A/N: Hey guys! First of all, I would like to tell you how sorry I am for making you guys wait so long for this next chapter! It's been probably over two weeks since the last update! I've just been really busy with exams and stuff and turning in a bunch of other work, but guess what? It's now winter break! So, here's the next chapter! And also, I would like to thank you all for your reviews! And PLEASE let me know if you like where the story is going or not, because I would really appreciate it if you did. I've realized that this story is a bit different than "A Day In the Lives of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson", because this story has slightly more of a plot to it, so PLEASE let me know what you want, and don't want! I won't take offense! I'm really writing this story for you guys, so I want you guys to be happy with it! So, here's the next chapter! Not all of the characters are in this one. It's mainly the Sherlock duo. Also, let me know which characters/actors you want to hear more from! I know you all have a favorite that you want to be in the story more, so just let me know, and I'll try to use them more!:) Anyways, here's the next chapter, and I hope you enjoy! Don't forget to favorite, follow, and leave plenty of reviews! Thank you!:D
***WARNING***: This chapter may contain some spoilers for "The Reichenbach Fall", so if you haven't seen it yet, and you're planning to, and you hate spoilers, you might want to go watch it. It's not too bad, but it's kind of post-reichenbach.
ALSO: If I don't see you guys before the holidays, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I hope you all have a lovely holiday and a happy new year!
The groups scattered around in the small neighborhood that they were in, trying to figure out where they were. It wasn't long until they all meandered back to the TARDIS before they were needed to. A few of the actors streamed into the TARDIS, while the others waited outside, chatting amongst themselves about how amazing it was to be in a different universe.
"Do you know where we are?" Daniel asked the Doctor, who was on his back, and under the TARDIS control panel.
"I believe somewhere in Liverpool the last time I checked." The Doctor asked as he twiddled with his screwdriver. "Why are you all back so early?" He asked, looking up at the few actors that were crowded around him.
"Well…" Daniel trailed off.
Tom noticed Daniels struggle, and jumped in.
"When you're done fixing the TARDIS, do you think you could take us to meet our characters? Only if it's alright with you…" Tom said, not wanting to bother the Doctor.
The Doctor paused for a moment, and then scooted out from under the panel, still sitting in a cross-legged position. He furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought as he rolled the question over in his mind.
"I don't see why not…" the Doctor muttered, not knowing what he was getting himself into. A few whispered 'yes's' were heard throughout the TARDIS as the actors celebrated. The few ran outside to tell the others as the Doctor stood to face Clara.
"I don't really know if that was the best decision that I have ever made." He said, squinting slightly.
"It'll make one hell of an adventure." Clara beamed, looking on the bright side.
"You're right." The Doctor said, smiling. "Geronimo, eh?" He said, holding out his hand to Clara. Clara grabbed the Time Lord's hand and smiled even wider.
"Geronimo." She agreed as they both ran out of the TARDIS to gather all of the actors into the time machine for the grand adventure that awaited them.
Once everyone was present within the police box, the Doctor started flipping controls.
"I think that the TARDIS should have enough energy to travel within this universe." He stated. "Where to first?" He asked.
All the actors looked around at each other, waiting for someone to raise their voice first.
"221B Baker Street, please." Martin requested from his position beside Benedict.
The Doctor smiled as he started running in circles around the controls, flipping, pulling, and pressing the occasional lever. The TARDIS began to shake and spin, jolting the actors about as they all yelped in joy.
A few moments passed by, and the TARDIS landed with a thud.
"Is there a Sherlock Holmes, and a John Watson present?" the Doctor asked the group, getting ready to swing open the doors. Martin and Benedict exchanged excited looks. Benedict was overly thrilled to finally meet his character, and see how he actually acted and behaved. Benedict thought that this could be a great opportunity to polish his acting of the detective's character for when he'd return to his own universe. Martin thought that this would be a great opportunity to screw around with John.
The Doctor swung open the doors, and motioned for the two actors to step out. As the two actors walked to the front door of 221B Baker street, the rest of the actors in the TARDIS across the street huddled around the door to try to get a peek as to what was happening.
Martin knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer it. Both Martin and Benedict waited patiently at the door for several minutes before concluding that no one was home. With disappointment, the duo began to turn around and head back to the TARDIS, when they heard someone calling them from down the street.
"Sherlock?" Benedict and Martin turned to the voice and saw John Watson about a dozen feet away from them, holding a carton of milk in hand. The ex army doctor didn't even notice his double standing behind the man that had been dead for over two months.
"Shit, I forgot that I'm supposed to be dead." Benedict whispered to Martin as they both stared in awe at John.
John dropped the milk and stormed up to the 'detective'.
"What the hell… " John muttered in awe as he stared at 'Sherlock' in front of him. John started pointing a finger at him as he began to shout. "You're supposed to be dead!"
Benedict started backing up slowly.
"I-it's not what it seems…" Ben started, but was interrupted by the hard blow on his nose that came from John's fist. Ben gripped his nose as blood started to slowly pour out. Martin tried to hold back his snickers as he covered his mouth with his hands.
"I swear, Sherlock, if this is another one of your bloody experiments I will-" John was grabbing Ben by the lapels at this point, and Martin decided to step between the two.
"-Hey, hey, alright now, let's all calm down for a moment." Martin said calmly. For the first time, John noticed Martin and his eyes widened. What the hell is going on? John wondered in complete shock as he stared at the man across from him who happened to look exactly like him (minus the new mustache).
"W-what… Who…?" John started, squinting at his doppelganger.
"Let's sit you down and have a nice chat, alright?" Martin suggested, motioning to the front door of 221B. As Martin marched into the flat with the staring John following close behind, Ben noticed movement in the corner of his eye. He turned to survey the empty street. He noticed the TARDIS directly across from him, but right next to it, in the shaded alley, he saw someone staring at him. As he squinted his eyes and took a few steps closer, he noticed that the man laughing at him from the alley way was in fact Sherlock Holmes.
Benedict smiled and ran across the street whilst holding his bleeding nose.
Sherlock stood, leaning against the brick wall in the alley, trying to fight back a smile.
"Thank you, whoever you are, for doing my job for me. I would have waited a bit longer before doing what you did, but that will have to do. " Sherlock stated quickly and in one breath.
"Amazing." Ben breathed as he stared at his character.
Sherlock smirked and pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to his double. Benedict thanked him and put the material to his bleeding nose.
"Where are you from? You're most certainly not from here. I'm guessing you're an actor, well, not really guessing as it's practically written all over your wardrobe." Sherlock started to ramble as he deduced the mysterious man.
"I'm… well…" Ben didn't know how to explain it.
"Go on." Sherlock persisted.
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm from a… sort of… different universe?" Ben stated the answer as if it was a question.
Sherlock smirked, and then squinted as he read Ben's face, trying to see if he was lying.
"You're… telling the truth…?" Sherlock inquired, still not quite believing this strange man. Ben nodded.
"I'm an actor in my universe, and I play you in a TV show." Ben explained.
"Interesting." Sherlock seemed to doze off into thought. "What's your name?" Sherlock asked the man, his eyes closed.
"Ben." Benedict stated.
"Your full name." Sherlock asked.
"Benedict Cumberbatch." Benedict answered. Sherlock raised an eyebrow, his eyes still shut in thought, but then he smiled once more and shot his eyes open again. He stuck his hand out to Ben, which he took, and shook firmly.
"Pleasure to meet you, Benedict Cumberbatch."
