The Timelord won't escape us. We nearly had his pretty assistant, and we could have had him. But what use is he as a human? Humans are plentiful on this piteous wreck of a planet, and there is only one Timelord. But this is the Timelord's home planet, before they took Gallifrey. What is he after? Oh no, he can't be. Greedy ancient twat. He wants the Ruby of Agrapur, and all its regenerative powers. Well, the ruby can only be used if the seeker is dying. And if the Doctor wants the ruby, the ruby he shall have. And then Sullbrinaari will rise from the ashes of Gallifrey, and the Universe shall be ours.
Jim sat by Sally as she slowly came round.
"Miss Lockhart, you had me scared for a minute. I thought I had killed you," Jim genuinely had thought this. The moment he touched her, she turned cold and limp, before collapsing into her arms.
"Miss Lockhart? What are you on about, Doctor?"
Doctor. That was the name of the man in his dreams. Well, him in his dreams.
"Doctor? I'm Jim, you know, good old James Taylor, shortened to Jim, met me this morning, "
"Like you can talk. Lockhart, what the hell are you on about? I'm Rose, Doctor, don't you remember me?"
And then it dawned on her. The Doctor no longer existed. He had used the Chameleon Arch, and changed into a human. Not the most amazing human, just this teenage muppet that didn't know what he was doing. Mind you, he was still gorgeous. His eyes seemed to have lost the tiredness that had come with travelling the Universe, and he seemed to have a bounce in his every step, not just ambled along like he would do, on those horrible days where he remembered the Time War, and the terrors he must have seen. Maybe she could deal with a human Doctor, and him and her could live out their lives together. And then she saw Higgs' body lying in the corner. His blood had been drained completely from his body, and all that remained were the internal organs, skin, fat and bones. All the muscle, ligaments and tendons had gone. Rose was sure that nothing human could do this. The world needed the Doctor, but right now, the Doctor had turned his back on the world, on her and on all of humanity, and had become an adolescent boy with no control of his emotions.
Jim left the room. He couldn't take being in there with whatever was left of Mr Higgs. Poor old Higgsy, didn't deserve that. He was always good to me, and never got angry. Shame it wasn't Skidmore. Thinking of him, where is he? Revenge is a dish best served hot. And you're getting it straight out of the oven for what you done to Miss Lockhart. Poor dear, she thinks she's some girl called Rose.
Rose. And the bombshell finally dropped. That was the name of the girl. The girl that travelled everywhere with this man. Him. And Jim just couldn't take it anymore. Skidmore's going to die. He's ruined too many people's lives.
