PARENTHOOD
Chapter Two Hundred and Two (In the Doctor's distant future) "Ok, where were we?" Alan said as he came down the stairs and sat on the floor, leaning against the couch. "Did you wash your hands?" Rain asked as he crawled across the carpet then knelt on his knees, holding his hands to her face. "Hey, get those out of my face!" "Not until you smell my sparkling clean hands!" he said and she sighed, sniffing his hands. "Ok, they're clean. Now get out of my face!" she said and he wiggled his eyebrows up and down then crawled back to the couch, sitting down and leaned against the couch. "Well?" Alan asked as he poked Adam in the leg and Adam pulled his legs up, folding one leg over the other and tucked his kilt around his legs. Half closing his eyes, Adam set up a privacy block and placed the back of his head on the back of the couch. "Isn't Donnaella that sea witch we encountered while looking for the Staff of Power?" Alan of Seaweed asked. "Yeah," Doctor Merman said then looked at Captain Jack. "Are you sure we have to go through her territory?" "Well, it would take a few days, but we can go this way and avoid her territory all together," Captain Jack said as he moved his finger along the map and Doctor Merman nodded his head. "Sounds like a good idea," Doctor Merman said when the room started shaking and they held onto the table while their tails swung back and forth. "What?" "Hold on," Captain Jack said when he floated to the door and looked out into the hallway. Ianto floated toward him as he floated in front of Captain Jack and wiped some blood that was dripping from his nose. "What happened?" "Sorry, Sir, but we're under attack," Ianto said as they headed for the bridge and floated toward the large window. Nigel helped Gwen off the floor while they looked out the large window and saw several figures covered in black and grey rocks with large white bumps on the rocks and the figures were slamming against the whale, causing it to buck up and down. On top of the heads of the figures was a long eyestalk and large suckers were wiggling on the figures' right fins. "No, don't you dare call them what I think you're going to call them!" Rose said as Adam smiled at her and wiggled his eyebrows up and down. "What are they?" Princess Rain Shower asked as she hid behind Doctor Merman and he sighed, pinching his eyes closed. "Why, oh why, do I lose everything and they live?" he asked and they looked at him. "Those are my greatest enemies." "You mean….?" Alan of Seaweed asked and Doctor Merman nodded his head. "Yes, the Sharleks!" he said as dramatic music filled the air and they gasped. Adam beamed as Alan, Jack, the children and the Doctor doubled over in laughter and Rose and Rain sighed, rolling their eyes. Settling down, the Doctor got up while Adam watched him walking closer and the Doctor hugged him then ruffled his hair. "Don't ever lose that imagination of yours," he said then half limped back to where Rain was sitting and sat down. Adam placed his feet on the coffee table as he half closed his eyes and set up a privacy block. "What are sharleks?" Ianto asked as he floated closer and stood next to Captain Jack. "They are from the Sharko Ocean and they were breed to hate. They think that nothing in the known oceans is better than they are and go from ocean to ocean, killing everything that isn't Sharlek. My people tried to stop them but they lost and I am the only one left," Doctor Merman said then sighed and Princess Rain Shower wrapped her arms around him, hugging him. Alan of Seaweed threw himself on Doctor Merman as he cried and Doctor Merman sighed, reaching back and patted Alan of Seaweed's hair. "How do we stop them?" Gwen asked while Doctor Mermaid floated back and forth and rubbed his chin with his fingers. He looked out the large window when he sailed to the coral door next to the large window and placed his hand on the door handle. "Where are you going?" Princess Rain Shower asked as she floated to him and he sighed, placing his head against the door. "I'm sorry, but I have to do this," he sighed when Alan of Seaweed floated to him and gently pushed him out of the way. "No, if someone had to take them out, it's going to be me!" he said as Doctor Merman looked stunned at him and Alan of Seaweed opened the door and went outside. They watched him heading toward the sharleks and the sharleks stopped slamming against the whale to look at him. "Under the sea," Alan of Seaweed started singing while dancing and spun around in a circle while the sharleks watching him with confused looks on their faces. "Under the sea! It's just little, little ole me, under the sea! The sea is big and scary and I'm just a little fish. I better be mighty careful before I end up a big fish dish. Oh, I am a studly merman, on what we can all agree. I am the studliest thing that…is livin' here under the sea! Under the sea, under the sea, my bladder is full, gotta take a big pee, under the sea!" "Is he trying to get himself killed?" Captain Jack asked and Doctor Merman smiled, brushing his fingers through his hair. "No, what he is is brilliant!" he said and Captain Jack frowned. "See, I had to pee, take a piddle, a piss, a wee wee…UNDER THE SEA!" Alan of Seaweed sang when he scrunched up his face and