'All the worlds a stage...</i>



In a brightly lit room on a flat panel screen, was displayed a perfect image of the planet Earth. A blue marble suspended in a sky of diamonds. A hand reached out to stroke the image. Irene Huxley loved her home planet like nothing else. Loved its people and its history.

Sometimes it seemed like her obsession. But Irene never quite saw it in that context. Turing from the screen, Irene ordered one of the men in a black and white uniform over to her side.

"Is it almost time?" she asked the man.

"Almost." said the man. "According to our chrono anomaly detector; the Doctor should be arriving as soon as tomorrow. At the very least."

"And is everything ready? There can be no lose ends with this plan." said Irene, walking past the many men in black armor; who were busy with constructing and maintaining some gargantuan machine.

"Everything has been accountant for, ma'am. The Plumbers, the Tennyson, the cadets. Even Time Lords companion. None of them will be a problem." his tone at the end indicated sinister intent. This made Irene smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Norris. That will be all." Mr. Norris nodded and left Irenes' side.

Irene Huxley sighed in triumph. Soon all those long years of planning and scheming will come to fruition. Now all that was needed was a tinge of patience and a dab of manipulation.

She took up a data pad and called up a file. Retired Plumber and most decorated, Mr. Maxwell Tennyson. It would all start with him, and tugging a string or two. How easy it would be. He had the most to lose. Irene clutched the data pad tighter in her small hand, thinking about how sweet it would be to bring the greatest Plumber on Earth down so low.

It was no less than the race traitor deserved.

In the town of Bellwood, in a little trailer park just off the main highway, a sound unlike anyone had ever heard roared through the air. Vworp! Vworp! Vworp! Kithunk! A strange blue box materialized out of thin air, bit by bit until the whole thing just stood right in the middle of the lot.

It was about as wide as you standard 1950's Police Telephone Box, which was used in Great Britain for a time until phone lines became more wide spread. In fact, that's just what the box was. Well, sort of. It only looked like a big blue Phone Bax with the words "Police Public Call Box" on the front of it.

If you were ever lucky enough to step inside, you would find the inside is much bigger than the outside. That was due to the miracle of its pilots alien technology. His name is The Doctor. Just the Doctor. He is the last of the Time Lords, 1003 years old from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterberous.

Said Doctor was now checking the calibration of certain parts of his Tardis. That's Time And Relative Dimension in Space. According to his scanner, he was now on planet Earth in the early 21st century. Good time, really. Some of his best friends came from this particular part of time and space.

The Doctor looked to be a man in his early 50s. His hair was black with a few gray hairs, his eyes were bright blue. He dressed in a Edwardian fashion, with starched collars and cravats. He carried a walking stick with him, thought it was mostly just for show. He exited his time machine and walked about the little RV lot.

Behind him came his two companions. A young woman not much older than 17. Her hair was dyed electric blue and her eyes were dark green. Her fashion sense couldn't have been anymore different than the Doctors. She championed the early puck rock scene with her knee high black boots and fish net hoes. Her skirt was thigh high, plaid and pleated. To top it off was a black tee top that had the shoulders cut out and sort of bell bottomed around the wrists.

For Cyphrin Fitzroy, there was no better look for a 45th century girl.

Next to her was a robot dog. His name was K-9. His coat was jet black and his name was painted in silver on his right side. He glided along the ground, his little antenna ears twitching as much as his wire tail.

"So, Doctor?" began Cyphrin. "Was it your idea to bring us here, or was it the Tardis'? Because if I remember right, you promised me a day at the beaches of Penhaxico 2."

"This time, its not my fault. Really." said the Doctor. "You know the Tardis will do what she pleases sometimes. Rather like yourself..."

"I heard that." Cyphrin gave the Doctor a friendly jab on the arm.

"The question now is, what for? If I know my girl, something's going on here on Earth. The next question is, what might that be? Or would that be the same question?" the Doctor rested his weight on his cane and nodded his head in thought.

Cyphrin rocked back and forth on her feet while the Doctor thought, taking in these strange and new surroundings. This was the first RV lot she had ever been to. That fact in of itself was special to the cockney girl of tomorrow. This is just the reason she had thrown her lot in with the Time Lord, to see places and things that were new and different.

Speaking of such, Cyphrin jumped when she saw a tall, four armed boy and a short blond kid come from around one of the more battered looking RVs. The red alien bow drew four pistols and aimed right at her and the Doctor. K-9 placed himself right in front of his oblivious master, extended the photon blaster in his snout.

"Multiple hostiles detected, master!" said K-9. "Preparing to engage!"

"I don't that that will be necessary, K-9." said the Doctor, who hadn't even bothered to look over his shoulder at the two boys.

"Neither will I." said another voice. From out behind his Rustbucket III, Max Tennyson stepped up and placed a hand on one of Manny's. "Stand down, boys. These three wont give us any trouble."

"Well, Cyphrin might. You know her, 'Trouble' is her middle name." said the Doctor kidding. The Time Lord finally turned on his heels and flashed a big smile at his old friend. "Good to see you, Max my boy."

"You too, Doctor." the two men hugged. Cyphrin, Manny and Cooper all exchanged names and introductions. K-9 wagged his tail happily as Cooper scratched behind one of his ears.

"So, are you here by happy coincidence?" asked Max as the group made their way back to the outing taking place in the more vacant part of the lot.

There was gathered the Tennyson family and the Plumber Kids. Some were gathered around an open fire roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Ben was messing with the radio, looking for the least fuzzy station. Kevin was stuffing his face with potato chips and talking cars with Cooper through a full mouth.

