Having finally recovered from my fatigue, and after stopping at my apartment got a few changes in clothing and my sketch book, seeing as I am probably staying with The Doctor for awhile. I found myself reading in the T.A.R.D.I.S. lounge, laying across the couch with my back propped against the arm rest. The book I was reading was strange I've haven't heard of such a story, why I was surprised was beyond me, I did after all find it in the T.A.R.D.I.S. library. I was suddenly reminded of one of my friends, and since we haven't spoken since that time. I wonder if the Doctor would mind if I asked if I could see her again. Marking my page I set it down on the sofa and walked up to the control room.

When I stepped inside I didn't see the Doctor anywhere I swayed towards the control center, walking around it and surely a few steps later I found him underneath the consol tinkering around. Deciding to make my presence known I spoke up.

" So that's what the top of your head looks like."

Apparently, the Doctor was startled by my sudden presence because he jumped and hit his head on the mesh floor above him. All I could think was 'Ouch'.

" You okay?" I sympathetically asked him as he rubbed the back of his head.

" Yeah, yeah I'm fine." He pulled himself out from under the consol.

I let my hand reach out to rub the back of his head. He flinched the moment my flanges touched his scalp.

" Oh please, really? I didn't even put that much pressure on it!"

" Yes, but it hurts."

" Oh you big baby!" The reason I came up here escaped me but I quickly recaptured it. " Oh, yea I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

" Anything Kitten."

"Well, I haven't seen this one friend since….. I can't remember. But What I'm asking is that maybe, If you'd like, which I'd like oh so much as to see her again?"

The Doctor pondered this as if he was fighting with himself if he should comply with my request or not.

" Right where does this friend live?"

" Well if she hasn't changed that much she is more than likely in Chicago, Illinois. Great, I'm going back to the country I left, only about a day ago. Then again in here I can't even tell if it's up or down."

" You leave the ups and downs for me to worry about. Now when shall we arrive?" He gave me a smile that could only be described as cunning.

…………………….

Lake Michigan stretched out as far as the eye would allow one to see. The wind swept against the "Windy City", hurdling through the sky scrapers.

The Shedd Aquarium in all its stillness did not seem to heed to the wind. A new sound though, ripped its way through the wind. A box standing full in its height appears next to the aquarium. The first to walk out, a young patriotic yankee girl, with a troubling past that remained hidden for years. Next out stepped the man that would soon bring her to terms with this and set her free.

Kitt's eyes flowed with tears from the nipping cold, she quickly wiped them away as the Doctor stood next to her, took her hand, and turned his gaze to the "lake". The always blowing wind swept his hair just so.

………………

I looked up just in time to see a fish jumped out of the water, when the Doctor asked.

" Where?"

" We should check the phone book."

" Right then."

We strolled away from the aquarium and wandered into the city. I quickly found a public phone with a phone book dangling from it on a string. I picked it up and started to flip through the pages. Scanning with my eyes through the k's and found her. Keller, Catherine. I rolled my eyes and hunched over.

" Why? Why does she have to live there?"

" What's wrong with where she lives?"

" Bensenville, that's why."

" What's wrong with Bensenville?"

" 11th of August, 2006."

The Doctor's eyes widen and his jaw dropped all he muttered with a gust of wind was….

"Oh,"
