The story followed the journey of an Adipose, and it featured Jenny.

## Summary

Kevin the Adipose goes to space instead of travelling with the rest of the First Adiposian Family, and he meets Jenny, the Doctor's daughter. Togther, they stop the Bad Wolf from coming into the universe, as it poses a major danger to the multiverse.

## Plot

In Ealing, not too long ago, panic took over the streets as the Adipose invasion begun. However, Kevin, decides to stray from his Adipose siblings, and takes another route; he steals a spaceship from an underground Torchwood base, and flies it to the stars. His attention is broken away from the beautry of space, however, when a honk alerts him to the presence of another spaceship, which had nearly collided with Kevin's own. The pilot introduces herself as Jenny, and after Kevin introduces himself likewise, Jenny explains she's on a quest to stop the universe from collapsing, as she fears something is coming into the universe from the Void. Kevin considers helping for a moment, and feeling that he has a duty to the universe, he agrees to help.

Travelling to the edge of the universe, to a tear in space, which had a white light and a "abandonded soul" coming through. Jenny examines it with her scanners, and it is revealed that the soul is a female human. But Jenny discovers that this isn't all the scanner has detected, as a verse of two words comes through... Bad Wolf. Kevin, confused, asks Jenny what it means, and although she doesn't know either, she has the feeling her dad would. Jenny resolves to sealing the tear, and while Kevin wants to help the person inside, Jenny believes the risk to the rest of the universe, or rather *all* universes, is too great. Kevin reluctantly agrees, and as Jenny explains what needs to be done in order to seal it, Kevin is distracted by a thud from outside his ship, only to discover in shock that it was *his* spaceship, which had another one of Jenny's spaceships next to it; Jenny informs Kevin that they hadn't actually travelled in space, but in time, to the exact place they had first met, thus creating a paradox.

The tear closes, and Kevin passes out. He awakes on the Adipose nursery ship, not sure if his adventure had been merely a dream, but he finds a note in his hand, from Jenny, where she expresses a wish to meet Kevin again. Over the next few years, as Kevin grows up, he develops the desire to return to space once more.

Elsewhere, the tear remains, having only been shifted in space, and the shadow of a person comes through. This person, Rose Tyler, had her own quest. To find the Doctor, because the very end of the universe was coming.
