The Five Doctor's and Hatter's, part 1.

The Doctor ran a cleaning cloth over the TARDIS console, pausing for a moment to give a spot a slightly harder scrub while the Hatter leaned against the wall, watching him with a fond look. She was dressed in blue jeans, bright orange ruffled shirt with an orange hat, convers's, blonde hair, and bright blue eyes.

Tegan walked in, wearing a red checked dress and red heels, "Finished?" she asked the Doctor.

"Yes," he smiled, glancing over to her, "And it looks rather splendid, doesn't it?"

"If you don't say so yourself," the Hatter smiled, walking over to him.

"Very funny, Hatter," the Doctor shook his head but couldn't help himself from smiling.

"But will the TARDIS work properly?" Tegan asked, eyeing the console.

"Of course, once everything's run in".

"Doctor, this is a Type 40 TARDIS," the Hatter cut in, looking amused, "I don't think you can get anymore 'run in' as you put it".

"Don't listen to her, old girl," the Doctor patted the console, "She's just upset because her TADISE is off being repaired".

The Hatter shook her head, "Yes, I admit that I miss my TARDIS but I'm not upset, actually, I'm enjoying travelling with you, it takes my mind off things…" she trailed off, closing her eyes painfully as she tried not to think of April Jones, Katie Harrison, and Michael Andrew's, her last companions.

Tegan cleared her throat, seeing how upset the Time Lady looked, "Didn't you repair everything?"

"Well," the Doctor forced himself to look away from the Hatter, feeling slightly guilty for teasing her, "The TARDIS is more than a machine, Tegan. It's like a person. It needs coaxing, persuading, encouraging".

Tegan crossed her arms, "You mean it's just as unreliable".

The Hatter laughed as the Doctor pointed his finger at his companion, "You have little faith, Tegan".

"Do you blame me?"

"No," the Hatter smiled at the other women, "In fact, I'm inclined to agree with you".

"So it's going to be one of those days," the Doctor sighed, shaking his head as he pulled a lever to open the door, only for it not to work, he glanced at the Hatter, looking embarrassed before thumping the console, making the doors open, "After you, Ma'am," he gestured toward the doors, looking at the Hatter again with a faint blush.

"Ever the gentlemen," the Hatter smiled, exchanging amused looks with Tegan, walking out while the Doctor followed.

They stepped out into what appeared to be an old stone ruin were they had parked the TARDIS, both taking a deep breath of the fresh air, "It was a brilliant idea to come here, Doctor," the Hatter smiled at him, "I already feel so much…lighter, do you know what I mean?"

"Grief and loss are always very painful," the Doctor said sadly, pushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear, "But you will get through it, I know you will. You've already improved since you began travelling with us, I only hope that you will one day forgive yourself for something you had no control over".

"But I did have control over it," the Hatter shook her head firmly, forcing herself not to burst into tears, the last thing she wanted was the Doctor to begin comforting her, not when she didn't deserve it, "April…" she swallowed hard, willing the pain to go away, "She would never have died if I hadn't meet her…she would have been safe".

"She would never have been safe living in the streets, Hatter," the Doctor told her gently but firmly, "You gave her a family, something she hadn't had before. If anything, you made her life better and you should be proud of yourself, just because of that".

"Maybe," she shrugged but the Doctor could clearly see that she didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he left it. Later, perhaps after she had spent some time to herself he would try again.

They walked through a stone archway, spotting Turlough sketching in a large sketch book the beautiful country side that surrendered them. He glanced up at them as he showed them his sketch, "It's marvellous here," he remarked as Tegan join them, "I feel so relaxed".

"That would be the high bombardment of positive ions," the Hatter explained, the Doctor smiled to himself, she had been holding herself back on the last few adventures they had been on, it was nice to see her old self poking through again.

"It's like Earth after a thunderstorm," Tegan remarked, looking around.

"Same cause and reason," the Doctor nodded, putting an arm around the Hatter's shoulders.

"It's beautiful," Tegan breathed.

"It is rather appealing," the Hatter nodded her agreement, looking around.

"For some," the Doctor said, avoiding looking at the Hatter as he spoke, "The Eye of Orion is the most tranquil place in the Universe".

"I can see why," the Hatter smiled softly, looking at the Doctor who smiled back.

Tegan turned to the Time Lords, "Can't we stay here?"

