I watched as the moving van pulled up opposite my home. I looked closely and saw a lot of woman. I think, I also saw a women start moving things into the house. It's about time, since that house has been empty for months. It's weird, but I might miss it. I would always ask myself if anyone would ever move into the house.

Though I knew Sarah Jane was going to like it better when it was empty.

My name is Kathleen Sandy Smith. Or Kitty, for short. That's what everyone-that's what Sarah Jane calls me.

I am not like most people on this planet. For one, I am not human; well I am human, but not completely. I am half human. So I look, act and feel just like any one else on Earth.

But I wasn't born here. And I have more abilities than any human could ever possess.

I see Sarah Jane-or my mum, as that's my cover story for whenever I'm out with her-pull into the driveway. I go downstairs and out to the driveway to greet her. I smile as we start walk to the house together.

"Hiya!" We hear and turn around to see a girl around my age. She was weight with brown hair that was pulled back into a braid. She was wearing overall jeans over a plaid long sleeve. I wave back while Sarah Jane comes off a little frosty for my taste. But she has always been like that; more so since I came into her life.

We go inside and I watch as that girl stands in the front door of the house with a man, whom I assumed was her dad. I sigh; if only I had friends. I didn't really get out much because of what I am.

Keeping a secret isn't my problem.

It's just that Sarah Jane is paranoid about someone figuring out my secret and exposing me. She doesn't want me to end up in some lab being dissected.

I doubt it will happen, but she is just worried. And for a while I was. But I've been with her for years now. And I'm kind of tired of just staying inside all the time.

This isn't much of a life.

I love Sarah Jane. She is like a mum to me. She is the only thing close to mother I have and will ever have.

But I just wish i could be like the kids I see from outside the window; have friends, go to school, and stuff like that.

I mean now that I'm aging normally like a human, and I'm known in the community as the Smith daughter, shouldn't I be living my life like a human? A full normal human.

I awake at 3:45 A.M. by a noise outside. Also by Sarah Jane shaking me awake. "Kitty. Wake up." I follow her outside to the backyard where this alien stands-or floats before me. It's singing this song; it's so beautiful.

"Can you understand her?" She asks me and I nod. I knew various languages. Not just the ones on earth. I knew tons of alien languages; which I guess came in handy.

"She's lost." I tell my mum. "She needs to find her way home." I say. I am familiar with the planet she is from, it's close to where I'm from; I still can't believe I remember. We give her directions and she flies off. Sarah Jane waves goodbye with a smile on her face, then down at her hands to see that she was left with a gift.

I hear the sound of the gate from behind me so I go check. Was someone watching us? But nothing. No one. I guess it was nothing.

I get dressed the next morning in a long grey classic pocket shirt, black leggings, brown Prada Suede boots, and my blue letter embroidered velvet jacket. Also put on my two rings; if I'm going to convince Sarah Jane to let me do this, then I'll have to have them with me.

I go downstairs. "Where are you going off to?" She asked me. I sigh, knowing she wasn't going to be thrilled about this. But this was something I wanted to do. This was something I had to do.

"Over the road. To greet the new neighbors." I told her. I knew she was going to tell me it wasn't a good idea or just flat out tell me no, so I stop her before she can. "Sarah Jane, we need start looking a little normal. I mean, people around here know me as your daughter. They're going to think it's odd I am never out doing kid things, I don't go to school, and all that." I tell her. I know she probably said I am home schooled but still. That didn't mean they wouldn't think it was strange I'm only seen when going to stores or with her on some jobs.

"And what's the harm of greeting the new neighbors? It's not like I'm going to tell them I'm an alien or anything we do. Not like they would believe me anyways." I say. I didn't see anyone greet them yet, so maybe I should be the friendly neighbor that goes over.

Sarah Jane sighed, was that a good or bad sign? I couldn't tell. "Fine." She says agreeing. "Do you have your ring? And your mobile?" She asks me and I nod. "Let me know if you are going anywhere else. Phone me if anything happens." I gave her a hug and then practically bolted out the door.

I walked across the road and knocked on the door of house number 36.

The girl I saw yesterday answered. "You moved in yesterday, right?" I asked and she nodded. "I saw you. I live across the road."

"Right." I guess she didn't really remember me. Or maybe she did. Probably not as Sarah Jane was in a rush to get me inside.

"I'm Maria." She tells me.

