.:Dreams Of An Absolution-P1:.

"I've had so many lives, It's time to find another one" Jack said to a pregnant Gwen and her loving husband Rhys, as he stared up at the
sky. "Wait.. you can't just go!" Gwen said tearfully as jack just smiled lightly back, though tears of his own "Just watch me" He pressed
a button on his vortex manipulator and rose up into the night sky in a beam of bright, brilliant blue light. Gwen started to let the tears
flow once more "Come on, let's go home." Rhys said, holding Gwen from the side as she replied silently "Yeah" They slowly walked away
from the cold hill from where Jack Harkness disappeared from Earth to find his new life among the stars......

"I'll be damned if you run away now!"
A Teen jumped down from a nearby tree, pressing a button on what seemed to be a wristwatch.
She had dark brown hair with a purple under layer, wearing a black waistcoat, tightly done up with a lightly tinted grey collared shirt and
purple tie and baggy jeans with red converse shoes. She looked up at the night sky where Jack had previously left off.
"DAMN IT! COME ON!!" Her Plymouthain accent shouted at the starry sky, when suddenly, she also,, was beamed up by a brilliant blue
light. Gwen turned around, thinking Jack must have returned.
"Jack!" She cried happily, but he was no where to be seen, just a blue shinning star in the sky.
"Come on love, this isn't good for the little one, let's go." Rhys reassured Gwen. She nodded and rubbed her pregnant belly. "y..yeah" She
sobbed, making her way back to the car with her faithful husband. "At least from now on, you don’t have to worry about me" She smiled
weakly Rhys chuckled "as much" He smiled holding her hand as they walked down the moonlight hill.

Jack Harkness landed on soft Earth like grass. He inhaled. It smelt just like a warm summer noon, the fresh grass waved happily in the
light breeze that ruffled Jack's hair in the same way. He sighed. This planet was amazing, like a paradise the human mind could never fully
dream of. The sky was tinted light blue with a large moon clearly noticeable in the close but far distant along with 4 small suns scattered
in a untidy line in the sky. A tall Sakura tree just ahead of him rustled joyfully in the light breeze, a few of it's perfect pink petals
slowly passed Jack, calling him to sit under the peaceful tree. He smiled. The wind slowly swept over the land, inviting Jack to sit and
be at peace. As Jack made his way over to the tree, he removed his coat. The coat Ianto brought him after his over one was blown up
in the explosion that destroyed the Hub. Although it wasn't his original coat, the memories of the past still became fresh in his mind just
from the sight of it, the good memories and of course the bad memories. He laid it on the soft grass like a blanket and sat, resting his
head on the trunk of the un-Earthly large Sakura.

"Ianto." Jack whispered.
"I'm so sorry" He closed his eyes and let a tear fall.

The wind rustled the tree again, more pink petals flew across the empty, sparkling fields of this small, perfect planet.

"I'm so, so sorry." Jack's voice whispered, broken and flat as he allowed his tears to fall, mourning the man he cherished, cared for,
worshiped and more importantly, loved more than any one in the world.

"You don’t have to be, Jack."
Jack jumped up and looked at the branches of the Sakura. There a young girl sat, looking tearful, down at Jack. He swelled the lump in
his throat and looked sharply at the girl. She stood out so boldly among the pink petals, her dark coloured appearance didn't seem to spoil
the friendly aura that she gave off. Was this a trap? An assassination? An illusion maybe? No... she's been following me.

"Who are you, and how do you know my name?" Jack said calmly despite the anger that started to brew inside him. "Why have you
followed me?" He spoke gently but yet with authority. The girl jumped down, landing on one knee, she slowly stood up. "I'm Lucy Anne,
I've followed you because...... Because I...." She looked at the floor tearfully.

"Because WHAT!" Jack snapped, losing himself in a stage of anger, grief and tiredness.
"Is it the Government!? Are you working for them or something! Or maybe with the 456! Is that it? Come to see if you can finish me
off as well, huh?" Jack's shouting made Lucy cry more, not once did she risk to look up at him, but she could tell by his tone he was crying
also. "Why can't people leave me and those around me alone! I've never done ANYTHING to provoke ANYONE! I just ......" Jack paused,
his sobbing a clear sign he was crying. "I Just want a normal life. Is that really to much to ask for?"

Lucy looked up at him through tears that clouded her vision. He was distraught and clearly damaged from everything that happened to him
on Earth.

"Jack....." She finally whispered after a few moments of silence
"Just get to the point!" He grabbed her my the collar and snagged her up so she was just on her tip toes. "Why!!"
She whimpered in fear. "Why have you been following me?!" His tears welled up once again.
She bite her lip and took a deep breath, never taking her eyes of his.

"Because I know a way to save Ianto Jones......"
