A/N: So I borrowed seasons 1 to 4 of (the new) Doctor Who from my parents and just finished watching them when this bolt of inspiration struck me as I was removing the DVD from the player and I actually went so far as to say "one truly is the loneliest number" as once again our poor doctor was on his own and I got to thinking... it's a whole lot of 'ones' that make up the whole... and came up with this sort of cross between poetry and ficlet...

Did I plan it? No.. but like the Doctor says... It's more fun that way!

-ONE-

One living ship, TARDIS, to traverse time and space

One Time War to change the universe

One enemy who wants only conquest

One Timelord who escaped while all the rest were lost

One love to heal two hearts filled with anger

One day when everyone lived!

One girl who looked where even Timelords mustn't

One Captain who is now 'wrong'

One Time Vortex restored

One hand severed on Christmas

One past companion who waited for him

One loyal K-9 a dog made of tin

One impossible planet orbiting a Black Hole

One entity that challenges beliefs

One enemy who hid in the space between spaces

One Rose sealed away into a Parallel Universe

One 'Runaway Bride' who told him to stop

One Doctor-in-training who kept her cool

One secret from one who was millennia old

One fog-watch re-discovered and the sound of drums

One planet, one thought, at the one time 'doctor'

One then once again the last of his kind

One companion who walked away willingly

One companion who had been there before

One prophesy from a hive mind

One right turn where it should have been left

One reality in crisis brings old friends all together

One halted regeneration to heal not to change

One severed hand with help grows a new doctor

One companion onto which everyone's time lines converge

One human-timelord metacrisis that cannot be

One Doctor-Donna as was predicted

One Dalek Caan who made it all happen

One Human=Doctor with one heart for Rose

One that will never be forgotten but can never be allowed to remember

One timelord and his TARDIS once again on their own

One truly is the lonliest number..

..But without all the ones to be drawn together, how can there ever be many?

A/N: So love it? Hate it? Tell me all about it! I love hearing what people think!
