And add to that a curious little girl who looks vaguely familiar yet completely unknown well, life for Sherlock Holmes and John Watson isn't going to be the same again.

3. Scared

You're Both Good Men

Chapter Three: Scared?

AN: It took me a while to decide what I'd call this chapter but I settled with this. Anyway, a few things; 1) Sherlock wasn't really listening when the Doctor said three years last chapter hence why he repeats himself and Sherlock is shocked. Secondly, I'm not too sure about the ending but you guys decide. I think that's it, really. Enjoy xxxx

"Where are we? In time I mean." Sherlock asked, looking around.

"Three years in the future, as I said."

"Wait, three years?! I wait that long to return?"

"You're not the only one who waited." The Doctor informed him.

"John?"

"Yes, oh, over here. You're about to knock on the door."

"Oh, of course." Sherlock replied, ducking behind a car with the Doctor.

"Do I get punched?" It seemed like a daft question but he had to know.

"No, you don't go in." The Doctor replied, almost sadly.

"Why?" Sherlock asked curiously.

"Because you're scared."

Sherlock scoffs at this. "How boring."

"Yes, well." The Doctor replied affronted.

"Can't I go in?"

No, you can't cross timelines. If the other you decides to go in then it can cause a collapse."

"Aren't we already crossing the timelines?" Sherlock asked smugly.

"Let's go then."

"Actually ..."

"No, I'll drop you off at home and you can wait three years to see Doctor Watson. Let's go."

"Do I have to wait three years?"

"Well, no. That was your decision."

"Yes, but if I only wait a year will that cause a collapse?"

"Well, actually, I don't know. Mmm ... Good question. You'll have to find out."

"What?"

"Let's go." The Doctor replied, watching the other Sherlock disappear round the corner.

"Okay." And for once, Sherlock was unsure.

"I'll be with you in a moment, just have to make a call." The Doctor replied, waving his mobile at Sherlock.

Once Sherlock had shrugged his shoulders and closed the door, the Doctor ran up the steps of 221B Baker Street.

He knocked on the door and John Watson answered.

"Hello?"

"Hello, John Watson?"

"Yes. Who are you?"

"Ah, just someone. Listen, don't give up, okay."

"What?"

"Just that." The Doctor replied, walking away from the confused Doctor Watson.

"Okay." John replied, closing the door and shaking his head.

"Good phone call?" Sherlock asked.

"What? Oh, yes. Just fine."

"Okay." Sherlock replied, eying the Doctor cautiously.

"Let's head off then."

"Yes, let's."

Sherlock watched as the Doctor flicked numerous switches and dials. It was very exciting.

The Doctor ran to the door and pulled the doors open.

"Oh. Wrong time."

"Where are we?" Sherlock ran to the Doctor excitedly. "And who's that little girl?" He added with confusion.

"Time to go." The Doctor slammed the doors quickly.
