I walked along the beach with my father's frail hand around my own. He was dying and there was nothing I could do to stop it. He had fallen ill due to his humanity, but my father was far from being human, and yet he fell ill for being almost one.

John Noble (a name he chose for himself to fit in with the humans of this universe). He was a man who stopped wars and defied every word our science had to offer.

He was a genius, and an amazing father who taught me everything I ever needed, and still allowed my own little twists and spins when it came to growing up. I, his only daughter, his only child.

Half human. Half Time Lord. Due to his Time Lord condition, our human medicine couldn't cure him. It just helped us prolong his already fading life.

He stopped calling himself Doctor once he married my mother, since he felt he wasn't THE "Doctor," but, instead, someone different, or so he said. My name is Comet. Something to remind them of all the space and time they journeyed around , when father wasn't father but, instead, someone else who lived in a parallel universe to mine. Who didn't know about me or what happened to my parents after being left on that beach.

In fact, they were left in this exact same beach my father and I walked upon, so many years ago, after he confessed love for my mother, because the other him knew he couldn't stay with her. He wanted to allow someone else (or a part of himself) live the life that he could never have.

That was the typical selflessness my father taught me, even if he was the one who received the happiness, The Doctor (the other form of himself, as my dad used to call him) knew that his happiness wouldn't be achievable, for he needed to save the universe.

There was no one else who could.

He used to tell me stories of Gallifrey located in the Kasterborous constellation. My father used to talk about his life as a child (or at least the Doctor's childhood) about the school for training young Time Lords, as one would expect. He was part of the Prydonian chapter of the Academy.

He also talked about amazing trips around the other universe he had taken before and with my mother , with nostalgia and yet somehow impersonal. For some bizarre reason, my father felt the need to distance himself to the other man he once belonged to. Maybe because his almost human body was becoming incapacitated by the Time Lord mind, a ticking time bomb ready to blow up. A Time Lord mind confined to an almost human body. A blessing and a curse at the same time, due to the fact that it was killing him. He understood the consequences, as well as the other man did, and still went along with it because he loved my mother so dearly.

My father stopped for a second in front of the sea.

"Comet, my little silly Comet, I will not stop you cause I know you are as stubborn as I am, but you need to understand. What you're thinking is dangerous. It's absolutely insane , dangerous and probably not even worth it. Did I already say, 'Dangerous?' He who you are trying to seek, The Doctor... Me. Wow I haven't thought about the other me in so long. You have no idea how troubled he might be, he might not even have the same face as me anymore. Whilst I was here living a marvelous life, he has probably suffered more loss than the last time I remember. He lost your mother. Twice. I only did once, and so many have crossed his life and left, some staying longer than others, but still leaving at the end. His loss is so immense, I can't assure he would help me. He probably has forgotten me, as I did him." As my dad spoke those words he took my other hand with his free hand

"My little girl, how come you grew up so fast? It feels like yesterday I was teaching you how to walk." He said almost too cheesy for my taste.

"Stop being so corny. You aren't like this. Let me go say goodbye to mom." I said as the lovely blonde woman I called mother caught up with us.

" Mom, dad, I promise you I will cross the void safely, I will return with The Doctor. He will help you, even if I have to bring him against his own will. I love you both so much. Hang in there until I come back dad. We can save you. I love you." I said hugging both my parents tightly to me.

I took the little watch like contraption from my pocket and found the weak spot in the fabric of our universe that connected it with the other. Even if the tear was minuscule I could get through.

Years of perfecting machinery and transportation methods made me feel that I would cross the void safely. I pressed the ignition and soon everything became a blur as my body was transported into particles to the place I was trying to arrive at.

Crossing the void felt like ripping chunks of my body to cross, so, extremely painful. When I felt myself materializing, the excruciating pain of traveling was over. I walked around the beach, my parents nowhere in sight, obviously since they weren't there.

I walked to the nearest city I could find, taking the first plane I could to London, I realized that I had come to 2017, the wrong year, not the same year I had left my universe in, I think it was because I wasn't good calibrating the dates within my own machines and because this was where the rupture had taken me.

It was not a real problem, Knowing the Doctor of my father's tales, he was more than likely to be found meddling in human affairs and soon I would find him.

Maybe my transporter had brought me to the precise moment to find him or maybe it was trying to give me at least 10 yearsto find him before the time my father fell ill. I arrived to London. It looked so much more different than the London I knew. They never had to deal with Cybermen or, they did not in the scale my universe had to deal with. Plenty of things that were destroyed in my own city stood proud and tall in this alternate reality. Technology was far inferior, not only because it was 2017, just in general. So many creations that we had when I was less than a baby were new and innovative here, but to me they were almost obsolete, I could handle it.

I was more than ready to find him because I'd swore to my father I would.

My blood would find him. I promise you that much ,

I could sense when my father was around and I know that he is close.

There is not a doubt in my body. I will find him.
