Jaime shook Luke lightly as he lay on the floor, "Luke, Luke!" His eyes fluttered open and he looked up at Jaime and the Doctor,

"Doctor?" The Doctor nodded,

"That's me. Good to meet you in the flesh." Luke sat up, looking around,

"What, what happened? Mum and the Trickster." The Doctor placed his hands on Luke's shoulders,

"Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, listen to me. Everything's going to be all right. I can find Sarah. I can bring her back. I promise. But I need you to be strong for me, just like you were before. I know you can do it." Clyde and Rani woke up, looking suspiciously at the Doctor,

"Who are you?" The Doctor grinned,

"Hello, Clyde. And that will be Rani." Clyde narrowed his eyes,

"What? How'd you know my name?" Rani clicked her fingers,

"Wait a moment. You must be. It's you, isn't it?" The Doctor nodded,

"That's me."

"The Doctor!" Jaime smiled,

"That's him." He turned and swooped her into his arms, squeezing her tightly before putting her down,

"Jaime Wilson." Jaime raised an eyebrow,

"Harper, Doctor, you know this." The Doctor winked,

"Yeah, yeah." Clyde cut into their exchanged,

"I hope you're as good as Sarah Jane says you are." The Doctor rubbed the back of his neck,

"Well, you know journalists, always exaggerating. But yeah, I'm pretty amazing on a good day." Jaime rolled her eyes,

"Oh, now you're modest." K-9 rolled up to them,

"Master, query. Where is Mistress Sarah Jane?" A silly grin spread across the Doctor's face as he set eyes on the metal dog,

"K9! Did you miss me? Did you miss me, eh?"

"Repeat. Whereabouts of Sarah Jane? Where is she?" Clyde looked around the room,

"Where are we?" Jaime looked out the window, seeing pure white,

"There's been a dimensional shift. Time's moved on but us, and this entire building, we've been left behind." Rani joined her at the window,

"There's nothing out there." Clyde nodded at all of them,

"I said all along, I knew there was something wrong about all of this. And what exactly is going on?" The Doctor looked preoccupied,

"I'll explain later." The three teens began to all speak at once before being silenced by the Doctor's football rattle, "Shush. Here's the answer to all your questions. Yes, that was the Trickster. Yes, we're trapped. Yes, I'm the only one who can get us out of the trap. Yes, I'm going to bring Sarah Jane, and your mum and dad, and all the others back safe, but I can't do any of it without you." Clyde smirked,

"You, you need us?" Jaime raised her eyebrows at him,

"Yes, Clyde. Just like Sarah-Jane needs you." Rani frowned,

"My mum and dad, where are they?" Luke place a hand on her arm,

"Just go along with him, Rani. I saw him save the world." The Doctor grinned,

"You helped me save the world, Lukey boy. Right. Come on, we can use the TARDIS. I assume everybody knows what the TARDIS is, unless you've really not been paying attention. And, allons-y!" They ran out of the room and into the hotel reception, "Oh, no, no, no, no. It was there. It was right there. Wait, wait, wait." The TARDIS started to materialise in front of them,

"That noise. I've heard it before." Rani commented, causing the Doctor to shrug,

"That was me, trying to break through. Got knocked back by the Trickster." Jaime nodded,

"That's why I struggled getting through, kept popping up before today."

"Temporal schism is preventing full functioning TARDIS materialisation and Mistress Jaime's teleportation." K-9 informed the two Time-Lords, Clyde laughed,

"Wait a minute. That's the TARDIS? It's just a wooden box." The Doctor ignored him,

"Come on, you can do it. More power. Come on!" The TARDIS slowly began to fade away completely. "Okay, got no TARDIS. She can't materialise here until time moves forward."

"What, so we're trapped here, wherever this is?" Rani didn't look impressed.

"No." The Doctor disagreed, "Because what have I got? I've got K9."

"Affirmative." The Doctor beamed,

"And I've got you three. And any friend of Sarah Jane Smith is a friend of mine."

"But where is this?" Clyde asked, "What's happened to the rest of the world?"

K-9 paused, "Our present location nowhere, no when." Luke frowned,

"No when?" Jaime nodded,

"Look at the clocks." They had all paused, the TV had frozen in the same position, Luke looked shocked,

"Time's stopped." Clyde raised his eyebrows,

"What? You're joking." Luke shook his head,

"No. Time hasn't stopped. This second's on a loop. Twenty three seconds and twenty three minutes past three o'clock." The Doctor nodded,

"And we're caught inside it. In this one second." Clyde cleared his throat,

"But again, where is Sarah Jane?" The Doctor turned in a circle,

"I think she's right here." Rani nodded slowly,

"So we've been kept behind in this second.

"Affirmative Mistress Rani."

"But the rest of the world," Rani continued, "Mum and Dad and everyone else, they've moved on from here, forwards in time. Why has the Trickster trapped us here?" Jaime smiled at her,

"Oh, come on, Rani. You know the answer to that."

