last goodbyes
this is a tribute to the great brigadier sir alistair gorden lethbridge stewart he is my role model and he is the one who has kept me going through a few tough periods in my life hope
the 11th doctor walked round the tardis console pushing buttons and pulling leavers. he wasnt dashing rould the console like he usually does he was moving slowly. he was holding back his tears when a picture popped up on the monitor "oh alistair im sorry i failed u" he whispered. the tardis was empty apart from the doctor and the memories of his old friend who had saved his life to many times to remember. suddenly the tardis stopped the scanner read earth,england,2012, grave yard. the doctor stood facing the door fiddled with his bow tie then he took a step forward and opened the door.
The doctor walked along a gravel path with some flowers it was the hardest walk he had done in a while. when he got to the the end of the path their was a man on his knees. the man stood up and slauted the doctor stood next to him and infront of them the grave stone read brigadier sir alister gorden lethbridge stewart and below his name it read "R.I.P to the immortal lethbridge stewart gone but never forgotten" the doctor could not hold it in a tear rolled down his face when he heard a familer voice "here you go doctor i know its you" the doctor looked at the man who was holding out a tissue and he reconised the face and a giant smile appeared on his face and he shouted "BENTON? SGT BENTON" the man smiled and said calmly "yes it is doc i knew their was only one man who would dress like that he talk about you till the very end and he told me if i ever saw u again to give u this and i have carried it around for a few years now" he pulls a letter out of his pocket and hands it to the doctor. before the doctor could say a word benton spoke up "i must be off now doc" the doctor nodded his head and saluted sgt benton and benton saluted him the gave him a hug and walked away. the doctor layed down the flowers and opened the letter.
my dear doctor,
it has been mainy years since are last adventure and i told you i was getting to old for this and i was right. im dieing doctors say i only have a few mouths left and i plan to spend them in a little care home im not scared of death after all we have seen yetis, cybermen, daleks, autons, zygons and the master cant forget him. i fear that i will not see you again and i grow weaker everyday the doctors can say what they like i fear i have only days left so this is my last chance to say good bye and to tell you that you doctor with no name. you have driven me crazy but i love you more than anything i would have happily died for you. when we were part of UNIT you were like the grandfather i never had and i want you to keep fight these alians will keep coming and you must stop them. and dont cry over me im no one special i just did the best i could.

the doctor folded the letter up and placed it in his pocket. he placed the flowers on the grave and saluted him. he then turned and walked towards the tardis.
