Maria sat Luke down on his bed and Luke down he explained what had been happening, unit arriving at bannerman road, the message form the shansheeth and his worries about his mum.

"Poor Sarah Jane sounds like she in denial"

"I'm so scared for her Maria, I'm so afraid that she might be losing it"

"She's just in shock"

"I know, I'm just so worried about her"

Maria put her arm around Luke.

"Listen Luke Sarah Jane's got Clyde Rani and she you and me"

Luke smiled at her.

"I'm so glad you're here, I've missed you so much"

"I've missed you too"

Luke looked into Maria's eyes and he had that feeling again.

"I wish I'd got to meet the doctor" Maria continued.

"He was just brilliant, he saved mum from the trickster"

"Yeah I remember you saying, but you never did tell me the full story"

Luke thought back to the wedding and the moment the doctor appeared.

"Stop this wedding now" the doctor yelled as he ran into the room

But he was too late suddenly a wind blew up in the room knocking the doctor back. Then the trickster appeared and Luke watched helplessly as the trickster walked over to his mum and disappeared with her.

"Sarah no" the doctor shouted a he ran to the spot where Sarah Jane had vanished.

The room continued to shake as all the wedding guests also disappeared leaving only Luke Clyde and Rani with the doctor. Then the whole room turned white and Luke felt himself losing consciousness.

"Luke, Luke smith"

Luke woke to the doctor voice.

"D…Doctor" he said as he came round.

"That's me, good to meet you in the flesh"

"What happened, mum, the trickster"

"Luke listen to me everyone going to be alright, I can find Sarah I can bring her back"

As the doctor spoke Luke was fighting back the tears.

"But I need you to be strong for me just like you were before" the doctor continued.

Luke knew the doctor was right he wasn't going to help his mum if he lost it now.

"I know you can do it," the doctor added with a wink and a smile.

Luke nodded as the doctor sprang up to say hello to Clyde and Rani.

"I hope you're as good as Sarah Jane says you are" Clyde told the doctor.

The doctor was now running around the room putting his ear to the ground.

"Well, you know journalists always exaggerating but yeah, I'm pretty amazing on a good day" he added.

After a lot of running around looking for Sarah Jane and a visit from the trickster,

The tardis finally appeared and the doctor quickly ran inside, but as he tried to pull Clyde Rani and Luke into the tardis the doors slammed shut. Clyde crashed into the doors and Alton energy surged through him sending Clyde across the room as the tardis vanished.

"Clyde" Luke shouted as Rani helped Clyde up.

Luke waited for the tardis to reappear as Clyde and Rani headed down stairs to talk to K9 then Clyde found out what had happened to him when he touched the tardis. Clyde ran to the exit of the hall and flung open the doors.

"Trickster" he yelled.

The trickster appeared in the void of white and Clyde walked towards the trickster saying he wished to serve him, of cause this was a trick. When Clyde was close enough to him he grabbed the tricksters hand.

"Got you," Clyde said triumphantly.

The Alton energy surged out of Clyde's hand zapping the trickster, this gave the doctor the time he needed to talk to sarah Jane, and when Clyde appeared with the trickster sarah Jane knew what she had to do.

"Clyde" she shouted as she ran to him.

The boy was out cold but Sarah Jane now had the strength to let peter go. She explained who the trickster was and that he was no angel.

"Look at this" Sarah Jane told him as she held Clyde.

"This is what he'll do to millions of people," she added.

Peter then realised what the trickster was and now he knew what he had to do. He took off the wedding ring and threw it at the trickster, who disappeared in a blinding flash.

Peter then looked at Sarah Jane and said goodbye as he turned to stardust.

"Mum"

Luke came bursting into the room with the doctor and Rani, as they ran to Sarah Jane and Clyde came round the room once again began to shake. Soon everyone was back at the wedding with all the guests but peter and the doctor were gone.

"Mum" Luke whispered as he walked up to Sarah Jane.

His mum turned to the wedding guest with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry everybody, I'm afraid the wedding is cancelled" she told everyone.

Sarah Jane then left the room and as Luke watched his mum leave tears began to run down his face.

"It must have been so hard for her" Maria said as Luke finished telling her the story.

"It was but it made it worse because it looked like the doctor had just gone"

"But he did come back didn't he"

Luke nodded.

"The tardis appeared in the attic later that day, we even got to look inside"

"What was it like" Maria asked.

"It was just amazing, but the what do you expect from the doctor" Luke said with a smile.

"I feel so sorry for sarah Jane first peter and now the doctor"

Maria turned to Luke.

"It makes you realise how important people are to you," she continued.

"Losing peter was so hard on her, and if the doctor really is dead it will destroy her.

Maria took Luke's hands in hers.

"Why don't we go for a walk, get some air," she added.

"Alright"

Luke and Maria headed outside, it was a lovely night and after their walk they sat on a grass bank looking up at the stars. Luke was pointing out the names of the stars.

"And that one there's alpha century" he explained.

"I've missed you telling me facts Luke"

She looked in to Luke's eyes.

"Not a days gone by when I haven't thought of you" she told him.

Luke held Maria's hands.

"When you left I felt like I'd lost part of myself"

Luke then went on the tell Maria how he had felt the night she left.

"Oh Luke" Maria said as she wiped away a tear rolling down Luke's face.

"It was so hard to leave you, Sarah Jane, and Clyde behind," she continued.

Tears now began to form in Maria's eyes.

"I've missed you guys so much" Maria added almost unable to speak.

