It is John's eighth birthday, and this time, he will find out the truth with him and The Doctor.
"Where are we now Doc? A festival? The planet of the Ood? An exploding star?" I asked rapidly.
"No, we are a few miles away from a town called Equal Town, and there won't be any huge event going on." He said, emotionless.
"Why are we here?" I asked, very confused on why we were at a normal desert.
"I need to tell you something that I have been needing to for a while now." He said.
"What is it?" I asked, a little scared of what was going to happen.
"I am your father." He said.
"What, n-no you aren't. My father was killed by that dragon!" I said starting to tear up.
"He was your step father. Here." Then he pointed to his heart" Feel there." So I did, and i felt a heartbeat. Then he pointed to the spot opposite to his heart. "Now feel here." So I did, and I felt another heartbeat. Then I Gasped. "now feel there on yourself." So I did, and I felt two heartbeats. Then I looked up to him. "You and I both have two hearts, we are a special race called Time lords, they are the ones to first master time travel, hence the name Time Lord."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked sobbing.
"I wanted to make sure that you could handle it first, and you showed me that you could by handling the way you did to certain situations." He said calmly.
"But, what about mother, she only had one heart." I said.
"Yes, but she also had a lot of time lord in her. So when you were born, you were mostly Time Lord, but you still have a bit of pony in you, which Is why you have selective regeneration.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It means that you don't have to regenerate. You can live a long time without needing to. But, at the same time, because you are a Time Lord, you can not be a patient at the hospital." He said.
"Why not?" I asked feeling a bit better.
"Because, you are a Time Lord. You and I are the only ones there are left. The doctors would freak out because of your dual hearts. Then they would kill you, and I don't want another death on my hooves, especially the one of my sons." He said sadly.
"Oh. Um, Dad?" I asked.
"Yes?"
"Can we go back to the TARDIS?" I asked.
"Sure son." He said. However, neither Doc or I knew at that time that within a few years, there would be another Time Lord.
