"Martha Jones!" The Doctor said a little bit too loudly.
We were in a park, somewhere in London, present day. Me and The Doctor sitting on a swing each, after dropping Amy and River off at some intergalatic spa and Rory back in Leadworth to see some friends, watching a couple with a little boy only about 2. We looked like a couple of perverts, but this was one of The Doctor's best friends. The woman, very pretty with black shoulder length hair's head shot up, looking over at us. She stared at The Doctor for a couple of seconds, before taking her husband Mickey's hand, sitting on a nearby bench, shaking it off.
"Did you know her when you had a different body then?" I asked, finally getting my head around the whole regeneration thing.
"Yeah, probably why she doesn't remember me." He murmered. "Come on." He said, outstretching his hand to me. "Time to go be parent-y."
"This is gonna be fun." I murmered, taking his hand and walking over to the bench where Martha was sitting with him.
"Hello." The Doctor said politely, smiling at Martha and Mickey.
"Hey." They said back smiling. "Are you looking for your child? Or sorry is this your child?" Martha said, grinning at me.
"No, this is my... neice." The Doctor lied. "I'm waiting for my wife to arrive with our daughter."
"What's her name?" Mickey asked.
"T-Tardis." He said quickly, Mickey and Martha stopping for a second before laughing quietly. "It's a odd name I know."
"Oh were familiar with it." They giggled. "This is our son, Oliver." Martha said, pointing to the toddler they had entered the park with, carefully playing with a spade.
"What a lovely name." I said, smiling at him.
"Yes, we named him after a colleague of mine, when I first met my best friend actually." Martha said, smiling to Mickey. "A man very important to us."
"Bare foot on the moon." The Doctor said calmly, crossing his legs and leaning back.
"I'm sorry?"
"Nothing." He flashed a smile. "This important man, do you miss him?"
"YES."
"Oh well I miss you too Martha Jones, and of course I'm important to you, otherwise you wouldn't have walked the Earth when I asked you would you?"
They froze, looking at The Doctor, and he smiled at them, before pointing behind them where The TARDIS was parked. They looked at it, staring forwards.
"Nice tweed boss." Mickey managed to murmur. I don't think either of them could really believe them.
A wide grin slowly appeared on Martha's face, and she jumped up at the same time as The Doctor, pulling him into a hug.
"You've regenerated!"
"I know! I look so sexy!" He joked, squeezing Martha before shaking hands with Mickey.
"Whoah hang on." Martha said, her smile fading away. "There is only one reason why you would come without me calling, there's something wrong."
"Nothing. Of course there's nothing wrong." He laughed nervously. "Can't I come see my best friend once in a while?"
She placed a hand on his chest and opened up his coat, putting her hand into his inside pocket, taking out a small round device, flashing and beeping. She sighed and rolled her eyes at him, putting the device right in front of his eyes.
"Doctor..."
"Ok, so maybe I dectected some rift activity." He mumbled, frowning like a small child.
"This is what Torchwood is for! You trained us remember?" Martha lectured him.
"The defenders of Earth." Mickey piped up, grabbing Oliver and putting him on his hip. "You really should be having time off, you've saved the world enough."
"Stop coming to Earth all the time have fun!" Martha grinned.
"She has a point." I said. "What if my social workers come after me? It's not like they won't realise, I'm the only one in the home!"
"Doctor?" Martha asked, her and Mickey looking confused.
"Mai Halo. Martha Jones and Mickey Smith." He sighed. "Mai travels with Me and River and Amy and Rory."
"YOU HAVE 4 PEOPLE TRAVELLING WITH YOU?"
"Yes Marth." He mumbled. "Amy is my best friend, Rory is her husband..."
"And who is River?"
"My wife..." He mumbled, smiling.
"Pardon?"
"MY WIFE."
"Your married? AW! Why wasn't we invited to the wedding?" Martha squealed, pinching his cheek.
"Martha! And yes I am." He grumbled shaking her off.
"What's she like?" Mickey asked, hitting him on the back.
"Amazing."
"Come on you." Martha said, grabbing his arm. "You can give us a lift home, haven't seen The TARDIS in a while. NO SIDE TRIPS!" She grinned.
We walked over to The TARDIS, unlocking it and letting Martha and Mickey in. They stared in awe at The TARDIS.
"When did you change it?" Martha asked, bounding up to the controls, Mickey following and Me sitting down while The Doctor sent us off flying.
"When I regenerated."
"Hang on Doc." Mickey said. "When you regenerated the last time, The TARDIS stayed the same. How come?"
"I kinda blew her up with the regeneration energy." He shuddered. "Poor girl. ANYWAY! Let's get you two home so we can go do... stuff."
"No, Doctor your just gonna go investigate, we've both travelled with you, we know what happens then, you have a teenager with you, you can't do that."
"She can look after herself!" He argued back.
"Thanks for that kind and considerate look out for me there." I said sarcastically.
"You used to be so serious, now look at you! Your like a jack in a box, personality of a 5 year old!"
"That's me!" He grinned, landing The TARDIS. "Here we go! Home home home for the Smith slash Jones!"
We walked outside and sat on the wall of Mickey and Martha's house, The Doctor fiddling with the device Martha had taken from his jacket.
"So what is that thing?" I asked.
"It's a Ghongle. It tracks life forms that are in distress down." He said, tapping it.
"So aliens have crashed here? Real life aliens?" I asked in amazement.
"Yes Mai, it's what we do everyday remember? It's just where..."
"Doctor, why don't you leave Me and Martha and Jack to deal with this yeah?"
"No Mickey, you guys could get hurt."
"Doctor, we work for Torchwood!"
"They all died, well apart from Gwen and Jack, and the hub got blown up anyway."
"We rebuilt it."
"Well, good. Actually..." He said, looking back up at us again. "I've just realised, Torchwood was built against me, technically your my enemies! Thanks alot you guys!"
"Do you want to come in for a cup of te-"
"GOT IT!" The Doctor cut her off, putting the device up. He grabbed my hand, ready to run. "Gotta go! Come on Mai!"
"DOCTOR!" We ran down the street, Martha and Mickey calling after us.
...
"I hate you..." I muttered.
We had eventually tracked the signal to the beach. A small private beach. Well someone's private beach, more like a massive back garden backing onto the sea. Basically, we broke into someone's back garden, which was covered in sand by the coast and started digging, whilst one of us kept a look out. The Doctor being that one of us. Apparently tweed 'doesn't do' sand grains, it gets stuck in the lining. I had been digging for 15 minutes, using my bare hands looking for something, we just didn't know what. I kept on digging before finding a small gold key, with a red glowing bump in the middle. I traced my hand over it, feeling it glow more and more.
"Doctor I think I've found what were-"
"HEY YOU TWO!" We looked round to see the person who lived at the house standing on the doorstep. He was gruff with a stubble and bald, pot belly in a dirty vest top and baggy shorts, covered in tattoo's and had- oh shit.
"He's got a pitchfork!" The Doctor hissed at me.
"Never mind that, run!" I said, as the man started running our way with the pitchfork. We ran across his massive garden, over a knee level fence and along the beach.
