A/N: Hello everyone! As always, apologies for any spelling errors or grammatical mistakes. I hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Jack just stood there, watching as his Princess sat huddled up in the corner of a room, crying, wanting to go home. He had beaten on the glass as much as he could, but it just would not break. He had shouted, but she hadn't heard him.

"He's upset. He doesn't like seeing her like that." A voice suddenly called, making him jump a little and look around the room. "But he can hear her, she wants to go home."

"Yeah? And how do I even know this is real?" Jack asked, gazing around at the other mirrors that surrounded him. "I know my Princess, and I know that something is going on here." He didn't know exactly what, but he knew it wasn't right.

"Oh, he doesn't believe it. He think's he knows best. We should show him, show him how much better it would have been if he had never met her." Another voice called. "She ruined his life, he should know the truth."

Jack let out a sigh as he looked around the room, trying to do two things, locate the source of that stupid voice, and find a way out of there. He couldn't find an answer or solution to either of them. Instead he found a different reflection of himself in the mirror, and that drew his attention.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Jack said, shaking some man's hand. There was a huge grin on his face, and a large payment in his pocket. Everything was going rather well for him, his cons were playing out smoothly and he was reaping in the money from it.

He was smiling away as he ordered another drink, looking across the bar and at the group of women that was standing there, giggling and drinking. Once he had his drink in his hand, he made his way over to them, ready to turn on the charm.

"Well, hello, ladies." He said, a flirty smile on his face. "Can I buy you all a drink?"

Jack quickly stepped away from the mirror, forcing himself to look anywhere but where he had seen that image of himself. "Seriously? You really think that is going to work?" He scoffed, still looking for the owner of the voice. "You think I'd want to go back to that life?"

"Wouldn't that life be better for him?" The voice called. "He would still be travelling the universe, making money and meeting people. Isn't that what he wanted?"

A laugh escaped Jack's lips and echoed throughout the room. "Kari is the best thing to ever happen to me. That woman changed my life, she made me a better man. I owe everything to her, and nothing you can say, or show me, will ever make me think otherwise." He was not going to let anyone or anything try to convince him that he should never have met Kari, because he knew that was not true.

"Oh, oh no." The voice called through sadly. "This one, he doesn't believe either."

"Another defective one. This one's broken as well"

"Excuse me? Defective? Broken?"

"Has to go. He has to go too." Jack really didn't like it, he didn't like what he had seen and he certainly didn't like what he was hearing. "Another one that is too blind, can't see the truth. He has to go."

Before Jack could say anything, a dark figure appeared in the mirrored room with him. Whoever it was, they were dressed completely in black, their head mostly covered by a hood. When it raised its head, Jack saw the face of the figure, and his eyes widened. "What?" He didn't really know what else to say.

The figure bared its sharp, pointy teeth in an evil smirk, before laughing madly. A hand reached out towards Jack, and he instantly backed up, only to find he was trapped against the mirror. "Such loyalty, wasted on someone who doesn't want to be here." The hooded figure said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jack shouted, trying to think of a way out of his little predicament. There was something familiar about the figure standing before him, but he just couldn't work it out.

The figure stepped to one side, and Jack looked at the mirror. Once again he could see Kari huddled up on the floor, rocking back and forth, mumbling that she wanted to go home. "She never belonged here, and she realises that now. Can't you hear her? She wants to go home."

Something inside of Jack finally snapped. "She is home! Here home is here, with the Doctor, with her friends and me. Kari knows that, we're her family." He knew his Princess, and although she had doubts sometimes, when something happened, he knew that she would never want to leave the Doctor.

"Oh, how deluded you are, how deluded you all are." The figure said, stepping closer to Jack once more. "I am afraid that there is no more use for you."

Jack had no idea what was going to happen next, but he sure as hell hoped that the Doctor had a plan, or had at least found Kari by now. He had managed to work out that this was all about her, and that someone or something was out to get her. He didn't care what happened to him, as long as the Doctor got her out of there safely.

Except, the Doctor still hadn't managed to get to Kari. He was still leaning against the mirror, looking down at her sadly. Her words kept swirling around in his head, her pleas to go home. He had never known how badly she missed her home, and he didn't yet know where her home really was.

"He should let her go. She wants to go home." That voice was back, and it was louder and more annoying than before. "She doesn't want to be here, she isn't happy here."

