Sorry! I know, I know. It's been so long but obligations to other ideas and personal stuff, you know. But it's here now and a special, special, special thank you to Ben2Dartmouth for a lot of his ideas and input. I'm always appreciative and grateful for whatever he tells me.

Fifth Doctor: Earth-4113

It had been five weeks since Luca and Giulia had gone to school in Genoa, Italy. And little did they know, they'd be thrust into a new adventure but with of all things, aliens.

The Doctor and Nyssa had gone undercover as substitute science teachers, where they found out Luca's identity as a sea monster. To which the Doctor confused him for a Silurian or a Sea Devil at first and then cleared up a misunderstanding with a protective Giulia who attempted to fight off the Time Lord and his companion with a mop before the Doctor managed to calm down the girl.

But the four had a common task as they were investigating a mysterious wailing sound throughout the school. Many of the students assumed it was a ghost. Giulia had her doubts but then remembered her best friends were sea monsters.

Finally, they delved down underneath the school and into the basement. What they found shocked them.

A scaly, female reptilian-like monster was sobbing in a ragged brown cloak in a corner. The four were unsure if they should ask. Especially as one in particular, were waiting to speak up first; particularly The Doctor himself.

"Do we ask?" Nyssa asked the Time Lord.

"Yeah, should we?" Luca concurred whilst displaying empathy to the creature crying. "She sounds very sad."

The Doctor then approached the sobbing creature, undeterred.

As the Time Lord knelt down to her level, he finally spoke softly but with a friendly, "Hello?"

The creature stopped sobbing as she eyed the stranger before her.

"Are you a Silurian?" The Doctor asked.

"A what?" Asked the creature in an Italian accent as she used her arm to wipe her nose.

"A Sea Devil?" He then asked.

"Oh, not you too with the devil name!" The creature cried and sobbed again.

"No, no, no! l'm sorry!" The Doctor rapidly apologized to the creature as he realized his mistake. "Forgive me, that's the name of a similar race related to the Silurians."

"That just now happens to have an unfortunate connotation in your case." He added whilst still apologizing.

"Thank you." The creature sniffled.

"What's your name at least?" The Doctor asked.

"My name is Mary." The creature said. "But humans here gave me the name of Marabbecca."

"Marabbecca." The Doctor repeated in familiarity.

"What's that?" Luca asked.

"Yes, Doctor." Nyssa concurred. "What is the Marabbecca?""It's an Italian myth about a creature who lives in the wells to scare off children, similar to the Borda." The Doctor answered Nyssa. "Usually it's said to be invented by parents in Sicily to scare children into being good."

"Oh I know the Marabbecca!" Giulia exclaimed in familiarity. "My mom used to tell me spooky stories about her!"

"Oh of course humans invented a story to make me look bad!" Mary, the Marabbecca, groaned as she cried more tears. "You try to remain hidden from the world and protect your children and they think you're a monster!"

"Humans tend to rationalize what they don't understand with stories or scapegoat all their problems for better or for worse." The Doctor said.

"That's basically ninety percent of cryptid stories." He added. "Save for perhaps the Loch Ness Monster but that was a different matter altogether no thanks to the Zygons."

Nyssa stared at the Doctor in confusion while Luca and Giulia gave the Time Lord a bewildered expression. As did Mary.

"That's not the story I heard." Mary said.

"You met the Loch Ness Monster?" Giulia inquired.

"And what's a Zygon?" Asked Luca.

"As I said, different matter and a different variant of the Loch Ness Monster." The Doctor hastily said to Giulia and Luca before turning back to Mary. "Don't feel so bad however. You're not exactly alone."

"How?" Mary inquired.

"Luca, would you mind?" The Doctor asked the boy as he took out a water bottle from underneath his jacket.

Luca complied as he stepped forward next to the Time Lord.

Suddenly, to the astonishment of Mary; The Doctor poured water from a plastic bottle on Luca and instantly, he transformed from appearing human to a scaly, blue greenish anthropomorphic sea monster, complete with a tail and webbed hands and feet.

"See?" Luca exclaimed with a friendly smile. "I'm like you!"

"Oh my goodness!" Mary gasped in amazement with her hands clasped over her mouth. "I can't say we're of the exact same species though."

"Are you from Monstropolis?" She then asked Luca.

"No?" He answered in confusion as Giulia and Nyssa also shared looks of confusion. "I can't say I have."

"Neither have I admittedly." The Doctor provided his two cents.

"It's where monsters come from." Mary began to explain. "Including myself. A lot of times we come to the human world to scare kids, it's practically our job. It's even where Nessie came from, she exiled herself to the human world."

"One day I decided to take a vacation and brought along my children and considering we entered through the well, it was like our little motel basically." She then added.

"Where are your children exactly?" The Doctor asked.

"I don't know!" Mary replied as she resumed her crying. "I was living in the well not long after I left Monstropolis and I was searching for food but then the well was gone! It…it used to be near this school!"

Mary once again sobbed loudly. Nyssa, Luca and Giulia looked on in concern but also in fear should anyone else hear her loud sobbing.

"Now, now, now, don't cry!" The Doctor said in sympathy as he attempted to calm down the creature. "For both reasons of please don't feel sad and let's not have anyone else come barging in should it be the police."

In response, he was at first going to give them a handkerchief but realized perhaps a towel might be better in place of it.

As he did, Mary took the towel and blew her nose before using the untouched corners to wipe away her tears.

"Sorry." Mary apologized as she offered the now mucous covered towel back to the Time Lord.

"No need, thank you." The Doctor politely declined.

"Santa Mozzarella, this makes all sense now!" Giulia exclaimed.

"Very interesting that that's your choice of exclamation." Said The Doctor, intrigued by her choice of words.

"How so?" Giulia inquired.

"Because I knew an Ice Warrior who exiled himself to Earth and he chose those two exact words as his name." The Time Lord explained.

"Why Santa Mozzarella?"

"Because they were the first two words he read in a dictionary."

There was a moment of silence for Giulia to allow such an explanation to sink in.

"You meet some very interesting people, Doctor." Giulia said simply.

"Now, perhaps we can help you find your children." The Doctor said to Mary.

"But how?" Mary asked as she threw the soggy towel aside.

"Well, let's retrace our steps." The Doctor proposed before asking, "Do you remember if your children were still inside the well?"

"Yes." Mary nodded.

"Tell me, can you climb walls?" He then asked.

"Yes." Mary responded as she showed her slimy hands which were suckers similar to an octopus.

"Similar to ones belonging to an octopus I see." The Doctor remarked in astonishment. "Then I see no reason your children could not still be hiding in the well."

"Well I always tell them to stick to the wall." Mary said. "It's to camouflage with the rocks so nobody would notice."

"But where are they?!" Mary then almost cried out.

"Doctor, didn't the Headmaster say they moved an old well twenty miles away from this school?" Nyssa said. "It used to be on school property after all."

The Doctor suddenly had a look of realization on his face.

"Yes, I believe you're right!" The Doctor exclaimed as he snapped his fingers.

"Come to think of it, I remember hearing about some old well that used to be outside but they moved it near a river." Giulia said.

"I thought it was at the top of the hill." Luca said.

"You know where my children are?!" Mary said in a hopeful tone with tears of joy this time in her eyes.

"Only one way to find out." The Doctor said as he beckoned the group to join him. "Come along!"

Five minutes later…

The TARDIS materialized directly on the forest hills of Genoa, Italy. Exactly twenty miles away from the school. The Doctor and the rest of the group ran out of the TARDIS in search of the well.

In the case of Luca and Giula however, they walked away from the TARDIS stunned.

"It's bigger…" Luca said.

"On the inside…" Giulia finished, sharing the same thought.

"You'd be amazed with me, the well can feel very spacious." Mary said.

She then asked The Doctor anxiously, "Doctor, is the well here?"

"Should be." The Doctor replied as he looked back and forth. "By all accounts it should be in this very location."

