"Peter Alan Tyler my dad. The most wonderful man in the world. Born 15th September 1954. The day that Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clarke got married. He was always having adventures." I sat on the seat near the console listening to Rose. She had started to tell us about her father she had just entered the console room and had began to tell us about him. "That's what Mum always says. So I was thinking, could we, could we go and see my dad when he was still alive?" I looked to the Doctor who looked at Rose with an eye brow raised. 

"Where's all this come from, all of a sudden?" 

"All right then, if we can't, if it goes against the laws of times or something, then never mind, just leave it" Rose looks away sheepishly. 

"Rose, I think the Doctor's more worried about you then being able to do it, right Doctor?" I ask turning to him.

"Effie's right" He agrees with me.

"I want to see him." Rose says determined, the Doctor smiles to Rose. 

"Your wish is my command. But be careful what you wish for." 

***********************

Myself, the Doctor and Rose sat on a long bench at the back of a wedding getting married was Rose's parents. The registrar stood at the front in front of Peter and Jackie. 

"I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline Angela Suzette Prentice"  

"I, Peter Alan Tyler, take you, Jacqueline Suzanne-... Suzette Anita" Peter stumbles over Jackie's full name looking to the registrar for help but Jackie rolls her eyes playfully. 

"Oh, just carry on. It's good enough for Lady Di." I chuckled at this along with most of the people in room. 

"I thought he'd be taller." I heard Rose mutter.  

"To be my lawful wedded wife, to love and behold till death us do part." The registrar finished.

***************************

"Mum wasn't there. Nobody was. It was a hit and run driver. Never found out who. He was dead when the ambulance got there. She had only wished there'd been someone there for him." I sighed my eyes turning blue as Rose took a shaky breath looking up to the Doctor. "I want to be that someone, so he doesn't die alone." I look to the Doctor who at first looked a bit reluctant but started moving around the console looking to Rose asking.

"November the 7th?"  

"1987." Rose nodded. I looked to the time rotor as it started to power up my eyes turning orange having a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

****************************

As we exited the TARDIS I looked around to see we were on a street between a telephone junction box and a road sign. I stand by the road as Rose and the Doctor join me.

"It's so weird. The day my father died. I thought it'd be all sort of grim and stormy. It's just an ordinary day." I look to her giving her a comforting smile.

"We always think of the worst days as that, the worst days we could imagine. But it usually is never that, it's just a normal day" I sigh feeling my eyes change to blue and the Doctor gently grab my hand comfortingly. He then looked to Rose asking.

"Are you sure about this?" I grabbed her hand reassuringly and she looked from me to the Doctor nodding.

"Yeah." 

*******************************

"This is it. Jordan Road. He was late. He'd been to get a wedding present, a vase. Mum always said, that stupid vase." I see a small green car coming from the corner and parking at the side of the road. "He got out of his car." Peter then stepped out of his car grabbing the vase. "And crossed the road." I hear a car coming closer and closer and my breathing hitched in my throat as I heard Rose. "Oh, God. This is it." Suddenly a beige car comes speeding around the corner and just as I hear the impact and cover my face with my arm feeling tears fall down my face I still don't look when I hear Doctor speak to Rose. 

"Go to him, quick." I don't hear anything but footsteps disappearing. Thoughts hit me of my parents, having never found out anything about them I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to them. If they were alive or dead? and if they were alive why had they given her up for adoption?. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the Doctor gently pulling me around the corner to where Rose was sat on the floor crying I sat next to her and the Doctor sat the other side. I sit up when I heard sirens approaching.

"It's too late now. By the time the ambulance got there, he was dead. He can't die on his own. Can I try again?" Doctor looks very reluctant even more so then last time but he takes her back in time to just before Rose from before ran away we look to see our past-self's by the sidewalk. The Doctor looks to Rose informing her.  

"Right, that's the first you and me. It's a very bad idea, two sets of us being here at the same time. Just be careful they don't see us. Wait till she runs off and he follows, then go to your dad." Peter parks his car again and I hear Rose say.

"Oh, God. This is it." The present Rose looks at the scene again.

"I can't do this." She mummers. 

