Hello! Sorry this has taken quite a while. Someone wanted more Chloe/Jack action and I aim to please so Jack's staying in the story. There are a few references in it because I enjoy references. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

"Wait!" Chloe exclaimed.
The Doctor sighed, turned around and frowned at her, "What?"
"What about Jack?"
The Doctor's almost invisible eyebrows bent into a deeper frown, "Jack?"
"Yeah. We can't just leave him behind! He seems lonely."
"He's got a team of people to worry about, why would he be lonely with them around?"
"Because he sleeps in his office and he seemed to get really excited when you came."
The Doctor was taken aback by that, "Oh. Right."
"Have you ever wondered how lonely people sometimes are when you drop them back on Earth, Doctor?"
"Suppose not."
"Perhaps you need to sometimes, because people get hurt."
The Doctor pulled a thoughtful face, remembering what Amy said to him during the incident with the cubes and the Shakri, then sighed, "Fine. Where is he?"

"Found it," Jack said as he came in, grinning as he held up the fez. The Doctor smiled gleefully as his old friend threw him the fez.
The Doctor chuckled as he placed it on his head. "I never knew you had one!"
"I went to Egypt with my wife, Estelle, once. She bought it for me," Jack explained, sparkles formed by memories appearing in his eyes.
"You have a wife?" The Doctor asked. Jack never seemed like a man to commit.
"Had. She died. I had to do something when you were gone."
The Doctor chuckled a little. "Fancy a trip, Jack?"
Jack frowned and gave the Time Lord a suspicious stare, "What happened to me being wrong?"
The Doctor laughed again, "A lot more wibbly stuff has gone on and the TARDIS handled it; I'm sure she can handle you. What do you say? One more trip?"
Jack chuckled, "Why did I say no last time?"
The Doctor frowned. Jack seemed so committed to his team last time, now he didn't mind running off. What had changed since last time? "Because of your team."
"All changed now. What are we waiting for then?"
The Doctor laughed. That explained it. He opened the TARDIS doors, before jumping inside, followed by Chloe and Jack.
"Whoa!" Jack exclaimed as they came inside. The current ostentatious, and gigantic console room of the TARDIS was a surprise to him, since he had been used to the smaller, more dimly lit one.
Chloe laughed as she started to wander around, "It's amazing! It's better than what mum described it as!"
"He redecorated," Jack explained, "But I kind of like it. It's more grand than before."
The Doctor smiled triumphantly as he leaned on the console, "Won't your team notice your absence, Jack?"
"You've got a time machine," Jack retorted, "You should be able to bring be back on the right date, otherwise I also have my vortex manipulator. Good thing I don't have to rely on you all the time."
"Right, of course! River's got one of those. I've gotten used to it but it's still a space hopper! Rubbish way of time travel!"
"Oh, whatever! Who's River?"
"Close friend."
"Ooh, do you mean companion close or incredibly close?" Jack asked, wanting to know more. The Doctor's reluctance to talk about the River woman was intriguing, considering he was happily talking about her but wouldn't go into detail.
The Doctor thought about the pending consequences if he told Jack about River; and him meeting her was definitely out of the question. "Oh shut up! Let's just go, shall we?"
Jack grinned at Chloe as the Doctor spun around the console, and soon, the TARDIS flew into the time vortex.
