We have finally made it to Earth. After hoping to land on Earth 2005 for three tries, we made it. I quickly jump out of the time machine leaving no chance of randomly leaving the planet and somehow ending up elsewhere. I should feed Rocket and then find my pills, maybe make a trip to the pharmacy to restock before disappearing into time and space. I turn to Doc, watching as both him and Rose exit the time and space machine.

"How long have I been gone?" Rose questions, slowly walking backwards away from the Doctor.

"About twelve hours." he replies, leaning on the TARDIS doorway. I nod slowly retreating like Rosie.

"Oh. Right, I won't be long. I just want to see my mum." she clarifies, Doc nods understanding.

"What're you going to tell her?" he queries, smiling slightly at the thought of Jackie's reaction to Rose travelling in Time and Space.

"I don't know. I've been to the year 5 billion and only been gone, what, twelve hours?" she pauses also imagining it before laughing, "No, I'll just tell her I spent the night at Shareen's. See you later. Oh, don't you disappear." she orders before spinning on her heel and running off.

"Right I'm popping home for my cat and medication, might make a trip to the Pharmacy as well." I briefly explain, before also sprinting off.

~1~

I round the final corner before making it to my house, unlocking it quickly before slipping inside. I rush into my room calling out for my feline friend only to be met by silence. Frowning I think back, did I let him out? I can't remember. I must have otherwise he'd be here, I sigh strolling into my room rooting in my bedside table before locating the pills I need. I rattle the tube for or five contains colliding with the side. Huffing I grab a navy blue zipped hoodie from my wardrobe, slipping it over my lacy cami top before strolling down to the pharmacy.

Once I arrive, I casually slip down the once familiar aisles. Before finally making it to the counter. The familiar friendly 30 year old lady stood there, her thick rimmed glasses still too loose to the point the sat further down her nose than they were meant to. Her hair is a short blonde bob hairstyle.

"Hi Sam, how're you?" I ask politely, making small talk.

"Oh my gosh, Luna! I thought I'd never see you again, last I heard you moved or something. Where have you been for the last year?!" she excitedly rushes out, I pause slowly absorbing what she said.

"I'm sorry what?" I question slowly, watching as Sam continues to rattle on in her excited way. Last year?

"Yeah, heard you went and that's why no one was seeing you around." she explains, I nod slowly. "So where have you been for the last year, anywhere exciting."

"Um, just travelling around, nowhere too exciting. Just quiet places. Is there anyway I can get my pills?" I answer, leaning on the counter slightly. I've been gone a year, what happened to Rocket?

"Oh I'm sorry sweetie, you've been gone too long, the prescription needs to be re-checked with your GP." she explains, smiling sweetly at me. I nod before waving and practically sprinting out of the building I swear when I find the Doctor he is getting a slap.

~1~

Turns out I didn't need to slap him, Jackie had already sorted that out when she found out Doc had employed Rose as a 'companion' and that (and I quote) that it's alright Rose isn't the only one I have an other. Jackie now thinks he is some kind of predator/pedophile.

"I think it serves you right for making us arrive a year late." I comment, walking over to the Doc who was nursing his cheek. I had found them both on the roof, Rose sat on a graffiti wall. "It's a shame I missed it though, would have been funny." I add, hoisting myself up to sit on the other side of the Doctor.

"Good job no one asked what you think then isn't it." the Timelord grumble, crossing his arms across his chest.

"I can't tell her. I can't even begin." Rose starts, looking over at us. "She's never going to forgive me. And I missed a year."

"Was it good?" I question also thinking about how long we were gone, my main worry right now was Rocket. Anything could have happened to him.

"Middling." Doc answers, shrugging.

"You're so useless." Rose snips, rolling her eyes fondly.

"Well, if it's this much trouble, are you going to stay here now?" he questions, craning his neck to look at her.

"I don't know. I can't do that to her again, though." she answers, he turns to me.

"Nah I'm not staying." I answer.

"But what about your family? Friends, aren't they worried?" Rose questions, turning to me.

"No one knew I was gone, I don't have friends or family Rose. The Pharmacy thought I had moved house." I answer glaring at my hands on my lap. "And the only person I liked is fucking gone." I add, obviously frustrated.