"Wait, do you have some sort of call your children can recognize?" The Time Lord then asked Mary.

"I'll try." Mary said.

The creature then emitted a loud hissing noise that sounded like a cross between a rattle, a horn and a cat meowing. Nyssa was taken aback by the sound only due to how unexpected it was.

Luca and Giulia were more weirded out on the other hand.

After a solid minute of Mary calling her children, there was a moment of silence. The group intensely awaited for any sign.

Finally, they heard a set of similar calls from a distance despite the sound being muted.

Mary gasped as she recognized the sounds of her children to the point of tears forming on her face once again.

"If my calculations are correct, your children should be down that way." The Doctor said as he pointed south down the hill.

"Then let's go!" Luca said as he ran down the path of where the well was with The Doctor, Nyssa, Giulia and Mary following behind.

Finally after a moment of running, the group finally found the missing well.

The Doctor and Mary approached the well first and peered down. The well on the inside appeared empty.

"What are your children's names?" The Doctor asked Mary.

"Sally! Hawkins!" Mary shouted.

Immediately, eyes appeared on both sides on the inside of the well. Followed by their skin color changing to their mother's, now looking similar to her.

"Mom!" They shouted in relief.

The two younger creatures, brother and sister, finally climbed out of the well and all three immediately embraced in a tearful hug between parent and children.

The Doctor sighed in relief. Touched by the sight of the reunion. As were Nyssa, Luca and Giulia. The latter two smiled at each other, knowing too well they relate if not resonate with Mary and her children given their own parents were concerned for their well being back in Portorosso.

Mary then glanced at the Doctor and walked right up to him.

"Thank you, Doctor." Mary thanked the Time Lord before kissing him on the cheek.

The Doctor touched his cheek, giving a small chuckle as he felt flattered and flustered by the kiss.

"Well," The Doctor said, flustered. "You're very welcome! I always help others in need."

"So what will you do now?" Asked Luca.

"I think I'm gonna go back to Monstropolis." Replied Mary. "I know not all humans are bad but this is all just too risky for me and my children."

"Understandable." The Doctor agreed with no argument as the rest of the group murmured in agreement with "That's fair" from Giulia.

"We hope you'll be safe!" Giulia then said.

"Thank you!" Mary waved goodbye to her allies as did her children.

"Farewell, Mary!" The Doctor waved goodbye as did Nyssa, Luca and Giulia.

With that, Mary and her children dived back into the well.

"Well, that ended well." The Doctor said, satisfied with the outcome. "I don't know if it's the satisfaction of helping another or the scenery but I feel relaxed."

"It is a rather nice day outside." Nyssa outside, remarking on the scenery of the Genoa hills.

"In that case, why don't we give you the tour!" Giulia said as she grinned, eager to give both The Doctor and Nyssa a tour of Italy with Luca joining her.

"I don't think you two know how fantastic Genoa is!" Giulia added.

"Maybe we can even take you both to Portorosso!" Luca chimed in excitedly.

"It wouldn't hurt." Nyssa insisted to the Doctor, intrigued by learning the culture and customs of Italy.

"Well," The Doctor chuckled as he relented. "Why not?"

"But first, it is a school day after all." The Doctor added. "You both do have my science class next and we're about to be five minutes late."

With that, the four laughed as they walked back to the TARDIS.

"Can we talk about the fact though there's a world full of monsters though?" Giulia asked, still in disbelief over the mention of Monstropolis. "Does that mean that one kid who kept seeing a blue furry monster in the closet is real?"

"Yeah, I want to know about that too!" Luca said in agreement.

Sixth Doctor: Earth-192G

Around the desert was a large castle with a few golf courses.

Suddenly however, explosions began to occur as the exterior of the castle began to fall apart and the golf courses exploded-returning to the desert landscape immediately as if they were never there to begin with.

Bursting through the doors however, were two familiar people, except dressed in viking costumes and each holding two suitcases close to their chests respectively, riding on a golf cart.

"Whoo-Yoo!!!" Luz Nocenda of Earth-060322 shouted in excitement.

The Sixth Doctor screamed as he drove the golf cart whilst avoiding the fiery explosion behind them.

The duo could feel the shockwave of the explosion whilst also literally felt the burn from behind as the castle exploded into oblivion in a huge explosion that Luz could compare to the explosion of the Death Star from Star Wars as in the aftermath, there was nothing more than piles of ash and debris.

"Dare! Dare to believe you can survive!" Luz sang as The Doctor swerved in multiple turns to avoid the exploding golf courses.

"Thankfully we have!" The Doctor cried out.

"I can't believe it, Doc!" Luz exclaimed. "We took down a rich jerk and his cronies and stole all his money!"

"Technically half considering the rest got destroyed in the explosion!" The Doctor pointed out.

"It counts for something though!" Luz said.

At the ashes of the castle, only four people remain except their clothes destroyed, covered in ash and a couple of bruised injuries on their bodies and black eyes. Their black eyes even had swollen black eyes of their own.

A man with a large head as his body once had a full head of hair but was now reduced to ash thanks to the explosion with his clothes torn-leaving him as a charbroiled mess. He wailed and cried like a baby as he grasped the ash of what was once his money.

The Mayor of Elmore was no longer rich and lost all his power. All thanks to a Time Lord and a teenage girl who was an apprentice to the current Sorcerer Supreme.

"My money!" The Mayor of Elmore sobbed. "My hair! My face! I lost everything! I lost my beautiful money!"

"I'll never be mayor again!!!" He added as he screamed and sobbed further.

Next to him were his partners from the Black Hat Organization; Black Hat, Dr. "Flug" and Demencia. All of whom appeared horribly injured, complete with Flug and Demencia missing their pants thanks to the explosion and exposed their comically red polka dotted boxers as a result. Black Hat struggled to keep his pants on as he and his partners were dizzy after the explosion battle damaged them to comical degrees to the point of their other minion 5.0.5. was knocked unconscious and yet appeared unharmed.

"You'll pay for this Doctor…" Black Hat screamed as he shook his fist before trailing off as he began to struggle to think. "Doctor…"

"Does he even have a last name?" Black Hat then asked Flug and Demencia.

Finally, the two gave in as they fainted and fell on their backs with Black Hat immediately following suit as his pants finally fell down-also revealing he wore comically red polka dotted boxers along with his monocle literally popping.

"I hate that Time Lord!" Black Hat shouted weakly.

Away from the castle, The Doctor and Luz continued to drive the golf cart through the desert.

"In any case, their own greed destroyed them as it should." The Doctor said as he pulled over the golf cart on the side of the road.

"So what are you gonna do with your share?" Luz asked The Doctor.

"Oh I have no need for money." The Doctor replied simply, almost laughing. "I, for one, don't need to pay rent!"

"But of what of you then?" He asked Luz.

"Oh I'm definitely going to use the money to help out my mom." Luz responded. "Help pay the bills and other things."

"That's very noble!" The Doctor remarked positively much to the surprise of Luz. "And I mean it."

"Can we take off the viking costumes now though?" Asked Luz as she tugged the collar of her viking costume. "It's getting sweaty, not helped by the heat."

"And I don't think the cloak of levitation likes being cramped inside." She then added.

Before The Doctor could reply, the two heard shouting from the right and turned to see an anthropomorphic blue cat in a white shirt and gray skirt shouting in frustration.

"Richard, how can you forget to bring a spare tire?!" She shouted at her husband, an overweight pink rabbit.

The duo eyed on the husband and wife after accepting it when they had quizzical expressions at first, they even noticed three children, another blue cat, a pink bunny and a goldfish inside a family station wagon.

The Time Lord now had a sympathetic look on his face.

"Perhaps I do know what to do with my share after all." The Doctor said as he stepped off from the golf cart, bringing along the suitcase and began to remove his viking costume.

As he did, he was now down to his actual trademark outfit; a multi-colored coat with an orange vest and orange and green shoes.

"Excuse me!" The Doctor called out the blue cat woman.

