"Luke?" the man called softly as he knelt over Luke's who was unconscious. "Luke Smith?"
Luke was slowly waking up "D-Doctor?" he asked.
"That's me," the Doctor grinned, "Good to meet you in the flesh."
"What happened?" Luke asked before sitting up quickly, "Mum! The Trickster!"
"Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke listen to me," the Doctor calmed him down, "Everything's going to be alright, we can find Sarah, we can bring her back, I promise. But I need you to be strong for me," the Doctor continued as Rani, Jenny and Clyde started to wake up, "Just like you were before. I know you can do it," he winked and Luke nodded slowly.
"Who are you?" Clyde asked.
"Hello!" the Doctor was on his feet and running over to Clyde, his hand held out to greet him, "Clyde!" he pulled the boy up to his feet.
"Which makes you Rani," the Doctor grinned, doing the same with Rani.
"And of course the brilliant Jenny." Pulling Jenny into a hug, but she just pushed him off and went to stand with Clyde
"What?" Clyde shook his head as the Doctor ran back to the altar and knelt down, searching the floor, "How did you know our names?" he said pulling Jenny behind him as if to help protect his sister from the strange man.
"Wait a minute you were…" Rani began, before pointing at the Doctor, "It's you isn't it?"
The Doctor stood and ran down the aisle, "It's me."
"The Doctor!" Rani's mouth dropped open.
"That's him," Luke nodded, sharing a look with Jenny, looks like the truth would come out today
"I hope you're as good as Sarah Jane says you are," Clyde asked
"Well…you know journalists, always exaggerating," the Doctor said, pushing himself off the ground facing away from them. "But yeah…" he turned to face them, "I'm pretty amazing on a good day… Right Jen?"
She didn't answer and looked away as K9 rolled out from under the table where he'd taken cover, "Master, inquiry, where is mistress Sarah Jane?"
The Doctor looked happy to see his old robotic dog, "K9!" he exclaimed, kneeling down to pat him, "Did you miss me? Did you miss me?"
"Repeat. Whereabouts of Sarah Jane? Where is she? "
"Where are we?" Clyde retorted.
He looked over to see Clyde and Jenny at a window Luke and Rani not far behind. The Doctor stood and walked down the red carpet that was the aisle towards the teenagers.
"Inter-dimensional shift," the Doctor explained, "Time's moved on. But us, at least for time being, we've been left behind."
"There's nothing out there!" Rani exclaimed looking at what can only be described as a huge cloud.
The Doctor turned and walked back down the aisle, looking around the room intently as the teenagers continued to look outside.
"I said all along, I knew there was something wrong about all of this," Clyde said before turning towards the Doctor, "And what, exactly, is going on?"
"I'll explain later," the Doctor remarked.
With that Luke, Rani and Clyde began speaking at the same time – until a loud shrill whistle echoed through the room the four turned to see Jenny sitting on a chair with her legs to her chest and chin on her knees.
"Thanks Jen" he nodded to the upset girl as they three fell quiet and Luke walked over and put his arm around his girlfriend, "Here's the answer to all your questions. Yes, it was the Trickster. Yes, we're trapped. Yes I'm the only ones who can get us out of the trap. Yes, I'm gonna bring Sarah Jane, and your mum and dad, and all the others back safe." Frowning when he saw Luke and Jenny. Not that he didn't like Luke but Jen was his baby girl.
"But we won't be able to do any of that without you," He added, pointing at them.
Clyde crossed his arms in disbelieve, "You need us?"
"Just like Sarah Jane needs you," he smiled at them.
"But my mum and dad," Rani shook her head, "Where are they?"
"Just go on with him Rani," Luke spoke quietly, "We saw him save the world. Jenny and I"
"You helped me save the world Lukey boy!" the Doctor told him "Jenny you wanna help?" he asked carefully knowing she probably hated him a little.
"Only cause I want to help Sarah-Jane." She replied.
"Right!" he said and turned to leave, "Come on, we can use the TARDIS!" they started to run after him, when he stopped suddenly and faced them, "I assume everyone knows what the TARDIS is?" they nodded, "Unless you've really not been paying attention...and..." he turned and ran off again, "Allons-y!"
