I had looked at the Doctor and thanked him and told him good bye. I knew I might never see the doctor again. He must be so busy saving everyone that needs saving so I understood why he couldn't stay. His life must be exciting. I wondered about that on the way home and was quiet. When we got home, my mother pulled out a hand held holograph and handed me it. The type that's smaller than the ones that held text books. The type that held silly little rhymes and pictures that made fun little stories.

"Go on activate it!" she told me and I did. It was empty except for the first holograph which had animated letters scrawled on it in blue and smaller text in purple.

"S-A-G-E-L" I read, "What's that!"

"Your name, I choose it, it means wise person."

"but I already have a name," I protested, "My names Brianna, the doctor helped me pick it!"

My nice lady – he had told me to call her mom- my mommy looked distressed then she perked up, "That's no problem; you can have two names - how does 'Sagel Brianna Roxell' sound?"

I grinned, I liked it.

"It's pretty, mommy!"

She stopped, "what did you call me?" She asked

"Mommy," I Replied

She crushed me in a hug and I saw her wipe a tear, "That's right! I love you!"

Making people happy was nice. Today was the day I got my two names and a surname. It was a pretty day, an utterly perfect day that would never fade from my memory. It was the day the two most important people in my life gave me the most precious thing – my name.

The Doctor

"Ah, yes Rose – where to next? Were shall we go, where shall we go –I know, Rashbekyl VII, the people there have the most stunning voices and their moon festival is too fawn over or maybe we could hop over to eighteenth century India with the royalty – England isn't the only country to have had a monarch system back in history…"I babbled on in my enthusiasm and ran around, full of energy – this was life! Rose was on the opposite side of the console. A precise bang here, a button pushed there, everything I knew by heart.

My TARDIS hummed, in contentment. Maybe she felt nice enough to put us down in some nice and calm place but I doubt. Nice and calm is not in the repertoire of our small band. Today was the calmest I had had for a while, relatively speaking, that is if my wibbly, wobbly recent past is any testament. Wait my entire existence is wibbly-wobbly, it makes meet-ups awkward to say the least. My mind flashes to Brianna, when she grows a little more emotionally I might just take her on a trip on the TARDIS, the old 'One Trip to the past, one trip to the future' deal. Or maybe I won't. Maybe I shouldn't? But either way, life would be interesting for her, very interesting.

I wondered to myself why I had made such a fuss over a concept really, I wondered because it was a small thing, a tiny thing really. What is a name? Essentially a name is nothing but a title but I might think differently in this one circumstance. A name meant what it was to be human in all its perfect imperfection. Identification stuck to you till the day you died really. Through desperation and war, a name could make or break history. The smallest thing, like a name, might be remembered long past the life of the person who bore it. Every name had a story and every story had a beginning.

I gave Rose a merry look and pulled on a lever. The TARDIS spun and careened through the Vortex, rattling and shaking us - a mixture of exhilarating motions.

Brianna's story was just starting and mine was continuing. Lot's of fun, terrifying, new, beautiful things to see! So much of adventure, such a thrill! Have you ever seen a purple sea, four moons in a sky? Real live mermaids (mermaids are real of course), a place where the people have wings? Where shall we go next then? Maybe let's go to earth, the original earth of course?

All ready?

Rose grinned and held on.

"Alonsy then!"
