A new scene surrounded me and by the looks of it I was on the streets of Bensenville, but something was different. I looked around to see if the Doctor was around. After running around like mad I caught a glance of him across the street taking to some man, I began to head straight for him. As I reached him, he turned around surprised to see me. He then without saying a word pointed across the road, and there on the bus stop bench sat a lonely looking younger version of ME!

" What the flanges?"

" You mean you don't recognize this scene? This is the 11th of August 2006."

" I know what this is, but how?"

" We fell through some sort of rift in time, that somehow is in your friend Catherine's bedroom."

" So we're going see this moment in my past?"

" Yes."

" And, I'm going to see Cater die, again?"

" Yea." He said more solemnly.

And at that moment a thought occurred to me.

" But then this is my chance to fix this and prevent this from happening!" I said as I started for the road.

" Yea, wait- what? No Kitt!" And he darted after me.

I tried to run faster but unfortunately for me I was too slow and the Doctor caught up to me and held me fast before I could stop Carter from walking into the street. I kicked and I tried to yell out but I stopped myself as I saw my younger self begin to walk toward the doomed soul. Before I knew it I saw Cater fly onto the pavement and saw the horror on my distraught face. I watched helplessly as I saw how my life came undone.

When the police started to arrive the Doctor walked my newly enraged form somewhere away from the crowd where no one could hear us. I ripped my arm away from his hand. And with fire in my breath I said,

" I could've saved HIM!"

The Doctor looked surprised at my sudden anger, but responded just as angrily as I had thrown my words at him.

" You have no idea what you could've done to your own time line!"

" I don't care I just wanted my life back! I wanna go back to Catherine's NOW!"

And just as I said it I was back in Catherine's bedroom with the Doctor. Catherine was pacing in the door way and was surprised to see that my face was drowned in tears and that the Doctor almost look apologetic in a way that he knew something she just couldn't figure out. And out of his sad form he spoke,

" I wish it could've been different but I just wanted to-" and then his voice became lost.

As evening fell the Doctor found himself sitting on the couch in Catherine's living room watching the television. He thought to himself he doesn't really recall the last time he's sat down thing long and been this quiet. The only communication he's gotten from anyone are dagger like glares coming from a destroyed Kitten, this hurt him to see her suffering. Still he had to do what he had to, It would change her life completely and wasn't there a similar time like that, oh so long ago, when he had failed to stop Rose from saving her father and that's when the reapers showed up. He was fortunate to have been able to stop Kitt. A thought came across, where the hell did that rift come from? He pulled out the sonic screwdriver again, and started buzzing it around the room searching for something, or anything that could possibly be the source of the sudden rift. After a minute or two the Doctor found a surprisingly massive energy wave coming from Kitt! At this realization he hopped off the couch and rushed over to Kitt and started to wave the sonic over all over her.

One moment there was this long almost relaxing silence and the Doctor was sitting on the couch and I knew that I was mad at him, but now that I think about it, what he'd said to me when we had been in 2006 something about me that if I had stopped Carter's death would I have still met the Doctor? I run through my knowledge of science fiction and that I know from the movies that if you go into the past you could quite possibly be changing the future. So maybe I shouldn't be mad at the Doctor maybe I should be thankful that he had stopped me in time before I made a huge mistake. Just thinking about it, makes me almost sad that if I had altered what happened in my past I wouldn't have met the Doctor, he wouldn't have invited me to travel with him, I would still be here with Carter living a normal life, I wouldn't have stood on another planet in the so far off future, I wouldn't have been able to come to terms with the tragedy in my life that if altered would have never happened so I wouldn't know what I know now. I finally see that I am perfectly happy just being with the Doctor. I smiled, but only on the inside I didn't want to change my expression to fast I don't need Catherine to think that I'm bipolar, which I am not!

While all this was running through my head I had a delayed reaction to when the Doctor had suddenly appeared in my face buzzing that blue light that he had in the elevator in London.

" What the hell?"

I said as I tried to swat the blue light out of my face. The Doctor stopped the annoying buzzing noise and looked at me, it was an expression of total amazement.

" You mean you don't know?" He asked.

I shook my head.

" According to my sonic screwdriver, that rift in Catherine's room was made by, well, you!"

" What?" I asked as I squinted my eyes.

" But how? How could a simple little human create such a hole in time and space?"

He ignored me! And simple? I don't think so mister. I was holding back the urge to slap him across the face right then and there.

" The rift was made very recently Oh I would go as far to say that, that hole was made upon your arrival into Miss Catherine's apartment."

" I don't follow." Catherine chimed in.

The Doctor heaved a great sigh before continuing.

" Somehow Kitt's connection to this town has caused all of her years of repressed feelings to explode and she is very good at hiding it! This 'explosion' as we will call it caused the gap in time leading back to when Kitt's connection to Bensenville began, at the death of Carter Brown."

Catherine took all of this in.

" Is that where you guys ended up?"

I nodded. The Doctor butted in.

" Actually is when we ended up, we were still here just at a different time."

" But how is it me that opened the rift?" I asked.

"What do you not know?" He asked throwing a question back at me. I only shook my head 'no'.

Catherine let us stay the night. But the next day it was time to leave. Catherine went with the Doctor and I to the bus stop and rode on the bus with us all the way to Chicago and walked with us all the way back to the Shedd Aquarium where the T.A.R.D.I.S. still stood. As we headed over to the T.A.R.D.I.S. Catherine asked.

" What the hell is that?"

I answered. "It's the Doctor's time and space ship."

" Really? Kitt when are you going to stop shitting me?"

" I'm not! Really just ask the Doctor!"

Catherine cocked her head to face the Doctor and demanded an answer with her eyes.

" It's true." He said. "It does travel in time and space, I'm not going into detail it'll take too long and I don't feel like explaining everything!"

We stopped walking as soon as we reached T.A.R.D.I.S. I turned to Catherine and gave her a huge hug and said good-bye.

" Why are you saying good-bye? I mean I still don't believe that box does any space- time travel!"

" Oh you just stand there and watch this." I said as I stepped into the T.A.R.D.I.S. and I closed the door.

And right before Catherine's surprised eyes the T.A.R.D.I.S. dematerialized…

There was a strong silence between the Doctor and me as we drifted in the time vortex, the Doctor tried talking to me but of course being me I ignored him.

The Doctor was trying everything he could to get Kitt on his side again but no matter what he said he couldn't get her to turn her head. This frustrated him, he didn't like being ignored. He had just about enough of this and began to raise his voice.

"IT WASN'T MY FAULT! ALRIGHT STOP BLAMING ME! IF I COULD THEN I WOULD GO BACK TO SAVE HIM, BUT I CAN'T AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEA-"

The Doctor was losing it he didn't want to yell at Kitt because the moment he did he saw the look in her eyes upset him and before he knew it she walked up to him and took her hand and slapped him, hard across the face. The Doctor in complete shock took his hand held it to his face where she had slapped him. Then her expression changed it looked apologetic and she then removed his hand from his face and stood on her toes to give him a quick peck on the cheek before turning around to disappear into another room in the T.A.R.D.I.S.

I didn't know what I was thinking when I did that it was just a reflex I assume. As I wandered down the bedroom corridor to my room, out of the corner of my eye I saw three bedroom doors that I hadn't noticed before. I turned around and walked up to the first one I passed and as I faced it I reached for the door knob, the moment my hand touched it I turned it and pushed the door open and took a step inside…
