Chapter Three: A Girl Trapped in Adolescense Pt. 2

"I can't prove it to you..." I start, watching her face fall. I know I've disappointed her, but she's not ready for it yet. Hell, none of my companions are. But, if I start telling her about it now, maybe she'll be ready by the time she's eighteen. "Yet. I can't prove it to you yet. You're not old enough."

"Well, how old do I have to be?" She asks, sitting down and pulling her knees up to her chest.

"I can't bring you onto my ship until you graduate, love," I start. "At least until then. And you may not even be ready for it when that time comes either."

Leslie sighs. "Alright. But, why do I have to wait?"

"There are things you have to get done here on Earth before I can let you see the rest of the galaxy," I rest my elbows on the table and smile at her. "You need to get all those unnecessary teenage things out of the way. You know; boyfriends, high school, Prom, all that ridiculous stuff."

"So you promise," she begins. "The second that I graduate; if I want to come with you, you'll let me?"

I think this over for a moment. "I promise," I reply.

I stay for a few more hours. She doesn't ask many more questions, and instead we watch a movie in her living room. Grease, I think it was called. It was bloody fantastic. Eventually, around 5pm, I know it's time for me to go. I look at her, and she's looking right back at me, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I'm gonna miss you," she whispers.

"Oh, trust me, I'll miss you more," I pull her into a hug, and feel tears threatening to fall from my own eyes. "But I'll be back. You know I will. And be ready, Ms. Leslie Rachel Maddigan, because the second you graduate, we're leaving."

I decide to take a break for awhile once I'm back in the TARDIS. I take off my shoes and my jacket, sit back in my seat, and close my eyes. The thing is, I can picture Leslie here with me. I can imagine that she'll be happy, and I'll be happy, and everything will be perfect. I just have to take a rest. I've been running about for awhile, and my body needs a nap.

And, when I wake up, I'll go to Leslie's graduation.

Author's Note: I know you all wanted me to have him prove it somehow, but he knows that she isn't ready yet. But, graduation chapter is next! And that will be the last chapter of this story. This story was just kinda a lead up to the main story of Leslie's adventures with the Doctor, which will be in both the Doctor and Leslie's POV. So, review please? THANKS!
