The Companions Are Alarmed

"Great," said Knight Random. "What do we do now? We still haven't figured out what we're doing here or what the rules to this 'game' we're supposed to be playing are."

"The Doctor seemed to think there might be answers to be found in the library," said Dayanara.

"The Doctor is deluded," said the Master. "What useful knowledge could he possibly hope to gain from a high school library?"

"Well, it works on Buffy," said Ragan, a little defensively.

"Um, weren't we told not to go into the library? Something about probable injury and death?" said Time Warrior.

"Yes, but we were also told that failure to report to the office and pick up our schedules would also result in death, and that hasn't happened, has it?" said Dayanara.

A strange wailing alarm suddenly rang out, filling the hallways.

"You had to say it," said Ragan. "You just had to say it!"

"You think that's about us?" asked TW nervously. "You think they're coming to get us?"

"Nah." They all whirled around at the sound of the voice, which was coming from one of the kids in the row behind them. "That's not the security alarm. The security alarm goes WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP! The WAAAAAIIIIL WAAAAIIIIL WAAAAIIIIL one is the chaos energy alarm." He was doing a pretty good impression of the various alarm noises, too.

"Oh. That's a relief," said KR. "Uh, so what does the chaos energy alarm mean?"

The kid kicked leaned back in his seat and casually put his feet up on his desk. "Oh, just that we might all die."

"I guess it would hardly be Doctor Who otherwise," muttered TW.

"So what, exactly, is 'chaos energy,' anyway?" asked Dayanara, but before she could get an answer to her question, she were interrupted by:

1. A sudden influx of chaos energy. (It was bright purple.)
2. A PA announcement calmly asking everyone to duck and cover under their desks.
3. The Master finally losing his temper and throwing a desk at the PA speaker to make the annoying alarm shut up.
4. The arrival of a substitute teacher.
5. The spontaneous combustion of the kid with his feet on the desk.
6. A sudden scene change back to the plight of the Doctor.