They ran through the back doors the Doctor came through earlier and down the hall, back to the reception, to see nothing. The Doctor stopped. "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it was there!" he shouted, "It was right there! Wait, wait, wait." Doctor said sticking his arms out to stop them from coming forward any more, as the TARDIS starts to materialise in front of them
"That noise!" Rani gasped, "I've heard it before. Jenny said it was bad news and that … she never wanted to hear it again." Rani turned to Jenny in confusion.
"That was me, trying to break through for a while," The Doctor said, "Got knocked back by the Trickster.." ignoring the comment about what Jenny had said.
"Temporal schism is preventing TARDIS materialization," K9 stated, rolling up to them.
"Wait a minute…that's the TARDIS?" Clyde asked incredulously, "That's just a wooden box!"
"Come on!" the Doctor ignored him, focusing on egging the TARDIS on, "You can do it, more power, come on!" so Jenny answered instead,
"Its more than a wooden box." Clyde turned to her in confusion but got distracted from asking questions by the sight of the TARDIS disappearing
"OK, well, no TARDIS," The Doctor said slightly upset turning to face the four teenagers.
"It won't be able to materialize until time starts moving again," He told them.
"What, so we're trapped here?" Rani asked, "Wherever this is?"
"No, 'cos what have we got?" the Doctor grinned at them, "We've got K9!"
"Affirmative," K9 confirmed.
"And we've got you three and any friend of Sarah Jane Smith is a friend of ours. And we got Jenny she is plain brilliant, when she thinks about stuff."
"Okay. Enough. How do you know Jen?" Clyde asked,
"Clyde, now is really not the time. But there is loads of stuff I've never told you and mum, but I will tell you, and Rani, just when we get out of here." Jenny told him moving over and grabbing his hands in hers.
"But where is this?" Clyde asked again, moving his left arm around her shoulders, "What's happened to the rest of the world?"
"Our present location," K9 told them, "No-where, no-when."
"No-when?" Luke frowned.
"Look at the clocks," Jenny nodded at the clock on the wall.
"Time has stopped," Luke breathed.
"What?" Clyde moving his arm off of Jenny's shoulder to look down at his watch, "You're joking."
"No…" Jenny said corrected Luke,"Time hasn't stopped."
"This seconds on a loop," he told Rani when he saw her confused face,"23 seconds and 23 minutes past 3 o'clock."
The Doctor told them nodding "And we're caught inside it. In this one second."
"But, again, where is Sarah Jane?" Clyde asked.
"I think she's right here," The Doctor said, looking around.
"So we've been kept behind in this second…" Rani began, whilst pacing.
"Affirmative mistress Rani," K9 confirmed.
"But the rest of the world, mum and dad and everyone else, they've moved on from here going forwards in time. Why has the Trickster trapped us here?"
The Doctor pushed himself up from the floor where he had been listening to the floor "Oh, come on Rani, you know the answer to that," he looked over at the stairs and headed towards them.
"We're Sarah Jane's friends, all of us," Rani began, realization dawning on her, "Her best friends…"
The Doctor tossed his coat over as though to drop it on K9 but Luke caught it as he ran up the stairs.
"Which mean?" He asked at Rani, encouraging her to work it out.
"Hostages!" Rani spun around grabbing the closest persons hand, who happened to be Jenny who's other hand was in Luke's having grabbed it after he threw the Doctors coat on the sofa, "He can use us to get to her!"
Clyde shook his head, "But we've met the Trickster before but we've never actually found out who he is."
"The Trickster is a creature from beyond the Universe," the Doctor called, slowly walking down the stairs towards them, "Forever trying to break into our reality, manifest himself. He's one of the Pantheon of Discords."
"That's a good name for a band," Clyde said, in thought."How about it little sis? The Pantheon Of Discords?"
"Sure!" Jenny laughed
"Actually, not bad!" the Doctor looked at Clyde, slightly confused as to why he was calling Jen his sister. He shook his head and started talking again, "He's an eternal exile,who exists to wreak havoc. But we can fight him, the six of us, and we can win. Oh!" he pulled out his sonic as it beeped "Ha! That's it! There's a time trace here," He said moving over to the front desk the four teenagers following forming some type of diagonal line "Just a hint of Sarah Jane. Oh, she's close."
