PARENTHOOD
Chapter Two Hundred and One (In the Doctor's distant future) "Where is Loch, Papaw?" Clara asked while sipping on some hot chocolate and Adam smiled, ruffling her hair. "He's in the hold of the Perchwood," he said and she nodded. "I don't get why Frazerwick got so mad," Alan said and Frazer smiled, rolling his eyes. "How would you like it if you woke up an' couldnae find that wee rat dog of yours?" he asked and Alan's eyes turned sad while thinking about Speck, his tea cup chihuachua. He knew that it had been centuries since Speck had died but it still hurt his hearts that she was gone and Alan sniffed, wiping a tear from his eyes. "I miss my little chewie woowie," he sighed and Adam rolled his eyes, setting up a privacy block. After going down into the hold and Frazerwick saw that Loch was safe and sound, Captain Jack led them to the bridge and opened the door, leading them into the room. The walls of the room where made from coral and pearls with a large window at the back and the floor was made of clam shells. Several merpeople were standing near the window as they used long, coral poles to poke the whale and the room gently rocked side to side. "This is my crew," Captain Jack said as they walked closer and he tapped the back of the tall merman with a tail of blue and green scales and he turned, looking at Captain Jack. "Man, it has been a long time since I looked like that," Ianto said as he snuggled next to Jack and Jack gently kissed Ianto's cheek. Ianto was on his fourth life and had olive skin, deep brown eyes and black hair. His face had sharp features and a gold ear ring dangled from his right earlobe. "Yeah, I wish I still looked like that," Gwen said as she sighed and Rhys kissed her cheek. "No matter what face you wear, Love, you're still my girl," Rhys said and Gwen blushed. She stopped blushed as she glared at Alan, Jack and Adam while they made kissy lips at her and she sighed, rolling her eyes. Gwen was on her third life and had a round face, long white hair and green eyes. Rhys was still on his first life and he attributed it to the fact that he didn't spend his time fighting monsters and aliens. "And I appear to be female in this story," Jake said and Nigel nudged him. Jake was on his fifth life and they were surprised to find out that he switches between being a Time Lord or a Time Lady, depending on what life he is on. Nigel was on his fourth life and was a tall man with blonde spiked hair and blue eyes. He also spoke with an Irish accent and had boyish looks with tiny freckles dotting the bridge of his nose. "Can we get back to the story?" Donna asked and Adam winked at her with a smile on his face. "Are we on course?" Captain Jack asked. "Aye, aye Sir," Ianto said and Captain Jack nodded, looking back at the others. "This way," Captain Jack said as he floated toward the hatch door made of coral that was in the floor and he opened the hatch, floating down to the next level. Looking into the hatchway, Alan of Seaweed shrugged then floated over the hatchway and smiled. "Geronimo!" he shouted then disappeared and Doctor Merman sighed, shaking his head. Captain Jack waited near the pearl door when the others floated toward him and he smiled, opening the door. He did a little bow as Rose Coral and Princess Rain Shower went in the room and Rose Coral smiled, sticking the tip of her tongue between her teeth. "Oi, what's with the flirting?" Alan asked as his head appeared above them and Captain Jack looked up, frowning. "She wasn't flirting," Rose said as her head appeared next to Alan's head and he yelped as she pulled on his ear, vanishing. "Uh..." Captain Jack said while pointing up to where Alan and Rose's head were and Doctor Merman sighed, placing his hand on the small of Captain Jack's back. "Just ignore them," he said as they went into the room and Captain Jack closed the door behind them. The room had mother of pearl walls and ceiling and shells for flooring and a large porthole was at the back of the room. A large coral table sat at the center of the room and several scrolls made of seaweed were sitting on the table. Princess Rain Shower was near the table when Captain Jack floated to the table and the others followed, floating next to him. "Well, how did you become immortal?" Princess Rain Shower asked, looking at him. "Ah, that is s great story," Captain Jack said and floated toward the large porthole, looking out at the bubbles slowly floating by. "It happened a long time ago when I was just starting out as a sea agent." "What is a sea agent?" Angel Fish whispered while she sat on Frazerwick's