"We're Sarah Jane's friends, all of us. Her best friends." Jaime nodded,

"Yeah. Which means?" Rani snapped her head up,

"Hostages. He can use us to get at her." Clyde frowned,

"We've met the Trickster before, but we've never found out who he is." The Doctor shrugged slightly,

"The Trickster is a creature from beyond the universe. Forever trying to break in to our reality, manifest himself. He's one of the Pantheon of Discord." Clyde smirked,

"That's a good name for a band."

The Doctor seemed to contemplate it, "Yeah, actually, not bad. He's an eternal exile, who exists to wreak havoc. But we can fight him, the five of us. And we can win." He was cut off by the simultaneous beeping of his and Jaime's sonic screwdrivers, "Oh! Ha, that's it. A time trace. Just a hint of Sarah Jane. Ooo, she's close." Rani suddenly shivered,

"What was that? Felt like someone just walked over my grave." The Doctor bounced on the balls of his feet,

"Oh, oh, oh, she's here. She's here! Sarah!"

"Sarah Jane." Rani cut in, "She doesn't like being called Sarah." The Doctor looked slightly uncomfortable,

"She does by me. K9?"

"Scanning, Master."

"Doctor! Doctor!" Sarah Jane's voice echoed through the room, she was with them, Jaime knew it. She could ffel it in the pit of her stomach, the niggling that told her to get out, fix her manipulator and find Sarah-Jane, that it was simple. She knew that wasn't the case, she turned to K-9,

"K9, isolate the time trace."

"Affirmative, Mistress."

"K9?" The Doctor asked,

"Temporal schism divided in two, Master." The Doctor smacked his forehead,

"Yes, of course. We're trapped here in 3:23:23. and Sarah Jane's trapped too, just in another second." Clyde held up a hand,

"Hold on. You said you'd explain later. Well, it's later. Please explain."

"The Trickster doesn't want us helping Sarah," The Doctor ran a hand through his hair, "so he's separated us, trapped us in two different seconds."

"Doctor!" The Doctor looked up suddenly,

"Oh, oh, she's upstairs. Come on. Luke, K9, watch for the TARDIS, you see it coming back, shout the place down."

"Orders accepted, Master." The Doctor pointed at the others,

"You three, with me. Spit spot." They ran up the stairs and through a door…

Only to end up back in the ceremonial room, Rani looked around, "How did we end up here again?" Clyde breathed in,

"It's a spatial loop mixed up with a temporal loop." Jaime looked at him, slightly surprised,

"How did you work that one out?" Clyde shrugged,

"Well, we've been doing this for a while now. I have taken notes." The Doctor steeped up the altar,

"Come on, come on, come on, Sarah. Let me find you."

"Hang on, though." Rani asked, "This is mad. The Trickster, he's this all-powerful immortal who wants to cause chaos throughout the stars, and he wants Sarah Jane to get married. What does he get out of that?"

The Doctor ignored her question, "She's here. If I can narrow the link ratio."

"Doctor." Came a rasping voice from the back of the room, there stood the Trickster, dressed now in a black robe, the Doctor looked him up and down,

"Ah. You look better in black. Or is white the new black? Jaime?" Jaime nodded,

"Rather fetching, mate." The Trickster ignored him,

"At last. Doctor, Jaime Harper. I could feel this moment reverberating back through the ages. The meeting of the Pantheon of Discord and the last of the Time Lords." Jaime nodded,

"We've known the legends of the Pantheon since we were children. We've fought your shadows and your changelings. I never thought we'd actually meet."

"And I know the legends of the Doctor. The man of ice and fire, who walked among gods, who once held the Key to Time in his hands. And you, Jaime Harper, the Sister Child of War, abandoned, found again, the woman who tames the Master. Now the legends are surrounded by children." The Doctor frowned,

"They're my friends. Which reminds me, you're looking a bit lonely for a Pantheon." The Trickster scoffed,

"I embody multitudes. And who are you, the man who has lost everybody, to talk to me of loneliness, when the Gate is waiting for you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Sarah Jane Smith is my prize. Even you, Doctor, didn't realise how wonderful she is." The Doctor glared fiercely,

"What do you want with her?"

"What I always want from any of those I visit." The Trickster explained, "Her agreement. Goodbye, Doctor." He vanished, leaving the five alone once more,

"Her agreement!" The Doctor exclaimed, "The power of words. She says I do, and. Yes, that's it!" Clyde frowned,

"That's what?"

"She promises to love and honour her husband, the wedding ring goes on and then she's agreed to it. She's totally under the Trickster's power. Marital bliss, but she forgets all about this. She starts living a new life." Jaime nodded,

"Forgetting about her old life protecting the Earth."

