Rose motioned for Martha and Benton to be quiet and put her ear to the door of the TARDIS.

"I can't make it out." She said quietly, backing away from the door.
 
The door cracked open.

"But Doctor," a somewhat high-pitched woman's voice was saying. "I don't understand!"

"I told you, Peri," a man's voice replied. "The TARDIS came here itself. That must mean there's a good reason for it. Something or someone wants me here and I suggest we go find out what it is."

"But..." she began again, then fell silent as the doors opened the rest of the way and a large, colorful man stepped out so quickly he nearly stepped on Rose's feet.

"Ah, a welcoming committee! Wait! I think I know where we are! Peri, this is UNIT! And that man there is Sergeant Benton!"

The thin dark-haired girl with too few bits of clothing on peered out at them from the doorway with a cautious, confused look on her face.

Benton nodded at the huge man with his blinding outfit and managed a befuddled smile as he shook his hand. "Well, as I once said, nothing about you surprises me anymore, though this is a stretch. If you don't mind telling me, which...uh, version of you are you?"

"What a question! I am myself!" the large man said, "And I've never been better, I think. I thought I'd reached the pinnacle back when I was younger, you know, but cricket is so very passe..."

"Ah, you would be number Six then," Benton said. He looked over at Rose and Martha. "These ladies are... they... well, I'll let someone else sort things out for you. Pardon me, I think I need to make a call to the Brigadier."

--

Two looked around at the circle of people all staring at the meteorite. "How about some music while we wait for nothing in particular to happen?" he asked, pulling out his recorder.

--
 
Rose looked at the new Doctor and his companion. After a long moment of silence she asked, "Want some chips?" trying to break the awkward quiet and then realized how stupid of a thing it was to say considering the circumstances.

---

The lights flickered as Zoe fiddled with the controls. Finally, after the lights went off for a moment, then resumed their normal brightness, she got into the controls.

"I got it." Zoe said with delight.
 
"I'll take some chips Rose," said Martha, "then why don't we bring our 'new friends' with us and take the tea to the doctors?"
 
Preoccupied with reports, the Brigadier picked up his phone on the first ring. "Lethbridge-Stewart."

"Sir," Benton said. "We've had another one show up. In the canteen."

"More? What, didn't they put down those mousetraps like I told them to?"

"Not a mouse, sir. A Doctor."

"In the canteen?"

"Yessir. Box and all."

"Are you sure it isn't just one of the ones we already have?"

"Uh...*very* sure. You'll have to see this one to believe it."

He sat back in his chair. "Good heavens. He isn't number twenty or something is he?"

"No, only six."

"Never thought I'd be glad to hear of such a thing as 'only' sixth for the Doctor. Very well. Escort him and anyone with him to the lab with the others, Benton. That will be all."

"Yes sir!"

--

"It's working?" Victoria asked hopefully. She experimentally pushed a button, then when nothing obvious happened, pushed it again.

--

Three and Jo, who'd settled down leaning against their dividing bars were both startled as the bars themselves suddenly shot upwards. Ace jumped back and Jo fell over into the blank space where they had been.

"Jo! Watch out!" said Three, pulling her forward as the bars just as suddenly shot back down again. She narrowly escaped being squashed by the descending wall, but now she was in the same compartment as the Doctor. He looked up at the ceiling. "Well, now that was interesting..."


--

Two tooted a poor rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, then stopped and peered into the holes on his recorder. "Any requests?"
 
Seven heard the voices of the two girls in the hall. "Ah! Here they are!" He said with a smile. Rose and Martha entered the room followed by a man in bright rainbow clothes with a rainbow umbrella, and a shorter girl who looked... different.

"What on earth are you doing here?" Seven asked the new man.

"Here you go Doctors." Rose said pushing the tea cart into the middle of them all. There were ten boxes of sugar, one for each.

---

Zoe tried another switch but nothing obvious happened. There were footsteps coming toward them.

---

Another set of bars came down for a moment, almost hitting Ace, and then lifted again.

"Why is the Master fiddling around with us?" Jo sighed.
 
"I just hope no more show up or we might run out of tea," said Martha, pouring some tea into the many cups they had brought.
 
All of the Doctor's began scooping spoon full after spoonfull of tea into the cups. Rose looked a biti queasy at the goop that all of them were creating. Like sugar with a bit of tea thrown in.
 
"I'm amazed you made it through ten regenerations with that much sugar," Martha laughed.
 
Six, who was still getting used to the concept that there were so many of himself all there together in one place almost missed out on the tea but made up for it by stashing all of the leftover sugar in his pockets for later.

Peri gawked at him. "Won't that make your pockets sticky?"

"Never," he said with assurance, trying to get his fingers back out again. "I'm just glad we didn't miss tea-time, whatever else is going on here."

--

Jamie looked at Peri, blushed and looked away. He edged through the crowd to Two and nudged him. "Doctor, they must've had some misfortune, that lass over there is missing half her clothes! Don't we have anything here that might cover her up decent-like?"

