UPDATE: Hi guys. To my normal readers, I am sorry to say that due to copyright issues I have to change how I do the episodes. Hopefully this doesn't take away from reading it, but I understand that it makes it less appealing. I wouldn't be doing this unless I had to. Apologies. Hope you can still enjoy it!

On the large blank screen, the words 'The Night of the Doctor' appeared and then the first video started to play. The Doctor sat fidgeting and shuffling around, unable to stay still. Terrified about what would be shown, she trusted the TARDIS but that didn't mean she was at all happy with the situation. There were so many things she didn't want her friends to know, especially her fam. She had tried so hard to try and keep them safe, not telling them nearly as much as she had told her companions in the past. All for nothing.

On a crashing spaceship a young woman (Cass) calls for help

The Doctor's eyes widened in shock and recognition. It had been a very long time but she still recognised the young girl on screen. Her companions looked at each other trying to see if any of them recognised the girl to try and understand which Doctor would be shown first, but none were able too. The Doctor curled up on herself more, she knew what was coming and she hated it. She hated that she hadn't been able to save Cass, hated how she had become a soldier and she hated her part in the war.

The computer offers medical help which she refuses

There were a few chuckles around the room. "I don't think you're going to get a choice." Mickey spoke up grinning.

Cass argues with the computer before the 8th Doctor appears

"Woah, is that you?" Bill asked, leaning forward to inspect the screen.

"Yes, my eight incarnation. Though not for much longer." The Doctor sighed. Her comment drew some concerned and curious looks but she didn't look away from the screen so the others decided it best not to question her. The Master shot her a look, he had a feeling he knew what was going to happen.

Cass reveals the rest fo the crew teleported off as they were screaming

"Oh, I like her." River grinned, winking at her wife but failed to get a reaction. Her grin shrunk, changing into a small frown. Whatever was going to happen couldn't be anything good for the Doctor to be still and staring blankly at the screen.

The Doctor takes charge as leads her to the back of the ship as it crashes last

"Be nice!" Donna berated the Doctor who smiled a little in surrender.

"I don't really think it makes much difference; the ship is still crashing no matter what end you are on." Rory pointed out, ever the sensible and practical one.

"It still gives you a little but more time, plus I had a plan Roman." The Doctor tried to defend herself one heartedly. It wasn't like her plan had worked, but at least she had had one. Not that it was particularly complicated, get back to the TARDIS before the ship crashed, it should have been fool-proof. Which in her case meant it obviously had to go wrong.

Cass introduces herself and they run to the back fo the ship with the sonic opening doors

"Ehm Doc, I don't think being on a crashing space ship is particularly lucky." Graham argued, with the vast majority of the room nodding in agreement.

The Tardis is revealed

"Oh, so that's your plan." Martha nodded to herself, it seemed so simple but she had a bad feeling it wouldn't be. It never was with the Doctor.

The Doctor tries his normal Tardis intro but Cass isn't happy at the reveal

"She knew what a TARDIS was?" Rose asked curious and surprised. When she had travelled with the Doctor it was usually only his enemies that knew what it was.

"Yes, the Time Lords were very well known back then." The Doctor bit her lip, before taking a deep breath. She would have to tell them. River and Jack were already starting to look suspicious. "This was during the Time War; everyone knew who the Time Lords were because they were fighting everywhere. This was before I put up the Time Lock to try and prevent some of the destruction."

Many of her older companions nodded in understanding, most had heard bits and pieces about the war. The newer ones, her current fam and Bill, however, looked even more confused.

"Time War? What are you talking about?" Ryan asked. The companions that knew about the war looked at him in a bit of surprise, did they really not know about the war?

"The Last Great Time War was a war between my people and the Daleks. It was raging across all of time and space and it was destroying the universe. Whole planets were obliterated, species went extinct, trillions died. For a long time, I refused to fight but this, this is what dragged me back home to fight in the war. To end the war I did something terrible, horrifying. Or at least I thought I did." The Doctor tried her best to explain without getting lost in the memories of al the horrors she had seen and done. The older companions listened on in sympathy and curiosity for her last statement. The newer ones though, just looked shocked and a tad scared to know what she had done to end the war.

Cass steps back from the Doctor

"I'm guessing she knew what you were and was not happy about it." Jack asked the Doctor who grimaced in response. He was the one that had the best understanding of this in some ways. The Time Agency had legends about the Time Lords and they weren't particularly nice ones.

Cass realises the Doctro is a Time Lord and refuses his help as he is part of the Time War, despite the Doctor's promises he isn't involved

The companions were all taken aback by that statement and most looked ready to argue with the screen but the Doctor interrupted their oncoming protests.

"It was during the war and in wars anyone can become a monster." The comment was quiet, drawing sympathetic and concerned looks but she refused to meet any of their eyes. She risked a quick glance at the Master who met her eye for a second, the pair of them were the only ones that truly understood what the Time Lords had become during the war. Her friends had no understanding of what they were like. They all thought the Master was the mad renegade but in fact most of the Time Lords had a closer resemblance to him than the Doctor, especially during the war.

River and Jack shared a look. Both had heard stories, but to see how people reacted to the Doctor was different all together, she may not always be welcome everywhere but this was something different.

Cass closes herself into the ship determined to die and bring the Doctor down with her despite his pleading

"You idiot." The Mater remarked, trying to appear casual but the comment had slipped out.

"For once I agree. Were you trying to get yourself killed? She clearly wasn't going to come with you, you tried but you can't save everyone and you shouldn't die trying to save someone that doesn't want to be saved!" River snapped at the Doctor, frustrated with her wife's self-destructive tendencies.

"I couldn't just leave her." The Doctor protested feebly, but was met with her wife's angry glare.

The spaceship crashes on a planet, Doctor and Cass still onboard

The majority of the room shot concerned looks at the Doctor, worrying about how she had survived. She clearly had, to be in the room with them but it didn't make them worry any less. The whole video was unsettling, having to see the Doctor before any of them knew her and the one from around the war as well.

Ohila arrives and tells of the Doctor's death

"Karn? And what are they talking about? You're obviously not dead, you're here." Amy questioned; eyes narrowed ready to go on the attack if necessary.

"Karn is Gallifrey's sister planet. And yes, I was dead, they brought me back to induce a regeneration." The Doctor shrugged, sometimes she wished that she had just died back then, it would have been so much simpler.

The Doctor wakes and calls for Cass who Ohila reveals to be dead. She also reveals he has only a few minutes before he dies too

"You really can't ever stay quiet can you Doctor?" Clara smirked, glad to see the Doctor on screen at least a little bit back to normal. The Doctor managed a quick grin, it was true and she wouldn't deny it. Amy and Rory rolled their eyes in sync, both thinking about how hyperactive the Doctor had been during the Cube fiasco.

The Doctor realises they're on Karn

The Master chuckled, being the only one who actually understood what the pair on screen were actually talking about. The rest of the room did crack a few smiles though for the more typical Doctor like behaviour.

Ohila speaks about controlling regeneration

"They can control it?" Rose blinked, surprised.

"Most Time Lords can to some degree. Although Karn has turned it into some sort of science. The Doctor just struggles with it." The Master smirks, shooting a glance at the Doctor. Both had the stray thought about whether that was due to her true nature.

The Doctor turned to River to try and get support but she just grinned teasingly. "Oh, don't look at her dear. I'm sure she has better control than you from what I've heard." The Master continued on, interrupting her as she was about to add another protest. "Do I need to mention Romana?" The Doctor pouted slightly but gave up trying to defend herself. Somehow the comment about River had gone largely unnoticed by those that don't know her.

