"Dad, I need to talk to you." I say, trying to cover up how nervous I am telling him my secret.
"anything." He tells us and me feel a little bit reassured.
"At school, I was bullied for being smart, saying things like timey wimey, and wearing fake glasses just because they make me look clever. Also for saying things like clever and brilliant. They eventually had the whole school turned on me. McKenna was my only friend. But now I know that it was really the Doctor in me just trying to come out and explore."
"Why didn't you tell me this?" he asked surprised.
"Remember, I just met you like yesterday." I tell him.
"Oh oh that's right. Any way go on." He says.
"Well I never cut myself or anything until."
"No you didn't." he cuts me off. And pushes the sleeves of my jacket up. His face darkens even more when he sees the scab on my wrist, right over the veins where the razor blade rubbed against my skin.
My voice quivers, "I, I, I tried. I tried to kill myself. Then I changed my mind because I had never realized that if I'm brave enough to die then I'm brave enough to face the problem. So the next day, I told those girls that they're just jealous and will never be as smart as I am. Then she hit me. And I punched her in the face. Nobody even messes with me or talked to me since."
"I'm so sorry, Lucy." He hugs me and gently kisses my forehead. I fail to hold back the tears. It all spills onto his jacket.
For a while we just sit there. I have my eyes shut. He has his arms around me. Just he being there and holding me comforts me. Nobody says a word.

What did they do to her? She is never going back there. How could anyone not like her? She's pretty, no beautiful. With Rose's and my awesome looks. She also has my personality! Who couldn't like her? I just don't understand how kids can be so cruel. Maybe I, no we can go back there and tell somebody what happened. They don't call me the oncoming storm for nothing. I will make sure that those girls get what they deserve. I'm getting hungry, I think I'll tell her my plan over dinner. Should I ask her and ruin the moment?
"Lucy, what do you want for dinner?" I ask her
"You can pick." Her voice is still quivering.
"No, you pick. We can go anywhere." I want to treat her!
"Umm can we go somewhere on Earth?" she asks kind of timidly.
"Sure anywhere you want." I say in a kind, fatherly tone that I am proud of.
"How about Cheesecake Factory?" she says, she says finally starting to cheer up.
"Lucy, you can't eat at a factory." I can't believe she thinks you can eat at a factory!
"No Dumbo the Cheesecake Factory is a restaurant."
"Oh! Then let's go! What's the address?" I feel stupid now. She must be looking up the address on her iPhone.
"The shops at river side. 197 river side mall." She says when looks up from the bright phone.
"I'll drive the TARDIS and you stay here and rest a little bit longer."
I run out of her room.

The TARDIS jerks me onto my back. I hear it making its impossible humming sounds. I just lay here on my bed and enjoy it. About a minute later the TARDIS stops.
"We're here!" the Doctor calls.
"I need to change clothes and do my hair and makeup." I yell back to him.
"Ok don't be too long!" he answers.
I go to my bag and see what I've packed. Oh great, I've only packed one spare outfit and it is sweats.
"I don't have anything to wear." I yell to dad.
"Go check the dressing room of the TARDIS, it has lots of outfits."
I wander around until I find it. It is magnificent! It looks like a store but from anything time period imaginable. I grab a long sleeve burgundy top, ripped skinny jeans, tan wedge boots that lace up, and a long white sweater with fringe on the bottom. I'm starting to feel light headed again so I sit down and change clothes. I feel a little better so I stand up and walk to my room, get my straightener out of my bag and straighten my messy hair in the bathroom. Next is makeup, I put concealed over my pimple and under my eyes. Then I do winged eyeliner. Then eye shadow and red lipstick.
I go to the console room of the TARDIS he sees me and says.
"You look good."
"thanks." I say back.
The TARDIS springs to life. I grab the railing so I don't fall, again.
