Hey, Serendipity, I hope you get round to reading it, although, you only need to ask me if you want a quick catch up and get you up to speed. Hope it all goes well. xx
Anyway, to today's episode, from the trailer, you'll know that our friends from the Sarah Jane Adventures and popping up, I thought it would seem right seeing as they're all about the same age. So here they are in this fun packed adventure that takes them to a far away planet in search of Yemi.
Favourite. Follow. Review. Enjoy. Abi xx
July 15th
"So, France again?", Taylor asked, smiling at me,
"They told you", I nodded. I knew Lauren and Cat couldn't keep a secret.
"Yeah, what was going on?", he asked, walking alongside me,
"Oh you know, the Eiffel Tower, weird sentient diamonds, the usual", I shrugged,
"Nice", he remarked, "Have you been thinking about that Koschei whatsit the Doctor spoke about?",
"Have you been thinking about Vikki?", I retorted,
"Just a bit. He wasn't clear, was he? And he didn't say how we knew them",
"It's in our future, Tay, he can't exactly tell us everything", I reasoned, as we walked through the double doors into the staircase.
"Then why mention it at all?", he argued. I looked at him, frowning,
"You ok?", I asked,
"I don't like having my future just planned out for me", he said, "It's not fair".
"I get that", I remarked, "Look I suggest you take every day as it comes and try not to think about the distant future", I told him, walking up another flight of stairs and facing him when at the top. He stopped at the bottom of them as he didn't need to go to the next floor up.
"What about Yemi?", he asked, raising his eyebrows, I frowned at him, "Oh come on, I know you're onto something. What do you think happened to her?".
I looked around and then at him, "I don't know, but I think it's got to do with that Mr Ash guy", I said, a bit more quietly. Before he could respond the staircase was filled with kids rushing to their class. I sighed and headed upstairs.
I got to the second floor and headed for Liam's office. I pushed down the door handle and walked in, stumbling into someone. I was about to apologise when I saw that it was Mr Ash and I thought better for it.
"Megan, what have I said about knocking?", Liam scolded, though he couldn't really get upset with me,
"Sorry...Mr Corlow", I replied, keeping my eyes on Mr Ash,
"Shouldn't be saying sorry to me", he said, giving me a look,
"Oh it's no bother, Mr Corlow, I'm sure she meant no harm",
"Didn't I?", I mumbled,
"Anyway, are you ready for your Physics class today Megan?", he asked, grinning,
"Are you?", I retorted, almost glaring at him,
"I have done a university course in it", he chuckled,
"Did you?", I said, narrowing my eyes,
"I'll see you later Megan", Mr Ash said, smirking, "Bye Mr Corlow", he mumbled, leaving the room.
"What was that about?", Liam questioned, sternly,
"You shouldn't be around him Liam",
"Last time I checked I was the teacher", he snapped, I turned and gave him an exasperated look,
"I mean it, I don't trust him", I said,
"Yeah, I kinda got that. Just don't get into trouble", he warned. I was looking outside Liam's door, watching Mr Ash's retreating body, "Megan? Don't get into trouble, he's new, how much mess has he already caused?",
"You'd be surprised", I muttered, then sighed, "What's happening then?",
"Well, I've got these kids coming in, doing a report about south London colleges", he told me,
"Right, and what have I got to do with it?", I frowned, then after he raised a hopeful eyebrow at me I shook my head, "No, no way, I am not doing",
"You're probably the only kid I trust with them, Meg", he said,
"That's only because you nearly died with me", I protested,
"True, but nevertheless it happened and I need you", he said, "I think you'll like it, they were recommended by an investigating journalist, can't remember the name", he stated, bringing out a file. I sat down, looking at the file,
I sighed, "So how many are there?",
"Three", he answered, "So will you do it?", I frowned, a bit put off by this job, "I'll get you cheeseburger from McDonalds", he sighed and I grinned,
"Well, if I can help at all", I grinned.
3rd Person.
"Is it a college or what?", Clyde questioned, strolling in through the double doors,
"Mum said it was", Luke answered, looking around,
"Don't you find it a bit weird, you coming back from uni and her sending us straight away to south London?", Rani mused,
"I don't mind, so long as I'm back with you two", Luck beamed, draping his arms around the pair of them, they chuckled,
"Aw, I knew you missed us Lukey boy", Clyde remarked, grinning.
