  "Wheeee!!" I yelled as he ran towards them. Doctor ran past my parents' house and skidded to a stop, turning around in the process.

  "You there!" I heard my father yell out. "Quit being so ignorant and childish and quiet down!" Doctor stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder.

  "Ready?" He asked. I nodded and he put me down onto the ground. I whipped my hair over my shoulder and scowled right at my parents.

  "Why, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson! Long time no see!" I said with a smile while walking towards them. They looked at each other and then back at me.

  "And you are...?" My mother asked. I faked a laugh.

  "Don't tell me you don't remember me!" They stood there silently. "I bet they remember." I said with a straight face while pointing at my niece and nephew. I strolled to the gate and kneeled down. I smiled.

  "Hey Marianne." I looked at my niece. I looked at my nephew. "'Sup Alex." When the children heard my voice, bursted with joy.

  "Auntie Em!" They yelled in unison pushing the gate open and tackling me with a hug. I closed my eyes and hugged them back. Without letting go, I looked up at my parents who were in complete shock. Their faces were absolutely priceless!

  "How did you-? Where did you-?" My parents said to themselves. I hushed them quickly. I stood up from the children and patted their heads as they hugged my legs.

  I looked down at the children. "Mari, Alex, you see that man over there?" I pointed at the Doctor. "He likes getting hugs. Grab on and don't let go." They laughed and ran to the Doctor.

  "Wait, what are you-" He was stopped mid-sentence by Marianne leaping onto him and hugging his waist. "Get off of me, children!" He said. I giggled and he scowled at me. "I'll get you for this!"

  "Yeah, sure you will!" I laughed and turned back to the abandoners, getting my game face back on. "You LEFT me! Your youngest child! I can't believe you just ran off without me, leaving me to defend myself! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW OLD I WAS?! SEVENTEEN, YEAH. I spent three long years working and working to keep an apartment that I could barely afford and feed myself off of my taxes refunds. I literally frikking STARVE myself to keep my shelter! I had to drop out of school to start working and I CAN'T EVEN GET INTO A COMMUNITY COLLEGE! You bastards should be ashamed of yourselves because you have just written in your souls that you BOTH are going TO HELL. See you there, parents."

  With that, I walked back to the Doctor to see him kneeled down next to the children, them both sitting on the street listening to him. I smiled and he looked up. He grinned too, gesturing for me to get closer. I walked towards them and sat down next to the Doctor.

  "What are you guys talking about?" I asked them lightly.

  "We are talking about the Time War. I'll explain later." Doctor smiled. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Plus I had to avert their attention from you yelling your head off." I nodded.

  "That's nice. Well children, you guys can go back to play with grandma and grandpa." They stood up and Marianne stepped up and took the Doctor's hand and my hand in hers.

  "Are you guys dating?" The seven year old asked as she connected our hands. I flung my hand back to my body; the Doctor doing the same.

"No, no. No, no." I said ushering them both to the gate. "You have quite an imagination there, Mari." I kissed Marianne's forehead then Alex's. "You dudes be careful. I love you."

  "We love you, too, Auntie." They hugged me one last time before running into the gates and back into the house. My parents were still outside though.

  "Go on," I said. "Get lost." I made a pretty rude hand gesture to them before they rushed after their grand children. I went back to the Doctor and hugged his body. I cried into his chest and he rubbed my back.

  "Shh, it's okay. It's okay. The truth hurts, but I'm sure it hurt them more than you." He said calmly. "Come on, I need to show you something." Dazed, I nodded as he laid a hand on my back to guide me to the TARDIS.
