Two-Jamie-1786

Scotland. Lands of unending mountains and mysterious waters. The magical country where you can feel the presence of riddles and thrill, the place of weird stories and great adventures. That's where this story starts and this is where it ends.

It's been a long time since the Doctor ran away from Gallifrey taking with him the only person that he truly cared for. And of course the Doctor learned his first lesson of being, well the Doctor. While traveling with Susan they were trapped temporarily on planet Earth, London, 1963. Before he became grey and grumpy, before he was forced to leave his home the Doctor dreamed to visit this tiny planet but when he actually got there he was annoyed. All he could see were selfish, stupid and narrow-minded creatures, why did his great-grandfather even considered to let someone of them into his life? He had no answer to that.

Susan on the other hand was finally happy, she was thrilled about going to human school even though the program there was ridiculously easy for her but she didn't mind. She was finally in society where people were free and didn't have to hide their emotions. Susan absolutely adored humans, their kind hearts and carefree nature, their ability to love and forgive, their silly holidays and toys. She just wished that her grandfather could see the beauty of planet Earth as she could see it.

It was a while until the Doctor could finally open his mind a bit and realize why being a human was so wonderful and terrible at the same time. He slowly started to see it when two teachers appeared in Timelords' life. Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, the first ever humans who entered the Doctor's TARDIS and were abducted for their cheek. After that fateful meeting the Doctor's world started to change. Oh, yes! It took quite a while until Ian showed the Doctor what mercy and understanding looked like when they travelled to the dawn of human civilization, it was Barbara who showed how kindness and strong will can inspire civilization. The Doctor didn't want to admit to himself that from now on these people, these stupid human beings who couldn't gasp the idea of time travel became his family that Earth is his precious domain and he will always protect it, no matter the cost.

After sometime, Susan's love for humans and their lifestyle embodied in her love for a specific human man – David Campbell. That's when the Doctor first learned the lesson of selflessness, when he let his beloved granddaughter go and live her life with someone she can build her personal future with. He knew that someday they will meet again but until that day this was a good-bye. Shortly after that, even though they became great friends, Barbara and Ian found a way to get home. The heartbreaking goodbye and a new chapter of Doctor's life began after their departure. But the Doctor was never alone there were always people who cared for him like Vicky who reminded him Susan so much, like Steven and Dodo, like Ben and Polly. And of course like Katarina and Sarah Kingdom, they were the first companions who the Doctor lost to the unstoppable enemy – death.

No one knows for how long the Doctor actually travelled since his departure from Gallifrey but it was then when he stopped counting his age. What does it matter really when you constantly travel back and forth in time? Anyway, while being with Polly and Ben the Doctor finally regenerated for the very first time. God, it was an immense pain. Every cell in his body was burning he couldn't think of anything but a constant pain that seemed never ending. How on Gallifrey other Timelords could control this thing? It was like dying and being born again, all at once. He hoped he wouldn't have to go through something like that again anytime soon.

After Polly and Ben's departure the Doctor landed in Scotland. That's where our little sneak-pick begins. The Doctor's adventures are so great that it's impossible to cover even a fracture of them, but we'll try with the help of the Bad Wolf. While being in his second body, the Doctor met Jamie Mccrimon a Scottish soldier, fierce, loyal and brave. They shared their travels with another two humans from different era a lady of 19thcentury Victoria Waterfield and a genius scientist from the future Zoe Harriot. But after chain of events which included the interference, the absolute law of the Timelords, the Doctor was finally called back home where he was punished and exiled on Earth for his adventures. The old visit of the Master's visit was long forgotten but the Timelords were concerned with what may bring Doctor on them through his constant travels. The Doctor was forced regenerated and sent to Earth. But what happened to his companions? Victoria left them before Zoe joined their gang, but to her and Jamie happened something sure the Doctor will never forgive the Timelords for, they were deprived of their memories of their travels with the Doctor. Both Zoe and Jamie remembered only the first brief meeting and that's it. While Zoe was more advanced and less attached to the Doctor she led a relatively normal and happy life made a huge progress in science and basically achieved a lot.

As for Jamie when he was send back to Scotland he couldn't get rid of the feeling that something was wrong, that he forgot something so important. He asked his parents, his friends, regular villages but no one knew the answer to his question. Within 40 years he gained the reputation of mad and dangerous man due to his crazy stories and constant question. He lived in the isolated, half-demolished house on the edge of the village with no friends, no family who renounced him. He knew that he would die alone but he just wanted to know the reason why. Why couldn't he find peace and leave a normal life like everybody else? Why did his wife and daughter just left him without a note? Was he truly mad or did he forget something so important that it was worth to waste his entire life to remember.

