Here is Ace with the 7th Doctor, sorry for the wait I just couldn't decide on my angle here. I kind of went more from the Doc's point of view, and this may be a little rough to get if you don't know Ace's character. Please enjoy, and keep in mind that I am running out of plot ideas.

Ace and the Doctor where in a crowded market, and for once they were neither running nor chasing. Ace was sitting cross legged on the ground, looking up at the Doctor as he juggled a few pieces of exotic fruit.

"Where are we going next?" Ace asked, shielding her eyes from the sun.

"Well, I was thinking we could visit you Mother." As soon as the words left the Doctor's mouth, he saw Ace stiffen.

"I don't think so." She said, carefully controlling her tone.

"No?" Asked the Doctor. "Well then how about your grandparents?"

"No."

"Aunts and Uncles?"

"No."

"A friend?"

"I said NO!" Ace got to her feet and stomped away, heading for the TARDIS. The Doctor was quick to follow, and he let the fruit splat onto the ground as he chased after her.

"Now Ace, if you could please tell me what's bothering you -" As soon as the Doctor stumbled into the TARDIS, Ace ran right past him back outside, now carrying her knapsack.

She quickly walked away from the festival, up a hill, and deeper into the pine forest that was sheltering the TARDIS. As the Doctor struggled to keep up with her long stride, he yelled after her.

"Ace! Where are you going?" He called but she didn't answer, or slow down. "Goodness gracious! Ace I can't help you if you don't calm down! Where are we going?" He finally decided he wouldn't get her attention, sighed, and scrambled after her.

When she finally reached the top of the hill, Ace ripped open her bag, pulled out a few cans of Nitro-9 and chucked them all in secession at a few trees.

She reached for her bag, to grab more, and she felt the Doctor grip her hand.

"Let go." Ace commanded and wretched her hand away.

"I only want to help you." The Doctor said, as she filled her arms with Nitro-9.

"Yea, right!" Ace finally responded bitterly, and threw a can as far as she could.

Boom! "You're just trying to get me home," Boom! "So you can leave me there," Boom! "And be rid of me for good." Boom! She snarled out her words, and never looked away from her target somewhere off in the far distance.

Boom! "Ace you are being ridiculous!" Boom! "I have intention of 'getting rid of you'" Boom! "Nor would I ever want to." Boom! "And for the love of Rassilon," Boom! "Would you please stop throwing that stuff?" Boom! He was shouting over the roar of Ace's explosions, and he was having a hard time figuring out what her problem was this way.

Boom! "No!" Boom! "It makes me feel better." Boom!

"I noticed." Mummered the Doctor, as a particularly close explosion shook the ground.

"But, I'm sure," Boom! "That talking would make you feel," Boom! "Even better." Boom!

"I doubt it" Ace growled, but didn't throw another one.

After a moment of silence the Doctor finally spoke up. "Do you honestly believe that I would leave you, Ace?"

"Well then why else did you want to take me home so bad?" Ace demanded, looking into his eyes fiercely.

"Because I thought you might miss your mother, because I thought you might want the comfort of home, because I thought that maybe you wanted to say good bye to a friend, because maybe you wanted a milkshake from the local dinner? I don't know Ace, but there are a lot of reasons that perhaps, you might want to visit the place that you came from." He finished exasperatedly.

"Well, I don't want to go home." Ace shot back quickly, but the Doctor could tell that the venom was gone from her fight.

"Home wasn't a good place to be, and I don't ever want to go back." As she was saying this, Ace sunk to the ground, and leaned against a tree, hugging herself.

"And I'm not going to make you Ace, if it's what you want; you can stay with me as long as possible." He held his hand out to her, and after a second of thought Ace grabbed it, hauling herself to her feet.

She wrapped him in a big hug, catching him off guard at first, but then he hugged back, patting down her hair.

"Hey, Professor." She said suddenly pulling away. There was a smile on her face. "How much do you wanna bet that I can blow up that big tree?" She pointed, and the Doctor knew she would be alright.

"I'll buy you a whole case of canisters for your Nitro if you get it." The Doctor told her leaning on his umbrella. 'Oh yea,' He thought as Ace steadied he aim. 'We're definitely going to be okay.'

Please leave backround ideas in your reveiws because this is sucking me dry! I've already used not feeling worthy, missing a fellow companion, abusive child hood, nightmares, regeneration, thought the Doctor was dead, and thought the Doctor was ditching her, so I need your help! And I've never seen the 90's movie so the 8/Grace story will probably take a LONG time! please don't lose intrest in that gap, and REVEIW! Thanks.
