Defying Fate

Jack Harkness lost himself in the music, dancing in the warmth of Harper's arms. This moment meant everything.

They kissed. Harkness thought he would die of longing. The Japanese girl called to him - why? He heard Harper mutter, "To hell with it," as he took Jack's hand, and led him into blinding light.

Jack stepped out of the dance-hall with Harper. It was daylight here. There were strange vehicles in the street. A dark-haired girl in trousers threw herself into Harper's arms, hugging him. "You made it!"

Harper said, "Gwen, meet my namesake. Jack? Welcome to the twenty-first century."
