Chapter V: Ten seconds
"Oooh, I like this possibility. Hawaii, maybe?" Kevin asks the Doctor, thrilled.
"Getting colder..." the Doctor replies, as everyone is holding tight, and the TARDIS gears are grinding in a very familiar tone as they leave.
"Are we going to the Maldives?" Barty tries to guess, wishing he could win the guessing game to look good in front of his Second Dark Lord.
"Getting even colder," The Doctor turns towards him, then turns again, with a hidden smile.
The TARDIS gives him a little shake, almost imperceptible.
The Doctor knows what it means. His dear old box doesn't like his joke very much.
But he simply ignores her.
"Barbados?" Peter hazards, grabbing the parapet due to an intense shake that made him almost fall.
"Getting warmer." the Time Lord answers, winking at him.
Barty noticed the gesture and his icy gaze silently threatened the illusionist. His eyes scream, ''Don't you dare to touch my Second Dark Lord or I'll skin you alive!' But he stays silent, contemplating. He's growing nervous. Reaching for his wand, ready to cast a flurry of Cruciatus Curse.
The TARDIS makes a last few shakes, before reaching their destination. Finally they've arrived. The Doctor is so happy that he rushes to open the door.
He turns to his Companions, staring at them in such joy as if he had brought them to witness the creation of the world. He loves having new Companions, to see their amazement at seeing wonderful, otherworldly new things.
The trio looks out, curious. They keep silent for a moment, their eyes wide. Peter even tries to step closer, to have proof that it's not an illusion. In front of them there's a town with multicolored buildings, the entire place faces the sea. But, the downside is that it is extremely cold outside.No one would ever have a bath in that sea. Barty blinks twice, his tongue darts out from his lips for an instant. Peter steps back.
They close the doors and turn to the Doctor, with an upset expression.
"Why those faces? Oh c'mon, I took you to see the sea and beaches, didn't I?" the Doctor chuckles with fake innocence.
- Their expressions are so funny! - he chuckles to himself. He's more than nine hundred years old and yet he never grows tired of making jokes
"How the fuck can be possible that 'Barbados' gets a 'getting warmer' if we are in England? The hell with 'getting warmer', I'd like to directly set you on fire!" Peter snaps.
"No bloody one sets my Dark Lord on fire!" Barty growls, placing himself in front of the Doctor, ready to defend him, pointing his wand at the potential aggressor.
"Barty, next time you have a tete-a-tete with the Doctor, asks him to teach you what sense of humour is. I wasn't serious, I'm not going to have a barbecue with your oh-so-precious Time Lord!" Peter rolls his eyes and Barty loses himself in his fantasies about a romantic tete-a-tete with his Second Dark Lord.
"It's so great to be again in England!" Kevin beams, finding a positive side in the upsetting situation that he's not on a tropical beach.
"Finally, someone who appreciates that!" the Doctor smiles. "Dear my friends, this is Blackpool, Lancashire County, Ireland sea. - he proves to them how deep is his endless knowledge about everything. He pauses, in order to better emphasize his next sentence.
"Here we're going to find the next person we're looking for."
"So, what the fuck are we waiting for? Let's go take him!" Peter incites the crowd, thrilled by that manhunt. After all, he is a hunter and it is in his nature.
