Where have you been?

You don't know what you're missing

Haven't you dreamed of being adventurous

Consider this my invitation

The moment they landed, Kit watch in amusement as Mickey ran straight out of the Tardis as fast and as far as he could. Rose shook her head in disappointment and made her way to the doors.

Kit watched from the doorway as Rose called someone on her phone. "Another close call," Kit muttered to herself.

"What was that?" The Doctor asked, making Kit jump.

He came beside her. "Nothing, just—close call, that's all," she rambled out.

"Oh that? I've had worse."

Kit smiled. "Sounds like fun."

The Doctor smiled back with amusement in his eyes. "Oh, it is! At least, as long as you like constant close calls and dangerous situations."

Kit shrugged. "I wouldn't be apposed to it," she commented walking out of the Tardis.

Kit loved the close calls. She loved every dangerous situation that seem like they had no hope of getting out of. She loved it all as long as the Doctor was there by her side to enjoy it with her.

"A fat lot of good you were," Kit turned to see Rose walking over to her boyfriend who was trying to hide behind a pallet.

Mickey sat there wide eyed at the Doctor. His face was stained with fear. He pointed at the Doctor making weird squeaking noises.

"Nestene Consciousness?" The Doctor snapped his fingers. "Easy."

"You were useless in there. You'd be dead if it wasn't for me and Kittredge," Rose dictated.

The Doctors smile faded. "Yes, I would," he looked down at his feet then look back up at both of them. "Thank you. Right then, I'll be off, unless, er, I don't know, you two could come with me."

Kit watched him. He looked so sad, so desperate to have someone with him and even though she knew she had to go with this Doctor, she still didn't say anything.

"This box isn't just a London hopper, you know. It goes anywhere in the universe free of charge," he offered with a big grin.

"Don't. He's an alien. He's a thing," Mickey piped in.

Kit rolled her eyes. "Thank you, Rickey, we hadn't noticed yet."

"It's Mickey," he argued.

"Yeah, don't care at this point," Kit bit out.

"He's not invited," the Doctor pointed out then looked between Rose and Kit. "What do you think? You could stay here, fill your life with work and food and sleep, or you could go anywhere."

"Is it always this dangerous?" Rose asked.

The Doctor nodded. "Yeah."

Mickey hung on the Rose. "Yeah, I can't. I've er, I've got to go and find my mum and someone's got to look after this stupid lump, so," Rose remarked but Kit could tell that wasn't the answer she wanted to say.

Kit wondered if this was all there was for Rose. Maybe that was why she never saw her in the future. She was slightly glad. Kit was worried that something worse happened to her.

"Okay," he stated looking a bit defeated. "What about you, Kit?"

Kit hesitated. She wanted to say no and find her own Doctor but she knew that there wasn't going to be a Doctor if she didn't come with him. Not to mention this Doctor looked so sad.

She forced a smiled. "Absolutely."

The Doctors face became a bit brighter as Kit walked towards him but she could tell that he was still upset about Rose.

Kit went passed the Doctor and inside the Tardis. She could hear the Doctor saying goodbye to Rose and then he closed the door. He moved to the controls and before she knew it, they were off.

Kit moved closer to the Doctor and noticed his tight face. She suddenly realized how much he wanted Rose to come with him.

"Are you really going to leave Rose behind?" She asked.

The Doctor shook his head. "Nope, I want to try one more time; tell her my ship travels through time," he explained to Kit.

"Okay," she said slowly. "Then why didn't you do that in the first place?"

"Because I need to understand you first," he answered, his eyes narrowing on her.

"W-what?" Kit stammered.

"Like I said back with the Consciousness: I don't understand you," he explained. "I just told you I was going to tell Rose that the Tardis could travel through time and you didn't even bat an eye. You say things like you know me and nothing seems to really surprise you!" He fumed.

"So you asking me to travel with you was a lie then. You didn't want me to come, you just wanted to interrogate me!" Kit snapped, her panic slowly turning into angry.

The Doctors face softened slightly. "No. No, I do want you to travel with me, Kit. I like you. You're smart, brave, slightly violent but I can overlook that. But I just don't get you and I don't like not knowing things," he ranted, his face going hard and cold again. "So who are you, Kit? Who are you?!"

"I'm no one!" Kit snapped.

There was a long pause as they both watched each other. Kit knew she had to think of something to get herself out of this situation but she couldn't totally lie to him or he would know.

"My dad, he was…" she paused trying to choose her words carefully, "a bit of an alien freak. He loved everything to do with space and stars and aliens." Kit explained. "He…" She smiled thinking about her Doctor. "He liked to ramble on and on and on about it to me. He wanted me to be an expert on space just like him. He always seemed to know everything; he knew every star, every planet…" she drifted off but then shook her head. "Anyways, the one thing he knew the most of about was you. He did a lot of research on you, trying to figure out who you were. So, yeah, I know thing about you, and aliens don't surprise me but that's all thanks to my Do-dad," Kit finished knowing that the last past was mostly a lie but still hoped the Doctor bought it.

The Doctor stared at her for a while and then did something that surprised Kit: he smiled.

"Alright," he said happily.

Kit's jaw dropped. "Alright? Just like that?"

"Yep, unless you have something else to say?"

Kit shook her head. "Nope, just glad you believe me."

He smiled brightly at her. "Good. Now, let's go and get Rose."

A/N- Sorry for the short chapter but it is an important one. So Kit was able to lie her way out but how long will this lie hold? The Doctor might believe for now but that doesn't mean he isn't keeping an eye on her. Next chapter, The End of the World. Don't forget to review!
