It's finally here! My last chapter!
Jenny looked around her, amazed. This had to be Earth. Maybe Donna was here. Or Martha. And who knew what kinds of adventures could be found here. She stepped out of the cave she had hidden her crashed shuttle in and breathed in the fresh air. Earth air! She walked through the woods, taking it all in. She laughed when a tree branch caught her jacket, and when a small squirrel chattered at her from a tree branch. But the laughing stopped immediately when she heard branches breaking above her. A large creature fell nearly on top of her, landing in a crouched, attack-ready position. But before it could pounce, a metallic sound rang through the air and the alien keeled over. A man's voice came from the woods beyond the alien. "Come on River! Did you really have to shoot it?"
A strange man in a bowtie and a woman with a shock of blonde hair emerged from the shadows. Jenny watched them, wary. The woman, River, retorted, "I may not be out to kill you anymore, Doctor, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm a psychopath. That's probably not going to change any time soon my love."
Jenny scrunched her eyebrows. "Did you just call him Doctor?" River nodded, smiling in a way that said 'Keep going, you'll get there'.
The man stepped forward slowly as though Jenny were an animal he didn't want to spook. "Jenny. It's okay. This is River. And you know me. My face is different- I've regenerated- but I'm still the same man. Do you know who I am?"
Jenny moved closer to him, searching his face for anything familiar. She finally focused on his eyes and stumbled back in shock. "Dad? Dad, is that you?" He grinned and rushed forward, pulling her into a hug. A tear slipped from her eye as he kissed the top of her head.
"It's me Jenny. I promise it's me."
"I knew I'd find you eventually." Her voice came out almost in a whisper. "I knew it. And I did it all. I saved worlds, rescued civilizations. I was amazing!"
He smiled. "I know you were Jenny." A growl came from the trees. River trained her gun on it and the Doctor grinned, holding his hand out to his daughter. "You know what to do now?"
Jenny's grin was identical to her father's as she took his hand in hers. "Of course I do. It's my favorite part. Now, we run!" And they did.
Okay, so I know it's really short, but I wanted to wrap it all up here. I hope you all enjoyed this story. I am contemplating a sequel (that may or may not include the 10th Doctor…), but I'm not sure yet. Let me know by reviewing! Thanks to all my readers for making it this far!
