This really isn't his day; in fact it hasn't been his year. It all started a few months after his regeneration, after he invited Mickey on board and met Madam De Pompadour. After that incident Rose had packed her rucksack and demanded to go home, only she never went home. He got a phone call from Jackie demanding that he brought her daughter home for a while and when he asked what on Earth was she on about he realised Rose never went back to the Powell Estate. Both he and Jackie searched everywhere they could think Rose could be but they couldn't find her.
He still visited Jackie, to see if she heard from Rose, if she was all right, if there was any alien problems, the usual. Then one day he found Torchwood and there was a big epic battle between daleks and cybermen, he managed to stop them but it had meant that he needed to look for every crack in the universe and seal them off. That was when a bride suddenly appeared in his TARDIS.
A hot headed, red headed, slap happy bride who went by the name Donna Noble and was right now drinking tea with a sympathetic Jackie Tyler while talking about her fiancée as they were waiting for Donna's lift (since the Doctor refused to be taxi driver for Donna, he got her on Earth, the right time that was enough). His musings were cut of by a knock on the front door.
"I'll answer that" Jackie said getting up off the sofa and patting Donna's shoulder. "that should be your lift dear" roughly two seconds later Jackie was walking back in leading a young woman with messy brown hair styled to stick out everywhere with a bright pink streak on one side while wearing a purple bridesmaid dress.
Donna shot up of the sofa and pulled the young woman into a huge embrace. "Oh thank god I thought I was going to end up missing the reception as well the wedding"
"They already started without you" the brunette said scrunching up her nose "it was Nerys's idea"
"The skinny blonde cow" Donna grumbled.
"Oi watch it my mother is blonde" the brunette said in mock anger.
"Your mother is lovely, Nerys isn't!" Donna protested.
The brunette looked at Jackie and the Doctor, her eyes narrowing slightly "so who are they?" she asked.
"Thought you would know by now with your magical powers" Donna said.
"Introduce us please and remember we can't talk about that in public" the brunette said crossing her arms.
"This is Jackie Tyler and this is some weirdo who doesn't have a name. Nameless weirdo and Jackie this is my goddaughter Alex Rose"
"Nice to meet you sweetheart" Jackie said holding her hand out to Alex Rose, who was ignoring her. Jackie turned to see what Alex was looking at which was the TARDIS. "Oh that's a...that's a..." she was stuck on what to say.
"A TARDIS" Alex finished for her quietly. "It's a TARDIS, the last TARDIS in the whole universe"
"Hang on how do you know that?" the Doctor asked stepping forwards to the young woman, who was glaring at him.
"Which must make you the Doctor then" Alex said in a rather deadly voice that made the other three occupants of the room gulp.
"Yes, yes I am the Doctor; do I know you from somewhere?"
"no but you do now" it happened so quickly, one minute Alex was standing still the next she had punched the Doctor hard in the nose...hard enough to cause a nose bleed. She raised her fist for another punch when someone shouted;
"ALEX NO!"
Everyone turned to see a young man roughly Alex's age standing in the doorway; he had hair that stood on end like the Doctor's and his eyes were a dark brown.
"JJ it's him, the Doctor" Alex said pleadingly to the man.
"I know Alex but you can't beat him up because of what happened" JJ said stepping into the flat properly and pulling Alex away from the Doctor. "It's not exactly his fault we lived our lives the way we did"
"He could have prevented it" Alex hissed.
"How?" JJ asked laughing bitterly. "He didn't know we exist"
"You don't understand you don't have my gift. I see everything, everything that will be, and everything that could be..."
"I know sweetheart" JJ pulled Alex into an embrace. "Sorry for bothering you Ms Tyler, we'll be going"
"Wait don't!" the Doctor shouted. "I know what you two are...but how? How did you survive the war?"
"We were born after the war" JJ said.
"Where are your parents then? How did two Time Lords survive? Please I have to know!"
"We don't have a father" Alex said bitterly "and as for our mother, if you think I'll allow you near her you have another thing coming. Come on Donna"
The two recently revealed Time Lords and the redhead exited the flat without a second thought. The Doctor and Jackie ran out after them to see them climb into a bright blue car.
"You know it's strange, I never told that kid my name or how I prefer to be addressed" Jackie commented.
The Doctor saw another car, a black old fashioned taxi follow the blue car and inside he saw something familiar and so did Jackie.
"Not those bloody robotic Santa's again, if a Christmas tree tries to kill me it's your head on the platter" she snapped.
"I don't think they're after me Jackie...I think they're after Donna. Come on into the TARDIS we need to save them"
"Wha-"
The Doctor yanked Jackie back into the flat and dragged her into the TARDIS without explaining anything.

"You knew this was going to happen" Donna accused Alex.
"Of course I knew it was going to happen, I know everything that will happen" Alex said calmly as she drove onto the motor way.
"Why didn't you warn me?"
"Because you need to meet the Doctor" Alex said quietly. "And you need to save him Donna, everything depends on you. I'm so sorry"
"What for? Why me? I'm just a temp! I mean yeah I'm the godmother to two alien children but that's all that is interesting about me" Donna said looking upset and scared.
"Donna...I wish I could spare you the pain of what's to come but I can't" Alex whispered. "If it doesn't happen then the Doctor will die"
"But you hate the Doctor" Donna protested weakly.
"Yes but he does do good. If he dies tonight then the whole universe will be doomed. He is a hero whether or not I like him" Alex said calmly.
JJ who had been seating back in the passenger seat opened his eyes and looked at the mirror. "We're being followed" he said calmly.
Alex glanced up, "the robo scavengers, the ones Mum told us about in that Christmas story" she said grinning. "I could use a race to let out some adrenalin"
"Alex Rose no!" Donna shrieked.
"Too late!" Alex shouted gleefully, pressing a foot down on the peddle hard as she speeded up. The car behind them sped up as well. "Oh this is going to be fun"
"ALEX ROSE YOU SLOW DOWN NOW OR I'LL GET JACK TO CONFISCATE YOUR CAR!" Donna screeched.
"As if Jack would!" Alex snorted "especially when I tell him it was all to save your life"
Before Donna or JJ could make a comment a familiar blue box flew along the road and caught up to their side, the doors flung open and the Doctor standing there.
Alex pressed a button to open the window. "How desperate are you?" she asked.
"I've come to help you're being chased" the Doctor shouted.
"Really? I had no idea" Alex said sarcastically.
"Come on board, I'll help" the Doctor shouted.
"And leave my car here to get trashed? No thanks"
"Please Alex, I have no idea what I have done to upset you but I'm willing to work things out, just get everyone out of the car"
"May I suggest we get Donna out first?" JJ said speaking up.
"WHAT?"
"Donna get out, trust me please" JJ said "Alex wasn't kidding when she said everything depends on you"
"But I'm just a temp" Donna whispered.
"No you're not, you're our Aunt Donna and you can do anything" JJ said.
"Ok" Donna breathed "I'll do it, wish me luck" she slowly opened the door and prepared herself to take the huge leap, the Doctor held his arms out. "You'll catch me right?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, trust me please"
Donna screwed her eyes shut and leaped out of the car to be caught by the Doctor.
Suddenly Alex drove off quickly and the robotic scavengers dressed as Santa's stopped following.
"They're after you" the Doctor muttered. "And she knew that didn't she?"
"Alex can see everything, it's a gift of hers" Donna muttered "ever since she was born, and her eyes are rather weird"
The Doctor couldn't help but shake the feeling that he had seen Alex Rose's golden hazel eyes somewhere before.
