Lets just say Jenny Langer had never been this anxious before. Not even when Clyde and Carla came to the care home to see about adoptions. Actually maybe a titch bit less, but who's keeping track of her feelings. Clyde was looking for seats for them to sit together but she was just daydreaming. She had been at the Langer's for four year now. And Clyde had become not only her best friend but the best big brother ever.
"Not this one." they heard one of the girls say to one of the boys. They were obviously new as well.
"Budge up." Clyde said noticing two seats to their left. They moved along and as they all sat down Clyde decide to strike up a conversation "You new today?"
"Yeah. Maria." the girl said
"Clyde. New too. This is my sister Jenny. We'll probably hang around with you till we meet some cooler people." Jenny gave the pair a small wave
"How do you do? I'm Luke Smith." the boy said reaching over Maria with an outstretched hand, Clyde cautiously to his hand
"Okay, that was a joke. Now I mean it." Clyde was a little freaked out by the boys behaviour, anybody could tell that. But that didn't stop Jenny from hitting him in the arm for being rude.

"Ow! Jenny what was that for?" Jenny just gave him a look. "Okay. Okay. I'm sorry." Clyde said sarcastically to Luke. Only for Jenny to hit him in the back of the head. The four's 'conversation' was stopped by the Headmaster stepping up to the podium.

"Good morning, everybody." he said

"Good morning, Mister Blakeman." the children in the hall replied. Mister Blakeman went to walk round the podium but ended farting instead. The children started laughing, except Maria and Jenny, who found it disgusting, and Luke, who didn't know why it was funny.

"What's funny? The wife gave me cabbage and bean tartlets last night. Yet another reason to despise Jamie Oliver." here he stood back behind the podium. "Right. Assembly, yah di yah. Welcome back everybody. It's a new year. Hope you all do well. Don't run in the courtyard. Don't even think of wearing make-up, and study hard, because I guarantee none of you are going to be pop stars."

"What's his problem?" Clyde asked, Jenny shrugged. She didn't like this.

"So, what else." Mister Blakeman asked, looking at the teachers on his left. "Oh, yeah. What a bright future you've all got, children of the world, etcetera." a teacher who had just arrived gave a small laugh. Jenny raised her eyebrow at that. "Right. As you've seen, we have a new technology block. I'll be taking you over in groups to look at our amazing new facilities, starting with Form 10B." Jenny grabbed he brothers hand. That was his tutor group and she didn't like this man.

Maria and Jenny were sat in maths while Luke and Clyde went on the tour. The two had sat together and Maria was trying to get Jenny to talk.

"So Clyde's your brother?" she asked. Jenny gave a small nod, opening her book up and writing the date, trying not to look at Maria.

"Different dad...?" Maria said, leaving it open. Jenny shook her head and opened her mouth to say something, but she just couldn't seem to form the words. Instead she picked up her pencil and wrote 'adopted' on the first line.

"He's adopted?" she asked and Jenny shook her head. "Your adopted." Jenny nodded.

"How long?" Jenny picked up her pencil and wrote '4 years'

"Really? Wow!" Maria said as the teacher called for attention.

Maria and Jenny were sat opposite each other at the lunch table. Maria had the school's pasta and sauce, while Jenny had a pack lunch. Clyde walked over after getting his school dinner.

"Can I sit here?" he teased as Jenny moved over onto the seat next to hers, leaving Clyde the seat opposite Maria.

"Only if I'm not gonna shame you." Maria back, said smile on her face.

"Well, I either sit here with you or sit there with that." Clyde said pointing to over-weight boy, sitting by himself.

"What, there's someone worse than me?" Maria joked.

"Just." this made Maria and Clyde to laugh.

"So where are you from?" Maria asked, eyes moving from Clyde to Jenny.

"Hounslow. My parents split up, so I moved down here with my Mum and Jenny." Clyde lied easily.

"Like me. Only I moved with my dad." Maria said

"Yeah? How's that?" Clyde asked

"Better than them rowing all the time." Maria shrugged

"Yeah." Clyde nodded

"What's wrong with that? It's mouldy." Clyde said holding his fork up to show a lump of mould growing in his food. "What kind of slop are they serving here? Is it leftovers from last term or something? Sir? Sir?" Clyde flagged down the headmaster.

