Disclaimer: I do not own The Doctor or anything associated with him. Or Shakespeare. (I own a copy of a few plays, though). And, surprisingly, I don't think I've ever owned a turnip. So we're okay there too. In case those are copyrighted as well.

The Doctor grinned at Amy and Rory, "Right! Everyone grab on to something! It's time for some fun!" The three intruders hid behind the door way. The Doctor played with the controls a bit, and then the TARDIS shook violently and made the dematerialization noise. "And off we go!"

John fell down, dragging Jen and Karen with him. "Can't you manage to not fall on your feet every five minutes?" Karen moaned.

The Doctor turned around, "Ah, you! Just the person I wanted to see." Jen raised her eyebrows. John raised his hand. The Doctor looked at him as if seeing him for the first time. "What do you want?"

"I just want to let you know, whatever you are, that I was practically abducted. Coming aboard your spaceship-"

"TARDIS." The Doctor interjected.

"Was not my idea." John finished.

Amy rolled her eyes. "Some friend you are. Oh, blame the girls, why don't you? If I went storming aboard a spaceship those two would willingly follow me!"

"Only to keep you from getting hurt!" Rory announced indignantly.

Amy glared at him. "I can take care of myself."

After a beat, The Doctor announced with a smile, "Only to keep some else from getting hurt!"

Amy smacked him on the back of his head. "Very funny Doctor."

He smiled, "Now, what's your name?" John opened his mouth to answer, "No, not you. You're boring. You."

Jen smiled, "I'm Jen, this is Karen and that's John."

"Alright. That's The Doctor, I'm Amy and this Rory."

"I love your hair color." Karen replied.

"Oh, thank you!"

Rory frowned, apparently just thinking of something. "How did you get on the TARDIS? Past him?"

"He was playing with fire and chemicals, and you two weren't in here."

Amy blushed a bit, but smiled, "We were a bit occupied."

Karen rolled her eyes. "TMI."

The Doctor appeared confused. "Why?"

Jen sighed, "Trust me. Too much info."

The Doctor looked at her again, and his eyes lit up. "But you! I need to talk to you!"

"Why?"

"You knew! No one ever knows, not unless I've run into you before! Not about the TARDIS!"

Jen shrugged, "I hear things."

"From who? That was America, for goodness sake!"

"That doesn't mean it's a different planet!"

John's mouth opened in horror, "What do you mean "was"?"

"We just left."

"Where are we going?"

The Doctor grinned, "Set the TARDIS to go to Goldilocks."

"That was just discovered."

"Goldilocks?" Amy and Rory asked.

"Earth like planet. Lots of fun."

Karen raised her eyebrows, "Who the hell named it Goldilocks?"

"Humans."

"Oh, we are idiots, aren't we? Hello aliens, we named your planet after a robber who got eaten by bears." Karen sighed.

"Did she really get eaten?" Jen asked.

"Breaking and entering. Big crime for a bear." The Doctor replied.

"She doesn't get eaten in some stories. Most, actually." John pointed out.

"Oh, where's the fun in that? So long as they gave her a chance;"

"Here he goes again," Amy muttered to Rory, "Every one who does something bad gets a chance to redeem themselves, but if they don't…"

"Then she deserves to be punished. One chance is enough." The Doctor concluded with a nod. He had missed Amy's remarks. "But now, for you! Who told you anything?"

"My mom did. Well, not told exactly. More didn't notice me when she was talking to my dad. Well, I think he's my dad, if you catch my meaning."

"Yeah…" The Doctor nodded, "No." He shook his head.

Amy knew how it would go, so she said, "I'll explain later, alright Doctor?"

"Fine. Continue Jen."

"Well, she was talking about this one guy she met about five years before I was born. And he got a bit drunk. A lot drunk. A lot lot drunk. Really, really, really sloshed." She took a breath and continued, "And mom didn't get as drunk. Almost though. They went to his place. And when she woke up he was still asleep. And he talked a bit."

"Who was he?"

"All mom said was Captain Jack. But I was rather young at the time-"

"When did you start eavesdropping?" John asked.

The Doctor sighed, "Oh, Jack." He sounded mildly disappointed.

"Who is this Captain Jack?" Amy asked, "He sounds like fun."

"He is…fun. But." The Doctor sighed, "He's a time traveler, who is going to live forever. Fifty-first century man, he called himself. Amazing man. Good with guns. Works with Torchwood now, but he did help save the world a couple of times."

Amy raised her eyebrows, "And?"

"We don't talk much any more. He's…wrong. I look at him, he's a point in time and he's wrong."

Amy frowned, "Doctor, there is something you are not telling me."

"Us." Rory corrected her.

"Us." She amended.

"There is a lot I'm not telling you. Around 907 years worth of stuff I'm not telling you."

"That is not what I meant Doctor." Amy frowned, "And you know it."

