"I know it was wrong of me to keep this from you. But I was so scared you'd read this and it somehow helped you find your real mum. Then I'll never see you again."

London, England April 2006
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE RARE SUNNY DAYS IN LONDON, and half of the city seemed to be enjoying the nice day at the very place Jackie took Lily. It was packed with families and their children and even elderly couples taking their afternoon strolls. Lily enjoyed seeing them live their lives. Life in the TARDIS can make you start dislocating yourself from reality, an issue Lily understood long before she met the Doctor. It felt nice to come back to a place where she had so many fond memories.
Lily sat at one of the many outside tables the ice cream stand provided for its customers. They started going to this park a bit after her dad died- now older, Lily thinks it was for her mum to get a little time out of the house that probably still had all his inventions and investments cluttered inside.
The park was a three-minute walk from their building and, including the ice cream stand, had a hotdog stand, many different kinds of playground equipment, a splash pad, and various sports courts. The white wired tall table Lily was at sat on a slab of pavement right beside the stand, where Jackie had been in argument with its cashier for the last two minutes.
She ultimately gave up and took the two cups of ice cream, returning to Lily. "I swear, these people." She commented, putting down the ice cream on the table before taking her seat across from Lily.
"What was it this time?" Lily held back a chuckle as she moved to take the cup closest to her which matched the other cup -pink and white striped with the business's logo and came with a small pink, plastic spoon.
