Where: The TARDIS - The Los Angeles HUB

What:

The Doctor wasn't going to call all of his hard work on that country manor a bust. There was a lot of activity in the HUB and The Doctor could see this. He's also unaware that his younger self had crossed his time stream and that will make for an interesting discovery when he returns to the TARDIS.

Still he wanders the halls of the HUB and he goes to head into the main offices. He goes to grab a chair and he flops himself down. "You lot work too hard! There's not a soul that's scratching at the doors to get out for a little adventure? I'm not talking about a slobbery reanimated dinosaur or a weevil. And, really heaven and hell? That's taking up too much time!" He leans forward to go through someone's paperwork and he ruffles through it. It's boring and he tosses it over his shoulder only to watch it go all over the place. "I've always wanted to do that."

Of course it's boring; it's paperwork and frankly Andrew is relieved to finally be done with i--

Oh. Oh no, he didn't.

"I just finished getting that in order!" he practically squeaks at his alternate self.

Oh, yes he did do exactly that and The Doctor looks up at the mess on the floor.

"Well, there's no need to get that in order. I think everyone here needs time off. Well not exactly time off but everyone is just here. It's boring," The Doctor goes to dig through the desk and he finds a piece of alien technology. He stares at it for a moment. "Its a nose hair trimmer." He rolls his eyes and he tosses it back on the desk. "Well it's a nose hair trimmer for a Judoon."

"Of course it is," grumbles Andrew into his hand, from where he's pinching his nose in frustration. "It's got a hitron power source I want for something else. And there wasn't a need to get in order, no, until you went and scattered it everywhere."

Is he really this annoying? He consoles himself with the fact that the eleventh Doctor isn't actually him in the strictest sense as he gets out of his chair and starts shoving the papers back into one pile.

"Yes, of course everyone needs a hitron power source," The Doctor says, as he places the object back down on the desk. I think this lot needs a bit of a break anyway. They're going to be a bit high strung by the time the summer comes." The Doctor leans back in the chair with the desk that has a mess of paper on it.

He tends to be this annoying when he wants to. The Time Lord places his hands behind his head. The Doctor looks at the papers that one of the Ianto's likely put there in some order. "I like them on the floor. I mean what if you want to sit on the floor and look over papers about Weevil attacks?"

"Then I'll sit on the floor and bring them with me - in order." Someone may have inherited some of Donna's tendency toward efficiency in the office. Andrew finishes gathering the papers into a loose pile and stands up to put them back on the desk, giving them an almost hurt look at the thought of having to sort them again.

"Why don't you go play with Märet or something?" he asks.

The Doctor bounds up from his seat and he goes to scoop up a piece of one report. He shudders and he puts the paper back on the desk. "Yes, and they're horrible pictures of dead people. Still I'm about to see if you would like to join me on holiday."

"I'll bring Maret along. I know he would enjoy a chance to explore new worlds." The Doctor says, and he takes another piece of fallen paper from the ground. "I was thinking Saint Andrews during the Second Great War. Scotland was fairly safe from German bombs and I know Jack's a big fan of the era. And, I won't chance him running into himself during his very early years."

"I haven't said no," Andrew points out, eyebrows raised. "I just...there're things I have to do, alright? And yeah, we have pictures of dead people. Jack says it's useful, like CSI."

He sighs. World War II for the holidays? Really? "You sure about that?"

"So are you going to?" The Doctor looks at the office space and he hums. "Well you can bring your work with you. Its not as if the TARDIS doesn't have her own work shop."

He looks at the pictures he picked up. "Well there's children in here and they shouldn't be exposed to these things." He goes to put the pictures in a folder. "Well they shouldn't be exposed to these things just yet."

"Yes. We're not going to London or any occupied area. We should be safe."

"Wouldn't be much of a holiday if I work," mutters Andrew to himself. They could come back to the same time, right? Assuming they could get to the same time again; knowing the Doctor they'd probably end up two months late after being gone a week.

"The children wouldn't be exposed to it if someone didn't go around throwing those things on the floor where everyone can see them," retorted Handy, rolling his eyes. "And you do realize we could go to any other time period and you wouldn't have to reassure me about how the Nazis probably aren't going to bomb us?"