The Doctor placed his hand on the station wagon. But soon he noticed he was still wearing the viking helmet, to which he promptly removed from his head and tossed aside.

"Can I help you…?" The blue cat woman began to ask.

"I'm The Doctor." The Time Lord introduced himself. "And I see you seem to be having car trouble, miss…"

"Um, Watterson." The blue cat woman introduced herself awkwardly, unsure if she should trust this stranger or not. "Nicole Watterson."

"Dude, what's with the coat?" A blue cat boy asked upon seeing The Doctor's coat.

For a moment, The Doctor glared at the blue boy cat before facing Nicole.

"Barring that remark, I've come to help you with your problem." The Doctor said. "For in this suitcase is five thousand dollars in cash."

"Excuse me, what?" Nicole asked, shocked as her husband and three children looked on with interest.

The Doctor opened the suitcase to demonstrate he was not lying. Nicole's jaws literally dropped to the ground as did her husband and three children.

"I see you're shocked by my moment of charity." The Doctor smirked. "My point is, you clearly need this money more than me!"

"That's…that's…" Nicole stammered in shock.

"As I said, five thousand dollars." The Doctor repeated. "You lot look like you need it more than me."

"I…I don't know what to say!" Nicole said, feeling speechless.

"Thank you!" She then said with gratitude.

"Think nothing of it." The Doctor said, feeling satisfied. "There's a gas station that's ten feet away. Shouldn't be much of a walk."

"Good day, madame!" He then added as he walked away.

"Wow, tourists sure are friendly!" The talking goldfish in green sneakers said.

As The Doctor returned to the golf cart, he turned to see that not only has Luz discarded her viking costume already-back to her usual outfit of her blue and white hoodie, gray shorts and black pants and white shoes along with the cloak of levitation and Eye of Agamotto, he noticed Luz had a coyly smile on her face.

"What?" The Doctor asked, perplexed.

"You big softy!" Luz grinned as she gave the Doctor a soft punch on his arm.

"What do you mean?" The Doctor asked as he failed to understand her remark.

"All your talk being so tough, so loud, so condescending, you're a big softy at heart." Luz said. "I knew it! You do care about people!"

"It's just a simple gesture." The Doctor denied. "I have no use for money!"

"Suuuurrrre." Luz exaggerated the word whilst still giving the all knowing smile.

"Don't rub it in, young lady!" The Doctor said irritable, blushing a bit in embarrassment.

"Now, let us be on our way back to the TARDIS." He then said. "Thankfully, it is at that same gas station I pointed that cross bred family to."

As The Doctor turned on the ignition.

Nothing.

After a moment of confusion, The Doctor turned on the ignition again. And still nothing.

"Huh…" Was all The Doctor could muster after the first two tries as Luz looked on in confusion.

The Doctor looked at Luz and both of them shared an expression of realization.

"Perhaps we should walk back instead." The Doctor said after a moment of silence.

"Yeah!" Luz agreed.

"It would do us better to exercise anyway." The Doctor said as he and Luz departed the golf cart.

"Agreed!" Luz concurred.

"So what's next, Doc?" She then asked.

"Well, I suppose Blackpool could be fun for us." The Doctor said as he and Luz joined the Watterson family on their way to the gas station.

Seventh Doctor: Earth-95859

"Doc, I'm open to ideas now!" Melody shouted as she narrowly avoided the creature, which to her resembled a cross between a bug, a dinosaur and a squid, known as a Kackenkopf, threw a store mannequin at her. Before he even transformed, he looked human; a Caucasian blonde man in normal unassuming clothes.

It had been an eventful 72 hours ever since there had been cases of vandalism all across Bailey City. Even their school was targeted. More specifically, a diner, a park, a skating rink and a night club.

Liza, Eddie, Howie and Melody found themselves investigating who or what was responsible for vandalism all while nearly being mauled by a mysterious creature. That was, until they met a strange man with a hat, gray and brown clothing who carried an umbrella shaped like a question mark who called himself The Doctor and his companion, a teenage girl in a leather jacket named Ace.

The kids were puzzled by their presence and yet, agreed to let them in on their investigation as apparently, both of them were searching for the same perpetrator too and actually have met the creature causing trouble.

Eventually, the group learned the name of the creature causing havoc; it was a Kackenkopf.

But why was the question on everyone's lips. But the curious thing Melody and Liza noticed about The Doctor, was his face. Getting the impression he was always having something on his mind. Along with the fact that he disappeared a couple of times without even saying where he was going.

Liza also could not help but wonder if The Doctor knew something about her as he dropped vague remarks about the Brothers Grimm in relation to her.

But finally, they encountered the Kackenkopf in the act when destroying the inside of a shopping mall.

"Right on time." Melody heard The Doctor mutter.

She wondered what he meant by that.

Melody even noticed Ace took out her baseball bat and got in front of her, Liza, Howie and Eddie.

"Get behind me!" Ace said to the children.

"You think you can take me on, little girl?!" The Kackenkopf known as Bob shouted arrogantly.

As if in response, Bob got whacked across his cheek by Ace as she hit him with the aluminum baseball bat.

Ace smirked as he stumbled and wiped off blood from his lips.

"You, bitch!" He snarled.

"Want to go for round two?!" Ace exclaimed.

"Let's not upset the bloodthirsty monster!" Eddie said, a bit intimidated.

"Refrain from insulting my companion!" The Doctor angrily said to the Kackenkopf.

"What are you gonna do about it, tough guy?" Bob said as he stood in front of the Doctor and pressed his two fingers, poking him on his chest in an effort to push him around.

Suddenly, Bob felt a sharp pain behind his head; once again hit by someone.

He turned around to see Eddie, welding a now broken 24 piece of wood.

"Oh you're gonna get it now, little man!" Bob roared.

"Leave him alone!" Liza shouted as she knocked him across his face with a discarded hockey stick.

"And if you're threatening her…" Said Melody as she whacked Bob on the back of his head with her own baseball bat.

"You're gonna have to go through me!" She finished.

Finally, Howie got his turn hitting Bob when he hit in the crotch area with his foot. Bob screamed in pain as he felt the overwhelming uncomfortable feeling in his body.

Howie stepped back as Liza, Melody and Eddie joined him, ready to fight back further with Ace joining them as she stood in front of them protectively.

"If you wanna have a go at them, you'll have to kill me first!" Ace said in a defiant manner as she held her baseball bat.

"Oh come on!" Bob said, utterly baffled by the display of teamwork.

"Halt!" Cried The Doctor as he joined Ace and the children.

"If you harm these children, I'll be sure to expose your actions to the human race!" The Doctor warned the Kackenkopf as he glared at the monster.

"What can you do?!" Laughed Bob in disbelief. "You don't have cameras! What are you gonna do, tough guy?!"

"Oh come now." The Doctor said, scoffing at the remark. "It's obvious by all this destruction, you clearly want people to notice."

Bob cackled in response.

"You think I did all this for a bunch of jerks?!" Screamed Bob. "I only did this so I can get back at that bitch!"

Ace, Melody, Liza, Howie and Eddie glared daggers at Bob in response.

"She dumps me?!" Bob began to rant. "I'm the Alpha Male, I deserve a lot more respect than what she gave me!!"

"I give her everything and that's the thanks I get?!" He continued to rant. "I'll show what happens when she dumps me because when the cops see this, they'll find her thanks to me!"

"What do you think of that, little man?" Bob asked The Doctor as he poked him again. "Huh?! Huh?!"

The rest of the group looked at The Doctor, whose stern expression had not changed despite Bob screaming in his face.

Finally, after a tense ten seconds, The Doctor spoke.

"I suggest not turning around." He said grimly.

The Kackenkopf scoffed. He thought it was some dumb trick but he wanted to amuse himself. Instead however, as soon as he turned around, he froze.

He saw the face where he felt his life was now over; his ex-girlfriend Gina, a Korean-American woman who in actuality was a Drang-Zorn. Joined by three other women of the same species albeit older than her. One was an older woman who was also Korean-American with the two other women being of African American descent and a redhead Caucasian.

