                        𝐀𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀'𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐃 stayed at her mums house the night before with Rose, The Doctor had come back to pick them up in the morning before she had even had her shower. "Doctor, I haven't even had a shower yet." She complained, loudly. 

The Doctor, whom was toggling the switches on the control centre chuckled lightly. "The TARDIS makes a room for all my companions," He explained pointing towards the corridor. "First corridor, turn right and then left and your room will be there." 

She smiled brightly at him brightly before bouncing away towards the corridor, The Doctor watched after her with a soft smile. "Hey!" Rose called out, making The Doctor turn to look at her. She smirked wickedly. "Do you have a crush?" She taunted. 

Aselia had finally gotten to the area that The Doctor had informed her off, she slowly opened the door and gasped in surprise. The room was gorgeous, not much was in it; a bed pressed against the back wall; two dressers stood tall at the side of the wall. 

There was small mirror on top of one the dressers and three books leaned against the wall and she cocked a brow; walking towards them and pressed her fingers against the book and old language written across it, but she somehow recognised it. "Oh, girl. You've always known, haven't you?" She whispered. 

The TARDIS chirped and she smiled softly, "Okay, shower." She muttered to herself, heading towards the other door where an en-suit bathroom was. She sighed as she pulled back the curtain and switches on the shower. 

The woman watched as the room steamed up, grabbing her sleeves of her jacket and launching it out of the room. The scars on her arms looked back at her from the mirror, and she took a shaky breath through her nose. 

Instead she just got ready for a shower, pushing the memories to the back of her head. She pushed open the curtain again and got in, brushing her blonde hair back she sighed as the hot water hit her stressed body. 

She remembered what had happened that morning. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

"Mum! We're out of bread, again!" Aselia called out, running her fingers through her hair frustratedly. It was still matted with sleep and she was still clad in an over sized hoodie and joggers. 

"Well, who's bloody fault is that? You had the last slice," Jackie scoffed as she entered the kitchen, eyeing her eldest daughter with a glare. "If anyone has to go get bread, it's going to be you." 

Rose mumbled as she entered the kitchen, "Please, don't start arguing. I don't think my head can take it this morning." Rose pleading spoke between the two, she had always been the mediator between the two but it seemed the fights had only got much more fuelled the older Aselia got. 

"Shush, Rose. This isn't an argument, it's an adult discussion." Aselia cocked a brow and scoffed, turning around to flick the kettle on. 

"Over bread, yeah, no. It's more of a tiny argument." 

"You know, you get more and more like Misty everyday," Jackie hissed out, causing Aselia to tense up and Rose to take a sharp inhale of breath. Everyone knew, knew better than to bring Misty up to Aselia. "I don't know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing." 

"Don't talk about her, she was the best influence I had growing up!" Aselia spat, her eyes showing anger as she turned to face Jackie. "And you know what, if you really cared. You'd know better than to bring her up in front of me. She died protecting me." 

Rose saw her mum open her mouth but cut in before she could say anything else, "Keep care on what you say next mum. It could change the course of the future." She warned, eyes narrowing before the two Tyler girls heard the familiar wheezing sound that came with the TARDIS. 

Rose looked over at Aselia, who numbly just nodded in agreement before stepping out of the kitchen. Rose eyed their mum in a disgust manner for a moment before walking out after her sister. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

The TARDIS rocked side to side, startling Aselia out of her memories and she cursed when her elbow hit the wall. The TARDIS chirped in worry and she patted the wall, "It's okay, girl. It wasn't your fault. It was the drivers. It'll just bruise." 

Aselia stepped out of the shower, and headed towards the dresser; grabbing some a pair of denim jeans and a low V neck shirt, as well as the leather jacket that hung nearby and quickly got changed before slipping on some converses. 

She willed herself to push the argument to the back of her mind as she headed towards the control panel. She saw Rose and The Doctor both trying to hold buttons down, "Hold that one down!" He ordered Rose. 

"I'm holding this one down!" Rose countered, her body twisted in a weird way which caused Aselia to cock a brow as she watched the scene. 