1st Person
I stepped out of Physics class, frowning.
"Megan", Taylor called, "How was it?", he asked, nodding to Mr Ash's classroom,
"Normal", I stated, annoyed, "And that's wrong",
"Have you got a free period?", he asked.
"Ermm, yeah, but I've got to do something, for Mr Corlow", I told him,
"What?",
"Just, take some work experience kids around, show them stuff, give them jobs", I replied, walking down the corridor,
"Mind if I join in?", he asked, I gave him a look,
"Why?".
He looked down, "I wanna know what's going on with Yemi", he said, "So..?", I sighed and looked down,
"I don't know, I think...I might have an idea, but I don't want to say anything and get anyone's hopes up", I told him. He nodded and we headed to the end of the corridor. We saw Mr Ash cross the corridor and frowned,
"How did he get there, he was just in our class", he muttered,
"There's a door in between classrooms, you can just cross in between classrooms without going into the corridor", I stated, "But he has a class, what's he doing?", I mumbled.
I hurried to get to him,
"Oi, Megan", Taylor hissed, following me,
"He's up to something, I'm gonna found out what", I replied, watching as he entered the lift. I sighed and watched the numbers on the lift headed down and down and down.
"What?", Taylor frowned,
"Oh my God", I mumbled, watching the lift numbers go to negative numbers.
"We don't have a basement", he mumbled, "Do we?",
"Oh this is such a movie scene", I sighed, then ran down the steps, hurrying to ground floor.
3rd Person.
"Megan!"
They whizzed past a trio of teens, waiting around awkwardly. Megan ran past them to the locked staircase door, Taylor following not far behind,
"Excuse me?", Rani began,
"Sorry, not now", Megan called over her back. Rani huffed and rolled her eyes whilst Clyde was frowning after the girl, whom had managed to get the locked staircase door open.
"Did he say Megan?", Clyde mused,
"Mum knows a Megan, said she travelled with the Doctor", Luke told them and they all frowned at the staircase door. Rani looked around and then went to the receptionist desk,
"Hi, where does that door lead?", she asked,
"Just the staircase to the basement, but you can't go down there it's locked", she informed them, then went back to filling out a form. Rani sighed and looked at her friends,
"It's locked",
"Then how did she get in", Clyde frowned,
"Never mind that, how are we getting in?", Rani said, looking at them. Luke's eyes widened,
"Lift, come on", he said, hurrying to the lift, they followed him, all filling the lift. After glancing at the lift buttons, Clyde sighed,
"But look, they only go to this floor", he huffed,
"Hang on", Luke said, typing in a code. The lift groaned a bit and closed, going down. "Yes", he beamed.
1st Person
I slowly headed down the steps, Taylor just behind. My breathing slowed down and my heart rate increased as we trekked down, deeper and deeper. I stared ahead, my eyes wide and we both descended. I glanced back at Taylor to see his face contorted with anticipation and excitement and smiled knowingly and then looked back to find we hand got to the bottom of the steps.
I stepped on the landing and looked around, shining my torch around.
"Did you just have that on you?", he asked, amused, I shrugged,
"What can I say?",
"I wish I had one-",
"Shh", I said, holding up my finger,
"What?",
"Can you hear that?", I said, frowning, "It's like...jazz..jazz music", I stated, following the music.
"This was under the school the whole time", he mused, looking at the massive room,
"Apparently", I shrugged, looking around,
"Waste of space", he remarked, "They could use it for something".
I stopped at the sight of something spectacular just over his shoulders, he hadn't noticed it yet,
"They are", I mumbled,
"Huh?",
"They are using it for something", I said, softly. He frowned and was about to turn around but I gripped his shoulders, "Now, before you look behind, you should know, well, we've never seen anything like this before and...basically, it might mess with your head a bit",
"What's behind me?", he asked, almost whispering,
"It's hard to explain", I told him,
"Why can I hear...talking?",
"Ummm", I said, biting my lip, "It's easier to just look", I told him, slowly turning him around.
"Woah", he breathed, he went really stiff and his eyes were insanely wide. Because behind him was a portal and we could see a whole other world through, it looked like a bar, an alien bar. With things from all over the cosmos.
"Where the hell is that?", Taylor frowned,
"Not sure", I said, "We need to find Mr Ash-"
"Yemi!", he exclaimed, I frowned and looked back into the portal to see Yemi standing in a cage, distressed.
