Italic writing: Indicates a flashback.

A/n And the whole knife/hand thing, is real, my friend can do it, we were at her house and she was playing with my pocket knife and her brother threw a basketball at the back of her head and the knife got stuck in her hand, and her parents weren't home, so we went to the neighbors house and they had Novocain, cause they were a call home doctor, and the knife scarred around it, and now she can put things in it… Its grossly awesome.

Anyway on with the story!!

When something falls, there is always a reason:

She wore a obviously-to-big-for-her white v-neck and dark blue jeans with big holes in the knee's, her long brown hair was pulled into a clip. Her eyes were a violent shade of brown, threatening and beautiful at the same time. It's amazing what you notice about someone when they get violent.

"Get rid of 'er!"

"Throw her out!"

"Yeah! Throw her out!"

"SHUT UP!" Everyone in the small cabin looked at her, Alex, this teenage girl who had gotten on, alone, no family, no friends, when the Doctor had asked her why that was, she simply said that 'I travel a lot.'

"Don't you have a family?" He asked her honestly wanting a truthful answer.

"I have a brother, I visit only when necessary. I mostly lived with my cousin and her mom. She disappeared a few years ago… Oh you want to see something cool?"

Her sudden change in attitude and the use of twenty-first-century-slang, shocked him, but he honestly wanted to see it so he said yes.

She pulled a pocket knife out of her jacket pocket, opened the biggest knife, and stated "You don't get queasy easy do 'ya?" He shook his head, "Good." She said, and stuck the knife through her hand I mean right through her hand so far that the handle touched her palm and the blade was almost completely visible on the other side. Right through this little slit she had in the back of her hand.

"Oh my…" Jethro, said popping up, from the seat behind her, were he had been listening in on their conversation.

"How do you do that?" The Doctor asked grabbing her hand, and turning it over repeatedly.

"When I was fourteen, my cousin threw a basketball at me, and I fell on the knife I was using to sharpen a stick. And we didn't want to get in trouble so we borrowed some Novocain from the neighbor's, we pulled it out before her mom got home."

Jethro, whistled, "Ouch."

"Where do you go when you travel?"

"Everywhere, really. You?"

"Nowhere just wander. Like a Hermit."

"Really? Haven't seen you at any of the meetings."

"What?"

"Never mind, inside joke."

"Ever been to Rome?"

"Yes, actually, I have. Pompeii, and all that."

"Did you have anything to do with it?"

"Yeah, I did a little. How'd you know?"

"'When something falls, there is always a reason.' And from what I know, the 'reason' is usually you."

"Doctor, what was her name? The girl in the other universe?" Alex asked taking Sky's seat after she had moved.

"Ro…Rose."

"You loved her didn't you?"

"N-no, of course not!… How'd you know? Is it really that obvious?"

"That, and I've know you, same look on your face when you talk about her. All dreamy, and loving." She stood up and walked over too were Jethro sat alone, and she stuck the knife through her hand again. He smiled and touched it, she pulled the knife out and he put it in. He laughed slightly.

"It has no history." Professor Hobbes said pointing to the planet on the screen.

"Wait, wait. If it has no history, maybe it's for a reason? Maybe there's something here, that doesn't want you to know about, hence the no history."

"No, no, that's not true…"

"In your opinion."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"No."

"Yes."

"Ha!"

The Doctor was crouched in the same spot that he was in, he repeated, every word that Sky said.

"It's not him! Can't you idiots see that!?" Alex jump/fell off of the back of the seat she was sitting on and ran too the Doctor. "If it was him would he be CRYING, and just sitting here!? He'd be taking charge and talking a whole lot! While you stupid idiots riot against him and get all of us killed!" She grabbed his shoulders and shook them, "Wake up! Get up! We can't do this without you! Please! Please!"

"Don't touch him, or it'll be you next!" Biff, said grabbing her under the armpits and dragging her away from the still form, Biff had an enormous black bruise on his right cheek. From when Alex punched him earlier when he wouldn't stop interrupting the Doctor.

"You're all so stupid! Don't you understand! It's not hi-UMPHH!"

--

At the moment Alex was tied up, with a sock stuffed into her mouth that was covered with duct tape, and two belts around her hands and feet.

"Geff me ouft a ere! Uo fuffers, ow god damnit!"

"Now, now no need to raise you voice, it will be alright, soon enough…"

Sky said, followed by the Doctor.

"Get 'im out of here! It's him!"

Biff, the professor, and Jethro(rather reluctantly, may I say), all grabbed the Doctor and began to drag him towards the door.

"Monte bene, Allons-y!"

THUNK!

Jethro's face slammed into the ground. Alex's feet were wrapped around his legs.

She wriggled out of her bonds, and pulled the sock out of her mouth. She cracked her neck and shook her head, "You could of at least used a clean sock..." She looked around and saw he commotion and instantly began to help.

She jumped onto Biff, and knocked him into a seat, "Get the 'ell off of 'im!"

In the midst of the action, the Hostess, had grabbed Sky, and ran them to the door. Alex jumped up from where she was, leaning on the seat by the Doctor and ran to the door tripping on Jethro along the way.

"1… 2… 3… 4… 5…"

"No!" Alex was 5 feet to the door.

"6!" The Hostess, and Sky flew out the door, into the deadly sunlight, Alex was dragged towards the door it closed almost as soon as she got to the line, and she slammed into it.

THUD!

"Owwww…" She mumbled rolling onto her back as soon as she hit the floor.

She looked over her chest to see the Doctor staring at her and the door.

"'Ello…" She said to no one in particular.

"I said it was 'er." Val said. The Doctor stared at her.

A black tennis shoe, slapped against the side of her head.

"Just shut the hell up, you lying bitch…" Alex said, glaring at the side of her blonde head.

"Language please…" The Doctor said with a sigh.

--

20 minuets later…

"The hostess, what was her name?" The Doctor asked.

Everybody stared blankly at him.

"I don't know." The professor said.

--

Back at the station…

"Doctor! Wait up!"

"Yes, Alex."

"Your friend. What was her full name?"

"Rose Tyler."

"Was her mom's name Jackie?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Rose is my cousin, the one I lived with till I was seventeen." With these words Alex turned on her heel and walked away, leaving the Doctor with his mouth a gap.