"What?" he snapped

"How am I meant to eat that?" Clyde asked holding his fork up

"You just pick the bad bits off." the head teacher said walking off.

"Great. That leaves me with a pea." Clyde said lifting up a pea.

"Mine's off, too. That is disgusting." Maria said as she found mould in her pasta.

"What's wrong with this place? It stinks, the food's rotten. Something weird's going on here." Clyde said sharing looks with Maria and Jenny. Jenny sighed and gave Clyde the uneaten half of her sandwich then took a packet of crisps out of her bag and gave them to Maria who took them with a small smile.

"I kept making social mistakes today." Luke said as he approached Sarah-Jane in the attic.

"I think I made one too. Driving you to school when it's round the corner, kissing you goodbye? Oh, we're both new hands at this." Sarah-Jane said looking at Luke apologetically.
"I don't know anyone except Maria, Jenny and Clyde. Maria's in different classes to me most of the time. Jenny won't say a single word to anyone. And Clyde thinks I'm uncool."
"Clyde's not the only kid in the school." Sarah-Jane told him.
"What if I make more mistakes?"
"Then you'll never make the same ones again. Listen, anyone is nervous starting a new school, a new job. I've never been a mum before."
"Do I have to go?"
"I could take you out, teach you here. I considered it. But you, Luke Smith, you're going to live a normal life. As normal a life as I can give you."
"What if I get it wrong again? It makes me feel stupid."
"Remember, you saved the world the day you were born. Not many people can say that."
"No-one else can say that. That's the problem. Nobody else is like me. What are you doing?"
"Checking up on the firm who built your new block. Coldfire Construction. They started expanding eighteen months ago, contracts all round the world. Some odd things cropping up. Now they're putting up school buildings all round London. Well, it makes a change for me. Not aliens, is it."

Jenny was sat on the living room floor doing her homework while Clyde sat on the sofa behind her flicking through the T.V. when all of a sudden the power went out surrounding the duo in darkness. Carla came bundling into the room with a bang as she tried to walk into the room through the dinning room table.

"You two okay?" she asked. The two teenagers however knew she was only speaking to Jenny.

"Fine." she replied, moving to sit on the sofa with Clyde, out of trampling way.

"I'll see if I can find some torches or candles." Carla said, heading back to the kitchen, a slight tone of worry in her voice.

"We'll check the garage. Won't we Clyde?" she asked as she stood up and moved to the door, Clyde made no effort to move till she made an impatient noise. The duo headed out to the garage, easily finding the torches that hung to the left of the doorway.

"Hang on a second." Clyde said, grabbing Jenny's arm as she went to leave. "What was with the no talking today? I normally can't get you to shut up at home."

"I don't know." Jenny admitted, leaning on the door-frame, "I tried, believe me, I tried. Maria was asking me questions and I opened my mouth to answer but the words got stuck in my throat. Like, I don't know. There's something about those two that… I don't know. They just seem different…. Best get these into mum before she starts panicking about me again." she said, giving Clyde a look that he could just see in the minimum light.

The duo had just arrived back in the living room when the lights came back on.

"Guess these are useless then." Clyde said chucking the torch he was holding onto the end of the sofa as he threw himself on it as well.

Jenny laughed as Clyde picked up the remote to start flicking channels again.

"I'm off for a bath. "

The next morning, Jenny was in the only lesson she had with the boys and not Maria. Science. She loved science, explaining how everything worked.

"A transformer is an electrical device that changes the voltage of an alternating current supply, the AC supply, such as your, our mains electrical supply. Anybody know who invented the first transformer?" The teacher, Mr Jeffrey asked.
Luke's hand shoots up, while Jenny's went up slowly.
"You." Jeffreys said pointing at Luke.
"Faraday."
"Correct."
"He didn't know what he could use it for though." Jenny muttered but Jeffreys, and half the class, still heard her
"What?" he asked, a funny look on his face.
"Faraday didn't know what he'd invented." Jenny repeated.

Luke nodded at her "I've thought about it, too. You could get rid of the transformers, get a better system"

"Induct power instead." Jenny finished, looking wide eyed at Luke.
"Just pointing out, I'm nothing to do with them." Clyde called out pointing between the two sat on either side of him.
"Quiet! Name." Jeffreys said leaning on the desk in front of Clyde.
"Clyde Langer."
"Troublemaker. Noted."
"Okay." Clyde said, as if agreeing to go to the park of something lighter then getting told off.
"You're cool because you make trouble. Should I make trouble?" Luke asked. Jenny violently shook her head at this.
"I hear talking!"

