Legend-wait-for-it-Dary: Oh! It's September so Siren will be updated at the end of the week! Promise!.
Me: this is the safe part of the totally M rated chapter that would have gone here.
Tory: This is rated T NOT M!
Timmy: the M rated section is going up in its own story so that anyone who wants to read it can while those who can't read it due to their age can ignore it until they are old enough to read it!

Jordan laughed as she watched Tory darting around her bedroom, the chaos of the room and floor-drobe reflecting Tory's stressed out state of mind.
"You really ought to clean this place one day." Jordan muttered as she stepped over a dress and moved to sit on the bed, the only clear spot in the room.
"Later." Tory waved a hand at Jordan without turning as she held one dress in each hand and looked them over.
"Go with the silver." Jordan suggested as she laid her head back on the pillows.
Tory made an agreeing noise, tossed the unwanted dress onto the floor to tidy later and draped the silver over her rocking chair as she turned to the chest of draws and started rummaging.
Jordan sighed, Tory could be at that for hours! This regeneration had an obsession with shiny jewellery, Jordan found it hilarious that all she had to do to get Tory to agree to something was offer to buy her a new trinket, but at moments like this is was more annoying than amusing.
Jordan turned her head to the side and smiled as she caught sight of the pictures Tory had standing on her bedside table; the first was one of Tory in her first body before she went to Egypt and Jordan, arms around each other, laughing at something, they looked so happy; Jordan moved on, she still mourned for her lost best friend even though she knew that Tory was technically the same person, the next picture was of Tory's first body but this time she was with a man, her adoptive cousin, Rory Williams, Jordan grinned as she remembered the girl that Rory had being infatuated with and some of the stupid schemes Tory and Rory had tried to use to get Rory and…what was her name….Amy together.
Tory was still in contact with Rory over e-mail, her voice having changed to much to risk a phone call, but both Tory and Jordan were pushing U.N.I.T. to give Rory clearance so she could tell him the truth about what she was; Rory was the only member of their shared family that Tory actually liked after all, and lying to him just felt wrong!
Jordan turned back to Tory just as she used her Meridian Particles to pull up the zipper on the back of the dress.
The dress was a simple plain solid silver colour, apart from the black thread that moved over it in a swirling pattern, that fell to just above Tory's knees and had a single strap over her right shoulder. Jordan had bought it as a Christmas present.
"Told you you'd need it!" Jordan gloated as Tory spun on the spot, testing out the dress.
"Shut up." Tory responded without any real heat.
"Pull on those black heals with the ribbon and Mickey's anklet." Jordan instructed as Tory seem to grind to a stop.
"Right." She muttered as she did as she was told.
"What time is Prince Charming getting here anyway?" Jordan questioned as she sat back up.
"Eight." Tory answered as she fixed the anklet, "Done!" she announced triumphantly.
"It's eight now." Jordan pointed out with a grin just as the sound of the TARDIS materialising rang through the house. The two females grinned at each other before Jordan stood and followed Tory into the living room.
The TARDIS had just become solid when the two entered the room and waited, one impatiently the other in amusement, for the door to open.
Mickey walked out first, several DVD cases in his hands, and grinned at the two women.
"Rose is just getting the popcorn." He explained as he placed the DVD's down beside the T.V. and faced them again.
"What're we watching?" Jordan questioned as she moved towards the pile of DVD's.
"Harry Potter," Mickey grinned, "one to eight."
"I almost don't wanna leave now!" Tory pouted dramatically. Jordan laughed before realising something.
"Eight? I thought there were only going to be seven books."
"Yeah," Mickey sat down on the sofa, "they split the last one into two parts."
"Ah." Jordan sat down in her chair, pulling the cases towards her so she could look over the pictures and read the backs.
"Won't it spoil it?" Tory asked as she sat down on the arm of Jordan's chair, her eyes fixed on the TARDIS doors.
"Huh?"
"You know," Tory explained, "watching the movies before reading the books."
Jordan and Mickey shared a look before letting out a simultaneous,
"Nah." With matching shrugs.
"To each their own." Tory muttered as the TARDIS door opened again. Rose stepped out her arms wrapped around a giant bowl of popcorn.
"He's waiting inside." Rose smiled at Tory as the woman jumped to her feet and moved passed her to get to the TARDIS door.
"Thanks Rose."
"Have fun!" Jordan called distractedly as she placed the first movie in the DVD player.
Tory rolled her eyes and pushed open the door; time for her second date.

