26th July 2001
"Happy Birthday Robin!" Robins' parents shrilled as she clapped delightfully at the cake her mother had baked her for her 5th birthday.
"Thanks Mummy, thanks Daddy! You're the best parents ever!" Robin said, smiling gleefully up at them. Birthdays were always a joyous, but heart breaking occasion for the family. Heart breaking mostly coming from her parents. They had been warned by him. She could regenerate at any time he had warned. Be careful. And take care of her. please. She's all I have. He had said. Normal and Happy. Until twelve long years later.
September 2013
Robin Sat in her room, headphones in, listening to MCR. Her homework was discarded carelessly at the end of her bed. Robin had always been a procrastinator with most things; whether it was school work or organising a cinema trip with her one friend. Downstairs, she could hear strained shouts. Taking out her headphones, she listened hard to the shouts.
"She has to know. What are we going to do when he comes back?" Her Dad shouted.
"Sam. Please. You know she can't know until she's ready. Up until then, I want her to live a normal, happy life." Her mother said, sounding on the verge of tears.
"That's the thing Helen. She can't. He warned us. I think she's ready. Helen, She's eighteen years old. A legal adult. She has every right to know as much as we do." Her Father insisted. She could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. One. By. One. Robin's heart was pumping, but she sat back and acted normal. She smiled as her Father came into her room.
"Your mother and I have something very important to give to you. Read this." Her father said, tears glistening in his ageing grey eyes.
He handed her the letter. Opening it with shaking hands, Robin looked up at her father.
"Thanks dad. I'm not sure what to expect but I heard you and Mum arguing. It must be something important."
She took the letter out of the envelope and started to read.
My Dearest Robin,
If you are reading this then you are old enough to know the truth. The people you are living with now have cared for you for eighteen long years, and I commend them for that. Thank them for all their work. Please accept your true identity. This will be hard: and it was hard for me writing this eighteen years ago, but you are an alien. A time lady. You might not believe this, but you are. As I said; you must accept your true identity. A time lord/ time lady is an alien race from the long-gone planet Gallifrey. That's all you need to know for now. All will be revealed when I come at exactly 1400 on the 26th of September 2013. See you then.
Love from, Your loving Father,
The Doctor.