Ohila wants the Doctor to join the war, the Doctor doesn't want to

Her friends looked at her in concern, which seemed to be a permeant feature on their faces when they looked at her now. "Why did you refuse to fight?" Yaz asked cautiously, despite her apprehension she was curious to know more about her friend.

The Doctor bit her lip, contemplating her answer. "A lot of reasons. I was a renegade as far as Gallifrey was concerned. They only liked me when I made myself useful and that wasn't particularly often. I didn't like being used and I felt like I didn't owe them anything. I thought that I could do a better job staying on the fringes and helping people not fighting on the front lines, I made a terrible soldier." She scoffed before steeling herself for the last bit of truth, the truth they deserved to know. "And I didn't want to go home just to find my family and friends dead, I wasn't sure how I would cope. Before the war, I at least knew they were mostly safe but after it started, I had no way of knowing who was still alive. I was scared."

"It's alright to be scared. I don't know myself but from what I've seen and heard between you and grandad I don't need to guess that war is terrifying. And your family, of course you were scared for your family, that's normal." Donna somehow managed to toe a thin line of reassurance and exasperation with her apparent idiocy.

The Doctor nodded in thanks at Donna, trying to push down the wave of emotion that threatened to overtake her with the memories. No one was brave enough to ask about her family, dreading the answer. The Master glared at the floor, he had his own memories of war and his family and they weren't pretty either.

They discuss his name and the meaning

She shared a small smile with Clara, both thinking about to her time debating the issue as Eyebrows and then her speech to Missy in the graveyard. She was the Doctor, yes, but that didn't mean she was a good man nor that she was a bad one. It meant she tried her best to be kind and to help.

Ohila continues to pressure the Doctor into joining the war as he looks at a dead Cass. He states he'd rather die then join the war

A few companions flinched at the bluntness of her statement. The Doctor grimaced, she had been so determined back then but had wavered at the sight of Cass and gone into the hell they called the war. She came out a different person. She had seen so many wars during her time as a traveller but it was different seeing it on your own planet and at that scale.

Ohila tries to guilt the Doctro into it by talking about Cass

Clara had been watching Ohila during the video, trying to place why she seemed so familiar than it hit her. "She was there on Gallifrey during the whole ... thing." She waved her hand trying to encompass the mess with the confession dial and the Doctor's return to Gallifrey.

"Yes, she was." The Doctor nodded; the pair ignored the confused eyes of the rest of the room.

The Doctor decides. A warrior is needed not a Doctor

"There's always a need for a doctor." River muttered, eyes pleading with the Doctor who smiled sadly at her shaking her head.

The Doctor prays to past companions as he accepts the elixir cup

The Doctor looked down at the floor in remembrance of all those friends she has lost, those that had let her and those she left. Even if they had left for better lives, she still missed them.

"Amy you asked me once who I believed in." The Doctor smiled sadly at the Ponds. Amy nodded quickly curious where she was going with this. "I believe in you. My friends, companions, the people that travel with me. You all change me as much as I change you, you all teach me so much. You've always been the best of me." She nodded almost absently minded to herself. "I look in on everyone who has travelled with me. They don't always see me but I do watch them, make sure they're happy. Everyone I can, from the first to all of you." She leaned forward from her seat, hands fiddling with the edge of her coat, offering a weary smile to her friends. They offered sad smiles back, happy that she didn't forget them but wondering somewhere in the back of their minds when she had looked in on them.

The Doctor drinks the elixir and regenerates revealing the War Doctor

Before anyone could say anything, not that many of them could verbalise the feelings pooling in their stomach the words 'Day of the Doctor' came up on the large screen. They all faced the screen nervous and unsure of what would appear next.

On Earth at Coal Hill Secondary School, a policeman walks past the scrapyard where it all started and a sign shows the Chairman of the School Governors is a familiar I Chesterton

"Wait, Chesterton? Ian Chesterton?" The Doctor looked up at Clara, knowing she was the only one around at the time, being a teacher at the school. She had a sinking feeling she knew what this video would be about.

"Yeah, you know him?" Clara watched the Doctor, trying to gauge why she knew her boss.

"He was Susan's science teacher at Coal Hill in the 60's and got curious about us. He was one of the first humans to travel with me after I sort of kidnapped him along with another teacher – Barbara. Last I heard they got married, had their own kids and grandkids." The Doctor smiled softly stuck in old memories. That was a long time ago.

"Susan?" She didn't even know who had asked that.

"My granddaughter." No one asked anymore questions thankfully. She started at the screen trying to supress old memories.

Clara is teaching a class before a note from her Doctro arrives. She leave son her motorbike and finds the Tardis on an empty country road, she drives straight in

"Oh, is this -?" Clara asked, realising what the video was but wanting to check with the Doctor. It made more sense now, taking the first video into consideration.

"Yeah, it's that I think." The Doctor smiled sadly at her, taking a moment to take her in. It had been a while since she had last seen Clara, let alone had all her memories of her.

The 11th Doctor is in the Tardis reading

"Is that really you, Doc?" Graham asked watching the screen bemused. "I know these guys have mentioned it and even you said about it when we first met you but, it's a bit hard to get your head around."

"Yep, that was me Graham. That was my face two regenerations ago, I believe my delightful friends over there referred to him as Chinny." She answered grinning.

Clara clicks her fingers closing the doors

"When have you been able to get the Tardis to open and close like that?" Rose asked.

"Have they not always been able to do that?" Amy answered. The pair, and everyone else, looked to the Doctor.

"Since just before Pinstripes regenerated into Chinny. Donna you were there, the library, remember? River showed me. Didn't really start doing it until Chinny though." The Doctor nodded at said companion.

The Doctor and Clara talk excitedly about plans before an alert interrupts them. Interference is detected

Clara and the Doctor shared a bittersweet smile, both thinking back to happier days before everything really went crazy. Back when travelling and trouble was constant but not quite so overwhelming.

CLARA: What's happening?

The Tardis has taken off but the engines aren't on. A helicopter has grabbed it with a hook. At the Tower of London Osgood brings Kate Stewart her phone

"Oh, it's Kate." Amy grinned; she hadn't seen Kate since the whole cube invasion. Being stuck in New York in the past made it kind of hard to meet up with old friends. She was finding it a bit weird watching Clara interact with her Doctor but she knew it was necessary, they always needed someone and she had told him to find someone.

The Doctor is calling as they go over the Thames. UNIT found the Tardis and are bringing it in, not knowing that the Doctor was in it

"How do manage to get yourself into these situations Doctor?" Jack laughed at the put out look on her face. She was too busy resisting the urge to stick her tongue out and enjoying the burst of joy at being with her friends and family again to really mean it though.

The phone call continues, and the Doctor falls out the door as Clara grabs his feet, he puts Kate on hold as he changes position

"You're completely mad." Martha shook her head, smiling widely.

They arrive at Trafalgar Square where they are greeted by soldiers, Osgood and Kate - UNIT is back

There was a round of snickers and the Doctor grinned, it had definitely sounded better in her head.

"Lethbridge-Stewart?" The Master spoke up for the first time since being banished to his armchair.

"Yes, the Brigadier's daughter. I'm sure you remember dear old Alistair." She smirked at him, enjoying how he shuffled in his chair uncomfortably. They both remembered all too well the days when she had worked for UNIT when she was banished to Earth in her third regeneration as well as several other instances.

"I thought I had killed her, back on that plane during 3W?" The Master remembered.

