They all safely got to Annalise's flat. Mandip went straight for the kitchen to raid for snacks, while Annalise gathered the things. Once she did she gave them all to Bell who started tinkering tight away.

"I'm gonna hop in the shower. I'll be back!" Annalise said, awkwardly hugged Jodie, then disappeared

"Well that was that awkward moment about?" The Bell asked randomly

"I was actually going to ask you for advice. Cause you both are technically the same person, just from different universes. I just don't know if she liked me anymore. She barely kisses me, hugs me, holds my hand. Does she not like me, or am I going about it the wrong way?" Jodie asked and sighed

"She's what I am like as a human, yes. I turned myself into a human once, well made myself think I was. I erased my memories, filled them with false ones. Some memories stayed though, like my knowledge of my best friend Yaz, and my favorite song, stuff like that. Normal stuff. I was a sad person Jodie. I have been betrayed by my first love The Doctor, abused by my brother The Master my whole life, lost River Song the woman I was married to for 147 years, and when finally getting my memories back, found out that all my life was a lie. I don't know who I am. Being human didn't take away the pain or the fact there's this dark lonely void in me, and this dark lonely void of mine, it makes you feel like something's always missing, just out of your reach. Jodie, if anything, being human  made it worse. I was a sad human. A sad human looking for what was missing. I'm betting she is too. You need to be there for her, she doesn't always know how to ask for what she needs, she doesn't always want to ask for help, she doesn't want to burden others. Cause the truth of the matter is, she cares so much more about you than she cares about herself. Show her you care. You take the lead, and she'll follow. Jodie, show her that she can run to you. That you can be the missing piece of her void......and finished, a Magnet Charger Pad, lemme just plug it to the wall, set the Vortex Manipulator on the pad, perfect! It's charging, it'll take  approximately two hours till full charge is restored." Annabel finished, and got comfortable on the couch

"Awesome! Just enough time to watch a movie!" Mandip said as she jumped on the couch

"Okay well what movie?" Jodie asked

**Knock knock**

"Was Annalise expecting anyone?" Mandip asked as the three got up to answer the door

Jodie looked through the peephole, "Oh it's only Sacha. Figures he'd stop by, they are close." Then she opened the door

Quick as lightning Annabel took out her twin pair of red tactical curved combat blades that were laced with a hallucinogenic toxin. One scratch from them and your on your arse.

"Is he evil in this universe too? Why is he here?" The Bell hissed

"Hey Annalise, calm down, I just came to see if you were alright." Sacha said

Annalise came out in a pair of pajamas while towel drying her wet, long, black hair, and said, "He's good Bell, you can put your very much real, and not a prop, knives away."

Sacha's mood changed to a tiny bit scared with that knowledge for a second.

"You still didn't answer my question. What's he doing here?" she asked while she put her knives away

"Sacha and I have know eachother forever, we're like brother and sister. He drops by all the time." Annalise said

"Alright I'm properly confused. So now are two Annalise?"

"You might want to sit down for this story mate." Mandip said

After a long explanation, a few drinks for everyone, and many questions later Sacha was finally caught up.

Everyone was a tad tipsy. They were all laughing, and having a good time. Annabel knew it was only temporary though. Soon she'd have to leave them.

"So does this mean we're not watching a movie?" Mandip asked,

"Actually I think my Vortex Manipulator has enough charge by now to get me to The Doctor." The Bell said determined to find the other Timelord, then confused, "I just have to do something first. Annalise I'm so sorry."

"For wha—" But Annalise couldn't finish her question, The Bell used telepathic touch you erase all memories of her from Annalise's mind.

"Oh my god what did you do to her?" Mandip asked

"Chill your ovaries. She's just knocked out, she'll wake up without her memories of me in about, oh I'd say an hour, and I'll be long gone by then. However, it's very important you three never mention me. It can and will cause a rip in space and time." The Bell explained to the three still  conscious humans

"We understand." Mandip said

"Right mate. Don't worry." Sacha added

Annabel put on her Vortex Manipulator, and  put the charger that she made fire in her red leg strapped satchel. She then felt a tap on her shoulder, and she turned to see Jodie.

"You know I think I love her. I want to spend my life with her. Thank you." Jodie paused then said, "Right then, you gave me good advice so it's only fair I return the favor. Listen, The Doctor May have hurt you in the past, but she loves you, she does. Seems my version of the Master, umm,  fancies you as well. Pick the right one though. Pick the one of me who will happily do anything to fill that void." Jodie finished

Annabel took Jodie's hands, "Thank you." She let them go, and looked at all three of the faces staining back at her, "Take care of her, I'm sure she needs you lot."

The Bell set the right coordinations once more, then said, "Remember me. Remember when The Bell rang."

The Bell hit a button on her device, and disappeared from their universe.
