“Start a new life with me!  Buy his freedom with your love!  Refuse me and you send your lover to his death.  This is the choice.  This is the POINT OF NO RETURN!!!!!”

 

                THWORP.  THWORP.  THWORP.

 

                All three occupants of the dank and dismal underground lair froze, their mouths falling open as a large, friendly looking blue box materialized on the lake shore.  The door cracked open and a tall, wiry man with square black glasses and a casual pinstriped suit stepped out.

 

                “Ah,” his eyes twinkled.  “Sorry about that, I seem to be…interrupting something.”  His eyes trailed from Christine (who stood there looking pretty) to Erik (who was poised to break Raoul’s neck) to Raoul (who hung tied to the portcullis, panting like a ninny).  The strange man cracked a grin.  “Oh.  Oh, now that’s just priceless.”

 

                “Sir?”  Erik’s sunken eyes eye looked him up and down.  “Who are you?”

 

                “I’m the Doctor!” The man grinned, hands stuffed in his pockets as he strode to the water line.  “Would you mind untying that man?”

 

                “This -” Erik’s eyes took on a forlorn air as he gazed from Raoul to the Doctor.  Christine stood on shore, eyes as big as saucers.  “But…I need him here.”  Erik flailed his hands, gesturing at the purple-faced Raoul.  “I need to keep him strung up so I can -”

 

                “Guilt trip the young lady into snogging you?  Thought as much.  Come on now, let him go.  I know what I’m doing.”

 

                Erik scowled and proceeded to untie him, pulling tight in all the right places before letting them slack, but obviously too intimidated by the strange man to exact any real harm.  Raoul staggered free, tripping into a series of gorgeous splashes on his way to the shore.

 

                “Thank you!”  The strange man twined his arm around Raoul’s shoulders, heaving him to the TARDIS.  “Come on then.”

 

                “Where are you taking me?”  Raoul’s lank hair stuck to purpled lips as he spoke.

 

                “I’m bringing you to meet a lady.  Wonderful woman, really.  Name of Jackie – catchy, no?  Makes fabulous tea.”

 

                Raoul hardly had the strength to protest.  “Will I like her?”

 

                The pair cleared the threshold of the TARDIS.  The Doctor let him down to slump against the nearest railing and looked him in the eyes, the shadow of a grin threatening to spread.  “She will like you.”

 

                Raoul mumbled faintly as the Doctor poked his head out the door once more.  Erik and Christine were still staring, dumbfounded, at the TARDIS.

 

                “Well then, problem solved, eh?  You two make a lovely couple, if you don’t mind me saying.  Your children will be beautiful, I promise.  Bit snarky, but hell - you can’t have everything.  Bye then!”

 

                THWORP.  THWORP.  THWORP.

 

                Erik stared at Christine, whose eyes were still fixed on the spot the large and mysterious blue box had just vacated.

 

                “Christine.  My love.  We are free!”

 

                Christine’s star struck gaze found him slowly in the dim.

 

                “He was kinda hot, don’t you think?”
