The TARDIS lurched to the side as the Doctors both stood up staring at each other.
"This has not happened before." She stared at her twin'. "This cannot be happening. Can it?"
"I dunno." He replied. "These teeth are familiar. I. It is happening and I."
"But why?" She looked over to the TARDIS. "Why now? What happened?"
"I regenerated. I did this once. Got all young and tall."
"Met Amy. I know." She answered. "We are the same person. We have the same memories. The Master is behind this. He had to be."
"No, he died. He. Didn't he? In my arms?"
"Oh a lot has happened since then. An awful lot."
Ten nodded, unsure what he was doing back. He hadn't wanted to regenerate but he had. A long time ago. Eons ago. He paused. Thirteenth sighed
"Neither of us wanted to go. Neither of us were ready."
"Doesn't work like that." Ten closed his eyes. "Is that a phone ringing? You have a phone in here?"
"Course." She grabbed it. "Kate!! Hi!! Er dunno. Long story." She paused. "Bit busy right now." She hit herself in the forehead. "Sontaran? On my way. Er our way. Like I said. Bit of a story. Still working on the details." She hung up. "London. 21st century sound good?" She pulled the lever as Ten smiled.
"ALLONSEY!"

"Ace!" Graham turned as the door opened. "You ok?"
"I'm too old for all this!" A rather angry Ian wandered into the room behind her. "A man my age should be in my dotage! Retired!"
"The Queen worked into get ninety's." Ace smiled at the older man.
"Yeah - 'aving you 'ere makes me feel young." Graham teased as the older man sat down.
"I am 97 years old. 97!"
"A spring chicken compared to the Doctor." Yaz smiled. Ian tapped her shoulder.
"You miss them."
"Yeah." Yaz smiled slightly at the old man.
"So do I. That never changes. Not really. My Doctor, the one I met with Barbara. Old and cantankerous. Very kind but did not suffer fools."
"Some things never change." Yaz smiled as Kate and Mel appeared.
"Where's the fire?" Graham looked up.
"Here. Any moment now. The Sontaran Fleet have started attacking the planet."
"Again?" Ian sighed as Ace swore under her breath.
"What do we do?"
"I got hold of the Doctor. They've regenerated but they are on their way to us."
"Good. Right then." Yaz smiled slightly as the familiar sound of the TARDIS filled the air. She blinked as it materialised in front of her. The door opened just as Ace pulled Ian out of the way.
"Doctor?" Yaz spoke calmly.
"Ello." A thin man with brown hair practically fell out of the door - followed by the smaller blonde woman she and Graham recognised.
"What? Oos e?" Graham asked as Thirteen ran her hand through her hair.
"Me." She paused, "Long story. Don't ask."
