MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! In honor of the special day I thought I would surprise you all with a bonus Christmas Day drabble. As an added bonus it has almost 200 extra words! :)
This drabble is a sequel (of sorts) to December 15th's drabble "
Rule Breaker. Enjoy!
The Doctor followed Rose to the loo with his eyes as the next Karaoke performer took the stage.
The song started and the Doctor turned to the stage frowning slightly as he studied the man with the brown pin-striped suit and quite extraordinary hair. Who was this crazy man? There was something about him that bothered the Doctor.
He leaned back, his gaze never leaving the man on stage as he experimentally let down the shields in his mind.
A cacophony of thoughts suddenly filled his consciousness as the man on stage stumbled over a word and turned in his direction.
The Doctor's eyes widened as the barage of thoughts cleared enough from him to make some sense of them. He stared at the man, whose thoughts he could hear, in shock.
Oi! Are you crazy? What are you doing crossing your.. I mean my... I mean our timeline?
It doesn't matter anymore, came the response as he continued singing. "I'm not crazy, I'm just a unwell..."
The Doctor could see images now - Rose falling through a white room, a ginger haired woman in a wedding dress shouting at him, Daleks and Cybermen... faces, an explosion, a desperate attempt for survival against chaos.
"I know, right now you can't tell.... " the new Doctor carried on as an internal struggle of wills began between them.
What have you done?
I did what was necessary. I saved them.
You changed a fixed point it time. You don't have the right.
The Doctor on stage locked eyes with him. Who's going to stop me?
The Doctor reached into the pocket of his leather jacket and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. I will.
