The alien-girl had noticed her first, and had come over and smiled broadly and held out her hand as if she knew what she was.

That was strange in itself, Rose was not used to having important beings introduce themselves to her, it was always the other way round, Rose would talk and ask questions the answer to which she already knew, and Rose would then leave, giving them a cliff-hanger that would last them all their lives, and sometimes all of eternity.

But the alien-girl had come over in the middle of the very crowded space-station-mall, and introduced herself in a manner that made Rose question if she knew just as much as her.

It didn't help that Bad Wolf was laying dormant, waiting to come out as usual.

"I'm Trance."

The small purple alien girl with the long scaled tail and the warm brown eyes spoke in a bubbly voice, somehow she reminded Rose of popstars from back on Earth, the days when she would watch the singers in their small clothes singing cheerful songs around 6 in the morning.

Still, Rose shook her hand and smiled back just as cheerfully, speaking in her still-there London accent.

"I'm Rose, Rose Tyler."

Trance paused "If you are Rose Tyler, then that makes me Trance, Trance Gemini!"

Rose smiled with amusement, this was the type of person the doctor needed to come with him on his journeys, somehow she had the strange urge to see what would happen if she gave a banana to the purple girl.

Though, Trance couldn't possibly be more happier than she was now; such a strange naturally happy person.

"So, what are you doing here?"

The purple girl tried to make the question sound normal, but Rose could hear the curiosity seeping out of her words, and the twinkle in her eye of mischef.

"Just shopping, taking a look around, looking for certain things."

Just as Trance tried to mask her words, Rose also masked her words, while she told the truth she wanted her tone to sound as if the items were not that important, it wouldn't do to tell her what she needed, or why she needed them at all.

Trance however, was a creature of intelligence and grace.

"Can I help?" Trance was bouncing again, she had awe on her face like a child meeting their favourite celebrity, which only made Rose more curious as to what she was.

"Well, sure, I'm looking for a piece of.." Rose paused, "…Coral, a blue-purple piece of coral with a bumpy surface and a smooth botton, like a bendy cone shape."

Trance cocked her head to the side and made a humming noise, which Rose took for thinking, suddently Trance frowned and spoke again "Uh, ha, you're looking for a piece of Tardis?" she spoke quietly, then looked close to tears, "There was a Time War."

Rose nodded and patted the purple girl on the shoulder, in sympathy. Any being that knew of the Time War had to be advanced, and many advanced beings were benevolent at heart. The purple skinned being's knowledge only made her more curious about Trance Gemini.

"A Time War…so much pain…gone…it hurt so much…." Rose noticed a blonde woman and a Nietzschean, with long black hair, which from this distance looked braided. they both noticed Trance at the same time as she; colour draining from her features, and her bubbliness having been sucked away. It was as if the girl's light, had suddenly disappeared...

The purple girl sobbed "It was pulled apart, no more...we felt it, every second..."

"Trance?" The blonde woman shook the Purple girl's arm in concern, as soon as she was near. A sudden glare was directed Rose; her lips poised to ask a question.

Trance looked up "All gone...No more Gallifrey,...it burnt...it died...and there's no more...no more keepers of the peace."

Rose shook her head defiantly "There is, there is the Doctor, he saves worlds, defends the law of Gallifrey and does a hell lot of running, and he had a daughter...Jenny...the Generated Anomaly."

Trance exhaled, "There's one in E-Space, on her twelfth regeneration, on her twelfth life, I can sense her, she's so alone, and the emptiness, no more talk, no more noise in here" she pointed to her head, then looked at the ground, "But, there will be no more, all dead, the Lords of Time are gone, no more Order only Chaos"

Rose rubbed her temples "Do you miss the talk? I can bring it back."

Only a small giggle was her answer, then she stood straight and shook her head "You can do anything, but not the noise, never the noise, it would bring only confusion."

She understood that, she could bring back the noise, but never the souls, only very clever impersonations, she would have to bring back Gallifrey, and she knew that she couldn't do that untill the Doctor had finished his task.

"Besides, the Time Line couldn't handle that," Trance reached into her pocket and pulled out the same piece of Tardis she had been searching for "Here, take it, and go, leave.." Trance looked at Rose and laughed "Just go, I expect you are in my debt?"

Rose smiled, and nodded, the Bad Wolf was awakening, "One chance, use it wisly Trance Gemini."

"I intend to. One day I'll need help to fend off the Chaos once more," The Avatar, nodded, "Thank you Bad Wolf, may you have mercy on her soul."

Rose smiled, and was well aware her eyes were going golden, the Bad Wolf was waking.

" I am Bad Wolf, we are one."

The Purple Avatar nodded, and she walked away.