"And the planet's wide open, so aliens can just barge in?" Clyde guessed, the Doctor nodding along,

"Without Sarah, without you lot saving the world from your attic in Ealing, there'll be chaos and destruction. Meat and drink to the Trickster." Clyde scoffed,

"As if she's gonna say yes." Jaime sighed,

"But she will, won't she. Because we're here." The grinding engines echoed through the room, the Doctor jumped,

"TARDIS! Beautiful. Yes! It's homing in on me. Emergency program, protecting the pilot. Of course. Partial materialisation." Luke and K-9 burst into the room,

"What's happening?" The Doctor pointed at the blue energy crackling off the TARDIS,

"Look, that's pure artron energy. TARDIS power. Equal and opposite to the Trickster's power. That's how we can fight him." HE unlocked the TARDIS door and shoved Jaime in before jumping in, turning back to the others, "Run!" Rani, Clyde and Luke tried to reach forward but a strong wind was pushing them back,

"Doctor! Jaime!" Jaime reached out to them,

"Come on, all of you, get in. Come on now." She managed to grab Clyde's hand, but couldn't pull him in. The door slammed shut as the TARDIS dematerialised. Jaime began to rush around the TARDIS console with the Doctor, pulling levers and pressing buttons,

"Jaime!" The Doctor called before spinning the ball attached to the side causing them to flail about the console room, "Hold on!" They were roughly jostled about and flung around before shuddering and shaking softly, Jaime and the Doctor ran to the door, opening it and seeing Sarah-Jane and Peter,

"Doctor! Jaime!" The Doctor looked behind him,

"Got to be quick. The TARDIS can't stabilise. Clyde's keeping the Trickster busy for the moment. Oh, those three are just brilliant."

"Doctor, what can I do?" Sarah-Jane asked, beggin him. "If I say no, we're trapped here forever. If I say yes, I condemn the world to the Trickster. Either way I lose. There's no way out." The Doctor smiled softly,

"It all rests with you, Sarah. Your greatest challenge. The hardest thing you'll ever face in your life." Sarah-Jane shook her head,

"What is it? Tell me what I've got to do." Jaime smiled sadly,

"You've fought the Trickster before. You know how he operates, how he can be defeated." Sarah-Jane shook her head, crying slightly,

"Oh, no. No." The Doctor turned to Peter,

"I know you're a good man, Peter. I'm so sorry." They were interrupted by Clyde and the Trickster appearing, gripping hands in the air, artron energy encompassing them.

"Clyde!" Sarah Jane cried. Clyde shuddered,

"I can't hold it." He let the Trickster go and the TARDIS dematerialised once more.

DwTwDwTw

The Doctor flung the door open with a, "What do you take me for, Sarah? Just thought I'd go the quick way. Ooo, I like it in here." Jaime rolled her eyes and poked her head under his arm,

"Ignore him, Sarah-Jane." Rani nodded towards the blue box,

"Can we have a look?" The Doctor looked mock-affronted,

"What, in the TARDIS? My TARDIS!" He suddenly smiled, "Course you can, yeah." The teens and Sarah-Jane stepped into the TARDIS,

"Oh, wow. It really is, isn't it? It's bigger on the inside." Clyde gaped, Rani nodded,

"It's beautiful." Luke nodded,

"Transcendental dimensions."

Clyde pointed at a button, "Wow, what does this do?"

Sarah-Jane tutted, "Hey, don't touch." She turned to the Doctor, "You came all that way for me." The Doctor smiled down at her,

"You're so important. Not just to me. The Trickster wanted to end your story, but it goes on. The things you've done, Sarah, they're pretty impressive, but, oh, the things you're going to do." Luke looked up at his words,

"The future. How about we could go for a ride?" Clyde nodded excitedly,

"Or back. To the dinosaurs, yeah?" Rani grinned,

"Another planet?" Sarah-Jane shook her head,

"No way. For one thing, you were grounded by the Judoon. And your parents would never forgive me. Go on." Jaime hugged the three before the left back to the attic. Sarah-Jane turned to the Doctor,

"Is this the last time I'm ever going to see you?" He shrugged,

"I don't know. I hope not." She smiled,

"Goodbye, Doctor, Jaime, until the next time."

A sad look appeared on the Doctor's face, "Don't forget me, Sarah Jane."

She smiled sweetly, "No one's ever going to forget you." She left without a backwards glance.

DwTwDwTw

Jaime strolled into the hub to see it empty, she heard voices upstairs in the green room and waltzed up, she opened the door but quickly covered her eyes when she saw a half-naked Jack and Ianto in mid kiss,

"Oh for fuck's sake, you two! Yan, you have a flat! Use it!" She heard some rustling before Jack gently lowered her hands from her face, she saw he'd only pulled his braces over his chest so they covered his nipples, he grinned cheekily,

"Don't think we don't know you and Owen already christened this room, Jaime." Jaime raised an eyebrow,

"I don't know what you are talking about."
