{"That's what I thought."}

The next morning, Theta had been taking care of me since my nightmare. Neither of us talked about it but he was being the perfect gentlemen about it. "Here you go." He handed me a plate of fruit as we sat in the kitchen. Grabbing me, he pulled me into his lap and looked at me, "Can you ask her?"

He muttered in my ear causing me to nod. "Beautiful, could you lock the kitchen." She locked the kitchen which allowed Theta to hum happily and pulled me closer. "I love you so much." He nuzzled his face into mine causing me to smile and wrap my arms around him. Pulling my dress up, I placed both of my legs on either side of him causing him to moan against me. Our body heat melded with one another, "Once you start, I won't be able to stop."

He grunted in my ear as he thrusted up into me. I threw my head back with a moan and pulled away, quickly pulling down my underwear; I waved it at him causing his eyes to cloud over with lust. Pulling me closer he grabbed them and put them in his front jacket pocket, "For keep sakes." He muttered as he unbuckled his pants, pulling himself out and pulling me back onto his lap. I moaned as I grabbed him and placed him inside me. Sitting down I breathed out in relief as our bodies connected again. Thrusting up into me I grabbed him tightly and moaned out, his hips jutting upwards as his arms wrapped around me.

He held me closer as we painted together, his cock filling me up as we moved. "That's it, babygirl. Cum for me." I bit down on his neck as he grunted, thrusting into again filling me up. Finally, together we both finished; panting we sat their together. "I do love you and nothing will ever change." He muttered to me causing me to happily smile and run my hand through his hair. "I love you too. My Hero."

Mickey arrives at Cardiff Central railway station and heads to the redeveloped Oval Basin. The Tardis is in front of the huge water tower, a very avante garde slab with water pouring down it. Mickey knocks on the door. Jack answers it, "Who the hell are you?" Jack asked with a huge amount of sass causing me to laugh. "What do you mean, who the hell am I? Who the hell are you?" Mickey snipped back causing Theta to roll his eyes at me.

"Captain Jack Harkness. Whatever your selling, we're not buying." Mickey rolled his eyes, "Get out of my way!"

"Don't tell me. This must be Mickey." Mickey pushed past Jack into our home, "Here comes trouble! How're you doing, Ricky boy?" Theta teased causing him to snap, "It's Mickey!" Mickey made eye contact with me, his eyes widening as he blushed when I smiled and waved at him. Theta growled under his breathe and pulled me up, pretending to need me but just wanting my attention.

I smiled at his jealousy as grabbed his hand. "Don't listen to him, he's winding you up." Rose pointed out causing Mickey to turn back to her, "You look fantastic." Rose and Mickey hug while Theta continued to mend the TARDIS.

"Aw, sweet, look at these two. How come I never get any of that?" Jack look towards Theta with a teasing look.

"Buy me a drink first."

"You're such hard work."

"But worth it."

"Did you manage to find it?" Rose interrupted them, "There you go."

Mickey hands over Rose's passport. "I can go anywhere now." She laughed and held it up, "I told you, you don't need a passport." Theta rolled his eyes, "It's all very well going to Platform One and Justicia and the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon, but what if we end up in Brazil? I might need it. You see, I'm prepared for anything." Rose shrugged out "Sounds like your staying, then. So, what're you doing in Cardiff? And who the hell's Jumping Jack Flash? And The beautiful Women? I mean, I don't mind you hanging out with big-ears up there" Theta's jaw dropped in shock as he turned in jealousy and irritation. "Oi!"

"Look in the mirror. But this guy, I don't know, he's kind of-" Mickey paused as he stared at Jack, "Handsome?" Jack smirked out. "More like cheesy." Mickey corrected, "Early twenty first Century slang. Is cheesy good or bad?" Jack asked as he turned to us but Mickey wasn't having it. "It's bad." He snipped sarcastically, "But bad means good, isn't that right?" Jack smiled.

