Fixing The Problems

Minuet in Hell - Part Two

"Goodbye, Brigadier." She turned to him.

"Oh yes. Goodbye, Miss Pollard." Brigadier said.

"Goodbye." She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh." Brigadier said, surprised as Charley left them alone to give them a private moment.

"Well, Brigadier, here we are again." The Doctor said.

"Yes, indeed. Every time I think I've seen the last of you three, up you pop again." He sadi. "I like the new face, by the way." He turned to The Protector. "See if you can't hold on to it a little longer than some of your predecessors, there's a good chap."

"It's always a pleasure teaming up with you. Someone dependable, solid as a rock." The Protector said.

"You too, Time Lords. You too. Now, run along. Disappear into the ether, or the Sheriff will be wanting to question us all about your involvement, and that could keep us all in this country far longer than is healthy for
us." Brigadier said, making them all laugh.

"We'll see you around, then, as they say in these parts." Celestia said.

"I'm sure of it, Celestia. Goodbye." Brigadier said.

"Goodbye, Alistair." The Doctor said as the Time Lords started walking. The Doctor and Celestia held hands.

"It was fun!" The Doctor shouted once they were at a distance from Brigadier.

"Fun?" Brigadier questioned as he chuckled. "Odd idea of fun you have, Doctor."

"Yeah, he's always like that." Celestia shouted too.

"You can come with us, you know. There's a place for you too as well." The Doctor said when they stopped in front of The Protector's Tardis.

"Maybe some other time, Doctor. Being a sorcerer supreme is a really hard job." The Protector laughed.

"Oh I can't imagine." The Doctor laughed as well.

"Come on come on, let's see how The Tardis decorated the console room this time." Celestia exclaimed happily.

"After you two." The Protector said as he opened the doors.

"Doctor, it looks like your Tardis." Celestia laughed.

"Both Tardises like to copy from one another it seems." The Doctor chuckled.

"They're like Polaris and I." Celestia said.

"Oh right, Polaris. I haven't spoken to her in a very long time." The Protector said.

"We did what we could, brother. She is the one that wanted to be separate from us. We didn't force her, you know." Celestia said.

"I know, I know." The Protector said. "I can't help feeling bad about it either."

"Come here, you." Celestia said as she let go of The Doctor's hand to hug him.

"Do you mind if I steal Celestia for a couple of adventures?" The Doctor asked him when they pulled away from each other.

"Not at all." The Protector chuckled. "You two be careful. That's all I'm asking for."

"Promise." The Doctor said.

"I'm always careful." Celestia laughed.

"Obviously not." The Protector looked at her pointedly.

"Point taken." Celestia sighed. "You make sure to get some rest before you go back to Gallifrey, alright?"