"Nope, you are an idiot and turned her father into one of your Cybermen. He saved her. I bet you are happy you didn't meet him; I think he would have tried to shoot you again. Oh wait, he did. Besides this is before that." She grinned smugly at the Master who decided to ignore her. The companions who weren't aware of what they were talking about watched the conversation confused and concerned. Especially those that knew the Master/Missy.

Kate reveals he has orders from Elizabeth the 1st

"Didn't she want to kill you the last time we met?" Martha spoke up, smiling at the new Doctor.

"Complicated but yes. I think I kind of deserved it this time though." The Doctor grinned back at Martha with a real smile, it was good to see her happy. She also ignored the Master's muttered comments about how she usually deserved it.

The credentials are inside the National Gallery not the message in the Doctro's hands. He likes Osgood's familiar scarf

"It is as horrible as the one you wore in your fourth face Doctor. You have no sense of fashion, dear." The Master smirked at her smugly.

"First of all, I am pretty sure that is my scarf, no I don't really know how she got it. Second, I have a great fashion sense. Besides it isn't like you can talk, do you not remember all your horrible fashion choices. Remember the capes? And Missy looked like an Edwardian/Victorian Mary Poppins!" She glared back at him. Both of them ignoring Bill's snickering.

"I'm sorry sweetie but I have to agree with him. You have a horrible fashion sense and everyone here knows it." The Doctor crossed her arms over her chest with a humph, not actually upset by the betrayal (well, only a little). Trying to ignore everyone's laughs but she couldn't stop a small smile breaking across her face still happy that everyone was together and safe for once.

Kate and Osgood discuss their cover story as Clara and the Doctor discuss Elizabeth the first and UNIT with normal levels of avoidance from the Doctor

"You always do that!" Clara sighed annoyed.

"Do what?"

"Avoid the question."

The Doctor introduces UNIT and they argue about whether he has a job or not

"You have a job? Yeah right Doctor. You can't even sit still for five minutes." Amy scoffed grinning at her.

"I do! I swear. Well did. Last I heard UNIT was having financial troubles but I used to work with them back in the 70's? 80's? Something like that. I was scientific advisor. Martha, Donna you should believe me. Both of you have seen me work for UNIT." She explained smugly.

"I don't think anyone really believes you, Doc." Graham laughed, becoming more comfortable with the strangers surrounding them but still a bit unsure about what was going on. She knew the three of her fam were curious to learn more about her. Probably like everyone else in the room.

"Unfortunately, I can vouch for her, she did work for them. Semi unwillingly as she was exiled to Earth for a while without any knowledge to repair her Tardis." The Master smirked at her, undoubtedly remembering those days so long ago.

"It wasn't unwilling, I just didn't like being stuck in one time and place for so long. I enjoyed working with UNIT, mostly. Besides, you spent a lot of time around as well annoying me and failing to take over the Earth."

They find a painting of an alien Citadel on fire and under attack

The look on both Time Lord's faces was intense. The Doctor had been expecting it but the Master was completely taken aback to see it. They glanced at each other before the Doctor remembered what he had done to Gallifrey and turned sharply away.

The painting is Elizabeth's credentials and the title of the painting - Gallifrey Falls

"I've only heard rumours about the painting. Which is the real title?" River asked glancing in concern at her wife, having an idea what they might see in the video.

"Both and neither, you'll see." She smiled sadly back at her wife with a nod, answering the unasked question. She had told River about many things during their twenty-four years of domestic bliss on Darillium.

The Doctor reveals it is the fall of Arcadia, Gallifrey's second city and should not be here

"That's the Time War?" Martha asked quietly. The Doctor nodded sadly, they would all be seeing a lot more than she would have liked. There were too many bad memories from that time and her method of running from them had been doing quite fine until the TARDIS had decided to interfere.

The three newest companions shared a look. They didn't know much about the Time War apart from what the Doctor had already explained but they recognised the word Gallifrey – the Doctor's home. Was this why the Doctor didn't want to take them to her home? But what about the place they had been on the other side of the border. Was this how it had gotten destroyed? Things weren't quite fitting together.

It's a 3D oil painitng - Time Lord art. Bigger on the inside and frozen moment of real time

"Woah, that's so cool. Why did you never show me these kinds of cool things?!" Bill piped up from her place on a beanbag.

"I took you to cool places! Didn't you enjoy the Frost Fair?"

"We almost got eaten by a giant fish thing!"

"Yeah, but we didn't and we had some fun, plus I took you to lots of other places Bill!"

"Yes, when you were supposed to be guarding the vault and shouldn't have left the university!" Nardole broke in arms crossed as he tried to give her a stern glare.

"Oh, shut up Nardole, it was fine."

"University?" Martha was the one to ask. Everyone had watched the conversation with smiles on their faces remembering all the cool places the Doctor had taken them. Plus, all the trouble they eventually found.

"Yeah, I taught at St Luke's University in Bristol for 70 years, a few years or so ago from my perspective, as Eyebrows."

"Yep, she? He? They were my tutor. His lectures were crazy." Bill added smiling at the Doctor.

"Why did you stick around like that? You couldn't even manage a year with us when those cube things attacked." Rory pointed out.

"Complicated. Unfortunately, I'm sure it will be explained at some point now hush Rory the Roman!"

The Doctor talks about how he was there but not him - the Warrior

She glanced around the room, refusing to meet anybody's eyes. She had run for so long, trying to get away from that incarnation, the soldier, the warrior. She was conflicted, on one side they would see that she hadn't destroyed her home, that she hadn't committed double genocide but on the other her newer friends would learn about what she had almost done, about the kind of person she was really. And she would have to share the Master's destruction of Gallifrey.

She glanced at the Master. All the time she had fought in the war and she hadn't known he was alive; didn't know he had been resurrected to fight. She wanted so badly to hate him for everything but she just couldn't. There was too much history between them. The Master decidedly didn't look away from the screen, refusing to meet her eyes in fear of what lay beneath them. Pity? Accusation? Hatred? Understanding? He didn't know what would be worst.

The rest of the room felt uneasy watching the screen, the older companions had heard about the war and knew to some degree what the Doctor had done. But to have to watch it was a whole different thing. Add in her comments about thinking she had done it and they weren't quite sure if they really knew what they were going to see. The newer companions watched conflicted with everything going on. They were learning so much more about the Doctor and they were scared to find out what she had done that scared her so much, that made her hate herself so much.

We're on Arcadia during the Time War. It's carnage with Daleks and Time Lords fighting

"Oh god, Doctor." Rose gaped at her. "I know you told me about it a bit, but I never imagined -." She stopped, unable to finish her question. Everyone watched the screen in horror. Most of them had heard at least a bit about the war but they had never imagined they would see any of it. They had never really wanted too, many of them had seen war zones amongst their travels with the Doctor and she didn't really flinch at them. Therefore, they knew logically that the Time War had to have been truly horrible, indescribable.

A solider gives the High Council a message - Arcadia has fallen - as he spies the Doctor's Tardis

"It's hard to believe that's you, especially compared to the ones I first met." Mickey spoke up from his place beside Martha, an arm around his wife.

"Yes, it is a bit of a change. But that's the warrior. I've been trying my hardest to be the Doctor since." She shrugged, then another thought occurred to her. "Wait, you find that a harder change than this one?" She smiled slightly, Mickey just shrugged in response, his own grin breaking across his face.

The Warrior want the soldier's gun

"Gun? You hate guns." Rory said. The others clearly had similar thoughts form the way they were looking at her.

"It was a war, plus it wasn't for that reason. Just watch." The Doctor frowned in memory of the war. Her eyes were glued to the screen.

