"jenny come down here!" sigma yelled down the corridor from the console room.
"I'm coming!" she yelled back, jumping up and running in the direction of her mum's voice. 'this cant be good. Sigma never yells for me when I'm in my room.' she thought. "What's up? who's that?" as she arrived in the console room she spotted a man in the jump seat and was instantly wary of him.
"This is captain Jack." Theta smiled, pulling Jenny over. "Jack, this is Jenny. My daughter." she continued to the American.
"Hello Jenny." Jack smiled widely and shook her hand.
"OI, no boyfriends." Theta slapped Jack upside the head. Jenny smiled cheekily at his expression.
"I can see you learned from Jackie." he mumbled.
"I got your food." Toboe walked through the front door of the TARDIS and addressed Sigma. "Who is that?" he spotted Jack and ran over.
"Hi." Jack took Toboe's hand and kissed the back of it.
"Hi." Toboe blushed.
"I gotta go." Jenny turned to leave the room. "I just ate lunch." with that she walked out in the direction of her bedroom.
"Wait, Jenny." Toboe ran and caught up to her. "What's wrong?"
"what does it matter? just go run back to your boyfriend, you obviously like him!" Jenny ran off with tears stinging her eyes and slammed her bedroom door behind her. Falling face first into bed, she let the tears free and sobbed into a pillow. "it's not fair!" she yelled to the thin air. "Stupid Jack." Jenny slid off the bed and grabbed her guitar. She started to play her favorite song that she memorized by hearts. little did she know that Toboe was lurking outside the door listening.
toe looks, at me. I, fake a smile so he wont see. what I want, and I'm needing, everything that we should be.
"What?" Toboe whispered to himself as he listened through the door.
I'll bet he's beautiful, that guy he talks about. and he's got everything that I have to live without. toe talks, to me. I laugh cause it's just so funny. and I cant, even see. anyone when he's with me. he says he;s so in love. he;s finally got it right. I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night. he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star. he;s the song, in the car , I keep singing, dont know why I do.
"Oh- no" Toboe whispered. He thought back to Jenny's pained face as she told him to run back to Jack. "I've made a mistake."
toe walks, by me. cant he tell that I cant breathe? and there he goes, so perfectly. the kind of flawless I wish I could be.
Jenny continued.
he better hold him him tight, give him all his love. look into those beautiful eyes, and know he's lucky cause, he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar. the only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star he's the song, in the car, I keep singing, dont know why I do.
Toboe could hear Jenny crying as she sang the song, as well as the occasional pauses when the sobs overwhelmed her. Jenny had always told him this song described her and the guy she liked to a T. now he understood why. he guessed she thought he would realize sooner and ask her how she really felt. Jenny continued to sing as the instrumental bit came to an end.
so I drive home alone, as I turn out the light, I'll out his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight. he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart.
On the word 'break' Toboe could hear Jenny's voice get bitter then go back to the soft singing of before.
he's the song in the car, i keep singing, dont know why I do. he's the time, taken up, but there's never enough, and he's all that I need to fall into...
'love' Toboe thought even though the word was unspoken.
toe looks, at me. I fake a smile so he wont...see.
Jenny ended the song and there was a moment of silence from both sides of the door. Finally Toboe opened the door to face Jenny.
"Toboe!" Jenny screamed in shock and started to rub the tears from her eyes as the guitar slid off her lap onto the floor.
In two quick strides Toboe was sitting on the bed next to Jenny, holding her close as she cried into his shoulder. "I never knew..." he began.
"That I play guitar?" half an attempt at humor was heard in Jenny's voice even though she knew full well that he had heard the song.
"No, how you felt." he cuddled her closer. "i am so sorry. i should have known."
"Forget it."
Toboe flinched at the raw pain in Jenny's voice. 'what should I do?" Toboe though to himself. Taking a deep breath, he decided what to say. "I want to be with you."
"What?" Jenny was so surprised that she looked up at Toboe so quickly she nearly fell off his lap with hope sparkling in her eyes.
"I want to be with you, forever."
"Forever?" Jenny echoed.
"Yeah. Let's try it and see if it works."
"OK." Jenny smiled.
Toboe stood up and placed Jenny in bed and tucked her in. As he left the room he turned out the light to leave her to rest. "Sweet dreams." he whispered as he closed the door and made his way back to the console room.