The teenagers turned and watched as moved to stand on the sofa.
"You do know it doesn't work better if you stand on the couch right?" Jenny asked him.
He shook the sonic, placing it to his ear as it beeped ignoring her.
Rani shivered suddenly, "What was that?" she looked at them, "Felt like someone just walked over my grave."
The Doctor looked down at her from atop the sofa. The Doctor aimed his sonic at her then followed the direction the beeping screwdriver said Sarah-Jane was travelling. He jumped off the chair and stood before them.
"Oh!" he exclaimed, walking forward slowly, "Oh! She's here! She's here!" He held up his sonic, beeping rapidly, "Sarah!"
"Sarah Jane," Rani corrected quietly,
"She doesn't like being called Sarah." Jenny told him,
The Doctor eyed them for a moment before shrugging, "She does by me."
They looked back over to see a ghostly form of Sarah in her gown run past them.
"K9!" the Doctor shouted, running to the door.
"Scanning master!" K9 began.
"Doctor!" a ghostly echo reached them, sounding a great deal like…
"Mum!" Luke shouted, running to the door "That was her!"
"K9, isolate the time trace. " Doctor ordered
"Affirmative Master," K9 replied.
There was another ghostly echo of a door shutting.
"K9!" the Doctor shouted, the beeping of the sonic slowing. Sarah Jane was gone.
"Temporal schism divided in two master," K9 answered.
"Of course!" The doctor said, "We're here, trapped in 3.23.23, and Sarah's trapped in another second."
"Hold on," Clyde cut in, looking at the Doctor, "You said you'd explain later, well, it's later…" he crossed his arms, as did Rani, "Please explain."
The Doctor nodded, before sighing, "The Trickster doesn't want us helping Sarah so he's separated us. Trapped us in two different seconds."
"Doctor!" another ghostly echo rang out from above them.
They all looked up.
"Oh, she's upstairs," the Doctor breathed before springing into action, "Come on!" he was about to run off, when he turned to Luke and Jenny, "Luke, K9, Jenny, watch for the TARDIS, you see it coming back shout the place down."
"Orders accepted master," K9 agreed.
"Rani, Clyde, you're with us!" He added, the three of them rushing off. Leaving Luke, Jenny and K9 alone. Luke leaned over and gave her kiss.
"Your dads very energetic. Kinda of like you."He said and leaned down again.
After he pulled away she replied, "I hope I'm nothing like him. I don't like leaving people like you behind."
"People like me?" he asked confused.
She smiled shyly. "People I love."
Luke's breath stopped. Then he grinned wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her into a hug. "I love you too Jen."
Spit spot!" the Doctor called as they ran up the stairs. They raced down a hall and through a door…only to find themselves back in the chapel room.
"How did we end up here again?" Rani asked, breathless.
The Doctor just looked around, concerned.
"It's a spatial loop mixed up with a temporal loop," Clyde answered.
The Doctor stopped and looked over at Clyde, a bit stunned at how his guess was spot on.
"How did you work that one out?" Rani asked him.
Clyde grinned smugly, putting his hands in the pockets of his brown suit, "Well, we've been doing this for a while now…I have taken notes."
The Doctor walked around the teenagers of in front of them. "Come on, come on, come on Sarah, let us find you."
"Hang on though, this is mad…" Rani walked forward with Clyde towards the Doctor, "The Trickster, he's this all powerful immortal who wants to cause chaos throughout the stars…and he wants Sarah Jane to get married?" she turned to the Doctor, "What does he get out of that?"
The Doctor looked up at them, "I have…absolutely no idea," he admitted, walking back past them and over to the fireplace, inspecting it as Clyde and Rani watched.
A moment later he pulled out her sonic, hearing it beeping rapidly, "She's here…" he looked around, before fiddling with his sonic, walking towards the altar with the children following him, "I should be able to narrow the loop ratio and…"
He flashed it on and a voice called out from behind them, "Doctor!"
They turned around to see the Trickster floating by the fireplace, now garbed in black.
"Oh, you look better in black or is white the new black?" the Doctor asked, putting the sonic away as he walked towards the Trickster.
"At last Doctor," the Trickster began.
