"I'm sorry!" Star exclaimed. "It was all I could think of, I needed her safe," she tried to explain herself the second her bedroom door opened. The Protector stood in the doorway silently. "I know I shouldn't have left her unsupervised on the TARDIS, but I couldn't think of what else to do."

"I know."

"You...what?"

Star blinked comically.

"I know," the Protector repeated, closing the door and crossing the room to sit on Star's bed, pulling her daughter down to sit beside her. "I know why you did and I'm not happy about it, no, but I understand. I'm not mad at you. A little annoyed yes, and you're definitely in trouble, don't think you're getting out of that one." She pointed a finger at her warningly. "But I understand. We all make bad decisions Kara and I think that today has been a day for bad decisions."

"You're not mad?" Star checked.

"No," the Protector shook her head. "I just want to know more about what you meant by seeing her die."

Star flushed. "I don't really know," she admitted. "It's like, I could see someone was watching us, that man. And I could see the people, their names, but Suki's was different. Her name was Eva, I could see it. Then I was in front of her and when I had my hands on her face I could see flashes of her, of what was to come. I saw her getting the promotion, going upstairs. I saw her screaming and then I saw her body, one of those zombie things. I saw it working.

"I knew I had to help her, so I made a link between our minds, it's gone now. I warned her, told her about what would happen. I warned her and she listened. I brought her back here and I know that was stupid, but I couldn't think what else to do. Then I got changed, locked her in and went back to you."

Star looked up at the Protector with a weak smile.

The Protector shook her head with a laugh, ruffling her hair. "You, my darling, are just like your father."

"I am?"

"Oh yes," the Protector nodded, standing up. She pulled Star to her feet and swung her up so she was on the Protector's hip. "You are exactly like your father, especially when he was a boy. Me, him and your Uncle would go on adventures, we'd sneak out, then one day just me and your father. We stole a TARDIS."

"You didn't!" Star gasped.

"We did," the Protector laughed. "Went to a planet were the people were being controlled and killed by their ruler. We got split up, the men and women were separated. One man was scheduled for death and your father managed to break him out and proceeded to hide him in the stolen TARDIS. Your father then got caught and was hauled before the leader to be executed." She sighed. "I snuck up behind the leader, I was rather small back then, kicked him in the back of the legs. He fell and-" she burst into laughter. "He fell and his armour all fell off. He was a woman."

She continued laughing, Star giggling. "It was so funny, just to see their faces. I grabbed your father and we had to run back to the TARDIS. I opened the door and what do I see? A man who I don't know comes running out, yelling that it is far too weird in there. I laid into your father as we piloted the TARDIS home. I continued to scream at him about his stupidity when we got there and that was probably what got us caught. I got in more trouble than your near deaf father though. Apparently they'd heard my screaming and decided that was punishment enough." She shrugged.

"I can imagine."

The Protector spun round and they saw Rose leaning on the doorframe. "So, tell us more about some of your adventures."

Star jumped onto her bed, the Protector flopping down beside her. "Come on!" Rose laid down on the other side of the bed, so that Star was squashed in the middle of them.

"Have I ever told you about the time the Doctor and I started a war between the Sontarans and the Rutans?"

A.N: So something's up with Star. Why am I not surprised it was the Doctor and the Protector who began that war?
