Prologue: Life Doesn't Go On

Silence echoed through the dead quiet bedroom of Rose Tyler. The 19 year old, once a vibrant, young, space/time traveler was now emotionless and hollow, with no hope for a future life.

Her eyes that, just over two months ago, would have sparkled with excitement and exhilaration at the thought of a new adventure, now shone with one thing…the tears of her broken heart.

The soul of that adrenaline seeking girl disappeared on that day two months ago, along with another person, her man, her love, her life and her support, but more importantly HER Doctor.

There was nothing in the whole Universe that could save him from the loneliness and emptiness that he felt in his hearts right now, and trust him, he checked.

That one single moment, before 'it' happened, when his lips touched hers, he finally felt wanted, needed, complete, and even though he was the Last of the Time Lords, he knew, for the first time since the end of the "Time War", he wasn't alone in the Universe, that there was someone there to be with him, that he belonged somewhere and belonged to someone.

Then as always something had to happen, something worse than anything they had gone through. And now he felt more alone, more isolated than any life form in the Universe. He had regenerated and of course, as with any companion… the transition was never too easy, and well he didn't even know what sort of a man he was.

After being alone, in solitude for over two months, he finally was ready.