The Warrior leaves a message as the Daleks try to attack him

The companions smiled a bit to see the TARDIS taking out the Daleks and the people escaping. The Master rolled his eyes, as soon as the Doctor was around the Daleks could think of no one else.

Inside the Citadel a council has been convened to discuss the Warrior's message

"A madman with his box." Amy smiled at the Doctor, remembering meeting her both the first time and when she came back late (both times). "Well, madwoman now." The Doctor grinned back at her.

The war discussion continues and then its revealed a weapon called the Moment is missing from the vaults. It's a unique weapon as it became sentient

"What kind of crazy weapons did your species make?" Ryan asked incredulously.

"Lots of horrible ones. It was a terrible war."

In a desert the Warrior walks and thinks of the end of the war

Everyone, bar the two Time Lords who exchanged a careful glance remembering the war, had their eyes stuck to the screen in a mix of horror and grief. Many of them had heard about the Time War and knew what the Doctor had done but it was different having to see it and the state the Doctor was in. The newer companions who didn't know about the war or the details of the Doctor's decision to end it were apprehensive about what they were going to see.

The Warrior enters a barn

"Wait, that's the barn from when you were a child-." Clara spoke unthinking before freezing at looking at the Doctor like a deer in headlights.

"How do you know about that?" The Doctor asked her cautiously.

"It doesn't matter." When the Doctor went to speak again, Clara added, "I'm sure you'll find out at some point now let's keep watching."

The Warrior tries to turn the Moment on

No one wanted to make a joke, too stuck on the horror and unease of what was going on.

A blond woman that looks like Rose appears as the Doctor is distracted by a noise

"But that's me!" Rose spoke up, sitting up and staring intensely at the screen.

"No, it just took your shape. I'm pretty sure it'll be explained soon." The Doctor answered without moving her own eyes from the screen. This was bringing up too many bad memories.

The Moment and the Doctor argue, as he hasn't realised who she is. The Warrior walked miles to reach this barn

"You got to admit that's at least a bit funny Doc." She decidedly ignored Jack's chuckles. She knew he was just trying to break the tense atmosphere but she was stuck in bad memories.

The Moment box is activating

"Always trying to save people Doctor." Clara smiled sadly at her.

The Moment box is hot and the Doctor finally works out who she is. She reveals she chose his form based on his past, or future

"She's like Sexy! She kept getting confused with tenses too. I guess it's hard when it comes to time travel." Amy pointed out.

The Warrior denies having a future. The Moment declares herself Rose Tyler then changes to settle on Bad Wolf

"Is that really what I looked like on the satellite?" Rose asked curious, still a bit uncomfortable seeing herself-but-not-herself on screen

"Yes, a bit, it's better you don't remember though. We'll likely see it at some point."

The Warrior refuses to be called the Doctor - he doesn't deserve it

"Doctor –." Jack was the one to speak up gingerly, as if he was speaking to a scared animal. She didn't like that comparison.

"Jack, it was a long time ago. I'm fine. Just keep watching." She ignored the doubtful glances everyone gave her but was thankful no one else spoke up. She exchanged a look with Clara, she was the only one who knew what happened in detail. She wasn't happy with the idea that the others would find out she hadn't destroyed Gallifrey. Well, she was. She just wasn't looking forward to having to explain that it had been destroyed again, and by the Master.

The Moment reveals the Doctor's plan - to use the moment to kill the Daleks and Time Lords alike. She mentions consequences, he doesn't want to survive

"Oh sweetie." River moved from her place beside her parents and kidnapped her wife. Picking her up and pulling her into a hug. "Don't you dare say that, ever. Don't even think it!"

"I'm sorry River, I didn't want to survive if no one else was. I didn't want to live with the guilt." She signed into the hug, hiding her face and ignore the urge to just collapse and cry in her wife's embrace. She had missed being held by River. River slowly pulled back, leaning in to kiss her forehead before sitting down next to the three current companions with the Doctor in her lap, arms wrapped tight around her wife so she couldn't escape no matter how much she wriggled. She noticed for the first time that she was shorter than her.

"River!" She only received a hush from the person in question and she crossed her arms annoyed before looking determinedly back at the screen. She missed the glances that River exchanged with most of the other residents of the room.

The Moment decides his punishment is to survive then asks how many children are on Gallifrey and aks if he wants to see his future

The Doctor turned and hid her face in River's shoulder, not wanting to remember any of the horrors of the war or what she had done/thought she had done. River brought her arms closer around her wife, whispering comforts in her ears until she looked back up to the screen.

The Moment opens a portal to the future - they are suprised with a fez

"Let me guess that was the one we knew?" Amy laughed at the pout she received from the Doctor who made quite a picture sitting on her wife's lap. Rory, River and Clara laughed with her.

Back in the National Gallery - The Doctor opens the letter from Elizabeth the first calling the Doctor her husband

"Husband? Doctor, you mangy dog." Of course, it was Jack who smirked at her but the others laughed enjoying a bit of comic relief in a tense atmosphere.

"Shut up." She glanced behind to check on her wife, before continuing. "River stop grinning, I haven't been married nearly as many times as you have."

The Doctor, Kate and Clara leave and find a picture of the 10th Doctor and Elizabeth the 1st. McGillop answers his phone.

"There's the Spaceman that we knew. You look as stupid as ever." Donna shared a laugh with Mickey, Martha, Rose and Jack, ignoring her protests about her fashion sense.

In England 1562, The 10th Doctor and Elizabeth are horse riding and on a picnic before the Doctor asks Elizabeth to marry him

"Bit forward Doctor." Jack laughed.

"Oi! I had a reason. Keep watching." Despite her protests, the Doctor grinned at the (other) immortal time traveller.

Elizabeth accepts but the Doctor only asked as he thought she was a shape-shifting alien

"A shape-shifting alien from outer space impersonating Queen Elizabeth the first. Why am I not even surprised?" Rory sighed as everyone, bar the Master, laughed. They were used to weird stuff with the Doctor.

"The Royal family has no luck, remember the werewolf and Queen Victoria?" Rose grinned at the Doctor who grinned back. The others watched confused about what they presumed was an adventure the pair had gone on.

"How can I forget? That's the reason Torchwood was founded. We were messing around while also trying to not get killed, and she couldn't forgive that."

His device dings

"You love that device way too much." Martha laughed at her and her protests. She was starting to think the TARDIS had brought them all here for her companions to bully her. They seemed to be getting on terrifyingly well, she wasn't sure she could survive the combined power of them all.

The Doctor explains the machine that goes ding

"I needed one of those. Would have been helpful for Torchwood. Doctor?"

"Not a chance Jack. I'm never giving Torchwood anymore alien tech, they have too much as it is."

He still thinks she is a Zygon, turns out it is the horse. The Doctor has a moment of panic about being king then they run

"It always ends up with the running with you doesn't it." Rose grinned at her, her question more a statement. "Glad to see that doesn't change."

"So, it's always like that then?" Yaz asked, smiling when she received enthusiastic, and some exasperated, nods from all the previous companions.

They run and the Doctor tries to vaguely explain the zygon, but focuses more on the loss of the horse

"Priorities Doctor." Clara sighed, she always missed stuff. She may have been a genius but she/he (they?) could be so stupid at times.

The Doctor bemoans messing up history again as the pair split up

"When do you ever pay attention to history?" Amy laughed with the other companions.

"I try my hardest!" She ignored the scoffs she received.

The Doctor gives a speech to a perfectly normal rabbit

"Well done Martian!" Donna practically cackled with laughter alongside the rest of the room. Even the Master chuckled a little, although he tried to hide it. The Doctor definitely didn't pout.