a large, green stream of pee sailed out of his tail. After the smell from the large, green stream of pee hit them, the sharleks' eyes went wide and Alan of Seaweed smiled, folding his arms over his chest. The sharleks quickly swam away as Alan of Seaweed howled while pumping his hand in the air and wiggled his tail side to side. "Yeah, and keep swimming unless you want some more!" "Get back in here!" Doctor Merman shouted as Alan of Seaweed turned and floated back to the whale, going back inside. Captain Jack watched as Alan of Seaweed headed for Rose Coral and she wrapped her arms around Alan of Seaweed, kissing his lips. "My hero!" she said as Alan of Seaweed blushed and his tail moved back and forth. "Right, let's going then," Captain Jack said as the others went back to the large window and gently poked the whale with the coral poles. Doctor Merman floated toward Alan of Seaweed when he titled his head to one side and blinked his eyes a few times. "Ok, mind telling me where all that came from?" he asked and Alan of Seaweed smiled, wiggling his eyebrows up and down. "Well, seeing that we didn't stop for pee breaks, I just decided now was the best time to empty my bladder," he said. "Just be happy that it worked or you might have been the one that ended up as shark poop." Jack started laughing after Adam sent him an image of Alan of Seaweed getting eaten by a sharlek then ended up as a pile of poop and Alan looked up at Adam, tilting his head to one side. "You didn't?" he asked and Adam nodded his head. "Fair's fair, Alan," Jack said and Alan growled, flipping him off. "Ok, enough with the shark poop," the Doctor said as they nodded and Adam set up a privacy block. The days passed while the whale moved along and Doctor Merman looked at the map, moving his finger along the map. The whale had gone to the surface as they stood at the large window and all were stunned to see the sky for the first time. The sun was rising as the sky shimmered in pinks and purples and the clouds floated gently overhead. Captain Jack had provided them with helmets with backpacks that pumped water into the helmets while the whale floated across the surface of the water and Doctor Merman placed his arm around Princess Rain Shower's shoulders, placing his helmet against her helmet. "So, where are we?" Alan of Seaweed asked as he floated closer and stood next to the table, looking at the map. "We're here," Doctor Merman said as Alan of Seaweed nodded when the room shook a bit and they held onto the table. "Don't tell me that that sharleks are back." "I hope not. I just went to the loo," Alan of Seaweed said as they left the room and headed for the bridge. Captain Jack stood at the large window while they floated closer and he sighed, turning around to face him. "What happened?" "We seem to have arrived," he said as they looked at the large castle made of red, orange and yellow coral and Alan of Seaweed whistled, causing tiny bubbles to float out of his mouth. The castle had four large towers at the corners and a large shell for a drawbridge. The whale floated in front of the castle as they looked at Captain Jack and he ran his fingers through his hair then headed for the door. "Come on." "I want you and Rose Coral to stay here," Doctor Merman said while looking at Princess Rain Shower but she frowned and placed her hands on her hips. "No, I'm coming with you," she said. "But we don't know what's out there," he said and she smiled, twirling some of her hair around her finger. "All the more reason for us to come," she said with a smile on her face. "Yeah, you might need our help," Rose Coral said and Alan of Seaweed's mouth fell open. "Do not!" he said. "Look, I don't care who's going and who's not, let's go!" Captain Jack said as they looked at him then shrugged and headed for the door, going outside and headed for the castle. "Um, Papaw, can we stop, I have to pee," Clara said as Adam looked at the rest of the children and scratched an itch in the corner of his left eye. "Does anyone else have to pee?" he asked and the children, Jack, Frazer, Ianto and Rain raised their hands. "Ok, anyone that has tae go, go." They watched as the children, Jack, Frazer, Ianto and Rain got up then went upstairs and Alan got up, walked to where the Doctor was sitting and sat next to him, going face to face with him. "May I help you?" the Doctor asked. "Just trying to figure out why Doctor Mermaid didn't toss Alan of Seaweed out of the Perchwood after he sent the sharleks packing yet you strand me on that beach after what happened with the daleks," Alan said and breathed hard and fast through his nose. "Because he didn't blow them up," the Doctor said. "No, he just peed on them. Image the look on Davros' face if you had done that," Donna said and Alan growled, flipping her off. "I still think he should have tossed him out," Alan said. "Well, I'm not telling this story. He is," the Doctor said then smiled and pointed at Adam. "An' I didnae do that because it would be mean of Doctor Merman tae strand him somewhere for peeing," Adam said and Alan nodded, walking back to the couch and sat on the floor. "Well, hope they come back soon. I want to hear what happened next," Alan said and Adam smiled, patting him on the top of the head.
