"Hello Yaz, Ryan," Dorothy says as she joins them after being welcomed in by Graham.
"Hello Dorothy."
"I heard about last night."
"We know, you heard. Now we are trying to figure out how to get in."
"Well," they hear a whirring sound, "looks like you guys will have a way in." The 4 of them walk out into the room when the TARDIS starts to materialize in all its glory. The Doctor steps out to see her fam.
"Ace."
"You hurt them Professor," she kisses Graham on the cheek, "enjoy your time with her," she walks out of the house.
"You and Ace?""
"New, as in yesterday." Graham follows Dorothy out, "Dorothy."
"I will not see anyone else while you are gone, to show how serious I am, you can call me Ace."
"Ace."
"Yes?" He grabs her hand and kisses it.
"You know I will come back, she often drops us off, and I will call you whenever I can."
"Good, I will answer. Now go Graham, have fun."
"I will." Graham turns around and enters the house to see Yaz pushing the Doctor. After Jack comes out and flirts with him they enter the TARDIS.
About 20 minutes later, "we just said goodbye Graham."
"We are going to Tokyo with him."
"So it is good that I didn't go then, he wouldn't be allowed on the TARDIS."
"I would prefer it if it was you."
"I know. Though you have some knowledge that can make him shiver a little bit."
"That is?"
"You are dating Dorothy McShane, and she was once close to the Doctor."
"Indeed you were."
"I will probably get closer to you than I was ever to him."
"I hope so too." The Doctor notices Graham on the phone and smiling while talking to whoever he is talking to. "I better go, the Doc is looking at me and just got done talking to Ryan."
"Talk to you later Graham."
"Bye Ace."
"Bye Graham."
"She is having you call her Ace now?"
"As of today."
"Treat her well, she has been hurt enough, especially by me. I don't want to see her hurt again. Ace has always had a big heart, one of the biggest."
"I will try my best."
"Good, we will be there soon."
"Ok." They exit the TARDIS and see the streets of Japan and meet up with a human Dalek. Team TARDIS starts the fight with Robertson backstabbing them. Jack can tell that Yaz has feelings for the Doctor and tells her that she doesn't really get a choice of how her story with the Doctor ends.
After everyone is back on the TARDIS, "has Ace told you how to create Nitro-90?"
"She hasn't Doc."
"You should tell her that you have blown up Cybermen and a fleet of Dalek's."
"Are you playing matchmaker Doc?"
"You already know how bad I feel for how I treated her when she traveled with me. She is brilliant and so are you. The two of you would be even more brilliant together. Now I am going to drop everyone off."
A few hours later, "so we're done with the TARDIS."
"We are, I get more time with you."
"You also get more time with Ace."
Graham has a smile growing on his face, "that is just a bonus. I will get me Grandson and get to know someone that is Ace."
"You know she is going to be surprised that you have left the Doc."
"I don't think so."
"Why."
"Look," Graham gestures to a figure approaching them.
"You two decided to leave I guess."
"How?"
"I got a message from the Doctor telling me I should pick the two of you up."
"I want to be with my friends and get to know my dad."
"Graham?"
"I have a few reasons, the TARDIS would feel empty without Ryan, and I guess I want to spend more time with you."
Ace walks closer to him, "I also want to get to know you more."
"Yuck."
Ace and Graham turn to Ryan who has a smile on his face, "are we disgusting Ryan?"
"Just yanking your chain Dorothy."
"Good." The three walk on to her car, Ryan sits in the back while Graham sits next to Ace.
"You know seeing the Professor in nearly the same year and entering a relationship with someone who knew them makes me want to go by Ace by those who know me and the Doctor."
"Is that good?"
"It's wicked, though I think in my professional life I will still be Dorothy you know. Less likely for some of my teenage years."
"Reckless huh?"
"I hear we both had some experience with the police in our youth."
"My god you two please stop flirting, I am here in the back."
"Sorry Ryan."
"You know what, tonight you two do something, I will meet up with my friends."
"No, you two should spend time together."
"We have the rest of the day, and you two have the night."
"Drop you two off at your place."
"Yes, please. Ace." She continues driving until she pulls up. Ryan and Graham get out of the car. "See you tonight, Ace."
"Yes you will,'' they shared a smile. Dorothy arrives at her office.
"You are here late for a Monday," Will asks.
"I had to drop a few friends off at their house."
"From that smile I assume it was Graham."
"And Ryan, his grandson."
"So I take it there is no room for me?"
"Will, you are a good friend, you deserve someone who can love you and be totally honest with you. Why don't you call her."
"Who?"
"Sam."
"She wouldn't want to hear from me."
"I highly doubt that, from what little I saw of her, she was in love with you."
"I don't know."
"Call her, you deserve to be loved by someone who can be 100% honest with you. I could never be as there are some parts of my past that I can only be with those who understand time travel."
"I'll think about it."
"Good, you make a good COO to my CEO."
"Thank you," Will leaves the office.
Meanwhile while teaching Ryan how to ride a bike they both see Grace and talk about how they want to use their psychic paper from time to time. "You think your Nan would be happy about me seeing someone?"
"She would be. Nan would want you to be happy."
"I know."
"Are you sure you are ready to be seeing someone?"
"I wasn't until Ace and I admitted that we do like each other, she even said she would love to hear about Grace."
"That's good."
"I know." Ryan's phone goes off alerting him that his friends are off work and ready to hang out.
