She sat at the pine table, still in the suit. Martha's family were all asleep and it was just Martha, Jack and her left. Jack was finishing up on a phone call to his team, an Martha had just set three mugs of tea down on the table. The Doctor smiled. One thing was sure throughout her regenerations; a cup of tea with 6 sugars always brightened her day.

"I still can't believe you have that much sugar." Martha sighed, shaking her head.

"It's fun being a Time Lord sometimes, all the sugar but I still get the teeth" shrugged the Doctor, but the carefree tone she was adopting didn't mask the haunted look in her eyes. Martha and Jack shared a look as he hung up the phone.

"So what now Doc?" he asked, trying to distract her.

"Well, it should be any moment now when the TARDIS will be ready. Then it's time to go," She looked at Martha. "I understand if you want to stay behind."

But Martha didn't reply and just looked down at her tea; this new regeneration changed everything and yet nothing for her. Luckily for her the room was filed with the sounds of the TARDIS materialising. The Doctor leaped up, joy filling her eyes. As the familiar shape of the TARDIS took form, she searched her pockets for her key and scrambled towards it, knocking her chair over in the process. Jack shook his head. Looks like this new regeneration enjoyed making a mess to. But the Doctor didn't care as the TARDIS finally took form, and she ran her hands along the wood, grinning at the Saint John's Ambulance sticker on her. She inserted the key inside the lock and held her breath.

"Well Old Friend, what have you got for me this time?" she turned the key and pushed thedoor open. "Oh yes!" she cried. The interior was still as vast as before, but now the console room was filled with colour, the flood was made of glass and had stairs leading below for easier 'repairs'. She laughed, and ran towards the console. The first thing she spotted was the taps for mustard and ketchup. "Handy," she said. She grabbed the old Earth TV style scan and span it rand the console, before flicking switches and turning all of the new dials, and typing on the olden style typewriter with a flourish. "Oh, you sexy thing!" The warm glow that the lights gave off seemed to match her mood perfectly, as she span and danced around the new console. "Oh you sexy sexy thing! Jack, Martha!" She bellowed

"Yes?" asked Martha, standing by the gangplank by the doors, as if she couldn't believe her eyes. Travelling with the Doctor had always been full of surprises, but still she could be amazed by him.

"I'm going to the wardrobe. Feel free to take a gander but don't get lost. I will be back in five" and she darted off down the corridor, excitement filling her with adrenalin. Running, oh how she had missed this during the year that never was. She was so brimming with energy and felt young and fresh. Oh she was going to have some fun! As she arrived at the wardrobe room (she instantly knew where it was, as usual) she could barely contain herself. She still hadn't seen herself and could not wait to see how she looked! She ran into the room, pulling of her old suit, eager to see herself in the full length mirror in the centre of the room. As she reached it she took a moment to let her eyes focus on the image before her.

Her eyes were a bright green, and wide with excitement. Her hair she already knew was the bright orange of her most favourite shade of ginger, but still it made her gasp with delight. Her face was young, and framed by the long straight hair, tinged with a slight wildness. She knew from when she felt it before that it was heart shaped, but she had no clue just how young it would make her look, although her eyes still looked ancient. With high cheekbones she decided that she liked what she saw. She looked at the rest of the image, guessed herself at about 5 foot 5, and smiled at the subtle curves that she now owned. She was going to have so much fun with this, she thought to herself. She grinned and her whole face lit up, making her look both even younger, and even (well let's face it she thought) cuter. Clapping her hands together she span around to the choice of cloths before her. She pulled on some underwear that the TARDIS had provided in the draw before her (after a slight struggle putting on the bra. Putting one on was new for her) she delved into the rows of hangers, trying to find the perfect outfit. She pulled out costumes and corsets, dresses and skirts, before a pair of black jeans caught her eye. She grabbed a red tank and a black leather jacket, before pulling them on. She looked in the mirror again and nodded, happy with the result. This new look, made her look slightly older and...

"Sexy," a voice said behind her. She span around to see Jack and Martha smiling at her. "Although, I think putting some shoes on would help."

"Shoes? Right, yes! Shoes!" she went over to the rack, and saw her old red converse there. She felt a pang as she looked at them. She loved those shoes and didn't want to have to change them. She made herself look at the others anyway, pulling some on and off. But none of them seemed right. Finally she gave up. Pulling the red converse from the rack she tried them on. They looked perfect, and she gave up trying anything else.

"Right then, what do you think?" She smiled at the others, spinning around with a flourish. Jack and Martha laughed at her and nodded in approval. The Doctor laughed and ran out of the room, pulling them with her back the console room.
