A/N: The thought of this story came when I was watching Once Upon A Mattress with my 3 year old next door neighbour, so I might have been a bit dazed. Sorry in advanced for any typos c:

Lulu learnt from a very young age that you have to expect the unexpected. However extraordinary it might be. Well, being the daughter of an ex-time traveller kind of frees your mind a little more.

But, when she was finishing her homework, packing the book back onto her schoolbag so she could hand it to her Maths teacher the following morning; the least thing she expected was to hear a vworp, vworp of something alien and a loud crash!, which she expected was the small metal shed her father build when she was 10. She ran down the stairs and swung open the large, wooden back door that leads you to the fairly big backyard of her childhood home. A few metres away was a large, dark blue vintage looking police box. The box that was often mentioned in her fairy tales.

Lulu stood there, dazed. The doors of the police box swung and a young, handsome looking man stepped out, followed by a woman with amazing curly golden hair and a teenage looking boy with beautiful sea green eyes.

"Hello! I'm The Doctor. This is my Wife River and our son Jack. You are?" The man, who introduced himself as "The Doctor" said in a happy, friendly sounding voice.

Lulu stood there, stunned. "That's not how mum described him. She said he was dapper. He looks clumsy"

"Told you to put the stabilisers on." River muttered

"I know who you are." Lulu mumbled.

"Are you alright?" River asked.

"Oh. Umm, yeah. I'm, uh, Lulu." She was able to stutter out. Her face flushed pink, embarrassed by the way she perceived herself. "I've practised this speech thousands of times in the mirror. Chill out Lou!"

"Lulu, do you have tea? Or Jammy Dodgers? The TARDIS ran out, and well, I really need some tea. We could have gone to the Tea Planet, but, human tea is by far the best." The Doctor rambled out, while River and Jack rolled their eyes respectively.

"Yeah, just go on through. You will walk straight into the kitchen. Sorry about the mess, Grandma and Grandpa went away for 3 weeks." Lulu said, a bit more composed. Inside her head, she was screaming and jumping around. What was she doing inviting strangers into her house? Was she absolutely crazy?

"Don't worry, you should see Jack room. It's disgusting." River smiled warmly, trying to break the tension between the four as they filed into the warm looking house.

They made their way into the large kitchen, while Lulu filled up the kettle and placed it on the burner. She also grabbed all the tea in the house and placed it onto the island located in the middle of the kitchen. She also 4 grabbed mugs.

"Look at all this tea!" The Doctor said gleefully. His smile faltered when his eye caught a photo hanging up on the wall in the kitchen.

"No. No no no. You can't be. NO!" The Doctor yelled, flailing his arms around.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" River asked in a loving tone.

The Doctor leant down and whispered something in River's ear.

"Oh my god." River whispered.

"What?" Lulu asked, her voice filled with confusion.

"Lulu, what's your full name?" River asked slowly, standing up and walking over to stand near her.

"Lulu Rose Tyler. Why?"

"Oh god. I should have seen it! You have her eyes for god sakes! And my nose! Well, his nose, but it was mine…"

The Doctor stood up, kicked his chair, and started pacing.

"You know who I am, don't you?" The Doctor asked. His eyes were closed and he was rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Yeah. Of course I do. Mum and Dad would always tell me stories of the adventures you've been on. I know who River is too. You didn't know that Dad was left with all your memories, did you? He told me about all your companions and the impossible adventures you have been on. Mum always told me that you would find me. She said I always looked like Dad. Which kinda means I look like you. Well, old you anyway." Lulu said, standing still.

"Where are they? You said you were living with your grandparents, Jackie and Pete?"

"Yeah. Mum and Dad are dead. They died 2 years ago, when I was 14."

"What? Oh god, Rose. I'm so sorry." The man's head was now cradled in his hands. River stood up and started rubbing soothing circles on The Doctor's back.

"Yeah. This is the first time I have been left alone since then. Jackie and Pete have kept a close eye on me. They would sometimes get uncle Troy to look after me, god help him. Tea's ready." Lulu walked over to the kettle and brought it over to table and poured the boiling water onto the mugs.

"How did they die Lulu?" River asked quietly, still rubbing The Doctor's back.

"They died in a plane crash. Lost at sea. It was their 17th wedding anniversary and Pete paid for them to go to Hawaii, exotic paradise. They got caught in a bad patch of turbulence. Brought down the plane with Mum and Dad." Lulu's eye's started to water; she hasn't gone into so much detail about her parent's death ever.

"Come with us." This is the first time Lulu had heard Jack talk. He had a very smooth voice. She could tell that if he wasn't very much alien, he would be the focus of most of the girls attention at school.

"Jack! Only of you want to Lulu. We haven't had a human on board for so long. It would be great to make some more memories, Eh?" The Doctor said hopefully, a glint in his eyes and a smile on his face that perceived him to look like a 9 year old.

"Umm, yeah okay. Can I just grab some stuff?"

"Sure. Grab some solid shoes, awful lot of running!" The Doctor almost yelled.

"Really? I can't really run a lot. I have 2 hearts. If I run a lot I have heart palpitations which could be fatal. Dad had two hearts, kindly passed it on to me."

"Oh. Okay then. Tone down the running! Maybe we could go to the Tea Planet then! Go off and pack supplies! We will be leaving in 15 minutes!" The Doctor clapped his hands and raced outside, reefed open the Police Box's doors and eagerly jumped in. Jack stood up out of his chair and grabbed onto Lulu's slender wrist and pulled her out of his mother's sight.

"Sorry about him," Looking pointingly at the blue box through the large window in the door. "He's a bit, mental." Jack said, with a sincere apology sketched on his eyes.

"Don't worry. My dad was the same." She let out a shaky laugh. No one ever talked this nicely to her apart from her family before. Everyone at her school thought she was a freak. They always would stay clear of her. She thought she had that kind of "vibe" about her.

"Ha. But when you're packing, pack light. The TARDIS has a wardrobe and everything, so only bring your essentials." Jack smiled brightly, ran his hand down one of Lulu's arms and walked out the door.

Lulu ran straight into her bedroom and grabbed the first bag she could find big enough to carry her things. She grabbed random books, her favourite boots and a picture of her mum and dad and raced down the stairs. She locked all the doors and windows and with a final goodbye to her childhood home and walked briskly towards the TARDIS. She took a deep breath and opened the dark blue wooden door. An adventure waiting for her.

A/N: What do you think? Should I continue? If you follow my other stories, I'm not very dependable when it comes to multi chapter stories, but if you guys like it, I will try and fit as much writing into school and such. Reviews are very much appreciated!
