"Why?"

I was trying on different clothes. I didn't like the dresses the TARDIS gave me. I was alone for once. Kaitlyn and Ashley had gone home and the Doctor was not available.
"Why do you keep giving me dresses?" I asked the TARDIS.
It just didn't make sense. At least it kept giving me a hat. A song played throughout the TARDIS.
"Who says..." The voice singing it was so perfect. I knew it was time. I was wearing a red dress suitable for running and heels. My hat on my head I ran to the console room. He stood there.
"Hello, Stranger," I said, having no clue how I knew him.
"Hello, Rebel," he said, "Don't you know me yet?"
I shook my head, "Too early I suppose. I might meet you properly later. What's up?"
"Nothing..." he said, "How long?"
"Only a week. How long?"
"It needs more time. You look really pretty. Come on," he said.
The TARDIS doors opened as we stepped out. I locked the doors. My eyes had started to turn red.
"When are we?" I asked annoyed.
"France, 1912," he said, "Don't look at anyone though."
We ran into the palace where we found the Doctor. It was 10 and I knew that I had to talk to him, this time. I looked around and saw that the stranger was gone. I walked over to the Doctor and put my hand on his shoulder.
He looked back and said, "Here she is, my sister. What took you so long?"
"I got lost," I said under my breath, "Your Highness."
"She is more pretty than you said, Doctor," the king said.
I smiled my prettiest smile. I knew what the king was thinking.
I won't, I mouthed to the Doctor. When the music started the king grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor. I wanted to scream at both of them. My brother knew that love wasn't my thing, and I wanted nothing to do with any king. My memories of being human had made me more than a bit self-conscious around people with any sort of power, and had made me want nothing to do with love. I let the king have his dance though.
"Doctor," I said returning to him. "I am going to kill you for that, and I won't let you regenerate."
I didn't drink any wine and at the end of the night I left and the Doctor followed me.
"Why did you do that?!?" I almost yelled at him.
"Because you needed it," he replied. "I know not the best answer but it's the truth."
I slapped his face. Then I saw her. I knew who it was.
"Hello, Rose," I said.
"Hello, Mam," she said back. "Who are you?"
"My name is Rebel and I am his sister," I said poking the Doctor.
We were walking to his TARDIS and when the doors opened for me as well. Rose looked surprised.
"I'm a Time Lord, Rose. His TARDIS knows me, as mine knows him."
I left and found the stranger again.
"Who are you? How will I know when I meet you for real?"
He handed me a note. And the doors shut. I flipped a few switches and pressed a button. Off we go.
The TARDIS landed and the doors opened. Kaitlyn walked in, "You look amazing but your eyes are red. What did he do this time?"
I knew that she ment the Doctor. Being my angel ment that she knew almost everything about me.
"He made me dance with the bloody king of France in 1912. Ha! Can you imagine me dancing with a person who has power?"
"I begged him not to you know?"
I gave her a hug, "I know you did but Theta doesn't always listen to other people."
That made both of us laugh because that was his nickname at the Academy. Then I remembered the note, "I was given this."
Kaitlyn took the note, "Do you want me to read it out loud?"
I nodded.
She started: "Rebel, you might not understand who I am now but when you see me again you don't trust me. I don't know why I met you this time but I am glad I did. When the Doctor comes next time with Amy and Rory take Kaitlyn and Ashley and go with him. With love, W. Balan. It has a snake imprinted in the wax. Do you know who or why?"
"I have no clue why. There was a guy he had a German accent and he said I knew him," I said.
"Why?"
"I wish I knew."
