The Greatest Story of All

To you, to whomever you are, to the entire world,

I'm an alien, Gallifreyan, Time Lord and my name is The Doctor. I know, a little weird for a name isn't it? Not my real name, of course, but after all those years of hiding behind a false pseudonym, I finally forgot the real one. Why the Doctor? I don't really remember. This name is cursed by danger and death, following us in every aspect of it, but at times it bears help and safety.

The Doctor is immortality, change, instability, time and space. It may scare you, it scared a lot a people and it scares me sometimes.

The strangest thing is that I don't even remember where I took this pseudonym for the first time. I actually, don't remember a lot of things about the beginning of my life. I've tried for so long to put it away from me that today, I'm without a beginning. Though, I certainly have an ending. And it's right now.

I'm dying. I know it. My species had the ability to regenerate all the molecules of their body to escape death. I regenerated so much time that today, I can't anymore. It's okay though. I'm fine with it, almost happy. I've lived for so long that I'm greating my end with arms wide open.

1965. Quite a number isn't it. It's not a date in time, it's my age. Surprised? You better be, because it's quite impressive. One thousand nine hundred sixty five years of pain, of ecstasy, of meetings, of separations, of everything.

Right now, I'm in the TARDIS, Time and Relative Dimension in Space. She is presently parked in 2012 in London, on Earth, which is my favorite place in the universe. With that ship, I've seen the whole of time and space. I've saved so much people, planets and this entire universe with that old girl as my eternal companion.

Talking about companions, I had a lot of them: humans, aliens, girls, guys, tin dog. I loved them all by who they were, all very special beings with wonderful capacities. Altough I did love some more than others.

Some were just passing by, others stayed way much longer. Some died, some left with wishes of stability, and others were left behind. I never was perfect and I wasn't always kind and caring everyday with all of them. But I did care for every one of them.

You must wonder why, with death so near, I'm writing this. I could be doing the things that I always refused myself, but my รด! so wonderful many adventures deserve to be reminded of. There is so many of them that I can't write them all, so I have to be very selective. It makes me a little sad, but I already know which one of them I'm going to tell you.

Why this one? Because I never forgot any second of it. Every feelings, every body reactions, every beating of my two hearts is burning in my memory. I close my eyes and I see this story like I'm still there, feeling the pulse of every move. It seems so crystal clear to me that I can't even bring myself to realize that it happened about a century ago.

This is not the Time War. Even if I still remember it, even if it's the day that I lost my planet and all of my own kind. The day that I ended up all alone in the universe. The Time War was a continuous slaughter and doesn't deserve to be told.

It is not my first trip with my TARDIS, I remember it too. Rassilion, it had been a crazy ride, a very bumpy landing and a first adventure that make your adrenaline explodes. But, in itself, it's a quite common story for me.

The story I'm going to tell you shows my real love, real compassion and real trust in another being. It was the most beautiful adventure I never had and the saddest too. In the end of this story, there is tears and pain, but living it worths every moment. I wouldn't change it for the whole universe.

Two years of perfect memories, of laughters and tears. I was in love during these two years, the purest and most powerful love for a woman. A woman more fantastic than you could ever imagine. Today, I'm still in love with her so deeply that I wish she was here, for my last hours of life.

So let me tell you my greatest story of all...

And I will begin it with only two words,

Rose Tyler.
