Chapter 1: The Change

Jackie woke to her alarm blaring. She sat up, pushed her sheets down, and turned it off, suddenly feeling slightly dizzy. She brushed it off as early-morning sleepiness, and began to get ready for the day. While dressing, she noticed that her pulse was a little fast, and thought that she must be over-stressed or not getting enough sleep.

Jackie then went to Keia's room to wake her up for her big day, her birthday. She was surprised, however, to see her already up, sitting in front of her vanity, and putting on makeup? What? That didn't seem right. Keia never wears makeup, well, hardly ever, and is not one for fussing over her appearance, no matter how many times Jackie tried to make her at least do her hair up in public.

"Had trouble sleeping last night? Excited for the party?" Surprised, Keia turned around and saw Jackie.

"Mum, you're up! And, yeah, I sure am looking forward to my birthday party!"

Jackie sat on the blue bed and said, "I am too. Keia, dear, are you feeling alright, you're putting on makeup. You almost never do that!"

"Oh, it's just a little concealer for hiding how bad my sleep has been lately. Nothing really to worry about."

"Nightmares?", Jackie worriedly asked, shifting her position on Keia's bed.

"Yep, nightmares."

"You never have nightmares. Are you totally sure you're fine?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Can't you just magic them away? 'Cause you need your sleep!"

"Normally I would be able to," Keia set her concealer down on the vanity desk. "But, ever since I began to have these nightmares, I have not been in full control of my magic."

"That's bad!"

"Yes it's troubling, but nothing I cannot fix. However, I will not be able to fix whatever is wrong with my magic before my birthday party. So, please keep an eye out for anything strange, and help me cover for it, if anything strange does happen. All your friends will be there too, you know." Keia stood up and pushed the stool she had been sitting on under the vanity.

"Anyway, Mum, it's time for you to start planning the party, and for me to start solving this mystery." Said Keia, as she left the room.

Jackie went into the main living area, and put up some blue and pink streamers and a pink tablecloth on the table. She, then, set to making a raspberry cake with the words, in blue, 'Happy Birthday' on it. Keia went out to buy some gifts to give to the attendants of her party.

"Huh, must be 2:27 PM." Jackie thought, suddenly. "Where'd that come from? Oh that reminds me, I'd better check the clock." Checking the clock, she saw that her sudden random thought had been correct. Actually, directly on spot. And now that she thought about it, she was still slightly dizzy. "What? Since when am I this good with guessing time? Also, why am I still dizzy? Ugg, I hope I'm not sick with some alien virus or something! That would be horrible!"

Jackie went to the bathroom to fetch a thermometer. She was hoping to measure her body temperature to check for a fever. The temperature she measured in reality was far more disturbing, as 61 degrees fahrenheit is not normal for her. She should be hypothermic by now.

Jackie was even further put off by this, and was considering going to a hospital to check for any problems medically.

She however thought that since this may be an alien disease, she did not want to get everyone at the hospital sick. Jackie, instead, decided to ask Keia about it, as there was the possibility that Keia's magic may have done something to her. Actually, it was more than possible, it was highly likely.

She went back to baking Keia's birthday cake.

When Keia got back from her shopping trip, Jackie helped her wrap the gifts.

She decided to pose the question that had been eating at her all afternoon.

Having sat down on the living room couch, Jackie said, "Keia, I might've been affected by your stray magic. I'm feeling dizzy, and I randomly guessed the time correctly. I don't think these are normal symptoms of a cold."

"What? Let me check! I do not want you hurt, Mum."

Keia's hands lit with a sea green glow, which quickly traveled to Jackie's body. Jackie felt a strange tingly feeling spread across her body as Keia's scanning magic went through her. It felt strange to say the least. Also, she was confused, as in the past she never felt Keia's magic to any large extent.

"Umm, Mum, I do not know how to break this to you but you have two hearts. Your biology is like that of a Time Lady."

"What!" And Jackie promptly passed out.

Writer's Note: I hope you like what I have written so far, and I hope I have not made my OC into a Mary Sue or anything else undesirable. Please cut me some slack, as this is the first time I have written anything longer than one paragraph on my own, and can be a little bad at making my characters seem different to each other. This is a bit of a longstanding issue and I am actively working to fix this. Also, do not expect me publish gigantic chapters like other users on this site, I find stretching out stories and plotlines hard to accomplish.

NOTE: This is the fith story in my Harmonas Universe Doctor Who AU.