All three were wearing fedora hats and dark business suits; giving Ace, Melody, Liza, Howie and Eddie the impression they were part of a mafia.

"Gina!" Bob shouted nervously. "I can explain!"

"You seriously did all this to get back at me?!" Gina screamed.

"I mean, I-"

"I had to find out from him of all people?!" Gina exclaimed as she pointed at The Doctor.

Bob whirled around to The Doctor in anger as the Time Lord expressed a stern look at him.

"You set me up!" Bob angrily shouted.

"I'm fortunate he did." The older woman besides Gina spoke up. "My daughter I hold dear to me and I knew you were scum the moment I met you."

She hissed the last few words.

Suddenly, Bob began to sweat. He was speechless for the first time. He knew Gina's mother well enough to go through whatever threat she made.

"Please, I'm sorry-" Bob tried to weasel out of his situation with his weak apology.

"No excuses!" Gina's mother shouted, enough to even intimidate The Doctor and his group.

"You've messed with my daughter for the last time." She then said to Bob as she snapped her fingers-motioning the two other women to menacingly approach him.

"No wait, we can talk about this!" Bob stammered as he tried to run but Gina grabbed his arm as she began to transform into a canine like creature. As did the rest of the women.

"Your time is up…" Gina's mother said.

"No please!" Bob began to beg as the two women, also transformed, grabbed him by his arms.

Despite Bob's attempts to escape, the two women began to drag him to the nearest coffee shop as they gave off sinister smiles as he screamed for help.

"I wanna watch." Gina demanded to her mother.

"You do that, I'll join you in a moment." Her mother responded.

Instantly, she raced over to the coffee shop. Gina's mother turned to The Doctor with a neutral expression on her face despite the Time Lord sensing disdain.

"I thank you Doctor for informing me of his deceitful actions." Gina's mother thanked the Time Lord with reluctance in her tone.

"This does not mean however we are at peace with each other." She added. "I do not trust you or humanity."

"I expect you don't." The Doctor simply said.

"Just leave before I decide to attack you." She said irritably as she left to join her daughter.

"Come along, best not to stick around." The Doctor suggested to the group as he began to walk away.

"What do you think they're gonna do to him?" Asked Melody.

Before the Time Lord could answer, the group froze in their tracks after they jumped as they heard the sound of Bob screaming, followed by the sound of a crunch.

"I'll tell you when we leave the premises." The Doctor hastily said.

"Good idea!" Ace quickly said with the others murmuring in agreement.

With that, the group ran away from the mall as fast as they could.

Five minutes later, the group reconvened at the park that was vandalized earlier as they sat around a picnic table where the TARDIS was parked earlier.

"You knew that tribe?" Eddie asked The Doctor.

"They operate more like a mafia if anything." The Doctor replied. "I first knew them years ago when their daughter was born and I led them to another area when hunters began converging on them, an easy way to get them to spare my life and Evelyn."

"Of course it took some convincing that it was me." He then added. "But otherwise, I had my suspicions that something was going on given my experience with such creatures."

"So why don't they like you?" Asked Ace.

"Just on principle I'm afraid." The Doctor replied. "They hate everyone."

"So it doesn't matter what you do then?" Melody asked.

"They're simply misanthropic." The Doctor simply replied. "They hate people and I'm the first Time Lord they ever hated."

"Professor, that thing was called a Kackenkopf." Ace said to the Doctor. "Is that German for something?"

The Doctor looked at the children nervously as if he knew the answer was vulgar enough.

"Not in front of the children, Ace." The Doctor replied. "I'll tell you later."

"How is it that you meet a lot of people but also make enemies?" Howie asked.

"Comes with the territory of being a traveler." The Doctor shrugged.

"Believe me, the Professor and I have been on some weird journeys." Ace said.

"A bit understating it but yes." The Doctor agreed. "This was rather tame in comparison however."

"Do you always set up your enemies like that?" Eddie asked.

"More than you know." Ace remarked. "You should have seen him trick the Cybermen and the Daleks."

"The who and the what?" Melody asked in confusion.

"Long story." The Doctor replied. "But perhaps we can help clean up this park at least?"

"It's the least we can do after all this madness." He added as he stood up.

As the others began to get to work cleaning up the park a bit, Liza approached the Doctor.

"Hey Doc," She asked the Time Lord.

"Yes, Liza?" He replied.

"I'm just curious," She began. "What do you know about my…heritage?"

The Doctor stared at her in a mysterious yet quizzical manner.

"Let's just say I knew your ancestors well." The Doctor said. "Very helpful chaps."

Liza looked at him with astonishment. Somehow he knew.

"What do you mean?" Asked Liza.

In response, The Doctor made a shushing gesture in a playful manner. It indicated it was all he could tell.

Eighth Doctor: Downtown Hyosan, South Korea - Earth-012822

"Steve…" Captain Carter breathed heavily as she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

He looked at her clutching her pregnant belly and the water dripping underneath. Instantly, he knew what that meant.

"Oh crap." Steve said. Normally he would not approve of such language but a moment of stress made him forget that golden rule.

It was supposed to have been a simple trip to Hyosan in South Korea. Even going Downtown for a simple day of tourism. But something happened.

To their horror, zombies began to overrun the city. Captain Carter and Steve bravely fought them off, narrowly avoided getting bitten and infected but it was clear they were about to be outnumbered. Not helped by the sharp pains Captain Carter had been feeling throughout the day.

The Doctor managed to at least fend them off with a sound device attached to a remote control toy car he managed to acquire from the TARDIS he happened to have lying around, that repeated a recorded sentence on a loop to drive their attention away.

He said "Sydney Briar is alive" and managed to grab the attention of the undead and ran off in pursuit.

Peggy and Steve recalled after asking The Doctor why that specific phrase, he answered that he once heard the phrase uttered in an incident in Pontypool but warned it won't keep them distracted for long.

"Stay in that convenient store. It'll have to suffice for cover for the time being." Captain Carter recalled The Doctor saying. "I'll return with the TARDIS."

Peggy and Steve agreed with no argument. And The Doctor ran off to return to the TARDIS.

It had been an hour since then. The couple were concerned if The Doctor did not return to the TARDIS after all.

In actuality, The Doctor had been doing his best hiding from the zombies at every chance he got. He hid behind every corner, underneath every car or even ducking behind street food stands. He had underestimated how far he parked the TARDIS.

As he continued to hide, he figured there were zombies who did not hear his distraction. Or at the very least, more were just coming into downtown from somewhere nearby.

But the Time Lord realized he was not too far off now as he saw the TARDIS three miles away from his hiding spot; being a small market place. He peered carefully through the door as he noticed something peculiar about the zombies.

He noticed drones flying around the zombies emitting a peculiar sound. It sounded like ringing and it had managed to get the zombies to follow the drones.

Sensing it may be safe to go outside given the attention of the zombies were elsewhere, he may as well sprint to the TARDIS. But not without slowly stepping out first-careful not to cause attention to himself.

As he tiptoed his way back to the TARDIS, he spotted something from afar. He squinted as he was unsure if what he was seeing was correct.

His eyes then widened in horror. He knew exactly what he was seeing and where it was heading.

Wasting no time, he sprinted toward the TARDIS and managed to get inside in the nick of time.

After the TARDIS dematerialized, a missile flew by.

Meanwhile back at the convenience store, Peggy and Steve barricaded the door with what they could find to do so despite the former having now gone into labor. A few of the zombies had managed to reconvene at the convenience store and were now attempting to barge in.

"I don't exactly blame the Doctor taking this long given what's outside!" Captain Carter said as she gritted her teeth, trying to resist the pain.

"Peggy, you got to lay down." Steve said, concerned for her well being.

"We've got to keep fighting…" Peggy said, out of breath.

"I know but I don't want to lose you!" Steve said.

Peggy laid down near one of the shelves, she felt she was about to give in to giving birth right there and now.

