Celestia was in the control room, reading her book as she sipped her coffee, feeling so relaxed. Coffee helped her feel better no matter which regeneration she was in. After drinking tea with the Time Lords, Charley said she wanted to take a shower and then sleep. The Doctor, on the other hand, said he needed to take care of some stuff and asked her if she wanted to help him. She said no because she didn't have enough energy to even stand up. Instead, she summoned her book she was reading before, and a coffee and sat on the chair in the control room comfortably. As she read, Charley came into the room.

"Couldn't sleep?" She asked Charley, without looking up from her book.

"Yes." Charley confirmed.

"Can I ask why?" She asked.

"I was thinking about the adventures that I had with you and The Doctor." Charley said, honestly.

"Feeling overwhelmed?" Celestia asked again as she closed her book and put it aside.

"Precisely." Charley agreed. "Do you ever feel like it?"

"All the time." Celestia admitted, honestly. "Maybe this is a good thing."

"How?" Charley frowned

"You could always walk away and go home. But you don't. You make a stand. That shows courage." Celestia explained.

"You think I'm a courageous person?" Charley asked, feeling touched.

"Of course." Celestia said, smiling at her. "Otherwise I would just have The Doctor in The Tardis right now."

"Where is he?" Charley realizes suddenly.

"Oh, he said he has to go take care of something and left." She shrugged.

"I wonder if it was something important." Charley said curiously..

"It didn't look like that." Celestia said. "Otherwise I would have just followed him."

"Do you guys do everything together?" Charley asked, confused.

"Not everything but most of time yes. It's what we have done ever since we were children." Celestia smiled at the memories she had with him.

"You knew each other that long?" Charley asked, bewildered. She knew they were very close but didn't know that they knew each other from a very early age.

"Yes." She approved. "He was mine and The Protector's classmate. That's how all of us met."

"Protector is your brother, right?" Charley said as she recalled what Deeva said to the Time Lords.

"My twin brother, yes." Celestia confirmed.

"That's cool." Charley said. Then there was a silence between them, since neither of them knew what to say.

"Were you and The Doctor always this close?" Charley asked finally.

"Yes. When we first met, we became best friends instantly. Now he's my only best friend."

"Seems more than best friend to me." Charley remarked.

"What do you mean?" Celestia asked, not getting what she was implying.