"Are you saying I'm not handsome?" Theta asked with a frown as I laughed, "I think your handsome. Very much so." Rose's head snapped towards us as she stared at me. Her eyes flickering between us as I stared back not letting her know. Just hoping that she wouldn't get it, it wasn't time yet for her to understand. "We just stopped off. We need to refuel. The thing is, Cardiff's got this rift running through the middle of the city. It's invisible, but it's like an earthquake fault between different dimensions." I spoke, towards Mickey changing the subject. "The rift was healed back in 1869." Theta continued, "Thanks to a girl named Gwyneth, because these creatures called the Gelth, they were using the rift as a gateway but she saved the world and closed it." Rose smiled at the memory. "But closing a rift always leaves a scar, and that scar generates energy, harmless to the human race"

"But perfect for the Tardis, so just park it here for a couple of days right on top of the scar and"

"Open up the engines, soak up the radiation."

"Like filling her up with petrol and off we go!"

"Into time!"

"And space!"

"My God, have you seen yourselves? You all think you're so clever, don't you?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

"Yep!" Jack slaps Mickey.

————-

We stepped out of the TARDIS with smiles on our faces, "Should take another twenty four hours, which means we've got time to kill." Theta told everyone as Mickey looked around. "That old lady's staring." Mickey pointed out causing Jack to smirk, "Probably wondering what five people could do inside a small wooden box." Jack laughed out, "What are you captain of, the Innuendo Squad?" Jack makes a W gesture and starts to walk away.

"Wait, the Tardis, we can't just leave it. Doesn't it get noticed?" Rose asked causing Jack to frown, "Yeah, what's with the police box? Why does it look like that?" He asked causing me to smile and pat her. "It's a cloaking device." I laughed as Theta explained further. "It's called a chameleon circuit. The Tardis is meant to disguise itself wherever it lands, like if this was Ancient Rome, it'd be a statue on a plinth or something. But I landed in the 1960s, it disguised itself as a police box, and the circuit got stuck." He explained with a smile as he leaned against her. "So it copied a real thing? There actually was police boxes?" I sighed; they lived in London but they didn't know about these boxes.

"Yeah, on street corners. Phone for help before they had radios and mobiles. If they arrested someone, they could shove them inside till help came, like a little prison cell." Theta nodded out, "Why don't you just fix the circuit?" I laughed as Theta looked offended, "I like it, don't you?" I asked causing Rose to smile, "I love it."

"But that's what I meant. There's no police boxes anymore, so doesn't it get noticed?" Mickey insisted on asking, "Ricky, let me tell you something about the human race. You put a mysterious blue box slap bang in the middle of town, what do they do? Walk past it. Now, stop your nagging. Let's go and explore." I smacked Theta lightly on the back and grabbed Mickey hooking our arms together. "What's the plan?" Rose asked as they walked behind us.

"I don't know. Cardiff, early twenty first century and the wind's coming from the east. Trust me. Safest place in the universe."

——————

On a small jetty, in a restaurant. "I swear, six feet tall and with big tusks" Jack laughs out, "You're lying through your teeth!" Theta pointed at him from next to me. Rose who sat at the end of the table laughed herself, "I'd have gone bonkers! That's the word - bonkers!" We all continued to laugh, "I mean, it turns out the white things are tusks and I mean tusks! And it's woken, and it's not happy." Jack smiled at us. "How could you not know it was there?" Theta asked, "And we're standing there, fifteen of us, naked" Rose interrupted shocked, "Naked?!" She yelled out like she was the most innocent person on the planet. "And I'm like, oh, no, no, it's got nothing to do with me. And then it roars, and we are running. Oh my God, we are running! And Brakovitch falls, so I turn to him and I say-"

"I knew we should've turned left!"

"That's my line!"

"I don't believe you. I don't believe a word you say ever. That is so brilliant. Did you ever get your clothes back?"