"I'm sorry." Doc mutters, placing his hand on my knee. I smile slightly at him in acknowledgement.

"My mum slapped you!" Rose exclaims suddenly, trying to deter the conversation. I giggle at the reminder, causing Rose to smile in accomplishment.

"Nine hundred years of time and space, and I've never been slapped by someone's mother." he grumbles, rubbing his cheek once again. I giggle once again earning a glare from the grumpy Timelord. I simply nudge him with my knee in return.

"Your face." Rose continues, chuckling at the memory.

"It hurt!" he protests.

"You're so gay." Rose states, leaning back on her hands. I roll my eyes at her before sitting up straight,

"When you say nine hundred years?" I ask, leaning forwards my arm resting on the Timelords shoulder.

"That's my age." he affirms

"You're nine hundred years old." I question, my chin dropping.

"Yeah."

"Every conversation with you just goes mental. There's no one else I can talk to, other than Luna. We've seen all that stuff up there, the size of it, and we can't say a word. Aliens and spaceships and things, and the only people on planet Earth who know they exist." she exclaims, now standing.

"Well I doubt we're the only ones Rose." I add before a loud beeping horn and a loud spaceship comes flying over the estate, Doc grabs me dragging me off the wall and down to duck. The ship seems to be crashing, a trail of black smoke following the ship as it narrowly misses the Tower Bridge and Dives for the Thames. In its crash the spaceship takes out Big Ben on it's way.

"Oh, that's just not fair." Rose whines as sirens start across London. The world now knows about aliens.

~1~

Our trio sprint down the street full of parked cars, many of the drivers had left their vehicles all grumbling and complaining. We race down the road hoping to make it to the spaceship crash, although with our luck soldiers and official army vehicles were blocking the road. Deterring the pedestrians.

"It's blocked off." Doc exclaims, his head falling back in frustration. I huff, panting slightly from the short run.

"We're miles from the centre. The city must be grid locked. The whole of London must be closing down." Rose states, surveying the area.

"I know. I can't believe I'm here to see this. This is fantastic!" Doc shouts, chuckling in excitement.

"Did you know this was going to happen?" I question, turning my head to look at the alien.

"Nope." he replies shortly, still grinning.

"Do you recognise the ship?" Rose asks, staring at him hopefully.

"Nope." he repeats.

"Do you know why it crashed?" I try.

"Nope." is his now annoying response.

"Oh, I'm so glad we've got you." I snap huffing at the man.

"I bet you are. This is what I travel for, Alula. To see history happening right in front of us." he explains, practically bouncing on the spot.

"Well, let's go and see it. Never mind the traffic, we've got the Tardis." Rose states, watching the soldiers in distaste.

"Better not." Doc answers; I nod along adding,

"They've already got one spaceship in the middle of London. We don't want to shove another one on top."

"Yeah, but yours looks like a big blue box. No one's going to notice." Rose tries, disgruntled by the idea of not seeing the alien invaders.

"You'd be surprised. Emergency like this, there'll be all kinds of people watching." he states, doing a quick scan of the area before looking at us, "Trust me. The TARDIS stays where it is." he finishes taking a firm tone.

"So history's happening and we're stuck here." Rose complains.

"Yes, we are." the Doctor answers.

"We could always do what everybody else does." I start, looking at my companions, "We could watch it on TV."

Rose grins slightly nodding with my idea whilst on the other hand the Doctor looks perplexed by the idea. I chuckle slightly at his expression before grabbing his hand and directing him back to Powell Estate.

~1~

The Doctor and I sat on the main couch flicking through channels, Jackie comes strolling in with two cups of tea passing one to me and Rose. Our trio had been joined by Ru one of Jackie's friends.

"I've got no choice." Jackie exclaims, grabbing the phone from the new coffee table to call someone.

"You've broken your mother's heart. And I can bet your parents are in despair." Ru Chan says to Rose and I, her statement causes me to roll my eyes. Yeah what parents.

"I either make him feel welcome, or risk never seeing you again." Jackie continues shouting over Ru.

"I cradled her like a child." Jackie's friend continues,

"No offense Mrs Chan, but we don't care." I snap folding my arms after placing my tea on the table.

"Oi, I'm trying to listen." Doc complains, rubbing his temple.

