From the point of view of the first doctor.

"Oh, that's how it happened!" That words was uttered by a young lad, with an apparent liking of bowties, the doctor didn't know, but yet somehow the lad seemed familiar. As the lad had spoken the words he quickly covered his mouth with his hand as a sheepish smile played on his face and a apologizing look was to be found in his eyes, like if he knew he wasn't supposed to say that. The apologizing look was answered with killer looks from the surrounding people, most noticeable looks that seemed like ready to tear the lad apart, came from a tall velvet dressed white haired dandy and a young man in a cricket outfit..

The doctor couldn't help but feel intimidated, he had just been pulled from time and space and as Susan had refused to let go she had been pulled with him, into this massive yet empty room out of time and space, and all around him it was filled with people the doctor had never seen. Yet many of them struck him, like the bowtie boy, as frighteningly familiar. And it felt like he should know them, though few of them seemed like the type he would ever like to be seen in public with, they were all a bunch of children as far as he could see.

"Grandfather where are we?" Susan asked while looking out in the room, wearily observing all these strange people.

"Outside of time and space my dear" the Doctor clapped her hand firmly while also holding it tight. "nothing to worry about, it's only a matter of time before time and space will rearrange itself and throw us back to where we came from, most likely also even erase our memories of this mess."

"Grandfather... I think I know the aura of these people." Susan hesitated as she looked out in the room. "Well, most of them."

"So you fell it to." the doctor drew a hand to his chin as he furrowed his brows. "I don't know how, but I think I am supposed to recognize these people, what a bizarre bunch wont you say? I probably avoided them in the past" he chuckled to himself.

"Grandfather…" Susan hesitated as she looked carefully at the doctor clearly thinking of how break to news. "The aura is yours..."

"What?" the doctor widened his eyes as he looked out in the room again. First thing he saw was a man with blond curly hair in a tasteless robe, the doctor knew he wouldn't touch with a ten foot long poking stick, and to make the image worse the man was shouting for no apparent reason at the tall dandy looking fellow, who was wearing the most tasteless velvet, while the blond man with a celery attached to his cricket coat tried make peace, only to have a little hobo of a man join the fight against the velvet dandy one. And is celery and cricket coat wasn't enough, the oddest looking fellow the doctor had ever seen, with a scarf so long it could be good for nothing but tripping over was hugging an unfortunate young companion who apparently also had been sucked through time and space with one of the other people. The young lad who first had uttered the first sentence looked almost as odd as he stood there and looked around with a slight smile on his lips exchanging a couple of words with a tall skinny bloke who wore a pin striped suit. Before all of a sudden they both split in a incredible fast space, darting each their direction as hyperactive children, to seek the attention of people in a loud childish manner lacking anything as much as resembling grace at all, and showcasing no consideration for prober etiquette.

"Good grief." he looked horrified at all the different incarnations which surrounded him. And all the different companions which just wasn't Susan. He just couldn't help but tug her closer to him. It was a bit difficult to comprehend he would somehow end up as these people, and the thought also felt frightening, but not as frightening as it would in a moment.

Without realizing he was there, suddenly a dead silent incarnation of the Doctor stood in front of him, a man who had shaved his head bald and wore a plain black leather jacket over a plain black shirt. Something the doctor could never have dreamed that he would ever wear, but that wasn't the scary part at all, the scary part was how silent he was, and how he was just looking intensely at Susan without breaking a smile, or any apparent face expression for that matter, he seemed emotionless.

And those eyes.. What had happened to those eyes? They were like boundless pits of sorrow and misery the doctor for his soul couldn't shake off.

Susan the brave girl looked back at the bald man with such understanding and bravery as she let go of the doctors' hand, to embrace the stranger in a hug. He whispered something into her ear the doctor couldn't hear and Susan nodded whispering some words back. Then the leather jacket doctor simply let go, only one look was offered the old looking doctor and then the look was fixed at Susan until he wordlessly turned around and walked away only to stop midway to give a slight comment to the odd looking scarfed doctor and continue his voyage corner where a young blond girl was waiting for him after having said goodbye to the tall pinstriped one. Now she gently took the bald doctor's hand in a way he so obviously needed, though it didn't help on the bald mans moping or his sorrow eyes.

And Susan's hand equally searched his as she could sense his fright. "Are you okay grandfather?" Susan asked.

