I do not own Doctor Who and I am making no profit off of this.

"Are you going to give me your money or not? I'm serious. I will shoot you and take it anyway if you don't," the bandit holding a gun on Jenny and the Baker brothers said as his face got even angrier.

Jenny continued to smile at him. She already had a plan to stop him formed in her mind.

"I'm not joking little lady!" the bandit said as he grew irritated at Jenny's lack of fear.

"I'm sure of that. I just don't consider you a serious threat. I could take you down easily," Jenny said with a smug look on her face.

"That's it. I've had enough of you, lady!" the bandit said as he aimed the gun right at Jenny's head.

"That'll be enough of that, young man. I'm a Federal Marshall, and I arrest you for attempted robbery," A man in a Stetson hat holding a cane said with his hands on his coat in irritation.

"Really? Where's your badge and your gun then?" the bandit said skeptically.

"I'm traveling incognito, my boy. A gun and badge would betray my true identity. Rest assured though that I am the law here. Lay down your weapon immediately, or I shall add more charges," the man in the Stetson said with forcefulness.

"I'm not afraid of a man without a gun, sir. You can't arrest me if you're dead," the bandit said as he turned the gun on the man in the Stetson.

In one swift motion, the old man in the Stetson knocked the gun out of the bandit's hand with his cane; and then quickly brought the cane back up and hit him on the head with it. The bandit fell to the ground unconscious instantly.

The Baker brothers looked at the old man in awe. He wasn't as frail and weak as he looked.

"Thank you, sir. I didn't really need the assistance though. I could have handled it myself," Jenny said with a smile.

Then Jenny's face fell as she saw Susan walk up to the old man and say, "Grandfather, you could have been shot doing that! I thought you said that you could stop him without violence!"

"Yes, well unfortunately violence is sometimes necessary but always to be avoided whenever possible. Remember that, Susan!" the old man, who Jenny now realized in shock was her father, said.

Jenny just looked at the Doctor in shock. She thought it was weird enough when he became younger. It was even weirder than that to see him as an old man though.

"The shock of almost dying has finally caught up to you, hasn't it? It's all right, child. Everything's over now. Tell me what are you doing here all alone? Someone should have been with you," the Doctor said.

"Excuse me, but she's not here alone. She's with the two of us," Jon said angrily.

"Yes, my boy, but the two of you weren't doing a very good job of protecting her just now, were you? I had to save her myself and me an old man!" the Doctor said indignantly.

"Listen here, I was ready to protect her myself before you showed up. I had the whole situation under control," Jon said with irritation.

"Yes, I could see just how well you were handling it, young man. This young woman needs a more able person to protect her," the Doctor said in a huff.

The bandit started to wake up while they bickered and he quickly pulled another gun out of his vest and stood up. He was going to shot the Doctor for what he had just pulled. The old man was so busy arguing with Jon that he didn't even notice.

Luckily Jenny did. She knocked the gun out of the bandit's hand with a swift kick, and then proceeded to knock him out with a solid right hook. He hit the ground knocked out cold once again for the second time in less than five minutes.

The Doctor looked at Jenny in shock as he realized that he had underestimated her. He began to smile in appreciation at her.

"I'm so sorry, my dear. It appears I've misjudged your abilities. Maybe I've been a little overprotective. It's just that you remind me of someone who I loved very much. She was someone who I lost recently when I wasn't there to protect her, and it brought up some bad feelings. Forgive me, child!" the Doctor said with a soft look in his eyes.

"It's okay. I understand. I'm sorry for your loss," Jenny said as she could see the sadness in her father's eyes.

She knew that he was talking about her mum. This was when he thought that she had died. She wanted to tell him that she was okay so badly. She knew that she couldn't though.

So she settled for hugging him instead. She quickly hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek lovingly.

