shamelessly gave him a great big hug.

"It's great to see you again," she said, grinning. "Now, go on, to 1944 with you!"

"You be careful, alright? You're a human now, don't you forget that," said Rose.

"Ah, you know me, I'll be fine, always have been, always will be," said the Doctor with a grin.

"Come on then, it's not like we're never going to see each other again," said Amy impatiently.

"You never know," said Rose solemnly. She looked at Martha and Jack. "Good to see you Martha, Jack," she said with a smile.

"Good luck!" said Martha.

"Tally ho!" said Jack, and he held out his arm for the Doctor and Martha to take. Lucy sighed, and punched a few numbers into her teleport.

"Alright, hold on you two, this is going to be rough," she said. Rose and Amy held onto her arm, gripping it tightly. She pressed a button.

"Three, two…" she said quietly, but just before one, she looked up suddenly, and met Jacks eyes. His expression was solemn, and she held his gaze for a brief moment. She had a feeling, that strange feeling you get that something's going to happen. "One."

There was a gut wrenching lurch and the street disappeared. Amy and Rose shrieked, and Lucy felt both of their grips slipping. The teleport was faulty, the Doctor hadn't repaired it right!

"Hold on!" she shouted into the whirlwind of travel, but even as she said this, they both slipped out of her grasp, and moments later, she slammed into the ground, and Lucy knew no more.