The Doctor stepped forward, motioning for Rani and Clyde to stay back as he walked a bit more.
"I could feel this moment reverberating back through the ages, meeting the Pantheon of Discord, the last of the Time Lords…" the Trickster gave a mock bow as the Doctor just stood to face him.
"I've known the legends of the Pantheon since I was a little boy," he remarked, "We've fought your shadows and your changelings. I never thought we'd actually meet."
"And I knew legends of the Doctor, the man of ice and fire, walked among gods, once held the key to time in his hands," he smirked, "Now he's surrounded by children."
"They're my friends," the Doctor glared at him, "Which reminds me. You're looking a bit lonely for a pantheon."
"I embody multitudes .And who are you, the man who has lost everybody, well nearly everybody, your little girl's alive, to talk to me of loneliness, when the Gate is waiting for you?"
"What do you mean?" the Doctor frowned.
The Trickster laughed, looking at the Doctor, "Sarah Jane Smith is my prize. You knew Doctor. Didn't realize how wonderful she is…I wonder, will you make the same mistake again? Maybe with your daughter this time?"
The Doctor glared, "What do you want with Sarah?"
"What I've always wanted for many of those I visit, their agreement. Goodbye Doctor…"
And then he just disappeared.
"Agreement…" the Doctor muttered in thought, trying to focus on anything but the Trickster's mention of his mistake against his little girl, "The power of words…she says I do! Yes! That's it!" he spun around.
"That's what?" Clyde frowned.
"She promises to love and honour her husband," the Doctor began to explain excitedly, "Wedding ring goes on… And she's agreed to it, She'll be under the Trickster's power! Marital bliss, But she forgets all about this. She starts leading a new life." The Doctor said
"Forgetting about her old life," Rani's eyes widened, "Protecting the Earth!"
"And the planet's wide open so that aliens can just barge in," Clyde frowned.
"Without Sarah, without you lot, saving the world from your attic in here," the Doctor told them, "It'd be chaos and destruction. Food and drink to the Trickster."
"That's if she's gonna say yes." Clyde
"But she will, won't she. Because we're here"
There was suddenly a low wheezing noise that could only be the TARDIS, which drew the Doctor's attention. He spun around, rushing over to the back of the room with Rani and Clyde following as a blue haze appeared.
"TARDIS!" he shouted, "Beautiful yes! It's homing in on me. Emergency program, protecting the pilot. Of course. Partial materialisation."
The outline of the TARDIS became more pronounced.
"What's happening?" Luke asked, rushing into the room, pulling Jenny by her hand, having heard the TARDIS from the hall.
The Doctor pulled them back, holding out his arms so the teenagers wouldn't get hurt. Jenny grabbed Clyde's hand in shock and fear.
"Look!" he pointed at the electricity now fully crackling around the TARDIS.
"That's pure Artron Energy!" He warned them."TARDIS power, equal enough to Trickster's power," the Doctor grinned, "That's how we can fight!"
The TARDIS solidified, the energy still around the edges as the Doctor ran to the door, just managing to unlock it and get inside. But the wind started up again, forcing the teenagers back. The Doctor turned and reached out the door to them, Jenny reached out and just managed to grab the Doctor's hand, with the hand that had been holding Luke's, when the winds grew to be too much. The Doctor and Jenny were sucked into the TARDIS, Clyde who had been holding her hand falling straight into the walls, dosed with the energy. He fell away just as the TARDIS de-materialized.
The Doctor ran around the console, trying to get the TARDIS to take them to Sarah Jane to warn her.
He ran over to the monitor to see Clyde had come face-to-face with the creature, trying to buy them some time to get to Sarah Jane.
"We need to get to Sarah Jane," he shouted. "Now!"
They ran to the door, struggling to get it open, only to see Sarah Jane standing with Peter by the altar.
"Sarah!" the Doctor shouted.
Sarah Jane turned back with a gasp, running over to them as she saw them, "Doctor! Jenny!"
"Make it quick," Jenny shouted, struggling to keep the door open, "The TARDIS can't stabilize."
"Clyde's keeping the Trickster busy at the moment," the Doctor added, before grinning, "Oh those three are just brilliant! Brilliant friends for you and Jen."
