"What are you waving at?" There was Mike looking at me skeptically. I scratched my head and looked away, embarrassed at my day-dreamy actions.
                          
"I was slapping bugs away...." I said and went back to my work. 
                          
"Okaaaay..." He said as he put the logs he was carrying down by the fire. He stirred it and got the flames leaping for the sky again. 
                          
The night Mira from earth 2 came to me was a relief. I knew my Mira was ok. But knowing there was another me loving my girl wasn't as comforting. I wonder how he dealt with it....
                          
She explained to me everything that was happening, everything she could do and would do for me and my friends. I appreciated her help, but I wish she would stay with us. I know for safety's sake she couldn't. I still missed her, but knowing she was safe made me live with it.

"Me?! They want me?! Why?! I don't even know what they are....what did I do?!" I asked in a frazzled state. Tension was growing between the three of us. 
                          
My dad was leaning with both hands against the main control console of the TARDIS. 
                          
His head was down, thinking about how to put his words. I knew that look oh so well. 
                          
It was the look of his sorrow. He kept so much inside. So many secrets. 
                          
He was a mystery to me. Even though he was my dad, he still hasn't come to the time where he had me as a baby. Thats a story for another time.... 
                          
It's all confusing, even to me. My mom and him are in conflicting time streams so they meet each other backwards. 
                          
The TARDIS, Time And Relative Dimention In Space, is his space ship. But she's much more than that. She's a living machine. She talks and she feels. She loves me. I'm one of the only people that she allows to drive her. 
                          
He spoke quietly, his accent lingering in the air. 
                          
"They want your power. They want to use you as a weapon. To harness your strength and durability to....to destroy the universe." He slowly looked into my eyes. 
                          
"Am I that powerful?" I shrank down on the cold metal floor of the control room. I was in disbelief. 
                          
Who were these things? Why me? 
                          
"Yes... you are...if they manipulate you and control you, your person....but they cannot harness your power unless you're using it. " He said solemnly. I looked at Tyler with a distressed face. He didn't glance at me. His face was set in a firm line. His fists were clenched and body rigid. 
                          
"Do you....do you know who is doing this?" I asked. 
                          
My dad stood upright and walked towards me. He stopped infront of me. Looking down at me, I saw the hurt in his eyes. 
                          
Holding my face he said, "Mira I need you to trust me. Don't let any of this mess get into your pretty little head." He then kissed my forehead and exited the TARDIS. 
                          
I stood there silent. Tears stinging my eyes. The questions was still unanswered. 
                          
I was overwhelmed, confused, scared, angry....I didn't know what to do.