"Kitty." I tell her. She invites me and we sat down on the couch. She puts on the telly and I notice she doesn't have music channels; she thought it was a big deal. I guess it would be to other girls, but luckily I am not other girls. I looked to my left and noticed an empty bottle of that drink Bubble Shock. Gross!

"You like this stuff?" I asked her and she frowned, quickly shaking her head.

"No, it's disgusting. My dad likes it though." Maria told me. "I don't know why. It tastes horrible."

"Thank god someone has taste buds." I say and we laugh. "Anyways, is there anything else to do in this town?" I probably shouldn't have asked that since she just got here yesterday.

"You're asking me? I got here yesterday." She replies and I laugh along with her for a second. "How long have you been living here?" She asks me.

A very long time.

"A year maybe. I haven't really been into town." I tell her. I wonder what else there is to do in town besides go to shops. I don't have money and I don't want to go home and ask Sarah Jane for any.

"Well my dad told me about this tour of the Bubble Shock factory. It's a free bus and everything." Maria says. "I know it's disgusting, but we could go. Just to get out of here. Maybe see the town." She suggested. I do hate that drink, but she does have a point; and maybe it'll be fun.

"Sure, I'll have to tell my mum." I tell her. I had to remind myself to call her 'mum' and not 'Sarah Jane'; I guess I could get used to that. She was like a mum to me. She always has been.

We started to head out when she shouted "Dad, I'm going out!" to her father so he would know we were going. He then came outside after her.

"Leaving already?" He asks.

"We're going into town." Maria tells him.

"Without the proper goodbye?" He says, as if there was something she forgot. What did he mean without the proper goodbye?

"Dad!" She mumbles but he then taps his cheek with his finger and Maria slowly walked up to him. She kisses him on the cheek. Oh that's what he meant.

"Cute." I comment and we both laugh. "Can we go now?" I ask. I just had this urge to get out of here.

"Who's this?" Her dad asks.

"This is Kitty. She lives across the road." Maria tells him and we started walking off when I saw Sarah Jane about to go back inside after going to the mailbox. "Mum! I'm going out!" I yell and she looked back.

"Hi! We just moved opposite—" Maria started to say.

"Hello." Sarah Jane says, sort of bitterly. Did she hear me say I was going out?

"HI! HI! I'M ALAN JACKSON!" Her dad says, running over the road to where Sarah Jane is. I laughed, quietly, that conversation was going to be interesting; no way I wasn't going to miss watch this.

"I hope you won't be too loud, I work from home and I like the quiet." She tells him without introducing herself. Wow, nice way to welcome the new neighbors!

"It's nice to be made welcome." He comments and I want to laugh but instead it's more of a smirk.

"Sorry." She says and turns back to him. "Sarah Jane Smith." She shook his hand and then looked at me as Maria told me we should go before we miss the bus.

"Where are you two going?" Her dad asks.

"Bubbleshock Factory." Maria tells him. We then start walking until we get to the bus stop. As we got there I saw Sarah Jane's car racing down the street; I guess the conversation with Maria's dad didn't last long after we left.

"So that's your mum?" She asked me and I nodded. "She seems glamorous. What does she do?"

"Journalist." I told her. "Anyway, do you anything about this tour, bus, and whatever?" Maria didn't get to answer as we heard music and turned to see the bus coming our way. We got on it and Maria showed me that they had loads of free samples. No thanks. She of course didn't want one either.

"I don't understand how this stuff works." I say.

"I don't either. My dad says it's better for you than all the other drinks out there." Maria said. "Does your mum drink it?"

"No, she'd rather die than taste it. Especially after I told her how it tastes." I tell her. "I guess the word organic doesn't mean it tastes good." She laughed and I started laughing with her.

Eventually we got to the factory and the tour started-or I thought. Our tour guide told us to walk through the scanner one at a time. "A security scan in a pop factory?" I questioned. It was probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Something wasn't right about this.

"People want to steal the recipe." A girl next to me said as she then walked through the scanner. Maria walked through first as I looked at the scanner; I didn't trust it.

This is really weird.

"Come on." Maria said and I sighed, looking at the floor before slowly walking through. I had a strange feeling about this. Then the tour guide, Davey, had us turn our cell phones off.

"What is a mobile phone going to do? We're in a pop factory." I ask Maria.

"Maybe make the bubbles go flat." Maria joked and I laughed silently with her.

"That's enough lip in the back. Just do it." Davey says, bitterly. I rolled my eyes and both Maria and I turned our phones off as free samples were given out. Most people took one or two except doe this one boy took about ten; watching him carry it all through the tour would be interesting to watch.

