Three years later, Graduation Day, Emily's POV

I was looking at myself in the mirror in my room. It's been three years since the Cybermen invasion, and my class was about to graduate today. I was putting on an emerald green dress that Donna had picked up for me while we were shopping together.

Donna and Captain Jack had joined the Doctor's and my travels through the universe. Donna had insisted that she take me shopping, since I was seventeen now, and a senior in high school, and somehow became Valedictorian. Lily was seventeen too, and she planned on being a veterinarian. Alyssa is eighteen now, and she said she was going to be an Archaeologist. As for me, I was going to travel with Dad.

I put my cap on my head and straightened the tassel to the left side, symbolizing that I haven't graduated yet. As I put on my gown, my phone buzzed. I picked it up with my gown open, and read the message, which was from Lily. "Hey Valedictorian! Today's the day! We graduate high school today!" It read.

I texted Lily, "Hi, Lily. Your Valedictorian is a nervous wreck right now, with the speech, not to mention Dad, Uncle Jack and Donna are watching!"

I put down my phone and continued zipping up my gown, when knocking at the door interrupted me. "Hey Emily? Can I come in?" It was Donna. I called back, "Yeah, come in!" The door opened, and Donna walked in. The ginger haired woman was wearing a sparkly black dress and white flats. Donna asked, "You ready for this?"

I replied nervously, "I'm not so sure. The whole school's going to be watching, not to mention you, the Doctor and Captain Jack!"

Donna laughed and said to me, "Emi, men are difficult. Your father is an alien from Mars who is way too skinny for words."

I giggled and added on, "You hug him, and you get a paper cut!" Donna smiled and continued, "Yep! And Captain Jack is just a pigheaded flirt from who knows where!"

A voice interrupted me before I could speak, "I'm from Boeshane Peninsula, thank you very much, Donna." The two of us turned around to see my uncle leaning against the doorframe, smiling cheekily. I jumped off the bed and ran over to hug Jack saying, "Hiya, Uncle Jack!"

Jack hugged back, lifted my cap, and ruffled my hair. He replied, "Hey sport. Donna, don't be talking about men just yet!"

Donna retorted, "Jack, for goodness' sake, the girl's seventeen! She can talk about men if she wants!" Before Jack could reply, Angie called, "Let's go! Graduates have to be there before eleven thirty!" Donna, Jack and I walked out into the living room where Angie and the Doctor stood. Angie had changed into a light blue dress with silver sparkles. The Doctor had taken off his trench coat and was in his brown pinstripe suit with a brown swirly tie with white converses.

I smiled at the Doctor, who grinned proudly back at me. We then walked out the door, and the Doctor fell in beside me. He whispered in my ear, "I am so proud of you, Emily." He then kissed my cheek and hopped in Angie's car.

As we drove along, the Doctor whined, "Why couldn't we take the TARDIS?" Donna shot back from her spot beside me, "You'd find out someway to make your daughter miss her graduation entirely."

The Doctor then slunk back down in his seat, and Angie turned on the radio. We drove until we reached the school. Donna opened the door, and I hopped out. I said to them, "Bye guys. I'll see you in about two hours." I then ran off into the school to join my class.

In the school, Emily's POV

When I walked inside the school, Lily and Alyssa raced over saying, "Hi, Emi!" I chuckled, looking at my best friends. The class looked over and cheered when they saw me. They called over, "Yay! The Valedictorian is here, maybe we can get moving!" I smiled shyly and checked my speech, hopefully it was good.

One of the escort teachers, Mrs. Stafford came in grinning. I can remember that day when she was a Cyberman puppet, it was good to see her back on her feet again. She called to all of us, "Line up, guys! They're expecting us!"

We all lined up, with me at the head since I was the Valedictorian. Lily whispered from behind me, "Don't worry, Emily, you'll be Fantastic." I smiled, remembering the Ninth Doctor's catchphrase as we walked out to the football field.