The Doctor snatches a newspaper from the man at the next table and reads it. "No, I just picked him up went right for the ship, full throttle. Didn't stop until I hit the spacelanes. I was shaking. It was unbelievable. It freaked me out, and by the time I got fifteen light years away I realised I'm like this." I frowned as I watched him make a face and frown upset. "And I was having such a nice day." The Doctor holds up the front page of the Western Mail, with the picture the photographer took of Margaret the slitheen they had taken down before I came along. Theta had told me from start to when I came around about this regeneration since this one was the one I missed out on the most. Every other version of him including the war, I had actually been apart of, that is until we got separated by the war and well you get the rest.

——————-

"According to intelligence, the target is the last surviving member of the Slitheen family, a criminal sect from the planet Raxacoricofallapatorious, masquerading as a human being, zipped inside a skin suit. Okay, plan of attack, we assume a basic fifty seven fifty six strategy, covering all available exits on the ground floor. Doctor, Kate you go face to face. That'll designate Exit One, I'll cover Exit Two. Rose, you Exit Three. Mickey Smith, you take Exit Four. Have you got that?" Jack ordered as Theta slowly turned his head to look at him, clearly trying to one up the flirt.

"Excuse me. Who's in charge?" I slapped my hand over my mouth with a laugh.

"Sorry. Awaiting orders, sir." Jack spoke sarcastically, "Right, here's the plan." pause. "Like he said. Nice plan. Anything else?" I rolled my eyes at him,

"Present arms." They each pull out a mobile phone, I didn't have one because I would be with Theta most of the time so I didn't need one. "Ready." Theta nodded, "Ready." Rose nodded.

"Ready." Mickey.

"Ready. Speed dial?" Jack asked.

"Yup." We both nodded as Rose continued, "Ready." Mickey turned to us. "Check." Jack smiled out, "See you in hell."

Theta speaks to the young man sitting at a desk by the door. "Hello, I've come to see the Lord Mayor." The man at the desk looked us up and down with a sneer, "Have you got an appointment?"

He asked with sass. "No, just an old friend passing by. Bit of a surprise. Can't wait to see her face." Theta smiled causing me to shake my head and kiss his cheek which made him even happier while the man at the desk rolled his eyes. "Well, she's just having a cup of tea."

"Just go in there and tell her the Doctor would like to see her." I insisted with a frown causing the man to look confused, "Doctor who?" He asked causing us both to groan. "Just the Doctor. Tell her exactly that. The Doctor." Theta smiled, both of us slightly irritated. "Hang on a tick." Idris goes into the Lord Mayor's office. A tea cup smashes on the floor. Idris comes out again. "The Lord Mayor says thank you for popping by. She'd love to have a chat, but, er, she's up to her eyes in paperwork. Perhaps if you could make an appointment for next week?" He was sweating bullets as Theta smiled happily, "She's climbing out of the window, isn't she?" I asked as I looked down at my nails.

"Yes, she is."

"Slitheen heading north."

"On my way."

"Over and out."

"Oh my God."

Idris wrestles with the Doctor as Margaret climbs down a ladder.

"Leave the Mayor alone!" I push the boy over allowing Theta in the room.

Margaret reaches the bottom of the ladder and takes off her brooch. She starts to run but sees Rose coming towards her, snarls and removes her right earring. Then Jack comes running from the opposite direction. We finish with Idris and see her running in the only available direction - across the front of the building. "Margaret!" Theta yells out teasingly as he gets down the ladder as Margaret removes her other earring and puts it with the first and the brooch. The chase is on, causing me to sigh in exasperation as used my golden energy to transport me to the ground.

Holding my head as a wave of dizziness went through me, "Not doing that again in this body." I muttered before running after the group.

Catching up to them, Jack yells out as we all meet up. "Who's on Exit Four??" Jack asked out of breath, "That was Mickey!" Rose gets here, "Here I am." Mickey shouts out; tripping over trash and stumbling into the alley. "Mickey the idiot." Theta spoke as he caught up to us as well. "Oh, be fair. she's not exactly going to outrun us, is she?" Rose asked just as Margaret vanishes.

