She stared at him.
"Mai, please don't go."
"You have Maria." She repeated.
"So? I still need you."
"No." She said.
"Sorry?"
"I said, NO!" She yanked her arm awway from him. "You can't just do this to me, you can't treat me like shit and expect me to come back to you when you miss me, it's not fair Luke!" She hissed. "I want you to leave."
"No Mai it wasn't like that-"
"I want you to leave." She said bluntly. "I'd like you to leave me, and my family alone please, we need to be together as a family now, and I can't see anyone wanting you here. Take this if you need a lift." She said, strapping the vortex minipulator onto his wrist. "Dad will give me a lift back, if they turn up, if not I'll stay here."
"Mai!"
"They're my family, and they need me. I'd like you to leave please." She said. He sighed and slowly walked down the stairs and out the door, shutting it behind him before there was a flash of light, and he had teleported away.
...
"I'm telling you Luke." She hissed. "You get her out of your house, or I'll do it. I don't want her living with you, trying to steal you away from me."
"Please Maria-"
"No Luke!" She snapped. "I will do it, and don't think I won't. You will do everything I say, or I'll do it."
...
2 hours had gone by, and they had heard nothing from River and The Doctor, or Amy and Rory, where the hell were they? Mai walked into the room, plassing her great-grandmother a cup of tea and leaning against the bedside table, watching her great-grandfather sleep on the bed, covered in a cold sweat.
"Heard anything from Amelia?" Tabetha asked.
"Nothing, sorry Nanna." Mai sighed. "From what I can understand he's got nuemonia maybe? I can't be too sure."
"What about your mother, and The Doctor?"
"I'll try again." She sighed, walking out onto the landing and sitting on the stairs, taking out her phone and dialing, until the answer machine set it. 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! "Where are you?" She whispered, tears pouring down her face. "You promised. You said, you'd always be there, when I needed you. When I needed you both." She sobbed. "Please. It's Grandad Augustus, he's ill. I've been here on my own for 2 and a half hours with them. I can't get hold of Amy and Rory, I have no idea what to do. Medically I do, but there's nothing. The hospital won't take him, they've no room. Please, just help me." She whispered, hanging up. She wiped the tears from her eyes and walked downstairs and out the door, standing, watching the spot where The Doctor crashed all the way back in 1996. Her hair flew back with the wind and she grinned at the sounds of the engines, and the bluest blue box appeared in front of them. The Doctor stuck his head out of the door and smiled at Mai before him and River walked out, shutting the door behind them. "Took your time." Mai said as River wrapped her in a hug.
...
"I'm so sorry we didn't come quicker." Amy said as they all sat around the bed.
"Will I be ok?" Augustus croaked.
"Your gonna be absolutely fine." The Doctor said. "You just need sleep that's all. Now, come on you." He said, placing a hand on Mai's shoulder. "Better get you home."
"Home." She muttered as they said their goodbyes. The three of them walked down the garden path and into The TARDIS. Mai walked up the console, flying her into the vortex. "I really, really, don't want to go back." She sighed, sitting on the chair. Her parents smiled at her weakly.
"Not long til Messaline now." The Doctor said.
"I have nothing left there now. Luke's with Maria, I've lost Melody, what's the point now? I might as well come back to The TARDIS before Messaline."
"You still have to pack, and you have Sadie and Charlie."
"Suppose. I'm gonna start packing tomorrow though. But I've decided, after the move I'm gonna be in The TARDIS more."
"That's fine with us." The Doctor said, parking The TARDIS in the attic.
"Seeya later, love you!" Mai said, walking out of The TARDIS and watching it materialize.
...
"LUKE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Mai woke with a halt, jumping out of bed and running downstairs to see what was going on. Rani, Clyde, Sky and Sarah-Jane stood outside the front door watching up at Luke's room as he threw all of Mai's clothes out of the window.
"He's lost it, he's finally lost it." Clyde said. Mai ran back inside and up the stairs, bursting into Luke's room.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I want you out of my house, now!" He snapped.
"Oh sorry if I upset you last night, sorry you didn't get your own way." She said sarcastically.
"Luke, what are you doing?" Sarah-Jane said breathlessly, the other appearing behind them.
"I was leaving for Messaline today anyway." She said quietly, everyone's faces dropping. "I was going to tell you later, I was worried how you might react. But it's ok, you want me to go? I'll go." She said, pushing past the others and walking off, the others following. He slumped against the bed, tears pouring down his face, taking out his phone from his pocket.
"She's gone." He said when the phone was answered. "Please, don't hurt her." He whispered.
...
The TARDIS was dark. The coordinates Mai had set must have landed her in the night. She flicked a few switches and pulled the scanner round, searching for where her parents were. She smiled when she saw her mother's life signal appear on the screen. She was asleep, so she decided to leave her. She spotted the double heartbeat coming from the library and smiled, sending The TARDIS into the vortex and heading off to her room to leave her father in peace. She shut the door on her room and got changed, slipping under the covers as the lights went out.
The Shadow Proclamation burnt. The fire and explosion ripped past the base, taking a transportation pod with it, killing everyone on board. Including a baby. A baby called Sarah-Jane Melody Halo. And now she's dead.
Mai woke up with a start. She flung her head forward and looked up, swallowing. She breathed heavily and swung her legs round to the floor and stood up before getting dressed and walked along the corridors. She headed towards the control room before the whole ship shook, being flung against the wall. She jumped up and ran into the control room, hanging onto a pole on the balcony, wind ripping through The TARDIS, her hair flying everywhere. She looked over to the doors, they were wide open over looking a black hole, she looked back over to the console and The Doctor and River were pulling controls whilst holding onto the console as they were being pulled towards the doors. Mai looked at the scanner, SHIELDS FAILING written in gallifreyan on the screen.
"RIVER!" The Doctor screamed as River couldn't reach the last lever, her hands slipped from the console and she flew towards the doors, The Doctor catching her and holding her by the waist, holding onto the pole of the lower balcony. The wind fixed them, they couldn't move. They stared into each others eyes, they knew it was the end. Mai pushed herself from the pole, struggling towards the console. Her parents stared on in fear as she clutched onto the console, looking at them. She hadn't spoken or seen them once since arriving the night before, they had no clue she was there, and now they may lose her for real.
Mai yanked the last lever down and the wind got stronger as The TARDIS tried to power away from the black hole and they grinned at her. Their faces dropped as Mai's hands dropped from the console. She came hurtling towards the doors and River reached out to grab her but she was too slow. River and The Doctor screamed as they watched their daughter hurtle towards the doors, about to fall out and into the black hole.