"Quite my dear" the doctor assured throwing away any worries and once again clapped her hands. "What a bunch of children." he then commented and actually meant as he was reminded of the to say it mildly, bizarre people who was supposedly him.. what had gone wrong in every single one of his regenerations?.

"I don't know... they are you, they can't be too bad." Susan argued.

"They are most certainly not, just people with my memory." the doctor argued right back. "Just look at that." he pointed with just one finger towards a little guy with a straw hat who was showing off to a young brunette by joggling 5 balls in the air in balancing on a chair. "I would never do anything like that."

"Maybe he is just trying to cheer her up." Susan argued but didn't seem so sure anymore. "They can't be to bad, they are you." she then said again.

But just to have the universe prove against her another strange little man with a mop of black hair and also a liking towards the bowtie walked over to Susan with open arms. "Susan!" he smiled widely.

Giving the white haired doctor an apologizing smile she once again let go of his hand to give the shorter version a hug. "Grandfather" she smiled, and then pulled away to look at him. "You look good." she smiled.

"First try at regeneration." The doctor smiled. "I had wondered what you would think."

"I think it's great." Susan smiled. And the white haired doctor had to give a disapproving sound to tell what his thoughts was on the matter, he didn't like what he saw. Not the slightest bit.

"Oh would you please stop, I have great respect for you and all, but I just couldn't lay down and die now could I?" the black haired doctor now spoke directly to the white haired version.

"Certainly not." the Doctor sniffed. "But I would expect some kind of dignity from you." he made aware in a very disapproving tone, he had been a very important figure back at Gallifray after all, dignity was high on his list of what was important.

"Of all things." The black haired doctor muttered annoyed. "Why give me that rant just look at them." He doctor gestured out in the room where chaos had broken loose, The doctor with the multi coloured coat was now shouting at the tall one with the pin striped suit, who at least had the dignity not to shout back and just shook his head closing the discussions as he turned around only to discover that a doctor with long brown curls and a elegant green jacket had his hands on the bald leather jackets doctor's jacket, almost shaking it, and at once the doctor in the pin striped suit took a hand on the green jacket doctor's shoulder while shaking his head his head saying some words.

And yet the clash coloured doctor was already picking a fight with the tall scarfed odd looking one, who were also just shaking his head, the clash coloured doctor turned to the one with the celery for a last word, which were shouted into the cricket dressed mans face, before shouty turned around on his hells and wandered off, only to do something very surprising, he went very calmly to the what appeared to be one of the many companions who had been sucked with the doctor's into the abnormally, only to gently clap him on the shoulder.

"Please don't judge them." Another bowtie Doctor, the young one who had uttered the first words in the room, asked of them as he suddenly stood beside them. "They have just been through much, and is on different times in their life.. Your life I suppose."

And then the doctor noticed, this young version had the same kind of eyes as the bald moody one, so inconsistent and painful. He had been speaking mostly to Susan though.

"I understand grandfather." she nodded. "Your after him." she nodded towards the bald doctor.

"I'm the oldest in here." the Doctor acknowledged. "Afraid all of this is my fault, but I guess it's sort of luck for me anyhow."

"You get to see us again." Susan answered the question the doctor was asking himself, why on earth would anyone ever want to go over this again and again? To see Susan again.. Where would Susan go.

"What becomes of Susan?" the question escaped his mouth.

"Ah ah" the bowtie doctor pocked his nose making the white haired doctor role his eyes. "Spoilers." the young doctor told teasingly. "Goodbye Susan." he then told Susan seriously.

Susan gave a little smile as the white haired doctor eyed her seriously. "Buy Grandfather, just to make it clear, whatever happens there is nothing to regret, I love you."

And that made the fear sparkle in the white haired doctor's chest, what was it that bald doctor had said to her? What was all this. What was going to happen to him, and much more importantly what was going to happen with Susan? "Wait a minute young man!" but it was already to late, as the young looking bowtie and Susan was hugging the world was once again twirling, and before he knew what was going on the Doctor stood in his Tardis scratching his head, it was like he had forgotten something very important, but what was more important Susan seemed upset and wouldn't let go of him for reasons she wouldn't explain.

"Susan child, calm yourself want you."

"I'm sorry Grandfather." She flustered apologising. "I just don't want you to go."

"Why on earth would I go anywhere?" The doctor asked confused. "Susan, you know I wouldn't leave you behind right?"

Susan looked incredible unsure at him. "yeah… right." She muttered.. it sounded like she actually doubted it right now, which just deepened the mystery for the doctor.