As we got to the football field, the bleachers were packed with people on foldable chairs, on the bleachers and on the grass in the back. Up front as we passed by on the most comfortable chairs, were the Doctor, Donna, Angie, and Captain Jack.

"What did Dad do?" I thought. The Doctor caught my eye and winked. I rolled my eyes and walked onto the stage with the top percentage of the class, which included Lily who was number four, and Alyssa who was number three. I strained to hear what she was saying, since we were behind the curtains. The Salsutorian, a kid named Sam whispered, "What is the principal saying?"

The number five student, Kiera whispered back, "Something to the effect of Congrats, I suppose." We giggled, and finally I could hear the principal speak, "… May I introduce to you the top percentage of the class!" The curtain rose, and we waved to everyone in the crowd. They cheered loudly, and the Principal introduced us all.

"The Valedictorian, Emily Fudo!" The Doctor and the whole crowd cheered my name, and I swore I heard Jack whistle. "The Salustorian, Sam Freedman! Number three student is Alyssa Marie Connors! Number four student is Lily Selena Pegasus! Number five student is Kiera Walters!"

The principal paused and continued, "Number six student is Christian Atlas! Number seven student is Holly Jennings! Number eight student is Matthew Muto! Number nine student is Grace Hamilton! And the Number ten student is Jonah Hamilton!"

The crowd cheered our names, and the principal said, "And now for the Valedictorian speech!" The principal moved away and I stood at the podium, speech sitting on the podium. I cleared my throat and began, "Fellow Students, Teachers, and Parents. We did it. We made it through four tough years of high school and made many fond memories with each other along the way. We worked together, learned together, played together, cried together, shared in each other's victories, and grieved for our losses."

I looked at my friends and classmates who were grinning at their achievement. I continued, "We all pushed each other towards our common goal; Senior Graduation. Three Years ago, we were freshmen, new to high school and started a new life. And look at us now. We're Seniors now, the elders of the school, and the ones to pave the way for the younger ones. Today's the Day that we say goodbye to high school, and hello to college."

I paused, swallowing. I then picked it up, "We'll all go our separate ways, and go down different roads. I'm sure, that we'll all carry each other's memory in our hearts." I spoke again, "We now have the power to decide our own lives now, and forge our own destinies. Some of us might just change the world, invent something new, or find the cure for AIDS or cancer, or just help the younger generation follow in our footsteps."

I then wrapped up, "Before I finish my speech, there is one question that we all should all ask ourselves. We have all of time and space in front of us, where should we start?" I finished and said, "Allons-y." I walked off of the podium and the crowd went nuts. I grinned, and the gang on stage gave me high fives. Lily whispered, "You did great, Emi!" I smiled back.

Time then went by, and I received my diploma along with everyone else. The Principal then spoke, "Alright, now Sam and Emily will lead you in the tassel moving." The two of us walked over to the podium and said in unison, "Alright guys, now take the tassel and move the tassel to the right." We all moved the tassels to the right, symbolizing our graduation. We then cheered, and threw our hats in the air happily. The Principal then took our place and said, "Once again, I offer my full congrats to the senior class. You did it guys, you should be proud of yourselves."

With that, the graduation was over. We all ran over to congratulate each other. Jack and Donna ran up puffing, "Emily!" They then hugged me, saying, "Congratulations!" I giggled and replied, "Thanks, guys." The Doctor walked up behind them as they moved out of the way and swept me into his arms.

I squeaked, "Dad, easy! Can't breathe with you squishing me!" The Doctor replied, "Sorry about that." He continued, kissing my forehead, "I'm so proud of you, Shadow." I smiled and hugged Dad back saying, "Thanks, Daddy."

The Doctor then let go of me and said, "Time to go traveling!" I glared at him and replied, "No… Grandma decided to have a graduation party, and we have to go to it." The Doctor made a pouty face and said, "Alright…"

In the TARDIS, Emily's POV

Out of all the places Grandma decided to have a party, She chose to have the party in the TARDIS. We had invited the whole senior class, since the TARDIS could certainly fit all of them. My classmates were scattered all over the place, talking with each other, dancing, or exploring the ever-changing corridors of the TARDIS. Some poor unfortunate soul would come back soaking wet, from the pool in the library.

