• We ran even more. The farther we got, the more faint the Slitheens squealing got. I had so many things jumbling around in my mind as we ran for our lives...again.

    We ran outside the station. We could see our breath in the air as we tried to catch our breath again. " Alright children," Officer Cooper said as we stopped running,"I need you to go home and stay there." She began to walk back into the station.
    "Wait!" I said. She stopped in her steps and turned towards us. "Do you know what's going on here?" I asked. She sighed and turned back around, "Just go home kid." was all she said. Then she disappeared into the station.

    "Now what do we do?" Austin said still catching his breath.
    "Simple," Maria answered, "we'll wait until Sarah Jane and the Doctor come out."
    "Hopefully with the Tardis." Luke said.

    I took my phone out to check the time as we all sat down on nearby benches. It had been 15 minuets since the angry phone call from dad. He would be at the school soon and I wouldn't be there.

    Maria and I sat in a bench while the boys sat in another one a few feet away from us. The bench felt cold in the misty night.
    "You okay?" Maria asked me breaking the utter silence. "You seem a bit worried. Is this too much for you?"
    I laughed and shook my head, "No way! This is an adventure of a lifetime, the adventure I've been searching for all my life. It's just..."
    "Just what," she asked me with concern.
    "It's just I left to help you guys...but I don't even know you. Not even the Doctor."
    Maria sat there in silence for a couple minuets, "That's funny," she said almost in a whisper.
    "What?"
    "That's the same thing Sarah Jane said about the Doctor. They used to travel together. He usually has a "companion" of sorts. Gosh, how alone he must be without one."
    I agreed with her on that. Traveling through time and saving the world must be hard to do alone.
    "Yeah," I answered.
