"Let's take him back," Abbie suggested, "It'll only take a second."

"Little Boy," Prince humoured the idea, "Where do you live? Where are your parents?"

"I don't have any," he whimpered, "My daddy just died in a fire."

"And your mommy?" Abbie stroked his hair softly.

"She died when I was little," the boy wiped tears from his eyes with his arm.

"Oh, don't do that," Prince cringed, pulling a hanky from his pocket and kneeling down to wipe the little boy's face, "Do you have a name, Kid?"

"Ace," he replied.

"Ace," Prince gave him a big smile, "Well... That's just a glamorous name! We couldn't possibly let someone with such a name go back on their own. What do you think, Abigail?"

"I think we need to talk, Prince," Abbie sighed, making him stand up, quickly, as she rose to her feet, slowly. She stepped away from the curious child and looked him straight in the eyes.

"What's the matter, Abigail?" he questioned, concerned.

"It was fun to go on that little trip with you, Prince," she sighed, "But I have to get home... Now."

"Oh..." Prince's face dropped, "You can't even go on one more adventure?"

"No," she insisted.

"Alright," he swallowed, "Well... It's been Glamourous, Abigail Brooks... Maybe someday... I'll see you, again?"

"Hopefully," she gave a week smile. Prince flipped a switch and then offered her a hug, which she took.

"Good-bye, Prince," she called, once out the door, "Ace." The little boy waved, a little confused on what was going on. Abbie stepped out of the TARDIS and Prince ran to the door after her.

"I'll be back, Abigail Brooks!" he cried, "You can bet on it!"

She turned back once reaching the school and waved at the disappearing red police box.

"I'll be waiting for you, Prince..." she smiled, calmly, "Good-bye."
