What happened next?

It took about 5 minutes for the penny to drop for Pete after I basically laid it out on a plate for him. For the head of a secret organisation often responsible for the safetly of the world we live in the man can be a terrible berk sometimes.

"Another Timelord?"

I clapped. "Do you want a lolly?"

"But that's impossible....what if it's..."

"What?"

"No, it can't be him...could it, is that possible... I mean Rose said they can change. It can't be... nooooooo."

"I have no idea what you're on about Pete."

"Do you think they knew?"

"Who?"

"Rose, the Doctor. Maybe that's why they ran off."

"Surely it's a good thing?" I pressed, "The Doctor's a legend after all."

"Didn't the Doctor tell you about the others?"

"The Timelords?"

"A little, not much, he says it was 'another lifetime ago'."

"Well from what I hear, they're not all house trained like our friend."

"You mean we should keep them off the sofas?"

"No I mean we should probably do our best to keep them off the planet. He must have known."

"Well he did say she smelled funny."

It was about at that point in the conversation Sonia appeared with her mobile phone in hand.

"It's Rose." She said, "Don't worry it's secure. She wants to come pick up Sam."
