"How do I look?" Jenny asked twirling round, the skirt of her dress spinning out.
"You look fantastic" Cline said "you suit the dress"
Jenny blushed slightly, it took ages to find a dress that was simple yet dressy enough for the ball. In the end Donna dragged her out and picked something out and threw it at her. It was a dark blue off shoulder at the top but the dark blue got lighter the further down you looked at the skirt, disgustingly in Jenny's opinion there was a sash on her waist in a vibrant blue. She had her hair curled and allowed her grandmother to convince her to pierce her ears, so she was wearing simple silver studs.
"Thanks" she said "so do you"
Cline tugged at his bowtie "my foster mother has made me wear this" he mumbled
"And my whole entire family forced me into this" she said pulling at a curl "I thought Donna was going to kill me if I didn't let her do my hair"
"She's scary like that" Cline confessed remembering some of her threats when he first started to date Jenny. He held out an arm for her "would you care to dance"
"Gladly" she said slipping her arm into the crook of his and allowed him to lead her into the ballroom and onto the dance floor.
He took one hand and placed it on her hip, she rested one hand on his shoulder and their spare hands were clasped as they began to dance. From over Cline's shoulder Jenny could see her grandparents dancing happily, Tosh and Owen, Donna conned Jake into a dance, Mickey was being dragged on by her mother and Ianto and Lisa were melded together.
About three of four songs later Cline and Jenny broke apart for the dinner, both sitting at the head table with the top team. The dinner was fantastic, though Jenny couldn't see the point in having seven or so courses. Fruit, cheese, fish, soup, main, desert and so on.
Pete Tyler stood up and clinked on his glass, getting everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to have you all here" he said "once again Torchwood has done it again, we have made peace with the Siltheen family and the threat is over"
Everyone applauded.
"Yes, yes we thank our communication department for successfully making the treaty" Pete said "I would also like to thank my daughter's team, without their expertise, there would be no co-existing on this planet. Without these remarkable people we would not be working side by side, living next to each other or going to school together. I propose a toast to a peaceful world"
Everyone raised their glasses and chanted "a peaceful world" taking a sip of their champagne.
"I would also like to make a toast to my wonderful family" Pete said "my wife and our two girls Rose and Lily. And to my granddaughter Jenny. To the Tyler girls"
"To the Tyler girls" everyone else chanted.
Pete stepped towards Jenny and held his hand out "I would be honoured if my granddaughter spared me and dance"
Jenny rolled her eyes before giving him her hand, allowing him to pull her up from her seat and to lead her to the dance floor.
"I'm proud to call you my granddaughter" Pete muttered in her ear
"I am proud to call you my Gramps" she replied, giggling as he spun her round and round.
The song ended and everyone applauded. "could I have a dance with the lovely child?" an foreign accent spoke. Jenny turned to see a man…wait was it a man? Her mind was suddenly clouded, alien, probably wearing something to disguise him with.
"Certainly" Pete said "Jenny this is Mr Davros he's a high business man. Take care of my granddaughter Mr Davros"
"Don't worry I will" Mr Davros said, he barely touched Jenny, his hands just hovering where they should be, as he began the dance, "Miss Tyler, I have heard about you, how you fell from the sky and how you fitted in so quickly. I am amazed. Most Galifreyans think they're above these humans and aliens"
"Well sir I am no ordinary Galifreyan and I don't think my father was either" she said
"Where is your father? Shouldn't he be here with you and your family?" the man asked
"He is…in another world…a whole different universe. Trapped. We're looking for him"
"I never thought the Doctor, the great explorer, the Oncoming Storm would ever have a child, would ever fall for a silly human girl. I must say it makes my job easier"
The song ended, Jenny stepped away looking horrified. "who are you?" she hissed
"I'll give you a hint" he said "one…two…three"
The windows exploded and people dived down on the floor screaming in panic. And the voice that haunts Jenny's subconscious screeches.
"EXTERMINATE!"
