Flying around the TARDIS pushing controls, pulling levers and punching in coordinates; I'm in my element. Excited to find out what planet I'm going to land on next. Despite the coordinates I've punched in the TARDIS hardly brings me where or when I want to go. The excitement leaves as fast as it came when I remember I'm alone. Alone… such a strange word…that really held no meaning for me. But now, as my movements still and it hits me, not for the first time, I'm truly alone. For so many years, as far as I can remember, there had always been this presence in the back of my mind to keep me sane, like all Timelords it has become part of who I am, a necessity. Now in the aftermath of the Time War, with all my people gone, the once comforting presence in the back of my mind is no longer there. With Gallifrey set in the time lock that I was forced to put in place, I lost everything. Now I'm left traveling the universe, living out my remaining regenerations with nothing but my type '40' TARDIS and a huge emptiness.
All that alerts me of the landing is a soft 'thump' as the TARDIS lands. That alone is enough to shock me into motion as the TARDIS very rarely lands softly. I sighed loudly and stepped outside mentally preparing myself for whatever world just happens to be outside. Before I stepped outside I heard a beep from the monitor on the console and I turned and walked quickly over to check the scan. I scanned the beautiful circular language of the Timelords, it was only another reminder of the once proud and mighty race that I was forced to imprison to end the war. The TARDIS shocked me lightly to bring me back to the matters at hand. The signal the TARDIS was picking up seemed to be coming from some sort of relay device, one that it was too advanced for this time period on Earth, but I have seen used by the Nestine Consciousness. I figure I should go out and take a look, the lights in the console room flashed as though the TARDIS was agreeing. At this I felt myself smile just a little. I'll always have my TARDIS, the last Timelord and the last TARDIS will always be together.
As I step out into London, Earth in the year 2005 I realize I will always be alone. No matter what happens, no matter how hard the TARDIS will try I will always be alone. As I look around at the people, an entire race of people, I find myself a little envious. The human race will always be around, no matter what time period you are in there will always be humans. I pulled out my sonic screwdriver and began tracking the signal as I walked up the nearest street to the Hendricks Department store. I shook my head as I realized I would have to go into the store to look around.
Once I opened the door to the store and walked in I was immediately greeted by a too-cheerful blonde girl whose nametag told me she was Rose. I didn't respond I just pushed past her, in a hurry to fix what ever needed to be fixed and leave, to continue on alone.
