Despite everything that had happened with the Angels, Sally still can't help but be drawn to old things. She still missed Kathy, she'd always miss Kathy. At least old things gave her more of a connection to her friend now. Which is why she's snooping around the edge of an abandoned property which used to have a manor house. Normally Larry would have been with her, but things hadn't been going that well between the two of them.

There wasn't much to look at but it was enough for Sally to be out with her camera. It was the old gate that really had her attention. It was covered in veins, there were even trees growing through it - which made it all the more sad. Happy for deep people, she had once said. She sighs to herself, reaching up to push some of the veins away, trying to see if there was an address or a name.

"Look at you," Sally says, running her fingers against the concrete. "How long has it been since someone was here?"

"Oh, I'd say about forty or fifty years. That is just when someone last poked their head in and decided to stay for ab it. Not actually living here." said The Doctor as he walked up to the gates, flipping the sonic screwdriver up and down in his hand.

He couldn't help but beam at her. Sally Sparrow. She was never really a companion but she was one of the best he had met. So clever, and brave. Just like all of them were really. Except she had her life and he had his own. Sometimes that is just how it was.

"Sally Sparrow." The Doctor's expression turned fond. "Still looking into those old and sad things. Do they still make you happy?"

Sally whirls around, she could have sworn that she was the only one here. She was about to tell this guy off when she hesitated - he knew her name. She stares for a moment, positive she's never seen this man in her life. It's possible he could have come to the video store but... she never talks about old things with people there.

"Sorry do I..." she pauses a moment. The strange thing is there is something oddly familiar about him, something she can't put her finger on. Is it the tone of his voice? The look on his face. "Have we met?"

"Oh, you'll place it. The face change always gets people at first. But! You are extremely clever. Just give a few minutes." The Doctor reaches up and pats her on the back before turning his attention back to the gate in front of them.

He ran his fingers along the old brick. "Any idea what's beyond it?"

She continues to stare at him another moment before looking back at the gate. "There's supposed to be an old manor house," Sally replies. "It was abandoned hundred of years ago, I'm not sure how much is left."

Sally looks at him again, her brow furrowing. There is a hint of an idea of who he is at the back of her mind - but it's not possible, is it? The face was different, people couldn't change their faces like that ...could they?

Then again, statues weren't supposed to move.

"Making it about the 19th century....spooky." The Doctor tacked on playfully.

He had a time machine that was stuck in the 1960s and put you in harms way of stone angels. Is it really that hard to believe he could change his face?

"Yeah," Sally nods. "19th century."

She stares at him again, and then it clicks.

"Do you believe in ghosts...Doctor."

Was it possible? Was it really him. Sally didn't think she would ever see him again. She thought the day he ran past the video shop that was it - and she had been fine with that. And now...

The man in the purple Victorian tweed jacket was slightly hunched, looking at the gate as she said his name. He then slowly looked over his shoulder with a grin on his face. A grin that said she was right on the money.

"You always were a clever one, Sally Sparrow. Did you miss me?"

"You look different," Sally says, as she takes a step closer to him. "How did you do that?"

And yes, yes she had. She just never realized that until now.

"Time Lord trick." The Doctor grinned. "I can change the body around if something happens. A bit impressive, isn't it?"

"Very," she's grinning now. This is insane. It's wonderful and it's insane. "Bet that comes in handy."

"Not that I'm not happy to see you but... what are you doing here?"

He was a bit mad and a bit wonderful. Did she forget that bit?

"It has... yes." His tone dropped slightly as he paused. Then he brushed it off and gestured to the gate. "This gate. Obviously. Wasn't that the reason why you're here?"

Sally is about to question it further, but decides to avoid the topic. The thing about spending most of your time with old things and avoiding most types of media (both social and the entertainment kind) is you got much better at reading people.

She nods. "I thought I'd try to find the manor. Take some pictures," she pauses. "The woods are supposed to be haunted."

Is that why he was here?