The Doctor glanced at the Hatter who nodded, making him grin, looking back to his companion, "Why not? For a while. We could do with a rest".

…Somewhere, sometime, Earth…..

The First Doctor was strolling through an Earth garden; thinking about how much his Hatter would have loved to have seen it, how fascinated she would have found all of the Earth planets. If only she had agreed to ditch her good for nothing husband and ran away with him and Susan all those years ago…but she did have a point. Her main focus should be on her family, not on his silly old dreams.

He walked to the lower part of the garden when something caught his eyes in the sky, he looked up and his eyes widened as he saw a conical like object flying towards him. He quickly started running; despite his elderly appearance, when he was scooped up by the object, vanishing without a trace.

…Gallifrey…

The First Hatter was sitting underneath the silver leaves of her favourite tree, reading. It always made her think of the Doctor when they were children, sneaking out of school, getting in trouble, pulling pranks on un-expecting students, and teachers. She could still remember the day that they carved their names into the tree, promising that they would always be together as best friends for ever.

Sadly, real life had caught up with her, family, an abusing husband, and work, had all played it's part in making sure that she didn't leave with the Doctor when he had asked her all those years ago, something that she regrated most strongly now days.

Suddenly, something caught her eye and she glanced up, before she could do any more then gasp in surprise, she was scooped up by a conical object, leaving nothing behind except her book.

…Eye of Orion…

"Ah!" Both the Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter grasped the chest tightly, almost collapsing on top of each other at the sudden pain that struck them at the same time.

"What the…" the Fourth Hatter gasped again, closing her eyes tightly and bit her lip.

"Are you alright?" Turlough asked, running over to them, looking concerned.

The Fifth Doctor winced slightly, rubbing his chest, "Just…a twinge of cosmic angst," he glanced at the Fourth Hatter who was also rubbing her chest, just over her left heart, "Are you alright, Hatter?"

"Yes," she nodded, frowning, "I to felt a twinge of cosmic angst," she shook her head, "I'm sure it was nothing…hopefully".

"Cosmic?" Tegan repented, looking confused.

The Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter slowly turned to look at the humans, saying at the same time, "As if I'd lost something".

….….…..Colonel's office, UNIT HQ…

Colonel Charles Crichton stood in his new office, pouring a drink for himself as he walked toward the Brigadier who was sitting on top of the desk off to the side, dressed in normal clothing, "Right," he said, filling the Brigs glass.

"Thank you," the Brig nodded.

"Well," Charles said, holding his glass up in a small toast, "To civilian life".

The Brig chuckled as they drank, lowering the glass as he looked around the room, "You know, I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this reunion. A chance to re-meeting old friends".

Charles nodded, frowning, "There was one chap and a young women we tried to get hold of," the Brig smiled slightly, guessing who he was talking about, "What were their names? They used to be your scientific advisors".

"Oh, the Doctor and the Hatter," the Brig nodded, smiling as he thought of the old days.

"Yes that's right".

"Wonderful chap," the Brig smiled softly, "And an extraordinary women. All of them".

Charles blinked, frowning, "All of them?"

The intercom beeped, cutting off whatever the Brig was going to say as Charles walked around his desk, pressing the comm., "Yes?"

"Excuse me, sir," a young man's voice came over the comm., "Sorry to interrupt. Two people have arrived".

"I'm not expecting anyone," Charles replied back.

…..…Outside the Colonels office…..

"They're insisting on seeing Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart," the young sergeant called back over the comm., eyeing the man and women standing in front of his desk.

The man was dressed in a large fur coat that seemed to swallow him because on his small stature of 5'8. He was wearing a plain, light blue shirt with a black, butterfly bow-tie, a black suit jacket with a red polka dot pocket square peeking over the edge of his pocket, and grey, black pants.

The woman was blonde with brown eyes, hidden behind glasses. She wore a black dress with a white, lace collar, a red scarf, black tights, red converses, a black cape, and a black bowler hat with feathers on the side. She was slightly taller than the man, around 5'9.

"How did they know he was here?" Charles asked back, the man and women exchanged looks and started walking toward the office door.

"I'm sorry, Sir, Ma'am," the sergeant quickly stood from his desk and hurried over to them, making them look at him, "You're not allowed in there".

"Not allowed?" the man repented, glancing at his female companion who looked at the sergeant, smiling pleasantly, "Us? We're allowed everywhere".

