The Doctor's Wife [Part 3]

Inside, Planet, Tunnels, Night...

"Come on! Where are you? Now where are you all? Where are you?" The Doctor closed his eyes, sensing the other Time Lords. He opened them and pushed back a curtain, revealing a small alcove. "Well, they can't all be in here."

He then heard murmuring voices and turned around. A cabinet was set into the wall. He opened the door to see it filled with the glowing boxes. The voices were louder. They were all cries for help.

Auntie and Uncle then came up behind him.

"Just admiring your Time Lord distress signal collection." He told them. "Nice job. Brilliant job. Really thought I had some friends here... but this is what the Ood translator picked up. Cries for help from the long dead." He then turned around to face them. "How many Time Lords have you lured here, the way you lured me? And what happened to them all?"

"House, House is kind and he is wise." Auntie told him.

"House repairs you when you break. Yes, I know. But how does he mend you?" The Doctor scanned Uncle. "You have the eyes of a 20 year old."

"Thank you." Uncle told him.

"I mean it literally. Your eyes are 30 years younger than you are." The Doctor said, ripping off Uncle's hat. "Your ears don't match, your right arm is two inches longer than your left, and how's your dancing, 'cause you've got two left feet. Patchwork people. You've been repaired and patched up so often, I doubt there's anything left of what used to be you." He then put the sonic away and slapped Auntie's hand. "I had an umbrella like you once."

"Oh, now, it's been a great arm for me, this." She told him, gesturing and showing him her arm.

"Corsair." The Doctor whispered, noticing the snake tattoo.

"He was a strapping big bloke, wasn't he, Uncle? Big fella. I got the arm and then Uncle got the spine and the kidneys."

"Kidneys. You gave me hope, and then you took it away. That's enough to make anyone dangerous." He told them. "God knows what it will do to me! Basically... run!"

Auntie ran off as Uncle backed away.

"Poor old Time Lord. Too late. House is too clever." Uncle told him, before turning around and leaving.

The phone then rang, the Doctor answering it.

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

"What?" Amy questioned as she spoke to the Doctor on the phone while Sky leaned on the console with both hands, looking down. "We're not good enough for your smart new friend?"

Inside, Planet, Tunnels...

"'The boxes will make you angry.' How could she know?" The Doctor questioned more to himself.

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

"Doctor, what are you talking about?" She asked him.

Inside, Planet, Tunnels...

"Stay put." He told her. "Stay exactly where you are."

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

"We don't have much...choice." Amy muttered. "Just look after Lexi, will you?"

Inside, Planet, Tunnels...

"Lexi?" He questioned. "I thought she was with you."

Inside, TARDIS, Console room...

Amy eyes widened. "I thought she was with you!"

Inside, Planet, Tunnels...

"Ugh, Lex, what are you doing to me?" The Doctor smacked his forehead before speaking into the phone. "Amy, don't worry, I'll find her. Just stay put."
