intro: /XqNZsg0ZHIg

The Lieutenant walked out of the TARDIS. This was where she had slept when she was young. She walked over to a cupboard. She knew she was a drug addict. She was trying to stop. She couldn't resist. She took out a bottle of pills and walked back into the TARDIS and through to the bedroom where she kept Ezmerelda's bottle and put it down on the dresser. She returned to the console room.

"Lieutenant! Her pulse." cried Willy.

Surely enough, Engross had slipped away.

"Lieutenant, Willy, don't fret. I'm here." said Engross.

The Lieutenant and Willy looked down at Engross then turned round slowly.

Engross' soul floated in front of them. "This isn't goodbye."

"No, Engross, don't." cried the Lieutenant.

Engross faded. "I'm still here, Lieutenant, your new TARDIS conscience."

"Engross, please, get back inside your body."

said the Lieutenant. "Willy, help me."

"No, Lieutenant, I love Engross and if that's what she wants, she should have it."

Engross laughed. "Oh sweet, cute Willy. Our love wouldn't have lasted."

"We could have tried."

"No, Willy, we would have tried." Engross operated her own controls.

The TARDIS dematerialised.

"I'm bringing you home, Willy." said Engross.

Willy was crying. "Please..."

"I'm so sorry, Willy, but it would be better after what happened to Engross today."

"But..." spluttered Willy.

"Listen to her, Willy." said Engross.

"Ok." said Willy. He dried his eyes."Is this goodbye?"

"No. We''ll see you again." The Lieutenant smiled. "And thanks, Willy. You and Engross were the best. The best. You always will be. You were very brave."

The TARDIS materialised.

Willy smiled. He faded from view as the TARDIS dematerialised.

"Bring me to Ezmerelda's." said the Lieutenant.

"I'm bringing you back to Gallifrey." said Engross.

"No you're not." The Lieutenant set co-ordinates.

The TARDIS materialised.

Ezmerelda burst in. "Have you got-? What's wrong?"

The Lieutenant looked sympathetic.

"Ez!" exclaimed Engross.

"Engross?" Ezmerelda had seen the body.

The TARDIS dematerialised.

"What was that for?" asked Engross.

"I couldn't bare it."

"Where now? Gallifrey?" asked Engross.

"Yes." said the Lieutenant. "Willy left behind a bottle of pills. I'm having them."

"Returning alone?" gasped Engross.

"Yes. I now travel alone." said the Lieutenant.

The End.
