Chapter 3
As it turned out, ‘Five minutes to Belgium’ was some kind of Doctor-y shorthand for ‘We might experience some slight turbulence and then explode’, although the New Doctor was keen to stress that it’d only be ‘a very small explosion’, something neither Rose, nor her Doctor, found very reassuring.
“What happened?” Rose’s Doctor asked, and the New Doctor did a rather embarrassed sort of whole body shuffle thing, that Rose had never seen before. He really was extraordinarily peculiar.
“Oh the usual. Ran into an old enemy with a grudge and a better-than-average plan, who somehow managed to throw us into the Void. But. We managed to get here with minimum damage - the impending explosion apart - and since there’s three of us now to work together, I’m sure we’ll have her back to normal in no time at all! So come on now, no time to lose!”
“Three?” Rose’s Doctor asked, looking around as if he expected a third Doctor to pop out of thin air.
“He means me, Sweetheart,” River drawled, and Rose’s Doctor did a double-take.
“You mean-”
“Yes she can fly the TARDIS,” the New Doctor cut in rather impatiently, already working on the controls.
“River, I need you to calculate the vectors for the time differentials. You can make moon eyes at me - him me - later.”
River rolled her eyes and ran up the stairs, and in moments both Doctors and River were busy running around, twisting and tweaking. Soon enough Rose found herself - along with Rory and Amy - directed into holding and pulling and turning and ’for God’s sake don’t touch that!’. Some things apparently never changed.
Finally – after an intense couple of minutes – the TARDIS shuddered and jerked and clearly did whatever-it-was that it was supposed to do to stop whatever-it-was that was happening, if the giant burst of sparks was anything to go by.
“Ah! Excellent! Well done everyone!” the New Doctor said, clapping, and Rose let go of the four buttons she’d been pressing, only to be knocked off her feet as an aftershock hit, and - for good measure - banging her head against the rails as she went down.
Looking up through the stars dancing in front of her eyes, she saw two worried Doctors crouched down over her. Her own Doctor was gently propping her up, as the New Doctor was scanning her with his sonic, which looked like it was glowing green. Just how hard had she hit her head?
“Rose? You with us?” her Doctor asked, and she grimaced a smile.
“Yeah, think so,” she said, before the New Doctor cut in.
“Say ‘aah’!” he demanded, and she stared at him dumbly.
“What?”
“Say ‘aah’!” he repeated, slowly, and feeling like a complete fool she did as he said.
“OK, you’re fine!” he decided, after carefully inspecting her throat, and then snapped his screwdriver shut and tucked it back into an inside pocket.
“Wait – was that a new one?” Rose’s Doctor asked, and the New Doctor beamed and pulled it back out again, flicking it open and showing it off. Rose’s Doctor reached out, and a second later the New Doctor was busy explaining how opening it was ‘all in the wrist’, and Rose just stared from one to the other.
Upstaged by a screwdriver...
“Hey – want a hand?” Amy asked, and Rose accepted the offer gratefully, pulling herself to her feet.
“Thanks. It’s this floor – how do you ever stay upright? I liked it better before.”
‘And now my transformation to Grumpy Old Companion is complete’ she thought to herself, as Amy tilted her head.
“What was it like before?”
“Oh it was... smaller than now. And sort of... corally. Like being inside one of those round shells. The console was all see-through and glowing green, and the floor was grated.”
River shook her head.
“The floor wouldn’t be a problem if he’d just use the stabilisers. But that’d be too easy... You know what he’s like!”
She shot a fond look at the two Doctors, now busy discussing the pros and cons of their screwdrivers (Rose’s Doctor’s had taken ages to create, but it worked pretty well), and utterly unaware of anything around them.
“See this is why I married a human nurse and not an alien Doctor,” Amy said, entwining her hand with Rory’s. “No offence by the way.”
“None taken!” River replied, causing Rose to frown. Before she could ask what she meant, however, River grabbed her shoes from where she’d hung them next to the screen. “But will you excuse me? I really need to get changed. Good Lord I hope the wardrobe hasn’t moved again. Or ended up in the swimming pool...”
She swanned off up a staircase, in the process deftly kicking the New Doctor.
“Hey- new world. Find somewhere interesting!”
“What? Oh yes, of course.”
Not long after (Rose made sure to hold on tightly), they landed somewhere or other, and River re-emerged, this time far more sensibly dressed.
The New Doctor walked to the top ot the stairs and looked around, making sure he had his Companions’ attention.
“River, Amy, Rory - welcome to Pete’s World!”
He lifted his hand and snapped his fingers - and the TARDIS door swung open.
Rose blinked, and turned to her own Doctor, who muttered “Show-off” under his breath.
Then the New Doctor swivelled on the spot, finger still raised, and pointed at her.
“Ah. Which reminds me. I might have to borrow some money.”
“Um... sure. What for?”
He smiled triumphantly.
“I’m going to buy a fez!”
Of all the things Rose had expected, this was the last. But River didn't look surprised at all, just slowly shook her head.
“Oh no, you’re not.”
The New Doctor looked at her determinedly.
“Yes I am.”
“No. You. Are. Not!”
“Yes I am! Fezzes are cool! And I would very much appreciate it if you didn’t shoot it. Again.”
River smiled dangerously and pulled a futuristic gun out of her handbag.
“Just watch me.”
Popping the gun back in her bag she tossed her curls over her shoulder and walked down the stairs, the New Doctor loping after her.
“Listen River, violence never solves anything-”
“Pot, kettle, darling!” River shot back and strode out of the TARDIS, the New Doctor following, waving his hands around.
“I do not destroy perfectly innocent hats at the drop of a... hat. River-”
His voice faded out and Amy chuckled.
“Oh they are so married!”
Before Rose could react to this (what did she mean 'married'?), Amy grasped Rory’s arm excitedly. “Oh! Parallel universe. There could be another us out there!”
“Amy- I don’t think that’s a good idea...” Rory protested as she dragged him down the stairs, and Rose turned to her own Doctor and shook her head.
“Is it just me, or are they all totally mad?”
Then she remembered that the neighbourhood kids were now banned from visiting after the incident with the sonic trampoline and the (failed) attempt at automatic sand, and cleared her throat.
“Actually - forget I said that.”
Just then the New Doctor stuck his head through the door.
“Come on you two! Not leaving you in here all by yourselves.”
“And what is that supposed to mean?” Rose’s Doctor asked lightly, as Rose took his arm and they, too, descended the stairs.
“Oh don’t pretend that you don’t know that I know exactly what you are thinking!” the New Doctor said. “And I will not allow it.”
He shook his finger at Rose’s Doctor.
“She’s had a very rough time of it lately, poor girl, and she needs some rest.”
Rose’s Doctor looked vaguely guilty as they walked out the door.
“Would have brought her back,” he said petulantly, and the New Doctor shook his head.
“That’s what we always say.”
Just as Rose realised that they were talking about the TARDIS, she got distracted from the conversation by the sight of her mother striding across the lawn from the Tyler Mansion (how did this qualify as ‘interesting’? Or had he got it wrong again?).
Her mother didn’t stop until she reached the motley group, then looked them over, hands on hips:
“Oh you have got to be kidding me!”
