"Doctor why are we crashing!" I was shouting over the loud sounds of metal bending, fires burning and the frantic sound of buttons being pressed.

"I can't remember! Ally, this is going to hurt."

"What's going to hurt?"

Instead of answers my core muscles exploded in pain followed by immediate heart burn. My eyes were blinded by a light that I was sure was definitely not there before. I was like that for who knows how long until it faded slightly and I heard an unfamiliar voice saying something about legs. My eyesight came back for a moment and another light, similar to the one before shone and a whirring whooshing sound began. I collapsed sideways on one of the chairs beside me. My hair fell across my face and I was sure I was blonde a minute ago? No time for that. "We're still crashing!" I screamed.

"We're not crashing." The words echoed around until I realised they weren't pointed at me and that there were no crashing sounds. There was no one else in the control room and everything was in pristine condition. There was no evidence of the crash, which I was beginning to think I'd imagined. "Rose where are you?" There were footsteps on the grating I wasn't familiar with. It was Rose I think. She must have thought he was up here.

"Doctor, I think you're going to want to come up here!"

"This had better be important I was about mend the... Who are you?" He didn't recognise me. Of course he didn't recognise me, I shouldn't be an idiot. I could be who knows where in this existence, we might never have even met for all I knew.

"Ally. I'm, I'm Ally."

"You can't be Ally, I just left Ally. Wait, the problem with the sensors earlier. Come here."

"Just to warn you, don't kick anything."

"What, why? What's kicking things got to do with anything?"

He used his sonic screwdriver on me, I knew what it would say. "I'll explain later. Just promise me you won't kick anything?" I relished the confused look he was making. I glanced at the screwdriver and noticed the tiny section that said I had a tiny bit of his DNA in me. It wasn't there when I still lived on Earth.

"Ally... Alicia! But we just left you on Earth and you were, smaller? interrupted Rose

The Doctor ran a hand over his face. "Ally what happened to you?"

I thought I'd do a nice monologue here.

"Hi, my name is Ally, I'm the resident twenty year old, nice to meet you."

I got more than one surprised look at that.

"Since when did you live with me?"

"Since when were you twenty?"

"Okay, this looks like things are going to get really complicated. For now can I just go have a shower?"

Going from what Rose said about they just left me on Earth I was probably twelve. at the moment and not long come back from Omaria. I looked down at my singed clothes.

"I'll come with you." Rose and I went down to the wardrobe.

"It's good to see an old friends face. I honestly do not have a clue whats going on. Oh." I'd turned to the mirror to see I now had Dark brown hair, and it was wavy. Not the old blonde i was used to. Otherwise I looked relatively normal.

Doctor

This was going to be complicated. The girl who had appeared in the control room was definitely Ally. An older, slightly different Ally who had a problem with him kicking things but it was definitely her. Now he just needed to make sure The other Ally never found out.

"Ouch! I told you not to kick anything. He heard climb up to him.

"I didn't kick anything!"

Ally felt him kick the console. But then she felt another kick... no.. it couldn't be. .. if Ally came to the same conclusion!

It wasn't long until he found her in the kitchen holding a knife up to her arm.

"Ouch! I told you not to kick anything!" I shouted at the one person I couldn't see while hopping slightly. A confused Rose went back to the conversation.

"But you travel with him now."

"Only because I'm forced to. We went back home when I was eighteen to get some chips and things got really painful. I was on the missing persons list and..." I stopped before I said to much.

"He still likes chips?"

"More like I wanted chips. I guess? It isn't something we eat regularly."

"Why did you start hopping and tell the Doctor off for kicking something?"

"It's complicated."

"I like complicated."

"I know, they all like complicated. And the running, everyone likes the running." I finally found the t-shirt I wanted and some jeans. I changed in what would eventually be mine and the Doctors room.

"I just told you not to kick anything!" I mumbled idiot under my breath.

"I didn't kick anything." He called, wounded. But if he didn't kick anything and I didn't kick anything and I am absolutely sure that felt like when the Doctor kicks something when someone does something he said exactly not to do... I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. I hoped this would work otherwise I'd be putting myself through this for nothing. I began to etch in my skin.

"What the heck are you doing? Put it down!" The Doctor must have been looking for me.

"No. If it's the only way..." Blood began to run down my arm. I finished the S and began on the T. The Doctor grabbed the knife away from me. "You don't understand. If this works there may be a chance that I can send a message to him!"

"What's going on?" Now Rose had to enter the room.

"She's cutting herself."

"For a very good reason." I growled.

Rose looked horrified.

"The scars won't be there for long, if there are any. Now give me my knife!" There was a reasonable amount of scrapping around in which I lost terribly to the Doctor and Rose.

"What are you trying to get out of this Ally? Freedom from something."

"I'm trying to send the other you a bloody message. Right now all he's got is some blood on his arm and an S! At least I think he has."

"What!" So much confusion. I love that face but I didn't know if I liked it right at that moment.

"Give me the bloody knife!"

"No!" So he was right. She had worked out the contact.