"Uh, Doctor. Did you have to pass a test to fly the TARDIS?" He looked over at her and nodded. She cocked her head to the side. "Did you even pass the test?" She accused, and he chuckled, throwing her a sarcastic grin. 

"Nope!" He shouted, and Aselia shook her head. 

"No wonder this thing fly's around feeling like its crashing into everything." She muttered, earning a pointed look from The Doctor. 

"Um, sorry to stop your flirting but I can't hold these two down without messing something up," Rose eyed the two with a fond smile; it had been a long time since she had seen her sister genuinely happy or joking around like she was. "So, Elia. Please, come and hold down this other button." 

Aselia abided her wishes and stood beside her younger sister, pressing the button in and holding it there. "This isn't going to work!" Rose called over the TARDIS's loud wheezing sound and The Doctor's head popped from around the side. 

"Oi, I promised you both a time machine and that's what you're getting," He rudely spat out, Aselia cocked a brow. "Now you've seen the future, how about the past. How does 1860 sound?" He questioned. 

"What happens in 1860?" Rose spat out, trying to contain her stance while the TARDIS rocked side to side. Aselia's hand clenched around the barrier that cased the controls. "Aselia?" She questioned, knowing that the girl was a history buff. 

"Uh, Charles Dickens was around then. My favourite author," She spoke, dumbfounded that Rose had forgotten. "Rose Tyler, have you forgotten everything about me?" She questioned, and Rose swatted at her with her free hand. 

"I don't know what happens in 1860, let's find out," The Doctor shouted out, cutting into the conversation again. "Hold on, here we go!" He called out as he pulled down a leaver. Suddenly the TARDIS came to an abrupt halt, throwing the time lord and his two companions onto the floor. 

Aselia bit down onto her lower lip to keep the groan from erupting, "Blimey." Rose muttered as laughed, Aselia closed her eyes breathing out through her nose in pain. The Doctor was the first to stand up, stretching his legs as he laughed. 

"You're telling me," He cracked a bone before looking down at the floor where the Tyler sisters were still laying down. "Are you two alright?" Rose rolled around for a moment before pulling herself up into a sitting position. 

"Yeah, I think so," Rose muttered as she pushed herself onto her feet. "No broken bones." 

The Doctor looked down at the blonde whom was still on the floor, "Aselia, are you alright?" He questioned lightly, putting his hand out for her; letting her choose if she wanted to touch him or not. 

"I think I may have gained some new bruises, that will go along with the one that I got while I was in the shower," She snarked as she slipped her hand into his outstretched one. "But I'm alright." He pulled her up, and she went tumbling into his chest.

Her hands splayed across his torso as he steadied her, "Woah, careful." 

"Doctor, are you trying to make my sister fall for you?" Rose taunted, earning a shocked look from the two of them, a soft blush coating Aselia's cheek as she pushed herself away from the time-lord, her blonde her covering her face like a protective sheath. 

"Uh, where are we?" The Doctor quickly diverted the topic back to the topic at hand. "Yeah, that's right. Where are we." He muttered quickly diverting his attention to the monitor on the console. 

Rose looked over at her sister with a cheeky grin, Aselia flipped her over quickly away from the prying eyes of The Doctor. "Did we make it, where are we?" Rose questioned, looking over his shoulder. 

"I did it!" He shouted proudly, "Give the man a medal. Earth, Naples, December 24, 1860." Rose opened her mouth for a moment. 

"That's so weird," Rose muttered and Aselia looked around The Doctor to look at her with a cocked brow. "It's Christmas." She continued as a smile pulled at her lips, the Doctor unfolded his arms. 

"All yours." 

Rose stumbled over her words for a moment, non moving. "But it's like," She muttered quietly, The Doctor waited patiently for her to continue. "Think about it though. Christmas 1860 happens once, just once and then it's gone, it's finished, it'll never happen again. Except for you," Aselia cocked a brow as she eyed The Doctor. "You can go back and see days that are dead and gone. A hundred thousand sunsets ago. No wonder you never stay still." 

