Planet Earth. This is where I was born. And this is where I died. For the first twenty-three years of my life, nothing happened. Nothing at all. Not ever. I dedicated my life to taking care of my younger sister. What happened to me didn't matter, as long as she was okay. And then I met a man called the Doctor. A man who could change his face. And he took me and my sister away from home is his magical machine. He showed me the whole of time and space. I thought it would never end, I promised forever with him. But then came the army of ghosts. Then came Torchwood and the war. That's when it all ended. This is the story of how I died.

Stepping out of the TARDIS in a thin, white, long sleeved sweater, black jean and my brown combat boots, I spin in a circle as I take in the London air. I almost topple over as the large rucksack on my back throws me off balance. Thankfully, the Doctor catches me in his arms, making me blush like crazy. He smiles when he sees it, always loving the affect he has on me. He releases me from his grip only to take my hand and lead Rose and I off to go see Jackie.

"Mum, it's us! We're back!" I sing-song as I enter the flat. Rose chuckles next to me as we hear mum literally drop whatever she was doing to come see us, "I don't know why you bother with that phone. You never use it!" She shouts as she runs up to us before grabbing us both in a bone crushing hug.

"I love you!" Rose chuckles into her neck.

"I love you both so much!" She releases us from the hug and grabs the Doctor as he tries to slip past us, "Oh no you don't! Come here!" She grabs his face and gives him a quick kiss, making my jaw drop.

"No, just-" He tries to protest and pull away but mum's peppering his cheeks with kisses. I burst with laughter at the sight his pure discomfort. She pulls him into tight hug and he holds his hands straight out as she does, not hugging her back, "Oh, you lovely big fella! You're all mine. Well-" she sends me look over the Doctor's shoulder, shutting my laughter down as the blush works across my face.

"Just- just- just put me down." He pleads as he's still squished in her tight grip.

She gives him one last kiss on the lips before letting him go. He scrunches his face in disgust as he wipes at his lips. My loud laughter draws his attention, and when he realizes I'm laughing at him, he sends me a glare. I simply laugh harder at him, but the mischievous glint in his eyes making me a little worried. He stalks towards me and I slowly back away from his advances. He smirks before jumping at me and using my shoulder to wipe his mouth. I'm left barely able to breathe through my laughter as I try to push him off of me.

Rose's voice draws us out of our playful bantering, "We've got loads of washing for you!" She grins at Jackie as they both turn away from me when I look at them. But the smiles on their faces tell me they enjoyed the little show.

I take the rucksack off my back as I dig through a pocket, "And, we got you this." I pull a cute little trinket from the bag and hold it in my cupped palm as I show it to her, "It's from the market on this asteroid bazaar. It's made of, um... what's it called?" I ask the Doctor as I turn to face him. "Bezoolium." He answers with a smile before getting back to looking at whatever he's inspecting. I nod as I spin back to face Jackie, "Bezoolium. When it gets cold, yeah? It means it's going to rain. When it's hot, it's going to be sunny. You can use it to tell the weather."

My smile slips when I see that she's not all that excited about the gift. "I've got a surprise for you both." She says as she looks over Rose and I.

I sigh as I spin the Bezoolium in between my palms, "Oh, I get her a Bezoolium, she doesn't even say thanks." I send Rose an exasperated look, and I hear her and the Doctor chuckle at me.