Clyde rolled his eyes and reached into his lunch bag and pulled a chip out of his sandwich.

"What are you doing?" Jeffreys asked, suddenly becoming skittish.
"My pen's run out, I'm getting a new one." Clyde said, but Jenny saw his left eyebrow twitch, a sure sign he was lying.
"Let me see that." Jeffreys said using a pair of metal tongs to pick the bag out of Clyde's hands, before smelling it.
"Oh! What is it?" he cried.
"Cold chip sandwich. Made this morning. Not chancing my life in that canteen again."

Jenny watched as Jeffreys turned and dumped the bag in a vivarium on the bench to the side.
"Oi, what are you doing? You can't do that!" Clyde cried
"You can wait until lunchtime and use the canteen like everybody else." Jeffreys said in a small voice
"I'll report you for that." Jenny nudged Clyde a look, silently begging Clyde not to do anything stupid at this school.
"Go on, try it." Mr Jeffrey replied, voice suddenly cold… the effect was ruined though by him farting. Making the rest of the class laugh.

When the school bell went Mr Jeffrey called out "Right. For tomorrow, a thousand words on transformers." making the whole class groan "Two thousand!"

Jenny quickly packed her stuff into her bag before leaving the room for English with Maria.

"Wait Jenny!"

She turned around to see Luke jog up to her.

"Are you going to lunchtime science club?" he asked.

She stopped for a moment, her brain working over-time. On-one-hand she loved science. Dedicating her lunch to science seemed a marvellous way of avoiding staring eyes of other pupils or her brothers worried ones, trying to figure out why she had trouble speaking around Maria and Luke. On-the-other hand this meant she would be spending time with Luke. Alone. Without her brother as buffer. Because lets face it, who else was going to turn up to a LUNCH-TIME SCIENCE club. It was like asking the class who planned to jump of Sydney harbour bridge on Sunday. No-one apart from two sad losers who loved science way to much.

She almost said no, till she thought back to her brother staring down at her all lunch.

"Sure. Sounds like great fun." she squeaked out, before turning and running.

"Welcome to Lunchtime Science club." Mr Jeffreys said holding up his arms "I had hoped for a slightly higher turnout, but never mind."

"There's only Jenny and I." Luke said, from right next to Jenny -who wasn't mentally saying 'I told you so'- as another boy entered the room.

"And me. Carl."

"Luke. Pleased to meet you." Luke said, standing up and offering his hand. Jenny found that once again, she had no voice a she turned to Carl. "This is Jenny"

"Carl's the science star of the school, supposedly. Though I imagine he's probably pretty rubbish compared to you two." Here Carl gave Mr Jeffrey a dirty look. "Take a look at this. Now, over the summer I've been having tons of jolly fun working on a new project." he explained as he put to glass plates with circuits drawn on them on ta light board, like hospitals have. "What do you make of this?" he asked as the three students stood around him.

"Er." Carl said.

"It's a model for a giant capacitor system." Luke said, looking from the board to the teacher.

"And purely theoretical, of course. Nobody could possibly build anything like this for real." Jeffreys stressed.

"You designed this?" Luke asked, as Jenny grabbed the edges of his school cuffs.

"Yes. I'm wasted here. Do you like it?"

"It's amazing. Let us see." Luke dragged Jenny closer to the board

"Now, I have a problem. My purely theoretical problem is, anyone?"

"Don't tell me. Oh, yeah." Luke said as Jenny lifted her arm and pointed to the storage area – he had said don't tell me. "With this, you could store huge amounts of electrical energy. But there's a loophole. In the storage, where Jenny's finger is, it wouldn't stabilise."

"That's my problem. Well done. Gold star." he said to the duo before turning to Carl, "No star."

"You went wrong here. You need to add an equation into the computer control." Luke said moving to the white board and picking up a pen… only to have it stole out of his hands by Jenny who starts writing on the whiteboard. Lots of undefined Greek characters and other letters. She pauses and steps back, looking at the almost finished equation, looking at Mr Jeffrey who looked on in dis-believe and... hope? She was tempted to put a mistake in, just encase he was a mad scientist.

However, when she stopped writing, Luke took this as a sign that she didn't know what to do next and stole the pen back and finished the equation perfectly.