"Huh?", I frowned in confusion, and before I could think, Taylor was dragging me in, "Woah", I exclaimed, diving into the portal.
I jumped in and after a moment of unawareness and wobbliness I sighed and managed to stand up straight. I gasped and frowned, looking behind to see no portal that led back home. No way back. Shit. Me and Taylor shared a worried glance before scanning the area for Yemi. Taylor went off, searching for her but I was stopped by a thing.
"Drink?", a creature said, I frowned,
"Huh?",
"Drink?", it said, handing me a drink,
"What, free?", I asked,
"Of course", it nodded, I took it, hesitantly.
"Err, thanks", I mumbled, taking it, I looked around, "Where am I?", I asked, quietly,
"Ah, this happens a lot, I think you might be a VIIP, if so you need to..", it continued talking but I stopped listening because over it's shoulder I could see Yemi.
"Thanks", I said, interrupting him, then walked past. I stopped and turned,
"A V.I.I.P?", I questioned,
"Yeah",
"Wow", I mumbled, then turned to the sort of stage of the bar, where Yemi was locked up. I had to weave through the crowds as best I could to get even a little bit near to Yemi. I spotted Taylor near the front and headed for it.
3rd Person
The lift pinged and slid open, leaving the trio speechless and gaping,
"Woah...", Clyde breathed, looking around,
"This is amazing", Rani chuckled,
"Transdimensional interstellar shift between portals", Luke stated, smiling, then noticed them looking at him, "Or amazing", he added. They laughed and walked into the alien bar, looking around,
"There's everything here", Rani exclaimed, looking around, "Hoolavoo's", she pointed out, "Grask, Judoon",
"Who we should avoid, we're still grounded on Earth remember?", Clyde muttered, moving away from the Judoon, Rani gasped,
"Slitheen", she said, staring at the creature,
"It's not a Slitheen, it's a Raxocoricofalapatorian, Slitheen's just one family from that planet, the only family humans have had contact with", a familiar girl said. She folded her arms,
"Big family", Clyde remarked,
"Massive", she agreed, "What the hell are you doing here?", she questioned,
"Us? What about you?", Clyde retorted,
"Listen, this is dangerous, alright, you lot need to get out of here. And no offence but this is way out of your comfort zone",
"We can hold our own", Luke said, making her look at him. And he wasn't too bad looking. She raised her eyebrows,
"Can you?", she challenged,
"Yeah", Rani said, nodding. She looked at them, then back at the rest of the bar,
"Megan", she said, shaking their hands individually,
"Oh, I knew it", Luke beamed, "You are Megan Keegan. I'm Luke Smith".
I nodded, "You're Sarah Jane's son. Wow, I've heard of her loads",
"Heard? She said she actually met you", Clyde frowned,
"Yeah, my timelines a shit storm, never mind though", I smiled, "So, you're Clyde and Maria?",
"No, Rani", Rani corrected, "Rani Chandra",
"Well, that's awkward", Clyde remarked,
"Sorry", I said, smiling at Rani, she smiled back, then shook my head and turned, "Right, come on then",
"Where are we?", Rani asked,
"Dunno", Megan shrugged, "Alien bar but other than that, not a clue",
"It might be a Freth region, by the looks of the species, I'm assuming it's on Coran, it's one of the most diverse planets in the universe". Megan looked at him, smirking,
"Wow, clever and good looking, it's my lucky day", she remarked. Luke looked basically shocked when Clyde slung an arm around his shoulder,
"That, my friend, is called flirting", he explained, amused whilst Rani shook her head, smiling.
3rd Person
I peered my head at where Yemi was placed and frowned,
"Why are we here?", Clyde asked, sipping a drink
"You see that girl in the cage", I said, "She's my friend",
"What do they want with her?", Rani asked, placing her drink down,
"Well, put it this way, it's not to plait her hair and read her a bedtime story", I remarked, sighing and trying to think,
"Coran and other planet like it bid on exotic species, especially humans", Luke told us,
"Oh God", I sighed, "We need to get her out", I said, rubbing my eyes.
