AN: I hope that you like this. The Doctor's vision is in chronological order, even when it splits into the two timelines. All of the original quotes will be in later parts of the story. Enjoy. Oh, and if you wanted to know about what the Doctor is saying in his 'native tongue' the clue is 'English'.

And he knew. In that one brilliant instance he knew.
"I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself."
"I have got a mole. I can feel it. Between the shoulder blades. There's a mole. That's all right. Love the mole. Come on then. Tell me. What do you think?"
"If I believe in one thing, just one thing, I believe in her."
"Gravity-smavity. My people practically invented Black Holes. Well in fact they did."
"Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth."
"I love you."
"I suppose if it's my last chance to say it. Rose Tyler…"
"I found the key."
"Well sometimes I have guests, and some friends who travel along side me. I had, it was recently, a friend of mine. Rose, her name was Rose, and we were together. Anyway. … With her family. Happy. She's fine. She's … Not that you're replacing her. Just one trip, to say thanks. You get just one trip and then it's back home. I'd rather be alone."
"Do you hear that Rose? The babies are going to be all right now. So, don't you give up. No daughter of mine is going to give up. You hear that Rose. Don't you dare give up. The Doctor needs you. And so do those babies of his."
"There's something I'm missing Martha. Something really close. Staring me right in the face and I can't see it. Rose would know. The friend of mine, Rose, right now she'd say exactly the right thing."
"I miss him. I miss him so much."
"There was a war. A Time War. The last great Time War. My people fought a race called the Daleks for the sake of all creation, and they lost. They lost. Everyone lost. They're all gone now, my family, my friends, even that sky. Ah, you should have seen it, that old planet. The second sun would rise in the south, the mountains would shine. "
"This picture? Oh, that's your father. He's called the Doctor."
"Falling in love? That didn't occur to him? Then what sort of man is that? And now you expect me to die?"
"I am Rassilon."
"She's gone Jack. She's not just living on a parallel world. She's trapped there. The walls have closed."
"Rotcod. Eht Traeh fo Emit si gnimoc. Ereht lliw eb Erif ni reh ekaw. Eht Rotcetorp fo eht Mrots lliw nruter ot sih edis. Eraweb eht Krad. Reven Yas Reven Reve. Dab flow."
"Okay, vanity. Sorry. Yeah, can't help it. Used to be a poster boy when I was a kid, living on the Boeshane peninsula. Tiny little place. I was the first one to ever be signed up for the Time Agency. They were so proud of me. The 'Face of Boe', they called me. I'll see you."
"You must be new here. I'm called Theta. If you need any help getting around just let me know."
"Well you're not going to mate with me Sunshine."
"You can't just steal a TARDIS. It's insanity. Theta, they'll banish you."
"Don't leave me alone."
"I hate goodbyes. That's why I try never to say them. Rather say 'see you later.' And we will see you later, though it be many years from now. You are the best mate I've ever had and my sister thinks so too. And you know what? We were fantastic the three of us. Absolutely fantastic."
"900? No really. How old are you?"
"Ma'am?"

"Ma'am!"
The Doctor stood in stunned silence as the younger Time Lord tore away from him crying out her Companion's name as she turned and ran. Giving his head a shake to clear it, he remembered belatedly that his own Companion had been kidnapped in like fashion. Pulling his sonic screwdriver from his pocket he gave chase. Quickly catching up to her, he reached out and grabbed hold of her hand. She shot him a startled look before threading their fingers together.
"Hello."
"Theta. What are you doing here?"
He flashed her his brightest smile. "Chasing our errant Companions, or so it would seem."
She arched an eyebrow and frowned at him. "They took yours too?"
He nodded, carefully maneuvering them around a passing group of teenagers. "Donna. She's a loud mouth redhead from early twenty-first century London."
"Sarah. Quiet, tiny little thing. Redhead also. Late twenty-second century London. You'd like her grandmother. She reminds me of you actually."
Slowing, they came to a halt directly in front of the malls play area for children. They turned in a quick circle, but all that they could see were a few shoppers and parents chasing after toddlers.
Their quarry had vanished.
