Characters: Jack and Gwen and/or Ten? When: Sunday, 27 May 2012 Location: The TARDIS Warnings/Rating: Who knows? it's Captain Jack... prolly no higher than PG-13 though Summary: Jack figures it's about time he sees his friends in person Status: Semi-Open/Ongoing
With the use of his wrist strap, it wasn't too hard to track down the location of the TARDIS. As he approached the blue box, Jack smiled wistfully as he remembered the old days. Part of him half expected to see Rose opening the door to greet him, or even Martha Jones. Hell... he'd even take Mickey the idiot if it meant seeing a friendly face.
But those days were long gone and never coming back. Martha and Mickey were married and off freelancing together to fight aliens. Rose was back in the parallel dimension with the metacrisis version of the Doctor. And all the rest of the Children of Time had gone back to their normal lives.
Jack placed a hand on the oustide of the box, just standing there as he felt the worn wooden exterior. He reached into his pocket to pull out his key ring, smiling again as he selected the one he needed: his TARDIS key. Only a few special people ever earned one of these. And not every Companion was given one. For Jack, it was one of his most treasured possessions. He'd spent many long hours in the remains of the Hub after the 456 incident had ended trying to find where his keyring had ended up after the explosion. And thankfully, he'd actually managed to find it... and still even in one piece.
As he unlocked the door and pushed it open, Jack peered inside and couldn't resist calling out, "Honey? I'm home... anyone around?"