"I don't think we have any choice!" Peggy exclaimed as she breathed heavily.

"I think you may be right." Steve agreed as he saw Peggy spread her legs-preparing to give birth to her baby.

"Just breathe, Peggy." Steve then said, best he could to deal with the birthing process as she breathed.

"Yes… this is it!" Peggy grunted as she felt another bit of pain as she breathed.

Despite the two completely unprepared for childbirth, they not only at least understood the basics but managed to pull off the birthing process despite the stress of zombies outside threatening to barge in.

Peggy screamed as she made several pushes for the baby to come out. She screamed on each push with Steve coaching her throughout.

"Peggy, I see the head!" Steve screamed.

With that, Peggy was more determined to push the baby out of her. With one more push, she screamed loudly until finally, she heard crying.

Peggy and Steve were relieved finally and for a moment despite their situation, overjoyed at the birth of their own child. Steve, crying with tears of joy, wrapped the baby around a towel he found and after staring at the child for a moment he passed the baby onto Peggy, who also cried tears of joy. She held the baby in her arms and looked at the baby with fondness. So many feelings overwhelmed her and Steve.

Feelings that were immediately interrupted by zombies banging on the barricaded glass doors. Startled, they grew concerned if the barricade would hold for much longer.

"We may need a plan!" Peggy said.

"Doc, where are you?" Steve asked aloud nervously.

"What's that sound?" Peggy asked curiously and in concern.

Steve tried to zero in on the sound that sounded like whistling. But then suddenly, the two heard a familiar sound that overrode the whistling sound.

To the relief of Peggy and Steve, the TARDIS materialized in front of them.

"Someone call for a Doctor?" The Time Lord quipped as he stepped out. He then let out a startled yell as he immediately saw Peggy had given birth already.

"I take it there's a long story about this?" The Doctor asked, still in shock.

"Cutting it close there!" Steve responded as Peggy wrapped her arm around his shoulder.

"There was traffic." The Doctor responded but his tone of voice soon turned urgent. "There isn't much time though. We have to hurry!"

Peggy and Steve were not hesitant to rush into the TARDIS with the baby in Peggy's arms and the shield as well.

As the TARDIS doors closed, it dematerialized out of the convenience store. Just as a missile flew straight into the heart of Downtown Hyosan…

In the TARDIS, everyone was safe and sound on board, relieved that more danger was avoided. Though not before they heard a loud boom that was enough to shake the TARDIS for a bit despite narrowly escaping.

"What was that?" Peggy asked the Time Lord.

"A missile." The Doctor responded grimly. "No doubt the government of South Korea saw no other choice but to make an aerial strike."

Peggy and Steve could tell The Doctor was not happy about the outcome.

"So, no chance of curing people of the zombie virus?" Steve asked gravely.

The Doctor sighed as he began to lament. "There was nothing we could do unfortunately given the virus is too ingrained into this universe. It's something the residents of this universe have to solve for themselves. I'm sorry."

Sensing a solemn mood was in the air, The Doctor quickly changed the subject.

"I'll set a course somewhere safe for us to land." Said The Doctor, back to his light hearted self. "Perhaps Duckburg or the Air Nomads temple?"

"Anything's better than zombies really." Peggy said as she and Steve were sitting slumped on the doors out of exhaustion.

"I'm too tired to agree, honestly." Steve nodded tiredly.

"You can use one of the spare bedrooms." The Doctor suggested. "I'll help you!"

"No need." Peggy politely declined as she and Steve stood up.

"At least allow me to show you the way at least." The Doctor insisted politely.

"That we do need help on." Peggy responded, remembering how big the TARDIS was.

"Definitely." Steve nodded in agreement.

"Come along then." The Doctor motioned them to follow him.

"We did settle on a name actually." Said Peggy.

"Oh?" The Doctor inquired.

"Turns out it's a girl." Steve smiled, as did Peggy.

"And what's her name?" The Doctor asked.

"Sharon Rogers." Peggy replied as she looked at her baby girl with pride, as did Steve with Sharon herself making noises of happiness upon staring at her parents.

Ninth Doctor: Earth-192, Orchid Bay

For Juniper Lee, it was stressful enough Auntie Roon returned yet again but now she learned the existence of the multiverse thanks to who she called a crazy guy in a leather jacket called The Doctor.

Even Ah Ma, her grandmother, and the dog known as Monroe, were blown away by the concept of the existence of different universes. The magical realm was now small to them and Juniper. Ray Ray was on the other, well, was Ray Ray, for he was super excited about the multiverse and had not stop asking about how many alternate versions of himself were there.

But things got complicated as Auntie Roon had somehow returned from her banishment. However in a bit of uncreativity even for her, she managed to strip away the veil and revealed the existence of magical creatures. Again. But at the same time, to everyone's shock, she wanted to destroy the multiverse.

Which was how The Doctor, and his companion Rose Tyler, came into the picture when he saved June from being blasted by Auntie Roon herself. And to everyone's shock, he could see magical creatures despite having no trace of magic within him.

To which The Doctor responded by quoting Arthur C. Clarke's third law; that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. To which June, her brothers, Monroe, Ah Ma and Lila responded with bewilderment.

Who was this man? What is a Time Lord? Dozens of questions that were varieties of those specific questions popped into their minds constantly about The Doctor himself.

Not helping matters was the very next day, Auntie Roon made her second move as upon taking over the Orchid Bay museum mall, she caused a dozen portals to open around Orchid Bay. One portal in particular, brought most of the Avengers of Earth-61065. Only ones who were forced through the portal were Sam Wilson/Captain America, Captain Marvel, Rogue, Crystal, Sersi, Black Panther, Avril Kincaid/Quasar, Aero, American Eagle, Ms Marvel, Gert Yorkes with her dinosaur Old Lace and America Chavez. While the rest stayed behind due to being a few feet away from the portal in their universe.

Sam noted they had not seen The Doctor since meeting his seventh incarnation during a battle with a group of Daleks.

The Doctor figured they would need all the help they could get given Auntie Roon had also summoned legions of monsters to her cause. And soon finally with the help of the Avengers, Ah Ma, Rose Tyler, Monroe, Lila and June's brothers Ray Ray and Dennis; The Doctor and Juniper Lee faced off against Auntie Roon.

The battle commenced at the very mall. All heroic parties fought against the monsters and her various identical winged demonic minions, especially due to the Avengers being of greater help given the variety of superheroes on the team. Such as Captain America's artificial wings in flight, the awesome powers and strength of Captain Marvel, the size shifting of Ms Marvel and so forth.

Auntie Roon was caught off guard by the presence of the Avengers, even failing to roast them verbally as she was that unprepared. The best insult she could think of was calling Captain America a flying pigeon, to which he laughed off due to how pathetic of a burn it was. Ms Marvel in particular claimed her science teacher could make better burns than Auntie Roon.

Something Auntie Roon herself did not take such an insult well.

As everyone fought on, with even Rose Tyler using her wits to lure monsters into being punched by America Chavez and Aero saving getting Rose out of harm's way as she used her air abilities to push monsters, Juniper Lee and The Doctor confronted Auntie Roon as she rode on her flying shark monster.

"Looking for me?" The Doctor shouted.

"Well, what's up, Doc?" Auntie Moon sardonically quipped.

The Doctor sarcastically laughed in response.

"Ha! Haven't heard that one before!"

He then added, "Now whoever slew Auntie Roon? Certainly a thirteen year old girl could and you'd have to be the saddest person in the so-called magical realm to pick a fight with a child!"

"Okay, that's it!!!" Screamed Auntie Roon. "I've put up with your insults for the past few days and you're throwing my game off!"

"Oy, not my fault you make insulting you so easy!" The Doctor retorted with a grin on his face.

Suddenly, Juniper Lee leapt up and kicked off Auntie Roon from behind.

As she fell off her flying shark, she quickly got up and fired projectile blasts from her staff at the young Te Xuan Ze as if it were a shotgun. Juniper Lee dodged every blast as did The Doctor.