"She's got a teleport! That's cheating! Now we're never going to get her."

"Oh, the Doctor's very good at teleports." The Doctor holds up his sonic screwdriver with a smirk and Margaret reappears, running towards them. Vanish, reappear. Vanish, reappear. "I could do this all day." Theta told with a happy jump, "This is persecution. Why can't you leave me alone? What did I ever do to you?" She asked out of breath, "You tried to kill me and destroy this entire planet." Theta pointed out causing her to frown in thought. "Apart from that."

—————

"So, you're a Slitheen, you're on Earth, you're trapped. Your family get killed but you teleport out just in the nick of time. You have no means of escape. What do you do? You build a nuclear power station. But what for?" I asked her with a cock of my head. "A philanthropic gesture. I've learnt the error of my ways." I snorted back a laugh as Theta scoffed, "And it just so happens to be right on top of the rift." He stated with a raised eyebrow, "What rift would that be?" She asked pretending not to know. "A rift in space and time. If this power station went into meltdown, the entire planet would go suck boom!" He spoke making the gesture.

"This station is designed to explode the minute it reaches capacity."

"Didn't anyone notice? Isn't there someone in London checking this sort of stuff?"

"We're in Cardiff. London doesn't care. The South Wales coast could fall into the sea and they wouldn't notice. Oh. I sound like a Welshman. God help me, I've gone native."

"But why would she do that? A great big explosion, she'd only end up killing herself." Mickey asked and turned to look at us. "She's got a name, you know." Margaret glared at Mickey but he ignored her. "She's not even a she, she's a thing." Mickey pointed causing her to glare at him. "Oh, but she's clever." The Doctor pulls the middle section out of the model and turns it over to reveal electronics. "Fantastic." He looked it over as Jack came over with a interested look on his face, "Is that a tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator?" Jack asked in shock. "Couldn't have put it better myself."

"Oo, genius! You didn't build this?" Jack asked in shock causing her to shrug, "I have my hobbies. A little tinkering." She pretended causing Jack to shake his head. "No, no, no. I mean, you really didn't build this. Way beyond you." He pointed out causing her to huff while Mickey pointed at her. "I bet she stole it." He pointed to her with a accused look. "It fell into my hands." She shrugged nonchalantly, "Is it a weapon?" Rose asked causing me to shake my head.

"It's transport. You see, if the reactor blows, the rift opens. Phenomenal cosmic disaster. But this thing shrouds you in a forcefield. You have this energy bubble, so you're safe. Then you feed it coordinates, stand on top, and ride the concussion all the way out of the solar system." I explained causing Mickey to laugh, "It's a surfboard." He smiled which Jack to then smiled. "A pan-dimensional surfboard, yeah."

"And it would've worked. Id have surfed away from this dead end dump and back to civilisation." Margaret snarled with a glare, "You'd blow up a whole planet just to get a lift?" Mickey asked with a frown. "Like stepping on an anthill." She smiled darkly causing me to glare as I noticed Theta staring at a sign. "How'd you think of the name?" I frowned at her. "What, Blaidd Drwg? It's Welsh." She shrugged like it was no big deal.

"I know, but how did you think of it?" Theta asked with a frown and a thoughtful look on his face. "I chose it at random, that's all. I don't know. It just sounded good. Does it matter?" Margaret shrugged as I too frowned, that word had been woven in time throughout my life. I had seen on the streets in Gallifrey, heard it on radios and speakers. Now with Theta, it's still everywhere, "Blaidd Drwg." He muttered turning to me with wide eyes.

"What's it mean?" Rose asked, "Bad Wolf." I spoke up causing her to frown

"But I've heard that before. Bad Wolf. I've heard that lots of times." Theta nodded and walked towards me, "At home you used to tell me about it. Everywhere we go. Two words following us. Bad Wolf. Why are they following you?" He frowned cocking his head as he stared at me while Rose turned in shock.