Aselia's lips turned up into a soft smile as The Doctor grins, "Not a bad life."

"Sounds like it, I always wondered what it would like to see what the past was like," Aselia whispered, gaining the two other peoples attention. "Now I get to see what it's like and I never want to go back." 

"Better with three," Rose teased, The Doctor's smile widened. "Come on then!" Rose darted towards the door. The Doctor turned around quickly, calling out to her. 

"Oi, Oi, Oi! Where do you think you're going?" The Doctor shouted out, tilting his head to the side as he looked at Rose. Aselia chuckled, realising why he had called out to her. Her clothes it wouldn't fit with the time period they were in. 

Rose tilted an eyebrow up, "1860?" She questioned, confused.

The Doctor held up his hand in exasperation, "Go out there, dressed like that, you'll start a riot, barbarella. There's a wardrobe through there, 1st left, 2nd right under the stairs, past the bins, on your left. Hurry up! The both of you." He nudged Aselia to go with her. 

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Rose stepped into Aselia's bedroom after changing and gasped, her blonde hair was pulled up into a loose half up and half down style and she was wearing a dark green dress. "Wow," Rose stumbled over words. "You look stunning." 

Aselia blushed slightly, brushing a blonde hair away from her face. Aselia turned to look at Rose before her jaw dropped. "Rose, you're stunning." She whispered, and Rose chuckled lightly brushing her own blonde hair away from her face. 

The Doctor's voice came from the control area, "Are you two ready yet?!" He called out, and Aselia chuckled lightly. Rose looped her arm with Aselia's before dragging her out of her room and back towards the control room. 

The Doctor was using his sonic underneath some panels, the wiring noise made Aselia's head hurt, but she pushed it back in her mind. The Doctor looked up when he heard footsteps and he gaped for a moment. "Blimey." 

He pushed himself up from beneath the panels, still darting his eyes between the two woman in front of him; till they settled onto Aselia and stuck there. "Don't laugh." Rose warned, pointing her finger at the man. 

"I may love 1860, but choosing an outfit to fit in with this era, is so hard," Aselia whined, linking her hands together. The Doctor was still speechless. "Doctor?" She questioned, tilting her head to the side. 

"You look beautiful," The Doctor exclaimed, and Rose wiggled her eyebrows towards her sister. Aselia felt her cheeks become warm as she looked down at the floor as it suddenly become much more interesting. "You too, Rose. Considering."

Aselia eyes darted up to look at him as he disappears back down under the panels, "Considering what?" Rose inquired.

"That your human." The Doctor answered like it was the most obvious answer in the world.  

Rose's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and so did Aselia's. "I think we'll take that as a compliment," Rose mumbled, before eyeing the Doctor. "Aren't you going to change?" She questioned. 

"I've changed my jumper," He pointed at the jumper underneath his leather jacket, which made Aselia chuckle lightly. "Come on!" He grinned as he jumped out from beneath the TARDIS console. 

Rose quickly darted towards the door, "You stay there. You've done this before," Rose ordered, making Aselia snort at The Doctors reaction. "This is mine!" Her heels clicked against the metal floor boards. 

The Doctor and Aselia smiled as they watched Rose take a step outside, "Wow, Aselia. You have to see this." Rose called out to her, and Aselia's eyebrows furrowed before she pushed herself off of the railing and headed towards the door. 

Her feet crunched when it met the snow, "This is beautiful," She whispered, eyes darting around. The Doctor emerged from behind them with a soft smile; seeing the reaction of the two girls. He stopped for a moment between the two. 

"Ready for this?" He questioned softly, Aselia smiled brightly as she looked up the sky. Stars twinkled above them. Rose smiled at The Doctor, who held out his arm for her and Aselia. Aselia smiled brightly as she looped her arm through his. 

Rose did the same on the other side, "Here we go," He exclaimed before the three started to walk away from the TARDIS, "History." Aselia's smile only grew as the three walked closer to the entrance of the alleyway.
