PARENTHOOD
Chapter Two Hundred and Four (In the Doctor's distant future) "So, did everyone wash their hands?" Adam asked as Rain, Jack, Ianto, Frazer and the children came down the stairs and the children walked to Adam, holding their hands up. Rose giggled as Adam sniffed each hand then patted the children heads and the children smiled at him. "My turn!" Jack said as he waved his hands in front of Adam's face and Adam laughed, sniffed Jack's hands and Jack looked over at Ianto, who was sniffing his own fingers. "No, Yan, he has to do it." "If you say so," Ianto said as he walked to Adam and held his hands out. "Is this going to take long? I want to get back to the story" Alan grumbled, but Adam just gave him a smug look and sniffed Ianto's hands. "I see you even scrubbed your nails," Adam said and Ianto nodded, showing Jack his nails. "Yep, Yan is proud of his clean, shiny nails," Jack said as Ianto blushed and Jack hugged him, kissing him on the cheek. "Tell me that you're not going to smell Rainy Painy's hands. They're toxic!" Alan said while holding onto Adam's leg and Rain rolled her eyes. "Out of the way, Farty Bottom!" she said as he got off the floor and stood in front of Adam, gently holding onto Rain's shoulders and locked eyes with her. "No, I will not allow you to poison my dear brother! Besides, we share our feeling. I don't want to become sick after he smells those stinky hands of yours!" he said in reference of the empathic bond that a shaman cursed Alan and Adam with after Adam had accidentally lost his sunglasses and the shaman saw the cat eyes that he had in his third life. He also had pointy ears and the shaman thought Adam to be a demon. Both Adam and Alan were captured and were going to be thrown into a volcano but the Doctor stopped the shaman and the shaman placed his curse on Adam and Alan. "Then I'll let my husband smell them," she said with a turn and lifted her chin, walking to the Doctor. She sat on his laps as he took her right hand and sniffed her hand. "Ah, minty fresh!" he said then kissed her lips and the children giggled. Angel wiggled her finger at Frazer when he walked to her and knelt down in front of her, holding his hands out. She sniffed his hands then smiled and he got up, picked her up off the couch then sat down with her on his lap. "Right, now where was I?" Adam asked when Clara climbed onto his lap and he wrapped his arms around her. "Captain Jack was taking them to the castle," she said as he nodded and kissed the top of her head, setting up a privacy block. The large castle rose before them as Captain Jack stood in front of the moat that was dug into the sand and they looked at the green, bubbling liquid in the moat. "What is that?" Rose Coral asked as she pointed to the green, bubbling liquid and Doctor Merman took out his sonic screwdriver, scanning the green, bubbling liquid. "It is corrosive algae," he said as Rose Coral's eyes went wide and Alan of Seaweed kicked a rock into the green, bubbling liquid with his fin. Watching the rock melting, he raised his eyebrows almost under his fringe and Princess Rain Shower looked at the melting rock then at Doctor Merman and tapped his shoulder. "How do we get the drawbridge down?" she asked and Doctor Merman looked at the large shell when Frazerwick saw the conch shell hanging on the coral that was sticking out of the ground and he floated closer, taking the conch shell off the coral. The conch shell was a bright pink color with a seaweed cord threaded through it and he examined it until he found where someone would blow into the conch shell and held the conch shell to his lips. A low bleating sound came from the conch shell while bubbles floated upward and they looked at him. Frazerwick blew on the conch shell again when a light brown hair merman appeared at the window to the right of the large shell and placed his hands on the window sill. "Isn't that your dad?" Angel asked as Frazer nodded and she placed her head on his shoulder. Jamie was on his sixth life and all of them were shocked to learn that Jamie, like all the Jennies, kept his original body and only regenerated on the inside. No one could figure out why Jamie and the Jennies couldn't change but Jamie and the Jennies didn't seemed to mind and enjoyed still having their original forms "Och, who is making such a racket?" the merman asked when Doctor Merman floated forward and the merman looked at him. "Who are you?" "I am Doctor Merman. May I ask whose castle this is?" he asked. "This is the castle of the Great Seer," the merman said and Alan of Seaweed smiled, leaning his head toward Rose Coral. "If they were a great