"You have a lot of titles Doc." Graham pointed out once he finished chuckling with everyone else.

"Oh, she has lots more-." The Master started, a crazed smirk on his face which was cut off abruptly by a pillow hitting him in the face. His expression (a weird contortion between confusion, anger and pure bewilderment) caused all the companions to laugh which they then tried to hide when he glared at them. The Doctor didn't even bother to hide her laugh, she wouldn't miss the pillow. She had River after all.

The Doctor finds Elizabeth and explains the zygon probably just wants the planet

"Oh, just the normal than." Rory nodded sarcastically drawing laughs from the other companions.

The Doctor's machine isn't helping as the pair argue about who is the real one

The companions laughed a bit to see the Doctor frustrated with his home-made device as the Queen and Zygon argued behind him.

The vortex appears in the air - a fez appears as the three step back

"Look at you, confusing your past self, like the idiot you are." Amy laughed at her. "You really had a weird obsession with them back then."

"Hey Pond. Fezzes are cool!"

"No, they really aren't sweetie."

Back in the National Gallery - the Doctor is suspicious about the sand on the floor and statues covered in dust sheets. He also revela shis age - 1200

"1200? Last time I saw you, you said were about 900." While Martha was the one to ask the question, all her old companions looked at her.

"It had been a while for me." The Doctor grimaced, that was putting it lightly and that was before she spent 900 years defending Trenzalore.

"How old are you now then?" It was Donna that asked looking concerned

Before she even got a chance to answer, Clara did for her. "She was well over 2000 last time I saw her slash 4.5 billion because she's a loving and stubborn idiot. I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know anymore and will just lie to us. I think they've been lying about their age for a long time." Clara raised an eyebrow at her.

"4.5 Billion?" The Master asked, looking shocked with his own question.

"You didn't hear? I thought you would have known, you usually do. Plus, Rassilon probably would have bragged about it. It's a long story and I don't want to talk about it now. I'm sure it will come up at some point."

"Doctor." He glared at her. For a second, she thought she could detect a bit of concern in his eyes.

"My confession dial. That's all I'm telling you. Besides does it even matter? Both of us know that I don't have any idea how old I really am." She glared right back. He was the reason she was so doubtful about her age and her past. He nodded at her slowly, she knew he was giving up for the moment but not forever. He would find out at some point.

She turned back to Donna who had asked the question originally. "I lost track of my age a long time ago, I've lied about it a lot too. Don't always use the same definition of a year either, depends where I am I the universe sometimes. I am definitely several thousand years old though, maybe billions depending on perspectives. Honestly, I don't know. I'm just old at this point." She finished grimly.

"It really has been a long time for you then." Rose spoke up quietly. The Doctor glanced up hurriedly at her but didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say.

The Doctor demands the sand is analysed while Osgood barely keeps it together. The go further in and the Doctor can't resist the fez

"What is it with the fez?" Clara asked the Doctor mixed between exasperated and nostalgic.

"Amy and River weren't there to destroy my fez. I was enjoying it while I could."

"Do you always announce your presence with a fez in this regeneration?" Donna asked, shaking her head at the current Doctor who smiled sheepishly but shook her head. "Fezzes are cool."

More 3D paintings but the glass has been broken from the inside - they are just landscapes but the figures that used to be in there have disappeared despite nothing having left the under-gallery

"Of course, there's trouble when you're around Doc. That's one thing we've learned, you act like a magnet for it." Graham spoke up, breaking the uncomfortable atmosphere that had descended. A few chuckles were scattered across the room.

The Time fissure opens. The Doctor complains and almost remembers before throwing the fez swiftly followed by himself into the fissure

"Absolutely no care. Just flinging yourself into trouble like normal. Just wizard, Martian. No wonder you always find trouble!" Donna rolled her eyes at the Doctor, who at least had the decency to look a bit guilty.

Ignoring Clara and Kate's protests, we are back in 1562. The Two Doctors meet and insult each other

"I swear whenever you meet yourself, all you do is insult each other!" Clara threw her hands up exasperated.

The Master chuckled. "At least you weren't there when there was five of them." The Doctor glared at him for bringing that up before answering Clara. "How would you like to meet yourself from several years ago?" When no one could provide her an answer she settled smugly, turning back to the screen.

They continue insulting each other, bringing out the sonic screwdrivers

"Two of you together, you don't even want to know what I'm thinking." Jack grinned manically at the Doctor, winking. She rolled her eyes at him and mouthed 'stop it'.

Still arguing, a bit of judging from 11 about the situation 10 is in

"You realise you are talking to yourself, right?" Mickey laughed.

"Oi, I do know, Mickey the idiot!"

Time fissure reappears, the Doctor's put on their glasses

"How can you be so similar and yet so different at the same time?" Rose grinned with all the other companions. Each remembering the Doctor they knew and comparing them both to the ones on screen and the one watching with them.

"Wait! Are those my glasses?" Amy shouted before the video could continue raising an eyebrow at the Doctor.

"You left them behind! It's not like I could give them back." The Doctor tried futilely to defend herself, then she continued softer with a sad look and puppy eyes at the red-headed Scot. "Besides they reminded me of you." Amy smiled softly at her in understanding, she wasn't angry really.

he Elizabeth's to run in different directions - they do but only after kissing him

"And you complain at me for flirting!"

"You flirt with everything Jack!"

We can hear Clara through the fissure - the Doctor tells them where he is and who he is with

"Oh yeah that isn't confusing to anyone who doesn't know about regeneration." Rose grinned happy to see her (second) Doctor on screen.

They throw the fez to test is he can come back through - nothing. Kate leaves already on a call to try and find some files. She is being watched

"First of all; she's in trouble. Second of all, why is there an incident file for that kind of thing?" Rory spoke up hesitantly, unsure if he really wants the answer.

"Like the Master said, there has been a few incidents, one was an accident with five of me and the Brigadier was around at the time." The Doctor smiled sadly a bit lost in memories.

The Doctors' argue more - lack of memories

"How can you forget something like that?" Mickey asked incredulously.

"Timelines. You aren't supposed to meet yourself so when you do the memories become very hazy, if you remember anything at all. At least until your oldest-self lives through it." The Doctor explained.

They both attempt to reverse the polarity with their sonics - accomplishing nothing

"You're a right idiot you know that Spaceman."

"Well, I'm sorry. I wasn't exactly prepared for a time-space fissure on either day. Plus, crossing timelines always makes your memories fuzzy for the protection of the timelines as I just mentioned." The Doctor hmphed.

The Warrior arrives, fez in hand, looking for the Doctor, thinks the two Doctors before him are Companions

"Well, he's in for a surprise. I can't believe past-you thought two of your future faces were companions. Wait, yes I can." Rose laughed at him.

"To be fair, my previous incarnations were mostly old men. I'm surprised it took me so long to be a woman actually." The Doctor looked down at herself, her face scrunched up in confusion.

The reveal they are both Doctors, the Warrior is not impressed

"Well in a way you have, I guess. If that's one of your old faces and you die before you change." Bill tilted her head in question which the Doctor just answered with a smile.

They argue and then get surrounded by soldiers looking for the Doctor

"Trouble as normal. Wish I was there, it would definitely be my lucky day."

"Oi, stop it you!"

In the Under Gallery - Clara and Kate talk about there being three Doctors, scaring the soldiers, as 10 and 11 use their sonic screwdrivers

"He's right sweetie. How on Earth did you come up with the idea?" River smirked at her sheepish wife who refused to meet her eyes, blushing slightly when she remembered she was still sitting on River's lap.

