Once they were back in the TARDIS they went to the kitchen. Jaime sat, slumped over the table staring at her glass of orange that appeared to be bubbling away. She was listening to the conversation between Rose, the Doctor and John. "What did she mean by 'her song ending' and why did you react the way you did when she said it?" Rose asked. "Because I'd heard it before. On the Oodsphere." The Doctor replied. "That's the planet where the Ood come from, yeah?" On one of their adventures without Jaime and J.D, the Doctor had told her how he and Donna rescued the Ood from slavery and that made her happy.
"Ood Sigma said it," John spoke up. "His exact words were 'I think her Song must end soon'." "I actually thought he meant Donna and she thought so too." The Doctor picked up. "Now I realise he actually mean Jaime." He looked at the teenager who appeared to be deep in thought. "He knew she was going to end up in this universe." "He's not the only one though." John said. "Because Lucius and Caan knew it too." "Who's Lucius?" Rose asked. The Doctor shifted in his seat. "We went to Pompeii when we were supposed to go to Rome...and it was Volcano Day. Anyway there was an Augur called Lucius Petrus Dextrus and he could see the future. Said a lot of things that were true." "'She is returning and the all-powerful Fire-Bird is coming'." John finished.
"Weird. But how do you know what Caan said?" Rose asked John. The Half-Time Lord sat back in his chair. "Jaime remembered him saying a similar thing after we ran into that other Doctor and Jack on Fiction." "The Fire-Bird will rise once the Omni-Child reaches her demise." The Doctor quoted and frowned. "In a big ball of flame." This last bit was said almost to himself. Now even more thoughts were coming to mind. "Timothy Latimer said something about a Fire-Bird as well. "Weren't you a toffee-nosed school teacher at the time?" John asked and the Doctor just rolled his eyes. "Then there was the Face of Boe on New Earth asking me to 'look out for the Fire-Bird'." "I don't remember that." Rose said. "Of course you wouldn't. I was with Martha at the time."
Rose suddenly gasped. "Doctor! Platform One!" She said and the Doctors looked at her, surprised. "There was a woman who came in with the Face of Boe, looked human but she said she was a Hybrid." "Claimed to be from the Boeshane Peninsula." The Doctor muttered. "Where Jack is from." "Long darkish ginger hair and blue eyes," John picked up. "Green military jacket, orange and blue shirt, dark olive combat style trousers and sandy coloured boots." He said quite thoughtfully. "Yeah, that's her. How come you can remember what she wore?" "Reminded me of the Time War." The Doctor replied. "She knew our names though!" The blonde continued. "Yes, then she said to me; 'the Fire-Bird is seeking you'. I had no idea what she meant and then later I found her chatting with the Face of Boe." "She felt like a Time Lord but she said she was of a similar but different species and there were only a few of her kind scattered through the universe." John added. "The Fire-Bird." The Doctor muttered, suddenly realising. "It's like I've heard of it my whole life. The Sensorites, the Krotons, Professor Herbert Clegg..." "Oh! I remember him! He told you there was an 'All-Powerful Fire-Bird in your future but you'd met her once before'." John interrupted and the Doctor nodded. "Then there was the Sisterhood of Karn, Panna of the Kinda, that Toymaker fellow, the Kelton on Orbis...I don't know why this is just coming to me now!"
There was the sound of cracking glass followed by a small explosion and a surprised yelp from Jaime. They looked to see that the glass of orange juice had exploded and it had gone all over the teenager. "How did that happen?" John asked as he got a cloth to clean up the mess. Jaime honestly didn't know how. All she had been doing was staring intensely at the glass and now she had a worse headache. But her main worry was the 'Fire-Bird'. She was the Fire-Bird yet he'd been 'warned' about her his whole life. How was that even possible? It was just wrong on so many levels. "What about the rest?" Rose continued to question. "What 'something' is coming and who's going to knock four times?" However the Doctor shook his head. "That's something in our future I don't wish to visit right now." He said. "Fair enough!" Rose shrugged and stood up to help John clean up the mess.
She hit his right arm quite by accident and he hissed in pain. The Doctor raised his brows. "What was that? He asked. "Nothing!" J.D replied but the full Time Lord stood up. "That wasn't nothing." He said and gently took hold of his twin's right arm but John tried to pull away. "No, really. It's fine." "He was bitten by a Weevil." Jaime said and the Doctor looked from Jaime to John with narrowed eyes, then pulled up his sleeve to find that the bitten area was bandaged perfectly. "Thanks Jaime!" J.D muttered. "What's a Weevil?" Rose asked. "Never mind that. What were you doing at Torchwood to get bitten by a Weevil?" "We didn't go Weevil hunting with them if that's what you're thinking." John said. "The damn things came into the shopping centre." "What were you doing in a shopping centre?" Rose asked, confused. "Getting some glasses, you know, from that Voucher," John answered. "Only they came in looking for somebody specifically." Jaime shivered and sat down, her eyes closed. "There were dozens of them and they initiated a Psionic/Telepathic attack on her." Rose comforted the girl in a hug. "I couldn't do much because there were so many and when I threatened them with the Sonic, one of them attacked me. Luckily Jaime managed to activate her Psychic Shield and stunned them with a Pulse Wave."
"Why did they do that?" The Doctor asked. "Apparently they thought she was like them and oddly enough she was able to speak to and understand them. She even sent them away." "How? Is she part Weevil?" Rose asked but Jaime shook her head. "I'm human. Always have been, always will be." She mumbled. It was something new to figure out but he needed to check them out. "Come on you two, I'm taking you to the Med-Bay. "Oh come on!" John groaned as Jaime sighed. But the Doctor ignored their protests and dragged them off to Med-Bay, leaving Rose to clean up the mess in the kitchen.