The Doctor wanted to ignore the voice so badly, he didn't want to believe what he was hearing, but he was starting to believe what he was seeing. He had seen how happy Kari would be if she wasn't with him, he had seen that she would have everything she ever wanted.

He didn't really know what to do, his mind was in such a mess. He would do anything for her, absolutely anything, and that meant giving her up if that was what she wanted.

"What do you think he will do? Do you think he will let her go?" The voice whispered around the room. "He doesn't want to let her go."

"He saw what she wanted." The other voice called from nowhere. "She wants a family, a real family. She wants a real home, with a real husband and real children. He knows he can never give her that."

The Doctor shook his head as he took a step away from the mirror where he could still see Kari huddled up. "You don't know that." He whispered, trying to keep himself together. "People change, the things that they want change. Kari… Kari's happy."

Laughing rang out all around him. "Does he think she looks happy? She isn't happy, is she? Do people cry like that when they're happy?"

"She's crying because she's sad. He took all of her dreams away from her."

It was too much for the Doctor to take now, and a tear slipped down his cheek. Both of his hearts were breaking, and he didn't know what to do about it. "But Kari, she… she…"

He looked back up at the mirror, back at Kari. She was still sitting there, but her head was no longer resting against her knees. Her eyes were fixed on the mirror, and the Doctor could have sworn that she was looking directly at him.

"I'm sorry, Doctor." He faintly heard her whisper. "I'm sorry I never told you. I should have told you. I never told you and I should have, and I'm sorry." The tears were still rolling down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Doctor."

All the Doctor could do was watch her, to watch as she cried, as she completely fell apart. He wanted to be in there, to tell her that it was fine, that it didn't matter, that he would make everything better again. But he couldn't reach her, no matter how hard he tried.

Instead, he just slid down to the floor, resting his head in his hands, completely missing the arrival of a cloaked figure in the room with Kari. He was shutting off, blocking everything out, so he didn't even hear anything that was happening through the mirror.

"The young woman who doesn't belong here." A male voice called, grasping Kari's attention. "This isn't her world, this isn't her life."

Kari's vision was blurred from the tears that were swimming in her eyes still, but she could make out the dark figure standing before her. "What… what are you talking about?"

The figures face was completely covered, and that was for a good reason. "You have seen what your life should have been, and it can still be like that. All you need to do is say the word, and I can send you home. You can go back to your world, back to your father. You can have the family you so desperately desire. You can have everything you ever wanted." He was speaking so softly, so calmly, but there was something about the voice that Kari recognised.

She quickly wiped her face, and rubbed her eyes several times, trying to clear her vision and get a better look at who was there with her. "It was you… you're the one who planned all this, who showed me all of those things."

"Yes, because you needed to see the truth. He can never give you those things, and you know that. I'm giving you a chance to go back to where you belong, where you can have all of that."

Kari shook her head. "Why? Why would you do that? What do you get out of this?" She was starting to pull herself together a little, she was finally starting to get some sense back in that messed up head of hers.

The figure faltered for a moment. Kari could see whoever it was flinching. "Because everyone deserves to be happy. I can give you that chance. You can go back and change things, you can change your future."

"No, this doesn't make any sense. Why would I want to go back to that life?" Kari asked him, shaking her head. There was something scratching away at the back of her head, something trying to reach out and tell her something, but she just couldn't reach it.

"Because this life doesn't make you happy. I can give you a happy life, the life you dreamed of. What do you say? Do we have an agreement?"

Kari's head shot up, her eyes widening a little. "What… what did you just say?" Suddenly her hearts were pounding in her chest, things were starting to fall into place.

"I can give you the life you have always dreamed of, but I need your agreement." The figure told her.

Now Kari had worked it out, she knew what was going on and she was kicking herself for being so stupid and blind to the whole situation. "No, you do not have my agreement." Kari spat, pushing herself up from the ground. "Oh, how stupid I've been."

She could have sworn she heard a growl from the figure that was standing there before her. "You have a chance, you should take it." Kari could hear the hint of anger in his voice as well.

"Nah, I really shouldn't take it." She replied, a smug grin working its way across her face now. "Because you see, I know who you are now. I know that you exist to bring disorder, to bring chaos. And for that to happen, you need to get rid of me."

The figure lifted its head up, revealing the featureless face, apart from the pointy teeth. "You are smart, Karianne Conner."

Oh, she had worked it out, and she was so glad that she had. "Kari, my name is Kari. And I know exactly what the hell you are trying to do, Trickster!"

