The Doctor, Jenny, Erfin and Lionel glanced into the room full of rainbow lights just in time to hear Skasis announcing:

"On the orange platform, with three losses and four wins... ladies and gentlemen, River Storm! And on the violet platform, with two losses and one win..."

"Do you have to repeat that all the time?" the familiar voice interfered.

"...the lady-gentleman Paul Steamer!" Skasis finished, and the beginning accords of Katy Perry's Firework filled the room. The kids surrounding the platforms rooted, and the two competitors began their "dance-run". It was like a music video game, but advanced: not only pressing the buttons with arrows, but repeating and making the shown moves better as well.

Upon the noise (though the "battle" promised to be interesting from the very beginning) Johnny-Jimmy, whose transformation back into a child was almost over, hurriedly sneaked behind the now opened door. No doubt, just to change clothing, because the lab coat and far too huge pants and shirt were hanging on him now. And here there was a sight to see. And to take part.

The song was over, and the girls bounced off the platforms, both shining from the inside.

"Next time I'll trock you over", River promised and burst out laughing.

"You wish! Nothing is too steamy for me!" Paul parried, blowing her chin-length reddish brown curls off her now sweaty forehead. "Deuce!"

Skasis, who was occupying the DJ place, clicked something on the panel and announced:

"Now let's introduce the new fighters of our Dance Revolution! The One-Quarter-Timelord... The Dazzler from the Noble Temple!"

"Come on, Lionel, he's about you", the Doctor whispered.

"Don't be shy, it's awesome!" Alice added, bouncing in impatience. "You were named after the king of beasts, after all!"

"Said a girl named after a fairytale heroine", Lionel shot out and jumped onto the platform which turned yellow. Skasis, knowing that there could be another way of proving things, hurried to go on:

"And, with the result of one win and one loss... The Venusian Aikido Fighter, Alice Tyler!"

This time the chosen song was Children of the Revolution. A really fitting one... Johnny-Jimmy returned right on time not to miss the peak of the "battle". When it was over, the kids, most of which were panting, but beaming as widely as they could, sat down onto the floor to catch their breath.

"Yeah, wish those scientists could see you now", the Doctor noticed. "You're all mixed up from human and Timelord particles, but look at you! Even here. The tune is the same, as well as the offered moves, but you all add something from yourselves. Alice adds particles of martial arts, River flows... sorry for bad pun... and Lionel adds visual effects".

Lionel shrugged - he couldn't help adding fountains of golden sparkling mist while "overdancing" Alice.

"Do you mind?" The Doctor made up his most charming face. "No? Then... Skasis, can you..."

"No trouble! I've got a special song for you!" Skasis called out and changed the platform colors to blue and green. The Doctor immediately got onto the blue one:

"Jenny! Drunken giraffe style versus gymnastics and acrobatics! Who wins?"

"Are you challenging me?" Jenny didn't make him wait.

"Drunken giraffe?" Hamish whispered to Rhodie. "What is it?"

"You'll see", Rhodie chuckled - she was already prepared for the next portion of fun, as well as the rest.

But here they were all caught unaware. The "special song" began with the words:

"Hello boys and girls, I am the Doctor,
But not the kind that gives you medicine,
I've traveled throughout time and space
Just to please the human race,
So let's not dilly-dally, let's begin!"

The Doctor almost stopped when he heard it, but caught up right in time not to lose at the start.

"What horror! Shame and nothing else!" Erfin squeaked, though even she was going to surrender - the atmosphere of cheer infected her from black-hared head to toes.

"You'll be next, Erf!" Skasis exclaimed, rocking from side to side in the rhythm of the song.

A/N: The end... or should it be the beginning?

P.S. The "special song" is It's Bigger on the Inside by Voltaire. Just search for it and listen. You won't regret it!
