Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
A figure flung their legs out of bed, standing up, resulting in bundle of pillows and duvet falling on the floor."Damn It!" she sighed, picking up the mess and throwing it on to her bed. Then crossing to a pair of black curtains, flinging them open to reveal a bright, burnt orange sky. Twin suns glittering, their rays dancing upon the citadel's many silver buildings."No bloody night, stupid twin suns" She Grumbled "Oh well, New day, yet another birthday."
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mould
The girl looked in the mirror, She had black dead straight, Messy hair that just passed her shoulder with a side fringe that neatly covered her right eye with a neon pink streak on it. She had a beautiful face with perfect features and cute freckles that lingered on her face, large green eyes gazing at her tall, skinny body. Sighing at her appearance. She started getting dressed.She pulled on tight black skinny jeans along with a long white skinny t-shirt covered with a short black waistcoat that stopped where her ribcage did. She checked her reflection before dashing downstairs.
--
She arrived in the kitchen, a short, fair faced woman stood in front of her. Brown hair not reaching her shoulders.
"Happy birthday, Birthday girl" she sang merrily, now attempting to hug the dodging Faith. brbr
"Geez mother, don't start getting all sentimental on me" Faith joked.
"Oh and this is the thanks i get for trying to make today special for you" She huffed in mock sadness.
"I don't want today to be special though. I just want it over." Faith said seriously.
"Faye, you have to stop living in the past." Her mother said.
"Why should i?" Faith asked, "My sister died 13 years ago and it was my fault. It should have been me not Hope." she finished. "Anyway" Faith said suddenly, A bit more cheerfully than before. "Where's dad?"
"He's in the lab, He has a present for you." She said cheerfully. Faith started to walk out of the kitchen, "Oh and Faith" Her mother continued, Faith turning around to face her "Watch out when you open the door, remember what happened last time".Faith rubbed her eyebrows subconsciously, remembering full well the 'singeing incident'. Faith turned and dashed towards the basement.
--
She pulled the heavy metal door open, One hand covering her eyebrows. Why are you covering your eyebrows, You silly cow, she thought madly. She started walking down the steps leading down, She jumped the last 5 steps, landing neatly at the bottom.
"Hey Dad" She shouted. Suddenly she heard a loud crack and she saw a large cloud of black smoke. A slightly bald man staggered out of the smoke, coughing with a confused look spread across his face.
"Damned Plastic" he shouted "and you" he said, pointing to Faith, " I always said you would make me bald, i just didn't think plastic would be involved." he added, then continued "I mean look at that!" He Pointed to the bald patch, which was now turning a horrible yellow colour. "I at least deserve a hug" He pouted
"C'ere baldy" she joked, arms out stretched. He hugged her. "Dad" she asked over his shoulder whist still hugging
"yes" he answered, over her shoulder
"Mum and I, hid all the plastic, so where did you get that batch?" Faith asked pulling away from him.
"Lets not spoil the moment" He smiled and pulled her back into a hug.
"Dad" Faith said sternly.brbr"Okay" he said over her shoulder "It was your hairbrush"
"YOU WHAT!?" she shouted pulling away from him. He pulled a locket from his pocket. Galifreyan symbol drawn neatly on the shiny silver surface.
"Ha-happy Birthday, Love." he mumbled. Faith squealed, instantly forgetting about her hairbrush. "Now this locket is kinda like the fob watches for the chameleon arch, but whatever race you are, you will have a partial awareness of it, you'll think its precious, therefore it's always with you. It will also open if you are close to death." He finished with a smug look on his face.
"Its beautiful, Thank you" She whispered, after putting it on. She opened the locket, It had 6 slots, The front two of which where filled. In the left side was a picture of faith and her parents, Making various faces at the camera. On the right were 10 people, 5 boys and 5 girls including herself, about her age, smiling at the camera. The Alpha.
--
"Ding Dong" Shouted a blonde girl.
"Hey Frankie" Faith smiled, standing in the doorway of the now open front door.
"Happy birthday" Frankie grinned, "Now, C'mon the Alpha are waiting to give you 18 of those Earth birthday beats"
"Shall we?" Grinned Faith, Offering a hand.
"We shall" Frankie giggled, Taking Faith's outstretched hand. The two girls dashed off down the street.
