Chapter 2: Parting
Satellite Five, from Jack's point of view.
Maybe being so close to death was not such a bad thing.
Jack had thoroughly enjoyed travelling with the Doctor and Rose. He sincerely cared for both of them, but it was the depth of the time lord's eyes that haunted his dreams at night.
The raw emotion of an ageless man who had seen too much...and yet little enough for him to keep running wherever his feet took him.
Somewhere along the road, Jack had fallen for that attitude.
He had fallen for that man.
But he would not have dared asking him out if it was not for the end of the world.
So maybe everything was really lost. At the very least, he had accomplished one final victory, and a most unexpected one at that.
The Doctor had accepted his invitation. It was a pity they would never get to find out what might have been.
That was alright, though.
Altogether, Jack's life had been a good one. He might have seen and done things he preferred not to remember, but he had also found so much worth fighting for. Thanks to his latest friends, he had begun appraciating the sheer beauty of the universe they were living in. At long last, they had even turned him into a better person.
Yes, it had been a good life.
So when the Daleks got him at last, Jack died with a smile on his lips.
Only...
...he did not die at all.
