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.

Mai clutched onto the silver handles of The TARDIS' doors, hanging on for dear life. She reached into her inside pocket and took out her sonic, pointing it at the console, sparks flying out of it, the doors flying shut and throwing her forward and onto the floor. She lay on the floor, breathing heavily and not moving whilst The Doctor and River stayed where they were in shock. She lifted up her head and her and her parents stared at each other in silence. River looked at her and opened her mouth to say something before shutting it again and shaking her head. The TARDIS shook again as it entered safe space.

"Oh!" Mai said, jumping up and running to the console, pulling round the scanner. She smiled as the scanner told her they were safe. The Doctor and River walked towards her, sorting themselves out, staring at her in disbelief.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" River asked, glaring at her.

"Or hello as people used to say?" Mai said nervously, gulping as her parents looked at her.

...

"I'm telling you Dad, I'm fine!" Mai snapped as the 3 of them sat in the med bay.

"Sweetie, you were milli-seconds from falling into a black hole." River said, stroking her hair. "Do you want me to go get some of your clothes for you to change into?"

"I have no clothes."

"You have no clothes?"

"Luke threw them all out the window." Mai said, biting her lip nervously.

"WHY?" The Doctor spluttered.

"I woke up this morning to screaming from Sarah-Jane and the others. I ran downstairs and he was throwing my clothes out of his bedroom window for no reason. When I confronted him, he just shouted at me to get out of the house. It's not important, you were coming to get me for Messaline anyway."

"How dare he!" The Doctor said, anger bubbling up inside him before suddenly calming down. "You were right."

"It's easier if you just pack your stuff up and go." River said.

"Geronimo, let's go then."

...

She was only wearing a simple black vest top and some jeans with her hair flowing everywhere, but Luke had never thought she looked more beautiful. Luke sat on his own in the corner whilst everyone else chatted to each other and Mai packed everything into boxes. If only she knew, he thought. He wanted to tell her, he wanted to scream out and tell her, tell everybody. Mai came walking out of The TARDIS from putting a box inside and stared at him. It broke his heart as she didn't look at him the way she used to. All the emotion and glow of the smiles and the deep thought and love in her eyes. It was empty now. She just stared at him and carried on, saying nothing to him. He'd lost the love of his life, but he knew that he had to.

"I'm absolutely knackered."

"Of you are sweetie, you nearly fell into a black hole." River said.

"I think I've got everything." Mai said.

"I'm gonna miss you!" Rani said, throwing her arms around her.

"I'll miss you too." She said as Rani let go, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Please visit. You can't not stay away from the planet you've spent your whole life on forever."

"I have no reason to come back. Mum and Dad will, but I won't."

"What about us?" Clyde said. "And Sadie and Charlie and Harley? And your grandparents and great-grandparents in Leadworth? You can't just go."

"I think you'll find I can." Mai said, turning to Sarah-Jane. "It was a honour, Sarah-Jane." She said before saying her tearful goodbyes and they went into The TARDIS whilst the others watched it materialize away.

"It's all your fault." Sky spat at Luke.

"I know." He whispered.

...

"Well, hey! We've still got time until Jenny's ready for you, let's have some fun. The 3 of us!" The Doctor said, spinning round the control room whilst Mai giggled, following him and pulling levers, sending them flying while River sat on the chair, laughing at them both. "What about Calypso V? A star system of 10 planets of the fourth great and bountiful human empire, I've been there before, lifetimes, but we can avoid me cause I was on Satellite 5! We can go to New Venus! But we've gotta avoid the sandstorms, but that's ok!"

"Brilliant." Mai grinned.

"DOCTOR!" They all turned round to hear banging and calling from the door.

"But we haven't landed?" Mai said in confusion. She ran towards the doors, holding onto the handles cautiously.

"Careful." The Doctor hissed. Mai opened the door a little and saw a flash of blonde before slamming the door shut again, turning back to her parents. "Well?"

"Rose is outside."

"WHAT?"

"We must have slipped through the time or something, to a time when you were still travelling with her." Mai said, running up to the scanner, typing away.

"Maybe a time when you took her home to see her family for a bit?" River said, looking at her husband.

"Yeah, a time with zeppelins." Mai gulped, pulling the scanner round.
