I sighed. This was amazing. Here I am, in the TARDIS, flying through time and space, with the Doctor. I looked up at him and he was piloting the TARDIS. I smiled. He caught my eye and I smiled. I smiled back. I put my hands behind my head.
"Doctor, I guess this is everyday life for you, isn't it?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Yes, I could say it is."
"It's amazing. The thing's you've seen!"
He laughed. "Oh but it's just the beginning."
He pressed something on the console and came to sit by me. He leaned his head against the wall. I looked at him.
"Doctor, if Sarah Jane traveled with you, who else did?" I asked. He was silent. "Was it Rose and Amy?"
He turned away. "Aridena, I really don't want to talk about it, okay?"
I took his hand and looked into the distance. "I know how you feel. I've lost many friends who have moved, or…" I didn't finish the sentence. The Doctor looked at me.
"Yes. Others have traveled with me. Among them were Rose and Amy, but at different times."
"Can you tell me about them?"
He sighed. "Well…there was Rose. She was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better companion. We did everything together. She helped me during my regeneration and made sure I was safe. I protected her until…" He trailed off. He sighed again. "You see, there was a parallel universe and Rose got stuck there. I can't ever see her again. But she has an advantage that I don't."
"What?" I asked.
"She has me."
I glanced at him. "What?"
He cleared his throat. "Well, that's enough chatter for now." He stood up and helped me up. "I think you should get to bed, Aridena Nickels. I'll see you in the morning."
I crossed my arms. "Okay. I'm being kicked out. Good night, Doctor."
He started to say something but decided against it. I walked out of the main room and went to my room. There was a small bed in a small room. I climbed into bed and under the covers. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but I couldn't. I looked at the ceiling and closed my eyes again. Eventually, I fell asleep.