"His current whereabouts. News is just coming in. We can go to Tom at the Embankment." the reporter states before the screen switches to a blonde man.

"They've found a body. It's unconfirmed, but I'm being told a body has been found in the wreckage. A body of non-terrestrial origins. It's being brought ashore." both the Doctor and I sit up at that. Our eyebrows shoot upwards.

Our small group slowly grows as three more people enter the small flat, the already claustrophobic sitting room getting smaller with each overlapping shout and person. I attempt to focus on the tv, suddenly the channel switches, I look down to see Tim my neighbour to be holding the controls. The doctor begins to wrestle said toddler causing me to sigh knowing there is no way Doc will win without hurting Tim.

"Tim. We need that, yes we do little man." I playfully say, pulling the small toddler onto my lap. "We can watch Blue Peter later, I promise. I'll even come round, and I'll bring some cookies. Yes I will." I continue before tickling the infant, I glance over to the Doctor to see him watching us. I smile brightly at him causing him to quickly look away, ears tinted pink. "Go on, go back to mummy." I whisper in the child ear before gently placing him on the ground.

"Albion Hospital. We still don't know whether it's alive or dead. Whitehall is denying everything." the reporter continues, without the child to keep me distracted the number of people starts to get to me, I wish I could go to the TARDIS. She's way better company. The noises of people chattering gets louder until someone drops something, the bang resonates through me dragging my mind into another vision.

A bomb falls, the shockwave causing many of us to collapse to the ground. Screaming surrounds me as another hits, closer this time. I'm thrown back by the blast, my hand landing in something wet. Looking to my left I'm met by a nightmarish sight, my hand in some poor young dead man's mouth. I scream pulling my hand back, the pale skin painted in dark almost black red. I scurry to my feet, turning quickly in hopes of seeing my commander. My plait slaps me in the face as the wind picks up, I look around hoping to see anyone from my planet. There isn't any. I stumble over a hill, my boots sinking deep into the mud hydrated with blood. My haste movements pause though as I horrifying voice calls out,

"EXTERMINATE!"

"Doc I'm going to the TARDIS." I state, not even looking back to see if he heard. I stumbled out of the room the word exterminate running through my brain, grabbing my hoodie on the way out. I had chosen black joggers, black trainers and a lacey cropped cami top. The navy hoodie was required to keep me relatively warm.

As I reach our home I then realise that Doc probably locked it and I don't have the key. After a few curses my brain catches up and remembers that she is telepathic.

"Hey T, fancy letting me in so I can get a cup of tea. And maybe a book." I whisper, pressing a hand to the magnificent door swings gently open, her golden light flooding into the rather depressing street. The TARDIS always has a homely, motherly feeling. I prefer her presence to almost anything. "Thank you darling."

I quickly enter the kitchen, happy to see a steaming cup of tea sat on the side waiting for me. "You're a star." I compliment, tilting my head to the ceiling. On my way out I press a hand to the wall in thanks. After a few steps the door to the library opens, she must have moved it closer for me. I slip inside, cradling my mug with the Andromeda galaxy on it. I walk over to the familiar desk, one that I had been spending a lot of free time at since sleep was not my friend. I have two piles at the moment, one for what I want to read and the other for things I want to re-read. I'm obviously going through the read pile first. I select the top book before walking back to the console room, tea still in hand. I lower myself onto the spinning captains chair, very content with the quiet that I finally had. Casually sipping my tea and reading the book with one hand. The serenity of the moment helped calm me down from the overwhelming number of people I just witnessed, and the vision. The vision. Flashes of searing pain in my left hand flood my brain, I wince dropping my book. God I need to take those pills, maybe not now though. Especially since the after effects aren't pretty.

My thinking is interrupted as the Doctor runs into the TARDIS, pausing when he sees me.

"What, how, huh. I locked the door." he stutters, looking between me and the door.

"Yup, and since I don't have a key, T had to be a darling and let me in." I answer, standing up and approaching the Timelord. He then surprises me by whipping his hand out, a silver key attached to a matching chain in his palm. I stare in complete shock at his, A TARDIS key? A TARDIS key!

