A/N: I'm sorry I'm so, so sorry I haven't updated in so long it's just well I was working backstage in the school musical plus my hand was injured so no typing also in preparing for the musical there was hell week. But I'm back now and I'm going to do my best to finish this story which is why I'm going to update a long chapter today to make up for my time being gone. Also in between actual episodes there will be a random kind of fun chapter. Anyway enough of my rambling enjoy this rest of the story! Sorry I didn't update again sooner Caroline and I were talking on the phone the day I started this and we got carried away and I never finished so technically if it weren't for that this would have been done last Saturday. Also great news I got a new Doctor Who book The Dangerous Book of Monsters! Any way on with the show!

Sam's POV

The Doctor and I were now heading back to France. I knew Rose and Mickey won't listen to him about not going after that clockwork robot. It was bright and sunny in the room where we were almost no more than few minutes ago. The Doctor said "Reinette are you okay?" no one was in the room at the moment besides us. He walked up to the harp and played a few strings that's when I noticed some one walk in the room it was a young woman. I knew this still the same little girl who had been sitting on her bed scared the Doctor just didn't know it was Reinette yet. She cleared her throat and the Doctor turned around and said "Oh, Hello um I was looking for Reinette. This is still her room isn't it? I've been away not sure how long." Someone called out "Reinette are you ready to go?" the young woman said "Go to the carriage mother I will join you there." The Doctor now understood this was Reinette. She said "It is customary I think to have imaginary friends when only during ones childhood. You're both to be congratulated on your persistence." The Doctor said in shock "Reinette, well goodness how you've grown." And she walked toward us and said "And you both have appeared to not have aged a single day. That is tremendously impolite of you both." The Doctor said "Right…Yes um sorry um, um Listen it was nice to catch up but we better be off eh. Don't want you mother finding you with a strange man and girl do we?" Reinette looked at us both and said "Strange? How can either of you be a stranger to me? I've known you both since I was seven years old." The Doctor said "Yeah I suppose you have Ha we came the quick route." Reinette touched my hand and then brushed her hand on the Doctor's face and said "You both seem to be flesh and blood but at any rate this is absurd. Reason tells me you both cannot be real." The Doctor said "Oh your never one to listen to reason." A servant called out for Reinette "Mademoiselle your mother grows impatient." Reinette called out to the servant "A moment!" she turned back to us and said "So many questions so little time." She gave me hug and then kissed the Doctor right against the fire place. The servant said "Mademoiselle Poisson!" she then ran out of the room I looked at the Doctor and almost laughed he was in complete shock. The servant who must have been calling her the entire time came into the room to find her only find us. The Doctor was finally contemplating who Reinette really was he said "Poisson? Reinette Poisson? No, no, no, no, no way! Reinette Poisson! Later Madame Etoile, later still mistress of Louis the Fifteenth, Uncrowned Queen of France!" He had already run up to the servant saying this I was sure the man had no idea what the Doctor was talking about he came back grabbed my hand we were headed to the fire place he let go and started walking around a lot more just freaking out "Actress, artists, musician, dancer, courtesan, fantastic gardener." He was laughing but the servant asked us "Who the hell are you two!?" The and I were on the fire place the Doctor said "I'm the Doctor, and I just snogged Madame De Pompadour!" I said "I'm just his friend along for the ride." He hit the lever and we were heading back to the ship he was laughing I said "I think that man had no idea what you were talking about." The Doctor laughed and said "Probably not!" The Doctor and I got back and he said "Rose? Mickey? Ugh every time, every time it's rule one don't wander off I tell them I do rule one there could be anything on this ship!" I was following after him I said "You do tell them but they never listen." We rounded a corner and we stopped I had almost forgot about the horse! The Doctor said "Did you know about that?" pointing to the horse. I shrugged and said "Nope sorry." He rolled his eyes and went back to finding Rose and Mickey.

Rose's POV

Mickey had run on ahead of me but I was catching up. When I found him an eye ball was looking right him as it had extended out. Mickey said "Look at this. That's an eye in there. That's a real eye!" I could hear something beating down a small shaft I got down and touched the round nob and opened the shaft and Mickey and I looked inside and found something really awful. Mickey asked "What is that? What's that in the middle there it's wired in?" I said "It's a heart Mickey…. It's a human heart."