"Well, we could make a scene", Rani suggested, looking around. I frowned and looked at our drinks, then took in a breath,
"Luke", I said slowly, "You said especially humans",
"Yeah..so..?",
"How many of us drunk the free drinks?", I asked, looking at each of us, they all looked at their glasses and frowned, I glanced over Luke's shoulder and sighed, "Shit",
"What?", Rani frowned,
"We're surrounded", I mumbled, struggling to keep myself upright. I saw Clyde repeatedly shake his head,
"What have they done to us?", he asked, stumbling a bit,
"Just stay calm", I told them, slowly falling to floor, "Don't...don't...pani...".
I gasped awake and stared around, scrambling to get up in my own personal cage.
"Hey. Hey!", I exclaimed, as creature in front jeered and laughed, "Oh well that's nice", I grumbled, hitting the cage in frustration. I felt a thing on my ankle and frowned at a band,
"What the..?",
"It's a circulation belt", Luke told me, from another cage,
"What?",
"When they shoved us in here, they realised that blood actually flows through our body, I think the cage stops the circulation somehow so the belt speeds it up", he explained, in hushed tones,
"Where are the others?", I asked,
"I don't know", he said, sighing, "What are we being sold as, slaves?",
"I guess so", I replied, looking around, "Although, these creatures don't look that rich",
"Ok, so Number 400, previous name Megan", the announcer said,
"How'd he know that?", I mumbled,
"Have we got a sale?", he asked,
"What? No, hang on", I exclaimed,
"What's wrong?", the creature asked,
"I don't want to be a slave", I told him,
"A slave?", he frowned, as if I was mad. But before he could continue, my cage door swung open. I looked around and stepped out, realising all the cage doors opened. I looked at Luke and we both ran for it, but we seemed to be the only kids running out of everyone caged up. As the announcer tried to sort the situation we saw other kids, sitting in their cages.
"Come on, come on, you're free", I told them, urging them out,
"You don't have to do this, come on!", Luke said.
"Why won't they come?", I frowned,
"Megan!", Luke exclaimed, pointing to some guards,
"Come on", I said, running away from them.
Once we got out of the showroom we bumped into someone,
"Oh, there you are, got out then?", Taylor said, shaking his head,
"Yeah, the cage doors just...", I frowned at him,
"And you said Computer Science was bullshit", he smirked, I smiled and hugged him,
"Thanks", I said, then bent to undo that stupid belt on my ankle, as did Luke.
"Hi, Taylor", Talyor introduced,
"Luke Smith", he replied,
"The Luke Smith?",
"Yeah, the Luke Smith", I told him, standing up straight.
"Wow",
"Listen, why did those kids not want to come?", I asked, frowning,
"And why are there only kids, surely adults would do a better job", Luke mused,
"Look!", Talyor exclaimed, "Didn't we see them earlier?", pointing at Rani and Clyde,
"Hey!", I called, beckoning them over to us.
"Hey", Rani said as they got to us,
"Rani, Clyde, this is Taylor", I introduced rapidly and then after they greeted each other,
"I don't understand, if the doors opened why didn't Yemi run out", Clyde said, shaking his head,
"Not just Yemi, all of them", Rani exclaimed, "We looked like weirdo's running out",
"Guys, look", Luke said, pointing at some dodgy looky guards,
"Come on, before they put that tight band on our ankles, my ankle is so red now", Clyde remarked, as we jogged away.
We arrived in the back store room, I looked around the room for a couple seconds, frowning while the rest of them frowned at me. The room seemed empty to them.
"What are you looking for?", Clyde asked,
"Freth regions, they always like a good hide and seek", I mumbled, brushing my hands against the wall, "They had a war not long ago, they value space way too much", I looked at Taylor, clicking my fingers at him "Paron",
"Oh, yeah", he gasped, then touched the walls too.
"What's Paron?", Luke asked,
"We went to this place called Paron a while back", Taylor begun,
"Same solar system, the Freth", I added,
"And they's had a war. We were in there...umm, what did they call it?", he asked me,
"It was...basically, it was like the Cabinet War Rooms, the ones we had in WW1, it was for planning and scheming",
"They didn't have money or resources for much so they reused rooms over and over again", he explained.
"Bingo!", I exclaimed, finding a button on the wall,
"How?", Rani asked,
"Like this", I smiled and pressed the button. The room flickered like a screen would and then transformed into like a computer filled place. Looked like the records place for the whole company.