"Oh, we are modest today," the women shook her head fondly.

The man sent her a small wink, ignoring the sergeant and opened the door, stepping inside as the young man grabbed his large, fur coat but instead of stopping the other man, he did a neat turn, taking his coat off in the process as the women followed behind.

"Oh, thank you," the man nodded to the surprised sergeant before holding out his hands to the Brig, smiling, "Brigadier".

"Hello, Alistair," the women greeted warmly, walking around her companions and kissing the Brigs cheek, "Lovely to see you again".

"Good heavens," the Brig breathed, shaking the man's hands while he looked at the women, "Is it you?"

"Yes, yes," the man nodded, "For once, I was able to steer the TARDIS".

"With my help of course," the women cut in, shaking her head.

"And here we are," the man continued as if the women had never spoken.

Charles sighed, looking over to the see the sergeant still by the door, fur coat in hand, "It's all right, Sergeant".

"Very good, Sir," the young man nodded, turning away to hang the fur coat on the coat rack before leaving, closing the door behind him.

"I hope we're not late," the women said, looking at the Brig, "I do try to get us to the right place but the old girls not like she used to be. I keep telling him to get it checked," she looked pointedly at her friend.

"What for?" the Brig asked.

"For your speech as guest of honour," the man replied, shaking his head at the women.

"How did you know?" the Brig blinked, looking at them, surprised.

"We saw it in the Times," the man answered as the woman nodded.

"That's impossible," Charles said seriously, "The reporter's still here".

"Tomorrow's Times," the man frowned, walking toward the Colonel, "And, er, and who is this?"

"That's Colonel Crichton," the Brig introduced, smiling, "My replacement".

The man and women gasped, looking at each other and nodded, "Ah," the man turned back to the Colonel, eyeing him for a moment, "Yes, mine was pretty unpromising, too".

"Hey," the women gave her friend a stern look, "I happen to like your future self. I thought he was quit charming, when the two of you weren't at each other's throats that is".

The Brig cleared his throat, sending the Colonel an apologetic look as he turned back to the man and women, "Come along, Doctor, Hatter," he walked over to the coat rack and grabbed his own coat along with the Second Doctor's, "We'll take a stroll round the grounds, shall we?" he walked back over to the Colonel, coats in hands while the Second Doctor looked around the room, "Awfully sorry about this. Do excuse me for a moment".

"You've had this place redecorated, haven't you?" the Second Doctor frowned as the Brig walked over to a set of French windows that opened out into the garden, "Hmm. I don't like it".

"Oh, don't start," the Second Hatter sighed, grabbing his hand and dragging him toward the Brig, glancing over her shoulder, "Nice to meet you. I wish you good luck".

"Come along, Doctor, Hatter," the Brig called again.

"After you," the Second Doctor gestured to the Brig.

"What?" he asked, the Second Hatter shook her head.

"After you," the Second Doctor repented.

"No, no," the Brig shook his head, opening the door and gesturing for the Second Hatter to go first, "Ladies first".

"Or in my case, Time Ladies first," the Second Hatter smiled, walking through the doors, followed by the Brig who helped the Second Doctor put his coat on, closing the door behind.

The Colonel watched, shaking his head as he screwed the lid back on his bottle of whiskey, a moment later the sergeant entered, "Everything alright, sir?" he asked, noticing the look on the other man's face.

"What the blazes is going on?" the Colonel frowned, looking at the sergeant, "Who was that strange little man? And who was that blonde women with the black cape?"

"The Doctor and the Hatter".

"Who?"

…

The Second Hatter sighed, shaking her head as she watched the Second Doctor attempting to tire the string on his coat to fasten it, "Oh let me do it, Doctor," she finally said, batting his hands away and began tiring it properly, "I will never understand why you insist on this coat, not when it makes you shorter then you already are".

"It's warm," the Second Doctor defended himself as the Brig watched them, looking amused.

"I would hope so," the Second Hatter shook her head, stepped back and nodding, "Alright, all finished".

"Good," the Second Doctor muttered, wincing slightly at the glare he was sent.

The Brig cleared his throat, putting his hands inside his trench coat pockets as they began walking, "Yes. Yeti, Cybermen," he smiled, glancing at the Time Lords, "We've seen it all, Doctor, Hatter".

"And Omega," the Second Hatter reminded him, "We mustn't forget Omega".