"Oi!" He says, looking at me. Just me. I then noticed Maria took one. Probably for her dad as I knew she didn't like it either.

"No Bubbleshock?" He asked me.

"Sorry. I've got the wrong taste buds." I replied.

"Right, the 2%." He says walking towards the bin that had the bottles in it. So it wasn't just Maria and I who hated Bubbleshock. "Don't worry, we're working on that. Very soon we'll have everyone drinking Bubble Shock." He said as he threw a bottle at me. "The whole world."

I don't like how that sentence sounded.

"I rather have a cup of tea." I reply, as I throw it back with the rest. We continued the tour until the alarms started going off and then I heard a scream.

I had to see what was going on because I knew there was something strange about this place. "Kitty!" Maria called as she chased after me.

"You go!" I shout as I keep going; she doesn't leave me. We ran for a while, but I never heard the scream again. Eventually, we stopped running towards whoever it was, but then away from the workers so we wouldn't get in trouble.

We were somewhere very unfamiliar, Maria stayed close to me and then we turned around to go another way when we see this boy.

I look at him, he is wearing this white clothing thing, it was very strange. That was all he was wearing—well that and sneakers. It was a weird get up. What even is it?

"Hello." I said.

"Hello." He repeated.

"Who are you?" Maria asked.

"Who are you?" He repeated again.

"We're lost." I say, looking around trying to figure out where we were.

"We're lost." He repeated. Okay, why was he doing that? I didn't get a chance to ask that because we heard those workers close by and then the boy started running. Maria and I started running in the same direction he was going.

We hid behind a wall and waited for the men to walk away before we could move. I looked at the boy and I knew he was scared. He seemed terrified. I wonder if they kept him prisoner or something; that would explain the getup.

"We're not with them." Maria tells him.

"We can help you." I say and he looked at both of us and then smiles. "Follow me." I say and we went into the closest room, which luckily was the ladies bathroom. It was perfect; at least for a little while.

Maybe I should call Sarah Jane. No, she will have my head if she finds out what's happened.

"This should keep us safe for a while. Sorry for dragging you into the ladies." Maria said.

"Why don't men go into the ladies?" He asked. Okay, that was weird. Maria went to guard the door, not too far away from us as I looked at the boy. Strange how he didn't know really what was happening. I had a feeling that whoever these people are, they did something to this boy.

I touch his shoulder and I felt it. My people always talked about a feeling you get. But I don't know this boy. Why do i feel some sort of connection to him? I stared at him and he stared at me; did that mean he felt it too? This is really weird.

"What did they do to you?" I ask. I could feel his fear towards those people. I touched him again and I this time I saw, it was blurry, but I think it was while moving. Running. Maybe a memory. I don't know. But why running?

"Someone's coming in." Maria says quietly. That was when the three of us got into a stall together. We sat as quietly as we could, hoping that we would live through this. The sound of footsteps got closer and the boy touched my shoulder. I put my hand on top of his, hoping it helped. Closer and closer. I hear a hand touch the stall. It was opened; It was Sarah Jane.

"What are you doing here?" She asks me.

"I could ask you the same." I replied. "...And, I did say I was going out."

"Who's he?" She asked, looking at the boy.

"We don't know, we found him. I don't think he knows who he is either, to be honest." I tell her as get up and then help Maria to her feet.

"What have they done to you?" She asked.

"I just knew I had to get away." He says.

"I think that goes for all of us." Maria said and both Sarah Jane and I agreed. "What are we going to do?" That's when I saw it a way out.

She got out and went out to the car and Sarah Jane used her sonic lipstick to open the gate. We escaped.

We made it home and Maria started asking a bunch of questions; this is not good. "You can go now Maria. I got this." Sarah Jane tells her, not listening to any of her questions. I knew she wouldn't tell her anything. "Kitty, let's go."

Well I managed to get out for a few hours.

"I saw you last night!" Maria says and that was when we turned around to face her. So there was someone in the back last night when I heard the gate open. It was Maria.

"What?" Sarah Jane asks.

"She said she saw you last night." The boy said.

"She saw both of us actually." I stated.

"I saw you and her. With that thing. That alien." Maria said, well this was not good. Not good at all. I guess she saw me translate its song so we could could know what to do.

"Listen to me, Maria. My life is dangerous." She said. "You need to stay away from me. And from Kitty. You go home, watch telly, and do whatever it is you do. You stay away from us and live your life as normal. You got that?!" She practically screamed and Maria ran across the road in tears.