"You don't have to do anything you don't want to, but this is the last time we can be here." The Doctor lets her know. Without either me or the Doctor being able to react Rose runs forward as the beige car comes speeding around the corner, my eyes turning yellow. 

"Rose! No!" Myself and the Doctor yell. Rose pushes past our earlier self's and pushes her father out of the way of danger I notice that the vase rolls away not broken like the first time the earlier versions of us vanish making my eyes go orange. I turn to the Doctor with worry in my eyes.

"This is not good is it?" I saw the dark look the Doctor was giving Rose but when he looked at me it vanished.

"Very not good Effie" He placed a hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me but not working as I saw the dark look he gave Rose when Peter pointed to us.

**************************

"Right, there we go. Sorry about the mess. If you want a cup of tea, the kitchens just down there, milk's in the fridge. Well, it would be, wouldn't it. Where else would you put the milk? Mind you, there's always the window sill outside. I always thought if someone invented a window sill with special compartments, you know, one for milk, one for yogurt, make a lot of money out of that. Sell it to students and things. I should write that down. Anyway, never mind that, excuse me for a minute. Got to go and change." Pete then leaves the room I look around but couldn't feel at ease with the look the Doctor was giving Rose. I understood and agreed what she did was stupid but this look was making me scared of him. I looked to Rose as she looked through the stuff on the floor.

"All the stuff mum kept. His stuff. She kept it all packed away in boxes in the cupboard. She used to show me when she'd had a bit to drink. Here it is, on display. Where it should be. Third prize at the bowling. First two got to go to Didcot. Health drinks. Tonics, mum used to call them. He made his money selling this Vitex stuff. He had all sorts of jobs. He was so clever. Solar power. Mum said he was going to do this. Now he can." She then finally noticed the dark look on the Doctor's face. "Okay, look I'll tell him you're not my boyfriend." The Doctor leaned on the door frame still glaring at Rose. 

"When we met, I said travel with me in space. You said no. Then I said time machine." My eyes widened at this them turning yellow.

"Rose, please tell me you didn't do this on purpose?" I asked shocked and sad. 

"No Effie, I swear it wasn't some big plan. I just saw it happening and I thought, I can stop it." I still gave her a look of shock. 

"I did it again. I picked another stupid ape. I should've known." My eyes turned blue at this is that how he saw me? True I wasn't exactly a normal human but I was still more or less human. "It's not about showing you the universe. It never is. It's about the universe doing something for you."

"So it's okay when you go to other times, and you save people's lives, but not when it's me saving my dad." Rose asked glaring I stood near the door way looking back between the two I never liked it when people fought so this was just scaring me beyond belief. I covered my ears with my hands, and yes you may think I am acting like a child even though I'm 16 but all this arguing did was remind me of my failed adopted families who were worse then living at the orphanage. I took deep breaths trying to block them out unaware that tears had started falling down my cheeks. 

"I know what I'm doing, you don't. Two sets of us being there made that a vulnerable point."

"But he's alive!" 

"My entire planet died. My whole family. Do you think it never occurred to me to go back and save them?" I pushed harder to block them out just wanting the fighting to stop I've never seen them this angry at each other they were always so friendly and the only times I've seen them angry was when people were evil or mean to me or to each other. 

"What, would you rather him dead?" When I heard this I snapped not being able to hear this anymore.

"STOP IT!" I yelled making them both jump looking at me in shock. "Just stop arguing! Rose what you did was wrong!" She looked at me in shock and annoyance I wasn't on her side. "No, don't try and argue! You can't just go around changing history just cause you want your dad in your life! At least you had a mum! I didn't have a mum or a dad!" I then turned to the Doctor tears still falling down my face. "And you!" He looked almost scared at what I could say. "What do you think arguing is going to accomplish?! Nothing!" I rubbed my face and took a deep breath. "Look I know and understand what she did was wrong but instead of yelling and berating her why not teach her what she did wrong?!" At this they both lowered their heads in shame I shuck my head and headed for the door. "I'm waiting outside" I said over my shoulder. I sat outside of the flat my eyes still blue as I put my head on my knees trying to cry quietly. I jumped slightly when I felt a hand on my back I looked up to see a sad looking Doctor. 