"I don't need your agreement. You are stuck here, with no way out. The Doctor will leave you here, and without you he will be lost and broken." The Trickster informed her. "The chaos that will follow will be magnificent. The universe will be mine, full of turmoil and devastation."

Kari let out a laugh. "Really? You really think that is going to happen? Oh, please, get real." She knew she had to outsmart him somehow, she had to think of some way to get out of there. She had to see the Doctor, she had to tell him everything, and she had to stop keeping secrets.

"You have no way out of here. You're friends have already left, they have deserted you." He told her, hoping that he could bring her back down, break her once more.

But she was stronger than that, because she knew what was truly happening now. "Yup, of course they have. Because you tricked them, it's what you do. But you really can't trick me, not anymore."

Once again the Trickster growled. He had expected her to take his offer, to agree to go back home. He had not anticipated that she would realise who he was, and what he was doing, she was ruining everything for him. "The Doctor doesn't want you now. He knows what you have always wanted, and he knows that he can never give it to you."

"I know you're lying." Kari said, filled with so much confidence. "The Doctor isn't like that, you really know nothing about him at all."

"Really? Then take a look." The Trickster said, stepping to one side and showing Kari a mirror.

She watched as her reflection changed and she saw the Doctor, heading inside the TARDIS. He had Amy hanging onto one of his arms, and Jack walking in on his other side. The three of them were smiling, they were all happy and laughing.

They didn't look back, the door clicked shut and the TARDIS disappeared from the spot. The Doctor had left the planet, with Kari still on it. Jack and Amy were with him, all three of them had left, and Kari was still there.

"You see? He knew he couldn't give you what you want, so he has left." The Trickster told her, sounding rather proud of himself.

But Kari had really reached the end of her tether now. She could feel her anger bubbling, not because the Doctor had supposedly left with out her, but because the creature before her thought that she would really fall for it. "Enough, seriously, enough." Kari shouted, making the Trickster jump a little. "I know how you work, Trickster, it's over."

"It's over for you. There is no way for you to escape from here. You will be trapped in here for all eternity." The trickster told her, before laughing manically.

Kari took a deep breath, her anger had reached boiling point, and her eyes had started to burn. "You're just like all the others." She muttered, taking a step away from the mirror she was leaning against and towards the cloaked creature. "You think you are so clever, you think you know everything. But you really don't."

The smirk on the Trickster's face had fallen. "No… you can't… not in here… it's not possible…"

She chuckled a little. "I can't what? Do this?" She asked him, before every single mirror around her shattered into pieces. The shards flew everywhere, Kari getting several cuts in the process, but she didn't care. "Tell me that I'm trapped now."

The Doctor was there, crouched on the ground, his arms covering his head. When he finally dared move his arms, his eyes widened. "Kari…" Just the sight of her made his chest hurt. She looked a complete and utter mess, but he was more worried about how angry she seemed.

"It's over, Trickster. Deal with it." Kari growled at him, having not noticed the Doctor standing there and gawping at her.

"Oh, I should have known." The Doctor called, getting the figure to spin around and look at him. "Even after all this time, you're still up to your old tricks, Trickster. But did you really think it would work? Did you really think you could break Kari?" He asked, stepping over the shards of glass and into the room with them. Everything looked so different now that all the mirrors were gone.

The Trickster knew that it was over, that his plan had failed. He had been so close, so close to getting rid of the one thing that kept the Doctor going, the one thing that held him up and kept him together. He knew that without Kari there the Doctor would be easier to destroy, leaving him to rein with his chaos. "You haven't seen the last of me." He spat at the Doctor, before turning to look at Kari. "You could have had everything."

Kari shook her head at him, and took a step over towards the Doctor. "I already have everything." She told him, taking a tight hold of the Doctor's hand.

In a blinding flash of light, the Trickster disappeared, and everything around them began to shake. "This whole place is going to collapse." The Doctor told her in a panic. "We need to find a way out of here."

He tried to pull Kari with him, back through the way he had just came, but she stood her ground and stopped him from going anywhere, causing him to turn and look at her with a frown. "It's not going to collapse, Doctor, it can't collapse." She told him calmly, holding his hand in a death grip, afraid he was going to disappear.

"But, Kari…"

She simply shook her head at him, getting him to shut up. "Doctor, think about it. It was the Trickster."

That was when it hit him. "Oh, of course! You're brilliant, Kari, just brilliant!" He cried, hugging her tightly.