"Good! I was hoping that it would be a holiday without work!" The Doctor's going to be a good sport to clean up the mess of papers to put them away. He may not have them in the right order but that's fine for now.

There's a very good chance he'll be late in getting them back home. His sense of time has always been crap in that sense.

"Yes, yes, yes so I'm corrected." The Doctor seems almost hurt by his choice of periods in history to visit. "Oh, but to think of all the inspiration the English countryside during the Blitz was for many. I am going to make a big rest assure that the Nazis won't bomb us assurance, Andrew."

Siiigh. Andrew's just in a bad mood, really; it's nothing against WWII-era England (at least, WWII-era England in the countryside).

"We'd better find Narnia while we're there, or I'll be terribly disappointed," he says, keeping an entirely straight face.

"As if raging war with swords over bombs is any better?" The Doctor begins to head off to where he left the TARDIS. "It will be fun either way." Yes, because traveling all over the place beats being settled.

"You don't know it'd be war; we might go sail to the edge of the world or something," argues Andrew, more or less just to be difficult. He quickly finishes stacking things on his desk and hops up from his chair as the Doctor scurries off.

"Are we going right this minute? I want to put a locator on Märet before we go, in case he wanders off." He pauses. "After I find Märet."

"I'm sure we'll go exactly where we should. Bah. You're not being optimistic. I'm sure Scotland was more than safe during the war," The Doctor argues back, and he's still shuffling off to where he left the TARDIS.

He stops and he turns around. "No. I'm going to get some supplies. I'm not sure rationing is something Maret understands." The Doctor rubs the back of his neck. "A locator? I suppose..." He mutters and he's not exactly happy with the idea.

"Not really, no - if we try to ration he'll probably eat everyone's dinners in one sitting," chuckles Andrew ruefully.

He arches an eyebrow at the Doctor's discomfort. "Do you want to track him down without a locator if he gets lost in World War II Scotland?"

"No, we don't need to worry about living the life of everyone else. I can always go back for supplies when we're getting close to running out. We've got plenty of people with a TARDIS or a Vortex Manipulator to help out."

He turns around and he takes a deep breath. "Of course not, no. There's no telling what trouble he could get himself into."

Andrew can tell the Doctor doesn't like the idea of putting a tracker on a grown, sapient being - but Andrew's genuinely concerned about what Märet might get into. "It's not like I'm going to stop him from going where he likes," he points out, trying to justify it. "I just want to know if he roams too far abroad so I at least know where to go pick him up when he has a clash with the locals."

The Doctor isn't comfortable with the idea and he pushes The TARDIS doors open only to see his previous console room in the place of his new one. He turns around and he takes in a deep breath. "No we can't have Maret running off and getting into trouble. I don't know how much trouble he can get into but you're right. It would be nice to find him if he wanders off into town or another manor."

He turns his attention back to the console room and he takes a deep breath. "Okay, you can have your moment of feeling a little bit younger." He speaks to the TARDIS and he wanders over towards the console. "As for Maret, we could be able to keep an eye on him by using The TARDIS."

Andrew did deliberately say 'when' rather than 'if.' There's little doubt in his mind that Märet would find some sort of trouble to get into.

"You think so?" he asks. "I'll go get him - and run home to grab clothes, all that boring stuff."

Of course its not just Maret that's an expert in getting into trouble. He clasps his hands together. "I think so. I'll see you in the TARDIS. There still will be plenty for him to do to keep him from getting bored."

"No concept for paperwork." She smirks and moves over to stand beside him. One eyebrow raises as she glances at the mess that he just made. It wasn't her mess, still she didn't want to be the one who had made that pile. No, she would rather just watch the fireworks. She hoped it was Gwen or Liz.

"I always love adventure," she purred. River moved over and sat herself on the edge of the desk, getting as close to the Doctor as possible without touching him directly. "They love their work. It's hard to get them to relax, sweetie."

"Of course not," The Doctor says, and he tosses a folder to the floor. He's going to be on a Ianto's hit list or maybe one of the ladies who's left to desk work. He'll be in a lot of trouble if he did.

He cracks a smile. "Great! Well it's an adventurous vacation! 1941 just after the height of the Blitz but there's still that air of danger!" He stops making an ass out of himself and he gets up from the chair. "Yes, they love their work and it shouldn't be hard to get them to relax. It's even going to be safe for our pregnant couples to enjoy."