"Effie, I'm sorry about what happened in there" I rubbed my eyes looking at him moving to stand up. "Your right about what you said in there I shouldn't of been treating Rose that way" I suddenly sprung and wrapped my arms around him hugging him I felt his arms around me hugging me back.

"I'm sorry too, I just don't like it when people argue like that it reminds me of the house's I used to live in" he looked down at me questioningly.

"Your adopted parents used to argue around you?" I looked down worriedly. 

"Only the foster parents and they were usually arguing about me. About if they should give me back or not" I felt him hug me more tighter trying to comfort me.

"Did anything else happen?" I don't look at him at this looking down tears rising. He sighs and says gently. "We'll talk about this later, okay?" I nod at this. We then walk towards the TARDIS the Doctor explaining how he was letting Rose have a few minutes with her dad before leaving. But as we get to the TARDIS the inside of it had gone it was now just a small blue box. The Doctor looked to the church before running I ran after him before catching up with him I saw Rose standing on the sidewalk near the church.  

"Rose! Get in the church!" The Doctor yells suddenly a large bat-like demon appears above Rose it hisses and starts to swoop at Rose despite my eyes being bright orange I charge forward and push Rose to the floor just in time to avoid it's hit. I stand up and yell to the other people.

"Get in the church!" Two more of the bat creatures above us as we all start running to the church the groom's father tries to run away but one of the creatures leaps on him eating him. 

**********************************

I hold my hands on my knees taking deep breaths as the Doctor slams the door on the creatures but I can still hear them flying around outside. 

"They can't get in. Old windows and doors. Okay. The older something is, the stronger it is." The Doctor reassures us. "What else? Go and check the other doors! Move!" Jackie walks up to him asking. 

"What's happening? What are they? What are they?" 

"There's been an accident in time. A wound in time. They're like bacteria, taking advantage." The Doctor explains. 

"What do you mean, time? What're you jabbering on about, time?" I roll my eyes at her we did not have time for this. 

"Oh, I might've known you'd argue. Jackie, I'm sick of you complaining." 

"How do you know my name?" I finally speak up complaining.

"Can we please cover that later we don't have time right now" Jackie slightly glares at me making me flinch back.

"No, I've never met him in my life!" The Doctor gets more angry at the fact that she made me flinch. 

"No, and you never will unless I sort this out. Now, if you don't mind, I've waited a long time to say this. Jackie Tyler, do as I say. Go and check the doors!" 

"Yes, sir." 

"I should have done that ages ago." He smirked making me chuckle. The groom walked up to me and the Doctor.

"My dad was out there." I looked at him sadly my eyes turning blue.

"I'm so sorry" I said placing my hand on his arm he smiled sadly at me in a thanks. 

"You can mourn him later. Right now we've got to concentrate on keeping ourselves alive." Doctor said making me glare at him slightly.

"Rude." I whisper to him I saw him roll his eyes at me playfully.  

"My dad had-" The groom continued but the Doctor cut him off. 

"There's nothing I can do for him."  

"No, but he had this phone thing. I can't get it to work. I keep getting this voice." The groom handed the Doctor the large phone and the Doctor put it it his ear. 

"That's the very first phone call. Alexander Graham Bell. I don't think the telephone's going to be much use." He said with a small smile. 

"But someone must have called the police." The groom argued. 

"Police can't help you now. No one can. Nothing in this universe can harm those things. Time's been damaged and they've come to sterilise the wound. By consuming everything inside." My eyes turned orange and I watched as Rose stepped forward with a guilty look.

"Is this because....? Is this my fault?" The Doctor just didn't answer and walked away I saw Rose's eyes water and I placed my hand on her arm. She looked down at me and I gave her a comforting smile as I walked away to find the Doctor looking out of the windows. Stuart, the groom, and Sarah, the bride, walked up to us Stuart speaking up.

"Excuse me, Mister" The Doctor turned around to them.

"Doctor." He then nodded towards me. "And that's Effie" I smiled when he introduced me as I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall.  

"You seem to know what's going on." Stuart carried on. 

"He does give that impression, doesn't he." I said. "But saying that will just inflate his ego" I said smirking and the Doctor smirking back before the Doctor could say anything back Stuart cut back in.  