The Doctor's POV

Samantha and I had walking around the ship trying to find Rose and Mickey who had wandered off. The horse on the other hand was set on following us. I called out "Rose!" no answer the horse continued to follow I turned around and said "Will you stop following me I'm not your mother. And neither is Sam." Samantha snickered she was finding this hilarious I approached these white wood doors and opened them and said "So this is where you came from eh horsey?" Samantha and I walked out into a very large courtyard near a small wall. Reinette and one of her friends were laughing and walking around. We heard her say "Oh Catherine you are too wicked!" Reinette turned around and the Samantha and I ducked down behind the larger of the blocked columns to avoid being seen. Catherine her friend said "Speaking of wicked. I heard that Madam Chantelle is ill and close to death." We both popped back from the columns Reinette said "Yes, I am devastated." The smiled and Catherine said "Oh indeed you are so infrequently inconsolable. The King will there for be requiring a new mistress. You love the King of course?" Reinette said "He is the King and I love him with all my heart and I look forward to meeting him." Catherine laughed some and Reinette turned around Samantha and I ducked down again. Catherine asked "Is something wrong my dear?" we popped our heads up and looked Reinette said "Not wrong no." Catherine said as they walked away "Every woman in Paris knows your ambitions." Reinette said "Every woman in Paris shares that same ambition." And they continued to walk away.

Mean While back on the ship…

Rose's POV

Mickey said "Maybe it wasn't a real heart?" I said "Of course it was a real heart." We walked around the same hall way again that we were in earlier. Mickey asked "Is this stuff normal for you every average day?" I said "Life with the Doctor, Mickey no more average days." We walked up to a glass door and saw a beautiful room inside. Mickey said "It's France again we can see France! I said "I think we're looking through a mirror." Men began to walk into the room but they couldn't see us. Mickey said "Blimey look at this guy who does he think he is?" The Doctor and Samantha had found us Samantha said "King of France." Mickey looked at her and the Doctor I asked the Doctor "Well here's trouble what've you been up to?" The Doctor said "Oh this and that we became the imaginary friends of a future French Aristocrat, Picked a fight with a clock work man, oh and met a horse." The horse had been following them by the looks of it. Mickey asked "What's a horse doing on a spaceship?" Samantha said "Mickey, what's pre-revolutionary France doing on a space ship get a little perspective." We all looked back at the mirror. The Doctor said "See these there all over the place. Every deck there is a gateway to history. But not just any old history…hers." he pointed to a woman who had walked into the room. He continued "Time window, deliberately arranged along the life of one particular woman. A spaceship from the fifty first century stalking a woman from the eighteenth why?" I asked "Who is she?" The Doctor said "Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, known to her friends as Reinette. One of the most accomplished woman who ever lived." I asked "So she's got plans on being the Queen then?" Samantha said "No, he's already got a Queen. She's got plans on being his mistress." I said "Oh I get it…Camilla." I laughed The Doctor said "I think this is the night they met. The night of the Yew-Tree Ball. In no time flat she'll get herself established as his official mistress, with her own rooms at the palace. Even her own title Madame De Pompadour." I said "The Queen must have loved her." The Doctor said "Oh she did. They got on very well." Mickey said "The King's wife and the King's girlfriend?" Samantha said "France, different planet." That's when a clockwork robot showed up the Doctor acted fast and got the time window to open.