Two looked over at Peri and his eyebrows shot up. "Oh dear. Yes. Well, l I expect she may be dressed that way on purpose, but let's see what we can do, shall we?"

Handing Jamie his tea-cup, he snagged one of Three's capes from the coat-rack and took it over to her, settling it around her shoulders. "Here, my dear. I'm sure you must be chilly in those summer clothes. I'm the Doctor, by the way, that is, the second Doctor, you may call me Two if you like. Am I correct that this rather blinding and obnoxious individual beside you is a future version of myself, though I can't tell you how sincerely I hope not?"

--

Victoria pushed more buttons. "Let's try these."

--

"Watch out!" Three said, pulling Jo with him to the side as yet another set of bars shot down and then back up. He could hear Ace give a squawk of protest as her own began banging up and down like a chopping-machine without ever quite staying up enough for her to get out.
 
ooc: I have yet to figure out what part in Five's timeline he is at right now...

ic:

"He is a regeneration after me," said Five, "so he's at least the sixth."
 
Zoe suddenly grabbed Victoria's arm and pulled her down behind some boxes and crates. "Someone's coming." She whispered.

The footsteps neared and then passed. Zoe peaked over to see the Master sitting down at the controls. He looked suspiciously at them. And then turned all of the controls off.

----

Ace was wide eyes and quite upset about the bars flying up and down and was glad when they finally stopped. "Well they could have stopped up!" She shouted to... well not exactly anyone.

"Now we're all in one cage together. The middle one is up." Jo said, motioning to where the bars between Ace and the Doctor and herself had been.

Ace hurried over to the other side of the cage, just incase they went down again.

-----

"To the point, when did your TARDIS materialize here?" Seven asked.

Rose looked at her watch. "About 5 minutes ago." she answered.

"Then the meteor must be related to why we're all here." One said.

"Then this Master chap is stuck here as well?" Ian asked.

ooc|| Well Nyssa is with him and Peri is with Six. So Five is with Nyssa and could possibly be with Tegan and Turlogh.
 
ooc: I looked it up, at one point Nyssa is with the doctor by herself I think. So it must be around then.

Nyssa's been oddly quiet, I'll try to remedy that from now on ;)
 
"It's been seven minutes," Six said imperiously to Rose. He turned to the rest of the room. "You, you and you, I remember," he said sourly pointing out One, Two and Five. He eyeballed Seven and Ten with distaste. "Am I to presume you came after?"

"Which one are ye?" asked Jamie.

"Sixth. And best, if I may say so myself," he said, puffing out his chest.

"Oh dear," said Two. "I was afraid you were. I didn't freely choose that hideous outfit, did I? Well, no matter. You see, we've this bit of a meteorite problem, it seems to be pulling all of us to this same juncture in time. And yes," he added to Ian, "I expect it may be affecting your Master-chap, as you say, if he's a Time Lord as well."

Six looked around. "If we're at UNIT, where am I then? I mean, the me who was supposed to be here, that is? And how many Masters are there?"

"Doctor, I don't understand," whined Peri.

"We're not quite sure where he is but knowing myself I'm mostly likely off doing my own invastigating." Ten said.

Seven sighed, remembering his oblivious American companion. He should have stayed with people from Britain and left her with her old life. At least she would be alive that way, and out of his way for that matter. But she was back for the time being.

"You see my dear, we are all timelords. The same timelord to be precise and all of me are here." One explained to Peri. "We have been pulled here by some force that we believe to be coming from this meteor."
 
"Well actually, not all of us are here." Five pointed out, "It would be a lot more crowded, what with companions as well."

"Just think, we would have had to get more tea," Martha pointed out to Rose.
 
Peri still looked confused, but taking a cue from all of the Doctors who were old enough to remember her, Two decided to leave her that way. He addressed himself instead.

"We don't really know about the Master, as far as I know my selves haven't seen any more of him they recognize..." He got a collective nod of assent on this point. "So there may be just the one. Though it does seem unlikely, doesn't it?"

"He has a good point," Benton said, indicating Five. "If this one is Six, and that gentleman there is Ten, where's numbers four, eight and nine? Or are there more than that?"

Jamie grinned and rocked back on his heels. "We'll have an entire regiment o' Doctors if this keeps up."

"Oh no. Oh no no no, I don't like the sound of that at all," muttered Two.

Six considered this for a moment and looked down at his empty tea cup. "You don't happen to have any biscuits, do you?"

--

"This is ridiculous," Three muttered. He raised his voice. "Look, wherever you are, I'll help you out with your little geology experiment. You're wasting time, and for all you know it may be affecting you just as much as me!"

"Not that I'm complaining," said Five, "seven of us is quite enough."

"Biscuits, I knew we forgot something when we got the tea," said Martha.

ooc: I just thought of an interesting question. If I were to be the ninth doctor, is there a time when the ninth doctor was by himself?
 
ooc: Well, Nine was with Rose - he could be looking for her when he shows up, because she 'disappeared' (i.e. got sucked into Ten's timeline). ;)
