I'll put the next one up tomorrow which is going to be entitled The Resurrection Ring which means, Rose is going to be in it, YAY! Alright please enjoy the rest of the story and PLEASE review, review, review! I want to know what things I'm doing great on and the things that I could improve on, so please give me some feedback people and thank you for reading!
A little while later the doorbell rang and I went to go answer it to find Donna standing on the other side of it. "This better be important, I was just in my Jacuzzi tub." She said as I took her by the arm and dragged her inside the room before closing the door behind her.
"It is, Jane's gone." I responded.
"Again!? I thought she would have learned her lesson by now and that she would stop running off by now." She said.
"No I'm sorry you misunderstood me, she's still here. She's just not here." I told her.
"Alright c'mon then what are you on about? Spit it out then!" she exclaimed.
"He means that I turned invisible." Jane said when suddenly Donna gave a shriek.
"Oi! Who said that!?" she exclaimed as I heaved a small sigh and dug a par of cardboard glasses out of my pocket before I placed them on her face. Donna gave another petrified shriek when suddenly Jane came into view. "Oi! Where did you come from!?" she cried.
"I accidentally drank a potion that Cassie made that turned me invisible." She explained.
"Yeah and now we just need the antidote." I told her before I removed the glasses from her face.
"Oh really and how am I supposed to know it!? And what the hell are these anyway!?" she exclaimed.
"They're special glasses that have the ability to see through certain things or rather things that aren't there." I told her.
"So what they're like X-ray glasses?" she questioned me when suddenly Peter and Joshua came out of their room.
"What's going on here? Where's Jane?" Peter asked.
"Your sister accidentally made her disappear and so now Donna is going to help watch you while Cassie and I come up with the antidote. You wouldn't happen to know it would you?" I asked him.
"Actually, I think I read it inside a book once." He said when suddenly the power went out.
"Oh that's just great! Now we're sunk!" I shouted as I threw my hands up into the air and Cassie ran out of her room.
"Daddy! I'm scared!" she cried as she jumped into my arms.
"It's alright darling, we'll get some flashlights out of the closet." I told her as she hid her face inside my chest and started to tremble and shake with fright.
"I don't like the dark." She said anxiously.
"Shh,.." it's alright I whispered as I gently kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back soothingly.
"Now it'll be impossible for anyone to see me!" Jane cried.
"Maybe not," Peter began before he started to walk back down the hallway and removed his sonic screwdriver from his pocket before he pressed the button and turned it on.
"Peter? Where are you going?" Jane asked as she ran after him.
"Over to my bookshelf. Since I'm the next time lord I have a lot of them and I've had to read a lot of things about stuff like this." He told her as he pointed the tip of the sonic screwdriver at all the different kinds of books before he stopped and pulled one out. "Aha! This one should have it. Common pranks that aliens and other supernatural beings pull." He said as he set the book on top of his desk and shone the light down at it.
He continued turning pages for a while until he finally stopped on the proper page that had the antidote. "Here it is, the antidote to the invisibility potion is believe it or not love and happy memories." He read.
"What!? What kind of antidote is that!?" Jane exclaimed.
"I dunno, that's just what it says." He told her.
"But how can a potion have that?" she asked him as he closed the book again.
"Well, maybe it's not supposed to be a potion." He told her.
"You mean if we all get together and start telling stories about Mum, I will become visible again?" she questioned.
"I'm not sure, but it's worth a try." He told her before they both came back out of the room.
"So, did you find the antidote?" I asked them.
"Peter thinks if we start telling stories about how much fun we had with Mum and how much we loved her that I won't be invisible anymore." Jane said.
"Well, alright. I've got the flashlights so we'll just sit down right here and talk about it." I said as I set a flashlight down in the center of the floor and turned it on. "Oh my gosh where do I start?" I wondered.
"I know, what if we go around the circle and each share a happy memory about her. Except for JJ of course, he can just listen." Cassie suggested.
"That is an excellent idea Cassie. I'll start." I began. "Well one of my favorite memories was when Cassie was a baby and we all went to the zoo together. Your mother loved looking at all the different kinds of animals, especially the monkeys. I think it was because she was one." I said as everyone else laughed and then it was Donna's turn.
"Well my favorite memory is when I first met you and Rose, I didn't have a clue what I was doing or why I just suddenly showed up inside the TARDIS but Rose was so sweet and understanding about it that it's no wonder why we became fast friends. I sort of think that I became like a mother figure to her, and she certainly was like a daughter to me, I loved her so much. And I always will." She said with a nod and a sniff. "Sorry," she apologized before brushing away her tears.
"Don't worry Donna it's alright, Peter, what about you?" I asked him.
"Well my favorite memory of my mum is when she saved up all her money to give me that shiny red bicycle that I wanted when I was Joshua's age and taught me how to ride it. Of course she taught me so well that a couple years later Dad was able to show me how to ride it without training wheels." He said.
"Yeah that's a good memory," I began before I placed the special glasses onto my face and looked over at Jane and looked at her. "Jane, what's your favorite memory about your mother?" I questioned.
"Well, I always loved it when she used to sing to me before bed to help me get to sleep." She answered.
"Oh yeah, there was that song that she always used to sing but I forgot the name of it." Cassie said.
"I remember it." Peter began before he started to sing it softly.