shoulder and he shrugged a shoulder. "What is a sea agent?" Rose Coral asked and Captain Jack smiled, turning back to look at them. "I worked for the Sea Agency, which deals with keeping the oceans safe from things that shouldn't exist," he said and Doctor Merman shrugged while Alan of Seaweed looked at him with a confused look on his face. "It was while I was working on this case, which I can't talk about, that I encountered this powerful source called...the Bad Wharf." "Oh come on!" Alan said as he tossed some popcorn at Adam and Rose smiled, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. "Can't you be more original than that?" "Hey, I like it!" the Doctor said and Adam smiled then cupped his left hand with his right hand and flipped Alan off. "I have heard of it. It's located in the northern territory," Doctor Merman said as he floated closer and looked at the scrolls on the table. "What were you doing there?" "I told you. It's classified," Captain Jack said as he floated toward the table and Doctor Merman nodded his head. "So, there I was, looking at the most powerful thing in the known oceans, and got hit with this bright white light. I thought I was good as dead, but here I am." "How did you ken that you were immortal?" Frazerwick asked. "Ah, well, I was working on this other case, which I can't talk about, and someone impaled me with a triton. I died but you should have seen their faces when I woke up and pulled the triton out of my chest. After that, I found out that I couldn't die and have been traveling the oceans ever since." "What happens if you get eaten by a shark?" Alan of Seaweed asked. "I would end up as immortal shark poop." "Ew!" the children said at the same time when Adam looked at Alan and Alan doubled over laughing after Adam set up a privacy block and sent the image of a cartoon great white shark eating Captain Jack then a warm pile of Captain Jack poop lying on the sand and the cartoon eyes blinked. "What did you show him?" Rain asked while Alan calmed down and Adam looked at her with a slightly stunned look on his face. "I dinnae do anything," he said when Frazer and Angel started laughing and Alan winked at him. "Then what are they laughing at?" the Doctor asked. "How should I ken?" Adam said with wide eyes then yelped when Donna came up behind him and slapped the back of his head. "That was disgusting," she said as he looked at Alan and Alan smiled, shrugging. "He showed Alan what Jack would look like as shark poop." "Adam David Storm!" Rain said, looking shocked. "Can we see?" Liam asked. "NO!" the Doctor, Adam and Alan said at the same time and Liam pouted, folding his arms over his chest. "So where are you headed?" Captain Jack asked when Doctor Merman took the scroll off his belt and placed the scroll on the table. Captain Jack used small shells on the corners of the scroll when he looked at the map and moved his finger on the scroll. "Ah, it seems that we're both heading in the same direction. The only problem is we have to cross over her territory," Captain Jack said and Alan of Seaweed looked over Captain Jack's shoulder and looked at the scroll. "Who are you talking about?" he asked. "I am talking about Donnaella," he said and they looked at each other with stunned looks on their faces. "Now hold on, I thought you said that I wasn't going to be her in this story," Donna said as she glared at Adam and he smiled at her, patting the top of her hand. "An' you're nae going tae be her," he said and she arched her eyebrow. "But you just mentioned her." "Aye, but that doesnae mean that she's going tae make an appearance. So, if you will sit down, I will tell you what happens next," he said when Alan got up and headed for the stairs. "Where are you going?" "I gotta use the loo," he said. "Then go home an' use yours. I dinnae want tae go in there after you dropped some trouser chili," Adam said and Alan's eyes went wide. "I will have you know that I haven't dropped trouser chili in years! And if we want to talk about stinky poop, I know not to feed you beans before a long trip in Daisy. The last time you let one rip, you nearly peeled the paint off the coral!" Alan said when Adam got up and walked to him, going face to face. "Boys, do I have to call your mothers?" the Doctor asked as they looked at him and he placed his head on Rain's shoulder. Even though Clara and Delmari had died years ago, the Doctor knew the mere mention of them still frightened Adam and Alan and they coughed, looking at each other. "I'll turn the fan on," Alan said as Adam nodded and Alan headed for the stairs, going upstairs.
