DISCLAIMER: I do not own Doctor Who, but golly if I did, there would be some changes. The only thing I do own is the idea, and the character Alana, who by the way is of Jamaican decent but born in America.

Edit: Please review, it's always nice to know what people think of my work.

When you run with The Doctor, it feels like it can never end

But however hard you may try, you can't run forever…

Everybody knows that everybody dies,

and nobody knows it like The Doctor

But I do think, that all the skies of all the worlds,

Might just turn dark, if he ever, for one moment

…accepts it…

-River Song

The Doctor:

I had anticipated this day since the very first moment that I had invited her aboard my ship…but anticipation wasn't enough to soften the blow of this news. Rose, my beloved Rose, was dead. The only shred of comfort was that she had lived a full happy life, but still it did not ease the ache in my hearts. There had been many companions, but none had I cherished like I did that one sweet human girl. There would always be an emptiness in my long life from this day on.

Alana:

In the few years I'd been traveling with him, there was never a moment where he'd been like this. For the past two weeks, all he would do was stare blankly at the TARDIS console. Yes, Rose was dead, but he had been the one to teach me that everything and everyone had their time. I was beginning to worry about my dear friend..and the fate of the universe. Every place we went to, the sky was grey and clouded, and it gave me a bad feeling.

Alana:

"Doctor?" I asked hesitantly, just a few steps behind him. His answer, if performed by someone less highly thought of, was a grunt. Unable to come up with any more words, I threw my arms around him in an embrace. "Please don't be sad any more.." It was all I could think of, and it pretty much summed up what I wanted to say. I hated to see him hurting this way, and had spent the previous night thinking of ways to chase away his sorrow. He gave a small smile that I did not see, and patted my arm lightly, before pulling from my grasp. "We're visiting Greece today, and the forecast is to be sunny and warm, so dress lightly." I nodded sadly, and went to dress in some shorts.

The Doctor:

Alana's attempt at comforting me touched me, but nothing could push aside the pain of Rose no longer being apart of the living. I thought that when I had left her with my other self, that I could actually live on without her, I thought that I was, but then her death came along and now I realize that I didn't know what living without her really meant.

When Alana had returned, and we stepped outside the TARDIS, we were both dismayed to find clouded skies once more.

Alana:

"Sunny and warm huh?" The disappointment was evident, but the fear I held back from my voice. This was not good, not good at all. Every place we went to, no matter where it was or what time, there was always grey skies. Instantly, River Song's words popped into my head. 'Everybody knows that everybody dies, and nobody knows it like The Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark, if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.'

I'm sorry about how short it is D: I didn't realize that until I posted it on here. On my word processor it's lots longer.
