AN: I do not own any characters in Doctor Who, even though I wish I diid :D


The Doctor was swirling around in the Tardis. He was thinking of his latest adventures. Snowmen, angels, and daleks. Nothing too new. Except that the Ponds were gone. Everyone seems to always leave him. He still had River though. River promised him to stay for a couple of trips but then she had to return to prison. She was his wife, and he needed to protect her. Whenever the Doctor thought of his wife, he thought of the girl who didn't want him near her at all. Back home…

"Sweetie, there's a phone call for you. It's from some sort of classified UNIT building." River handed the Doctor the phone and sat down, looking at him.

"Hello?"

"Doctor, this is General Jackson. It's an honor to talk to you. Although formal greetings should be used for later use. We have an emergency. One of our subjects is acting very odd, and we need you to look at it. Can you come at once?"

The Doctor looked over to River. "Want to go to a UNIT base?" River smiled and nodded.

"Sure, why not?"

"Then yes, we will come."

"Thank you Doctor. You won't regret this!" The person on the other end of the phone hung up leaving only the Doctor and River to think.

"Well this is some odd request." The Doctor pondered. "What does UNIT mean by subject?"

River gave the Doctor a quizzical look. "Well maybe it's a rat or maybe they are using an alien or a human or something like that." The Doctor looked at River in a repulsive way.

"People! They are using people as subjects!"

"C'mon! Let's just go already!" River walked up to the controls and flipped a switch. "We should go and find out!"

2005, LONDON

She was sitting down at a café. Well by one. Closer to the garbage bin actually. She was trying to find food. Here in London, it wasn't hard to find. She heard a familiar noise. A noise she hasn't heard in quite a while actually. She turned around and saw him. She felt anger in her gut. Her eyes turned black in hatred. She noticed the blonde girl next to him. She read the blonde girl's life in one look. Rose Tyler. Dead in the battle of Canary Wharf. Nothing truly special. But still, there were more than enough people around to see an entire attack on him. So she ran back into the streets before he could smell her. She kept running.