The TARDIS was decorated in blue and gold, our school colors. Banners were hung all over the TARDIS, some saying, "Congrats", some saying," Good luck in college", and my favorite, "Be Fantastic." That was probably the banner that Lily made. I walked over to the console, which now held an assortment of desserts and snacks, including a Banana Cream pie and non-alcoholic banana daiquiris. I smiled and quoted my father, "Always take a Banana to a party." I picked one of the drinks up and gave a long sip when Lily and Alyssa came over.

Lily had something white on her nose, which I assumed was from the pie. I said to Lily, "Hey you've got something on your nose." Lily scrubbed at her nose with her hand and said, "Oh brother. Is it off?" She asked while moving her hand. Alyssa replied, "Yep, it's off."

Lily nodded and said, "Well back to the subject at hand. Emily, we've prepared a surprise for you and the Doctor."

I asked confused, "What surprise? And are Jack and Donna in on this too?" Alyssa and Lily smirked and said in unison, "You'll see." With that, they grabbed my wrists and dragged me over to the dance floor. Out of the corner of my eye, Jack and Donna were dragging the Doctor towards the dance floor.

We were then placed in the center of the floor, my classmates smiling sheepishly on either side. I looked at my classmates and asked, "Wait, you guys were in on this too?" They all nodded, and Jack, Donna, Lily and Alyssa stopped the computer that was playing music.

Jack then spoke into the microphone, "Alright guys, this is for two of my amazing and somewhat mad friends, The Doctor and Emily, my niece."

Donna then squeezed in beside Jack and spoke, "I'm sure all of you at one point thought we weren't real, that we are fictional." She continued, "News flash guys, we are. Anyway, as you all may of heard from the girls, Emily's mother was killed saving the world, and was forever separated from her father; the Doctor."

The Doctor took my hand in his as Lily moved into speak, "That was true, until three years ago. The Doctor fell into our dimension and was reunited with my best friend, Emily. Yes, our Valedictorian is half alien."

Alyssa picked up from where Lily left off, "So, Jack, Donna, Lily and I decided to celebrate their reunion with a song that makes even the most cold hearted person jerk a few tears. Guys, do not get on the floor, this is their moment."

Jack pushed a button, and the TARDIS shone a spotlight down on us. Alyssa and Lily pushed the play button on the computer, and one of my favorite songs, My Little Girl by Tim McGraw came on.

The Doctor then asked, "May I have this dance, Emily?" I nodded and he wrapped his arms around my waist and I did the same, placing my head on his shoulder, and we began to slow dance to the song.

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.

Gonna tell you how much I love you, though you think you already know.

I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.

You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

I glanced at Lily, who was starting to sob along with Alyssa. I turned my attention back to the Doctor as the song went on.

You're beautiful baby from the outside in.

Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.

Go on, take on this whole world.

But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

My classmates got teary eyed as the song went on, some even hiccupped.

When you were in trouble, that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.

Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.

Sometimes when you're asleep I whisper, "I Love You!" in the moonlight at your door.

As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy, Love you more!"

You're beautiful baby from the outside in.

Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.

Go on, take on this whole world.

But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.

But I won't say, "Yes" to him unless I know, he's the half that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.

I know that he'll say that he's in love.

But between you and me, he won't be good enough!

Alyssa, Lily, and the others started harmonizing with the song, even Jack and Donna joined in.

You're beautiful baby from the outside in.

Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.

Go on, take on this whole world.

But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

As the song finished, I was bawling like a baby, the girls were in hysterics, and the boys just looked solemn.

Three years ago, I was alone in the world, no parents. And now, standing here in the Doctor's embrace I know one thing.

I'm one of the luckiest girls alive, and I'm not alone anymore.

Never alone.