"Woah", Rani breathed,
"That is cool", Luke chuckled, looking around, "So, are we looking for a computer or device then?",
"Why yes, sexy, we are", I winked at him,
"Megan!", Taylor exclaimed,
"What, I can't have a bit of fun", I pouted, checking the room over,
"I don't mind", Luke shrugged, smiling a bit. I smiled back at him as I passed. And then kissed his cheek,
"Start searching", I told him, moving away to search.
"Oh, right, yeah", he nodded and we all searched the room for a good five minutes until,
"Hang on", Rani said, lifting a iPad looking thing, "CCTV, I think", she stated,
"Let's see", I said, peering at the screen, "How does it work?", I frowned, but before anyone could answer Luke leaned over and pressed a button making a holographic video pop out.
"Cool", Clyde smiled as we watched a CCTV video of when the cage doors were all unlocked. We watched the clip for a couple seconds, paying attention to the kids who weren't moving.
"Wait", I said, then fumbling with the screen for a couple moments, trying to pause the video. When I managed it I frowned, "What the...",
"What?",
"Look at Yemi", I said, pointing, "Her leg, look at her leg",
"No ankle thing", Taylor said,
"No ankle thing", I mumbled, "That's not Yemi", I stated, moving away,
"Now, hang on, maybe it is and that was just a glitch or something", Rani reasoned,
"Lukey boy?", I called,
"Humans need to have the ankle thing if they're in the cage otherwise we die", he explained,
"And she wouldn't run out when she was set free", Clyde added,
"Where's Yemi then, and who the hell is she?", Rani asked, pointing at the fake Yemi.
"Tay?", I asked,
"Yeah, alright", he sighed,
"What's going on?", Clyde frowned,
"I lost to her on rock, paper, scissors, now I have to do the shitty part", he grumbled,
"Wha-what's the shitty part?", Rani asked,
"Looking for the real Yemi while she confronts the fake one", he said. I grinned,
"Just get better at the game",
"You cheat",
"You can't cheat at rock, paper, scissors, it's a probability game", I argued, then sighed, "Anyway, I'm off to deal with the imposter, who's with me",
"Yeah, alright", Rani nodded,
"And me", Luke piped up. We all looked at him, amused, "What?",
"Lucky me", I remarked, looking him up and down.
"Clyde, what'd you say?", Taylor asked,
"Alright", he shrugged, "I wanna see more of this place".
"Right, good luck you three", Taylor said to us,
"You two".
We walked into the main bar area where they were still bidding,
"What exactly are we doing?", Rani asked,
"I say we check if Yemi is there first before we do anything", Luke suggested,
"I'm with the cutie", I said, patting his shoulder. We crept around the crowd, trying to get a look into the cages to find Yemi when we heard the auction creature shout,
"Agreed!",
I frowned, "Don't they shout sold?", I questioned, when I noticed the back of Yemi walking away from us with a creature by her side.
"Hey!", I called, running out to them, Luke and Rani saw this and also ran. Yemi, or not Yemi slowly turned to face us,
"Megan", she said, feigning fear,
"Who are you?", the creature to her side questioned,
"I'm sorry, but you're not being sold the real deal", Rani stated, glaring at not Yemi,
"Sold?", the creature frowned.
"Who are you?", I questioned, looking at not Yemi, "Why did you pretend to be Yemi?", I demanded,
"It was the only way", she replied, looking down, "It was the only way",
"What are you talking about", the creature said,
"Who are you?", Luke questioned,
"I knew you'd be trouble, why didn't you just let me be", she said, glaring at me.
"Oh...oh you son of a bitch", I snapped, "Mr Ash, you are, aren't you. Mr Ash", I stated,
"I just wanted a home", she said, sadly, then pressed something that transformed Yemi, not into Mr Ash but into an entirely different creature. The only thing I could say it looked like, was a blob. A blue-ish blob.
