The group had taken refuge in one of the classrooms and were sitting back against the desks while they caught their breath.

The Doctor leaned back against the front desk and had his head tilted back in thought. Suddenly, he snapped his head up and said, "It's the oil!"

Everyone looked at him confused as Lucy gave a small smile at his realisation.

"Krillitane lifeforms can't handle the oil. That's it!" he exclaimed as he stood up and started pacing in thought, "They've changed their own physiology so much even their own oil's toxic to them."

He looked over at Lucy for confirmation. She gave a slight nod and smiled, as an idea started forming in the Doctor's mind.

"How much oil was there in the kitchens?" the Doctor asked Rose.

"Barrels of it," she said she she came to stand next to the Doctor.

Just then, scretching came from behind the door as the Krillitanes started clawing at it, trying to force it open.

"Okay we need to get to the kitchen," the Doctor said, before he turned to Mickey, "Mickey?"

"What now, hold the coats?" Mickey exclaimed in annoyance.

"Get the children unplugged and out of the school," the Doctor ordered, surprising Mickey by the important task he'd given him.

"Now. Bats, Bats, Bats. How do we fight Bats?" The Doctor mumbled as he scrunched up his face in thought.

Lucy turned and smiled at the school boy in their group and encouraged, "Kenny?"

Kenny's eyes widened in realisation and he ran to the fire alarm on the wall and pulled it.

The Doctor looked up in surprise before he looked over at Kenny and laughed. He ran to the door and pushed it open to see the Krillitanes all clutching their heads in pain and staggering around.

Bats and their sensitive ears, Lucy thought as they ran past the lurching forms.

They had run down another corridor when they heard the alarm stop and pushed themselves to go faster. Lucy was just thinking about how much running there was when K9 popped around a corner and gave her fright.

"K9!" Lucy exclaimed, half in fright and half in relief.

The Doctor paused and turned around before he beamed as he saw his metal companion.

"Good boy! Come on!" the Doctor said as he patted K9's head before he took Lucy's hand and pulled her off down the corridor towards the others.

They caught up to the others just as they reached the kitchens. Rose led the way over to the barrels and the Doctor tried sonicing them open.

"They've been deadlock sealed," the Doctor said as he soniced the barrels, "Finch must've done it. I can't open them!"

He ran to check another barrel just before K9 said, "They would not withstand a direct hit from my laser, but my batteries are failing."

"Right," the Doctor said quietly before he turned to the group and ordered, "The rest of you out the back door. K9 stay with me."

Sarah Jane, Rose and Kenny made for the door at the back of the kitchens but Lucy paused. She knew K9 had to stay but she didn't want to leave the Doctor.

He turned to her and said gently, "You too Lucy."

She opened her mouth to protest, but shut it again at the look he gave her. She sighed before she turned to K9 and gave him a quick pat on the head before she ran after the others.

She burst out the door and Rose immediately Rose asked, "Where's the Doctor?"

"He's coming," Lucy replied, not wanting to give away what he doing inside.

After another minute, the Doctor ran out of the door and locked it.

Sarah Jane looked around quickly before she asked, "Where's K9?

Lucy looked at her sadly as the Doctor avoided the question, "We need to run."

"Where is he?" Sarah Jane tried again, "What have you done!"

The Doctor grabbed her and pulled her away from the building. She fought him for a moment before she started running like he instructed. He took her hand in one of his and Lucy's in the other as they ran as far away as they could from the school. They arrived at the front of the school just as Mickey did with all the students from inside. Lucy exhaled in relief at seeing the kids safe, even though already knew they would've been fine.

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion as the krillitanes in the kitchen exploded, taking half the school with them. The kids started cheering as they saw their destroyed school. Rose jumped up and down and Mickey got a hug from some school students while Lucy, Sarah Jane and the Doctor looked dejectedly at the school, thinking of their lost friend.

Lucy looked over at Kenny talking to one of the students before they shouted, "Kenny blew up the school! It was Kenny!"

They all cheered louder before they started chanting, "Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!"

Lucy smiled before she turned back to Sarah Jane who was staring blankly ahead.

"I'm sorry," the Doctor said quietly, unsure how to comfort the woman.

"It's alright. He was just a daft metal dog. It's fine, really," she replied, not sounding fine at all.

Lucy enveloped her in a tight hug and Sarah Jane clung to her as she started to cry.

…

The Doctor, Rose, Mickey and Lucy had gone back inside the destroyed school to fetch the Tardis. The Doctor left for a moment before he returned with something wrapped up in his coat, but before anyone could ask him what was in the bundle, he rushed out of the console room and disappeared into the Tardis.

Lucy didn't notice though as she stared with wide eyes at the room before her. She took in the coral like support beams holding up the ceiling, the 'round things' all over the walls, the metal grating underneath her feet, until her gaze finally settled upon the console itself. She slowly made her way towards it before she reached out a hand and gently stroked one of the panels. She felt the Tardis hum a welcome in her mind and Lucy smiled. She looked up at the ceiling and whispered, "Hello. It's so very nice to meet you."

The Tardis hummed back, making Lucy grin.

After a moment, Rose piped up, having not noticed Lucy's bewilderment, and asked, "Do you know what he was carrying?"

Lucy smiled lightly as she thought of the gift the Doctor left Sarah Jane on the show, before she answered evasively, "A gift for Sarah Jane,"

Rose frowned slightly before she smiled again and said, "I'm going to freshed up a bit," and started for the door to the hallway.

"Wait!" Lucy yelled quickly upon realising something.

Rose stopped and turned around before she asked confused, "What is it?"

Lucy fidgeted nervously before she said slowly, "I've never really been in the Tardis before…"

Rose's mouth fell open in shock.

"You mean, you've never been in the Tardis before?" she asked still shocked.