"A little harsh." I commented as we walked into the house with the boy.

"She can't get involved. She is a child." Sarah Jane says.

"As if she will forget any of what she already knows." I say as she went into the kitchen after putting the boy in the living room. She was making some food and some tea for him, I guess. "It's not like she would tell anyone—"

"Kitty, she is not getting involved and you can't associate with her."

"Right, I can't have friends like a normal person because of what I am and what you do." I say and I storm out angrily.

"Kitty!" She yells, but I ignore her and go out the door, slamming it. I went over the road and knocked on Maria's door. Her dad answered and let me in.

"Here comes trouble." He said and I rolled my eyes as I was in her sight.

"Kitty?" She said and I sat down next to her, then her dad left to make us a snack. I wasn't a fan of beans; no one on my planet would ever eat something like that. It sounds disgusting and Sarah Jane hates them as well. "What happened?"

"Sorry, Sarah Jane—my mum—are complicated. Of course, she can't stop me from talking to you at least for now." I say and we talked for a little bit, but then I got this feeling. A bad vibe. I close my eyes and concentrate; I have to see it.

"Kitty—? What's wrong?"

"He's here." I tell her. "The man from the factory."

"Dad, I'm going out!" Maria yelled and we left in a hurry, running over the road back to my house. It was locked, oh shit. I was about to get the key when Maria started banging on the door.

"Sarah Jane! Open up! It's me! It's Maria!" She yelled.

"Like that will help." I say, but she rolled her eyes and kept knocking until the door was answered by Sarah Jane.

"I told you—" She started to say, but I had to stop her; this was wasting time.

"Mum, the man from the factory! He's here, he's on the streets!" I tell her. "I could feel him." Sarah Jane was listening now, more than ever.

Then Maria started to scream and we saw it. It was huge and literally on the side of the house. Maria and I ran inside. Sarah Jane locked and blocked the door with her body.

How long is that going to hold up?

"Hello Maria. Hello Sarah Jane's daughter." The boy says as he walked into where we were.

"It's Kitty." I corrected.

"Get upstairs." Sarah Jane says. I knew that this was one of those emergencies since she was letting other people upstairs. She would never let anyone upstairs.

"But we're not allowed." The boy said. Of course, she went through that rule with him.

"I'm allowing you!" Sarah Jane yells, struggling with the door. I grabbed both the boy's and Maria's hands and we starting running. Eventually Sarah Jane was running right behind us up the stairs. We got to the top and She went up to the attic to get something.

"What's up there?" Maria asked.

"Don't go up, she'll be back. She'll be back." I told Maria, Sarah Jane would kill me if I let Maria or the boy go up there. I kept the two of them close to me, if Sarah Jane wasn't back in time I would use my powers even if it would expose me.

"First the children and then you old woman." He says and as I was about to use them, Sarah Jane came back and sprayed the alien with this gas. Then we saw it was our tour guide, Davey. So they were all aliens? Wonderful. Though it made sense. He went away in fear of what we might do next.

I went to help Sarah Jane. "Kitty, I'm okay." She says and I sigh.

"A little too late." I say. "I'm sorry about before."

"It's okay." She tells me and then we heard something and realized that Maria wasn't there; she went up into the attic with the boy. Sarah Jane and I went up there and watched as they looked around, amazed and confused at what they were seeing. Maria was more surprised as the boy didn't know much about the world so everything was just as new and surprising to him.

"Don't touch anything!" Sarah Jane says.

"Are these alien?" Maria asks.

"Some of them." I say. I wondered if any of them would ask about me. They looked at all the stuff and then they asked about Sarah Jane's story. How it started and how I came into the picture.

"I met this man. A very special man, called The Doctor. We travelled through space and time." She told them.

"She met me when she first met the Doctor, they sort of saved me from another alien who took me from my planet. I was slave until they saved me." I explain and Maria was staring at me now.

"She travelled with me and The Doctor. Then when I went home, she came with me. When my old life returned, as boring as it is and how I didn't want it—Kitty made it a little easier to start a new life." Sarah Jane explains as she puts an arm around my shoulder.

"We tried being normal, but it didn't work out." I said. "We saw him again and then this started. We help aliens or we try our best to help protect people and things from them."

"Do believe us?" Sarah Jane asks Maria and she nods. "Really? Why?"

"I mean, it sounds bonkers, but I don't think you're liars." Maria says and both Sarah Jane and I both smiled.