Tory closed the TARDIS door behind her and grinned up at the Doctor where he was waiting beside the console. He beamed down at her before flinging the switch he'd been holding and setting them off.
"Where are we going?" Tory laughed as the TARDIS bounced around the Time Vortex.
"It's a surprise!" he winked over the console at her before pulling out a hammer and whacking it, "Behave!" he scolded.
"Hitting her doesn't help." Tory pointed out as the TARDIS lurched to the left. The Doctor didn't hear as he slammed the hammer down again. Tory rolled her eyes and walked around the console, flicking on the blue stabilisers as she went. "Better now?" she teased as the Doctor had stopped his hitting with the hammer handing beside his head ready to be brought down again.
"Much." He agreed dropping the hammer onto the console and using his now free hand to grab her around the waist and pull her to him. Tory relaxed in his arms as the Doctor breathed in the scent of her hair. She made a content sounding noise and reached up to place a soft kiss on his neck.
"Are we there yet?" she asked, her breath going along his neck making him gulp.
"Yeah." He answered just as the TARDIS touched down, "Yeah we are." He let go of her and stepped away before offering his hand. Tory took it with a grin.
"So where is here?" she asked as they walked towards the doors.
"Tory Williams," he grinned as he opened the double doors and heard Tory gasp, "Welcome to Paris."

Tory just stared, speechless, the only reason the Doctor knew he had done well was the amazed look on her face.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
"Oh Doctor," she grabbed his hand, "I love it." He grinned down at her, "Come on!" she pulled him out of the TARDIS and into the night.
They had arrived in a park called: Square Brignole Galliera, the Doctor lead Tory down the Avenue de New York which was were Tory caught her first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. Tory had kissed the Doctor then and there when she realised just what the Doctor had brought her there to see. They crossed the river on the Pont d'lena bridge right in front of the tower and finally took a seat on the grass nearby on the Doctor's trench coat.
"Only thing missing now is a picnic." Tory teased. The Doctor smirked at her before reaching into one of his jacket pockets and pulling out a full sized picnic basket. Tory just stared at him as he placed it on the grass and pulled out two glasses and a bottle of wine. "Bigger on the inside?" she questioned, gesturing at his pockets. He just smirked again without answering. "Git." she muttered without any real heat.
The Doctor grinned as she held out her glass and let him fill it. Tory swirled the red liquid as she watched him unload the rest of the food. They sat and watched the sun set over the Paris skyline, feeding each other the nibbles the Doctor had brought instead of proper food, Tory laughed as he cried out happily: "Nibbles! I love nibbles!"
They walked back to the TARDIS wrapped up in each other's arms, sharing the occasional kiss along the way.

When Tory woke up the next morning it was to the Doctor kissing up and down the back of her neck, one hand playing with her hair and the other tracing shapes and letters on the bear skin off her hip. She felt the Doctor smile against her neck as he realised that she was awake and rolled over to face him.
"Hello." She smiled at him earning a beaming grin in return.
"Good morning." He kissed her once before pulling back and just laying still so they could look at each other.
When they did finally get up they recovered their clothes from wherever they had been thrown the night before and piloted the TARDIS back to the flat. They landed in Tory's bedroom and stuck their heads out to see if the humans were up and about; all three of them were asleep while one of the Potter movies played in the background.
Tory shrugged before taking her dress and shoes off again and pulling on the large shirt she wore to bed. The Doctor removed everything except his boxers and the two lay down in her bed arms around each other to catch up on the sleep they had missed the night before.

Tory and Jordan waved goodbye to the dematerialising TARDIS. Tory rubbed at the spot between her hearts as it throbbed.

The Yoshinator: Why did you make Tory stay behind? I like how original it is, but why?
Me: What do you mean? Do you mean why doesn't she travel with the Doctor all the time or why did she stay with Reinette?
Timmy: *walks into room* Tory is still hiding from us…..
Legend-wait-for-it-Dary: *follows Timmy* I have good news! The Skittles and Nutella you left have gone and Tory's the only one who eats both of those together!
Me: good! Anyway, I'll have a shot at answering your question. Tory stayed with Reinette because she saw her as a sort of daughter/younger sister after meeting her for the first time as a child. While Tory stayed with her they became friends so Tory stayed longer. And Tory doesn't stay with the Doctor permanently yet because I don't want to take away from the Doctor and the companion relationship. Tory will travel with the Doctor on the TARDIS without leaving in her next regeneration though so it's all good.