"It is a very, very, very long story. And you wouldn't know anything I said. Trust me, Amy, I will tell you. Now, I need to find out exactly-"

The TARDIS started to materialize. "Oh. Now, let's go explore!"

They followed the Doctor outside, where John tapped him on the shoulder, "Um, can you explain time again?" The Doctor waved everyone else ahead.

Amy shrugged and grabbed Rory's hand and led him forward. Jen glanced over at Karen, hit her on the arm and yelled as she ran forward, "TAG!"

"Again?"

"Fine, can you tell me how I was 20 million light years away about a minute ago and ended up somewhere in the far future?"

He smiled, "Shakespeare said it best, I do believe. 'Time's glory is to command contending kings, to unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light'. Or did I feed that line to him?" He smiled and followed the others to the shore.

John stared after him for a moment before yelling, "Hey! You didn't answer my question!" The Doctor waved a hand behind his back, dismissing John.

Karen and Jen were running around on the shore when John finally came over the hill. Amy was sitting on the ground next to Rory, leaning against him. The Doctor stood far on one side, just looking out on the ocean.

Amy waved at him as he passed by, heading towards his best friends. Jen saw him first and grabbed Karen's arm. He slowed down as a grin spread over her face. Then Karen started to smile as well, and he changed course and sprinted towards The Doctor.

The girls frowned and slowed down when they reached to two of them. The Doctor was frowning. They stared silently out over the ocean until Amy walked up behind them, "Doctor?"

"It's wrong. This-" He gestured around wildly, "Is all wrong."

"Wrong like Jack or-"

"Will you please stop bringing up Jack?"

"I've only done it once!"

"Which is enough. Trust me."

Jen sighed, "What is wrong then? It looks pretty. Picturesque"

"Yes. That's rather the problem." he sighed, then pointed, "There was no sign of life."

"Where is there-" John started, then saw it. "Is that an alien?"

"We're on it's planet. We're the aliens." Karen murmured. "And…no. It looks like a whale."

"Exactly!" The Doctor sighed, "Who would bring a whale out here?" The Doctor sighed, then looked over at Amy. "Nah. You can't work it. Which leaves…Oh dear."

"Would River do something like this?"

"Doubt it. Well, maybe. But she'd be around to see who came first to see it. But…would he?"

"Who?"

"Nah. Doubt it. Might have, but didn't get any answers. Would have left." He shook his head, "Oh, Jack." He murmured. "Oh, Jack." He watched the whale, shaking his head sadly.

"Can't you do anything for it?"

"No. I'm a Doctor, not a miracle worker."

Karen giggled a bit, and got looked at oddly by everyone else, "What? You've never seen StarTrek? Never?"

"What's StarTrek?" Rory asked.

"Nevermind." Karen sighed, "So, where do we go next?"

"We?" The Doctor and Rory asked.

"Sure. Can't leave us behind. Not now. Now that we know Jen isn't a lunatic, you can't leave us, knowing what we know."

"Not unless you can erase our minds or something." John agreed laughing.

The Doctor looked at him thoughtfully. "Huh."

Amy nodded, "Jen, you want to come with me. I want to hear more about this Jack. He won't tell me anything." She rolled her eyes.

"What is StarTrek?" Rory asked Karen. "You've got to tell me."

"It'll be a long story. Let's find a place to sit. How about those rocks over there?"

Rory looked at rocks. "Yeah, you know what, sure." He gestured Karen forward.

"Let's go over there then." Amy muttered, "It sounds boring."

"It is." Jen agreed. She looked back at The Doctor suspiciously, shook her head sadly, and started forward, "Let's go. You boys have fun."

The Doctor led John back to the TARDIS, where he wiped his memory. Rory dropped off Karen next, and together they moved the two of them to the hallway. When Amy brought Jen in the conversation started off, "What in the world is he captain of?"

"Jack?" Rory asked, confused.

"No, you." Amy sighed, "I'd really like to meet this guy."

"You might. Seem to run into him when the world is ending."

"That is not comforting."

Jen looked around, "Where are Karen and John?"

The Doctor turned to face her, "I've made them forget everything. I can't have you remembering any of this either."

"Don't make me forget the story I overheard."

The Doctor looked surprised, "What? The last time some one knew I had to take away all memories of me, they got really upset!"

Jen shrugged, "I was raised to be reasonable. It doesn't often show, but sometimes, there's a hint. I knew this wouldn't last."

The Doctor nodded. "Alright. Here it goes."

Jen frowned during lunch, "John? Karen?"

He looked up from his chemistry book, "What?"

Karen turned her head to face Jen, "Yeah?"

"Just a question that's going to sound really weird. What do you remember about chemistry?"

John was about to respond sarcastically when he paused, and looked thoughtful. "Um. There was, um, a"

"Turnip." Karen said. She sounded uncertain, "There was something to do with a turnip. Wasn't there?"

"Must have been." John nodded, "Yeah. We did something to a turnip."

Jen nodded, "Yeah. I don't know either. A turnip. Who in the universe would think up that?"
