Chloe watched as her legs dangled off the bed. She was in the room that had her name on the door of it, and when she came in she just saw everything that made it perfect. It was quiet, and strange, but she loved it. It was her own world and she indulged in it. The business with the wasp-humans had been over and done with. River had shot the creature and came back just in time. The beast had died and the Doctor had promised Herbreas everything should soon return to normal. Somehow. It didn't matter to her. Nothing did because the TARDIS had made her a little bubble.

Unfortunately, that bubble had burst when the Doctor came in. She hadn't even noticed at first – she was on the verge of falling asleep. "You've found somewhere, then," he said to snap her out of her trance. Chloe's head shot up, and she greeted him. "I've never seen this room before..." He said as he jumped onto the bed to sit next to her, "That's the TARDIS for you. She likes taking care of its inhabitants."
Chloe smiled at him, then looked back at her feet.
"How did you...Come to be?" The Doctor asked.
Chloe looked at him again, a slightly amused smile on her face as she waited for clarification.
"You know, you're a Time Lord but you worked for Torchwood. How did that happen?"
"Dad said he had...grown a TARDIS. I don't know how that works but it did. Mum and dad had travelled together and that's apparently how I was...conceived."
"But how did you get in Torchwood?!"
"Getting to it!"
The Doctor chuckled, "Alright then – go on."
"It broke, and they found themselves back on Earth. Soon Mum had found out she was pregnant but they needed to work so they worked at Torchwood."
"That's very wibbly."
Chloe laughed, "Yeah!"
"Well, the TARDIS seems to like you. She always does like its inhabitants, but some more than most."
"Do you do that as well?"
"Do what?"
"Have favourites?"
"No. I don't think I do."
"Come on, not one?"
The Doctor hesitated, stuttered and pulled faces as he thought. "Maybe," he finally said.
Chloe chuckled, "Which one?"
"I suppose I was very close to Sarah Jane. Closer than I have been with others."
"How close?"
"Not as close as you're thinking!" He said, poking her.
Chloe laughed, "Why closer than others then?"
"Well, some of my friends have kissed me-"
Chloe sniggered.
"Oi!" He poked her again. "What's so funny about that?!"
"That people want to kiss you!"
"Hey! I've looked worse, you know!"
Chloe just laughed again. "OK, tell me."
"No matter how close I've been to my friends who I travelled with – once they left, I'd never see them again. Not usually. Except for Sarah Jane. There's some sort of bond between us that I can't explain. It's more than just...romance. It's something stronger than that. Of course there's River – she's my wife. But with Sarah Jane, it's something different. Do you understand that?"
"Yes. So, was she nice."
"Yes! She still is! Very nice!"
Chloe smiled at him. "Where are Jack and River?"
"I think they're still flirting," the Doctor replied, bemused. He knew he was unable to stop the flirting, and that was what irritated him. "Putting those two together is like putting Mentos in Coca Cola." He imitated an explosion, making both him and Chloe laugh. "I've never actually tried that, but, apparently, it does make some sort of reaction."
"I haven't tried it either."
They looked at each other, amusement in their eyes. They knew exactly where to go next and what to do.