The Doctor looked at her in shock as he said, "Do I know you, child? You act as if you know me already. It isn't unknown for a time traveler to meet someone in the wrong order. It's happened to me before actually. I met this woman once with curly blonde hair and a large gun who seemed to be quite familiar with me but refused to tell me who she was. I had never met her before either."

Jenny smiled as she said, "You will, Da - Doctor. It won't happen for a long time yet though."

"You do know me then. I never told you my name," the Doctor said with a triumphant smile.

"I might. I can't tell you any more about it though. That would be spoilers," Jenny said with a small grin.

"That's what that woman said too. You do know her then," the Doctor said.

"Of course she does, Doctor. We all know each other in the future as you've already figured out," a voice came from behind them all.

Jenny knew that voice. She whirled around to see River Song standing there with a big toothy grin on her face.

"What are you doing here?" Jenny asked in surprise.

"I could ask you the same thing, little miss. I assure you that I'm here for a good reason though. Someone wanted to see you again, and I was the quickest way to you," River said.

Sarah suddenly appeared next to River, and she smiled at Jenny with an elated grin.

"Hello, Jen! I promised that I'd visit you again. As you can see, I'm fine now. I can't tell you how though. It's all timey wimey you know," Sarah said with a giggle.

Jenny ran to her sister and hugged her tightly. She cried in joy as she realized that everyone could see her now because they were all staring right at her as she spoke. She was okay!

Jon and Patrick both looked at Sarah with their jaws wide open yet again. This was Jenny's sister?! Were all of the women in Jenny's family so gorgeous? Even her mom and her grandmother were gorgeous. There were definitely perks to traveling around with the young Time Lady.

The Doctor caught the two brothers staring at Sarah and felt an inexplicable urge to strike them with his cane. He already didn't like Jon as it was. The Doctor cleared his throat and let the two brothers know that he was watching them. They saw that he was looking right at them and immediately stopped staring at Sarah, for the most part anyway.

"I think your friends there like me," Sarah whispered to Jenny with a giggle.

"They're very nice. You'll like them. You'll have to excuse the staring. They seem to do that a lot for some reason. I think it's because they're not used to being around aliens," Jenny said.

Sarah looked at Jenny for a minute and laughed.

"What?" Jenny asked.

"You're just as oblivious in the past as you are in the future. You're just like Dad," Sarah said with a grin.

Jenny just looked at her in confusion as she laughed. Her youngest sister could be very strange sometimes. She had no idea what she found so hilarious.

River just shook her head as she overheard this conversation. Jenny had no clue that the two boys were both attracted to her. She was still so innocent.

The family reunion was quickly interrupted by the arrival of a group of men on horseback with guns. The group of men stopped in front of them and all pointed their guns at them at once.

"Hold on boys. One of these people is a friend of mine. Put the guns away. They're okay," one of the men, who seemed to be the leader, said.

The man walked up to Jenny and kissed her right on the mouth. Jenny opened her eyes in surprise. Then he pulled away from her, and Jenny looked at him in complete confusion.

"You don't know me, do you?" the man asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

"No. Obviously you know me though. I don't appreciate being kissed by strangers," Jenny said indignantly.

"Sorry, Jen! I couldn't resist it. You don't like it when I do that in the future either. It doesn't stop me though," the man said with a wide grin.

"Who are you?" Jenny asked in complete exasperation.

"My name's Harkness. Jeremiah Harkness. You may not know me, but I know you know my father, Jack," Jeremiah said with a wide grin.

Jenny just looked at him in complete shock while the Baker brothers stared at him like they both wanted to rip his head off right there. The Doctor suddenly felt like hitting someone else with his cane now.

All that Sarah and River could do was grin. They both knew this man quite well in the future even though they didn't recognize the name.

"Jeremiah Harkness. Is that what he's calling himself now?" River said with a crazy grin.

Next: Who is Jeremiah Harkness? What is his connection to Jenny? More importantly, what is he up to with his gang of armed riders? The biggest question is how soon will it be before he and Jon start a shouting match?