"How can they be following you? You've just got here? I thought it was following me?" Rose insisted with a frown as everyone looked at me. "Nah, just a coincidence. Like hearing a word on the radio then hearing it all day. Never mind. Things to do. Margaret, we're going to take you home." Theta changing the subject causing Jack to frown and Rose to shoot him an annoyed look. "Hold on, isn't that the easy option, like letting her go?"

"I don't believe it! We actually get to go to Raxa. Wait a minute! Raxacor-"

"Raxacoricofallapatorius."

"Raxacorico-"

"-fallapatorius."

"Raxacoricofallapatorius. That's it! I did it!"

"They have the death penalty. The family Slitheen was tried in its absence many years ago and found guilty with no chance of appeal. According to the statutes of government, the moment I return, I am to be executed. What do you make of that, Doctor? Take me home and you take me to my death." She stared him down as he too stared her down, "Not my problem."

—————

Night has fallen as we all stand in the Tardis "This ship is impossible. It's superb. How do you get the outside around the inside?" She asked us with a wide look, "Like I'd give you the secret, yeah." Theta snipped causing me to smirk slightly as I sat on one of the railing. "I almost feel better about being defeated. I never stood a chance. This is the technology of the gods." Well Theta was my god, I'll tell you that. "Don't worship me - I'd make a very bad god. You wouldn't get a day off, for starters. Jack, how we doing, big fella?" I snorted and looked at Theta, "Your my god and I'm not complaining." I flirted causing him clear his throat and turn to Jack.

"This extrapolator's top of the range. Where did you get it?" He asked Margaret who shrugged, "Oh, I don't know. Some airlock sale?" She lied through her teeth. "Must've been a great big heist. It's stacked with power." I spoke causing her to flinch, "But we can use it for fuel?" Theta asked Jack causing him to shake his head, "It's not compatible, but it should knock off about twelve hours. We'll be ready to go by morning." Theta sighed and nodded. "Then we're stuck here overnight."

"I'm in no hurry." Margaret shrugged and sat down, "We've got a prisoner. The police box is really a police box." Rose sighed. "You're not just police, though. Since you're taking me to my death, that makes you my executioners. Each and every one of you."

"Well, you deserve it."

"You're very quick to say so. You're very quick to soak your hands in my blood, which makes you better than me, how, exactly? Long night ahead Let's see who can look me in the eye."

Rose was the first to look away, then Mickey and Jack. Theta actually kept eye contact with for a little while before he moved away to do other things but as for me; when she turned to stare at me I made sure to stare her down, my eyes dark and not full of any remorse. She wouldn't be the first alien I've had to put down as a ruler and she wouldn't be the last.

"I won't look away Margaret the slitheen because I am a ruler on my planet; you are not the first alien I have sentenced to death and you certainly won't be the last. So I will keep eye contact with you all day if makes you feel any better." Everyone turned in shock as they watched us before she finally couldn't handle my stare and turned herself.

"That's what I thought."

The Doctor watches Mickey and Rose on the scanner as Jack stepped closer,

"So, what's on?" Jack asked causing Theta to shrug, "Nothing, just." Margaret stepped up "I gather it's not always like this, having to wait. I bet you're always the first to leave, Doctor. Never mind the consequences, off you go. You butchered my family and then ran for the stars, am I right? But not this time. At last you have consequences. How does it feel?"

I glared at her causing her to flinch, "I didn't butcher them." I shook in anger, turning to Theta. "Don't answer back. That's what she wants." I snapped and shot her another glare which made her shrink back. "I didn't. What about you? You had an emergency teleport. You didn't zap them to safety, did you?" Theta spoke grabbing my hand to calm me down. "It only carries one. I had to fly without coordinates. I ended up on a skip in the Isle of Dogs. It wasn't funny."

