Wilfred Mott was sitting in the living room of his house, watching TV with his daughter, Sylvia Noble, on the couch opposite him. His granddaughter, Donna, was staying with them while her husband was away on a business trip, she was upstairs in the spare room, lying on the bed reading a fiction book about this boy that travelled to different worlds with friends of his. Wouldn't that just be wizard, she said to herself as she bookmarked her page and lay her head back on her pillow, closing her eyes, going to different worlds. If only that were true and could actually happen. But everyone knew it wasn't.
At Torchwood Three in Cardiff, underneath The Hub, Gwen Cooper and Captain Jack Harkness were the only ones around. There had been no new surges of energy from the Rift so Ianto had gone out to buy a birthday present for his mother and Gwen was sitting at the computer, checking the team's emails when it beeped a warning sound. She squinted her eyes as she moved the mouse and clicked on the Warning as Jack was walking past her, coffee in his hand.
"Jack" She said.
"What is it, Gwen?" Jack asked as he walked up to the computer, "Rift activity?"
"No, nothing like that," Gwen replied, "It's not even in Cardiff"
"What is it?!" Jack asked again, more demanding this time.
"A huge surge of alien energy has been sensed" Gwen stated.
"What kind of energy?" Jack inquired.
"I'm scanning now" Gwen answered.
The two watched as the computer scanned, and when it was finally at 100%, "Unknown".
"Where is it coming from, Gwen?" Jack asked.
"Chiswick" Gwen stated.
Jack's eyes widened. He knew who lived in Chiswick. And he was pretty sure he knew what kind of energy was being picked up. He chugged his last bit of coffee down and slammed the cup onto the desk next to Gwen, running upstairs.
"Where are you going?!" Gwen asked, spinning around in her chair.
"Chiswick!" Jack called.
"What for?!" Gwen yelled up.
"And I'm taking the emergency helicopter! Also, call Ianto back, we might need him!" she could hear Jack yelling back.
Gwen rolled her eyes and spun back around on her chair, picking up the phone next to her.
Donna Noble opened her eyes, and with a gasp, sat straight up. She sat there for a few seconds, then looked around the room. She was home. Oh, they were in big trouble. She jumped off her bed and fumed downstairs to the living room.
"Where is he?!" Donna howled as she reached the entrance of the living room.
Her mother and granddfather turned to look at her.
"Where is who, darling?" Sylvia asked her daughter.
"The Doctor!" Donna screamed, waving her arms.
Wilfred and Sylvia eyed each other with concern.
"Doctor who?" Syvia asked.
"Yeah, you're not sick, sweetheart, why would we order one?" Wilfred said.
"Oh, don't play stupid with me, you two," Donna growled at them, "You know perfectly well who I'm talking about. Skinny man in a suit, wears a trenchcoat, travels through time and space AND LEFT ME HERE!"
Wilfred and Sylvia stared at her, eyes wide. Donna could see that they were both almost in tears.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell" She apologised.
"Don't be, honey" Sylvia said, turning away.
Wilfred ran up to Donna, throwing his arms around her.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, sweetheart" He said.