Clara becomes a witch threatening to turn the soldiers into frogs after prompting from 11

The Doctor groaned while her current companions snickered, it hadn't been funny at the time but looking back at the situation it was just a bit.

"Why are you lot giggling like school children?" Donna asked curious.

"The Doctor took us to Jacobean England to solve a mystery and had some trouble with the fact she is female now so you can imagine how they would react to her." Yaz grinned.

"Did you get tried as a witch?!" Jack practically cackled while the other companions joined her fam in snickering. She was quite an interesting person, she got away with it mostly as a man but it would be very different as a woman, especially in certain time periods.

"Oi! I got dunked in a lake! It was freezing." The Doctor pouted but it only drew more laughter from her companions.

Timey-wimey and making words up

"Are you seriously trying to get yourself out of trouble with yourself by blaming yourself?" Martha asked exasperated and disbelieving, yet resigned to the insanity that was the Doctor.

"Maybe?"

Elizabeth show up, the Doctor's get arrested and brought to the Tower. 11 changes his tune and gets excited about beng taken to the Tower of London, emphasising it for their listening audience in the future

"Seeing as that sounds bad, I am going to guess you have a plan as you don't look very worried about being locked in the tower." Bill pointed out and received a proud smile and nod from the Doctor.

More arguing between Doctors - particulalry about 10's choice of shoes

There was a general mutter of "yes they are" from around the room.

"Like I said, you spend all your time insulting yourself. Should we be worried?" Clara laughed but the question had a bit of an edge to it, but no one wanted to darken the current light atmosphere.

Kate reveals her office is the Tower of London - explaining 11's excitement

"Oh, so you do have a plan for once." Amy raised an eyebrow at her. "That's rare."

"I'm guessing she made it all up as she went with you lot too then?" Ryan asked the other companions who all nodded back in varying forms of amusement and exasperation.

The Doctor's are locked in the Tower, complaining largely

"How is writing a message to the future going to help. They can't fly the TARDIS." Mickey asked.

"No, they can't fly the TARDIS, just watch Mickey. It will make sense eventually."

They try the sonic on the door but it is wood

"Next time you get one you need to make sure it has a wood setting. The amount of times that has caused trouble. Seriously Martian!" Donna exclaimed.

10 asks why the Warrior came looking for them - they can't see the Moment

"So, you couldn't see her then? Only the one from the war?" Bill asked. The Doctor nodded.

DOCTOR: Oi, Chinny?
DOCTOR 10: Yeah, you do have a chin.

[Under Gallery]

(The stone dust is being analysed.)
OSGOOD: Marble, granite. A lot of different stone, but none of it from the fabric of the building. It's like somebody smashed up a lot of old statues. Are there any missing?

More arguing in the Tower before in the future, Osgood analyses the sand - its stone dust, statue dust

Most of the companions were starting to guess what happened and were hoping the pair of scientists got out.

The statues attack - Zygons had smashed them and hidden under the sheets

"That's not good."

Osgood runs but a zygon shifts into her, Osgood escapes narrowly

"Good for her!" Martha cheered along with the other. Glad to see someone get away.

Kate leads Clara to the Tower, specifically the Black Archive - staff are mindwiped everyday and locks are basic to keep out the Doctor

"No, I really don't. I also do not appreciate that Kate."

"You realise you are talking to a screen. Also, is there really anyway to keep you out of anywhere?" Clara raised her eyebrows channelling her days as a teacher. The others smiled knowing that was true, you couldn't keep the Doctor out of anywhere she really wanted to be.

Kate reveals Clara has visited before so has clearance as she was screened but she can't remember it

"Wait they keep information on everyone associated with you. Who wants to join me in breaking in and finding blackmail on the Doctor?" Amy grinned a bit manically.

"Oh, count me in. Definitely need more blackmail." Clara grinned at the red-haired Scot.

"Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you are going to get lots of blackmail from these videos. No need to break in to UNIT." The Doctor sighed.

Clara finds a vortex manipulator, given to UNIT by Jack Harkness on one of his deaths

"Wait, one of his deaths?" Bill asked looking at said Captain who smirked flirtatiously.

"Complicated. I can't die. Well, I can but I get up again. I'm sure it will come up at some point." Those that didn't know him just stared incredulously at him before deciding they had heard weirder and focussed back on the screen. They would likely get answers eventually.

They don't have the activation code, which the Doctor kept from UNIT on purpose. Kate gets a call - they found the numbers that the Doctor carved into the wall

"Oh, that's what the numbers are for." Mickey said as comprehension dawned.

Kate reveals herself to be a zygon as she is joined by zygon-Osgood and McGillop

"That's really not good." All the companions, bar Clara who knew what happened, watched the screen anxious to know what would happen.

Clara steals the phone and vortex manipulator, putting in the numbers and escaping before the zygons can get her

"Quick thinking, I can see why she likes you." River winked at Clara, who bushed a little turning away to hide it. The Doctor grinned proudly at Clara who grinned back, still happy the Doctor remembered her again.

Back in the Tower Dungeon - they get started on the sonic breaking the door. They also discuss the Time War and counting the children

The Doctor glanced at the Master. "Contact." The Master gave her a questioning look but answered in like. "Did you count?"

"No. Unlike you I don't regret it. They got what they deserved, they lied to us about everything. Those children would have grown up to continue that legacy, Gallifrey was a horrible place to be a child. You can't even disagree with that." The Master refused to say anything else despite her attempts to goad him, eventually breaking off the connection.

11 lies about counting

The Doctor hid her face again not wanting to remember how hard she had tried to forget. She choked back on a sob. River started humming and rubbing her back to comfort her. The others looked worryingly at her but River gave them a sad smile and nodded to the screen.

10 reveals the number

"God. Doctor, how do you live with that?" Yaz choked out, staring at the Doctor in horror. The Doctor shifted her head away from River's shoulder and moved herself off her lap. Settling down on a beanbag next to Bill, her back to River's legs. She didn't deserve the comfort of her wife or anyone else. Yet, she couldn't find the energy or will to truly distance herself.

"You help others make the right choice; you save others. It never makes up for it but it means others don't have to suffer like you did. It's okay, keep watching Yaz, I've had a long time to deal with all this." She answered, voice blank of emotion and refusing to look at anyone.

10 turns on 11 for forgetting and 11 claims spoilers as 10 argues against it

River and Clara shivered at the reminder of Trenzalore. The other companions were worried about what could be so bad to scare the Doctor like that. The Master raised an eye at the Doctor who shook her head subtlety at him.

The three argue. They work out (with help from the Moment) that the sonic is the same with different casing so it can do the door calculation. Just as they are about to do it, Clara runs in. The door wasn't locked

Everyone laughed at the Doctor who just pouted. Any explanations she would have tried would be ignored so she didn't even bother trying, just happy to see all her companions safe and enjoying themselves. Even at the cost of some embarrassment.

Introductions to Clara

"Wait, you've met Pinstripes?" Bill asked curiously.

"I've kind of met them all, bar this Doctor until now. It's a long story." Clara shrugged.

None of them tried the door

"You're a right idiot aren't you Spaceman. How can you be so smart and yet so stupid at the same time?" Donna started laughing again alongside everyone else while the Doctor continued to pout, blushing a bit in embarrassment. Even the Master chuckled a bit.

Elizabeth enters and gets them to follow. Real Osgood finds Kate alive and tells what happened

"At least she's alive. That's good news at least."

Kate panics about loss of control over the Black Archive. Elizabeth shows the Doctors and Clara the zygon's plan - going into stasis within paintings then escaping later

"I hate it when you do that. Explain something and then say it's nothing like that. Did they do that to you all as well?" Clara turned to the others and received enthusiastic nods, especially ones from those that had travelled with Chinny.

