'So Mia,' I said as I sat down next to her. 'Please tell me. I need to know this.' She was fumbling with her hands nervously. 'Doctor, I'm not ready to tell anyone yet.' She said quietly. 'I know Mia, but you'll have to tell me eventually, and telling someone will help. I promise.' She looked up at me. 'Please, just don't tell anyone...' she mumbled. I laughed slightly. 'Who am I gonna tell?' she smiled weakly. 'Okay...' she took a deep breath. 'Here goes.'

'When my father found out that my mother was pregnant he left her, leaving my mum to take care of me on her own. Apparently the pain of losing him was too much so she decided to pretty much neglect me. She didn't feed me very well so from about age 8 to 13 I had an eating disorder. I was bullied at school because of it, I never let them get to me though, and until I was 12 I just ignored them. By that, I mean that when I was 12 I fought back. I broke one of their arms and got suspended. During my suspension I turned 13. After that, they treated me worse. Eventually I had inflicted too many injuries and got expelled. My mother didn't bother enrolling me anywhere else so I had to do it myself. It took me until I was 14 to find one that would let me in without parental permission, mainly because I faked it. That was when...' she stopped for a moment. 'That was when my mother threw me out. I had a job, it payed well so eventually I moved to England. Then I started going to the school I go to now, the one you went to for a short time too. I had been okay, nobody even noticed me. When I met you I didn't really stop, knowing it was a time machine and I could still attend like normal and... Well, you know the rest.' She looked down as if ashamed by what she had said.

I wrapped my arms around her. 'Mia, I'm so sorry.' I whispered. She didn't object to my hug, instead she burrowed into my chest and sobbed. 'Why didn't you ever tell me?' she looked up at me. 'You never asked...' she whispered. I chuckled quietly. 'That's just so you.' She smiled subtly and sat up, leaving my grip. She wiped her eyes and looked at me. 'What would I do without you doctor?' she asked, although not really implying it as a question. 'I was about to ask you the same thing.' She laughed at this. I stood up and walked over to the console. 'Is there anywhere you'd like to go?' she looked at me seriously. 'Doctor, now is not the time for an adventure. We can't just keep running from the silence. We have to stop them.' I sighed. I knew it would come eventually. I couldn't keep running forever. I looked at her sadly. 'You're right Mia. But how are we going to find them?' she thought for a moment. 'Maybe we should let them find us?' she grinned mysteriously. 'What is that supposed to mean?' 'It means, we go on an adventure and they'll track us down!' she said, standing up. I grinned at her. 'You're exactly right Mia!' I beamed and ran around to the other side of the console. I began pulling lever and flicking switches. The TARDIS started to dematerialise and lurch about. I laughed loudly. There was only one thing left to do. 'GERONIMO!'