Most of the girls were gathered together. Gwen, Helen, Julie and Elena stood by the picnic table, talking about this and that and trying to keep Kevin from getting fourths. Pierce, Alan and Manny were around the fire roasting their lunch and laughing together. K'lee was off by herself, leaning against a tree as she ate. The adults sat in lawn chairs with their cans of soda, talking about the economy and other adult things.

"Well, dosen't this look nice?" said the Doctor. "I'm glad I arrived when I did. You got room for two more?"

"We've got over three dozen hot dogs and I forgot how much soda. Yeah, I'd say there's room for more." Max said with a smile.

"Right then. Allons-y!" said the Doctor, recalling a favorite phrase from a past life. He and Cyphrin took up their roasting sticks and fixed themselves lunch.

Tabris was thankful for the invisible setting in his suit. Without it he couldn't stalk the Tennysons without causing a riot. He sat still as stone among the trees, just watching the family get together without the slightest bit of hostile intent. In fact, lately he hadn't felt any hostility towards this family at all.

The lack of anger just made him even more angrier. It felt good when he bedeviled his so called 'father' and his 'family'. It felt horrible when he watched them together, all happy and shit. Sometimes Tabris wondered why he hadn't just killed them all in their sleep and skull fuck the womens corpse'?

"Dammit, I think I've grown a conscious cricket." thought the clone Tennyson.

And whats worse, he was starting to wish he could be down there with them. Eating greasy tubes of meat and talking about stupid things that wont matter cause they'd all be dead soon enough. But he wanted that! Tabris rubbed his temples and tried not to groan in frustration.

When another breeze kicked in, Tabris left with the wind and the leaves as his cover. Maybe if he was lucky, he'd get into another bar fight and burn off some frustration.

Moonie Okashii Tennyson rocked her new born son in her arms gently. Little Leon was bundled up to keep him warm against the cool fall air. Mizuki was conversaiting with her half brother Carl, who was eager to bond with his half sister. Moonie was happy to see her children by Max and Verdonas' were getting along so nicely.

It had been her biggest fear back when she and Max were still courting. But Carl and Sandra were happy to add the young Moon Witch to the Tennyson clan. Frank took a little longer, but Lily was still a bit uncomfortable with the fact that her new mother in law was about a decade younger than herself.

Regardless, Moonie was happy to be here with the family. Little Leon wriggled in her arms, which told her that it was feeding time. Moonie took a bottle of milk out from the baby bag and began feeding her new born. She was surprised when a shadow fell over her. The witch smiled she she looked up into the face of her husband who brought her a well done hot dog with a side of sour cream and cheddar chips.

"Take a break, kitten. Let me hold the little tyke for a bit." Max sat the food onto the adjacent cooler and took his youngest child from Moonies arms.

"It was good of you have this little outing, love." said Moonie before biting into her food.

"We've all been needing this. Too much time spent fighting isn't good for the soul. I would know." Max said, sitting down and feeding Leon.

"By the way, I was wondering something. I know the other people in this little park are used to you keeping strange company and all; but how are they going to react when they see the Plumber kids?" Moonie asked.

"I've made custom ID masks for them. They're wearing them right now. All the need to do is tap their foreheads and the mask activates a more human disguise for them." Max said proudly.

"Well, aren't you the sweetest?" Moonie leaned over and gave Max a cheddar flavored kiss on the check.

"C'mon, find something that inst fuzzy or country." Ben groaned as he fiddled with the radio dial. "Kevin, couldn't you have brought your CDs or something?"

"No way, Tennyson." said Kevin through a mouthful of twinkie. "I'm not getting my collection scratched up. Don't you have an MP3 player?"

"No, mom and dad said the cell phone was enough to give me brain cancer." Ben said sadly.

"Man, that sucks on so many levels." Kevin laughed and patted Ben a little to hard on the shoulder.

"Aaaannddd... bingo!" Ben said in triumph when a clear station came in. It was a classic rock station that he didn't listen to a lot, but right now it was better than nothing.

"Hey, listen now! Cause it aint no joke. Let your conscious fail ya, just do the stroke."

Ben couldn't help but bop a little to the songs beat. In no time he found himself dancing along, doing a weird little jig. The others laughed a little and some hooted and hollered. Gwen, K'lee and Elena even joined in. Manny made a comment about them being Bens show girls.

Max and Moonie laughed at the childrens' antics. Max stopped when he heard his cell phone ringing in his pocket. He returned Leon to his mothers arms and excused himself from the party.

He checked the callers ID on the screen. All it said was 'Priority Alpha'. Max pressed the answer button.

"Tennyson."

"Tennyson Maxwell of Plumber squad #001. I'm afraid I must take you away from your little get together for more pressing business." said a female voice.

"How did you-"

"Never mind how, just come to the following coordinates as soon as possible. For your familys' sake." and the line went dead.

Max checked the screen again. The meeting place was the newly built Starlight Tower in the next city. The old Plumber raked his mind for a reason for this sudden summoning. His eyes wandered until they came to rest on the TARDIS. Could they have found the Doctor? After all, the woman clearly knew where he was and what he had been doing at this moment.

Max tried to think of an excuse to leave the party. He didn't want to worry any of the others. He checked the fold out table and saw that they were nearly out of hot dog buns. Good enough of an excuse.

"Hey, love." Max said to Moonie when he returned to her side. "I need to make a run into town for more food. I'll try not to take long."

"Okay, ursa major." the two kissed and Max took his leave after asking his son Carl if it was okay to borrow his car.

Max pulled out of the RV lot and made his way into the city. The only indication of his nervousness was his sweaty hands gripping the stearing wheel. So focused was Max in the road and the destination that he missed the subtle sound of something landing on the roof of the car.

Once again, Tabris was grateful for the invisible setting of his suit.
