Mickey slowly walked towards the blue box, the last time he saw this box he blew up number ten Downing Street. He slowly raised his hand and began to knock. The door was pulled open sharply and a handsome man was glaring at him.
"Who are you?" he snapped
"I might ask the same question" Mickey said stiffly
"Oi Doc what do I with this plonker" the man yelled
"Who is it?"
"No idea some black bloke"
The man disappeared and the door opened more to reveal the Doctor.
"Rickey" he said flatly
"Mickey" Mickey corrected "I'm here for the girls"
"They're not here"
Mickey raised his eyebrow "do I look stupid?"
"Yes" three voices answered
Mickey turned to see Gwen and Rose standing behind him, the Doctor was grinning.
"So who is this guy?" Mickey grumbled pointing at Jack
"Captain Jack Harkness, so you're Rickey."
"Mickey"
"Rickey" Gwen, Rose and the Doctor said
"Shall I just drop your passports and leave?" Mickey said annoyed
"Yes" the Doctor and Jack said quickly
"Oh Mickey we were just joking" Rose said sighing
"Well here it is" Mickey said gruffly shoving two passports into Rose's hand.
"You need to change yours Gwen" Rose said
"Why?" Mickey asked
"Gwen's only gotten herself hitched" Rose said
"WHAT?" Mickey yelped "what the hell will your mother say?"
"Well I'm hoping along the lines of congratulations" Jack said
"I take it this is him then? Good, at least I know he won't go after Rose"
Everyone snorted
"Trust me when I say being married will not stop Jack" the Doctor said
"And Gwen is ok with that?"
"It's all an act Mickey, I know Jack"
"For how long? A day or two?"
"We met in 1941 so that's 64 years we've known each other, and we gotten married last week was it?"
"They've known each other for three months by your standard and in mine three weeks" the Doctor said
"Jackie is so going to kill you, now why are you in Cardiff?"
"We need fuel"
Eventually Mickey got on with Jack and the group of five sat back laughing and enjoying themselves…until the Doctor found a newspaper saying that a certain Siltheen has been made mayor of Cardiff.
He watched them as they laughed and sipped tea. He missed those kinda things, his eyes never left her face, he missed her more than anything else, unfortunately he can't stay he has to wait.
They managed to capture Margret, the woman the Siltheen had possessed. They discovered her plot to blow Cardiff up so she could escape into space. They saw the sign that meant Bad Wolf, two words that have followed the Doctor a lot recently.
"Can any of you look at me in the eye?" Margret said
Everyone tried but ended up looking somewhere else; the Doctor looked up and grinned, giving Margret a small wave.
"As a final request before you all take me to my death. I wish to go out for dinner, will you take me Doctor?"
"Sure, I like steak" the Doctor gave the woman a smile never trust a Siltheen she might attempt to poison me during dinner…if I regenerate I do hope it's after desert.
"I'm seeing someone Rose"
"Good for you"
"Aren't you jealous?"
"Why should I be? We're mates"
"Goddamnit Rose what happened to us? We were on the cusp on developing a relationship and then the Doctor comes swaging in-
"We were never going to have a relationship; you were my best mate, nothing more and nothing less. Good luck with this new girl"
"The Doctor has changed you"
"Yes for the better"
"Do you know my real name Doctor? It's Blon Fel-Fotch Pasameer-Day Siltheen"
"Long name"
"It will be on my death certificate"
"Yes so?"
"It doesn't have to be"
"Well it will be"
"Please Doctor Show mercy"
"You hurt a lot of people"
"And so have you"
The Doctor sighed, apart of him wanted to help her…but she did so many bad things. But was he any better?
"Jack the rift energy has increased" Tosh shouted in fright, the entire hub began to shake and the Japanese woman held on to her desk for dear life.
"What do we do Jack?" Susie shouted from her work station
"We do nothing, someone else is going to solve this one" Jack said
"But we're Torchwood, isn't this our job?" Owen shouted
Yes it is our job, but I can't be seen Jack thought, he sat underneath his desk staring at the small photo in his hand. The photo of the Doctor, Rose, him and his precious Gwen. Mickey had taken the picture today.
This rift energy decreased and the team began to clear up the mess. Jack sat there watching Rose and Gwen say goodbye to Mickey before they went into the TARDIS and the blue box faded away.
He knows what will happen next. Gwen will kiss him on his lips and they would go on to another adventure and then…then he will die and never see her again.