"Well that's good to know." Sarah Jane says.

"Except the bonkers bit." I added and we laughed a little. We explained to her that aliens come to earth all the time. We help them and protect earth from them. Then we showed her and the boy, K-9. Our robot dog from the year 5000. A gift from The Doctor. When he came by, he was still plugging the dark orbit. Then we showed Maria the gift that the alien from the other night left.

"Can I see?" The boy asked and Maria looked at me and I looked at Sarah Jane. She nodded and I gave it too him.

"Be careful, I told him.

"Everything is completely new to him." Sarah Jane says and I nodded. "I think those people made him for some reason."

"He's their child?" Maria questioned, I doubted that. If he were their child, he wouldn't be afraid of them. He would be trying to get rid of us or something. And when we touched, it was definitely something.

"But he's human, so I don't understand." Sarah Jane says. "He doesn't have a naval." She then whispers to me. What? No belly button? That's like, that's like me. She then went over to the boy and took the device from him. I wonder if she was worried about him breaking it. "Sorry, I'm not a big fan of people touching my things." She tells him.

"That device on your wrist, it detects aliens?" He asked and mum nodded. "What's it detecting now?" Maria and I looked at her confused and then she looked at her watch. I could hear it going off.

"He's right." Sarah Jane says.

"There might be another one of those things out there." Maria suggested.

"Maybe it's me." I said, half-joking.

"Wait." Sarah Jane says and started walking to where the watch was saying the source was, it was towards us. She stopped at Maria.

"Are you sure, it's not just detecting me?" I asked, I didn't think Maria was an alien.

"It's not you, or her—" Sarah Jane said, picking up the bottle of Bubble Shock that Maria took from the factory. "—it's the drink. It's that ingredient Bane. It's alive."

"What?" Maria asked.

"Species Identified: Bane." Sarah Jane said. She started reading the bottle closely to hopefully get more information. "A Bane mother. There's a living piece of Bane in every bottle of Bubbleshock." She said, I don't know why I am surprised. That stuff horrible.

"What are we going to do?" Maria asked. "My dad drinks that and he has alien in him now. What is that going to do?"

"Mum we need to do something now!" I said and she nodded. She didn't even notice I called her mum when I didn't have to.

"Mr. Smith…" Mum said.

"Yes, Sarah Jane?"

"…I need you." She finished and then Mr. Smith started to come out. I saw that Maria was amazed at it. The boy was too. Just not as amazed as Maria was. "I need you to get in contact with Mrs. Wormwood at the Bane factory. Can you get coordinates?"

"Yes, Sarah Jane." He said and started to dial the number, saying them aloud as well. I went over to the boy, who was listening and watching the numbers. Why was I having a connection with him? What is he? Sarah Jane had a conversation with Mrs. Wormwood, but it didn't end well.

"What are you going to do?" Maria asked her. I wondered that myself.

"You tell me." She replied.

"What?" I questioned. "You can't just sit here and do nothing. You got to do something!"

"The people I fight have plans and weapons, I don't have any of that. I'm just a normal person." She said and sighed.

"You aren't normal. You are a freaking companion of The Doctor, with an adopted daughter from another planet. And you have a human made by aliens in your attic. You are far from normal. Now, we just need a plan."

That was when we went out of the house and we told Maria we would handle. I wasn't going to argue this time because we needed to hurry and stop the Bane. But then we saw the people outside; they were acting like zombies. People were being controlled. Everyone who drank Bubbleshock has Bane in them so they can be controlled. Maria's dad included.

"Dad! It's the Bane! It's not you!" Maria said. But I knew it wouldn't work.

"The only thing we can do for him now is get to the factory." I told her as I grabbed her arm and dragged her back across the road and into the car. We quickly drove to the factory, avoiding innocent people in the streets. The gates shut behind us. Sarah Jane was blanking on a plan; we were too.

We were stuck.

"Doctor, help me!" Sarah Jane said. "Okay. think." She said, mostly to herself while looking at her sonic lipstick. She then she looked over and grinned. I turned my head and grinned too. The Bubbleshock bus; it was perfect.

We got in it. Maria, the boy, and I held on tightly to each other as Sarah Jane floored it into the factory. Then we could see Mrs. Wormwood.

"Hope we're not too late for the party." Sarah Jane says and I laughed. "Now leave this planet!"

"Have you met, my mother?" She asked pointing up above. Sarah Jane fell back, it must have been the Bane mother; it was huge.

