CHAPTER 2 - JASPER & JENNY
"So you know me?" Jenny laughed whipping her hair around her body where her pony tail landed flatly on her back. "Who told you about me?"
"The Doctor. He only told a few of us."
"So you know him?" Jenny asked.
"Well… Sort of. I don't think he'd remember me now, it's been a few years."
Jasper thought back to the first time he met the Doctor. It was the same year he had first moved to London and the same year he had met Luke and Sarah Jane. Jasper had always been an ordinaryish teenager, he was attractive, or at least, that's what the girls thought.
He had sandy coloured hair and a tan that the ghastly London weather couldn't even get rid of. His smile was perfect and white. His body fit and athletic. He wasn't tall or big but still was very strong. You'd expect him to reel in all of the girls with his looks, but one thing got in the way. His social ineptitude.
He rarely spoke to people he didn't know, and struggled to make friends. Most said his personality never matched his looks, which hurt Jasper. Just because he was good looking everyone expected him to be amazing at everything else.
One other significant thing about the boy was that he was a genius when it came to technology and often scanned the stars and planets with his own telescope he'd built with complicated computer technology. This is how he met Luke. They were both 16 at the time, and it was the year before Sarah Jane's death.
One day, Jasper came across an advert for a 'Science Club' in a newspaper which he readily joined. Girls, boys, men and women all joined from all parts of London but Jasper quickly excelled against all of them. Most were fascinated by his talent and how he could build computers within hours and how his mind could formulate perfect patterns of numbers to crack databases and fry computers, although some were envious of his abilities. They need he would surely end up as a world renowned scientists and he'd leave all of these struggling researchers and wannabe scientists behind.
Jaspers life changed when one day Luke joined the club, showing up to the run down building they had their meetings in one a sunny day in June. Jasper felt an immediate attachment with Luke and his amazing abilities that rivaled with Jaspers. The two became best friends and eventually left the club behind to work on their own.
Jasper helped with all of Luke's projects and within a few months al of the secrets that the Smith family held slowly unraveled to him. All about the Doctor and his adventures, all about K-9 and the Aliens of the universe.
It wasn't until Boxing Day one year, just after the Titanic had almost destroyed London, that Jasper finally met the Doctor. He showed up on the Smiths doorstep one day whilst Jasper and Luke were eating lunch at the kitchen table, discussing the molecular structure of different Aliens.
Jasper found he spent most of his time here since his Mother had taken up drinking after his Father had died in a tragic work accident.
Jasper was the one that answered the door to this unknown man with perfectly styles hair and a brown coat covering his suit below. It was a strange style that somehow matched his trainers perfectly.
"Can I help you?" Jasper asked him.
"Yes, I'm looking for Sarah Jane, I'm the Doctor" That was the day that Jasper met him. He came in, had a coffee and spoke to Sarah about the previous day and was gone within a few hours. But not after telling Sarah about his 'daughter' from that baron planet. Jasper was surprised that the Doctor would share such private information, but the Doctor obviously needed to get it out, the stress obviously releasing from his mind as he recalled the story.
Jasper didn't know, but the Doctor secretly admired Jaspers genius, and was curious as to how he had become so smart. Jasper didn't even know the answer to that question.
"Well, boys, hurry up. The Daleks will soon find out that you're not dead Luke and they'll be after you!" Jenny cut across Jaspers thoughts.
"But what do they want with me?" Luke cried out, the panic spiraling through him. They were meant to be on the run, not dawdling here on the street only meters from his home that the authorities would be at any moment now.
"Actually, it's what they don't want with you. Now come on!" Jenny said darting off down the street searching for a car they could 'borrow'.
