Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

Ianto raised his hand covering his eyes and looked around, suddenly blinded by brilliant light. As his eyes slowly adjusted he blinking, trying to figure out where he was. They were all there, Mathias, Jack, Kas, Dani, the Doctor, John… but something… something wasn’t right.

“That’s a wrap!” Called a voice from somewhere behind the lights and applause rang out, hoots of hollers of happiness, calls of congratulations and back slapping. “Good job, people, good job! It’s been a long four months but we did it. Wrap party is on the backlot! Simm, you’re wife’s on the phone.”

Ianto looked around at the HUB, or at least, what he thought was the HUB. It looked like the HUB, well, part of the HUB. The rift manipulator was standing in front of them and the rest of the HUB…well it was all green. He looked up to see a series of lights hanging overhead and he looked at Jack who was looking about as dumbfounded as he was.

“What’s… what happened?” Kas asked and her hands covered her mouth, eyes going wide. Her accent was gone. It was… American. “Jack?”

“Mom!” Called a voice and Dani let out a startled cry as arms wrapped around her waist, quickly followed by another pair as two young boys hugged her. “You were great!” Said the older boy and the younger one nodded. “Lots of fun!” Said the smaller boy.

“Hi… guys,” Dani said slowly squatting down and she looked at the Doctor and then Ianto as they wrapped their arms around her neck showering her face with kisses. “I don’t think,” she said.

“I’ll fix this,” the Doctor replied pulling out his sonic screwdriver. “Most likely the rift was thrown off slightly by the shockwaves and if I just,” he flicked the screwdriver on crouching in front of the manipulator, the blue light on the end lighting up but no sound coming forth. “What in the…” he frowned and turned it off, then back on shaking it. Standing up he turned the screwdriver over in his hands looking at Dani. “It’s, plastic.” He said snapping it in two and tossing it aside.

“At least we still look good,” John said with a smile.

“Tell her I’ll call her back!” Called another voice and the Master walked past them, wiping silver paint off his face. “I need to shower. I’ll meet her for dinner.” He turned to look at the Doctor. “See you next weekend at the convention, David. It’s been fun.” He gave them all a broad grin. “I’ll see you at the party.”

“Can we have cake?” One of the boys around Dani’s legs asked.

“Come on guys, give you Mom some space.” Said a man’s voice. “You look great,” he said coming forward and giving Dani a hug, kissing her. Dani pulled back with a shake of her head, hands on his chest.

“Do I… do I know you?” She asked.

“Angie,” he said with a laugh and shook his head. “Heidi’s got Shi, Z and the twins at the trailer and they’re dying to see you.”

“Doctor?” She asked turning to look at him, confused. She had… how many kids?

“David,” the man said extending a hand to the Doctor. “I’ve heard a lot about you. Angie’s got nothing but good things to say about you, all of you really. I’m Brad.”

“I’m,”

“John,” said another voice as another man, this one brunette came up wrapping his arm around Jack’s waist and leaning against him. A black cocker spaniel ran around his feet and jumped up, licking Jack’s hand affectionately. “I’m taking Teagan home. Don’t stay out to late, you’ve got to be in the studio in the morning.” He leaned up kissing Jack’s cheek affectionately. “Love you.”

“Love you too,” Jack said in a confused tone, and watched the man’s ass as he walked away.

“He’s cute,” John said. “Tell me you tap that.”

“Apparently,” Jack replied.

“Ana!” Called a woman rushing over to Kas carrying a PDA, her arms full of papers. “You’re going to have to skip the wrap party. You’re shooting for Ugly Better in the morning back in New York. Sign these,” she said shoving a few papers in Kas’s hands. “They’re just the franchise papers, outlining your percent of the profit, and a list of contractual agreements for Fracture promotional dates. I’ve got to run, just give them to Anders and he’ll give them to me. Thanks hon.”

“David!” Ianto let out a grunt of surprise as he was tackled from behind. A woman’s arms wrapped around his neck, lips on his flesh and legs wrapping around his waist. “I just couldn’t wait for you any more.”

“Carys?” Gwen asked looking at the woman. “You look,”

“Good to see you again Eve,” Sara said sliding up under Ianto’s arm, resting her head on his chest. “We really should have a house warming party,” she said looking up at him. “Invite everyone.”

“Maybe…”

“This weekend?” She said. “That’d be great. You’re staying in town for a few more days, right?”

Brad nodded. “We’re not leaving for another week, right honey?” He draped an arm around Dani’s shoulders.

“Thomas,” said another voice coming up to Mathias who’d been standing quietly, watching everything going on trying to sort it all out. “Lena’s in your trailer. She arrived about a half hour ago.” The man handed Mathias a sheet of paper. “Your itinerary for the weekend. Remember you’ve got that premiere for Wanted next weekend. Hey Angie, good to see you again.”

“Hi,” Dani said looking more than a little overwhelmed.

“Rhys,” Gwen said taking a step towards her husband but Jack grabbed her hand shaking his head and she looked up at him for a moment angry, as though thinking that he was asserting his dominance over her but then realizing that he was just stopping her from doing something potentially foolish. Her eyes scanned over the area and she could see cameras on the other side of the lights, chairs with names stitched into them “John, Ana, Gareth, Angelina, David, Thomas, and James.” She walked over to the chairs, no one stopping her and she picked up what appeared to be a script of some sort that was sitting there.