"What can I do?" Sarah Jane asked them, strait to the point, with tears in her eyes, "If I say no, we're trapped here forever, if I say yes, I condemn the world to the Trickster. Either way I lose, there's no way out."
"It all rests with you Sarah. Your greatest challenge. The hardest thing you'll ever face in your life."
"What is it? Tell me what I've got to do."
The Doctor looked at her sadly, "You've fought the Trickster before, you know how he operates…how he can be defeated…" his gaze flickered to Peter.
"No…" Sarah Jane breathed, looking back at Peter as well. She swallowed hard and turned back to them, shaking her head sorrowfully, "No…"
"We know you're a good man Peter," Jenny said softly, looking at the man,
"I'm so sorry." The Doctor added
Electricity crackled behind them as well as a shout of pain. They looked over to see Clyde and the Trickster appear, hands locked as the Artron Energy swarmed around them.
"Clyde!" Sarah Jane gasped.
"I can't hold it!" The Doctor shouted as the door slammed shut, throwing him backwards and Jenny forwards.
"Jenny! Doctor!" Sarah Jane called from outside,running over to help Jenny up, but the TARDIS disappeared.
The TARDIS landed in the Reception where Rani and Luke were waiting, the seconds starting to converge again.
He said nothing as he just raced past the startled teenagers and back towards the chapel, bursting through the doors for what felt like the thousandth time. Sarah Jane was kneeling on the floor in her wedding gown, an unconscious Clyde in her arms, close to tears, Jenny on his other side crying whilst her hands were on his face.
"Mum! Jenny!" Luke shouted, running over to them,hugging Jenny as soon as he reached her, Rani kneeling down to check on Clyde, as the Doctor stepped past him and over to Sarah Jane.
"Doctor!" she gasped as the Doctor enveloped her in a hug from her left, "Doctor!"
"My Sarah Jane," the Doctor whispered to her, "You did it, the trap's broken, time's moving forwards again…"
The room started to shake once more, "We're going home," He said as the Doctor put his arms around everyone, holding them still, protecting them.
"Hold on!" Luke shouted.
"We're all going home!" the Doctor repeated.
The room shook violently as a bright light filled it. The energy waves surrounded them and suddenly…
"If any person can show just cause or impediment why they may not be joined together let them speak now or forever hold their peace." the Registrar asked for the second time that misfit day. Looking around everyone was in the same positions as before the bright light. Except Peter and The Doctor.
"Where's he gone? Sarah's bloke, where's he gone?" Gita asked looking around as if he was standing somewhere else and not at the alter.
"He was just there." Haresh said not willing to take his eyes off of where Peter should be standing whilst everyone else started turning around to face the back to look for him.
"Where's The Doctor gone?" Luke asked his friends
"That all really happened, didn't it?" Rani asked looking back at Clyde, then Luke and Jenny who was sitting on the same row as here.
"Yeah." Clyde said looking at his hand expecting it to glow blue
"Yep" Jenny said looking at Clyde hoping he would forget about the chat he wanted with her
"Affirmative." K9 said rolling out from underneath the table
"Mum?" Luke asked standing up
"I'm sorry, everybody." she said turning around,tears in her eye, witch made Jenny stand up and hug her "I'm afraid the wedding is cancelled." she said over Jenny's shoulder.
Sarah-Jane was sitting on the steps in her attic with K9, having changed out of her wedding dress. She stood up and two steps towards her alien computer.
"Mr Smith, I need you." with that the computer folded out of the wall with out the usual fanfare.
"Welcome back, Sarah-Jane." he replied not mentioning Sarah-Jane's haste to shut him down last time they talked, when Rani and Clyde entered with Luke and Jenny not far behind them holding hands, which made Sarah-Jane smile, even if it was for a small amount of time. All four of them still in their wedding outfits
"Mum, are you all right?" Luke asked dropping Jenny's hand and walking to her side.
"I'm going to be fine, I've got you, haven't I? What about you Jenny? You all right?" referring both to her being thrown from the TARDIS and seeing her dad in person for the first time since she was shot.
"I am now." Jenny said honestly.
"I can't believe the Doctor ran off like that." Luke said looking at Jenny when he said that.