While Juniper Lee flipped and ducked, The Doctor actually danced his way to dodge the projectiles much to the confusion of June herself.

"Doc, what the heck are you doing?!" June cried out to the Time Lord.

"What? Is dancing not exercise?" The Doctor laughed as he continued to dance to avoid the projectiles.

He screamed like Prince as he spun around to avoid another projectile.

"Will you stop dancing?!" Auntie Roon screamed in frustration.

"How about a quarter to never?" The Doctor grinned as he casually sat on a bench and smiled cheekily.

Auntie Roon growled again as she fired a projectile at the Doctor again to which he promptly dodged as he sprinted away. She then screamed in rage as The Doctor continued to dodge, still imitating Prince given the concerts he had been to with Rose. Juniper Lee was confused as to why her focus was turned away from her until she noticed The Doctor motioning to her and mouthing to her to sneak behind Auntie Roon.

It became evident to her that he was purposefully making Auntie Roon angry, more specifically, more angry at him. Thus, taking the focus away from June to give her an advantage.

June nodded and carefully walked around Auntie Roon for her sneak attack.

"So, don't I get a few last words?" The Doctor asked Auntie Roon as he clasped his hands. "After all, you believe in the supervillain rule book, don't you?"

"You're up to something." Auntie Roon's eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Come on, you know you want to gloat at least!" The Doctor exclaimed as he goaded her on. "You're dying to do that, why not?"

"Who am I kidding?" Auntie Roon laughed. "How can I not?!"

Suddenly, Auntie Roon noticed the reflection on the top of her staff; Juniper Lee sneaking up on her.

"You sly dog!" Auntie Roon laughed much to the Doctor's dismay. "You wanted to catch me monologuing!"

Rose immediately noticed when ducking during the battle and punching one of the winged demons, Auntie Roon was about to fire at Juniper Lee. In an attempt to improvise at the last minute due to the chaoticness of the battle, she took off one of her shoes and threw it at her head.

The shoe managed to hit Auntie Roon's head. She whirled around to see Rose who stood defiantly at the witch.

"A shoe?!" Auntie Roon shouted exasperated at what she did. "Are you kidding me?! You threw a shoe at me?!"

"Rose, get out of there now!" The Doctor shouted, fearing for the life of his companion.

Suddenly, June kicked the staff off from Auntie Roon's hand. The staff landed on the ground and rolled toward The Doctor's feet.

The Time Lord picked up the staff and looked at it with mock curiosity.

"Give that back!" Cried out Auntie Roon.

"Make me!" The Doctor grinned like a child.

"Hey June, keep away!" The Doctor then shouted as he tossed the staff to June.

June picked up immediately what The Doctor was going for.

She shouted to America, "Hey, America! Keep away from Auntie Roon!"

"Give that back!" An aggravated Auntie Roon screamed as she rushed toward June.

The Te Xuan Ze girl tossed the staff to America Chavez after punching a winged demon. The young Latina girl caught the staff and smirked.

"Yo, chica!" America cried out to Rose. "Keep away from the witch!"

America tossed the staff to Rose. Auntie Roon sprinted for the staff.

"Keep away!" Rose shouted to Ms Marvel as she threw the staff.

"Keep away!" Ms Marvel shouted as her embiggined hand grabbed the staff and threw it to her hero.

As Captain Marvel grabbed the staff, Auntie Roon futilely tried to jump upward to grab the staff but to pathetically no avail as she could only wave her arms.

"Hey, Sam!" Captain Marvel called out to Captain America. "Keep away!"

"Thanks, Carol!" Captain America shouted as he caught the staff in mid air. "June, keep away!"

As he threw the staff, June caught it. But not before seeing Auntie Roon roaring and charging at her.

Thinking quickly, she smashed the staff by slamming the glass jewel itself onto the hard marble floor.

" NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Auntie Roon screamed. "What have you done?!"

Suddenly, a large portal opened on the ceiling. Auntie Roon's minions and monsters began to get sucked into the portal but not before someone like America got the final punch on one of the minions. And even the veil that kept the magical creatures invisible to humanity was finally restored.

Auntie Roon screamed in frustration and anger as she leapt onto June and wrapped her fingers around the thirteen year old's neck.

"June!" Screamed Ray Ray in fear.

The Doctor in particular was aghast and then angered, now more fiercely determined than ever to stop Auntie Roon. He hated those who would harm a child. As he eyed on a discarded fire hose that was tossed around during the battle, very quickly he looked at that and the flying shark who was being beaten easily by Captain Marvel herself given the constant punching she dished out on the creature, he got an idea.

The Time Lord wrapped one end of the fire hose around Auntie Roon's ankle without her noticing as he ran softly toward her. While turning the other end into a lasso and threw said lasso at the flying shark's tail and tightened the grip from afar.

Captain Marvel noticed and looked at the Time Lord in confusion until The Doctor gave her a thumbs up and a smile that she realized what he was doing.

After Captain Marvel returned the smile, she gave the flying shark a few more punches before much to the shock of the flying shark, Carol was about to fire an energy blast.

"Smile, you son of a bitch!" Captain Marvel exclaimed as she fired the blast, without killing him, and flung the flying shark straight into the portal.

"I should have done this four thousand years ago, dollface!" Auntie Roon snarled as June gasped for air to the point of starting to blackout.

That was, until The Doctor jumped on her back and placed the sonic screwdriver next to her ear. He pressed it on and it emitted a high pitched sonic sound that Auntie Roon could not help but scream and shriek to the highest volume.

The Doctor got away from Auntie Roon as she finally released her hands from June's neck and faced off against the Time Lord himself, who crossed his arms and displayed his trademark cheeky smile.

"You know what, clown?!" Growled Auntie Roon. "You managed to tick me off to the point of me wanting to kill you in two days than it took four thousand years for the Te Xuan Ze!"

"Got to be a new record then!" The Doctor chuckled.

Auntie Roon's eyes twitched in response. Now completely pushed beyond her limit.

"That's it, mister!" She shouted. "I don't have my staff and sure, I lost but I'll might as well kill you and that will be the satisfaction I'll at least get!"

"You can try!" The Doctor said defiantly.

"Oh I'm gonna enjoy this!" Auntie Roon smiled maliciously. "It's time to face your destiny, you big eared clownface!"

"Wrong, old loser." The Doctor grinned. "I'm afraid it's time for you to face gravity, you big lipped witch."

"Huh?" Auntie Roon made a noise of confusion, wondering what he meant.

That was, until she saw her flying shark blasted into the portal but noticed what was wrapped around the tail; a fire hose. To which she looked down on her feet and saw the other end of the fire hose wrapped around her ankle.

Instantly, she looked up at The Doctor with a look of fear, shock and horror on her face.

To which the Time Lord could only respond with a mock wave of goodbye and a smug smile.

"Ain't I a stinker?" The Doctor quipped, throwing her Bugs Bunny insult from earlier back at the witch.

"Mommy…" The last word uttered by Auntie Roon.

Finally, the fire hose tugged on her ankle and she screamed very loudly as she was now flung into the portal and back to the cave she had originally been banished to.

As she finally did cross through the portal, the portal itself finally closed. Every hero breathed a sigh of relief that it was finally over.

June slowly but surely stood up as she rubbed her neck. The Doctor approached her and used the sonic screwdriver to scan June's neck. At that point, June had already gotten used to the concept of the sonic screwdriver.

The Time Lord ceased his scanning and looked at the results. June was curious how he could even read on the device but for now, she did not bother to ask.

"What's the diagnosis, Doc?" June asked as her voice felt a bit hoarse.

"Despite her attempt to murder you, your neck should be fine in a couple of minutes." The Doctor said.

"Just take a cough drop." He then added as he tossed one from his pocket to her.

"Did you just happen to have this on standby?" June asked The Doctor out of confusion and curiosity.

"Oh that was awesome!" Ray Ray exclaimed like any excited hyperactive ten year old as he ran up to the duo. "Wham! Bam! It's the best superhero team up ever!"

