CHAPTER 1: The Doctor's Daughter

"Hello Dad."

"Generated anomaly… generated. How about that? Jenny?"

"Two hearts…"

"Watch and learn, father."

"Not impossible, just a bit unlikely!"

"Love the running!"

"You're my daughter. And we've only just got started."

"Hello boys…"

Everything came back to me. I was laid on a table, looking up at two faces; one human, or Time Lord, whichever… and the other Hath. I was shot, that I remembered pretty clearly. After, I fell into someone's arms. They were the arms of my father, and his big, deep brown, tearful eyes were the last image I could recollect before the darkness. Well, not darkness exactly… more like nothingness. Then I woke up here.

I looked between the two boys above me, both of whom had expressions of absolute horror plastered across their faces. I leapt off the table, somehow knowing exactly what I was going to do. I ran straight towards the escape pods, and let myself in. I could hear Cline yelling behind me, but I didn't stop. Why would I? I was shot, and killed, yet I was here and I was alive. I'd been given a second chance, and I wasn't about to let that go. I had to follow my dad; I had to travel in time and space… and no one was going to stop me.

"Jenny, come back!" Cline's voice echoed through the pod.

"Sorry, can't stop. What are you gonna do, tell my dad?" I said, grinning.

"But where are you going?" Cline replied, with panic rising in his voice.

"Oh, I've got the whole universe! Planets to save, civilisations to rescue, creatures to defeat… and an awful lot of running to do."

I pressed buttons (somehow knowing which ones were right, must have been from the war knowledge I had imprinted in me from the machine), and grabbed the wheel of the pod excitedly. I gazed out of the window at the dark, starry space. It was infinite, like my dad's old eyes. There were endless possibilities, opportunities and adventures to be had out there… and I was going to seize them with everything I had. The pod rose, and I tipped the controls forwards. Suddenly the pod rocketed upwards, and I was on my way.

"Allons-y!" I whispered.

-~oOo~-

I sighed, settling into the rhythm of the pod's engine, and relaxed back into the driving seat. I had no idea where I was actually going, but I reasoned that dad went anywhere and everywhere, we'd be bound to bump into each other at some point, surely. I didn't have to wait long, as it happened. I was fantasising about dad's spaceship, what it would look like, how cool it must be… when a blue box span directly over the front window, and whizzed speedily straight ahead of me. I stared at the strange little thing, wondering what it could possibly be. I felt connected to it, and without realising, I accelerated. There was something telling me to follow its path, and within a minute the pod was right behind. The box abruptly pulled away, and as I lost a little hope that I could track it until it landed, (wherever that might have been) the pod jerked forwards again as if it was being dragged.

"What the hell?" I shouted over the shrill grumbling of the engine.

I was flying far faster than I thought possible, and I was certain the box was towing me through the atmosphere. The pod was completely out of my control. I was zooming past stars and solar systems, all a blur. I saw a yellow light in the distance, which the pod quickly caught up to.

Then everything stopped.

LunaRoseDiCaprio: First FanFic attempt, hope I started OK :) I really like the character of Jenny, and I think her exit in the show could lead to so many different amazing stories.. I wanted her to return so bad, and I had this idea of how she could fit into the episodes since, so I thought I'd give it a go :) Chapter 1 based on the ending of 'The Doctor's Daughter'..
