It was after the wedding. Lorelai watched from a distance. Then she walked into the TARDIS and walked into her room and changed clothes. She now wore a pair of navy blue jeans and a navy blue halter top and a navy blue turtleneck sweater and a pair of navy blue converse sneakers. She stuck her phone in the back pocket of her jeans and shrugged into a leather jacket and grabbed her sonic screwdriver and walked out of her room and closed the door behind her and stuck her sonic screwdriver in her jacket and zipped up and buckled the belt. Then she walked out of the TARDIS. She watched the after party from a distance. Then she headed for the woods and entered the woods and walked through the woods. She'd heard a crash earlier that morning and wanted to investigate. She came to a incline. Lorelai was glad she was wearing converse sneakers. She climbed up the incline to the top. What she found surprised her. She saw a man and woman surrounded by weeping angel statues. Lorelai swore and grabbed her sonic screwdriver and adjusted the settings and fired at the weeping angel statues. The statues were destroyed. The man and woman turned to face her. Lorelai turned her sonic screwdriver off and stuck it in her jacket and said: "Hi there. You two okay?" The man said: "uh yeah. A little shaken up but otherwise okay. Thanks. Who are you?" Lorelai said: "my name is Lorelai Smith. You?" The man said: "I'm the Doctor and the woman next to me is Clara Oswald." Lorelai was about to answer when her phone rang. Lorelai said: "sorry, do you mind if I answer this?" The Doctor said: "not at all." Then Lorelai grabbed her phone and answered her phone and said: "hello?" Silence. Then she said: "Dad, I'm fine. I heard a crash earlier this morning and wanted to investigate the source of the crash. Don't worry, I have my sonic screwdriver with me. Actually, I just put it to use. Yeah, I'll explain later. Dad, I'm 17 going on 18. I'm quite capable of taking care of myself. I've been doing that since I was 12. You forget that I ran away from the orphanage and fended for myself for 12 freaking years. I'm not a little girl anymore, Dad. Stop treating me like one. Good bye." Then she hung up and stuck her phone in the back pocket of her jeans and sighed. She said: "sorry you had to hear that. My Dad freaked out because he couldn't find me on the TARDIS. He's afraid of losing me. I know why. When I was younger, I almost died. I was sick with an illness called Sepsis. Mom saved my life. She mixed her DNA with mine and saved my life. I'm a Time Lord. Like the rest of my family. So, what happened?" Clara said: "well, it's a long story." Lorelai crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow and said: "I've seen and heard just about everything there is to see and hear. What could possibly be worse?" Clara said: "first we got shot down. Then we were surrounded by those statues. The TARDIS is destroyed." Lorelai said: "let me see." The Doctor and Clara led her over to the remains of the TARDIS. Lorelai looked at the remains and grabbed her sonic screwdriver and stuck it in the back pocket of her jeans with her phone. Then Lorelai unbuckled the belt and unzipped her leather jacket and shrugged out of her leather jacket and handed it to Clara and said: "can you holding that for me please?" Clara took it and said: "sure." Then Lorelai stepped forward and raised her hands and closed her eyes and focused. Then a golden light came out of her hands. The Doctor and Clara watched in awe as the TARDIS was rebuilt board for board. Just then John scrambled up the incline and followed the golden light. He followed the golden light to its source and emerged into a clearing. John was stunned. And also worried. Finally the TARDIS was rebuilt. Lorelai lowered her hands and opened her eyes and said: "there. I also made it to where the TARDIS won't be damaged next time someone decides to take a shot at you two." Clara handed Lorelai's leather jacket back to her. Then the Doctor and Clara walked into the TARDIS and dematerialized. Then Lorelai shrugged into her leather jacket and zipped up and buckled the belt and stuck her sonic screwdriver in her jacket and turned around and said surprised: "Dad? But why did you come?" John walked over and said: "I was worried. I found the remains of whatever it was." Lorelai said: "oh. That. Yeah, those were weeping angel statues. I blasted them with my sonic screwdriver. How did you know which way I went?" John said: "I followed your footprints. Come here." Lorelai walked into his arms and tucked into his embrace. He sat down with her and held her close to him. She said: "I'm sorry I was harsh with you over the phone." John said gently: "shhhh. It's okay. I guess I'm a bit overprotective of you." Lorelai said: "Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore. You can't protect me forever." John held her close to him and said gently: "I know. I know. Come on. Let's go home." Then they stood. They didn't get very far. Suddenly out of nowhere, there was a flash of light and a shot. Lorelai cried out and fell to the ground. John knelt beside her and quickly looped one arm around his neck and placed his free hand on her middle and stood and supported her and ran with her down the incline, back through the woods, and into the TARDIS. He grabbed her sonic screwdriver and her phone and stuck them in his jacket pocket and got her to her room and opened the door and walked in and set her on the bed and sat down on the couch. He knew what was coming next. She looked at him and said in a pained voice: "Dad, help me." John said gently: "I can't, baby girl. I can't help you. It's going to be okay. It'll be painful. Don't try to fight it. I'm right