Neither of them noticed what was going on around them, they didn't notice the way that the structure of the building was beginning to flicker in and out of existence. Neither of them noticed the cool breeze that was hitting them where they stood, and they didn't notice when the starry night sky was right above their heads.

It wasn't until they heard voices calling their names that they were brought out of their own little world and back to reality. "Doctor! Kari!" Amy shouted, running towards them, Jack running at them from the other side.

The four of them all hugged, all happy to be back together. "Okay, what the hell was that?" Jack asked, asking the question that Amy wanted answered as well.

"Yeah, there was this dark figure, and I saw… things…" Amy said, not really knowing what to say about what she had seen in the mirror.

"A malevolent creature, the Trickster." The Doctor told them, a slight darkness in his eyes. He wasn't going to forget what the Trickster had done to Kari, to all of them.

Jack's eyes seemed to widen with recognition. "The Trickster?" He asked in disbelief, causing the Doctor and Kari to nod at him. "So, everything that happened in there, it was all a trick?"

Kari swallowed nervously. "Well, not all of it. It kind of depends on what you saw." She told them quietly.

Straight away the Doctor noticed, and he knew he needed to talk to her, before they even thought of heading back to the TARDIS. "Can you two give us a minute? Kari and I… I need to ask her something."

"Uh, yeah, sure. Come on, Red. I could sure do with a drink after that." Jack said, holding his arm out to Amy. "And I might treat you to a drink as well." She chuckled a little, and happily went off with Kari's big brother, giving the two a little space.

Now the Doctor was nervous as well. Jack had said that it was all a trick, that it wasn't real, but Kari disagreed, some of it was true. "Kari, what… what did you see?" He wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know the answer, because what he had seen had hurt him.

"Doctor, don't. It doesn't matter what I saw. It doesn't matter what any of us saw. It's over now." She couldn't talk about it, not just yet, because the Trickster had been right. What she had seen was what she had wanted, but with the Doctor she would never get it. The reflection of herself with the Doctor, and their children, she had loved that, she had wanted that to be real. But inside, she knew it never would be.

He just shook his head at her. "No, it does matter. You can't keep running away from things, Kari. I need to know something, I need to…" He took a deep breath, preparing himself for what he had to say next. "Do you want to go home?"

Kari looked up at him, tears actually glistening in her eyes already. And then she nodded at him. "Yeah, I do. I want to go home, Doctor. Please, I want to go home." And in an instant, the Doctor's hearts shattered.

The best he could manage was a nod, keeping the tears he had at bay. He hadn't believed what he had seen, what the Trickster had shown him, but now he had no choice but to believe it. "We… uh, we should find Amy and Jack first." He said, clearing his throat. He couldn't let Kari see that he was upset, he didn't want her to know that he was breaking inside.

Except she knew him better than he thought she did. "Doctor, why does it look like you're about to cry?" Kari asked, making no attempt to move from the spot she was standing on.

"It doesn't matter. Come on, let's get those two and then get you home." He was trying to be strong, and Kari could see that.

Then she realised what he had said. "No, wait a minute, Doctor. Did… did you think… No, Doctor. You don't understand, do you?" All he could do was look at her. "Yes, I want to go home. But do you know where my home is?" He shook his head, causing Kari to let out a sigh. "Doctor, my home is with you. In the TARDIS."

Now he was confused. Completely and utterly confused. "What? But I… I thought… I saw you, you kept saying that you wanted to go home. You were pleading to go home."

Kari rolled her eyes at him. "Yeah, I wanted to go home, and the TARDIS is my home. You know, you can be such an idiot at times, Doctor." She told him, before throwing her arms around his neck. "But you're my idiot." After that, she let a few tears slip out of her eyes. If her head wasn't in a mess before, it certainly was now.

They were once again lost in their own little moment as the Doctor held onto her tightly while a few more tears slipped down, so they once again failed to notice the two people watching them. "So, you think they're okay?" Amy asked Jack quietly as they watched the pair.

Jack just smiled at his Princess and the Doctor. "Those two are always okay. Nothing can split them up, no matter how much the universe tries, it's never going to happen." He knew they would go through hell together, and always come out of it stronger. This was no different. "I think they've had enough time now." He then announced, dragging Amy over to the pair where he cleared his throat loudly.

"Ah, you both ready to go?" The Doctor asked them, wiping away the rest of Kari's tears and smiling.

"Oh, I am so ready to leave this place." Amy said with a sigh. "I never want to see a house of mirrors ever again. Actually, I don't think I ever want to see a mirror ever again."

