Author's Note: Hex does have a past and we will find out about it, but not just yet. Let's see who can guess what happened to Hex as the story goes on. She is currently definitly a little too confused to be freaking about what happened and a part of her is in denial.

Jackie just watched the poor girl as she stared into the distance while sipping her tea. The poor girl seemed so lost and Jackie felt almost protective of the girl she had never even met before. "Do you want me to call your parents or someone else?" Jackie asked quietly. The girl seemed to come out of her dazed state and look sadly at her, as if she had just realized something. "I don't have anyone" The girl said. The way she said it. Almost as if she had just realized the world had ended, broke Jackie's heart. The girl couldn't be any older than 16. That made Jackie's decision easier. "Well, if you like, you are welcome to stay here for a while. You know, until you find your own place or think of someone you could go to. You could share a room with Rose, my daughter, I'm sure she wouldn't mind" Jackie said.

The girl looked so surprised and touched by the offer when she nodded, that Jackie had this strange feeling that she could be trusted, even though she didn't even know her name. Almost, as if reading her thoughts the girl said "My name is Alexis Firestone by the way, but people just call me Hex". Hex looked at Jackie expectantly, which was when Jackie realised that she hadn't introduced herself either. "My name is Jackie. Um… not to seem rude or anything but how old are you and what happened to your parents?" Jackie asked, not sure if now was the best time to ask something like this but letting her curiosity and need for gossip outweigh the inappropriate timing.

Hex seemed to think for a moment before answering. "I'm 16 and well, My dad died when I was a baby. He got in a car accident. I lost my mother quite recently. That's why I've been living with my boyfriend until… well… " Hey trailed off. To her, she hadn't told a complete lie. After all, she really had lost her mother quite recently. She was stuck in another universe. Jackie new that she wouldn't get much more out of Hex, especially this late in the evening. "Well, Rose is over at her fried Shareen's, so you can sleep in her room tonight. How does that sound?" Jackie was trying her hardest and Hex could tell. "Good" Hex replied, giving a week smile. That was that best Hex could do for the moment. There was so much going on and she had nothing really to distract herself with, except for working out what had happened with her life.

Jackie simply nodded and lead Hex to Rose's bedroom. Secretly Hex was fangirling because she could see the Tyler apartment but a much larger part of her was wondering how she should handle the whole situation. What would she tell Rose, and inevitable, the Doctor when it came down to it? Was she going to pop off to somewhere else later? There were so many questions going around her head that she had switched to autopilot when she accepted the offered pyjamas from Jackie, washed herself up and had gotten into bed.

Jackie went to bed soon after making sure that her new houseguest was ok, and soon both women were sound asleep with questions on their minds. After all, both women had had an eventful evening. Suddenly Jackie shot upright in bed, realising what had just happened. "Wait. Have I just unofficially adopted her? What will I tell Rose?" Jackie shook her head. She would just deal with things one at a time.

Hex was awake before Jackie and before Rose was back. She got dressed in some clothes that Jackie had lent her and were a bit too big, and then went to the bathroom where she, for the first time, had a good look at herself in the mirror. The only things that really seemed to have changed were her hair, eyes and scars (or now lack thereof). Hex noticed though that the chain peeking out from under her shirt was now more gold then bronze. Confused by this, Hex pulled out the pocket watch from under her shirt to find that it seemed golden. Hex hesitated for only a second before opening the watch. Well, nothing spectacular happened so I guess I'm still not a Time Lord. That was when Hex noticed that the face of the watch seemed different. The numbers were different colours and there were two new hands on the watch which didn't seem to movie. The numbers 11 and 12 were now Tardis blue, 1 and 2 were still black, 3 and 4 seemed golden, 5 and 6 were red, 7 and 8 were green and finally 9 and 10 were grey. The two new hands were silver and gold. The silver one was pointing to the beginning of the gold section of the watch while the golden hand seemed to be pointing to the beginning of the blue section. "I wonder what that means…" Hex thought out loud. Maybe it has something to do with how I got here or why I'm here in the first place. Hex got herself presentable and then walked out of the bathroom only to find Jack in front of the door.

"Everything alright sweetheart?" Jackie asked kindly. "Yeah, just still trying to get over everything that's happened recently" Hex admitted. Jackie smiled sadly and nodded. "Yeah, I know how that feels. I lost my husband in a car accident and even though that was so many years ago I still feel it sometimes…. Well, Rose should be around soon and then I'll introduce you to her. She's really nice so I'm sure you two will get along nicely" Jackie informed Hex a she stepped into the bathroom to get ready herself. Hex only nodded and made her way to the couch in the living room.

That was something that Hex hadn't thought about. What id Rose hated her? What if the Doctor hated her? If she would be stuck here for ever then that would definitely prove difficult. Hex held onto her watch tightly as she wished that she would at least have enough knowledge on this universe to travel it without the help of someone else and that she would somehow be able to defend herself from all the dangers out there on her own. That was when it happened again, only this time Hex was aware enough to see it.

A warm golden glow spread throughout her body from the watch and suddenly her mind was filled with a brilliant golden light. All she could see was that light and as it faded, Hex suddenly found that she had all kinds of information tucked away in her mind. She suddenly knew everything about different kinds of aliens and planets. She even had information about powers she had seemingly gained as well. She now knew that she had telepathic abilities among other things. Well this could get interesting. It definitely had something to do with me wishing and my watch. Maybe I can get other stuff from it as well. So Hex held onto her watch again, closed her eyes, and wished from a pizza to appear on the table in front of her. When Hex opened her eyes though, she realized that it hadn't worked. Stupid watch can give me super powers but can't make a pizza appear.

After about an hour Jackie was ready as well and after about another hour of polite conversation Rose arrived.
