Life should have been stress-free, even enjoyable. However, in Pete's World, something just wasn't right. Something was missing.
He was just like the Doctor, but he was a human. Not having the lifespan of a Timelord was a blessing and a curse. He would never have to lose as many friends as the real Doctor had and still carry on with life, if you could still call it that.
The real Doctor. He was just a copy. Was he nobody? His internal fire blazed within him.
Something wasn't there. He just couldn't figure out what. He had Rose. Was it her? Did she really love him?
Maybe it was being alone with Rose and her family, outcasts from the world where he was created.
Life was starting to become dull and monotonous in Pete's World, even with Rose. Maybe they could do something interesting together. Maybe they could travel the world or just spend time together.
No! Something else. Pete's World wasn't enough for him. He needed to go back to the other universe! How was he going to do that? Maybe they could find a way to go to the other universe together.
Rose tapped him on the shoulder, awakening him from his trance.
"I heard that there's going to be a marvelous sunset today. You want to come?"
"You know what? Sure," he replied with a smile.
His internal fire calmed down. He was happy, if only for a little while. Who needed another universe? He had a sunset, and he had Rose. Maybe this was what he was missing.
