I do not own Doctor Who, I am not that lucky.


A Time Lady named Romandvoratrolundar is on my ship and she won't bloody well leave. She's infuriating, barely out of the Academy and she's still bossing me around; telling him how to fly his own ship and how to find the blasted Key to Time. Honestly that woman! He can't wait to get her out, Time Lords, they're all the same. Rubbish and hopelessly unaware of the real universe. What a pain this will be.

She's still here and even though she's the most obnoxious, pretentious, overbearing, insufferable woman I have ever had the misfortune of knowing… she knows her stuff. Today on that planet, she was alright. I could have done better obviously, but for a young girl she did pretty good. At least she's getting a little lesson in humility that woman. Her good looks won't save her skin next time, not that I've noticed her good looks or anything...

Heh, wow, Romana and I, oh dear, we were-we were on this other planet and-hahahahahaha- well you see the locals, they well- hehehehehehehe- they didn't-didn't- hahahaha- they didn't understand the TARDIS appearing suddenly and, oh goodness me, Romana just-just oh I can't even, you just had to be there. Oh that woman just cracks me up sometimes.

I can't believe that woman just did that. Is she crazy? I've never seen-I just can't. What a woman.

I was thinking of taking Romana out- not like out-out if that's what you're thinking. No, no, I mean she's Romana. She's just you know, that woman. No, no… It's just we've been running around awhile and I think it's about time we had a bit of a break is all. A nice planet, quiet and out of the way. No life threatening disasters or evil dictators that need stopping, just, you know. A rest. For a bit is all.

Ok so the break didn't turn out to be that restful but what did that woman have to say about the android invasion of Atrios IV? Brilliant, she tells me, much better than the rubbish you had planned. Honestly that woman, a girl right after my own hearts… well no wait, I didn't mean-

When we were in Paris today she grabbed my hand, oh my, I don't know what to do now. What does that mean? Is that-that girl code for 'snog the living daylights of me?' or was she being friendly? Or is it just that we were running from mortal peril? Rassilon that woman, I can't understand her at all. Oh now she's grabbed my hand again and we're doing the running thing again. There has to be something behind this hand holding.

Apparently hand holding does equate snogging, good, I shall endeavor to remember that in the future. And let me just tell you right now, that woman sure knows how to snog a Time Lord...

I'm rather liking this; this is new, this-this relationship as I'm hesitant to call it. It's hard to put a label on what we have. It's strange she's just so Romana-ish. Is that a word? It can't be but it really ought to be because it just embodies everything that woman is: smart, resourceful, kind, wonderful, inventive and just so-so Romana-ish. I should patent that word. It's just so, right.

I think I'm falling in love with that woman. She's smiling at me now as I tell her, I'm positive now. I think I'll hold her hand now, I could use a good snogging.

She's gone. I can't believe it, she was just here and now she's gone. We had Adric and we were touring around E-Space together almost like a- like a family. It was nice. I was just starting to like it when that woman just up and leaves. I can't go back to Gallifrey, she says, leave me in E-Space. Did she not think about how I feel about this? That I can just forget her just like that? Who does that woman think she is trying to walk out on my life like that? Well I don't need her. I'll show her.

It's been a week, I think or maybe more, it's hard to tell. There are more humans on the ship now. They still don't fill the hole left by that woman.

Maybe I can get back into E-Space, Adric and I can figure out the formula. We'll go back and we'll get her, we'll drag that woman right back into N-Space and things will be good again. She'll be back with me. I miss her alright. I miss her smile, her scent, I miss the way she says my name and how I can talk to her and run with her and laugh with her-

No, she made her choice. I may not like it but I respect that woman and if she wanted to end… this then I just have to accept it. And I will. Eventually.

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling. Romana, Romana please I'm falling. I-I can't feel anything anymore. I can feel the regeneration coming on. Please I'm frightened, I'm afraid that if Romana comes back she won't recognize me. She won't love the new me like she loves this me. I don't want to go, not without seeing that woman one last time in the body she knew me in.

I wonder if she'd have liked this new regeneration. He's blonde, very blonde, like she had been once. I wonder if she's still blonde. I don't think I'll ever know, I believe this body is failing me. I guess I was too attached to the old one, the body that woman had loved. So much for the Fifth Doctor. It was a good life; I was loved by a good woman. I guess now is as good a time as any to die, without that woman beside me, why not?

I'm alright now, just a rough start was all. I don't think of Romana all that often anymore, not like I used to anyway. It's been so long and I've changed, quite literally, and I'm sure she has too. I just hope she's alright in E-Space with the Thals. I hope she's happy because I was when I was with her. I'll always have that, that happiness we shared in that time we were together. My perfect match if there ever was one. Romanadvoratrolundar, the woman who beat me, the woman who taught me how to love after so long. That woman


This was one of the first ones that I wrote and I'm actually quite proud of it. Another warning, my OTP is Fourth Doctor/Romana. I like how their relationship evolved and this is how it went in my mind and no one can convince me otherwise. Go back and watch Classic Who, it is so cute and so adorable and so blatent it's unbelievable. Tom Baker and Lalla Ward were real life lovers off screen and got married later in life so I consider it canon. In my mind, Romana came back from E-Space and reunited with the Doctor and they got married and had lots of Time Babies and were happy until the war. But that's just me... just keep in mind whenever I mention the Doctor's Wife prior to River, I'm probably thinking of Romanadvoratrolundar.
