This chapter is unfinished.


Despite me asking the Doctor to keep in touch, I hadn't heard from any regeneration for three weeks.

It was April, and our choir trip was next week. I was stressed with rehearsals, and the fact that teachers didn't seem to care, and were already focusing on finals didn't help.

The nightmares continued, morphing from the battle at Demons Run, to the Jagrafess, to vampires, to werewolves. Some new dreams would pop up every once in a while, nearly leaving me in tears, even though I couldn't remember them when I woke up.

Currently, I was sitting on my bed, notes, music sheets, and my laptop surrounding me. I heard the doorbell ring, and a moment later, the door opened. I could hear talking, but tried to ignore it, assuming it was another guy trying to sell us new windows or siding despite our 'no soliciting' sign at the entrance to the neighborhood.

"Lily!" I heard my adoptive father yell. "There's a couple here to see you."

"No, no, we're not a couple," I heard, and slammed my history book shut, before struggling with my shoes.

"Coming!" I called. "Give me two seconds!" I yelped as I fell over trying to pull on my boots, and quickly shot up, checking my reflection in the mirror. When I was satisfied, I ran out of my room, and recognized the spikey hair and trench coat of the Doctor. Next to him, was a girl I'd never seen before. She had dark skin, and wore a red leather jacket over a light red top, and light blue skinny jeans.

"I'll be right back, Dad," I promised, and shut the door as I stepped outside. I turned to the Doctor and glared softly. "I told you, keep in touch. Don't be a stranger. And you show up three weeks later with someone else I've never seen before."

The Doctor furrowed his eyebrows, before shrugging. "Well, in my defense, we just saw you a few minutes ago."

"So, you really don't know me?" the new girl asked, and I nodded.

"Never seen you before in my life."

"So, we're fairly early in the relationship still," the Doctor sighed, and began to walk away.

The new girl rolled her eyes, before holding out her hand, which I shook.

"Martha Jones," she grinned. "Wow, that's amazing. Cuz we just saw you, five minutes ago, and now you have no idea who I am."

I laughed, and we made our way to the TARDIS. "It's more annoying than amazing," I shrugged, as we stepped through the door.

"Alright, ladies," the Doctor grinned. "Where to?"

"Well, since I'm banished from the UK," I started, raising my eyebrows.

"How'd you get banned from the UK?" Martha asked, her eyes wide.

The Doctor shrugged sheepishly, before turning back to the controls. "Right, so you're going to hold that over my head then."

"My second trip to the UK, and I get banned," I stated, turning to Martha. "We were with Rose – do you know Rose? I would ask where she is, but last time I mentioned her in front of future him, I thought he was going to throw me into the vortex."

They both fell silent around me, and I sighed. "He's already got you into the rule of not telling me anything?"

Martha grimaced, and I turned to the Doctor. "I can't do anything because of you."

"Well, I have my reasons," the Doctor stated, before violently pulling a lever, and smashing a button. Martha gripped the railing, and I ran over to help drive the TARDIS.

What's up with them? I asked the TARDIS.

It was silent for a few seconds before I got my answer. It would probably be in your best interest to not mention Rose. Things have happened.

I glanced up at the Doctor, and noticed his steely eyes. I sighed, before nodding. It would be nice to get some answers every once in a while, though.

She chuckled, and a switch to my left flipped up by itself. The Doctor blinked at it, before grinning, and I laughed.

We landed smoothly for once, and we smiled before racing each other to the door.


There is one more unfinished chapter, that is set to go later in this stories timeline.