"I just wanted to ask" 

"Can you save us?" Sarah asked clearly scared. 

"Who are you two, then?" The Doctor asked. 

"Stuart Hoskins." 

"Sarah Clark." I noticed Sarah's belly and smiled slightly. 

"And you've got a baby on the way? Boy or girl? Or do you not want to know?" Sarah smiled and held her belly.

"I don't know. I don't want to know, really." I smiled at this.

"How did all this get started?" The Doctor asked with a raised eyebrow.  

"Outside the Beatbox Club, two in the morning." Stuart started. 

"Street corner. I'd lost my purse, didn't have money for a taxi." Added into the story my head back and forth between the two listening to the story. 

"I took her home." 

"Then what? Asked her for a date?" The Doctor asked. 

"Wrote his number on the back of my hand." My smile grew and I couldn't help but think of how my parents met I would always imagine them as these amazing people who grew up as best friends and then fell in love, but then through unforeseen events weren't able to keep me but would try to one day find me no matter what. But as I grew up my faith in that story diminished every year that I never learnt anything about my parents.

"Never got rid of her since. My dad said." He stopped suddenly looking down sadly I looked at him with a comforting smile. 

"I don't know what this is all about, and I know we're not important." Sarah said. 

"Who said you're not important? I've traveled to all sorts of places, done things you couldn't even imagine, but you two. Street corner, two in the morning, getting a taxi home. I've never had a life like that. Yes. I'll try and save you." I smiled at the Doctor after he finished looking back outside.

****************************

Myself and the Doctor were sat in the choir stalls I held baby Rose smiling at her as she looked up to me mesmerized by my eyes changing to rainbows when the Doctor made me laugh. The Doctor held baby Rose's hand talking to her in baby talk.

"Now, Rose you're not going to bring about the end of the world, are you? Are you?" I smiled at him as the present day Rose walks up to us. 

"Jackie gave her to me to look after. How times change." I smirk at this and rock the baby gently back and forth. Rose sits down next to us trying to lighten the mood by saying.

"I'd better be careful. I think I just imprinted myself on Mickey like a mother chicken." She saw the baby in my hands and went to touch her when the Doctor roughly grabbed her wrist. 

"No. Don't touch the baby. You're both the same person. That's a paradox, and we don't want a paradox happening, not with these things outside. Anything new, any disturbance in time makes them stronger. The paradox might let them in." I winced at the way he held her wrist almost a bit to agressivly, Rose snatched her hand back asking.

"Can't do anything right, can I?" 

"Since you ask, no. So, don't. Touch. The. Baby." The Doctor says condesendingly at her making her glare at him snapping back. 

"I'm not stupid."  

"You could have fooled me." At this I nudge the Doctor in his side making him look towards me seeing the orange and blue growing in my eyes he sighs and comfortingly rubs my back. " All right, I'm sorry. I wasn't really going to leave you on your own. But between you two and me, I haven't got a plan. No idea. No way out." I look at him and smile.

"Don't worry you always think of something" he gave me a kind smile before carrying on.

"The entire Earth's been sterilised. This, and other place like it, are all that's left of the human race. We might hold out for a while, but nothing can stop those creatures. They'll get through in the end. The walls aren't that old. And there's nothing I can do to stop them. There used to be laws stopping this kind of thing from happening. My people would have stopped this. But they're all gone. And now I'm going the same way." Rose looked like tears were pricking at her eyes.

"If I'd realised-" 

"Just tell me you're sorry." The Doctor cut her off.

"I am. I'm sorry." I smile as I see them hug when Rose quickly moved back.

"Have you got something hot?" The Doctor reaches into his inside pocket and pulls out a TARDIS key that glowing orange. I place baby Rose in her basket and look at the key. 

"Isn't that the TARDIS key?" I ask the Doctor as he takes off his jacket and picks up the key he turns to me and explains whilst smiling.

"It's telling me it's still connected to the Tardis." The Doctor runs to the front of the room addressing the entire room. "The inside of my ship was thrown out of the wound but we can use this to bring it back. And once I've got my ship back, then I can mend everything. Now, I just need a bit of power. Has anybody got a battery?" Stuart quickly picks up his dad's phone and holds it up.