"As if I could!" the Brig shook his head.

"And the terrible Zodin," the Second Doctor added, linking an arm through the Second Hatter's.

"Who?" the Brig frowned.

The Second Hatter hit the Second Doctor's head, seeing as he was unlikely to feel it through his thick coat, "I thought this was a bad idea from the very beginning, l should never have allowed you to drag me into this".

"If I recall, you agreed," the Second Doctor replied, giving her a slightly smug look before turning to the confused Brig, missing the look he was sent from the blonde, "Oh, you weren't concerned with her, were you? She happened in the future. They were covered in hair. Used to hope like kangaroos," they came to a stop at the end of the path, close to a large tree as the Time Lords turned to the Brig, "Well, we must say goodbye, Brigadier".

"We shouldn't be here in the first place," the Second Hatter admitted, looking slightly guilty, "You see, we're not exactly breaking the laws of time, but we are bending them a little".

"You never did bother much about rules, as I remember," the Brig shook his head, fondly. The Second Doctor and the Second Hatter slowly lost their smiles as they caught sight of something flying toward them, the Brigadier frowned at them, "What's the matter?" he asked them. He turned and followed there line of sight to see a conical object flying towards them, "What is that?" he breathed.

"Bad news, I'm afraid," the Second Hatter frowned, "Alistair, I think our past is catching up with us".

"Or maybe it's out future," the Second Doctor added, grabbing the Second Hatter's hand and the Brigs arm, "Come on, run!" he shouted, pulling them under the cover of the tree in the hope of it hiding them.

"Doctor, Hatter," the Brig groaned, pulling his arm out of the other man's grip, "I'm too old for this sort of thing".

The Second Doctor and the Second Hatter ignored him, looking around frantically, searching for the flying object, "Where's it gone?" he demanded, glancing at the Second Hatter as she continued to look before looking back to the Brig, "We must get back to the TARDIS before it's too late".

The Second Hatter glanced behind her and gasped, "There!"

Both men turned to see the object flying toward them, the Doctor grabbed the Hatter's hand again, shouting, "Run!" they began running out from under the tree, but a moment later the object swopped down and caught them, once again, leaving nothing behind.

…..…..…..Eye of Orion…..

The Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter appeared to be staring into the distance, but seeing nothing in front of them, both breathing deeply as if they had been running fast, holding one hand just over there right heart.

"Doctor, Hatter," Tegan asked, looking at them in concern, "What is it?"

Slowly, the two Time Lords glanced at her before returning there gaze off into the distance, "It's fading," they both breathed, "It's all fading".

Turlough exchanged looks with Tegan, "What's fading?"

"Great chunks of my…" the Fifth Doctor trailed off, his eyes flickering to the Fourth Hatter standing beside him, "Our past, detaching themselves like melting icebergs," both he the Fourth Hatter cried out in pain, "Ah!"

"Do something," Tegan exclaimed, looking desperately toward Tulough as they rushed forward, "Help them!"

"Oh, no," the Fourth Hatter shook her head, clutching tightly to her chest through the pain, "Please, don't look so worried. We'll have it all worked out soon enough".

"Everything's all right," the Fifth Doctor nodded, clutching his own chest in pain, "Everything's quite all right," he clapped his hands on Turlough and Tegan's shoulders, a moment later he collapsed along with the Fourth Hatter.

Turlough managed to catch the Fifth Doctor before he fell while Tegan helped the Fourth Hatter.

…A country road on Earth…

The Third Doctor and the Third Hatter were enjoying a drive through the country side in the Third Doctor's car, Bessie. They had managed to sneak out of Unit's base while they were supposed to be writing up a report for the Brigadier, and Sarah Jane Smith was off working on a story for the newspaper she worked for.

"Great balls of fire!" the Third Doctor exclaimed, the Hatter frowned at him before she spotted the cone like object flying toward them.

"Oh dear," she sighed, looking worried, "Doctor, we have to get out of here!"

The Third Doctor nodded, turning Bessie around in a junction they were just approaching, flooring the accelerator. A moment later they lost sight of the cone object in the wing mirror.

"Good old Bessie," the Third Doctor smiled, patting the steering wheel as the Third Hatter smiled.

"Doctor, I may tease you about being a terrible TARDIS driver," she said, giving him a small smile as he smiled back, "But you can be a brilliant car driver at times".