The other three just laughed at her as they made their way back to the impossible blue box that was bigger on the inside and travelled through all of time and space. The Doctor didn't let go of Kari's hand the whole time, and she didn't let go of his either. She had made a decision, and she knew there were things that she needed to tell the Doctor, and she had to do it while she still had the courage.

When they were outside of the box, Kari put her hand on the door. "This… this is home." She whispered, and the door clicked open, making her smile even more.

An hour later, after having a nice cup of tea and some time to relax, Kari and the Doctor were both left alone, in his room. The Doctor had cleaned up all the little cuts from the glass, and by cleaned up he actually used a little regeneration energy to heal them all. They were now lying on his bed, Kari wrapped up in his arms. "What did you see, Doctor? What did the Trickster show you?"

He didn't know whether he should tell her or not, but he knew that if he didn't, she would never tell him what she was shown. "I saw you, happy, and a life with someone else."

"He… he showed me that too." Kari admitted. "He showed me my dad, he was a wreck because I was missing. He was trying to get me to leave, to leave you." That had been the Tricksters ultimate goal, but it would never have worked. "But… there was something else he showed me, something that I know I can never have."

The Doctor sat up a little, forcing Kari up as well. "And what was that?" He asked as he played with her hair.

She wasn't entirely sure that she wanted to tell him, but she knew she had to. She needed to stop trying to keep it together herself, she needed to let him in. "Us, married and with a family. We… uh, we were living in the TARDIS, with two children. He showed me that, and told me that no matter how much I wanted it, I would never have it."

"Kari…"

"No, Doctor. It's okay. A long time ago, before I ever met you, that was what I wanted. I wanted to get married and have a family. For a long time, that was all I ever dreamed of. But then I met you, and everything changed." And that was the truth. Kari knew a long time ago that she would never have that, but she didn't care, because she had something so much better.

The Doctor let out a sigh as he kissed the top of her head. He was glad that she had actually told him, and that she wasn't trying to keep it from him, to avoid it and not talk about it. Finally she was opening up a little. "So, is there anything else?" He asked, hoping she would talk about what had happened before she jumped to him.

"Such as?" Kari had a fairly good idea about what he was talking about, but she was still a little unsure of talking about it yet.

"It doesn't matter. Just remember, you need to talk to me, Kari, you need to tell me what's going on." The Doctor told her, having the sinking feeling she still didn't want to talk. At least he had felt some relief, when she had told him that the TARDIS was her home. He really didn't think he would be able to carry on if she had left him.

She knew he was right, she had been keeping everything in for too long now, and it was doing nothing but hurting the Doctor. "Things… things have been difficult, Doctor." Kari admitted. "Everything that happened with… with… him, well, it got to me. He lied to me, and I believed those lies. I stood by him, I listened to his lies and did nothing to stop him. He made me forget everything, he made me forget you."

The Doctor could see that it was difficult for her, and that she was trying her best to get everything out in the open. "It's okay, Kari. Just take your time and remember, none of it was your fault and I do not blame you for anything."

"I was so confused, Doctor, I knew something wasn't right, I could feel it. When I looked at you, it hurt, everything hurt. And he scared me, he scared me so much that I didn't want to go against him." Kari knew that she wasn't going to stop now, not now that she had finally started to explain everything to him. "I didn't want to be stuck there, I wanted someone to help me, someone that I could trust. And River came for me."

His eyes widened a little at that piece for information. "River? What… how did she…"

Kari just smiled at him. "Psychic paper. I pleaded for someone that I trusted to help me, and then she just appeared out of nowhere. And she got me to Martha."

Things started to fall into place for the Doctor now. "Those energy spikes, that was her vortex manipulator. I always wondered what that was."

"Doctor, the things that I saw… I'm never going to be able to forget that. I was scared, and I was lost. I couldn't remember anything and I was falling to pieces. By the end of it, I wasn't myself. I wanted to shoot him, I held a gun at his head, but in the end, he shot me." The memory flooded her mind, and she could see the struggle, and hear the gun shot. "I was so scared, Doctor, I didn't know who to trust or what to do."

"Oh, Kari… it's okay. I know it was hard for you, and I know you saw some terrible things." The Doctor told her, holding her tightly as she finally broke down in tears. He was glad that it had happened now, while they were alone and safe in the TARDIS. "But I will always be here, no matter what happens."

