Clyde, Rani and Sky were the worst. The dirty glances they were giving her were horrendous. Sarah-Jane just sat awkwardly in silence. They had planned this day a good 2 months ago. Mai, Rani, Clyde and Luke. They were heading down to Cardiff in the morning to see Jack, Gwen, Martha and Mickey for a bit before heading to some of the clubs in the evenings. Mai walked into the attic, plonking her bag down before looking at Luke. He sat there awkwardly with Maria clinging to his arm.

"Um, Maria's gonna come with us if that's ok?" Luke murmered.

"Oh." Mai said, walking round the attic trying to find her keys. She leant down behind the sofa and stopped. A flash of pale pink caught her eye. She leaned further down and picked it up, standing up straight. It was Melody's blanket. She stared at the blanket for a few moments before sighing and putting it on the side.

"Who's is this then?" Maria asked, carlessly picking it up, earning a lot of death stares which she didn't notice.

"It's, um, it's Melody's." Mai said quietly.

"Oh yeah, where is the kid?" Maria asked, Mai biting her lip hard. "I'm like her step-mum now eh babe?" She grinned, squeezing Luke's arm tighter.

"She died Maria." Mai sighed, looking at her as she picked up her keys.

"Oh really, that's a shame." She said. "It'll be better for us though." She looked at Luke. "Going out with a single father, that would look bad."

"Has anyone seen my car keys?" Luke asked, ignoring Maria.

"Don't worry, I've got my set." Mai said, trying not to scream at Maria.

"Why do you have the keys to my boyfriend's car?" Maria asked, looking Mai up and down like she'd fallen in mud head to toe.

"Um, we used to share it."

"Oh when you had the kid?"

"Before Mels was born as well." She sighed, picking up her bag again. "Everyone ready to go?"

...

"She needs a smash in the face, I'm telling you." Rani spat. "Going out with a single father, that would look bad!" She mimicked, brushing her hair. "Who the fuck did she think she was? Why did you let her say that Mai?"

"Because, I still want to be friends with him." Mai said, leaning back on the bed. They sat in a hotel room with 2 double beds in and a bathroom. It's all they could afford.

"Oh no Luke, I insist we get our own room, we need our own space." Clyde called out from the bathroom. "I know something's gonna go wrong tonight, and stuff will be said."

"No Clyde, stuff will not be said." Mai snapped. "It's bad enough she's turned up after 2 months of planning, we don't want this to get any worse now do we?"

"Mai..."

"Clyde!"

"But Mai-"

"Rani!"

"Tonight is not going to go well, I'm telling you that." Clyde muttered.

...

The music was at a comfortable volume. They all leaned against the bar chatting to each other but Mai stared into space. Luke found himself watching her whilst listening to Maria witter on. Mai chewed the inside of her mouth and sighed, swirling the straw round in her drink. That's when she saw him. She placed her drink down and walked to the other side of the room and stood next to him, leaning against a bar, but he didn't notice her, whilst Luke, Clyde and Rani watched the whole thing. She didn't look at him, she just stared ahead.

"When I last saw you, we were a couple of unruly 14 year olds, shouting out and rebelling against society, how times have changed." She said. They both stared ahead, not looking at each other. He silently put his arm round her and she layed her head against his chest. "Hey Sam." She whispered.

"I'm just going to the toilet." Maria said, walking off.

"Who's that?" Luke hissed.

"Dunno." Clyde said.

"Well what's he doing with his arm around her?"

"Ooh, someone's sounding jealous." Rani commented.

"Shutup Rani." He said, looking at them. "She just walked straight up to him!"

"Or maybe she knows him?"

"He just can't do that!"

"Whoah, you can't get over protective now Luke, ok?"

"I can still get protective she's the mother of my chi- oh damn." He muttered, taking out his phone as it started to ring, Maria appearing next to him. He frowned as a unknown number appeared on his screen. "Hello?." He said, putting a finger to Maria as she went to say something. "Whoah, whoah, whoah ok, calm down. Calm, it'll be ok. I'll get her don't worry. Seeya in a bit." He ignored all of Maria's questions and pushed past everyone, walking straight up to Mai. "Mai we've gotta leave."

"Sorry?"

"Tabetha just rung it's your grandad, he's ill. She was panicking and everything. We need to go back to Leadworth, like proper, upper Leadworth."

"Your joking?" He shook his head. "I can't take the train, I don't have time." She said, searching through her bag and putting the car keys in Luke's hand before taking out the vortex minipulator and strapping it to her wrist. "I'll be home... well I don't know when, but I'll ring you."

"I'm coming with you." Luke said, giving her car keys to Clyde.

"No your not." Maria and Mai said at the same time.

"I'm not leaving you to go on your own, especially if River and The Doctor aren't there yet." He said, looking deep into her eyes.

"Sam, I'll ring you." She said, as Luke took her hand.

"Luke!" Maria squealed.

"Sorry." He said bluntly, as they teleported off.

...

"So much for a night out then..." Mai muttered as they walked up the long garden path. She stopped outside the door in the pitch black and took out her sonic, pointing it at the door and they quietly walked in, shutting the door behind them. She ran upstairs, Luke trying to catch up with her and walked into her grandmother's old room, where her great-grandfather lay on the bed, unable to move and out of breath and great-grandmother sat. "Hey Gramps." She said, rushing to his side and kneeling on the floor as Luke stood in the doorway.

"Mai." He wheezed. "Where's Amelia?"

"She's around here somewhere Gramps." She said, getting up. "Me and Luke will go find her. They walked out of the room and down the stairs, standing on the landing in silence. She leant against the wall, the part of the wall where the 6th door was that prisoner zero hid in, and took her phone out of her pocket. She carefully dialed the number, her hands shaking in the process. She stared at Luke and he stared back as the dialing tone echoed through her ear and into the big old house. She waited before a answering machine message kicked in. Oh ok, blimey! Probably leave a message after the tone or something, sorry I wasn't trying to do this, I was looking for the BREEAAKS! She chuckled lightly, listening to her father's stupidness before breathing sharply as the tone beeped. "Hi, it's me, I, uh, er. Look just ring me when you get this." She said quickly, hanging up and sticking her phone into her pocket.

"I hope this doesn't effect the move love." Tabetha said, sticking her head round the door.

"No Nanna." Mai said, as Tabetha dissapeared.

"What move?"

"Were re-locating."

"Where to?" Luke whispered, looking like he was going to cry.

"Back to my sister's home planet, Messaline."

"But what will I do without you?"

"You don't need me anymore, you have Maria." She said, turning round and starting to head down the stairs.

"I do." He said, catching her wrist.