"A Regoshan? You're a Regoshan", the creature beside Mr Ash said, shocked,
"What's a Regoshan?", Luke frowned,
"They've been at war with our species for millenia, we were exiled from each others land", the creature said, staring at Mr Ash,
"What?", I frowned,
"You can't be here", the creature hissed at Mr Ash,
"You should have checked his background before you brought him then", Rani snapped,
"Bought him?",
"Megan!", Taylor called, running into the main room with Clyde. They approached us, without Yemi I noticed and then stared at Mr Ash,
"Who...?", Clyde mumbled,
"It's Mr Ash",
"He's a...blob", he stated,
"Yep", Rani nodded, "I don't get it, you're a Rego..whatsit but you came here?", she asked. Mr Ash looked down and remained quiet,
"Answer her", I told him, but then he did something weird. I think he was crying. I looked at Taylor and the rest of them, wide-eyed. Then I frowned and looked back at Mr Ash,
"How old are you?", I asked, softly, but when he didn't answer I bent down in front of him,
"Be careful Megan", Taylor warned,
"How old are you Mr Ash?", I asked,
"4", he mumbled. I gasped and stood up, turning to face,
"How can he be 4?", Clyde frowned,
"What'd you mean, how can he be four?", the creature asked, "None of them can be over 7",
"Who?", Rani questioned,
"Ohh", I breathed, "Oh, fucking hell",
"What is it?", Taylor asked, I looked at the creature,
"What's your name",
"Matron Ducho", she answered,
"Matron...were you adopting him?", I asked,
"What?", Clyde exclaimed, she paused and looked at us,
"...Yes", she said, frowning.
"Think about it, the kids never left the cages when they were free, they people there weren't paying with anything. There were mostly couples", I said to them
"So?", Rani frowned,
"They were never slaves, this place, they adopt children, of all kinds of species. That's why they never left the cage. That's why there was never an exchange of money",
"There was a war on", Taylor frowned, "All the parents are dead", he stated, looking at Ash,
"You just wanted a new home", he muttered, he was still sobbing but quietly now. "I'm sorry", he said,
"He's can't stay with me", Matron said, "We're sworn enemies",
"He's 4", I stated, frowned, "He is a child",
"I cannot associate myself with that species", she told me,
"What has he got to do with the war. He never attacked you, he never fought your race", I argued,
"He's a Regoshan", she said,
"Yeah, and who's fault was that?", I snapped, "Because it wasn't his and you can't punish someone for something they didn't do".
There was an air of silence, the tension noticable before Taylor intervened,
"I don't get why you came to our college though", Taylor asked Mr Ash,
"I was evacuated but it went wrong. I arrived here. I needed to get home so I took on a human body. I detected atron energy at your college and worked out a way to create a portal",
"Creat a portal? When I was four I couldn't even speak properly", Clyde mumbled,
"Yemi came to me, she followed me and I had to stop her, I assumed her body and tried to get into the adopting process", he explained,
"Where is she?", I asked,
"She's safe, she back through the portal", he explained. He looked at Matron and sighed, "I must go back to my own world", he said,
"It's a war zone, you can't go back", Matron said, "This is the only safe place for you",
"But you're sworn enemies", Luke said, quirking an eyebrow. Matron looked at Mr Ash, then at me and smiled,
"He's only 4", she conceeded, petting his blobby back.
"You can't stay like that though", Taylor said, "You need to take up a disguise", he said,
"Be Mr Ash", I smiled, "To the outside world you can be brother and sister, or cousins or friends", I told them,
"Give him a nice home Matron. He's travelled far to get one", I said, smiling at Mr Ash.
"I will", she said, and then looked at him, "We'd better get going", she told him,
"I want to say to Megan", he replied, Matron nodded,
"I'll be by the doors", she told him, walking off. Mr Ash wobbled to face me and I crouched in front of him,
"All this fighting alien and defended the Earth, I sometimes forget that not all aliens are bad", I mumbled, smiling sadly,
"Everyone can be bad", he replied, "But you aren't, you saved me, you would have saved me if I had just asked. But I...I used the cowards way, the bad way",
I smiled and petted his blobby exterior, "Good luck out there, Mr Ash",
"My name Cantoonia", he said,
"Can...toe",
"Toonia", he said,
"Toonia", I repeated, "Cantoonia, nice", I nodded, "Umm..how'd we get home?", I frowned.
"Ah", he said, then squeezed his eyes shut and spurted out a rock with a button covered in blue goo, it hit my shoulder and I caught it in my hand,
"Eeww", I mumbled, feeling the sticky goo,
"It will open the portal, when you're through you must close it and destroy the device. The connections to this world will be destroyed too when you do",
"And Yemi", I asked,
"She is fine, she in the school, she'll be there when you get back", he assured. I nodded and stood up, noticing the rest of them were listening to us talk,
"Thank you Cantoonia", I smiled, "Now, go back to your Mr Ash image, don't want you getting hurt", I told him, he nodded,
"I will", he said, "Goodbye and thank you", he said bye to all of them before waddling away to Matron. I turned to them and sighed,
"Home, I think", I stated.