"Sudden disappearing acts." Sarah-Jane said
"That's him all over." Jenny added
"Sarah Jane, escalation of temporal flux." Mr. Smith informed her.
"Temporal flux escalating." K9 added as the TARDIS materialised in front of them.
"Doctor." Sarah-Jane asked
"What do you take me for, Sarah? Jenny?Just thought I'd go the quick way. Ooo, I like it in here."
"Can we have a look?" Rani asked pointing at the TARDIS
"What, in the Tardis? My Tardis!" The Doctor asked angrily. But as quick as he got angry he was calm again "Course you can, yeah." stepping to the side letting them go in ahead. So Clyde, Rani and Luke ran in leaving Jenny, Sarah-Jane and The Doctor outside.
"You haven't told them have you?" he asked Jenny.
"Nope" she said walking into the TARDIS.
"Oh…wow!" Clyde breathed, "It really is, isn't it? It's bigger on the inside?"
"It's beautiful!" Rani exclaimed, coming around to stand by Luke.
"Transcendental dimensions," Luke smiled.
The Doctor and Sarah Jane watched Four teenagers happily as they walked around and then ended up by the console.
"Oh what does this do?" Clyde asked, reaching for a button.
"Hey, don't touch," Sarah Jane scolded lightly. The kids looked down as Sarah Jane turned to the Doctor who were leaning against a Y-beam, "You came all that way...for me."
"Because you are SO important Sarah," He reached out and took the woman's hands, squeezing them, with a smile on his face, "Not only do I think that but they do to," he nodded at the Jenny and Luke.
"Trickster wanted to end your story," the Doctor smiled at her, "But it goes on," he stepped away from her. looking at Sarah Jane with pride, "The things you've done Sarah, they're pretty impressive, but oh, the things you're gonna do!" he glanced over at Luke and Jenny as the teenagers came back over.
"The future…" Luke smiled, having heard the conversation, "How 'bout we could go for a ride?"
"Or back to the dinosaurs yeah?" Clyde asked.
"Another planet?" Rani's eyes widened at the prospect.
"No way!" Sarah Jane stepped forward, "For one thing, you are grounded by the Judoon…And your parents would never forgive me," Sarah Jane said, "Go on…" the three of the four went to file out of the TARDIS but Clyde stopped them and turned to face Sarah-Jane, Jenny and The Doctor.
"Earlier I asked you how you knew Jen, she told me to wait until we were out of the time loop. Well we're out of the time loop." He said looking between the two.
"Clyde." Sarah-Jane warned knowing this was a sensitive topic.
"No Sarah-Jane its fine. Clyde … Rani … I would like you meet … meet … I would like you to meet my dad." Jenny told them pointing to the Doctor.
"What" they shouted, stepping towards them.
"He's your dad … but that means … your … he's … oh my god, my sisters an alien."
"Thanks Clyde. Love you too"
"Go on we will talk about this later." Sarah-Jane said ushering the same three as earlier out. She waited till they were out, before turning back to him, "Is this the last time I'm ever going to see you?"
He looked between the both of them. "I don't know," the Doctor said, serious. "I hope not!" he added.
Sarah Jane nodded, "Bye Doctor … until the next time."
"Don't forget me, Sarah Jane," the Doctor called after her.
She turned to look at him over her shoulder, "No one's ever going to forget you. Take your time Jen. You three are staying here tonight." She turned and left hoping they would sought their differences out.
Sarah-Jane steps out the TARDIS to see the three teenagers standing by the sofa and walks over to them.
"You were right. He is amazing. I guess we know where Jen gets it from." Clyde said wondering what his sister and the Doc- No! -Her DAD, were talking about.
"And so are we." Sarah-Jane said putting her arms around the three.
The Gang -minus Jenny- and Sarah-Jane found themselves sitting in the living room 2 hours later in their watching a comedy film in a almost successful attempt to cheer Sarah-Jane up when Jenny came downstairs also in her whilst finishing her pigtail plaits.