"Shut up, Ray Ray."

"Shut it, Ray Ray."

They both said in an annoyed manner.

Both June and The Doctor paused as they realized they said the same thing almost exactly.

"Now that's what I call an echo." The Doctor chuckled.

Afterwards, The Doctor opted to take back the Avengers back to their universe. At least after heroes on both sides said their goodbyes and left on good terms.

But just as The Doctor was about to go inside the TARDIS to depart and bring everyone home, June stopped him. At least after making sure her brothers, Ah Ma and Lila were out of earshot but they nevertheless respected her privacy.

"Hey, Doc." June softly called The Doctor.

"Yeah?" Asked the Time Lord.

"This is kind of embarrassing but, can I ask you for advice?" Asked June, feeling a bit hesitant.

"I'll be right over in a moment." The Doctor said to Captain America and Rose.

"Take your time, Doc." Sam replied as he nodded as did Rose as they both stepped inside the TARDIS to join the rest of the Avengers.

"Well first off, don't be embarrassed to ask for advice." The Doctor said as he sat down on the ground in front of the TARDIS and invited June to sit next to him, to which she obliged.

"Now tell me, what do you need help with?" The Time Lord asked the Te Xuan Ze.

With a sigh, she spoke, "Here goes, see, I know I'm supposed to keep my life as the Te Xuan Ze a secret but then there's my friends…"

The Doctor listened intently at June's words as she explained the stress of keeping her secret life as, well, a secret. And listened to her feelings as to her feeling guilty lying to them. She wished she could tell them but can't. June even told the Doctor about the elders and other aspects of the Te Xuan Ze he had not been informed about before.

"And…that's everything." June said as she felt at least one weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "So, what do you think?"

"I think you should tell your friends." The Doctor said simply.

"That's it?" June asked in confusion.

The Doctor began his speech, "Listen to me, it may be your destiny to be a protector but it doesn't mean your friends should be shut out. Nor should it mean that they should put up a barrier that prevents you from leaving your town. Number one, they'd be missing out on learning new things, about yourself or this magical realm deal. They'd learn things they never realized were there before. Why remain in ignorance? Number two, your friends are as important as your family. Even friends can count as family. They count on you and you count on them. Who knows if they could help you out?

I don't care what some elders told you what you can or can't do! Forget their rules. I wouldn't be the madman who travels in a blue box if I listened to a bunch of bureaucrats who told me I couldn't travel to this planet or this timeline. And now I'm thankful a barrier didn't prevent me from traveling. It's fine to break the rules, especially if your heart is in the right place. Your heart wants your friends to know. Heck, even your brain wants your friends to know your secret life as the Te Xuan Ze."

"How will I know if they accept me?" June asked.

"If your friends end up fine with your secret, if they understood?" The Doctor replied. "Then you'll know they're your true friends."

He then added, "The greatest thing about something as big as this, is that your friends can also be your valuable allies. Don't take your friends for granted, June. You have so much potential and the determination to do a lot of good in the world. Don't lose sight of that. A Pakistani American girl told me once that good isn't a thing you are, it's a thing you do. Remember that. Because you definitely showed it."

June looked at the Time Lord, touched by his words that she almost cried.

"What would you suggest then?" June asked. "Where do I start?"

"Tell one friend at a time." The Doctor replied. "It'll make things easier in the long run and could help build confidence."

With that, June hugged The Doctor out of sheer gratitude. Words she needed to hear to know she was validated.

"Thanks, Doc." June thanked the Time Lord.

The Doctor was shocked and taken aback by the hug but returned the hug nevertheless.

"It's not a problem." The Doctor replied as the two released each other from the hug.

The Time Lord stood up, as did June, he prepared to enter the TARDIS.

"I really did need to hear that." June said.

"I'm glad to have told you." The Doctor concurred.

"So, where are you gonna go next?" June then asked the Time Lord.

"About anywhere really." The Doctor replied casually as he leaned on the TARDIS doors.

"Honestly, that's part of the fun." He added as he grinned. "You never know where you're gonna end up. And that's why it's so fantastic!"

"And you know what? So am I!" The Time Lord finished.

June chuckled at his last remark.

"See ya, Doc." June waved goodbye to the Doctor.

"Have a good journey, June!" The Doctor waved goodbye himself.

With that, The Doctor entered back into the TARDIS. As the doors closed, June watched the TARDIS dematerialize in front of her eyes until she could no longer see it.

With another sigh, she breathed in and out as she tried to muster up some confidence within her.

Finally, June ran off into the street with fierce determination.

After a few minutes, June finally arrived at the home of one of her best friends; Jody. But not before she stopped for a moment to catch her breath.

June then cleared her throat and marched toward the door.

As she stopped in front of the door, she hesitated for a moment. Until she reminded herself what The Doctor told her. She decided it was now or never. And that time was now.

The young Te Xuan Ze knocked on the door and waited for her friend to answer.

The door finally opened to reveal Jody.

"June!" Jody exclaimed in surprise. "I was actually going to see you!"

"Hi, Jody." June greeted her best friend. "Listen, we need to talk. And it's really important I tell you."

Jody nodded in understanding.

"Sure, come in." Jody said as she allowed June inside.

As June stepped inside the home of her best friend, she knew full well she did not know what the future will entail for her. But as she reminded herself constantly about what The Doctor had said about the future, that part of the fun is you will never know. And that's fantastic.

Author's Notes:

And chapter two is done! It'll take a while for chapter three to be done due to my other commitments but the important thing is, it's done and it's here. And now, behind the scenes trivia.

But first, again, huge, huge, huge special thanks to Ben2Dartmouth for his help and input on chapter two.

- Timeline wise for the Fifth Doctor, this is after Time Flight and before Infinity Crisis Aftermath: Double Dragon by L1701E.

- It was last year during our brainstorming last year with Ben2Dartmouth that I believe he suggested Luca for the Fifth Doctor segment and I was game for it since I love the movie Luca.

As we discussed what to include, we agreed on some kind of urban myth from Italian folklore, something that wouldn't be out of place given Luca. So I looked up what and stumbled upon the Marabbecca which was an amphibious monster that lived in a well that scared kids and I went, "perfect!"

He did also suggest Giulia should at least be familiar with the legend which I felt made sense, so I included that.

- Ben2Dartmouth also had what I call an eureka moment as he suggested Mary the Marabbecca could have come from Monstropolis. Which I thought was perfect and it made sense.

- A reference to Terror of the Zygons, especially given the Loch Ness Monster in that story.

- And speaking of, Ben2Dartmouth suggested mentioning the Loch Ness Monster given in Monsters Inc, Mike mentioned Nessie was exiled there. Especially the line Mary said. And a good thing too because I did realize, I needed to stress that the Loch Ness Monster in Doctor Who and Monsters Inc are two different beasts or variants. There is no contradiction.

- Sally and Hawkins are a reference to actress Sally Hawkins given she was in The Shape of Water, a film about a woman falling in love with a fish dude. Seemed appropriate.

- Timeline wise for the Sixth Doctor, it's after the entirety of the Trial of a Time Lord season arc but still before he met Mel given Terror of the Vervoids implied he'd meet Mel in the near future after Peri. I would have loved to do something with Mel but didn't have an idea unfortunately and I was too married to this one. But, big but here, she will appear in a future story with the Sixth Doctor.

- There was a bit of discussion whether Amazing World of Gumball should be in Earth-192 or a sub dimension or in an isolated area as I was under the impression it was on the same Earth as other Cartoon Network shows.

Ultimately, I decided to play it safe and have The Amazing World of Gumball be a sub dimension. Hence what the G stands for, Gumball.

- The viking costumes are just general "Random LOL." Same deal with the golf cart. Though there's precedent for The Doctor given the Fourth Doctor was dressed like a viking at one point in Robot, his debut story.