"Oh my God, really." I ask, looking into his eyes to see any flicker of doubt. He nods, smiling at my reaction. I shriek slightly, gently taking the key before slipping it over my head. I then lunge at the man in front of me wrapping my arms around his neck. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." I rush out, excitement and gratitude flooding my body. I don't even know why I am so excited. "Anyway, what are you doing here. And where is our lovely Rosie?" I question noting that he came in alone.

"We are going to do a little hop to see our fallen alien." he answers, sprinting like a madman around the console. He occasionally points at something for me to press, pull, swing or hit. At one point he brought out the mallet, giving the console a tap which seemed to do something and we began flying straight again. Our trip this time was quick and snappy, a guess that's because we were only travelling a few miles to the left.

We both exit the spaceship, our exit slightly blocked by boxes on one of those trolley's you see used by the workers in supermarkets. The Doctor sighs, shuffling out; I follow then turn back pulling the door shut. We both sneak through the room, reaching the door which is conveniently locked. Doc pulls out his sonic screwdriver, buzzing the lock only for the device to make a rather obnoxious and loud noise. In sync both the Doctor and I hush the small device. He then continues to use it and thankfully the sonic is quieter, we are terrible at sneaking into places. As we swing the door open we're greeted by the sight of 6 or so soldiers with guns lounging around in what seemed to be a staff room.

"Fan-fucking-tastic." I drawl, sending the soldiers and awkward smile as they turn to us. The soldiers take a moment to react before all pulling their guns on us, the lights at the ends slightly blinding me. "DO me a favour and turn them down would ya, it's not like it's dark." I mutter, squinting against the light. They stand still, staring at the pair of us; Docs only response is grinning at the group of armed men. Our small gathering is interrupted by a fearful feminine scream. Doc takes this moment to sprint past them whilst shouting,

"Defence plan delta! Come on. Move! Move!"

We rush down the corridors, ormed men following. Low key feeling bad ass right now not going to lie. Our group is met by the sight of a cowering scientist. Her dark hair tied back and her face held dark rimmed glasses. She shouts out at our arrival, "It's alive."

Doc turns back to the soldiers, "Spread out. Tell the perimeter it's a lockdown." he orders. I smile slightly, damn I love it when the Doc takes control. The soldiers stand for a few minutes, looking at each other in confusion of who the new man was.

"You heard him, fucking move!" I shout, glaring at the men.

"My god. It's still alive." the woman whimpers, still on the floor. I move over to her crouching and placing an awkward hand on the frazzled woman. "I swear it was dead."

"Could've been in shock, hibernating." I suggest, this earns and approving look from my companion.

"What does it look like?" Doc questions, the scientists answer is interrupted by a scuttle and crashing of metal. "It's still here."

"I swear to God this is creepy as hell." I mutter as the Timelord proceeds to signal for a soldier to join us. He stations the man near the scientist whilst signalling for me to come with him, huffing I rise to a stand.

"You go that way I go this way." he mutters before taking slow steps forwards. I nod moving more to the right of the direction the noise came from. Another noise cause the Doctor and I to fall into a crawl. Both of us crawling around opposite sides of a table in the room, I peer around the corner met face to face with a standing, walking pig on it's hind legs. The poor things squeals loudly, running at me and knocking me. I flail due to being unbalanced from the crouch, landing on my arse. Scrambling to get up I race after the creature.

"Don't shoot." I shout as I run past, Doc following closely. We turn another corner, a group of soldiers at the end of the path, "Don't shoot. Don't fucking shoot." I yell, trying to speed up. How the hell is this little thing outrunning me. As it continues to squeal, running down the corridor a bang resonates through the base.

I gasp, sliding to the floor catching the poor creature before it could hit the floor. I frantically press a hand to its wound. "What the fuck is wrong with you?! It was scared!" I shout, holding the poor pig. I gently stroke it's forehead as the little thing dies, at least it isn't hurting anymore. I stand up practically shaking with anger. I don't understand why this animal's death is bothering me so much, I run my hands frantically through my hair whilst turning to the Doctor. He gently places a hand to my shoulder, noticing my mixed emotions of sadness, anger and raw frustration. He then pulls me into a short embrace, squeezing me tightly before taking his turn to glare at the soldier.

AN: sorry for the day delay, completely forgot to upload it.3
