(I love this drawing so much! It's fantastic. Same clothes as last time lads, just look on the last chapter if you've forgotten. Again, one of my favourite episodes; have it on disk, watched it a million times! Enjoy.)

Ivy suddenly stands forward and narrows her eyes at the patients. "Go to your room." She yells loudly causing all the patients to stand utterly still before tilting their heads to the side a little in confusion. "Go to your room." She repeated. "I mean it! I am very, very angry with you. I am very, very cross. Now! Go. To. Your. Room!" She enunciated every word loudly. The gas mask people lower their heads and trundle away, back to their beds. "Boy am I glad that worked! Those would have been terrible last words." She laughs.

"I love you!" The Doctor blurts looking at her in awe.

"Aww. Thanks. I love you to!" She smiles and Jack sighs and rolls his eyes. 

Rose decides to break up the sweet moment. "Why are they all wearing gas masks?" She asks the two that seem to know what's going on but Jack is the one that answers.

"They're not. Those masks are flesh and bone."

Ivy ignores them both and is intrigued by something. "How was your con supposed to work?" She asked thoughtfully.

"Simple enough, really. Find some harmless piece of space junk, let the nearest Time Agent track it back to Earth, convince him it's valuable, name a price. When he's put fifty percent up front, oops! A German bomb falls on it, destroys it forever. He never gets to see what he's paid for, never knows he's been had. I buy him a drink with his own money, and we discuss dumb luck. The perfect self-cleaning con." He explains.

The Doctor scoffs. "Yeah. Perfect." He mutters.

"The London Blitz is great for self-cleaners. Pompeii's nice if you want to make a vacation of it though, but you've got to set your alarm for volcano day." Jack laughs before noticing no-one else was. "Getting a hint of disapproval."

"Take a look around the room. This is what your harmless piece of space-junk did." He scolds.

"It was a burnt-out medical transporter. It was empty." He defends.

Ivy turned to look at her friend when she sees the confused look on her face. "Rose."

"Are we getting out of here?" Rose responds.

"No." Ivy states.

"We're going upstairs." The Doctor finishes.

"I even programmed the flight computer so it wouldn't land on anything living. I harmed no-one. I don't know what's happening here, but believe me, I had nothing to do with it." Jack assures them.

"I'll tell you what's happening." The Doctor began.

"You forgot to set your alarm clock. It's volcano day." Ivy finishes, both of them looking incredulously at him.

Jack turns to Rose. "Do they do that often?" He asks.

"You have no idea." She mutters before hearing a siren blaring loudly. "What's that?"

"The all clear." Jack comments.

" I wish!" Ivy murmurs as they walk up the stairs. The Doctor and Ivy are well ahead of the others; wandering towards Jamie's hospital room. "So what do you think of Jack?" She asks him.

"I don't like him and I don't trust him."

"Neither." Ivy smiles and grabs his hand. 

Jack and Rose run up a staircase but the two Time Lords are already an entire floor above them. "Mister Spock?" Jack calls out.