"Hey." Clyde said seeing her. He noticed she had been crying and moved over to make space next to him, opened his arms as a silent offer for a hug. Jenny didn't hesitate to walk over and sit down and hugging him. They hadn't done this since they were ten, about the time Jenny first moved in. She used to have bad nightmares – which she now knows are memories- about aliens and wars, they all ended in her getting shot and dyeing in a strange man's arms. She would go downstairs and sit on the sofa looking out the window. About a week after she moved in, Clyde heard her moving around and followed her downstairs. When he saw how upset she was he went over and hugged her. It became a time that they got to each other telling each other things whether it was secrets or just something they liked or did that day. They talked until Jenny started falling asleep when Clyde would help her up to bed. Until one night Clyde also fell asleep and they woke the next morning to the click of a camera. Carla asked them why they were asleep downstairs so Jenny told her how she couldn't sleep in a room by her self and what her and Clyde had been doing every night. So later that day Carla went shopping and bought bunk-beds to put in Clyde's- now Clyde's and Jenny's- room. They had shared a room ever since and to be honest cant imagine not sharing a room.
Sarah-Jane looked over and smiled. Clyde wasn't big on affection, the only time the gang saw him show it was around Jenny. Jenny nodded to the T.V in a signal that she wanted it off and so Sarah-Jane did. As soon as it was off Jenny started talking
"I wasn't born like most people. My dad was held at gun point and they took DNA from the back of his hand for aprogenation machine, it basically rearranges DNA to create a new person. The result was me. Dad hated me at first because I was made to be a soldier, and his friend had just being taken by the Hath. But he warmed up to me, slowly, but he warmed up to me. When I wass faced with the choice of killing the man that was after us or shooting a pipe above him to slow him down. I went with the pipe. But I took to long deciding and got stuck on the wrong side of laser beams. That's when he first showed signs he cared, he was so worried that they would get me. Then I did some sort of miracle thing and did a load back-flips through the beams, without touching a single one. We got through, found his friend, stopped a war. But the man who was after us didn't like it and he tried to shoot my dad,"
"How come I don't like where this is going?" Rani asked. Jenny smiled at her then continued.
" I tried to push him out the way but in doing so I stepped in the way. Got shot. Killed."
"Your nightmares." Clyde said looking down at her, still tucked in to his side,
"My nightmares." Jenny repeated," Apparently the terraforming not only gave me my life back but gave me a new one,it turned me into a 2 year old. Cline, one of the soldiers who befriended dad sent me on a space pod to earth, thinking it would be safest thing for me. I have random memories up until I was 7 where from then on I can remember everything. After the Gorgon meeting, when Sarah-Jane insisted I let Mr. Smith scan me, he mentioned something almost not right memories, thinking it happened during the time I spent as a stone she asked Mr. Smith to check, and if possible, fix it. Straight after doing it he informed Sarah-Jane of alien activity in the house, Sarah-Jane asked him to isolate it, isolating me in the progress."
"Wow! Disturbed life there little sis." Clyde laughed, which Rani to hit him on his arm.
"Wait!" Rani realised something, "Luke knew!" She said looking over at the alien boy.
"Yes … well … I might or might not of walked in on mum and Jen talking about the Doctor not long after we meet Rani." He said sheepishly.
"In other word curiosity took over and you eavesdropped on us." Sarah-Jane said. And like that a night of teasing and comedy films started.
Sarah-Jane was tiding the living from from rubbish, glasses and bowels the next morning. She couldn't stop smiling. They had fallen asleep in the living room last night and sometime during the the films Jenny had moved over to sit on the other couch with Luke, leaving Clyde and Rani on the other one, whilst Sarah-Jane had the arm chair. At the moment all four teenagers were asleep still. Luke and Jenny were lying down, Luke's arms around Jenny's waist, one of her arms was around his waist while the other one was in-between them,her hand on his chest. Grabbing her camera out of her hand bag, she snapped some pictures of two, before moving to Rani and Clyde. Clyde was sat on the end seat whilst Rani had her head on his lap. Snapping some picture of them she thought 'They might not like each other that way but they make a cute couple'. Looking over them she realised that although she might not of got married, and had children of her own, she definably had a family. And who knows maybe in 6 or so years there would be more to the family. But until then she was fine with what she had.
AN: Done, I can't decide to do all of the series but I am defiantly doing 'The Death of The Doctor". There is going to be some interesting twists in it.
