If someone asked Rose Tyler how she met the Doctor, she would say that he blew up her job. If you asked me, I would say he blew up my school. Ironic, isn't it? My name is Brooke Matthews, and I was 15 when I met the Doctor. I only realised then that my life was sonly just beginning. You already know about Rose, Martha and Donna's adventures with the Doctor, so now its time to hear about mine.

I suppose with a story, it's customary to start at the beginning. But me, well, I'm going to start at the end. I'm going to start at the point in my life hewn I knew all hope was lost, when I knew there was no way out, when I knew the world was doomed, when I knew the world was going to be handed over to the darkness.