The Third Doctor opened his mouth to reply, when he was cut off by the corn object swopping down on them, sweeping them away, Bessie and all.

…..…Eye of Orion….

The Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter were sitting beside each other on the ground, heads bowed as they held each other's hands. Turlough and Tegan crouched beside them.

"What's happening to them?" Tegan asked, looking at Turlough, almost crying, "What are we going to do?"

"They seem to be under some kind of psychic attack," Turlough said thoughtfully.

Slowly, the Fifth Doctor raised his head, "We are being dimished," he told his companions, speaking slowly as if it caused a great effort, "Whittle away, piece by piece. A man is the sum of his memories, you know".

"A Time Lord and Time Lady even more so," the Fourth Hatter slowly lifted her own head up to look at the humans, sounding weak as she spoke.

"What can we do to help you?" Tegan asked.

"Get us to the TARDIS," the Fourth Hatter replied, breathlessly.

Tegan quickly helped her up, putting an arm around her as the Time Lady took unsteady steps, Turlough followed suit with the Fifth Doctor. They made their way toward the TARDIS when both Time Lords gasped in pain, forcing them to stop.

"Ah!" the Fifth Doctor cried, clutching his chest as Turlough struggled to keep him up right, "We have to find…to find…"

"Find what?" Turlough asked him.

The Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter looked at each other before looking back to the two humans, "Our other self's".

…..West Common Road, Uxbridge, Earth…

A young women with short brown hair, dressed in a pink suit and purple, see through rain coat opened her front door and walked out, hurrying down her garden path as a small metal dog came down the drive way.

"Mistress, do not go out," K9 said to the women.

"What is it?" Sarah Jane asked, putting a pair of woollen gloves on.

"Danger, Mistress".

"What?" Sarah frowned.

"I can sense danger, Mistress," K9 repented, "Telepathic trace faint but rapidly increasing in strength," Sarah glanced up and down the street, "Do not go out".

"What kind of danger?" Sarah crouched beside K9, looking concerned.

"Positive data not yet available".

"Well, I can't stay home," Sarah sighed, glancing around again, "You have to give me a reason".

"Negative, Mistress," K9 replied, "Data analysis shows too many variables. Danger readings now becoming much higher, Mistress," Sarah looked around again, looking slightly alarmed, "Suggestion. Take me with you".

Sarah laughed, smiling as she looked back to K9, "I can't. Honestly, I can't. The car's in docks so I've got to go by bus".

"There is danger, Mistress," K9 tried again; "My sensors indicate it is now extreme. And the Doctor and the Hatter is involved".

Sarah rolled her eyes, standing, "Well, now I know you're imagining things," she adjusted her hand bag on her shoulder, turning and walking away, "See you later".

She opened her front gate, crossing the street and made her way toward the bus stop as K9 watched her from behind the gate, "Danger!" he called after her, "Doctor! Hatter! Mistress!"

….River Cam…

The Fourth Doctor, the Fourth Hatter, and Romana in her second body were drifting over the River Cam, punting. The Fourth Doctor was standing at the end of the boat, holding a large pole that he was using to push them along while Romana and the Fourth Hatter sat at the other end, reading a book each as they listened to the Fourth Doctor.

"Wordsworth," he was saying, "Rutherford, Christopher Smart, Andrew Marvell, Judge Jeffrey's, Owen Chadwick…."

"Who?" Romana frowned, looking up from her book.

"Owen Chadwick," the Fourth Hatter said, looking up from her own book and over to her fellow Time Lady, "I must make a mental note to visit him, charming fellow. I'm sure Tommy would like to meet him. Mr Chadwick was one of the greatest labourers in the history of Earth to have thought here".

"I didn't know that you knew him," the Fourth Doctor remarked, looking at the Fourth Hatter.

"Oh, yes," she nodded, smiling at him, "We go way back".

"And Newton, of course," Romana added after a moment.

"Oh, definitely Newton," the Fourth Doctor nodded, smiling.

"'For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,'" Romana quoted.

"That's right," the Fourth Doctor and Hatter nodded.

"So, Newton invented punting".

"Oh, yes," the Fourth Doctor said, ducking slightly as they want under a bridge, "There was no limit to Isaac's genius".

"Isn't it wonderful how something so primitive can be so…" Romana started, being cut off by the Fourth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter.

"Restful?" he suggested.