"This one big enough?" The Doctor grabbed it smiling.

"Fantastic. Just need to do a bit of charging up and then we can bring everyone back." He pulls out his sonic screwdriver as he begins to work I walk towards him but jump my eyes turning orange and yellow as one of the creates bangs on the door. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see the Doctor giving me a comforting smile. I watch intently as the Doctor works on the key when I suddenly see the TARDIS begin to materalise around the key. "Right, no one touches that key. Have you got that? Don't touch it. Anyone touches that key, it'll be, well, zap. Just leave it be and everything will be fine. We'll get out of here. All of us. Stuart, Sarah you're going to get married, just like I said." I smile at this my eyes turning rainbow at this news Rose walks up towards me beginning to ask.

"When time gets sorted out-"

"Everybody here forgets what happened. And don't worry, the thing that you changed will stay changed." I hadn't noticed but Pete had walked up to us next to Rose opposite to me. 

"You mean I'll still be alive, though I'm meant to be dead. That's why I haven't done anything with my life, why I didn't mean anything." I look towards him.

"That's not true everyone means something even if they don't do something incredible everyone matters immensely to someone else" He looks to me giving me a small smile.

"Thanks love but in this case I'm so useless I couldn't even die properly. Now it's my fault all of this has happened." Rose looks towards her dad shaking her head. 

"This is my fault." Pete smiled at Rose.

"No, love. I'm your dad. It's my job for it to be my fault." Jackie stormed up to us her anger making me slink back my eyes turning orange but I felt the Doctor place a comforting hand on my back.

"Her dad? How are you her dad? How old were you, twelve? Oh, that's disgusting."  

"Jacks, listen. This is Rose." Pete said clearly trying to resit rolling his eyes. 

"Rose? How sick is that? You give my daughter a second hand name? How many are there? Do you call them all Rose?" 

"Oh, for God's sake, look. It's the same Rose!" Pete takes baby Rose from Jackie and hands her to our Rose my eyes go yellow and orange as I look up to see one of the creatures the Doctor pulls us behind him yelling.

"Everyone, behind me! I'm the oldest thing in here." I still don't know why I did what I did but I knew that the world needed the Doctor more then they needed me. Rose definitely needed the Doctor way more then she did me. So I ran and threw myself in front of the Doctor the last thing I heard was Rose and the Doctor yelling my name in fear. As I opened my eyes I saw I was in a white plain nothing around me I spun around scared not knowing where I was when I heard a woman's voice behind me.

"Hello, Effie" I spun around and saw a tall woman she wore a beautiful dress and had long hair that went from a light purple to a blue but the thing I noticed about her was her eyes. They seemed to have stars in her eyes she smiled at me kindly it almost looked like she was trying to not cry.

(Woman in white plains outfit minus the bag and phone case)

I raised an eye brow at her. "W-who are you?" She smiled at me again trying not to cry.

"I'm your- Effie I'm your mum" my eyes widened at this my eyes turning yellow but this made her smile even more. "I see you took after me with your eyes. But you definitely have your fathers face" 

"Wait is my- is my dad here?" She smiled. 

"No, he's still alive and out there" This made me smile. "Yep, I was right. You have his smile" The plain suddenly was starting to get brighter. "My little Effie your going back but don't worry I'll always be with you" I run to her and hug her and as I feel her hug back I start to wake up. 

When I open my eyes I look down the road to see Pete in the street Rose kneeling next to him my eyes turn blue but when I see the Doctor I run up to him and wrap my arms around him, him returning the gesture.

"I saw my mum" He looked down at me shocked.

"What?" 

"Where I went to after the creature got me she told me my dad was still alive" I saw him smile making me smile back. After Rose said goodbye to her dad we walked back to the TARDIS where I told the Doctor about my foster homes. They weren't all bad but the worst ones were the ones that hid me away from the world by locking me in my room and making sure I kept in line by scaring me with violence or threatening to sell me to scientists. At hearing this the Doctor and Rose wanted to go and find these people but I assured them that I had moved on from them and how I was just happy that I was living with them. But in the back of my mind I couldn't help but smile at the thought that my dad was alive and that he was out there. Somewhere.