"Leave her alone!" Maria yelled going out there with her.

"Maria!" I couldn't stop her. That was when the boy and I went outside. I had him stay close to me; I had to protect him.

"You brought us the archetype." She said.

"He is a human being." Sarah Jane corrected.

"What did you do to him? Why did you create him?" I demanded to know.

"The 2% wouldn't touch Bane, he would fix Bubbleshock so everyone would drink it." Mrs. Wormwood told us. "Every tour of the factory, we would scan our guest and feed everything into him." That's why I felt a connection. He is human, but he also has a part of me in him. Now we are linked telepathically. "However, now, he is no longer needed."

She turned her watch and he fell to the ground. "No!" I screamed. I could feel his pain. My head! "Please, let him go!" I say as I put one hand on my head.

"He's a child, let him go." Sarah Jane said, after I did.

"Well isn't that sweet?" Mrs. Wormwood teased. "But he is dying and soon all of you will too." I kept the boy, Sarah Jane, and Maria close. My head hurts. I guess we are truly linked.

"We have to do something." I say and that was when Maria stood up and turned her phone on to start the alarms. It seemed to hurt the Bane mother a little bit, but it almost got Maria killed in the process.

"I have this." The boy said and I looked to see the gift from the alien last night. In a way it was like a phone, which is what he explained to Mrs. Wormwood.

"It's a good thing you don't know our phone number."

"Mr. Smith said it out loud." The boy said and I nodded.

"But those were dozens of numbers." Sarah Jane pointed out.

"But I remember them." He told her.

"I do too." I said, I guess I had a really good memory since we were linked. He dialed the number on it as I said it aloud in unison with him and Mrs. Wormwood order us to stop. But we wouldn't.

CALLING THE BANE!" The boy and I both yelled, holding it up. It was working better than Maria's phone; this was like millions of phones calling at once.

"I order you to stop!" Mrs. Wormwood yelled.

"You made him human!" Sarah Jane yelled back. "He's ours!"

I took his hand and the four of us started to run. We made it out before it exploded and then Sarah Jane pulled us into a hug. She couldn't believe we did that and survived. The boy acknowledged his freedom.

At home, Sarah Jane, the boy, and I went over to Maria's, to properly introduce ourselves. "Sorry about before." Sarah Jane said, "Welcome to the neighborhood." They shook hands, this was friendly.

This felt kind of normal.

"Sarah Jane, right?" Her dad asked and she nodded.

"This is my daughter, Kitty." She told him and I smiled. He already knew that, but I guess we were starting over with the introduction.

"Who's this?" He asked, looking at the boy.

"This is my son. My adopted son." Sarah Jane said and I smiled. He was going to be staying with us; he's my brother now.

"What's your name?" He asked. Oh no.

"I don't have one." He replied. Oh shit!

"It's an old family joke. A joke." I told him; it was a good save. Before Sarah Jane could say anything further, Maria's mum came in and then we left; we went to the mall because he really needed some new clothes.

He couldn't wear that forever.

That night, Maria came over and mum gave us some real pop to drink. Then the boy came out in normal clothes, which looked a lot better.

"That's better. Much better." Maria commented.

"Is this good?" He asked and the three of us nodded as he sat down in the middle of Sarah Jane and I.

I guess will really have to start calling her mum now. I don't mind; I like it.

"How are you going to adopt him?" Maria asked; that was already done.

"Done. Mr. Smith took care of the paper work and such. Now all he needs is a name." Sarah Jane said.

"You could pick your own." I tell him.

"I like yours, Maria." He says looking at her.

"Okay, maybe he shouldn't chose his own." Maria said, laughing. Yeah, probably not. "About Danny? Nathan? Josh?" She suggests. Hmm, I like those but they didn't suit him.

"Charlie? Adam?" I pitched in, I guess not. They didn't sound right either.

"Harry, Alistair, Luke?" Mum said and I think the last one was the best one. I like that one.

"I like Luke." Maria said.

"I like Luke." Sarah Jane says smiling.

"It's perfect." I added. "Luke Smith."

"Did you ever have a boyfriend?" Maria asked Sarah Jane, curiously.

"No, there was only one man for me. Nobody else compares." Sarah Jane said. You can't argue there.

We look up at the stars when Luke sees a plane go by. I smile leaning against Sarah Jane-I mean, mum-and putting my arm around Luke's shoulder. That may not be a space ship, but when came to more threats, this family will be ready for it.
