Blitzo was in his office, holding a photo.
It was a very old one, Blitzo was just a kid at the time, and next to him, there was a female Imp, sharing a resemblance to him.
He sighed. "Can't believe I'm doing this..."
Later, he waited outside the building. When the TARDIS materialised, he went inside the box.
"Ah, Blitzo." the Doctor welcomed him, "Saw your message. How can I help you?"
"This box...The TARDIS...Can go anywhere, right?" said Blitzo.
"Yes, it does. Do you need to go somewhere?"
"Huh...I need your help." Blitzo handed the photo to the Doctor. "I want to find my sister."
The Doctor inspected the photo. "Didn't know you had a sister. Any reason why you want to find her?"
"No reason, I just wanna pay her a visit." Blitzo lied, "So, can you help me or not?"
"Sure, always happy to help." said the Doctor. He pulled down the lever and the TARDIS dematerialised.
The box materialised near a clinic in the Sloth Ring, a rather calm place with a pink sky.
"So, from what you told me, we should start from the last place you've seen her." said the Doctor, as he changed into his Hellhound disguise.
The Time Lord went to the entrance, but he was soon stopped by the scarred Imp.
"Better if we don't go by the entrance," he said, "I'm not exactly...Welcomed here."
"Why?" the Doctor asked.
"Just fuckin' do it, okay?!" Blitzo shouted.
"Alright, alright." said the Doctor. "I'll go from the entrance, you try to sneak in. What's her name, by the way?"
"Barbie." said Blitzo.
The Doctor went to the clinic
He went to the desk, where a sleepy-looking Goat Demon was drinking some coffee.
"Good morning." said the Doctor, "I'm the Doctor, I'm looking for some information." He showed the Demon the photo, pointing at Blitzo's sister. "I'm looking for this Imp girl, her name is Barbie. I heard she was recovered here."
"Let me check..." The receptionist, rather slowly, checked on an old computer. "Hmm...We only had one Imp named "Barbie". She left rehab months ago."
"I see, thank you." the Doctor left.
As he went outside. Blitzo fell to the ground from a window.
"So, any luck?" the Doctor asked.
"Not really..." Blitzo stood up, wiping the dirt off his suit. "You?"
"Neither. They told me she left rehab months ago." said the Doctor.
"What?!" said Blitzo, shocked. "Where the fuck did she go?!"
"That's a good question." said the Doctor, "Do you know where she could be? Like, a place she liked going to?"
Blitzo thought about it. "Hold on, I need to make some calls." He went away.
Minutes later, he returned.
"Alright, we have some clues." said Blitzo, "I found a lead. I know the place she works for."
"What are we waiting for? To the TARDIS!"
The two went back into the box and after the Doctor set the coordinates, the TARDIS dematerialised.
It materialised near a pharmacy. The two entered the building and went to the shopkeeper, an Incubus.
"Good morning!" said the Doctor.
Blitzo showed a photo of Barbie. " We're lookin' for one of your employees, her name is Barbie. Does she work here?"
"What? Who are you?" The pharmacist asked.
"Well, I'm the Doctor, this is Blitzo, the "O" is silent, and-"
"I'm gonna get reeeeally creative if you don't tell us what we want." Blitzo pointed his gun at the pharmacist.
"Calm down, Blitzo!" said the Doctor.
"No!" Blitzo slapped the pharmacist. "Where is she, fucknut? I know you know! It only gets worse from here, asshole!"
"OKAY, OKAY! I'LL TALK!" said the pharmacist. "She's out on a pickup!"
"ON EARTH! TO CAMP IVANNAKUMMORE!" said the pharmacist.
"...Camp what now?" the Doctor asked, disgusted.
Blitzo chuckled by the name. "Ya heard him, Doctor, let's go to the TARDIS."
"Huh...Alright."
The TARDIS materialised in a summer camp in the central United States.
"Here we are." the Doctor changed into his Human disguise. "United States, Camp Ivanna-I refuse to finish my sentence."
"Oh, don't be such a prude, Doctor." Blitzo activated his disguise-Perception Filter.
They left the TARDIS. The camp was full of teenagers minding their own business.
"Okay, your sister is somewhere here in this camp." said the Doctor,
"We have to blend in, simple," said Blitzo.
"How, exactly?" the Doctor asked. "The counsellors here are at least in their 20s while we are two sharply-dressed men."
"Relax, we'll find her out. We just have to look in dark and isolated places." said Blitzo.
So, the two split up to look for Barbie. Luckily, the campers didn't pay much attention to them.
Then, the Doctor noticed a counselor acting suspiciously. He was a short fellow with brown hair and a slight goatee, he was wearing the camp's uniform, consisting of a green t-shirt, brown shorts and a green hat. He always looked around nervously, as if he was carrying a dark secret.
The Doctor smelled blood, and followed the counselor.
He sent a text to Blitzo.
"I found someone suspicious, he's heading into the forest."