Sam's POV

Just great another one of those scary clockwork robots! We all came into the room The Doctor said "Hello Reinette, hasn't time flown?" Reinette said "Fire place man!" I came in following Mickey and Rose. I said "Hello Reinette." She looked at me and said "Fire place girl!" oh great sounds so familiar to the title of this episode just great! The Doctor used the fire extinguisher to freeze the robot and threw it back to Mickey. Mickey caught it and asked "What's it doing?" The Doctor said "Switching back on melting the ice." Mickey asked "And then what?" The Doctor said "Then it kills everyone in the room." It reached out and tried to grab The Doctor but he back away he said "Focuses the mind doesn't it? Who are you? Identify yourself." The Robot didn't answer The Doctor looked at Reinette and asked "Order it to answer me." Reinette asked "Why should it listen to me?" The Doctor said "It don't know, but it did when you were a child." The Doctor whispered to her "Let's see if you still got it." Reinette looked at the robot and said "Answer his question. Answer any and all questions put to you." The robot lowered its arm and said "I am repair droid seven." The Doctor asked "What happened to the ship, then? There was a lot of damage." The robot said "Ion Storm. 82% systems failure." The Doctor said "That ship hasn't moved in over a year. What's taking you so long?" The robot said "We did not have the parts." Mickey laughed and said "Always comes down to that doesn't it? The parts." The Doctor asked "What happened to the crew? Where are they?" the robot repeated "We did not have the parts." The Doctor said "There should have been 50 people on your ship. Where did they go?" the robot said it again "We did not have the parts." The Doctor was getting mad he said "50 people just don't disappear where…Oh. You didn't have the parts, so you used the crew." Mickey said "The crew?" Rose said "We found a camera with an eye in it and there was a heart wired into machinery." The Doctor said "It was just doing what it was programed to do. Repairing the ship anyway it can with whatever it could find. No one told it the crew weren't on the menu. What did you say the flight deck smelt of?" Rose hesitated and said "Someone cooking." The Doctor said "Flesh plus heat…barbeque. But what are you doing here? You've opened up Time Windows that takes colossal energy. Why come here? You could have gone to your repair yard. Instead, you come to eighteenth century France. Why?" The robot said "One more part is required." It turned its head to Reinette she was scared now I could see it in her eyes. The Doctor asked "Then why haven't you taken it yet?" The Robot said "She is incomplete." The Doctor shook his head and said "What? So, that's the plan, then? Just keep opening up more and more Time Windows? Scanning her brain checking to see if she's done yet?" Rose asked "Why her? You've got all of history to choose from. Why specifically her?" The robot said "We are the same." Reinette looked incredulously at the robot and said "We are not the same. We are in no sense the same!" the robot repeated "We are the same." She said "get out of here! Get out of here this instant!" The Doctor and I said "Reinette, no." too late the robot teleported away it was gone. The Doctor said "It's back on the ship! Rose, take Mickey and Arthur! Get after it follow it don't approach it just watch what it does!" Rose asked "Arthur?" The Doctor said "Good name for a horse." Rose said "No, you're not keeping the horse!" The Doctor said "I let you keep Mickey! Now go, go, go!" The Doctor said "Reinette, you're going to have to trust me. I need to find what they're looking for. There's only one way I can do that. Won't hurt a bit." He put his hand on her temple and began to look inside her head. Reinette said "FirePlace Man….You are inside my mind." The Doctor said "Oh dear Reinette. You've had some cowboys in here." He continued to search her mind I was worried about Rose and Mickey though I hope we get to them in time. Reinette said "You are in my memories. You walk among them." The Doctor said "If there's anything you don't want me to see just imagine a door and close it. I won't look. Ooh, actually there's a door just there. You might want to clo- ooh actually I see several." Reinette said "To walk among the memories of another living soul do you ever get used to this?" The Doctor said "I don't make a habit out of it." Reinette asked "How can you resists?" The Doctor said "What age are you?" Reinette said "So impertinent a question yet so early in the conversation. How promising." The Doctor said "No, Not my question, theirs. You're 23, and for some reason that means you're not old enough. Sorry, you might find old memories reawakening. Side effect." Reinette said "Oh, such a lonely childhood." I knew immediately Reinette never had such a childhood it was Doctor on the other hand I knew who did have a childhood such as that. The Doctor said "It'll pass. Stay with me." Reinette said "Oh, Doctor. So lonely so very, very alone." The Doctor said "What do you mean alone? You've never been alone in your life." He opened his eyes and said "When did you start calling me "Doctor"?" Reinette said "Such a lonely little boy. Lonely then and lonelier now. How can you bear it?" The Doctor stopped touching her head and backed away and asked "How did you do that?" Reinette said "A door, once opened, may be stepped through in either direction. Oh, Doctor, my lonely Doctor. Dance with me." The Doctor said "I can't." Reinette said "Dance with me." The Doctor said "This is the night you dance with the King." Reinette said Then first I shall make him jealous." The Doctor said "I can't." Reinette said "Doctor, Doctor who? It's more than just a secret isn't it?" the Doctor asked "What did you see?" Reinette said "There comes a time, Time Lord, when every lonely little boy must learn how to dance." Reinette looked at me and approached and said "The girl so far from home just wanting to get back. Traveling with Doctor with the hope that he can help you. The Lost girl…Samantha." She finally knew my name she saw more than just The Doctor's lonely childhood she saw my problem. Reinette hugged me and grabbed mine and the Doctor's hand and we left the room.