"Sorry. It is a bit funny." Theta smiled, "Do I get a last request?" Margaret asked as she gathered everyone's attention, "Depends what it is." I spoke causing her to sigh, "I grew quite fond of my little human life. All those rituals. The brushing of the teeth, and the complicated way they cook things. There's a little restaurant just round the Bay. It became quite a favourite of mine." She smiled, I didn't trust a word she was saying. "Is that what you want, a last meal?" Theta asked, "Don't I have rights?" She asked back with a cock of her head. "Oh, like she's not going to try to escape." Jack scoffed with an eye roll. "Except I can never escape the Doctor, so where's the danger? I wonder if you could do it? To sit with a creature you're about to kill and take supper. How strong is your stomach?"

"Strong enough."

"I wonder. I've seen you fight your enemies, now dine with them."

"You won't change my mind." Theta told her in truth, "Prove it." Margaret shrugged. "There are people out there. If you slip away just for one second, they'll be in danger." I rolled my eyes at him with a scoff, "Except I've got these." Jack holds up two bangles. "You both wear one. If she moves more than ten feet away, she gets zapped by ten thousand volts."

"Margaret, would you like to come out to dinner? My treat." Theta led her out the door give me one last look. "Dinner in bondage. Works for me." And so Jack is left to carry on mending the Tardis whilst the two couples go out for their dinners. I stayed behind as well, I wasn't needed I knew Theta had it handled. Jack turned to me with a smirk causing me to raise an eyebrow, "So are you and The Doctor together?" I nodded with a smile, "And you don't want Rose to know." I nodded again causing him to nod as well. "How long?"

"We grew up together on my planet I was chosen to be a ruler, and D was my bestfriend. We were together all the time and when he went traveling he would always come home to me and even brought his other companions. They were all nice and unique in their own ways, but because I was born to rule I have certain powers given to me by time. I can vaguely see each and everyone's future, it's just a blur and only the companions. I can't see mine or D." Jack nodded along as he continued to work.

I watched him work, "Can I know mi-" "No. It would be to dangerous but I will tell you something. You and I are great friends." I teased with a smile as he laughed and shook his head. "So you can't see yours or The Doctors future but what about family?" I frowned at him, "What do you mean?" I asked as he put two wires together. "Like your future kids or something." I chocked on my spit causing him to jump an help me. "Sorry for asking." He muttered sitting back down.

"Honestly we've never talked about kids. On Gallifrey I wasn't allowed to have kids until I was Queen because it was un-royal to have it before then." He stared at me with irritation causing me to laugh, "That was my thought exactly. See, D left his first wife to be with me on their wedding night so I know he would love me even with our children but sometimes I do dream of them. I want a baby girl who would be just a sassy and adorable as her father. But I also have this fear that she would turn out mean like me. My past regenerations and even this one, have never been nice. I've grown up to be a Queen and my personality has taken a hit from it."

I babbled on as he watched me the whole time; there was a pause before he grabbed my hand an gave me a reassuring smile. "Believe me, you'll be a wonderful mother. Just because you don't take anyones shit doesn't mean that you are evil." I gave him a teary smile before pulling him into a tight hug which he returned happily.

Suddenly the TARDIS shook violently, things began going sput! Cracks open up in the plaza. Theta ran in with wide eyes, "What the hell are you doing??" He snapped as I stepped forward to defend Jack, "It just went crazy!" I yelled out causing him to nod. "It's the rift. Time and space are ripping apart. The whole city's going to disappear!" Bang! Rose runs in and sees what is happening. "It's the extrapolator. I've disconnected it but it's still feeding off the engine! It's using the Tardis. I can't stop it!"

"Never mind Cardiff, it's going to rip open the planet."

"What is it? What's happening?!"

"Oh, just little me." Margaret takes an arm out of her body suit and grabs Rose, "One wrong move and she snaps like a promise." Margaret grinned, "I might've known." Theta glared at her. "I've had you bleating all night, poor baby, now shut it. You, fly boy, put the extrapolator at my feet." Margaret tightens her grip on Rose's neck. The Doctor nods and Jack obeys, "Thank you. Just as I planned." Margaret laughed, "I thought you needed to blow up the nuclear power station." Rose frowned and winced when she tighten her grip.

