The jolt returns, this time more violently than the last. The man looks over his shoulders and looks at the woman he's with.

"Martha, stay there, I'll be right back." I hear him say. I am still in my chair, stunned. I needed some sort of conformation that this was, in fact, my brother.

"Doctor, is everything ok?" she says

Well I guess that solves that problem.

The man walks towards me, a determined look on his face. I feel myself standing as if an invisible string is pulling me up.

"Anna?"

I nod

"Doctor?"

He nods.

Suddenly, arms wrap around me. He holds me in a tight embrace as he starts to cry. I start to come out of my state of confusion and I'm crying into his jacket. Over and over, he whispers between sobs, it's been so long… so long… I thought I lost you forever…

It is a rare when you have a moment like this. A reunion with a lost companion or family member. If you have ever experienced this, then you already know how it feels. If you haven't, you cannot possibly imagine the joy that floods your entire body at the mere touch of that lost person. Minuets pass, and they feel like hours. I want to know nothing more than my brother's embrace. The old man is looking at us with a smile on his face. The mousey girl hasn't looked up from her screen. Martha looks confused. But none of it seems to matter because I have my brother once again. And I never want to let him go, ever again. We stay locked together for a long time, sobbing tears of joy into each other's shoulders. The grown, strong man my brother has become is reduced to a small child, desperately clinging to his lost teddy bear. He pulls away and cups my face in his hands. His eyes are red and his face blotchy but he is smiling all the same.

"I found you. I finally found you." He says. Tears threaten to take over but I blink them away. A voice calls out from a distance.

"What in the hell is happening?" Martha says. The Doctor puts an arm around me; his arm practically swallows my small body. We walk towards her.

"Martha, this is Anna. Anna, this is Martha." He says.

"Is she your old companion or something?" Martha says, still clearly confused by the situation.

"No, she's my sister." He says, smiling down at me. Martha blinks, her mouth wide open. I hope she doesn't swallow any flies.

"Wha- how?" she says. I giggle. He obviously hasn't told her everything about that time war.

"What? You didn't actually think he got himself off that planet? I realize he's a very resourceful man but if you knew him when I did, he was and absolute ditz!" I say. The Doctor chuckles.

"Says the girl who lost track of me!" He mumbles.

"I heard that!" I say. My cheeks hurt from smiling. Martha, still dumbfounded, is now shouting, her words forming no intelligent speech.

"Well how did- and she's- but I thought you said-and how did you know that,"

The Doctor grabs her shoulders.

"Family is the greatest, most powerful connection any life form could ever have. He says softly. Her face softens, as if he's struck a nerve. Suddenly, I'm being hugged again. This time by Martha. When she pulls away, there are tears in her eyes.

"I'm glad you found your bother" she says, her voice shaking.

There has only been one other time when I thought I had found my brother. It was about 2 years ago. He was taller then, with fairly large ears and a leather jacket. He was with a very pretty blonde girl and a tall, handsome man with short dark hair. I felt that same jolt, but I didn't act on it. I figured it was just coincidence so I let it roll off my back. And I didn't want to concern my companion, Milo. At the thought of Milo, my hearts skipped a beat. Milo had traveled with me for 5 years. He was my best friend. My best friend who died to save me. Maybe he was more than just my friend, maybe he was my true love. But I guess I'll never know.

I shoved the painful thought away and focused in on the moment. I look around on the busy streets and wonder, how many of these people know this feeling of absolute bliss?

We decided to sit down and catch up. The first words out of his mouth were typical of my big brother.

"You're a ginger! No fair! I've never gotten to be ginger!" he says.

"You haven't seen me in how long? And that's the first thing you say? You haven't changed a bit!" I say.

"So how did you two know you found each other?" Martha asks. The Doctor and I look at each other, both confused as to what to tell her. He shrugs. Sure, leave me to do the explaining.

"Well, uh, you know when you see someone that you have been wanting to talk to, or someone you haven't seen in a really long time and you get, sort of, butterflies in your stomach?" I say

"Yeah."

"Well, for a time lord, you amplify that by about 20. But it's only for certain people. People you have a real connection with. And even for a time lord the jolt is rare." I suck at explaining things.

"The jolt?" Martha looks confused again.

"That was the best word I could find to explain the sensation. So what are you doing in London?"

Change the subject. Change the subject quickly. I just made the conversation awkward. That's one thing I'm good at.

"Well, Martha here wanted to visit family and I just really like it here! Don't you like it here? I like it here." Doctor babbles on quickly.

"I love it here. I should really make it a point of coming here more often. Oh no…" my head whips around.

"What?" the doctor asks, putting one hand on the table and the other in his pocket. I'm going into panic mode. Tony is walking my way. I explain to them that I have a date with him tonight. The Doctor looks uncomfortable but Martha, for the first time, looks cool as a cucumber.

"Let me handle this." She says as Tony nears the table. He sees them and hesitates but continues on and pulls himself a seat. For some reason this aggravates me.

"Well, hello. And you would be?" Martha says

"Tony Marcus. And who might you be miss?" he says, swiping his brown hair away from his face and offering his hand.

"Martha Jones. And this is The Doctor."

"Doctor Who, may I ask?"

"Just The Doctor, but you can call me Pharaoh." The doctor says with a stony look on his face.

Well, someone isn't too happy. This is not going to end well.

"Nice to meet you, Pharaoh." Tony says with a smile.

Oh god, I can't believe he actually called him Pharaoh.

"So, you have a date with my baby sister tonight, huh?"

"Yes I do sir, and I intend to take good care of her"

"Well you better-

The Doctor cuts off. And that's when we hear it.

The screaming.
