Doctor Who was always going to be a favourite of Laura's. She loved everything about him. From his manic grins to his deep and thoughtful, yet busy nature. When his TARDIS materialised into her bedroom, and thus proving that he really did exist beyond the boundaries of a TV show, Laura welcomed in a world of aliens and time travel. She and Rose were the Doctor's companions and the trio were the best of friends.

It had been three months since Laura had entered the TARDIS and began her new life. Her and Rose had become very buddy-buddy but she often felt like a third wheel when the Doctor and Rose had one of their "shippy" moments. Not that it bothered her. For 900 years, the Doctor had been a bachelor, so he deserved happiness. Even if it wasn't with her mum. But, other than that, Laura was as happy as could be. She was living her dream, the dream of meeting the Doctor and travelling with him. Sure there had been times when things looked bleak, but the Doctor was always there for her. And Rose. For her and Rose. His sonic screwdriver and psychic paper got them out of sticky situations and it was only when they didn't work that she appreciated the usefulness of the items. Except they didn't work on her mother, Tegan Jovanka.

The Doctor had welcomed Laura with opened arms, as had Rose. And the TARDIS, yes everyone seemed to love her. But it was when the TARDIS malfunctioned causing a scene which the Doctor had hoped only to live through once, not twice. He went to take Laura home to see her mother, Tegan, and received a welcome very similar to the one Rose's mother Jackie had given him. Although once he explained the circumstances to Tegan, she had calmed down and welcomed the Doctor back into her life. Tegan gave them her blessing and again, they were on their merry way.

In the three months that Laura had been with them, she soon came to realise just how much work the TARDIS needed. Laura and the Doctor worked vigorously away on fixing the TARDIS. Of course this didn't take time away for dates with the Doctor. Ever since they had visited "parallel earth"; ever since she had kissed the Doctor; they had embarked on a steamy and passionate relationship. There were times when she felt disrespectful to the memory of the Doctor she had originally fallen in love with, Rose would remind herself that it was the same inside, different outside. When times got rough, he was always there whispering comforting things into her ear, giving her a hug, and as always offering her his hand, which she never refused. Life was good right now. The Doctor treated Laura as his daughter. And Rose was the love of his life. No she didn't' want this to end.

It was hungry. Day and night I would lust for more. The taste of the sweaty flesh. To hear it cry and scream in the night. As it ate away at the life encased inside. It wanted to dry up the juices till there were no more. It wanted out.

"Where are we?" Rose asked the Doctor as usual.

"Garanthia, 9976," Laura would answer. She had grown quite accustomed to flying the TARDIS, something Rose wasn't allowed to do. "Now I s'pose you want the geography and history of the entire planet too," she joked.

"Now Laura, that's not necessary, but thanks for offering anyway," the Doctor answered her as he planted a sweet kiss on Rose's cheek and offered both girls his arms.

"Thankyou Doctor," Rose and Laura replied in unison as they so often did. They looked quite merry as they walked with linked arms around the godforsaken planet unbeknown to the dangers that it contained. For Garanthia was a planet that was filled with meadows and fields with endless flowers. The perfect place for a vacation of crime fighting.

While Laura embraced her inner child and skipped around in the long grasses that lit up the meadow they had selected, the Doctor and Rose sat side by side and acted like the parents Laura had never had. What with not being around her parents. They were like their own little family. What the Doctor and Rose didn't' notice while they were gazing lovingly into each other's eyes was that Laura had vanished. Snatched out of thin air.

The knot that had been twisting its way around the Doctor's stomach had suddenly gotten tighter. For hours Rose and he had been searching around the countryside and so far they'd found no sign of Laura anywhere.

Nighttime was fast approaching and Rose was starting to freak out. 'So this was what it felt like to be the rescuer, not the one who needed saving.' Whatever this feeling was, Rose didn't like it. And it only made her worry about Laura more.

Laura was panicky. Her head hurt; as if someone had knocked her out; and she was in a dank and dark cavern somewhere. A million questions were running through her head, 'where am I? What is this place? Who's taken me here?' the obvious questions came first, then the more detailed and less obvious ones: 'does the Doctor know I'm gone? Has mum ever been in a situation like this and gotten herself out of it? Will the Doctor ignore my disappearance (if he's even noticed) and spend more time with Rose?' She could answer the last question for herself, 'no', in every episode of Doctor Who; he had always come through for his companions, and saved the day. Although this time, things were looking bleak. She studied the cave and saw no sign of any evil monsters or alien, but she didn't see an exit either. Stumbling to her feet groggily Laura proceeded to find her own way out, and hopefully meet the Doctor and Rose halfway.

Finally, after years of waiting, it had found another. For so long it had waited and now there was one in its keep. But, there were two more out there, two more that he hungered for, and although one wasn't of usual origin, he would make a tasty snack for after the other two. It went out, and began its hunt…

"Doctor, I think there's something you need to see," Rose said cautiously as she ushered the Doctor over. A large slimy hole was sitting in the ground. "Think it means anything?"

"Of course it does! Rose Tyler I could kiss you, were we not in a hurry. Whatever got Laura must live down here. But we must proceed with caution," The Doctor exclaimed excitedly before adding a warning notice. As always he gave her his hand, offering wasn't an option anymore, she always wanted it, and he almost smiled. The pair jumped down the hole and although they were holding hands, they were separated as the slid down the slimy and mucky hole. But, it was the only way to discover what had captured Laura.

"Yuck! Do you think that next time we could stumble upon another entrance?" The Doctor joked as he dusted himself off.

"Ha ha. Very funny, you find it next time," Rose said dryly.

"All right miss smarty pants, then where do propose we go?" the Doctor said in a mock serious voice. This couldn't help but produce a laugh from Rose and the Doctor pecked her on the cheek.

"C'mon," said Rose. And they sauntered down the massive underground caverns.

It wasn't until they came to a forked road that trouble sparked. "Look, you go that way, and I'll go up this way?" the Doctor said.

And at a parting kiss, they could no longer see each other and Rose was on her own. She was scared, but not as scared as she'd been when the Daleks had her. But she was still going to be careful, all to often had the Doctor had to save her. Now it was her turn to do the same for Laura.

The knot in his stomach had loosened when Rose had found the hole, only to get tighter as he and Rose parted ways at the fork. God knows what could happen to her. The Doctor couldn't lose her. She meant too much to him. And although Laura was his world, giving him a sense of father hood. But if he was ever to choose between the two, his world could come apart. On one hand, there was the love of his life, the one girl who had truly made him happy. On the other hand, there was Laura, the daughter of a woman he had once cared for very deeply. And if anything happened to her, lets just say, his life would be cut short.

A piercing shriek sliced through the air and awoke the Doctor from his many thoughts and brought only one to his mind. One of his companions had been found and it didn't sound like Laura….