"Woah", Taylor groaned, as we jumped out of the portal, then shook himself..bit like a dog, "That is rough travel". Rani was coughing, hunched over while Clyde was rested on the wall, holding his head.
"I don't feel that bad", Luke shrugged,
"Me neither", I stated, frowning at them, then turned to face the portal and held up the portal device. I took in a breath as I watched the world on the other side. I pressed the button and like a TV screen shutting off, the portal just switched off.
When it disappeared we saw a body draped on the floor, still.
"Yemi", Taylor gasped as we ran to her, Rani, Clyde and Luke watched as we lay by her. I gave her the once over, checking her breathing and pulse,
"She's gonna be ok, she's fine", I sighed, patting Taylor and hugging her limp body in relief, "You're fine, Yemi, you're fine", I mumbled, stroking her hair. I looked at Taylor and we shared a look of exasperation.
"Then Mum adopted me after the Bane rejected me", Luke concluded. We were sat at the lounge, chatting.
"And this happened within the bubble works factory?", I questioned to which he nodded, "That's why they shut down", I nodded, "I thought it was something to do with tax avasion", I remarked, making him chuckled cutely.
I smiled,
"So is this what you do then? Find yourself in sticky situations and wing your way out of it", he asked. I scoffed,
"Well, yeah", I shrugged, "Pretty much". Yemi strolled past us, then frowned and smiled,
"Hey Megan", she said, "Hello", she smiled at Luke,
"Errr, Luke, Yemi, Yemi, Luke", I introduced,
"Hi Luke", she smiled, she raised her eyebrows at me and walked off. I shook my head and smiled,
"See, I'm not the only one who finds you cute", I smirked at Luke,
"Hey", Rani quipped, walked to sit on the couch with Taylor and Luke,
"How was the head?", Luke asked,
"Err..yeah, we cleared it up", Clyde nodded, "Mr Ash has taken an emergency leave apparently", he smiled at us,
"Wonder why?", I replied.
"So,will we see you again?", Rani asked,
"Well, you live in Ealing", Taylor shrugged, "Doubt it", he stated,
"Trust you to kill the mood", I muttered, smiling, "I hope that we do meet but unless you have your own personal TARDIS, I don't see that happening soon", I stated,
"How was that better?", Taylor frowned,
"Anyway", Clyde said, "What are you gonna do with that button?", he asked,
"Uh, probably give it to the Doctor", I said, shrugging.
"Ugh, I can't believe all that happened, we were in an alien bar", Rani smiled, "That's just...weird", she said.
"You can say that again", I smiled,
"That's-", Taylor began,
"Don't say it again", I said, shaking my head. We all had a little chuckle just as Liam walked past.
"Ah Megan, a word", he said, looking at me. I sighed and jumped up, walking to the corridor with him.
"You getting along with them?", he asked,
"Yep", I smiled, "Especially Luke", I mumbled,
"What?",
"What?", I shot back, frowning,
"Anyway, Mr Ash has taken an emergency leave according to the head, you wouldn't have anything to do with that?", he asked,
"Nope", I said, smiling,
"Megan", he warned,
"Listen, all you need to know is he's safe and happy and he's found a new sister/cousin.../friend", I said,
"Do I want to know?", he asked,
"No...", I stated, then gave him a grin and walked off.
"You know we said we'd not see each other again", Luke began as I walked him to the college entrance,
"I hope we do but..", I trailed off, "I like you Lukey boy", I smiled,
"I like you too", he said.
I leaned up and pressed my lips on his, snaking my arms around his neck and pulling him down. I kissed him softly and gently, happy when he placed both hands on my waist tentatively and kissed back.
I pecked his lips a couple more times and leaned back, I cleared my throat,
"Right, well, glad we sorted that out", I said.
"Yeah", he agreed,
"Say bye to Clyde and Rani for me", I told him,
"I will".
I smiled and hugged him, closing my eyes,
"See you around Lukey boy", I said, leaning back and patting his shoulder,
"See you", he said, then kissed my cheek and walked off. I watched him walk off and sighed, turning away. I pulled out the portal device and looked at it.
"Destroy the device".
I pulled out my phone, dialing the Doctor.
"Hey, have you got like a massive alien incinerator?", I asked,
"What!?".
