Just please review what you think.


51st Century Earth

"Brrrrruuummm!" I said pushing the small red fire truck a long across the living room carpet. "Ni nor ni nor," I said, "Emergency!" I stopped the fire truck in front of a Lego building with fake fire. "Ahh help me!" I said grapping a small Lego figure and putting its arms up in shock, hanging it halfway out the window. I tumbled out firemen from the fire truck and set them to work, banishing the fire away. Then the doorbell went. I pretended I didn't notice, hoping my older sister would get up from her position on the couch reading some new magazine, instead making the small Lego firemen rescue the one in the window. I was lucky. I heard her sigh in exasperation, before getting up and answering the door.

I carried on playing, until I heard my sister shouting. I looked up to see her coming in crying and then picking me up into a bundle, wrapping her arms around me tightly. Her black hair hung loosely around her shoulders.

"Sissy? What's wrong?" I asked upset because she was upset.

She unfurled me from her arms and said, "Daddy's home."

Nothing in her voice told me she was happy. But she should be? Because we barely see Daddy and when we do he takes up to the most extraordinary places.

"Dad," My sister said looking around to see Dad in the doorway, "You tell him."

She still kept her grips as Dad came forward.

I had never seen him so upset; he looked like he had been crying at one point. His head hung low, his arms droopy as he came over and hugged me. I noticed he was still wearing the same suit we had last seen him in. He only did it to impress Mummy, Sissy told me.

"I am so sorry, Mathew." He said his voice wavering with emotion.

"But…Mummy's not coming home."

I wasn't stupid even at the age of eight. He said my full name instead of 'Matty' or 'Matt'. There was a reason why Mummy's wasn't coming home and it wasn't going to be good.

Daddy bent down even more looking directly into my eyes and said, "You understand why Mathew how I'm never always here?"

I nodded, I did. I had once asked Mummy why and she had said that she and Daddy don't meet in the right order that we have to be careful what we say because we could get a Daddy who didn't know us. So I never found myself running to the door if I heard his name get called, or if I knew if it was him. You could never be sure, Mummy said, you can never be sure.

Daddy took a deep breath, "Well the first time I met Mummy, was at the Library."

I sent a confused look at my Dad, not fully understanding, where was he going with this? Yes he had said Mummy died, but what has it got to with a Library?

"You must understand Mathew that I didn't know who Mummy was. And because of that I didn't trust her…" he trailed off, pain crossing his features before pulling himself together. "And that was also the day that Mummy…died."

Then I remembered what Mummy said before she had gone this morning.

"Now, Libby I want you to stay home and look after your brother,"

"Mum I know, I get what you mean." Sissy said folding her arms, "Just don't be gone that long okay? I had to feed this brat for a whole week last time." She gestured to me.

"Hey!" I shouted annoyed.

Mummy smiled, before hugging Sisy saying, "Just don't get on each other's nerves too much."

"Mum I'm twelve; I'm pretty capable to look after Matt." Sissy said.

"I know, just most twelve year olds would be playing on their iPod's. Not shooting rabbits for target practice." She gave Sissy a stern look before bending down and hugging me.

"Now sweetie I want you to be the delightfully angel you are. And try not to make the biggest elastic band ball in the universe." She gave an exasperated sigh after breaking the hug.

"It wasn't that big I swear!" I cried.

"It was bigger than the bloody house!" Sissy shouted, "And how I failed to notice it is beyond me!" She then stalked off to the living room leaving Mum and me near the door. Sissy got like that, it was a girly thing apparently.

Mum turned to me, after watching Sissy go, "Do you want a book?" She asked.

"A book?" I questioned.

"Yes a book from the biggest library in the universe."

My eyes widen, "Is that where you're going and can I get the Five Sontarans?"

She smiled, "Yes and of course Sweetie."

I felt excitement bubble up inside me, "Dose Sissy get one?"

"Yes Sissy will get one as well," Mummy answered. She gave me another hug, before kissing me on the cheek and saying, "I have to go now Sweetie, look after your sister."

She then walked out the door still smiling and closed it behind her.

I stood there for a few moments and then came up with the brilliant plan to annoy Sissy.

I cried and I couldn't stop. The tears found my way to my eyes and poured down so fast. Dad just held me, letting me cry everything out. I didn't know what to think Mummy was dead and she wasn't coming back…She was never coming back. I heard Sissy start crying again and started hugging us both. I buried my face in Daddy's shoulder, wanting everything to not ever be so true. It's a shame that never seems to work.


21st Century Earth

We walked down the path to the park, me and Sissy, she was holding my hand as we walked. We were in Leadworth now, we had come to see Nana and Granddad and tell them of the news. When Daddy had landed the TARDIS he said that me and Sissy should go to the park, while he broke the news to our Grandparents. He looked especially grim when he said the last part.

We found a park bench in front of the park and sat down. We were especially quiet and hadn't talked seen we had left the house to see Nana and Granddad. We both had too much on our minds.

I watched the other kids play on the swings, the see-saw, the round-about and the slide, all laughing and giggling. They couldn't care less about our loss.

"You okay now Matt?" Sissy asked.

I didn't say anything instead I carried on staring at the other kids.

"…Why not we go and play on the swings? Something to distract us?" Sissy asked hopefully.

"…I…don't…" I couldn't seem to form the words in my mouth instead feeling frustrated and ended up crying again. Fat tears rolled down my cheek, this just made me angry.

Sissy wrapped her arms around me saying, "I-I'm going to do something about it. We'll save Mummy somehow…I-I've hadn't worked out how, but if we give ourselves time and have a good hard long think. T-then we can do it Matt. We can save Mummy. I promise."

By the end of her speech she was in tears herself. We sat there, crying until we could not cry anymore. The only thing we had was each other's comfort. No words needed to be spoken. What I can say is that Sisy always keeps her promises.


Well did you like it? Was it sad enough? Something tells me it probably wasn't...But then you guys can tell me if it is or not. Review!