It was a usual misty and cold November day, when old crazy drunk Jamie Mccrimon came home. He didn't bother to take his shoes off or take off his coat. He groaned when another memory he didn't recognize flashed in his pained mind. And then he saw it. First it was like a candlelight but in a matter of few seconds it grew bigger and brighter than anything he ever seen, it was like looking at burning sun. After the shining stopped Jamie looked at his sudden visitor. It was a young blonde woman with big, ancient and kind golden-brown eyes she was smiling gently at him and he could feel the waves of compassion and understanding from her.

-Who are you? – mumbled Jamie with wide eyes – Are you an angel? Is it my time?

Rose smiled wider at those words.

-No, Jamie I'm in no way an angel. I am here to help you to remember what was robbed from you.

Jamie didn't say a word. Can it be real? Does it mean he is not crazy and all those dreams and thoughts had reasons? Well, he thought, I am talking to a shining woman who appeared in my shad from nowhere. Maybe he was crazy, but it was nice to talk to someone who showed him warmth for once.

-I am not sure whether you my imagination or not – Jamie finally regained his voice – But I don't care really. Just tell me what I forgot, please.

Rose looked with pity at this once strong and handsome man. That's what the Doctor did to him, he could easily gone back in time after he repaired his TARDIS again and to let Jamie free. But no, the selfish git was too self-centered to think of those he left behind.

-I am sorry Jamie for what you've gone through. I hoped until the end that the Doctor would show up someday and explain what's going on with you but he once again dismissed the fact that not all who forgot him can actually forget and move on. You obviously didn't.

-The Doctor? – this name rippled through his head. Why, why it was so familiar?

-Yes, the alien who whisked you away in his Time Machine, who showed you all of time and space and then was forced to leave you here. – as much as Rose was mad with the Doctor she doesn't have right to persuade anyone what the Doctor really is. She is here to help not to judge. Rose approached Jamie and took his hand.

-Jamie, look into my eyes. Think of all those weird dreams you had and I promise you'll understand.

Jamie bravely looked into beautiful stranger's eyes, he had nothing to lose and if she is an angel of death he would gladly accept it. But the moment he saw the golden glimmer the pictures of forgotten life echoed through his head. Cyberman, Daleks, distant planets, Victoria and Zoe, Timelords and the Doctor. The funny and mysterious Doctor who became his best friend of all. How could he forget all of this? How dared the Timelords to take away this from him?! He felt like his 20 year old self again, he was bouncing with energy and rage, ready to fight again. He opened his eyes and saw a golden woman who set herself on the wooden chair in front of him. Now that his memories are back he could tell that she was still unearthly creature she resembled the Doctor in fact and Jamie could feel the power of time that radiated from her.

-Who are you? Did the Doctor send you?

-I am someone who wanted to help you, Jamie. That's all you need to know. As for the Doctor – she smiled sadly – If I were you I wouldn't wait for him he won't come back. He doesn't look back.

-So you know him? – Jamie asked hopefully he wanted to know at least some information – Is he OK? The last thing I remember he was punished by his people.

-We've met – answered Rose evasively – But don't worry he will be fine. He was just exiled to Earth of the 20th century for a while.

-But – Jamie sad with a smile – that means he might visit some day, I mean if he was exiled…

Rose shook her head.

-Jamie, you've traveled in time you know that for the time travelers timelines are different. He won't come back because he is the Doctor, the man who keeps running.

-You can't be sure. – whispered Jamie. He didn't want to believe it, Rose sighed.

-Unfortunately, I can. But hey, now you can stop waiting for some explanations and I don't know, you can visit your family or write a book about your adventures. You wasted so many years waiting for Doctor, don't waste the time you've left.

Jamie looked at this magical woman he wanted to contradict her but he didn't know what to say after all the Doctor never came back for him.

-We'll see. – was all he said.

-Anyway, I need to get going, Jamie Mccrimmon I hope that now you'll be able to move on a bit.

-Why did you help me?

Rose looked him strangely with her golden-brown eyes.

-Because you are one of few I can help. See you around.

With that, Rose disappeared in the flash of vortex-light leaving Jamie in the empty room. Maybe after all he will be able to fix what have left of his life.
