Chapter Three:

"Jenny?" The Doctor asked, stunned. Lily stayed behind him, watching carefully over his shoulder. The girl he was talking to looked only a few years older than Lily herself. She was quite pretty with blond hair and dark brown eyes.

"Do I know you?" Jenny asked, suspiciously. "Where's my dad?"

"It's me Jenny!" The Doctor said. He was choking back tears. The last he had known Jenny was dead! But here she was! Alive as could be! Jenny eyed him carefully before stepping forward. She reached into the backpack she was carrying and pulled out a stethoscope. The Doctor laughed. "Like father, like daughter!" Lily watched carefully as Jenny listened, first to the left side of his chest and then the right.

"It is you!" Jenny exclaimed throwing her arms around The Doctor. He smiled and hugged her back.

"What happened? You were dead!" He said, still holding her.

"Well, I don't really know! I just sorta woke up," she said as she pulled back. "And you? What happened?"

"Regenerated," The Doctor said. Jenny nodded, not really sure what he meant. "Why did you bring us here anyways? And where is here?" The Doctor looked around. He didn't recognize the planet, although it had earth-like qualities.

"New Savannah," Jenny explained as she started to walk off. She looked back for The Doctor to follow. "Are you coming, Dad?" The Doctor turned to Lily.

"We're not on Earth anymore?" She asked him, a dazed look on her face.

"No," he said softly. "We're in the future too. Probably around the year…" Jenny walked up and finished the information.

"Four billion, nine-hundred ninety-nine million, nine-hundred ninety-nine thousand, seven-hundred sixty," She told them. Lily stared at The Doctor.

"Billion?" She asked. "We're in the future? On a different planet?"

"Yes, my TARDIS, it's also a time machine," The Doctor explained. "You alright?" He asked her. Lily nodded and he turned back to Jenny. "Now, what's going on Jenny? New Savannah, that's where the cat people live, right?"

"Yea," Jenny said.

"I hate cat people," The Doctor grumbled under his breath.

"But Dad! Their resources are running out! It's been happening for years and they're reaching the very last bit they have! They won't survive if you don't help!" Jenny pleaded. The Doctor looked from her to Lily and back again.

"I'm sorry Jenny, but I have to get Lily back home. She's not supposed to be with me," he said, a bit sadly. Lily touched his shoulder to get his attention.

"What was your name again?" She asked, slightly embarrassed.

"The Doctor, just call me Doctor," he said with a smile.

"Doctor, you're right, I'm not supposed to be with you. But don't let an entire people group die just to get me home!" She told him. There was no question. There was no request. It was almost a command to save these people she didn't even know. The Doctor smiled. He wished so much that she would change her mind. She'd fit in nicely in the TARDIS.

"Alright, Lily, Jenny," he said as he turned to face the town they were just outside of. "Let's go rescue some cat people!" As the three walked towards the town, Jenny explained in further detail everything that was going on. Over the last twenty years, Catkind had slowly used up all of their planet's resources. Nearly a fourth of the entire population had already died out. The Doctor did the math in his head quickly.

"Wait!" He stopped walking. "Rose and I were in New New York in the year five billion and twenty-three. There were Catkind nurses! That's where we've got to get them all!"

"To New Earth?" Jenny asked.

"We can call in the New Earth Empire and they can help spread the cat people out or maybe even find them a new planet!" The Doctor said quickly. Lily almost laughed at how excited he was getting.

"There's just one problem Dad," Jenny started. "They only have a couple days worth of supplies left. There's no way we can get everyone off the planet before then!"

"Of course we can Jenny! Now, I need to get to the top cat's office or whatever they have here!" The Doctor said as he began to run. Jenny smiled.

"I've missed this bit!" She laughed. Lily looked at her as she started to run after them.

"What bit?" Lily asked,

"The running!" Jenny called back to her.
