NINA

"SISTERS?!" Joy and I both yelled.

"We are not related. No way. You're lying." Joy said, attempting to calm down.

River laughed. "Believe me, don't believe me. It's true."

"Okay. Let's say this is true. Why are we the same age? I mean, we're obviously not twins," I said.

"Well, do you want the short version or the long version?" River raised her eyebrows.

"Short," I said just as Nina was saying, "Long."

"I'll give you medium sized. I'm a timelord, meaning I can regenerate if I'm dying so you two inherited that ability. Unfortunately, something odd happened in your last regeneration and you can't remember who you were before you regenerated last. So we're going to figure this out, one way or another, and hopefully you can remember your past selves and we can go on travelling through time and space like normal," River explained.

"Theoretically, if this all is true, then wouldn't you keep us here, um, wherever here is, until you could figure it out? Why send us to Anubis House? And why can we remember all of our actual childhood?" Nina questioned, looking River straight in the eye.

"Well, we went to Anubis House because it's an old timelord haven that's been there since timelords discovered Earth. Daleks and Weeping Angels and Cybermen and basically anything besides timelords and humans can't get in. Except Ood. We like Ood." River said. "And the rest, um, we actually don't know why you think you're who you think you are."

"Not gonna pretend I get any of what you just said, and don't assume that I believe any of it, but if you're our mom, who's our dad?" Just for kicks, I wanted to know who our supposed "dad" was.

River blushed. "JACK! The kids are here!"

Just then a tall American man walked in. "Hello," he said, raising an eyebrow.

"Honey, they're our KIDS!" River cried, smacking him.

"I didn't do anything!" Jack protested.

"Right," River smirked. "Kids, meet Jack. Jack, meet the kids."

I looked around. This was absolutely ridiculous. Was this a dream? It had to be. Joy wasn't my sister, I wasn't a Time-Whatever, and these weird people weren't my parents. My parents were dead. I kind of wanted it to be true, you know, to have parents again, but then again it kind of felt like betraying them to call these people my parents.
