AN: Hey guys! I am really impressed with the amount of feedback I got on the last chapter. If you could recommend this story to your friends that'd be awesome! Also, if you could check out my other DW story that I posted up about a week ago called "You Lied" and review that it'd make my day! I worked really hard on it and I would love some feedback. Without further ado, here's the next chapter in "The Stars Went Out"

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who


Thump-thump. Thump-thump. Serenity's heart was beating, loud and fast, as she ran through the woods and into her backyard. That man…he was so familiar…She'd never met him before, but she knew who he was.

"Mum! Mum, you won't believe this!" Throwing the door open, Serenity found her mother, Denise, at the counter preparing dinner. "I found something in the woods today!"

"Serenity, your imagination is so precious." Denise said with a smile.

"But, Mum! I really did see something! It was a big blue box! All old and covered in vines–"

John walked into the room, surprised to hear this. "Big blue box? Really, now Ren? You're quite funny. There's no such thing as a big blue box."

"Yes there is! I'll t


ake you to see it! C'mon! Dad, Mum, you gotta come see it!" Grabbing one hand from each of her parents, she dragged them out of the house and into the forest.

"Serenity I have food in the oven!"

Not listening, Serenity took her parents to the blue box. "I told you! It really is here! It's a blue box, and…just go inside! Really! Go in, I want you to!"

John looked at his wife and peered inside. "My god…it's bigger on the inside. Denise…It's really bigger on the inside…How is that possible?"

Denise was just as shocked as John. "I…I don't understand."

"That's not all, Mum! Dad, come look here!" Serenity brought him over to the spot where the holographic man showed up just 30 minutes before. She hit the button again and he appeared. John's jaw dropped open and he looked flustered. How was this happening? "Isn't this so cool, Dad!? He said it's called a TARDIS. Let's go take a look around! C'mon, please?"

As Serenity took off, looking around and searching the rooms, John looked at Denise. "Denise…this is so familiar. He…is so familiar. That's not…it can't be…"

Denise nodded, looking at him. A sly smile on her face suggested that she knew something that he didn't. "I'll be right back. I promise."

Grabbing the dream journal and the watch that her husband had, Denise let a big smile grow on her face. "All these years, all this time, and he's finally going to remember. I'm going to make him remember. Doctor, you're coming home."


AN: Whaaat? This makes no sense at all! Or does it? Before I continue on to say review and such, I want to give you guys an idea of who I think is 'portraying' these characters. Ewan McGregor (of Star Wars fame) is John Reid, and his wife Denise is Helena Bonham Carter. Serenity would be 'played' by Jennifer Lawrence (with her Katniss hair). If you're a little confused right now about what's going on, I'll have Denise explain in the next chapter. Basics that you should know are that the Doctor regenerated, and he's human. Further explanation in the next chapter. Review and I'll post it soon! Thank you everyone!
