Brenna looked back or a second to make sure they had actually evaded the man. She was disappointed that they had.
"They're getting better at noticing, you know," Brenna said to Will. He just nodded as they stopped to catch their breath.

Clara grinned, but pulled away. "Oh, come on. We deserve a break. How long have we been working now?"
"Let's see, I think it's been 6 years," James said as he went to nuzzle her neck.
"And how many times have we been shot at, kidnapped, or died?" Clara asked, letting him try to distract her.
James stopped and thought about it. "Well, last I checked, we've been shot at at least every day for the past month, we've been kidnapped twice each, you've died twice and I haven't died at all."
Clara felt him pause and pulled back a bit to look into his eyes. "I think we are long overdue for a vacation, don't you?"

"Well, I live in Toronto Ontario with my brother Riley. This is the first trip he let me go on alone. We're very tight and he's protective of me. Where are you from, originally?" she asked. Now it was her turn to be curious.

Ally thought for a minute.
"There is this one little town near my home...city. It's very beautiful. It's called Taraso. It has the best little shops and a huge forest in the back, but best of all there is a little hotel there that I stayed in when I was there. It had a room that I stayed in every time that had black and silver wall paper in beautiful designs. I sat and read books in there on rainy days." She gushed.
The only good place she remembered on her home planet was the town of Taraso. Her only good memories from Roland were from that town.

"Yeah, I know," Will said. "Let's go home, alright?"
Brenna nodded.

James looked into her eyes for a second, then sighed and nodded. "Alright."
Clara smiled, childishly happy, and kissed his forehead. "Come on, let's go. The TARDIS is ready to go and we're already packed."
She quickly tried to get up off his lap to go to her TARDIS, but he held on. "You assumed I would say yes?" James asked as he raised an eyebrow at her.

Cait smirked again. "Nope. For the first time I have an advantage over you, I'm not going to give that up."
Cayden frowned a bit, his ears tucked back in mock sadness. "You're not playing fair."
"Oh, you should talk. How many times have you cheated to get what you wanted?" Cait said sorely in reply as he turned around with a huff.

Melissa looked at Lexi again.
"So you are in New York City all by yourself?" Melissa asked, very concerned for this girl.
She then paused a while before responding to Lexi's question.
"I'm originally from Indiana, but my family moved to Ohio when I was 12," she answered.

The Doctor looked back at the woman, a confused expression displayed on his face. He looked as though he was deep in thought, which he was.
"Taraso....Taraso.....where have I heard of that town? Think.....think....." he thought to himself.
Not being able to come up with where he had heard of that before, he looked over at her and asked the question.
"Where is Taraso? I think I've heard of it, but I can't remember where."
He assumed that it was some town on Earth, though he couldn't be certain. If the town wasn't on Earth....then it must have been on another planet. He knew that there were humans who lived on other planets, and some had even used time travel. There was the Time Travel Agency -- perhaps she was a member of that. It wouldn't be the first time that he had run into an Agent, or an Ex-Agent.

Brenna and Will climbed up to the abandoned flat that was their home, for now. As soon as they caught whiff that someone was going to move in, they'd relocate to another one. This flat didn't have much too it. There were various items that they had "collected" and would later sell. Then there was Brenna's book collection: a stack about a foot high of various titles. Most were fiction, some were educational, and one was a copy of the dictionary.
Brenna and Will quickly emptied their pockets on the small makeshift table. They scored a good haul today, and they quickly began to enjoy it.

Clara looked at James, feeling a bit guilty. "Well, yeah. I mean..." She looked down, pouting that he was upset with her.
James took one of his hands and lifted up her chin. "You know me too well, that's all. It gets a bit disappointing when you know what I'm going to say before I say it." He looked into her eyes trying to find the right words that would make her feel better.
Clara smiled weakly. "I'm sorry. It's just, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I think you'd really enjoy it."

"Interesting." She said nodding.
While flipping the book over in her hand several times Lexi answered her question.
"I am 18. I know I look a lot younger, a lot of people tell me, but I am completely capable of taking care of myself." She informed Melissa. Looking back down at the book.

What should I say? Ally thought, I can't just tell him I'm an alien from another planet! He'll think I'm mad!
"Umm...well...Far away from here. No where in Europe." she said nervously. She brought her hand out from behind her back, and started to rub the black 'tattoo' (which would normally be silver if she were in her original form and it were in use) that made her entirely not human.

Brenna was the first to finish, and she put the longer-lasting food in a box when Will was finished. She quickly went over to her stack of books, sat down, and found her newest edition to the collection. She opened it up and began to read.
Will watched her read and smiled a bit. Her thirst for knowledge was staggering, and the fact that she was willing to steal more in order to satisfy it was... well, interesting, he guessed was the word he wanted to use.

James smiled and moved his hand to Clara's cheek, feeling her cool inhuman skin. "Don't worry so much."
Clara could tell what he wanted and she leaned forward to make it easier for him to have it before they left, bringing her lips closer to his.
James smiled a bit before kissing her. He didn't care that she was a different species, he loved her too much to care. She could actually have green skin and purple eyes and he wouldn't care. He loved her and she loved him and that was all that mattered.