Time Skip (That's funny to me because of the whole time travel thing XD)

We were now heading back to the ship the Doctor I'd say was drunk. Well possibly but not for long or he was faking it you can never tell with him sometimes. He was making clattering sounds and slurring his singing. I admit I had a nice time with Reinette and now we are going to save Rose and Mickey. The Doctor sang "I could have danced all night and still have begged for more I could have spread my wings and done a thou- Have you met the French? My God! They know how to party!" I was hiding I didn't want to be anywhere near those robots well I could help it and in this case I can. I heard Rose say "Oh look at what the cat dragged in…The Oncoming Storm." The Doctor said "Oh, you sound just like your mother." I thought back to the time Nine got smacked in the face by Jackie Tyler, Rose's mother. I suppressed a laugh at that and what the Doctor said. Rose asked "What were you doing? Where have you been? And where is Samantha?!" The Doctor already knew but said "Well, among other things, I think I just invented The Banana Daiquiri a couple of centuries early. Do you know they've never even seen a banana before? Always take a banana to a party Rose. Bananas are good. Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, Brilliant! It's you! You're my favorite you are! You are the best! Do want to know why? cause you're so thick! You're so thick! You're Mister Thick Thickity Thick Face from ThickTown Thickannia….AND SO IS YOUR DAD! Do you know what they were scanning Reinette's brain for? Her Milometer. They want to know how old she is know why? Because this ship is 37 years old and they think when Reinette is 37 when she's "Complete" Then her brain will be compatible. Cause that's what you're missing innit, hm? Command circuit, your computer. Your ship needs a brain. And for some reason god knows why only the brain of Madame De Pompadour will do." I heard the robot say "The brain is compatible." The Doctor said "Compatible!? If you believe that, you probably believe this is a glass of wine." I looked out from where I was hiding he was no longer drunk and had dumped the contents of the glass onto the robot it stop moving. He said "Multigrid Anti-oil if it moves, it doesn't" he knocked something over and the robots all stop he unlocked Rose and Mickey from the tables and said "Alright you two that's enough lying about. Time we got the rest of the ship turned off." I came out of hiding and Rose said "Oh that's where you were." I said "Frankly, I don't really like these clockwork robots." I know Rose and Mickey could agree with me on that even The Doctor could agree. Mickey asked "Are they safe?" The Doctor said "Yeah safe and thick, way I like them. Okay all the Time Windows are controlled from here. I need to close them all down. Zeus plugs? Where are my Zeus plugs? I had them a minute ago I was using them as castanets." Rose asked "Why didn't they just open a Time Window to when she was 37?" The Doctor said "Amount of damage to these circuits, They'd do well to hit the right century. Trial and error after that. The Windows aren't closing. Why won't they close?" A sound went off it was message I knew that for the other robots in the room. Rose asked "What's that?" The Doctor said "I don't know…Incoming message?" Mickey asked "From who?" The Doctor said "Report from the field. One of them must still be out there, with Reinette. That's why I can't close the windows there's an override." The robot the Doctor poured the oil one came back up Rose gasped I backed away. The Doctor said "Well, that was a bit clever." All the other robots came back up and the Doctor said "All right. Many things about this are not good. Many things about this are not good. Message from one of your little friends? Anything interesting?" the robot said "She is complete. It begins." They all teleported away Rose asked "What's happening?" I said "One of them must have found the right Time Window and it's time to send in the troops and this time they're bringing back her head." This was not good we have to help save Reinette! I went with Rose to talk to Reinette. Rose entered first Rose said "Madame De Pompadour? Please don't scream or anything. We haven't got a lot of time." I came in and said "We've come to warn you that they will be here in five years." Reinette said "Five years?" Rose said "Sometime after your 37th birthday. I um…I can't give you an exact date. It's a bit random but they're coming. It's gonna happen. In way, for us it's already happening. I'm sorry it's hard to explain. The Doctor does this better." Reinette said "Then be exact and I will try to be attentive." I said "There isn't time." Reinette said "There are five years." I said "For you, we haven't even got five minutes." Reinette said "Then also be concise." Rose said "There's an um a-a vessel. A ship a sort of sky ship. And it's full of…well, you different bits of your life in different rooms all jumbled up. I told it's complicated. Sorry." Reinette said "There is a vessel in your world. Where the days of my life are pressed together like the chapters of a book. So that he may walk from one into the other. Without increase of age while I weary traveler, Must always take the slower path?" Rose said "he was right about you." Reinette asked "So in five years these creatures will return? What can be done?" Rose said "The Doctor says keep them talking. They're kind of programmed to respond to you now. You won't be able to stop them. But you might be able to delay them a bit." Reinette asked "Until?" I said "Until, the Doctor can get there." Reinette asked "He's coming then?" Rose said "He promises." Reinette said "But he cannot…Make his promises in person?" Rose said "He'll be there when you need him. That's the way it's got to be." Reinette said "It's the way it's always been. The monsters and The Doctor. It seems you cannot have one without the other." Rose said "Tell me about it. The thing is you weren't to supposed to have either. Those creatures are messing with history. None of this was ever supposed to happen to you." Reinette said "Supposed to happen—what does that mean? It happened child and I would not have it any other way. One may tolerate a world full of demons for the sake of an angel." Reinette had a good point that's when we heard Mickey call out "Rose? Samantha? Rose! Samantha!" We ran to Mickey down the hall he said "The Time Window where she's 37. We found it right under our noses." Reinette had followed us and Mickey had the curtain