Gwen, Mickey and Jackie ran into each other, they ended up leaning on each other gasping for breath.
"I thought I heard the TARDIS" Gwen gasped
"Me too" Mickey said
"But where is it?" Jackie demanded
A blue box appeared like magic in the sky, it was flying everywhere hitting various building, heading towards the three.
"DUCK!" Gwen shouted and the three of the, ducked feeling the TARDIS skim their heads. "God that man needs to learn to drive" Gwen muttered as the three of them ran to the TARDIS.
The door opened and a young man with brown hair sticking up everywhere, wearing the Doctor's clothes came out.
"Jackie, Mickey and Gwen good to see ya again" he said cheerfully wrapping an arm around them for a group hug, squashing Gwen in the process "now there's something I needed to tell you…what was it? Oh yeah Merry Christmas!"
And then he fainted.
Rose came out and she raised an eyebrow at the man.
"Rose who is he?" Jackie said
"The Doctor"
"Doctor Who?"
"So let me get this straight, the Doctor changed his body because he was dying" Gwen said
"Yes"
"He is now looking younger and hotter"
"Yes"
"And you're changing his clothes"
"Yes"
"And you claim that you don't feel attracted because…?"
"No comment" Rose said a blush growing on her cheeks "where's mum anyway?"
"Probably gone to buy every medication in the pharmacy…you know what's she's like when we get ill"
Rose rolled her eyes.
"Rose…" Gwen started, she looked down at the floor, her hair covering her face "where's Jack? I mean why isn't he here helping us carry this big lump? Is he injured?"
Rose sighed and placed a hand on Gwen's shoulder "Gwen…he….Jack was very brave and he did everything he could to protect earth…but…but he didn't survive"
"No, no, he's alive Rose, I know he is" Gwen said shaking her head
"Gwen…the Doctor said so"
"And the Doctor is fainting everywhere, he's probably delusional, my Jack is alive, he's alive I know he is, I can feel it" Gwen was beginning to shake "Jack….I need to see Jack Rosie"
Rose held her hysterical sister, wiping her tears away "he died for a good cause Gwen, he died protecting everyone, you especially, he loved you"
When Jackie came home Gwen was asleep in her room, and Rose looked sombre, she didn't ask questions, she's rather wait for her girls to tell her.
Gwen decided that Christmas was her least favourite holiday. Jack was dead, someone was after the Doctor, a killer Christmas tree almost killed her mum, a bunch of aliens have invaded, everyone with A positive was standing on roofs and she's locked in the TARDIS with an unconscious Doctor while her sister and best friend were stuck negotiating with aliens.
She poured herself a bit of tea "Merry Christmas Jack, sorry it isn't anything stronger…I might get pissed later but for now let's enjoy the tea" she muttered toasting thin air, she leaned back and gulped the hot liquid, spluttering when she realised a. how hot it was and b. that she hated tea. She knocked the flask over.
And before she knew it….everything was covered in smoke…she began to cough violently, yep definitely hates tea.
And then she felt someone pat her on the back and for one wild moment she thought Jack was there.
"Good to see you Gwen, how's life treating you?"
"Not so well, I've been stuck in London for six months, found out I was a widower, almost got killed by a tree and now earth is being invaded…fancy giving us a hand and stop them from killing people with a positive blood?"
The Doctor grinned and he pulled her up.
"Let's kick some alien butt…god I did not say that, I need to find a better, wittier and funnier remark"
"Did you hit your head lately?" Gwen asked
"No but I wouldn't put it past Mickey or your mum dropping me accidentally on purpose"
The world was saved once more by the Doctor, as always Jack thought I have to clean up after the mess, bloody Torchwood one.
He wandered through the streets, what I need is a Doctor detector Jack thought jokingly and then he saw it…unmistakeably a hand…it could be…but it might not…oh what the hell, he'll give it a full examination in the hub.
And then he saw her.
She was leaning against the wall drinking from a bottle, her hair was knotted and she looked fantastic in the black tracksuit.
He couldn't resist it…he'll take her to Cardiff. Why should he be away from his wife?
He walked up to her; she must have heard his footsteps because she looked up. Her face was marked with tears, her eyes were bloodshot and has he got close he could smell the alcohol on her breath.
She dropped the bottle, amber liquid spreading on the snow.
"You're dead" she whispered
Jack shrugged "maybe sweetheart, but I am here" he wrapped his arms round her; god he missed her, a hundred and forty years is far too long.
"Jack" she murmured "my Jack, I love you so much" she was slurring her words
He cupped her face and stared at her "even when you're pissed you're beautiful" he said he kissed her gently "oh Gwen"
She buried herself into his coat "it's just a dream though isn't it?"
Jack was about to tell her no…but then he heard her, Yvonne, leader of Torchwood one, and there is no way in heaven or hell would he let her near Gwen.
"Yes sweetheart, all a dream…you got to run home, your mother is worried…remember to stay away from alien alcohol and remember I love you"
"I love you Jack" Gwen said and she slowly pulled away and headed home, Yvonne never saw her.
He will take Gwen the next time.
He can only hope she isn't going to hit him when she finds out he lied tonight.
He snuck through some alleys and knocked on a flat door
Tosh answered "finally Owen was getting impatient wanted to start eating without you, what's up? You looked like your best friend died"
"Nothing" Jack mumbled pushing his way in.