"Yeah?" he asked

"I'll take your word for it." Carl breathed out in amazement.

"The power stabilises, all your problems are over."

"Yes, all of my problems are."

Clyde meet Jenny outside of her last lesson.

"What? Bunking? My Clyde?" Jenny teased, linking her arm around Clyde's.

"Jenny your so embarrassing." Clyde complained trying to pull his arm away from her.

"Suck it up." she stared pulling him out of the school, quickly catching up to Luke and Maria.

"What are you doing?" Clyde said, swinging his arm around Maria.

"We're investigating the new block." Luke said, moving over to allow Jenny to walk in line with them.

"I left something in the new block." Maria 'corrected' walking off in the direction of the new block.

"What is it with you and her? I've seen weird people. I know weird people. Jenny is a weird person But you two? You're beyond weird." Clyde complained, ignoring the sting in his side as Jenny pinched him.

"Go find some normal people then." Luke said, making Jenny laugh. She took one look at her brothers face before running to catch up with Luke.

"What we looking for?" she asked. Luke looked at her funny, realising this was the first time she had actually spoke to him.

"I want answers. Where are you from?" Clyde said, running up to the duo, ruining the moment between them.

"London. The layout of this building doesn't make any sense." Luke said turning and walking forward, ignoring Jenny's question.

"But where have you been all your life? You don't know farting's funny,"

"I don't find farting funny." Jenny interrupted.

Clyde rolled his eyes at his sister before continuing "You let your mum kiss you in public. Where was your last school?"

"I've never been to school before." Luke mentioned off handly as they walked down the corridor.

"What, your mum taught you at home?"

"No. And Sarah Jane isn't my mum. There are sixteen classrooms in this building." Luke said, trying to change the conversation. Or just thinking aloud. Jenny couldn't tell. They came to a stop in the middle of the corridor.

"Hold on. So what's Sarah Jane to you?" Jenny asked stepping forward in front of the boys.

"She adopted me."

"Why don't you call her Mum?" Clyde asked, "Jenny calls our mum, mum."

"She doesn't want me to." Luke shrugged, starting to walk on.

"Of course she wants you to." Jenny said rolling her eyes, walking after him.

"But what about your real mum and dad?" Clyde asked a bit later.

"I haven't got a mum or dad."

"Everybody's got a mum and dad. I have a dad, somewhere."

"My parents are around. You just need to look hard enough." Jenny said, fake smile on her face.

"This block measures about one thousand five hundred and thirty nine metres squared, so double that for both floors. The area of each room doesn't add up to that." Luke said, in confusion

"So there's an empty space then?" Jenny asked, sort of following his thoughts.

"Through there." Luke nodded "I think you should go home." he told them. Clyde scoffed before following him, Jenny had no choice but to follow.

"There's another room, a secret room, behind there." Luke said heading to the wall.

"I'll tell you this-" Clyde stared but Luke spoke over him.

"But how do you get inside?"

"Oh, I'm not getting through here. Stop being strange!" Clyde said before turning and walking away, presuming that Jenny would follow rather then stay with a stranger she had trouble speaking to for some weird reason.

"Are you going to leave to?" Luke asked her.

"And miss out on the fun part? No thank you." She said turning to the wall, bending to look at it. Luke looks around, feeling like they were being watched, before turning back to the puzzle at hand.

"It's a door. And every door must have a door handle." Luke said, pacing the floor.

"About here?" Jenny asked hovering her hand just above her waistline. Luke nodded at her so she took a deep breath before pushing her hand against it. Causing part of the wall- the door- to slide open.

"Good job." Jenny whispered, taking Luke's hand as they started to enter the hidden room.

The duo walked through a plastic sheeting doorway. Like you get at a butchers. Looking at all of the technology inside.

"So Luke, Jennifer. How do you like our little science project?" Mr Blakeman said, stepping into view.

"My name's Jenny." She muttered, making Luke give her an incredulous look.

'Really?' he thought 'Now?'

Sooo... how do you like it? I just find Jenny/Luke to be adorable, they're not getting together straight away but will do soon.

At the moment, Jenny is unaware that she is a Time Lord but that will be dealt with in a few chapters time.

Chapters are going up every other day for now (the next chapter going up on Monday then Wednesday etc.). However that is subjective to change.