here." Lorelai nodded and said in a pained voice: "close enough. Ah! Bloody hell this hurts." John chuckled and said drily: "welcome to my world." Lorelai said in a pained voice: "couldn't you have warned me that regeneration is painful?" John said drily: "yeah sorry. I didn't realize that this would happen. If I had realized that this would happen, I would have told you." Lorelai was about to speak when she began to glow from the inside out. It hurt him to hear her cry out in pain and not be able to do anything to help her. But he couldn't. He sighed and watched helplessly. When the golden glow faded, he looked at her. He waited to make sure she had fully regenerated. Nothing else happened. Then John stood and walked over and sat down on the bed beside her and gently brushed her hair out of her face. She stirred and came to and said: "that was incredibly painful. Now I know how you feel when you regenerate." John chuckled and said: "I know. It's not fun." Lorelai said: "okay, what do I look like?" John stood and helped her off the bed and made sure she was steady on her feet and led her over to a full length mirror. She said: "apparently I still have red hair, only a lighter shade of red." John said gently: "would you like to change your clothes?" Lorelai said: "yeah. That would be nice. Can you wait outside please?" John nodded and said gently: "of course. I can do that." Then John let go of her and walked out of her room and closed her door behind him and leaned against the wall. Meanwhile, she walked over to her dresser and grabbed a pair of navy blue slacks and a navy blue vest and closed the drawers and unbuckled the belt and unzipped her leather jacket and set it on the bed and put the navy blue vest on. Then she put the navy blue slacks on and tucked the vest into the slacks. Then Lorelai took off her converse sneakers and exchanged them for a pair of navy blue high heels. Then she hung her black leather jacket up and grabbed her navy blue leather jacket and shrugged into her navy blue leather jacket and zipped up and buckled the belt and slipped into the navy blue high heels and walked over and opened the door and walked out and closed the door behind her and looked over and smiled and walked over to John and said: "Hi Dad." John pushed off from the wall and said: "you look nice. Your Mom is still at the after party. You wanna go?" Lorelai nodded and said: "yeah. Where's my sonic screwdriver and phone?" John grabbed her sonic screwdriver and phone and said: "here. I took the liberty of grabbing these before you regenerated. I figured you wouldn't want them to get broken during the regeneration process." He handed her sonic screwdriver and phone to her. She said: "thanks. I appreciate that." Then she stuck her phone in her jacket as well as her sonic screwdriver and said: "come on. Let's go." Then they walked down the ramp and walked out of the TARDIS and walked to the after party. When they arrived, they found sheer chaos. John looked at Lorelai who looked at him and said: "sonic screwdrivers out. We're going in." Then John and Lorelai grabbed their sonic screwdrivers and flipped them on. Lorelai looked at him and said: "put yours on the highest setting. It'll blast those Daleks." Then John adjusted the settings on his and looked at her and nodded. Then they walked inside. Lorelai looked at him and said: "circle around. I'll distract them. They won't be expecting me to fight back." John nodded and said: "be careful." Lorelai smirked and said: "don't worry. I've got a plan. Now go." Then John circled around. Lorelai said: "Hey Daleks!" The Daleks turned around to face her. One of them aimed and fired. Lorelai was on the move. She was doing acrobatics, firing as she went. John took out a few of them. Mostly he was getting people to safety. Lorelai took out the Daleks. She smirked and flipped her sonic screwdriver off and stuck it in her leather jacket and ran off to find John. She found him and the others in a vacant room and ran in. She smirked and said: "those idiots didn't know what hit them." John said: "what was that that you did?" Lorelai smirked and said: "I made it hard for them to get a clear shot at me. Most of them shot each other. I just shot the ones that didn't get shot at by the other Daleks." Rose ran over to Lorelai and hugged her tight. Lorelai hugged her back. Then they pulled away. Rose said: "brilliant. Wait, you look different." John spoke up and said: "she regenerated. She got shot by a Dalek." Rose said: "are you okay?" Lorelai said: "I'm okay, Mom. Dad was with me when I was shot. We managed to make it back to the TARDIS before I regenerated. Dad was doing most of the walking. I was practically dead weight." John said: "I really was doing most of the walking. Lorelai could hardly walk without being in pain. She was practically dead weight." Lorelai said: "it was hard for me to walk without being in pain. I'm glad Dad decided to come after me when he did." John said: "it's a good thing I did. I'm glad I followed my instincts and come after you. If I hadn't, well, I don't want to think about what would have happened. I'm amazed I managed to get up the incline as fast as I did. Coming back down the incline was something of a challenge as well." Lorelai said: "is everyone okay?" Evelina said: "we're okay. We have a few people who got hit in the leg or arm during the chaos. But otherwise okay. Jack got hit in the shoulder." Lorelai said: "sorry this happened to you on your wedding day." Evelina chuckled and said: "it was bound to happen." Then John, Lorelai, and Rose walked out of the room. John said: "you really did some serious damage." Lorelai shrugged and said: "eh. I wonder who I got that from. Oh yeah, you."