River looks down at the floor and the rapidly growing pile. She can't wait to see Ianto or the others when they find the mess that the Doctor had made. Ianto especially would be furious at the mess. It only made River smirk. "It's only paperwork."

River shrugged her shoulders and hopped up off the desk. "Ooh, the Blitz. I love a good balloon ride," she teased. "They work very hard. Taking a break in our line of work isn't very easy, Doctor. Even mini holiday breaks usually wind up with us running for our lives." Not that she was complaining. "Would you protect me," she purred.

The Doctor may have to kidnap the Welshman in question. He looks down at the papers on the floor and there's a smile on his face. "I'm going to impose a no work order." Of course when The Doctor's involved there's always something else to worry about. There's no such thing as a relaxing vacation.

"Yes, Scotland should be fairly safe during this time of the year. I'll still have to pay London and Churchill a visit. He's still a little cross about the fact I dismantled those Spitfires." The Doctor has a surprise for The Captain's somewhere along those lines but he's not about to ruin it neither.

"Of course I would protect you!" The Doctor pops out from the chair and he goes to wander over towards the direction of the TARDIS. "Get your bags, and bring some supplies because rationing is not our thing."

"I do like that idea." River rubbed her hands together and looked back and forth between the papers and the desk. Reaching out, she grabbed a small stack on the corner that he had missed and tossed them too. She loved watching the papers fly through the air as they slowly landed on the floor.

"Scotland. I love Scotland. It's so magical. Especially with the snow. It will be beautiful. Will you wear a kilt," she teased. "Spitfires! I'd be cross with you too. Those planes are genius."

She chuckled and followed after him, like she always would. Like he'd always follow her. It was their way. "Anything I need is in the TARDIS." Truth be told, she liked following him more. He had a cute little butt she would always stare at. She couldn't help herself. "And a bit of wine. You always need a wine at a holiday dinner."

"So do I. They need a holiday. Yes, sure they've stable and settled but oh, there's no fun in stability and being settled!" The Doctor looked at the desk and he wonders just who it belongs to. It doesn't matter seeing they're likely going to be mad with him.

He listens to her when she tells him she loves the idea. "Yes. Scotland and its wonderful sheep. I'm sure the sheep won't mind the snow with all of that wool they're wearing." He steeples his fingers together and he scrunches his face. "I will not wear a kilt!" He takes River by the hand to lead her over to the TARDIS. "Yes, they're splendid. I also have something Jack's going to need to help me with there. A holiday isn't a holiday without a little alien intervention to shake things up."

"Define adventure, Doctor." He smiled and appeared from behind a column, laughing at what he saw. It was a refreshing change, someone who wasn't so serious. "Adventures are always fun." After spending time with Jack, he had learned that work could also be fun. He'd learned there was more to life than worry and one should live. Especially because who knew what the future held. "Where's the adventure this time?"

The Doctor turned around on his feet and he's not sure if he met this other young man. He clasps his hands together and he holds a finger up in the air. "Adventure, in a trip to Scotland during the Second World War. It seemed as safe of a place from the Blitz as any. I'd like the little ones to come on this one."

He looks Jack up and down and he asks. "We haven't met have we?" The Doctor waggles his fingers and he goes to offer Jack a hand. "I'm The Doctor just in case we haven't formally met one another."

Jack can't help himself. He blinks, making sure that he heard the Doctor right. "The Second World War?" He wasn't sure he wanted to go back to that. "Does it have to be there? Can it be anywhere else? Though yes, Scotland is the safest. We never bombed over there."

"No, I don't think we have. Jack would have mentioned you." He stuck his hand out and shook the Doctor's hand. "Captain Jack Harkness. The first." Yes, he might have smirked as he said it.

"Yes, The Second World War. It's a bit in between of being old timey and not so old timey. Its not like I'm going to stick us in the middle of occupied France or even smack dab in the middle of Berlin. Oh, trust me Hitler is rather cross with me about sticking him in a cupboard."

He knew exactly where he was taking them and he ums. "Course not, no there was no Germans there and nothing other than airbases that made the German's have any interest in bombing it. Don't worry, all will be safe."

The Doctor goes to take the hand and he gives it a vigorous shake. "You don't look like my Captain. I'm The Doctor."