bag oh boy! I said "No, you can't go in there. The Doctor will go mad!" Reinette looked at everything in shock she said "So this is his world?" We could hear the screaming from the time window Reinette asked in fear "What was that?" Mickey said "The Time Window the Doctor fixed an audio link." Reinette asked "Those screams is that my future?" Rose said "Yeah I'm sorry." Reinette said "Then I must take the slower path." Reinette's future self could be heard she said "Are you there? Can you hear me? I need you now you promised! The clock on the mantel is broken it is time." The Reinette in front of said pretty scared "That's my voice…" Mickey said "Rose, Sam, come on we go to go." Rose spoke to Mickey he ran down the hall Rose and I stayed Rose said to Reinette "Are you okay?" Reinette said "No, I'm very afraid. But we three know. Don't we Rose and Samantha? The Doctor is worth the monsters." She walked away back through the other time window curtain. Rose and I went back. Rose asked "Found it then?" The Doctor said "They knew I was coming they blocked it off." Rose asked "I don't get it how come they got in there?" The Doctor said "They teleported you saw them. As long as the ship and the ballroom are linked their short ranged teleports will do the trick." Rose said "We'll go in the TARDIS." The Doctor said "We can't use the TARDIS. We're part of events now." Mickey asked "Can't we just smash through?" The Doctor said "Hyperplex this side plate glass the other. We'd need a truck!" Mickey said "We don't have a truck." The Doctor yelled "I know we don't have a truck!" I said "We've got to try something!" The Doctor said "No, smash the glass smash the Time Window. There'd be no way back." We could hear Reinette calm her friends and the people in the ballroom she is a powerful woman of history that's for certain. The Doctor decided to use Arthur the horse for help and he rode the horse through the time window. Why I went with him I'll never figure that one out The Doctor and I got off the horse The Doctor said "Madame De Pompadour, you look younger every day." I said "Hello again Reinette." Reinette smiled at us both the King of France said "What the hell is going on?" Reinette said "Oh, this is my lover The King of France." The Doctor said "Yeah? Well I'm the Lord of Time." The Doctor got out his Sonic Screwdriver and approached the main clockwork bot near Reinette and said "And I'm here to fix the clock." He pulled the wig and mask off of the robot. Everyone gasped in surprise The Doctor said "Forget it, it's over." The robot had raised its cutting tool The Doctor continued and said "For you and for us." we looked at the smashed Time Window he said "Talk about seven years bad luck. Try 3,000." The robot tried to teleport back I said "The link with the ship is broken. No way back." The Doctor said "You don't have the parts. How many ticks left in that clockwork heart, huh? A day? An hour? It's over. Accept that. I'm not winding you up." The clockwork bot began to stop ticking as did all the others. The Doctor went to help Reinette up he asked "You alright?" she nodded and asked "What's happen to them?" I said "They've stopped. They have no purpose now." Later The Doctor and I were looking out a window up at the sky Reinette walked up and asked him "You know all of their names don't you? I saw that in your mind the name of every star." The Doctor said "What's in a name? Names are just titles. Titles don't tell you anything." Reinette said "Like "The Doctor"" The Doctor said "Like Madame De Pompadour." She laughs and says "I have often wished to see those stars a little closer. Just as you have" The Doctor says "I think from time to time." Reinette says "In saving me. You both trapped yourselves here. Did you know that would happen?" The Doctor and I exchanged a look and I said "Mm pretty much." Reinette said "Yet still you came." The Doctor said "Yeah I did, didn't I? Catch me doing that again." Reinette said to him "There were many doors between my world and yours. Can you not use one of the others?" The Doctor said "When the mirror broke, the shock would have severed all links with the ship. There'll be a few more…broken mirrors and torn tapestries I'm afraid. Where ever there was a Time Window. I'll—I'll pay for any damage. That's a thought I'm going to need money. Always being a bit vague about money. Where do you get money?" She said "So, here you are…My lonely angel, stuck on the slow path with me. The Lost Girl stuck as well still in another world entirely." The Doctor said "Yep, slow path. Here's to the slow path." They did a cheers and Reinette said "It's a pity…I think I would've enjoyed the slow path." The Doctor said "Well I'm not going anywhere." I said "I'm not either." She said "Oh aren't you?" she said to him "Take my hand." They began to walk away I followed we went to her room and there stood a fire place Reinette said "It's not a copy. It's the original. I had it moved here and was exact in every detail." The Doctor said "The Fire Place." He let go of her hand and started walking towards it. He said "The fire place from your bedroom. When did you do this?" she said "Many years ago… In the hope, that a door once opened, may someday open again. One never quite knows when one needs one's Doctor. It appears undamaged. Do you think it will still work?" We were all by the fire place now he said "You broke the bond with the ship when you moved it. Which means it was offline when the mirror broke. That's what saved it. But…The link is basically physical and it's still physically here." We both walked up and looked at it he continued "It might just mean…If we're lucky. If we're very, very, very, very, very lucky…AHA!" Reinette asked "What?" The Doctor got out his Sonic and said "Loose connection; need to get a man in. Wish us luck." We turned the fire place but Reinette said "No…" we had arrived at the ship. We got down and The Doctor said through the fire place "Madame De Pompadour? Still want to see those stars?" She said "More than anything." He said "Give me two minutes pack a bag." She asked "Am I going somewhere?" He said "Go to the window pick a star, any star." We all ran off. We found Rose and Mickey she hugged the Doctor and he asked "How long did you wait?" she said "Five and half hours." He said "Great! Always wait five and a half hours." Mickey asked "Where've you two been?" The Doctor said "Explain later. Into the TARDIS be with you in a sec." I stayed behind with Rose and Mickey I knew what was going to happen and I wouldn't like it.