10 points out Elizabeth's flaws only to find out it is her and o the zygon copy and quickly backtracks

"It's a wonder she likes you sir, with how you keep insulting her." Nardole muttered which she decided to ignore.

Elizabeth and Clara commiserate about men

"You can say that again!" Amy laughed, the rest of the women joining in. The men shifted a bit uncomfortable.

10 and Elizabeth get married

"And you get on at me for marrying other people, sweetie!"

"First of all; this was before I really started to know you properly. Second of all, you have married far more people than I have. Third, do I need to mention Hydroflax?!"

"I told you dear, I married the diamond!"

"Wait, you two are married?" Rose asked, her face blank. The Doctor squirmed in her place on the beanbag.

"Like most things it is a very long and complicated story but yes. It's very open at times. We usually both end up marrying several other people." River was the one that answered smiling softly in understanding at Rose.

"That's where I know you from! Eyebrows had a picture of you on his desk alongside an old black-and-white photo of a young girl." Bill exclaimed, her eyes and mouth wide in a classic 'Oh!' expression. River smiled at her wife; her eyes incredibly soft as she thought about how her husband kept a photo on his desk of her.

"Yes, the girl was my granddaughter Susan. I haven't seen her in millennia." The Doctor looked down at the carpet. And she wouldn't get to again. Unlike her, Susan had voluntarily gone back to Gallifrey during the Time War, she hadn't had the strength to check if she had survived for years. But, if she had somehow survived the war, she was almost definitely dead now. She resisted the urge to look at the Master.

10 promises to be right back

"Wait a minute Raggedy Man. If you married Queen Elizabeth does that make me your mother-in-law twice seeing as I married King Henry VIII?" Amy was grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Rory was at her side groaning, remembering that particular accident. The Doctor's look was all the answer Amy needed as she started cackling.

To the future they go

"And that Martha is why she tried to kill us when we met Shakespeare. I don't think I ever ended up returning."

Arguing about 10's Tardis design before it changes to accommodate the three Doctors within it

"So that's what it looked like before Chinny blew it up!" Amy exclaimed.

"Blew up?!" Donna shouted, voicing the thoughts of everyone else.

"I put off regenerating a bit too long, it made it a bit explosive. I really need to stop doing that." She muttered the last comment to herself before nodding to her fam. "That's how I ended up on the train, I blew it up again and she chucked me out when we were in the atmosphere."

Everyone started at her like she was mad, smiling about getting thrown out of the Tardis, blowing it up and putting off her regenerations. The Master and River looked at her with nearly identical knowing and disapproving stares. She shivered a bit, that was another horrifying combination. The pair of them would easily destroy several galaxies together and more importantly had far too much embarrassing blackmail on her.

10 doesn't like 11's redecoration, as normal

"They always say that." The Doctor mumbled.

At the Black Archive the humans and zygons meet - zygons morphing back into respective people

"I think that is going to become very confusing very quickly." Bill's comment drew nods and sounds of agreement from the rest of the room.

Kate activates self-destruction

"They were so close to blowing London up and we would never have known. How on Earth do you get out of this one?" Martha questioned.

The Doctor interrupts with a space-time telegraph (a gift from the Doctor to Kate's father)

"You knew her father well then. Did he travel with you Doc?" Graham asked.

"The Brigadier? No, he didn't really travel with me. Not in the way you all did. I worked with him when I worked for UNIT. I spent most of my time trying to convince him to not shoot everything alien on sight. He was a dear friend though, met me in several of my faces. I even got to meet Kate when she was very young." The Doctor smiled, lost in happier memories.

The Doctor tries to plead with Kate but she hangs up on him. The Doctors and Clara plan how to get int the archive when it is Tardis proof

"That's why I hate Torchwood. UNIT is at least tolerable most of the time, especially with a Lethbridge-Stewart around. No offense Jack." The Doctor realised what she said and turned to the immortal. His normal grin softened in understanding and he nodded at her with a wink.

They go for the stasis cube option

"Oh, that's a good plan sweetie. Very smart." River grinned at her wife who practically preened from the compliment.

They used the earlier phone call with McGillop to get the right painting into the Black Archive

"Well, that explains that weird phone call."

Kate and zygon Kate go back and forth on the self-destruct command

They all stared at the screen wondering how they got out of this seemingly hopeless situation.

From the Gallifrey Falls painting the Doctors and Clara make a dramatic entrance, after shooting some Daleks

"You do tend to do a bit of that, Sir." Nardole spoke up from his place on a beanbag.

"Oh, shut up egg-man. No one wants to hear your nattering." The Master drawled from his chair drawing the rooms attention.

"Be nice." She glared at him before turning to Nardole. "Nardole, it just tends to happen."

Kate and the Doctor argue about the countdown decision - the Doctor has made that decision once and hated it

The Doctor glared at the floor. You could have heard a pin drop in the room.

The Doctors are smug as they have a plan - they turn the memory filter on everyone so they can't remember who is zygon or human and a good negotiation can occur

"You look so smug." Martha snarked, not unkindly.

"I'm allowed to be a bit smug; I just stopped a Zygon invasion and London being blown up. Again!" The Doctor protested, waving her arms a bit wildly. River laughed behind her, leaning down to gently bring her arms back down to her sides.

"By the way Doc, I've been meaning to ask. Why do aliens always attack England – usually London especially?" Graham queried.

"I have no idea Graham. Good question, 10 points to you." She received a groan from the other two members of her fam.

"Not the points again." Ryan moaned.

Osgood and zygon Osgood talk and figure out who is who. Elsewhere in the room, Clara explores pictures of past companions before talking with the Warrior. She works out he hasn't used the Moment yet, because of his eyes

"You've saved so many people. The war was terrible but it helped make you kinder, it helped make you who you are Doctor. Just think how many people wouldn't be alive because you weren't there. How many times would the Earth have been destroyed or taken over without you here to protect it. You are needed Doctor." River almost pleaded with the Doctor to try and get her to understand. All the companions thought about it. Most of them would be dead if the Doctor hadn't saved them and the Earth would have been destroyed a long time ago.

The Doctor just shook her head silently, not meeting anyone's eyes. Maybe she had saved some people, but it was never enough. She had destroyed so many lives and hurt so many people, she would never save enough. She was so tired.

The Warrior leaves, time is up, leaving Clara confused

"Well, that explains that." Clara muttered to herself.

Back in the barn the Warrior and the Moment have a talk about the decision, the Moment trying to talk him out of it as the Doctor considers the big red button. The Moment mentions the Tardis's sound which brings hope

The companions all smiled remembering the sound of the Tardis. It had brought hope to them many times.

The Tardis is heard, hope comes even for the Warrior

The older companions who had heard what happened were starting to hope. With all the comments over the video, maybe it was possible the Doctor hadn't done it. Maybe she had managed to save it.

Clara leads the way, 10 and 11 decide to press the button with the Warrior so they aren't alone

The Doctor pulled her knees up to her chest and hid her head. Not wanting to think, not wanting to remember. The others all looked like they wanted to cry, a few had tears pooling in their eyes. To know and to see the act was very different. Their hope was shrinking.

Clara disagrees making them hesitate. They see a projection of Gallifrey in that moment and she asks for another way

They watched the screen in horror. None wanting to think about what they would do in the Doctor's situation. River dug her legs into the Doctor's back to ground her and reassure her she was there for her. She hated seeing her wife like this, knowing how much she was haunted by the memories of what she had thought she had done. The Master watched the screen with a dark expression, he didn't feel any guilt about burning Gallifrey again.

