The Doctor rolled his eyes slightly as Amy tossed that hat somewhere. He didn't bother to look right now though. He'd turned his head to look at a near-by screen that would display exactly where they were. A look of surprise crossed his face as he took in the co-ordinates. Well this was certainly unexpected, highly unexpected in fact. Of all the times and places to bring them to why had the TARDIS chosen to bring them here?

"What are you up to girl?" he murmured quietly, running a hand over a shiny, metalic surface. The TARDIS didn't respond to his words and he sighed. He turned around and smiled slightly as Amy broke Rory out of whatever thoughts he'd been occupied with. The Doctor had a feeling he knew what at least part of those thoughts entailed but didn't voice his theory aloud, not wanting to be insensetive to Rory's situation. It wasn't exactly easy coming back from the dead. He'd regenerated 10 times after all since this was his eleventh body...he should know.

He was broken out of his own thoughts by Rory's question and he looked at the two humans. He could tell that they were both ready to go out, ready for something knew. Or at least Amy was. She seemed to almost be buzzing with pent up energy, ready to be let lose at any moment. He was definitely very grateful he'd told her to leave the sword in the TARDIS. "We," he said, walking confidently over to the TARDIS door and swinging it open. "Are officially in the small town of Hoshi, Japan, Planet Earth, 2011. Don't ask me why, don't know. The TARDIS chose the destination this time, not me. Still, let's go out and explore a bitty shall we?" He grinned at the pair but didn't open the door yet, waiting to see what they'd do, if either of them would want to be the first one out for a change.

Jack was broken from his thoughts by the feel of...something nearby. He didn't know what it was but he knew what it was related to. He'd felt it, a ripple in Spacetime. He'd become atuned to that feeling over the years and knew that it could only mean one thing. There was time energy around here somewhere. How did he manage to get himself into these situations? Even when he was so far away from Cardiff he was still finding time anomylies! It was familiar to him but not familiar like the rift. He'd grown used to taht by now. No this was different and familiar and...

Could it really be who he thought it was?

He stood from the bench and began to look around, searching for the source of the spacetime ripple. It had come from...that direction, north of the square. It had felt relatively close. What should he do though? Should he go or should he stay where he was? Why was The Doctor here? Why now? Why not when the 456 had come and taken Ianto from him? Why hadn't The Doctor been there then? He was still frozen in place as he saw the blue box materialise out of the corner of his eye. It was on the other side of the fountain with the four dragons releasing jets of water from their mouths. Jack was partially hidden because of the angle but he could see the box and he knew that it was The Doctor, knew he hadn't been mistaken.