- I purposefully did not mention the context as to why the setting, what they're doing there, it's all a noodle incident. Originally I did not have a villain in mind, just have them be nameless but first I decided to include characters from Villainous and then, well I wrote the segment when Trump was on trial and the verdict was coming in. So literally the day before he was declared guilty, I put in the Mayor of Elmore from The Amazing World of Gumball given it was clear he was a parody of Trump and decided to make it a middle finger to him, especially given how much I humiliated him thanks to the Doctor and Luz variant.

- Also felt like humiliating the characters from Villainous because, why not? So I lifted this specific gag from an episode of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog given the polka dotted boxers and such.

- "You'll pay for this Doctor" is a Captain Planet shout out but of course I made a joke out of it.

- The intent here with the Sixth Doctor is based on what the original idea was had Colin Baker not been fired and lasted more in the role as it was intended that over his tenure, the layers would be peeled off to reveal the Sixth Doctor was as much of a kind, gentle soul as the other Doctors. Hence him giving money to the Watterson family.

- The tourists line is a shout out to a line from the Downtown Fruits episode of Hey Arnold being "Wow, people in Downtown sure are friendly."

- As mentioned, this is the Luz, Sorcerer in training variant from Earth-060322. As a reminder.- The mention of Blackpool is a reference to the deleted final line from Revelation of the Daleks as it was supposed to lead into, and what ultimately became, the unfilmed Doctor Who story The Nightmare Fair.

- Timeline wise for the Seventh Doctor, takes place before Infinity Crisis Aftermath: Skysurfin Surprise by L1701E.

- Ben2Dartmouth suggested something with the Bailey School Kids for the Seventh Doctor and even suggested the monsters from Grimm along with the Doctor knowing something about Liza's heritage. Admittedly, originally it was going to be just one monster but due to my intent with the Seventh Doctor, I decided to go with two. Hence going with one of them being an incel who tried to frame and gaslight another monster.

Admittedly I was nervous because I really wanted to get the Bailey School Kids right given he wrote them before. I did give him the entire segment after I was done with it and to my relief, he liked it and that made me happy.

- So with the Seventh Doctor, I wanted to showcase him being a chessmaster. So taking a cue from Remembrance of the Daleks and Silver Nemesis, I went for him manipulating his enemies.

- The mafia thing, I had the Kingpin's origin in the 90s Spider-Man cartoon in mind like the implication of his father getting 86'd by his own son.

- I did wanted to include a superhero joining the Seventh Doctor and Ace but I had no clue who or what they could do. So the idea had to be scrapped but someday I'll revisit the idea.- A reference to Evelyn Smythe, a companion of the Sixth Doctor in the Doctor Who audio dramas by Big Finish.

- The last scene with the Seventh Doctor is a deliberate moment lifted from the end of Silver Nemesis, my first Seventh Doctor story.

- The Eighth Doctor segment was another idea of Ben2Dartmouth as he suggested the Korean Zombie Horror series All of Us Are Dead which looks interesting and cool, I like what I saw as well as Captain Carter giving birth to Sharon Rogers.

He thought it'd be a nice shout out to the character from Marvel: Future Fight, especially since she was born in South Korea.

- When writing this, I looked over info about the series and which episode I could possibly use for the segment and the penultimate episode where the South Korean government decides to bomb the school and other locations seemed like a good ticking clock that I could have both events take place simultaneously.

- "Sydney Briar is alive" and that specific incident is a shout out to the movie Pontypool, one of my favorite Horror movies and it counts as a zombie movie too.

- I did think about having Peggy give birth in the TARDIS when being rescued before the missile hits but ultimately, it's better she gave birth before their rescue anyway.

- Ben2Dartmouth suggested the Eighth Doctor lament that that universe couldn't be cured and they'd have to deal with which I feel is a good, solid moment of sadness.

- So Juniper Lee is all me. And it started with The Ninth Doctor giving Juniper Lee advice. So it was a case of working from the ending as to what leads up to that. And for the record, I did have The Avengers from that specific Earth in mind from the getgo as well.

- Timeline wise, this takes place before the episode Dalek.

- Auntie Roon I decided to use as the main villain of the piece given the final episode of the series. Thinking back to what I wrote, I admit I love writing villains who get insanely pissed off at the Doctor and that leads to their defeat.

- I wasn't thinking it but as I wrote it, I realized that the revived Doctor Who series and The Life and Times of Juniper Lee both premiered in 2005, which interesting but I did not do that on purpose. But I think someday I'll have the Ninth Doctor meet Jake Long given the same deal.

- Figured the Arthur C. Clarke's third law would apply to how magic functions in The Life and Times of Juniper Lee as well like I did with W.I.T.C.H.

- It had been a while since I watched Juniper Lee but I skimmed through the final episode to get a clear idea of what and that's where I decided to use Auntie Roon.

- For the record, yes, Dennis, the older brother of Juniper Lee, does find out his sister is the Te Xuan Ze and joins her on the adventures.

- Reference to Who Slew Auntie Roo. Just because it called for the reference anyway.

- I decided to just amp up the Ninth Doctor not only by being heroic but also insulting villains and how eccentric he can get.

- I just think The Doctor would be a Prince fan. After all, if the 15th Doctor loves Kylie Minogue, who's to say the 9th Doctor can't let Prince? Plus, I thought "LOL The Doctor dances to dodge" blasts would be funny.

And for the record, Auntie Roon does fire the staff like a shotgun. The cartoon literally plays that up.

- Taken from and a reference to a line from The Incredibles.

- I didn't want to leave out Rose, so I tried to find an easy place for her to do something. So in a way, as both a shout out to a moment in Mulan and mainly "LOL", I thought of her throwing a shoe to distract the villain.

- I debated with myself whether to have The Doctor destroy the staff or June. Because while I wanted The Doctor to save the day but I didn't want to feel like June gets shortchanged and I didn't want it both ways. So ultimately, I chose June destroys the staff while The Doctor sends Auntie Roon into the portal.

- The fire hose, Die Hard briefly crossed my mind and I needed something to pull off what came next.

- Jaws shout out, word for word, that line. Couldn't resist.

- Time to face your destiny and time to face gravity is lifted straight from Die Another Day. My least favorite James Bond movie but that exchange plus how unintentionally funny the villain's death was (and that moment is bound to get used in a future story) is one of the few things I like about it.

- The overall idea of Auntie Roon being dragged into the portal with her ankle tied to the flying shark is a homage to how Melina Vostokoff gets taken out in HYDRA Stomper episode of What If and expect me to use that over and over for future stories.

- Now originally, I was going to have one of the incarnations of The Valeyard make a cameo and it was there, I implied the Valeyard was who freed Auntie Roon the second time and the third time. Writing the scene however, it interrupted the flow and pacing and I didn't want to take away the triumphant moment. So it had to be cut.

The material will not go to waste however as it will get its own addendum.

- The speech by the 9th Doctor. Number one, I feel he'd hugely disapprove of some things about the elders or the barrier keeping Juniper Lee in Orchid Bay. I just feel he'd at least not only listen but make June feel validated in her feelings. That's the thing for him in this segment as I wanted to display him being clever but also compassionate and caring. The elements that make The Doctor, well, The Doctor.

- The Fantastic and So am I lines, number one, had to fit his catchphrase somehow. Two, deliberate shout out to the Ninth Doctor's final words before regenerating at the end of The Parting of the Ways. So yeah, Mythology Gag.

And originally, I had that much earlier but then I realized, it'd have more of a punch as the end of his advice. Especially given the last sentence of the segment.

- Piece of music I envisioned when the TARDIS departs is when near the end of Back to the Future after Doc takes Marty home and he sees the DeLorean travel through time.

- It was always the plan to follow up on the last scene in the series finale of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee where Jody saw June basically demonstrating her superhuman athletic abilities and June didn't know she was there. So, this is my attempt to follow up on that.

And that's about everything. Hope you enjoyed it and rest assured, chapter three will come but good things come to those who wait. Especially since I have other stories in Infinity Crisis to explore.

See ya soon!