Clara reminds them of the promise they made as the Doctor

The former companions smiled thankfully at Clara; glad she was with the Doctor during the horrible situation. Some of them were stuck remembering the times when they had asked about Gallifrey or the Doctor's name. The three newest companions shared a look. This was new information for the three of them. The Doctor normally put on a façade of being happy but they were seeing so much more than they had seen before. No one wonder she didn't want to take them to her home.

They decide to change history - they change their mind and hide the big red button

For those that didn't know about the true fate of Gallifrey, which was almost everyone, hope started to bloom again. Was it possible that the Doctor had managed to save her home?

There's three of them now, they get excited. 10 gets distracted briefly by the mention of Bad Wolf

"You look so shocked!" Rose chuckled at the Doctor's face. The Doctor just grinned, happy to see her laughing.

They come up with a plan - to freeze Gallifrey like the paintings

Everyone started grinning wildly, bar the two Time Lords, even cheering a bit. It was the Doctor, of course she had manged to save them.

They contact the Council on Gallifrey - the council aren't as excited by three of them

There were a few laughs across the room but Clara scowled a bit. "I'm sorry Doctor, but I really don't like your people." She couldn't get over what they had done to the Doctor with the confession dial and how it had led to the Doctor forgetting her.

"Oh, don't worry, neither of us really like many of them either. The Doctor felt guilty about the children but there was definitely a few of our people she was happy to see die. I know I was happy to hear many of them burned." The Doctor glared at the Master who smirked smugly at her. The companions looked between them like it was tennis match. "Oh, don't look at me like that. Your dear Doctor may help people but she is just as much a renegade as I am according to our people. We both ran away, stole TARDISes and broke the interference laws."

She turned away from him and ignored the stares of her friends in favour of glaring at the floor. "Maybe but the Doctor saves people unlike you who spends your time killing people and destroying worlds." Martha glared at the Master, not ready or willing to forget the Year that Never Was. The Doctor felt joy at hearing her protests and it swelled when she heard agreements from the others that had met the Master. She looked up at Martha gratefully and received a smile and nod in return.

They share the plan with the council as their Tardises are in flight

"Grown up? You're not grown up. You're a child dressing up in their parent's clothing." Amy laughed at him, glad to see the Doctor was going to save her home. The others laughed with her agreeing.

They continue sharing the plan - and mention not wanting to see Gallifrey burn again

River reached an arm down to squeeze her wife's shoulder, trying to give her some comfort.

All the past Doctors come along to help the plan

"They're all you right? That's your previous regenerations." Bill asked pointing at the screen, the Doctor looked over to the girl and nodded. "Yep, that's me. Went back and convinced them to help. Big headache. Lots of arguing."

12 arrives to help too

"See we got your name right! Those eyebrows! Seriously Doctor. Were you compensating for Chinny's lack of eyebrows or something?" Amy gestured to the screen which had paused on the eyebrows. The others laughed, especially those that knew the regeneration in question.

"Wait, 13? I thought you could only have 12 regenerations – 13 faces. And, the thing with your hand and the planets in the sky, plus the warrior. Doctor?" Jack blinked confused.

"Just realised that now? Yes, Chinny should have been it, but there was a Thing. A Thing to do with Trenzalore and I got a new cycle. Technically this is my second body of my new cycle." The Doctor explained. She had been expecting the question from Jack or one of the others sooner or later. She shared a glance with the Master, who was the only one who knew the truth. She didn't want to tell them about what the Master had shown her in the Matrix, that meant she would have to accept it. Plus, she had an uncomfortable feeling that was the secret the TARDIS wanted to show them.

"There is always a thing with you Doctor." Jack sighed; he watched her assessing. He could tell there was lots more to it than that but she wasn't going to explain anytime soon. Drawing secrets from her was like drawing water from a stone. Virtually impossible and painful for all parties involved.

They start the plan and then cut to them having tea at the Gallery

"Well, that's a bit of an anti-climax, Doc." Jack chuckled, happy that the Doctor had managed to save her people. He glanced at the Doctor, expecting an answering grin but found a blank expression as she glared at the floor. Something was wrong, a pit settled in Jack's stomach, what secret was so bad for the TARDIS to bring them here?

They don't know if it worked, and disucss the name of the painting - No More or Gallifrey Falls

"It isn't particularly, is it?" Rory said. Amy was leaning against him, his arm around her shoulder comforting her. "To be fair it could be worse though." She added to her husband's comment.

They diecsover that the past Doctro's won't remeber not destroying Gallifery until this moment as 11. The Warrior leaves and regenerates

"I'm sorry Doctor but that didn't work out well." Rose grinned at the Doctor who shrugged. "Wait, how long after this did you meet me then?"

"It wasn't long, maybe a few days or so? No longer than a couple of weeks for sure. Thank you, Rose; you really helped me back then, when I had thought I had done it. I really appreciate everything you did for me back then." The Doctor smiled up at Rose thankful. Rose retuned the smile happily.

10 also leaves but not before getting a sneak peak of the future and Trenzalore

"What, no! Doctor that can't be it." Jack stared at the Doctor in shock. The others, barring River and Clara, were watching her with similar looks. None of them could believe that was how she died. It wasn't right.

"It's okay Jack. Stuff happened, it's complicated but it is already in the past for me." She smiled reassuringly at her old friend. The Master nodded at her when he managed to catch her eye; he didn't know the full story but he knew parts of it.

Clara leaves the Doctor alone with his thoughts. The Curator says hello and mentions revisiting a few familiar faces in the future

"Doctor, what is he talking about?" Ryan asked bemused. Most of the others had similar looks on their faces.

"That's one of my old faces, my fourth face. The one that wore the scarf Osgood had." The Doctor explained the best that she could. "However, I didn't grow that old in that face so I don't know how he is there or why. A future incarnation maybe? He did say about 'revisiting a few'."

The Curator revelas the paintings titile - Gallifrey Falls No More

All her companions were grinning. The Doctor had managed to save them, of course she had. They were so happy for them, especially the ones who knew her when she was suffering from the war. Her current fam though exchanged a glance, if she had saved them then why did she not talk about it? And what had happened, because when they had seen it, it was burning.

The Doctor glared at the Master who shrugged at her with a smirk. She was furious at him for a number of things. Giving her fake coordinates as Missy and destroying Gallifrey and then teasing her about it were near the top of the (very) long list.

11 decides to go looking for Gallifrey

"Did you find it? Did you go home?" Amy grinned, happy for her friend.

The Doctor frowned, sharing a dark look with Clara. "Yes. Didn't go well. It never does." Her companions glanced at her in concern but got the feeling she wouldn't say anything more no matter how hard they tried.

The Curator leaves a happy Doctor who plans to find Gallifrey - the long way home, all of his past on show for the group

"And they are really all you? Before Eyebrows anyway. Wow, I see what they were talking about with the fashion sense." Bill nodded to herself.

"That's what you got out of that?!" The Doctor looked at her incredulous, while the other laughed at her. Despite the laughter they were all inspecting the previous regenerations of the Doctor.

"Is that the end of the first video?" Yaz queried, unsure who she was actually asking.

"I think so, anyone want anything or we all good for another video first?" The Doctor looked around the room, half of them were still looking at the screen and the others were chatting amongst themselves but she received shrugs and nods. "Okay, erm Sexy? Can we have the next video please?" The Doctor looked up at the ceiling of the room a bit awkward but the old video disappeared, replaced with the words "Twice Upon a Time".