The Doctor's POV

I arrived back in Reinette's room and called out for her but she didn't answer. The room was dark it was night time outside. I walked out of the room down the hall and said "Reinette! Oh hello." The king said "You just missed her. She'll be in Paris by 6:00." He was staring out a window. I said "Ah." The king turned and looked at me and said "Good lord…She was right. She said you never looked a day older. So many years since I saw you last, but not a day of it on your face." He was surprised he walked over to a table and grabbed an envelope and said "She spoke of many times often wished you'd visit again. You know how woman are." He handed me the envelope. He walked back to the window and said "There she goes…Leaving Versailles for the last time. Only 43 when she died. Too young…too young. Illness took her in the end. She always did work too hard. What does she say?" I looked out the window as she was carried away. I put the letter in my coat and he said "Of course…quite right." I walked away and left him in morning. I went back to the fire place and back to the TARDIS. I figured Samantha knew about this but probably wanted to tell me but knew better then to speak of the future. I walked slowly into the TARDIS. Rose asked "Why her? Why did they think they could repair the ship with the head of Madame De Pompadour?" I said "We'll probably never know. There was massive damage in the computer memory banks. Probably got confused. The TARDIS can close down the Time Windows. Now the droids are gone. Should stop it causing any more trouble." Rose asked "You alright?" I said "I'm always alright." I smiled and flipped a few switches. Mickey said "Come one Rose, I think it's time you showed me around the rest of this place." When they left I pulled out the letter and read it "My dear Doctor. The path has never seemed more slow, and yet I fear I'm nearing its end. Reason tells me that you and I are unlikely to meet again, but I think I shall not listen to reason. I have seen the world inside your head and know that all things are possible. Hurry, though, my love. My days grow shorter and I am very weak. Please promise me one thing help The Lost Girl find her way home she believes in you I see it in her eyes. Godspeed my Lonely Angel." I put the letter back in my coat and turned off the last time window the fire place. I started the TARDIS and we left the ship.

Sam's POV

I wanted to tell him I really did but I knew better then to reveal the future. Reinette became my friend as I did hers I'd never lost a good friend before like Reinette. She may have been from history but she was none the less my friend. I knew deep in my heart I would never forget that Girl in the Fire Place. With the clockwork droids behind us I knew something way more scary was coming soon…..The Cyber Men!
