I really wanted to update this this morning, but I figured I'd wait just a bit longer(I'm so bad! lol) Wow I'm surprised at the positive feedback for this story, probably the best for any of the stories I've written!
I wasn't going to say anything but this flashbacks a lot to the Sarah Jane Adventures Episode "Death of the Doctor" featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. Just to let you know where the quotes are from :D
Chapter 2
The Doctor sighed and flipped a switch on the TARDIS console. He gazed around the empty TARDIS room, his hearts feeling just as empty.
He figured he'd give Amy and Rory a few more days on their honeymoon before he went back for them. Because traveling by himself was difficult. He hadn't done it since...
It had been great to see Sarah Jane and Jo Grant...Jones again. But all that talk about remembering, he had been thinking of the distant past before, but right now, in this deafening silence and loneliness...
"I want you to remember. I want you to remember everything, every single day with me. Every single second.
Every planet: New Earth, Women Wept, The Impossible Planet, Raxocoricofallipitorious...
Every Face: Rose, Mickey, Jackie, Jack, Donna, Martha, Lynda, Charles Dickens, Nancy, Harriet Jones, Adam, Pete, Queen Victoria, Tim Connelly, Elton Pope, Chloe, Yvonne Hartman, Tobey, the clone Doctor...
Every Madman: The Master, Cassandra, the Absorbaloff, John Lumic, the Krillitaine, the Slitheen, the Editor, Henry Van Statten, Margaret Blaine, Davros...
Every loss:
"Hold on!"
"Rose Tyler-"
"Does it need saying...?"
Every sunset, every scent:
"Traveling with you...I love it."
"Apple grass!"
"The planet was actually called Women Wept."
Every Terror: Werewolves, Cybermen, Reapers, Gelth, Slitheen, Empty Children, BAD WOLF, Autons, the Beast, the Jagrofest, Sycorax, Clockwork men, Krillitaines, Daleks...
Every Joy:
"Fantastic!"
"I can dance, Rose, I can dance!"
"For some reason she's got indigestion."
"There's me."
"Better with two."
"Is there any other way to go daddio?"
"That old lady's staring at us."
"Why don't you ask her yourself...?"
Every Doctor...
"Future companion you say? My dear don't tell me I've turned the TARDIS into a traveling human carriage!" First.
"Nice to hear you've been getting around." Second
"Just keep yourself safe until I come for you alright?" Third.
"Jelly baby?" Fourth.
"So you...made this for me, waiting? That's so sweet." Fifth.
"Is your fashion sense screwed as well as your compassion sense?" Sixth.
"Northern, Scottish, doesn't really matter does it?" Seventh.
"Just remember, I like Glenn Miller." Eighth.
"Don't be afraid to dance Doctor." Ninth.
"Oh Rose, you're her! The girl who's seen every side of me, all that I've become. You were always there when I needed you most! No one has ever done that for me." Tenth.
The Doctor gasped in pain and put a hand to his chest. It was too painful to think of all those memories right now, especially the ones about Rose in his entire past.
But he remembered! Rose had gone to his future, but when?
He stuck a hand in his inside upper coat pocket and fingered the tip of the envelope resting there. The letter to her. The one he had written just after he'd regenerated into this current form. Because he knew. He remembered that day when Rose had traveled through his past, and then his future. She refused to tell him what had happened after she had returned.
She could appear any day now, or one of his later regenerations, or 300 years from now. Which he sincerely hoped not. He was counting on this last chance meeting with Rose as a final goodbye. A chance to put the past behind him forever.
A single tear slipped down his face unnoticed. He was both dreading and placing his life on this last time to see her. Because he loved her with both his hearts completely, and he didn't want to lose her forever again. At least he always had the hope of her coming one day...
He closed his eyes, remembering her appearance perfectly. She would come with a white tank top underneath a yellow top, form fitting dark blue jeans, and her hair curled so perfectly it fell in exactly the right spots on her face and neck.
Her big brown eyes would tell stories of distant worlds and secrets of things no one could imagine possible, the things her Doctor had opened her eyes to.
Her luscious lips, so perfectly fitting to his own those three...two times she kissed him.
Her every detail about her would be so perfect nothing could compare.
He opened his eyes and shook his head. Reminiscing again. It always got him into trouble. He had thought this regeneration would be better at ignoring the painfully obvious, but right now he felt like the same, tired man his past regeneration had been towards the end.
"To get my reward."
He turned back to the console and flicked a few switches, when all of a sudden the TARDIS started shaking.
"Hey old girl, what is it?" He was thrown to the floor as the TARDIS violently jerked to it's side. A loud BANG echoed around the room, and a bright light filled the entire TARDIS.
Then as soon as it had started, it was done. He looked around, his hearts slowly growing in hope.
But there was nothing.
He sighed deeply and stood up, continuing with what he was doing.
Suddenly he heard a voice behind him, a voice his ears had been waiting to hear for a really long time.
"Doctor?"
