Ace! It was Ace! He couldn't believe it was Ace! She was alive!

He was completely certain that with the destruction of Gallifrey, Ace had been one of the students to die, just another of the people he loved lost amid all the turmoil of War. He remembered wishing he had never sent her away. Wishing he'd never said goodbye.

Now! Now she was alive. And regenerated! Which was a positively terrifying aspect in and of itself. A full Time Lady. He doubted her rebellious younger self would've believed it.

He followed the instructions Ace gave him as carefully as possible---he landed in Cardiff first by accident, then somewhere else he had to run away from, and then, then he got it right. Shoreditch. Excellent name for a town.

He parked the TARDIS on a little streetcorner and stepped out. 2008. Just after the Year That Never Was. He even capitalized it for significance in his diary.

The question was, though! Where was Ace?

"An IPod? Honestly, Ace, I don't know what's happened to you. Once upon a time you used to think of blasters that size to be a fashion accessory!" He grinned widely, though. Of course she'd grow up, take a change to the time.

"Did a little remodeling on the TARDIS, I should warn you."

Ace laughed. "I guess I appreciate subtlety a little more. But don't worry, it's only a little. Having an iPod frees my hands for two big guns, one each. See?"

She tossed some of her belongings into a duffel, then grabbed up some old Gallifreyan relics and placed them more reverently on top.

"Okay, Professor, ready to go. Even still have my key." Ace patted her chest. She had her two TARDIS keys - one to his, one to hers - on a chain around her neck.
