Rose had by this time grown used to the light of all sorts of stars. On Earth, of course, the only star to shine was the sun. But out in the wide world of the universe, all sorts of stars shone in all sorts of ways. Her children grew up speaking not of sunshine but starshine.

Old habits died hard, thought. So when Rose accidentally remarked that it was sunny outside, her children laughed at her.

“Starry!” Fortuna exclaimed. “It’s starry out!”

“That’s not the sun,” Brem corrected his mum. “It’s Arcturus!”

“It’s Arcturus-y out!” Athena added.

When it came to TARDISes, the kids had learned early, gentleness helped. A soft touch, a careful pat. TARDISes were, when you came right down to it, sensitive, easily offended. The kids whinged at their dad that he needed to be less combative.

“She’s taken me exactly where she wants to go our entire acquaintance,” the Doctor sniffed. “It’s just a very long disagreement we’re having.”

“She’s always taken you where you need to go,” Rose countered easily.

When their TARDISes disregarded all attempts to be directed, the kids always remembered this: gentleness, and knowing where you needed to go.