Luke hugged his friend and a wave of emotion ran though his head, he'd never felt this way before but it was a good felling. Luke then saw something.

"Maria look"

Maria looked up with Luke and could see something streaking across the sky.

"Is that a shooting star?" she asked.

"Or a alien spaceship" Luke continued

"Just be our luck a night like this and aliens turn up to ruin it"

"Best get the vinegar ready" Luke added.

Luke and Maria bust out laughing.

"Don't forget to duck for cover," Maria continued.

"Yeah I've been coved in alien guts more times than I wish to remember"

"Euwe Luke" Maria added with a grin.

"I know but it's horrible, took days to get it out of my hair" Luke added.

"Hey do you remember the gorgon?" Maria asked.

"How could I forget, now she was scary"

"We've seen so much together, Slitheen," she continued.

"Mrs wormwood and the Bane, General Kudlak" Luke added.

"The Trickster, The Graske, and Kaggh of cause"

"Don't forget the Berserker that took Clyde's dad over, if it wasn't for you and your dad we would have never have found Clyde, and mum wouldn't have found us either"

"I remember, it was great to help you guys I felt part of the gang again"

Luke turned to Maria.

"You'll always be part of the gang Maria"

Maria smiled at Luke.

"Thanks Luke that means a lot"

"So what are these computer lectures that your dads doing about?" Luke asked.

"Oh this guy's companies developed a new computer system or something dads explaining how it works," Maria explained.

"Cool"

Luke eye's lit up her loved new technology.

"Hey I've got a free day tomorrow, I'd love to sit in on one of the lectures" he added.

"That'd be wicked, dad would like to see you again"

The next day Luke was up bright and early and got to the lecture just as Maria and her dad arrived.

"Luke" Maria greeted.

Luke went over to Maria and her dad followed by Sanjay josh and Danny, who had also joined him.

"Good to see you mr Jackson" Luke added.

"Luke how many more times call me Alan" Maria's dad replied

Luke introduced his friends to Alan and they all headed inside.

The lecture hall soon filled with students and Luke and his friends took their seats. Alan and Maria were now at the front of the room trying to bring the room to order.

"They sure are a rowdy lot," Alan said.

"Dad there students" Maria replied with a grin.

Suddenly the room fell silent as a man in a suit, long black coat with blond hair and wearing a pair of dark sunglasses walked into the room. And Luke felt uneasy.

"What is it Luke" Sanjay asked.

"I'm not sure, something about him," Luke said nodding towards the man.

The man joined Alan on the stage, the man then simply nodded at Alan.

"Mr eldritch here is the founder of abyss modem, his company has developed the symbolise computer system" Alan explained as he turned to the students in the crowd.

"This revolutionary system allows you to use the computer simply by speaking to it" Alan continued.

"Wow no way" josh said.

"I bet K9 and mr smith can give it a run for it's money" Sanjay whispered to Luke.

Luke and Sanjay grinned at each other.

"It's still pretty cool" Luke replied.

Alan brought out a computer to the centre of the stage.

"If I could have a volunteer please," Alan asked.

Luke's hand shot up and Alan and Maria smiled at each other.

"Who better to help me than my good friend Luke" Alan said.

Luke almost ran to the stage, but as he walked past mr eldritch he felt uneasy again. There was something strange about this guy.

"So what do you want me to do?" Luke asked as he walked over to the computer.

"The computer is your friend" mr eldritch suddenly said.

He turned to Luke.

"How would you greet a new friend" mr eldritch asked.

Luke turned to the computer.

"Hello my names Luke"

"HELLO, LUKE, I, AM, ABYSS"

Luke begin to smile.

"You can ask the computer whatever you want," Alan told Luke.

"Abyss what's the weather like today?" he asked.

"SUNNY, WITH, A, CHANCE, OF, RAIN"

"Oh that's brilliant" Luke continued.

"YES, I, AM"

This made everyone laugh including Luke.

"As you can see the computer also has got a sense of humour" Alan added.

Luke asked the computer a few more questions including a few really hard maths questions, and the computer answered every one correct. Alan turned to Luke.

"Thank you Luke, round of applause for Luke please" Alan said.

Everyone clapped apart for mr eldritch as Luke returned to his seat.

"That was just wicked" Sanjay told him.

"Yeah it sure is smart" Luke replied.

Alan went on to explain everything the computer could do, and how it was going to change the way everyone used computers, as the lecture came to a close mr eldritch had one last surprise for everyone.

"To launch this computer system mr eldritch has kindly donated the first batch of the computers to oxford university free of charge" Alan explained.

The room begin to murmur with voices.

"Which means that every student will have their own abyss computer by the end of the week" Alan continued.

The room erupted with cheers.

"That's so cool" josh said.

"I can't believe we get one for free," Danny continued.

"Sam's sure gonna be jealous" Sanjay added.

"Yeah almost to good to be true" Luke said as he watched eldritch.

Eldritch turned and looked back at Luke.

"Jackson, That boy"

"Oh that's Luke" Alan replied as Maria helped him pack his stuff up.

"He seems very smart"

"Oh he is more than you could know" Alan explained as he grinned at Maria.

"Do you need me now dad" she asked.

"No I can manage, why don't you spend a bit of time with Luke"

"Thanks dad"

Maria gave her dad a kiss and left to join Luke, as they left the lecture hall they didn't notice that mr eldritch was watching them. Another man came up to him.

"I think we have who we've been looking for" mr eldritch told the man.

"I will get everything ready sir" the man replied.

"Good, nothing in the world can stop me now"

To be continued.
