Robin giggled at the Doctor's antics, crossing her arms over her chest and following his feet with her eyes. There was no way she would ever touch such sensitive controls with her feet, but the Doctor had been flying the TARDIS for quite a long time. But then he reminded her that she was about to call her brother and the smile faded a bit. It was a conversation she was both excited for and very, very scared of.<br/><br/>When he kicked the phone at her, she caught it, trying another smile. It was still a bit more sad than she liked, but she managed all the same. Looking down, she realized that his number probably changed when the Doctor gave them new identities... But the TARDIS could probably connect her anyway. She clicked in his number and was glad when she heard the ringing start.<br/><br/>"Hello?" her brother's voice said after a moment, a little confused at the strange number that was calling him.<br/><br/>"Hi, Allen, it's me," she said, her voice thick with emotion. She turned away from the Doctor so that he wouldn't see her eyes fill with tears. "How are you?"<br/><br/>"Robin!" he whispered, and she could hear him run into his room and shut the door. "I was so worried, I got a new number and didn't have a way to give it to you... How are you? Is everything okay?"<br/><br/>"I think the TARDIS phone has a slightly psychic connection," she said, a wide smile spreading over her lips. "Everything's fine. How long has it been for you? It's only been a couple of hours for me."<br/><br/>"Wow," he said in a hushed voice. "It's been around six months here. Actually, I have kind of a request for you and the Doctor."<br/><br/>"Shoot," Robin said, sitting against the console.<br/><br/>"Well... He moved us to Houston. Texas. We live next to Rice University now," he explained. "And there have been some strange disappearances from there lately. I've mentioned it to Torchwood but they say they don't think it's alien. But my gut is telling me it is... Would you and the Doctor come check it out?" Robin's jaw dropped and she looked back at the Doctor.<br/><br/>"He's got you working for Torchwood?" she asked incredulously, shaking her head. "Wow... Well, let me ask him about it and I'll let you know. I love you, Allen. Bye." Robin tossed the phone back to the Doctor.<br/><br/>"So... Fancy a trip to Texas?" she said. "Apparently there have been disappearances from Rice that Allen is worried about. And Torchwood won't investigate." She smiled, walking over to stand next to him. "I wouldn't mind going back to school for a bit anyway..."
