Here we go, chapter 4...So what was the TARDIS doing?

London,2014.

"Oh Jack, just because he winked at you, doesn't mean he wants to sleep with you," Mickey said, "And when she smiled at you it doesn't mean she thought you were hot, she's an air hostess, she smiles at everyone." If Martha hadn't have been eating at the time, she probably would have slammed the two grown men's heads together, instead she shook her head and took another bite of her sandwich.

"Well she gave a special smile to me..." Jack retorted hastily.

"Yeah, yeah, Jack, of course!" Mickey leaned back in his chair. The three of them were on lunch break from UNIT work, they couldn't save the world on an empty stomach, though, really, it was more the Doctor saving the world than them. Mickey described UNIT's role as 'clean up'.

"Do you think he misses us?" she asked suddenly.

The two men went quiet and the three of them sat in silence until jack piped up, "well with a new face of a 12 year old, he is probably trying to hit it off with some young Earth women," he paused as Mickey reached protectively for his wife," Sorry Mickey..." he turned to Martha, "Sorry Martha..." Mickey continued eating, satisfied that Jack had used manners for more than once that day.

Martha was about to continue eating when she heard a familiar noise. The men heard also and all three jumped to their feet as a blue box appeared before them and the doors opened.

"He must have heard us talking about him!" Jack cheered, as they all ran inside the TARDIS. Martha looked around, still big, but it was dark now, and had an eerie purple glow, "oh I liked the coral." she sighed. What was also missing was a certain mad man in the box. "The Doctor's not here," Mickey said as all three searched "Where is he?" As he said that the TARDIS doors shut and it sprang to life, taking three very hungry passengers with her.

London, 1814

"Oi potato brain, get your hat, I'm not cleaning it again!" Jenny cried at the Sontaran. Vastra held back a laugh as her maid chased the dwarfish figure around the room. Trenzalore over and done with, the three of them felt a few weeks of rest would do them good. Vastra herself just enjoyed the time to contemplate the weird behavior of the Doctor, not that he wasn't normally odd, but his erratic change near his grave had startled her. One second he was staring into his own time stream then he randomly grabbed the air and well...

"kissed it!" Jenny said softly. Vastra jumped, and turned to see her beautiful earth girl sat watching her from a nearby stool, Strax was sat in a huge chair opposite, "We were thinkin' of it two madam," Jenny explained "He was talking to someone, but he was so quiet, I couldn't really hear who he was talking to." Strax agreed. "I heard him say he didn't know how to say it?" Strax face scrunched up," What is it?" The two women turned to each other " I have no idea Strax, but whatever it is, for him it must be something we have no problem doing." Jenny smiled, "Very well deduced madam, I'll just go get your tea..." A noise, that noise, "The TARDIS!" Jenny said and ran behind Vastra's chair. Strax stood, "He must have heard us talking about him...come let us apologise to our mighty friend for scrutiny of his mad behavior." All three, scared with the thought of an angry Doctor, waited till the door opened. When it did, what they saw confused them further.

"Ugh I'm gonna be sick..." Jack gagged, "And not just because I'm starving." Martha straightened her hair and looked toward the door, and screamed. In front of the doors stood two hideous aliens, one tall and reptilian, the other, well it was potato like. Jack and Mickey both pulled out their guns, as did the two aliens.

"What's it gonna be, head or heart?" Jack growled. "Where's the Doctor? What have you done with him?" Vastra shouted back.

"We could ask you the same thing!" Mickey said furiously.

The five stayed in standoff for what felt like hours, until a young woman ran forward from the aliens, Martha stood in front of her two boys.

"Who are you?" The young woman asked, her cockney accent made her seem friendlier than the others, Martha could trust her. "I'm Martha, I used to travel with the Doctor, this is Jack and Mickey," she indicated to the gun holding idiots beside her. "They used to travel with him as well."

"I'm Jenny, this is Madam Vastra, and this is Strax, we're the Doctor's friends." the two women smiled, and the guns were lowered by both sides.

"So," Vastra walked forward, followed by the others," why are you here? And also, where is the Doctor?" she asked.

"We don't know where he is, but why we're here, well apparently the same reason as you." As Martha said this, the TARDIS doors shut and all six were whisked away, confusion echoing in all their minds.