"I was going to say peaceful," the Fourth Hatter shrugged, "Same differences in the end".

"No, simple," Romana shook her head, "You just push in one direction and the boat goes in the other," they were quite for a while, taking in the surroundings, "Oh, I do love the spring. All the leaves, the colours".

"It's October," the Fourth Hatter corrected her, smiling slightly as she looked around, "Or though, I must agree with you, I've always been fond of spring".

"But I thought you said we were coming here for May week," Romana frowned, looking at the Fourth Doctor.

"I did," he replied, not looking at her, "May weeks in June".

Romana shook her head, "I'm confused".

"So was the TARDIS," the Fourth Hatter told her, looking amused.

"Oh, I do love the autumn," Romana remarked, looking around again, "All the leaves, the colours".

"I thought we already went over this?" the Fourth Hatter shook her head.

"Yes," the Fourth Doctor said, "Well, at least with something as simple as a punt nothing can go wrong," both Time Lady's exchanged looks, "No co-ordinates, no dimensional stabilisers, nothing. Just the water, the punt, a strong pair of hands," he winked at the Fourth Hatter at that point, making her roll her eyes, "And a pole".

No sooner had he finished talking, did the pole become stuck on something in the water, causing the Fourth Doctor to lose his grip on it. Before any of them could say anything, the cone like object swopped down from out of the sky and whisked them away, or tried too.

….…Back in the 5 Doctor's TARDIS…

The Fifth Doctor stood at the TARDIS console, sending it into flight while the Hatter clutched onto the other side of the console, Tegan and Turlough stood behind them so they could catch them should they fall.

The Doctor moved to the next side of the console but before he could do anything, he collapsed, falling backwoods into Turlough as he rushed forward to catch him, laying him on the floor.

"Oh no!" Tegan gasped.

It wasn't long before the Fourth Hatter joined him.

…..West Common Road, Uxbridge, Earth…

Sarah Jane finally arrived at the bus stop, shaking her head as she thought over what K9 had told her. She checked her watch, looking up and down the street for the bus when she noticed the cone object flying toward her. She started running backwards, almost tripping over before she turned but it was too late, the cone swept her up, leaving nothing but her handbag behind.

….… The 5 Doctor's TARDIS…..

The Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter were still lying on the console floor, unconscious. Turlough knelled beside both Time Lords and checked there pulses, glancing questioningly at Tegan.

"Two hearts," Tegan told him, he nodded, understanding.

"Well, there bodies are all right," Turlough sighed, looking back to the two unconscious Time Lords, "They just seem to be fading away," he stood, walking over to the console, leaning on it, "Why did they have to set the TARDIS moving? We were safe before they did that".

"Look!" Tegan suddenly gasped, Turlough quickly turned to see that the Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter seemed to be fading in and out, appearing to be slowly waking up as they did, "Doctor, Hatter?" she called, hoping to break through whatever was happening to them.

Behind them, the time rotor stopped working; both humans glanced at it, frowning.

"What's going on?" Tegan frowned, looking confused.

"We've landed," Turlough told her before leaning over and pressing something on the console, bring up the scanner to show a large tower standing on a huge rock in the middle of a grim planet.

Turlough looked at it for a moment before making his way to the other side of the console and flicking a switch, "According to the instruments," he said to Tegan, "We're nowhere, in no time".

Tegna frowned, sighing as she looked at the Time Lords, "The Doctor and the Hatter must have forgotten to reconnect something".

"No," Turlough shook his head, walking around to the other side of the console and pressing a button, "The instruments are working perfectly. They just won't tell us anything," he rubbed the back of his head, "The TARDIS is…paralysed".

"How did we get here?" Tegan demanded, "What do we do now?"

Turlough crouched down beside the Fifth Doctor and the Fourth Hatter, "We wait until the Doctor and the Hatter recovers," he decided.

Tegan ran her hand through her short hair, "And if it doesn't?" she sighed.

Turlough merely glanced at her.

First off, I would like to make clear that when the Fourth Hatter who is with the Fourth Doctor mentions Tommy, she is in fact talking about Tommy Connelly, her newest companion at that point in her time line while the other Fourth Hatter, who is with the Fifth Doctor, has just lost her companies April Jones, Katie Harrison, and Michael Andrew. I just wanted to clear that up, and it will be explained later on in the story a bit more on why that is. I hope you like it, please review :)
