Okay, I'm so insanely sorry for not updating this story in like… forever, but I've seriously had so much work to do that I've barely had time for sleep (five and a half hours is usually all that I can get). Thank you guys so much for reading even though I wasn't updating. It really reminded me that there are things that I can do and enjoy in my free time. So without any further ado, here you go.

Previously:

"What are we doing now?" I had to ask the question that was on both of our minds. Both of us knew that we would stick together for at least a while (hopefully longer) but what we were going to do with that time is what matters. And for once I didn't care so much about finding my father. It was jack, and that was it. That was all that my world was right now. I'm not too familiar with feelings, but as I looked into his eyes, I knew that he and I were on the same page. I loved him.

Jack held my face in between his hands so that I couldn't look anywhere but his eyes, and said, "We go looking for trouble."

I smiled and grabbed his hands in from my face so that I could lean in and give him one sweet little kiss.

Continued:

I knew that being a time lord and my father's daughter meant two things: I was very intelligent and always thinking, and I never stopped talking. But in that moment, I must have been human because my brain was mush and I was silent. In fact if I hadn't been held still between Jack's sturdy hands, I probably would've gotten dizzy.

He waited for any kind of response from me, but there wasn't one. I just stood there with a bad case of bedhead and my head cocked to the side in a stupid-like expression that partially consisted of a tiny little smile not meant for really anyone but me. I couldn't even see anything close to feeling in the haze. It was like my emotions had literally overwhelmed me so much that there was no way to express them. They were too big.

I kept still and waited for the unprocessed emotions to actually reach my head so that I would be able to even comprehend how extremely happy I was at that moment. My hearts were beating in a quick and strong beat of four about to jump out of my chest. Maybe my mind was too stupid to understand what just went on, but my body definitely was.

I reached up slowly with my hand and ran my fingers through his thick, soft hair in a cute little mess on top of his head. I figured that I would just have to let my gut tell me what to do and just let my mind go off for a little vacation.

Jack might have sensed my weakness or sensed that he should do something romantic just about now, but I was too glad to care when he scooped me up in his arms and carried me back to the ship. I could feel his strong muscles as he supported my weight for me as I sat there so numbly. Sweet of him.

Three hours later I woke up in a cot in Jack's ship, a little hazy and disappointed in myself for falling asleep again. Then I recalled why I had slept so long in the first place. I had a dream… or a realization.

The first thing I saw was Jack and I sitting hand and hand in a tree from Earth or Sol 3, whatever you want to call it. My head was resting on his shoulder, and we were watching my father battle one of his many enemies. He was as brilliant as ever, smiling away as his opponent finally realized that they had been so cunningly outsmarted.

We just sat there waiting for the genius that would never notice the obvious. He never looked towards us, not once, yet we seemed happy and content just to see his face even from a distance. It could be because it wasn't really my father that I wanted to be with anymore. Maybe it was Jack.

The Doctor left. He got into his TARDIS and sauntered off any away to another realm of the universe. And as the time machine disappeared from the face of the planet, it didn't matter so much. Jack and I kissed an amazing kiss and while the world was going back to dull without another time lord, it was okay. Jack and I had our own firework.

It was a dream in every sense of the word, and I hoped with all my heart that it was Jack's dream as much as it was mine.

He walked up to me and chose his words carefully, as if he didn't want to set off the bomb of numbness that had happened the last time. "You ready to go looking for trouble yet?"

I released my most mischievous half-smile and cracked all the joints I knew to crack. "What do you think?" My eyebrow lifted on it's own. I could tell that I didn't have my heart into it, and I'd bet that Jack could to, but the reason we kept doing it was that our hearts were with each other.

Jack smiled back with his special kind of glow that could make him stick out in a crowd. He didn't really look special, but it was that in any situation, he was always so amazing. He had so much love in his heart; even in battle and hate. I knew that didn't make sense, but it made sense to me.

With our little romance hanging in the air like the sweet smell of flowers carried over from a distance, and our eyes locked on each other, we took off… and crashed. We decided to use my ship instead. Then finally, we were off to look for trouble in the strangest of places. Going to new worlds was always fun, and I knew that the next one would be perfect when I saw its steamy bluish-gray color that matched Jack's eyes. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.

Okay, so tell me what you thought of it. Don't' be too easy on me. Be "the critic" if you must, but get your point across. I hope that you liked reading it, and you should be glad to know that I'll probably (probably means no promises) have the next chapter out soon. LOVE YA!