Torchwood Movie: Fracture
John Barroman – Captain Jack Harkness


With a frown she set it down on the seat and picked up another one that was almost identical though this one read with the name Eve Myles – Gwen Cooper. “Hey Eve,” said Rhys, well, whoever was passing himself off at Rhys and she felt sick to her stomach. Flipping the papers her eyes scanned the words and feeling the color drain from her face she returned to the others. “Guys, can I talk to you for a minute? Kind of a… cast thing.” She said with a smile.

“Not a problem,” Brad said. “Come on boys, let’s get back to the family.” He took the boys hands and led them away, the others leaving until Jack, Kas, Ianto, Dani, the Doctor, Mathias, John and herself were standing alone, the lights slowly turning off around them, people chatting and laughing not paying attention to them.

“What the bloody hell is going on?” Kas hissed. “New York? Ugly Betty? Ana? My accent…”

Gwen held out the two scripts that she’d picked up. “It’s not our world. Something happened, we’re not in the right place.”

“Oh you think so sweetheart?” John quipped.

“There’s a bunch of these over there,” Gwen said. “They’ve all god other people’s names on them, along with our own… and the words… look at them, they’re exactly what we… it’s…”

The Doctor took the script from her flipping through it quickly. “She’s right. It appears that we were able to set the world right, without the Kindred and the Master taking over but,”

“But we didn’t get it totally right.” Jack said running his hand through his hair. “Something went wrong.”

“What do we do?” Kas asked.

“I’m not a mother,” Dani said quickly. “I’ve got… how many kids?!? I can’t, I can’t do this.”

“It’s all right, Dani.” The Doctor said. “We’ll sort this out and fix it. We just need to figure out what happened, and how to fix it. For the time being, I suppose it’s safe to say that we’ve been thrust into something of an alternate dimension, or our consciousnesses traded with our counterparts where they’re… actors apparently.”

“We’re what?” Ianto asked dumbfounded. It of course made sense, well as much as anything that had to do with Torchwood made sense. “So let me get this straight… they activated the Rift and used this Eye to tear it open fully,”

“Across the universe and dimensions.” The Doctor said. “In an effort to wipe out all known life.”

“And alternate Jack, met up with our Jack,”

“Causing a trans-dimensional explosion that had the potential to destroy everything.” The Doctor continued. “My guess at the moment would be that the Eye, combined with the Master and the Silvik was able to keep everything from tearing apart however he wasn’t able to put things exactly right.”

Dani nodded. “I remember feeling like I was being torn in a million directions.” She said. “I felt so… small…” A shiver ran through her body at the memory of it.

“I’m so bloody confused,” Gwen said. “What do we do?”

They all fell silent for a few minutes standing there quietly as people moved around them taking down parts of the set. “For now,” Jack said “we just… live our new lives until we figure things out. We saved the world, the universe, and there’s a party starting.”

“Now that sounds like it,” John said with a grin. “Deal with the problem later, and party.” He tilted his head back and laughed. “Come on, let’s go let loose!”

“Just remember,” the Doctor said “these are new lives that we have at the moment. Learn what you can and fit in. Don’t draw attention to yourself. Figure out who you are, and stick with it. We’ll keep in touch and sort this out because whoever we switched bodies with, are just as confused as we are… but they unfortunately not as, prepared for this… adventure.” He looked at the others and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face as an almost childlike enthusiasm filled him. If there was one thing that the Doctor loved, it was an unexpected adventure!



~~~~~~~~~~~~THE END~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~








OOC: That’s it… the official end of Fracture. It didn’t quite come off as I’d have liked because though I’ve been planning this epilogue for a while, it was a tad harder to write than I had anticipated. I want to thank mdnjr70, for without him this idea never would have come to me. His ‘fluff’ post inspired me so much so that it stuck in my head for the last month.

So to clear any and all confusion… The survivors have somehow switched places with the actors who play them in our world. They’ve been thrust into new lives and everything that they knew, their entire lives… is fiction in our world.

So if we ever do a sequel to this game… no aliens, no monsters, no nothing… just 7 people VERY out of place and trying to find a way home. :)

I just want to say that I hope you had as much fun with this game as I did. I know that this wasn't my best game as a mod by any means. When you compare this to Salem... it falls rather flat but you know, the first game is always the hardest, especially when you're starting something totally new.

Thank you all for playing. It's been fun. :)

OH MY GOD!!!!!!


Ok, I kind of new what you were doing but to see it all written out...Ianto and Mathias both straight and Kas an American working on this movie and going back to Ugly Betty. I mean just funny stuff. I read it laughing my ass off.

I love the sonic screwdriver breaking and being plastic. Danni with all the kids and Brad Pitt. I mean funny. It was brilliant. I can't believe you got the idea from my fluff peace; note to self, watch what I wright for fluff because you never know when it will come back and bite you in the butt. :caf:

Pretty much! You never know what's going to inspire me!

I liked this ending a lot more than what I had originally planned that's for sure! It's possible that this could end up being very... Slider-esque. :) We shall have to see if there's any interest in doing a sequel after my modding break.

Well I'm glad that you liked it!

I had fun writing it, though I had to research who was dating who, who had how many kids, what they were currently working on... :lol:

It took some work! I had fun with it though and I'd planned it forever really...once I got the idea in my head that's all there was.
