Within a month Jenny found that she enjoyed school. The classes were interesting, the frequent school trips to Torchwood crime scenes were fascinating and the physical training was enough to keep Jenny going. Jenny was shocked to learn that everyone of the age twelve and above learned how to use a gun just in case of an attack. Everyone practiced self-defence and after a gymnastic move Jenny pulled in an obstacle course, gymnastic was also taught.
They were all being trained to be in the field. They were going to be the next generation of Torchwood.
Jenny, Cassi and a human Dianne ("but call me Deannie everyone does") were the best of friends, they did everything together. The pair soon became frequent guests at the Tyler Manor.
"Have you ever kissed a boy?" Cassi asked
"Of course" Deannie said "loads, well not loads but I had hmm…three boyfriends? One was an alien it didn't work out in the end, another was a neighbour but he moved to Australia and the latest one is a dud. What don't tell me you haven't Cassi?"
Cassi blushed "I haven't found the one yet"
Deannie scoffed "what about you Jenny? Have you ever kissed a boy?"
"Once" Jenny said
"Give us the details"
"Me, Dad and Donna were locked in a cell…I distracted a guard"
Deannie and Cassi laughed
"Was he good looking?" Cassi asked
Jenny shrugged "Cline was all right he was roughly two years older…he prepared my funeral for me…helped me out when I stole the shuttle…I kinda miss him…he was the closest thing I had to a friend"
Cassi and Deannie wrapped an arm round her "you got us" Deannie murmured, then she grinned "I am so going to get the pair of you hooked up with someone"
Cassi and Jenny groaned
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand before the next Torchwood Gala which we are all invited to"
Cassi and Jenny groaned

"Class, we have a new student joining us from Messaline, this is Cline, Cline this is your Class"
Jenny looked up quickly knocking her bag of her desk, cline is here? Cline from Messaline… get a grip girl, this is a parallel world, and he won't know you.
"Tell us about yourself Cline"
"well, my planet is filled with machine made humans and Hath, we were at war and I refused to fight, in the end I ran of with the shuttle and made it off to here, I am currently living with a foster mum and her tin dog"
Deannie nudged Jenny "he's kinda cute in a pimply way" she muttered into Jenny's ear.
"here's not the Cline I know" Jenny muttered "Cline fought in the war…he gave up in the end when Dad yelled at everyone and showed them what the actual ultimate weapon was…this one isn't Cline"
Parallel Cline looked at Jenny, his eyes not leaving her face, taking in every detail, he then whispered "Ginny?"
Jenny shook her head "no I'm Jenny" she said, Cline sat at the desk besides hers still staring at her.
"You look like Ginny…she was a companion….she died…in battle with the Hath….reason why I stopped fighting"
"But the Hath killed her; wouldn't you want to kill them?"
"It wasn't the Hath that killed her, it was our leader…she sided with the Hath"
Jenny nodded and turned towards the teacher trying to take in what she was saying but her mind wandered back to when the colonel shot her, he was aiming for her father but she got in the way. All she remembered was pain.