Kari held onto the Doctor even more tightly while she let out the tears that had been built up for so long. "Doctor, I still have nightmare about it. I remember everything that happened, I remember him telling me that I was engaged to him. He tried to take advantage of my lack of memory, and I want to hate him for it all, I really do, but something is stopping me."

The Doctor pulled her closer and let her cry. She needed to cry, she needed to let it all out. "Hey, come on, Kari. Everything is okay now." He was just trying to reassure her that everything was all right, that it was over with and she didn't have to speak of it any more.

"But, Doctor, it's not just him." Kari admitted to him, wiping her eyes a little. "Before… before that year, something else happened. Something… I done…" She stopped to swallow the lump in her throat. "Balavin." The name came out as a whisper, but the Doctor still managed to hear her.

Now he understood why she had been so closed off. It hadn't just been because of the Master that she started to going into her shell, to become a completely different person, it was Balavin. He could remember how badly that had hit her, and she hadn't had a chance to tell him what had happened before everything kicked off with the Master. She was already stressed and confused, she needed to talk about that, but she didn't get the chance. "And that is in the past as well." The Doctor told her, kissing the top of her head once more. "We can get past all of this, Kari. We will get past all this."

"Doctor, I'm sorry. For everything I've put you through, for the way I've been acting. I just… I thought it was better if I just tried to block it all out, to lock it all away." Kari told him, being completely honest with him. "I knew it was a bad time for you, I thought talking about it and bring it up would just make things worse. I didn't… I didn't think."

"I know, and it's okay. I'm just glad you've finally decided to talk to me about it. I've been worried about you, Kari. I was worried that you were going to shut me out completely, you had already started to do it, and you were becoming nothing more than a shell. We all noticed it, that's why I got Jack here, because I knew you would never shut him out."

His words actually stung her a little. "Doctor, I never meant to shut you out like that, honestly, I didn't. I just wasn't ready to talk about it, and you just kept on pushing and pushing, and then Amy started to push as well. It was too much for me. I wanted to forget it all, to pretend none of it ever happened, not him or Balavin. I've been hurting you so much, and I didn't want to hurt you any more."

The Doctor shifted around on the bed, so that they were facing each other, and gently rested his hands on her cheeks, using his thumb to wipe away the tears. "Kari, it wasn't what happened that hurt me, it was what you were doing. You shut me out, you made me feel like you didn't need me around, like you didn't want me. And that was what drew the Trickster to you. He could see how fragile you were, and he tried to take advantage of that, but you are so much stronger than that. I know that, and you know that." He told her softly. He wasn't having a go at her for everything, he was trying to make her understand that she just needed to tell him the truth. "You were loosing sight of everything, of who you are, of how much you mean to me. But you have to remember, Kari, that no matter what happens, I will be here, every single time."

Kari nodded at him, before wrapping her arms around his neck and letting some more silent tears fall. She felt better now, having spoken about it, having told him how it all made her feel. She hadn't gone into details, but the Doctor was okay with that, he never expected her to give him all those tiny little details. To him, the most important thing was that she had finally opened up, she had been honest with him, that was what matter. She was no longer pushing him away, locking everything up and trying to dismiss it all. He knew she would get better now, even if there were still times that made her lose herself slightly. Right now, the Doctor had his Kari back, and she was on the way to healing properly. And he would be there every step of the way.

A/N: I do hope you all enjoyed that chapter. It was about time that Kari got everything out in the open and told the Doctor how she was actually feeling about everything that had happened, and a few people got it right about what Kari called 'home'. I just hope you all enjoyed it.

I'm just going to take this time to answer a few reviews and questions. I know I don't do it very often, but I will be doing it today.

1. Yes, I do still plan to do the classic, but at the moment I just don't have the time. I have 5 stories going and I am struggling to keep up with those and have knocked that down to 4. Right now, I wouldn't be able to handle it.
2. Right now I have no plans of actually introducing children belonging to the Doctor and Kari into the story. If I was going to do that, I think it would be in a completely different story, not this one.
3. Kari and her adventures with Merlin, again I actually have big plans for that, so it's going to have to wait until I get things under control I'm afraid.

Okay, now that's out of the way, welcome to all you new and lovely readers who have favourited/followed the story! And an absolutely massively fantastically big thank you to everyone that have taken the time to leave a review, not matter how long or short. You guys are brilliant.

I'm going to shut up now, and try to catch up on some of my other stories. So, until next week!

Pippa.
