Summary: A Timelord can move throughout space and time but there is one place he will never visit and that is the time when life ceases to exist or… can he?

Authors Note: My muses have returned but they are in a weird mood.

The fire shined brightly in the fading light of the afterlife, illuminating the faces of four women. Their bodies transformed to a time in their lives in which each of them traveled with a man only known as the Doctor.

Martha spoke quietly breaking the silence, "It was said during my time with him that he burned more brightly then any sun in any universe."

Rose spoke up next, "In my time he was known as the man born of hatred and war."

"He was known as the Dark Warrior when I traveled with him." Amy responded next then turned toward Donna, "How about you? How was he described when you were with him?

With a shrug Donna stated, "I don't know I guess he was described as the Destroyer of Worlds but I really didn't see it. All I saw was a man that was broken and needed a friend."

Silence descended once again as the four companions of the Doctor stared at the flames of the fire, when Amy's voice broke the quietness, "I kissed him once and he is a very good kisser even with his bowtie and tweed."

Rose giggled, "Bow tie and tweed what was he thinking what happened to make him choose that?"

"It was the only thing in the hospital that fit him when he changed out of his raggedy brown pinstriped suit."

"Oh I loved that suit; his butt looked so good in it." Martha chimed in.

"Actually I preferred the blue suit the color was perfect for him, but I really don't think he ever changed his clothes, how he kept them from stinking I will never know." Donna smiled remembering time when she asked him if he changed so long ago at Adipose industries.

"Did he ever become ginger?" Rose inquired

The other three women answered in unison, "Nope!"

Martha smiled, "The first time I met him he kissed me but he called it a genetic transfer so he could buy more time with the Jadoon."

"I was kissed by him once and then kissed him once. But really neither of them can count because the first time I was dying and he needed to save me and the other time some catty women was inhibiting my body." Stated Rose with a shrug before continuing, "But I did kiss his clone lots of times and each time was very nice."

"I kissed him to save his life the taste of sardines and salt was very unpleasant," Donna said sadly then whispered, "But, I so loved that impossible man."

"So did I." Rose stated quietly remembering a time when she told him of her love.

Martha added, "I loved him dearly."

Amy was the last to respond, "I loved him so much." Than after a brief hesitation she continued speaking aloud the question each of them were thinking, "I wonder if he ever loved us back?"

Within the darkness that surrounded them a voice, unrecognizable to the women, spoke, "I love each of you deeply and I look forward to being with you when I finally stop running."

A shared smile passed between the women before each of them returned staring at the fire; joy enveloped their souls because they finally heard the words that never heard in lif, from the man that they each loved with every fiber of their being.
