ROSE

My mother has a dead alien in her living room. Lovely. I glance at the door, hoping no one will decide to come waltzing by and look in. That'd be hell in explaining everything.

"So...what do we do with it?" Mum wonders anxiously. "Chop it up and take it out with the rubbish?"

"No, Mum. People would notice the smell and I'm sure the Doctor would have a kiniption if he knew you had simply dumped it in the rubbish."

"Well, what then? We let it stay there and rot?"

"No..." I chew my lip. "I'm not sure. We could just wait for Theta to come back. He'll know what to do."

"Hmmm." Mum frowns. "I guess..."

I try not to sigh. Why does Mum hate Theta so much? He hasn't done anything to her...I mean, aside from bringing me on adventures. And blowing up my workplace (honestly, I think that should give him points.) and...oh. What if he did something to her?

I bite my lower lip.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Mum wonders while seeing if the alien would fit into a garbage bag. Fat chance, that.

"Did...Theta and you...do something while I left you two alone that one time?" I wish I didn't have to ask this. Mum blinks at me.

"We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. He's yours."

Comforting. "But...why do you not like him, Mum? He's kind, and he's gentle. Unless of course your trying to take over the universe, or exploiting a civilization, then he's cruel and hard. But that's good. He's the universe's protector, Mum. He's not going to do anything...unless he already did something that I should know about."

Mum's eyes go wide. "Rose, if you can think that'd he do such a thing!"

"No, Mum!" My hands clench into fists. This is not going right. Mum is understanding this all wrong. I wasn't saying that he did do something vile, I was just...

Jake starts to cry, and I rush over to him, welcoming the distraction. He's not hungry, though...he just stinks like a little warthog. I put him on the couch, snatching up a clean nappy for him. Mum watches me, sighs, and goes off to the kitchen.

"You think we could claim he was a wild animal that somehow got into my flat?" Mum asked from the kitchen. I glance at the alien.
He's big, ugly, but not a bear or ... or... well, anything I can think of that could brake through a door.

"Rose!" Theta's voice crashes into the room, and he soon follows. Right behind him is Jack and some woman with robin egg coloured hair.

"Theta...?" I blink at him. He looks at the bloke on the floor and turns to the woman.

"That him?" He jerked his thumb to the monster.

"Yeah, that's him all right. I'm sorry, if I had known your family was going to be still at the apartment, I would of told you the assassin was hunting them sooner!"

"Assassin?" I exclaim as Mum rushes out of the kitchen, snapping, "They hired someone to kill two little babies?"

The woman blinks. "Theta and Delta Sigma...well, they are important..." She shrugs. "I don't know much except I was sent to intercept the Doctor so that his children wouldn't die...not that I think he needs help, but I'm just an underling, I do as I'm told." She glances at Jack. "Didn't know the Doctor had a team thing going on, though." She grins briefly, but squashes whatever she is going to say.

"Right." Theta turns to me. "Are you all right, love?" He sits down, glances at Delta (I see his eyes flash a little) then settles his gaze on me.

"I'm fine..." I grin. "Mum killed the assassin with her frying pan."

The woman snorts, then is laughing so hard she falls onto her butt. Jack tries to catch her, but he only ends up falling with her. We look over at her, and when she is calm enough to speak she tells us, "That assassin is the highest quality, so to speak. And he gets killed from a frying pan?"

"Highest quality? He just barged in!" Mum points to the door.

"Well..." Kae'ah shrugs.

"Jack, Kae'ah, stay here. Be right back with the Tardis... we can load him up into the Tardis and dump him in the sun..." Theta stands up. I look at the woman. She must be Kae'ah.

"Wait!" Kae'ah glances at the alien. "We have to save London, first. Don't you want to know why they sent the assassin?"

"You said my grandchildren are important." Mum raises her chin up.

"They are, but the Yae'iouy don't know that. They sent the assassin to tie up the Doctor...see, they are going to submerge London."

"What?" Everyone one of us except Theta wonder.

Kae'ah blinks. "They want to use London as a bathtub...see, humans rotting in the water is the latest craze in keeping their skin healthy...it doesn't, of course, and many people on the other side tried telling them if they do it then many humans are going to find out about it..."

Mum breaks the silence that follows. "That is disgusting...I would never even think of doing something like that, and trust me, I am a fan of beauty creams."

"So now you understand?" Kae'ah wonders.

Theta frowns. "Where is their control center?"

Kae'ah smiles grimly. "The Park."

"Ah...should not have left, then..."

"And what if we hadn't stopped the assassin?" I swear, Mum towers over Theta at the moment, causing my husband to squeak something.

I know its sadistic of me, but I wish I could of recorded that.