Lucy smiled sheepishly and shook her head, "I mean i've seen it in the show, but it never showed more than the console room…"

"Well!" Rose replied, having gotten over her initial shock, "I'll just have to give you a tour then!"

She ran over the where Lucy was standing and linked her arm through her's before pulling her in the direction of the door.

"Welcome to the Tardis!"

…

Rose had taken her on an extensive tour of Tardis. They had seen the pool, the infamous wardrobe, a room filled with odd alien trinkets, the library(Lucy's favourite), and were now standing outside a wooden door with 'Lucy' written in cursive in the centre of it. Lucy stared at the door unmoving for a long time, just taking it in.

I have my own room on the Tardis… Lucy thought.

Rose could see that this was a big moment for Lucy and quietly said, "I'll leave you to your room. The console room is the third door on the right down this way. Come out when you're ready."

Lucy nodded absentmindedly before Rose gave her arm a squeeze and walked away.

Lucy stared at the door for a moment longer before she grasped the gold handle and opened the door.

She gasped as she stepped into her room and gazed around at it. It had a soft grey carpet and deep blue walls. The back wall was made up entirely of a bookcase which had a cut out in the middle where a large double bed sat. Like the walls, the bed was covered in various shades of blue and had a mountain of cushions piled on it. In one corner on the room next to the bookcase, there was a huge armchair that looked perfect for reading. The wall beside it was strung with fairy lights and they gave off a soft glow. Further along the wall, there was an L-shaped desk tucked into the corner with various colour pencils, markers and paint brushes strewn around and sitting in little pots. She walked over to it and opened on of the draws to find her favourite paints all stored away neatly. In the next draw, there was a mountain of drawing paper and when she closed the draw, she noticed a thin storage compartment attached to the side of the desk housing larger pieces of drawing paper. Lucy smiled as she looked around the room again. This was her dream room. She couldn't have imagined it better herself.

Lucy was interrupted from her thoughts but someone saying, "So you found your room then?"

She turned to find the Doctor leaning against the door frame and smiling at her.

"It's perfect," she replied, unable to wipe the grin off her face.

The Doctor chuckled before he said, "I wanted to give you the tour myself, but it seems Rose beat me to it."

Lucy smiled sheepishly before she frowned and said, "How did you know I hadn't been in the Tardis before?"

"Easy," the Doctor said, "When we came in you looked around the place like you'd never seen it before,"

"But, ran out of the console room as soon as we got here?" Lucy said confused.

"I saw you out of the corner of my eye," He smiled.

Lucy blushed lightly before she said, "Well, she's beautiful."

The Tardis hummed in appreciation and they both chuckled.

"We should get back. I have something I need to do before we can leave," the Doctor said after a moment.

Lucy nodded, and after taking one last look around the room, she shut the door and they walked back to the console room.

…

The Doctor had moved the Tardis so we were in a park. He stepped out briefly before he came back inside with Sarah Jane.

Sarah walked up to the console and looked around the place in wonder, much like I had done earlier.

"You've redecorated."

"Do you like it?" the Doctor asked as Mickey, Rose and Lucy came to stand where Sarah Jane and the Doctor were.

"Oh, yeah. I do," she said as she looked around, "I preferred it as it was, but it'll do," she smiled.

"I love it," Rose added as she leaned back in the railing.

"Hey you. What's 47 times 369?" Sarah Jane asked.

"No idea," Rose replied happily, "It's gone now, the oil's faded."

"Still clever though. More than a match for him, I think," she said as she gestured to the Doctor.

Rose smiled before she said warmly, "You and me both."

Lucy nudged the Doctor and nodded her head in Sarah Jane's direction before he said, "Umm. We're about to head off. But, you could come with us,"

The Doctor smiled in invitation before it slowly dropped as Sarah Jane shook her head and admitted, "I can't do this anymore,"

"Beside! I've got a much bigger adventure waiting ahead. It's time I stopped waiting for you and found a life of my own."

The Doctor, Rose and Lucy smiled sadly before Mickey piped up after a moment, "Can I come?"

Sarah Jane looked at him confused before he clarified, "Not with you. With you," Mickey pointed at the Doctor.

"Coz I'm not just the tin dog. And I want to see what's out there," Mickey finished as the Doctor looked curiously at him.

"Oh, come on Doctor. Sarah Jane Smith, Mickey Smith. You need a Smith on board!" Sarah Jane tried.

He paused for a moment before he agreed, "Okay then. I could do with a laugh,"

Rose rolled her eyes and looked away from all of them in annoyance. Lucy knew she didn't want Mickey on board, but also knew that they'de have a lot of fun while it lasted.

Mickey broke out in a huge grin before he turned to Rose and asked, "Rose, is that okay?"

"No, it's great! Why not," she answered sarcastically, annoyed that the Doctor didn't ask her first.

The Doctor looked between Mickey and Rose, starting to get that Rose wasn't very pleased with his decision.

After an awkward silence, Sarah Jane broke it by saying, "I better go,"

She grabbed Rose and whispered something to her while the Doctor leaned down and whispered in my ear, "Was that not the right thing to do?"

Lucy shook her head lightly before answering, "I think she would have liked it better if you had asked her first."

The Doctor looked back at Rose just as her and Sarah Jane broke apart. The Doctor walked over to the doors and led Sarah Jane out. The doors had just closed when a light started to glow around Lucy.

"What? No!" Lucy pouted as she noticed the glow and realised what it meant, "I wanted to see Sarah Jane's face when she found K9!"

"Rose lifted her eyebrows before she gave Lucy a quick hug and said, "I'll see you soon. Don't get into too much trouble!"

Lucy smiled and said, "See you Rose, Mickey. Tell the Doctor I said bye!"

And with that. She disappeared in a flash of light, and was swept away to another adventure.
