Tick Tock Goes The Clock
The song remained in his head like a mantra. He could think of anything else, be entertained by supernova, see the big bang, work in toy stores, Rose Tyler to help with homework, but nothing took that sound - and so little those words - of his head.
He knew that his death was a fixed point in time. And what would he wouldn't flee. Why, how his death would not be? With 900 years of history, if his death was not a landmark, he would be deeply disappointed. He could delay it for years, decades, centuries, millennia, but she would still be there, waiting for him in his space suit, crying and fighting with the armor that would take away the life of your loved nothing he could do. He would fail to protect her as well as failed with Rose, Martha and Donna.
Finally, he decided he must face his destiny. And then, with his cowboy hat, looked at the children, and said:
"Hey. I'm the Doctor. I was here to help. and you are very very welcome. "
And having said this, he came last in his beloved time machine, for one last trip.
The Doctor.
In the TARDIS.
Next stop:
Death.
The Doctor Dies Today.
