The Doctor sighed sadly, he had been standing outside this door for the past 10 minutes trying to work up the courage to knock. He didn't know what to expect but he knew it may be his last chance.

He rose his hand and knocked the door a few seconds later out stepped a young man of about 25 in his 4th regeneration he had curly hair firm mouth and upon seeing the man in his doorway a scowl of hatred crossed his face.

"You! What are you doing HERE?"

The Doctor gave a grim smile.

"Nice to see you to son."

"Don't call me that! To you it will always be just Sam and you're lucky I let you call me that."

"Sam… can't we just talk without arguing?"

Sam let out a bitter laugh.

"Talk, you took my daughter from me… and you ask if we can talk!"

The Doctor looked up sharply a fierce gleam in his eyes.

"It was Susan's choice to come with me. She didn't have to go!"

"It was you and your revolutionary ways that persuaded her to leave. It was safer here!"

The Doctor could no longer keep his anger in check and he exploded.

"SAFER!? Have you been watching the news recently! We are going to war with the most ruthless race in existence and you think it's safer! At least my way I let her choose her own path the same way I did with You! Which you don't seem happy to do with your own family. At least my way however this war goes she'll be safe on Earth, The daleks in that era have only recently left, they won't be back in a hurry. Oh yes by the way would it interest you to know she's married now to a human and I couldn't be prouder!"

"I bet you would be HALF BREED!"

The Doctor recoiled as if slapped and even Sam seemed appalled by what he had just called his own Father and he spoke more softly.

"I…I didn't mean that I just… Look you surprised me, I haven't seen you for centuries and then you just turn up on my front door step asking to talk like it had only been a few days ago. Come back in a few days and worn me in advanced. I'll see you soon."

With that Sam closed the door leaving a very miserable Doctor standing there.

"That could have gone better." A voice spoke sarcastically behind him. The Doctor turned to see his new blue friend with a sympathetic look on his face.

"Ah my dear Sonic, when a Farther and son have a falling out it's very difficult for them to get a relationship back. What are you doing here anyway?"

"Well I'm inviting all my new friends on to 'Light' for a victory party against The Dalek assault on my world. They'll be plenty of chilli dogs." The Doctor smiled

"All right I'll be there shortly."

Sonic sped of to find everyone else. Leaving the Doctor to ponder his thoughts.

Dalek Sec approached the Emperor feeling… happy at least that's what Sec thought this emotion was refered to as.

"Emperor the Cult has orders for you to invade planet arcainia it is the most vulnerable area to invade. Acknowledge"

"I OBAY!"