"Aight. On maee way." Blitzo sent.
Ignoring the misspelt message, the Doctor followed the counselor to an isolated cabin near the lake.
At the entrance, someone was waiting for him. It was a girl, much older than the counselor. She had dark-ish skin, with long brown hair tied into twin tails. The Doctor immediately realised she wasn't a human and also the "target" for two details: First, her eyes were red, and Stolas, Loona and the I.M.P. crew all had red eyes in their Human disguise. Second, the girl had the same birthmark as Blizo's, albeit her was crossed out.
"Found her." the Doctor thought.
Blitzo soon arrived.
"So? Have you find her?" He whispered.
"Yes, she's in that cabin, disguised as a Human." said the Doctor.
"Let's go-"
"Hold on." said the Doctor. "I want you to promise something."
"What is it?"
"Promise you'll let me talk with her and don't do anything weird." said the Doctor.
"Wha-"
"Just promise me, Blitzo."
"...Fine." The Imp sighed.
The two entered inside with force.
"Barbie!" said Blitzo.
Barbie, who was disguises as a Human and the camp counselor noticed the two entering insde.
"Blitzo?!" said Barbie with shocked and disgusted tone. Her voice was rather raspy, definitely of someone who has used drugs in the past. "What the fuck are you doing here, shithead?!"
"I should ask the same thing!" said Blitzo, "You get out of rehab, you don't text me or call for a month and now I found you here in shithole with...Who the fuck is this?"
"No one, he works for me." said Barbie. "And who's the dapper guy here?" She pointed at the Doctor.
"He's the Doctor." said Blitzo.
Barbie raised an eyebrow. "Doctor Who?"
"That's me." said the Doctor. "You must be Blitzo's sister. So, this is your job? Delivering drugs?"
"Yeah, so? It's honest work." said Barbie, "And it's enough to be as far as possible from that dipshit!"
"Why are you so agressive to him? He just wanted to find you." the Doctor asked, "I don't think it's a crime." He turned to Blitzo. "Did you argue with her before?"
Blitzo looked away, ashamed. Barbie had a realisation.
"He... Didn't tell you?" She asked. The Doctor shook his head.
"Kid, leave us alone." Barbie turned to the counselor, who immediately obliged and left the cabin. "Alright, if he didn't tell you, I will."
"I'm all ears." said the Doctor.
"No." said Blitzo, "I'll tell it." He took a deep breath, his tone was full of shame. "We used to...work at a circus owned by our dad. I often acted with an old friend, Fizzarolli."
"But Dad preferred Fizz more than Blitzo, so one day he decided to burn the fucking circus to the ground!"
"NO!" Blitzo shouted. "It wasn't like that."
"What? Are you saying it wasn't your fault?" said Barbie.
"Never said it wasn't my fault, but I'd have never do that on purpose." said Blitzo, "Fizz was my friend, above everything. He was...Heavily injured, and I had to leave to rescue Mom...But it was too late. Thing is...I want to change things. We can change things."
"What do you mean?" Barbie and the Doctor asked in unison.
Blitzo turned to the Doctor. "Your TARDIS can go back in time, right?"
"Yes-Waaaai a minute." said the Doctor, "I know what you're asking, and the answer is no."
"What?! Why?!" Blitzo asked.
"Because it's a fixed point in time. It can't be altered." said the Doctor.
"The fuck are you talking about?" Barbie asked.
"It's an event of a timeline that can't be changed, especially the personal ones." said the Doctor, he turned to Blitzo. "If you change it, no burn marks, no soured relationship, no I.M.P. and, most importantly, no Loona."
Those last two words made Blitzo desist.
"But..." the Doctor walked to Barbie. "If I can give you some advice, I ask you to at least consider forgiving him."
Barbie snorted. "Forgiving him? After all he did? He keeps fucking up other peoples' lives, just as he did with mine."
"I know and I'm sorry about it, but I'm asking you to forgive him, not to forget what he did. I may not know Blitzo very well, but he can change. I know he can. Please, do it for the person you used to care about."
Barbie looked away. She hated Blitzo with a passion after what he did and had no intention of talking with him and yet...The Doctor's words managed to break in her defences.
"Just, who the fuck is this guy..." She thought.
"We'll leave you be." the Doctor and Blitzo headed to the door.
"Wait," said Barbie. "That name, "Loona", who is she?"
"Hmm? It's my daughter, adopted, of course," said Blitzo.
"I see..."
They left.
Barbie smirked, seemingly amused. "An aunt, eh...?"
The Doctor and Blitzo went back to the TARDIS.
"Thanks for helping me back there, Doctor," said Blitzo.
"Don't mention it, I'm only doing what's right." said the Doctor. "If your sister listens to my words, with given time she will want to talk with you."
"I hope you're right," said Blitzo.
"I heard you like horses."
"So?"
"Wanna learn how to talk with them?"
"FUCK YEAH!"
the Doctor pulled down the lever and the TARDIS dematerialised.