"Failing that, if I were to be arrested, then anyone capable of tracking me down would have considerable technology of their own. Therefore, they would be captivated by the extrapolator. Especially a magpie mind like yours, Doctor. So the extrapolator was programmed to go to plan B. To lock onto the nearest alien power source and open the rift. And what a power source it found. I'm back on schedule, thanks to you."

"The rift's going to convulse. You'll destroy the whole planet."

"And you with it!"

Margaret stands on the extrapolator. "While I ride this board over the crest of the inferno all the way to freedom. Stand back, boys. Surf's up." The Tardis console cracks open and bright light hits Margaret. "Of course, opening the rift means you'll pull this ship apart." Theta told her, "So sue me." She smirked evilly. "It's not just any old power source. It's the Tardis. My Tardis. The best ship in the universe." Theta snapped back as she continued to smile, "It'll make wonderful scrap."

"What's that light?"

"The heart of the Tardis. This ship's alive. You've opened its soul."

"It's so bright." She winced under the light. "Look at it, Margaret." I spoke, "Beautiful." Margaret spoke as she looked into the light. "Look inside, Blon Fel Fotch. Look at the light."

Margaret relaxes and Rose gets free. Then she looks up at the Doctor, smiling. "Thank you." Margaret disappears into the light. The empty bodysuit crumples onto the extrapolator. "Don't look. Stay there. Close your eyes!" The Doctor closes the console not before a beam of light shot out at me, no one noticing. "Now, Jack, come on, shut it all down. Shut down! Rose, that panel over there, turn all the switches to the right."

I gasped and turned away as the light consumed me. There was too much going on at the moment so no one was paying attention but I had to get it under control before they did. Energy stops pouring into the sky, "Nicely done. Thank you, all." As I panted off to the side Rose walked closer to them, "What happened to Margaret?" Jack shrugged, "Must've got burnt up. Carried out her own death sentence."

"No, I don't think she's dead."

"Then where'd she go?"

"She looked into the heart of the Tardis. Even I don't know how strong that is. And the ship's telepathic, like I told you, Rose. Gets inside your head. Translates alien languages. Maybe the raw energy can translate all sorts of thoughts."

The Doctor finds a large egg with dreadlocks on the top inside the bodysuit. "Here she is." He laughed. "She's an egg?" Rose asked confused, "Regressed to her childhood." I told them as I walked closer, "She's an egg?" Jack cocked his head to the side looking confused, "She can start again. Live her life from scratch. If we take her home, give her to a different family, tell them to bring her up properly, she might be all right!" Theta laughed as Jack scoffed "Or she might be worse."

"That's her choice."

"She's an egg."

"She's an egg."

"Oh, my God. Mickey." Rose runs out of the TARDIS causing me to shoot Theta a look who shrugged, She returns to the Tardis alone. "We're all powered up. We can leave. Opening the rift filled us up with energy. We can go, if that's all right." Rose looked up at him as he waited for her, "Yeah, fine." She nodded sadly causing me to give a small smile, "How's Mickey?" I asked causing her to smile back. "He's okay. He's gone." I nodded.

"Do you want to go and find him? We'll wait." I told her causing Theta to huff slightly, he really didn't want to wait.

"No need. He deserves better." I watched her frown to herself, I think she was trying to realize something I just hope it wasn't what I think it was. "Off we go, then. Always moving on" Theta beamed away as I watched him before looking back at Rose, it would be soon now. She would start to hate me again, which I didn't mind it was just a lot of trouble for me.

I hated putting up with snobs, "Next stop, Raxacoricofallapatorius. Now you don't often get to say that." Jack laughed, snapping me out of my thoughts. "We'll just stop by and pop her in the hatchery. Margaret the Slitheen can live her life again. A second chance."

"That'd be nice."
