The Doctor's eyes darted to the TARDIS, parked inconspicuously in the backstage area. The ship had been silent since their return, a silent sentinel to their success. As he approached it, the doors swung open with an all-too-familiar whirring sound, and a sense of unease settled in his stomach. He stepped inside, the console glowing with an unhealthy light. It was clear the TARDIS had something to tell him.
As the Doctor worked to stabilize the TARDIS's systems, a series of alarms started to go off. "Ah, there it is," he murmured to himself, his mind racing with the possibilities of what could be wrong. "I knew it was too quiet." The console was flickering, and the readings on the screen were unlike anything he had ever seen. He knew he had to act fast before the situation spiraled out of control. Suddenly a portal opened in the console room, and a person fell through landing on the floor with a thud the Doctor looked up with a mix of shock and concern.
The figure groaned and began to sit up, brushing off the dust. It was a man wearing Navy blue Shetland tweed overcoat, Brown, blue and white checked suit and a waistcoat with a similar patten The Doctor knew who this was "Well that was something wait What? What?! WHAT!" The 14th Doctor said in confusion looking at the Doctor "Who are you?" The 14th Doctor asked with a look of shock and bewilderment. "Wait are you me?" The 14th Doctor asked, looking at the Doctor "In a manner of speaking yes" the Doctor said with a chuckle "But I'm your future, the Doctor, and this is my TARDIS, well our TARDIS now I suppose." The 14th Doctor was stunned "What?!"

THE TWO DOCTORS
The Doctor took a deep breath "I guess you should know you have 8 regeneration before you become me. And well, we do quite a bit of traveling." The 14th Doctor looked around the TARDIS with a mix of wonder and confusion. "But how did I get here? Did you pull some timey-wimey stuff?" "In a way, yes," the Doctor replied with a mischievous grin. "But it's more complicated than that. You see, I got this old face back and I don't know why or how, and now you're here. It seems we've got ourselves a bit of a temporal tangle." The Doctor looked at his previous incarnation with a twinkle in his eye "But hey, it's always a pleasure to see an old face, even if it's a bit of a surprise." The 14th Doctor did something he had not done for a while he smiled "But what now?" "Well, I know what happens in the future because I have lived it you haven't, so we need to keep this a secret," The Doctor said with a serious look on his face. "But we can't change it, we've got to let the timeline unfold as it should." The 14th Doctor looked serious "Well I better get going then" The Doctor put a hand on his shoulder "You don't have to go just yet if you want I can introduce you to the New Moon Troupe they're like family to me now" the 14th Doctor looked confused "New Moon Troupe? I have never hear of them." The Doctor smiled "That's because you haven't met them yet. You well we meet them in our 16th incarnation."
The Doctor led his previous incarnation through the bustling backstage area to the troupe's dressing room. "Buster, Porsha, everyone, I'd like you to meet someone," he announced as he pushed open the door. The room fell silent, all eyes on the newcomer. "This is me, just a bit younger," the Doctor said with a wink. The 14th Doctor looked around the room, taking in the faces of his future friends. "Pleasure to meet you all," he said, extending a hand to Buster. "The Doctor is always full of surprises," Buster said, shaking his hand with a laugh. "So, this in this universe humans are animals, and you still look human?" The 14th Doctor said, eyeing the diverse animal species in the room. "Well, yeah that's it basically" The Doctor said with a shrug.
Porsha approached, her curiosity piqued. "What does it feel like, knowing your future?" she asked, her voice soft. "It's complicated," the 14th Doctor replied, his eyes meeting the Doctor's. "Unfortunately, I won't remember this meeting when I return to my universe." Porsha looked confused "why?" she asked "Because the timestreams out of sync, Porsha because the past me is here with present me it cause time its self to make him forget this happened," The Doctor explained. "Well since I'm not going to remember any of this you might as well tell me everything," the 14th Doctor said with a grin.
The Doctor couldn't help but laugh "ok then well after you there are 8 regenerations until you get to me like I said before the cause for these regenerations are 15th, I'm not sure how that happened is a bit of a blur. But you will face some tough challenges, make some wonderful friends and of course save the universe quite a few times." The 14th Doctor looked intrigued 16th is shot by an energy weapon, 17th shot by a Dalek, 18th absorbed energy from a terraforming machine, 19th stabbed by a shadow alien, 20th radiation poisoning, 21st stabbed by the XeoKnight Emperor and now it's me. The Doctor said the 14th Doctor was amazed by the Doctor's nonchalant tone "You make it sound like a walk in the park." "Well, it's all in a day's work for a Time Lord" The Doctor said with a smile. With that the 14th Doctors Tardis arrived, and the Doctor knew it was time for him to go. "So, I'm going to meet Donna Nobel again?!" The 14th Doctor asked excitedly. "Yes, you will," The 14th Doctor smiled "you know for once I do want to go."
The Doctor watched as his past self disappeared into his TARDIS with a wave goodbye. He felt a pang of nostalgia and a strange feeling of déjà vu. He had been through so much since that incarnation, and yet here he was, back in the same spot with the same friends. It was a comforting reminder of the constants in his life, even as everything else changed. He turned back to the New Moon Troupe, who were staring at him with a mix of confusion and excitement. "Well, that was certainly unexpected," Buster said, breaking the silence. "You could say that," the Doctor replied with a chuckle.
Porsha approached him, her eyes shimmering with curiosity. "So, you've met all your past selves now?" she asked. The Doctor nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Most of them, yes. It's a peculiar experience, to say the least. But it's also a reminder of the responsibilities we carry as Timelords." Buster clapped his hands together, eager to get back to reality. "Alright, enough with the existential crisis. We've got a show to run!" The group dispersed, returning to their tasks with renewed Vigor.
The Doctor couldn't shake the feeling that the meeting with his past was a sign of more to come. He knew the 14th Doctor's adventures were fraught with danger and excitement, and he couldn't help but wonder what other versions of himself might appear. As he worked alongside Porsha and the others, he found comfort in the knowledge that no matter how many times he changed, his core remained the same: a being of compassion, wisdom, and an unyielding desire to protect the innocent.
The New Moon Theatre buzzed with excitement as they prepared for their next performance. The Doctor was in his element, offering suggestions for new acts and tweaking the existing ones to perfection. His newfound friendship with Porsha had brought a sense of belonging to the troupe, and he felt more connected to them than ever before. During breaks, they shared stories of their pasts, their hopes, and their fears, creating a bond that transcended species.