seer then they would have seen us coming," he whispered then grunted as Rose Coral poked her elbow into his ribs and he glared at her. "And you are?" Doctor Merman asked and the merman smiled. "I am Jamie Highwater, the captain of the guard," Jamie said and Doctor Merman nodded his head. "We wish to have words with the Seer, if that is allowed," Doctor Merman said as Jamie moved away from the window and they looked at Doctor Merman. "I guess he went to ask if it was ok." "And if he went to load a sea cow onto a catapult and launch us at us?" Alan of Seaweed asked. "Where do you come up with this stuff?" Captain Jack asked when the large shell slowly lowered itself over the moat and Jamie floated closer. His tail was covered in red and green scales and a small dagger was tucked in the belt around his waist. "The Seer will see you," he said as they followed him toward the castle and the large shell closed behind them after they went inside. The red, yellow and orange coral sparkled around them as they headed down the hallway and Jamie stood in front of the large pearl doors, turning to the others. "Prepare yourselves. The Seer is behind these doors." "I certainly hope so," Alan of Seaweed whispered then grunted when Rose Coral poked him in the ribs with her elbow again and he frowned. Jamie opened the doors as they floated inside the room and were shocked to see the only light came from a glowing blue pool. The walls were made from mother of pearl with large pearl columns around the pool and the floor was made from turtle shells. Jamie led them to the pool as the blue light bathed them when the sound of horns blared and someone floated down from the ceiling. The figure was female with long red hair and the blue light shimmered off the silver scales of her tail and the white fins rippled back and forth. Her large breasts stuck out of the top of the white tunic she wore as Alan of Seaweed and Frazerwick's mouths fell open but Alan of Seaweed got out of the way before Rose Coral could poke him in the ribs again. They watched as the Seer floated slightly above them when she looked at Doctor Merman and smiled. "Greeting, Doctor," the Seer said with a sweet sounding voice and he moved closer, bowing toward her. "Whom do I have the pleasure in addressing?" he asked as she arched her eyebrows and smiled at his request. "I am Nobella," she said and he nodded his head then turned to... "Hold it!" Donna shouted as they looked at her and she stood up, walked to the couch and wiggled her finger for Adam to stand up. Placing Clara on the couch, Adam stood up when Donna walked closer then hugged him and Adam softly grunted. Kissing her cheek, he moved back as she held his hands and swung them back and forth. "Thanks, Red." "Well, I never did like the fact you ended up being the baddie in the last story," he said and she laughed. "Yeah, I wasn't that happy about it either," she said then let go of his hands and walked back to the couch, sitting down. "Right, sit down and tell us what happened next." "As you wish," he said with a bow and Donna laughed, rolling her eyes. Adam sat down as Clara crawled onto his lap and he placed his arms around her then set up a privacy block. "I am Nobella," she said and he nodded his head then turned to the others and pointed to Captain Jack. "This is Captain Jack Harkfish of the Perchwood," he said and Nobella nodded her head toward Captain Jack, who smiled and gave her a wink. "Behave!" "I was just..." Captain Jack said and Doctor Merman sighed, rolling his eyes. "Yes, yes, we all know what you were doing," he said then introduced the others and Nobella gently smiled at them. "Now, the reason we're here..." "I know why you are here. You are looking for King Neptune's seahorse." "Yes, do you have any idea what dangers lie ahead?" "I do, and you will need some help or you will never survive them," she said as they looked at her and she looked over at Jamie, who was floating quietly near the pool. "I need my royal treasure hunter." "Aye, I will go fetch him," Jamie said as he left the room and they looked at Nobella. "Who is this royal treasure hunter?" Doctor Merman asked when the Indiana Jones theme music blared in the room and they turned, looking at the doors. The doors opened when a merman floated into the room and their eyes went wide. The merman was tall with a tail of blue and green scales and a bullwhip hung across his chest. A fedora of seaweed was perched on his head as the rim of the fedora hung over his eyes and he used one finger to lift the fedora up. "Did you miss me?" Adamana Starfish asked with a smile and titled his head to one side.