"Oh, I get it...she thinks that I view her as a child....well I guess I better clear that up," Melissa thought to herself.
"Well, I know that my being from the midwest in the United States can't sound that interesting....I mean, it's a pretty common place. But I did want to tell you that I didn't say what I did because I thought of you as a child. Rather, New York is a very big city. Before I came here, I was scared. I didn't know anyone, but it made it easier because my family came with me to help me move in. I wouldn't have wanted to come here on my own. Yes, there is a lot to do, but at the same time, there is also more opportunity for crime here. These days it can be dangerous for a woman to travel by herself anywhere. I always try to be careful when I'm out by myself -- like today. I certainly wouldn't go anywhere by myself at night. Can I ask you -- where are you staying?"
She thought for a moment and then added, "I also wanted to tell you that I don't look down on you. Most people think that I'm younger than I actually am as well."

The Doctor could tell that the young woman was nervous -- in fact, very nervous by his question.
He noticed the movement of her hand, and he saw how she rubbed a certain tattoo on the back of it. He looked at it, not recognizing it at first. It seemed to symbolize something. It didn't look like a normal tattoo that humans got, though. The tattoo seemed familiar, though; he felt as if he should know what it was.
"Is it possible that she's not human?" he thought to himself. There was only one way to find out -- he'd have to ask her straight out.
"That tattoo that you have on your hand there is unique. I must say I've never seen anything like it, which causes me to wonder....are you human?"

After a few moments, Will stood up and headed for the door. Brenna looked up from her book at the sound of his bare feet moving across the floor.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
Will looked back and smiled a bit. "I told Richie that I'd look for something for him. It shouldn't take long, I'll be right back."
Brenna nodded and watched him go through the door.

Clara pulled away from him after a while to give him some air. "Come on, we've got a date with Lady Liberty."
James smiled and patted her side to tell her that he couldn't get up with her sitting on his lap. She then stood up, and so did he, and they both headed for the wardrobe that wasn't a wardrobe.

Lexi nodded.
"I understand totally. I've lived in downtown Toronto for as long as I can remember, it can be very dangerous, especially at night."
"It's okay, I get it." she said smiling.

(It's okay, I think him knowing now would actually make things more interesting actually, not a bad idea!)
"Well, not really no." Ally said looking at the Doctor. "W-what kind of traveler did you say you were?" she asked.
She didn't know how this man could know she was an alien. Ever since she had moved t Earth she hadn't met anyone who was or knew of aliens.

Melissa, glad to see that Lexi had not taken offense, looked back at her and then said.
"Where are you staying? If you don't mind my asking....do you have friends here?"

The Doctor nodded, and then replied gently, "I didn't think so...."
He smiled. He could tell that she was still nervous.
"Ah...and I did not tell you what kind of traveler I am. Very good. I'm a time traveler -- that is, I travel in time and space."

As they approached the door to the antique dogwood wardrobe, James opened the door and offered a hand to help Clara inside. She took it and stepped into her TARDIS, the inside looking like it was all made of blue and purple crystal. This was the Midnight theme, and she quite liked it.
James soon followed and looked around. He had been in here before, but even now, it still amazed him that it was bigger on the inside that it was on the outside.
Clara guided him to the console. "See, I've got it fixed! All working now." She tried to kick away the schematics that littered the floor, she wanted him to think that she did it all herself.

NY 1889
Will clambored over the rooftops, looking down to the city streets below. No one really took the time to notice people on the roofs of these buildings, so it was an advantageous perch. It was then that he thought he heard something... a strange noise. No one else seemed to have noticed it, so he shrugged it off at first... but it persisted... He looked in the direction it came from and went to look for the source.
Brenna had followed him. She had gotten quite good at following Will without his knowing, as well as leaving him without is knowing.

"I am staying at the Carlton Hotel on Jameson, just a few minutes from here. I don't have any friends here, I just came because New York has always fascinated me. And I thought that I could use some time away from Toronto." she said smiling.

"Really? That sounds ... interesting. I'm a Reivati. I ran away from my parents on Roland. They were trying to control my life, and they didn't love me. I could tell. I decided to travel the universe. This is my first stop." Ally said smiling.
"I'm Ally by the way. Ally Spin." she said holding out her hand.

Melissa, somewhat familiar with the hotel that Lexi was referring to, felt a little better when she heard that her friend was staying there.
"That's a fairly safe hotel -- just be careful. I don't want to sound paranoid or anything, but things DO happen in this city," Melissa replied.

He smiled at her, seeing that she had relaxed some.
"Yep," he replied. "So you are a Reivati from Roland.....oh that's right! I knew I heard of that city before!" he said excitedly.
He then looked back at her, almost sadly.
"You shouldn't have run away from your parents -- you never know how long they will be around. Often, parents are trying to do what they think is in the best interest of their child because they love them. But I won't blame you for doing that. I ran away too....and for similar reasons, only it wasn't my parents who were doing the controlling."
He paused for a moment -- "Don't say that -- you don't know that your parents didn't love you."
However, he didn't want to press her. After all, he too had originally ran away from his home planet.
"If you are traveling the universe, then I assume you have a ship of some kind?"
The Doctor looked to her hand and extended his own.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Ally. I'm the Doctor -- just the Doctor."
