(AN: So, while waiting for Thanksgiving dinner, I come back here, shore up a few mistakes in the previous chapters and now give you a new chapter update. Oh, I don't own the thing or things to which I'm about to reference that are neither Whovian nor Star Wars-ian. Lol, Star Wars fans don't have a nickname, like Whovians.)

The Last Words

"Princess, we have a visitor," General Rieekan said.

It was the morning after the Wampa attack in Echo Base's command center. The Doctor and Lieutenant Tyler followed Princess Leia and Han Solo to the command center, where they were being debriefed on something.

"We picked up something outside of the base's Zone 6." the General said.

"It's metal," the technician said.

"Then it couldn't be one of those creatures," Leia stated.

"Is it a speeder?" Rose asked.

"No," Rieekan replied. "None of the T-47s have been sent out."

"Wait," the technician interrupted. "There's something very weak coming in."

He adjusted the volume on his set, and a series of electronic beeps came onscreen. Rose turned to the Doctor, who had a grave expression on his face.

"Sir," C-3PO interjected. "I am fluent in over six million forms of communication. This signal is not used by the Alliance, it could be an Imperial code."

"Well, whatever it is," Solo said. "It isn't friendly. Chewie and I will check it out."

"I'm going with you," the Doctor added.

Outside the base, the wind was howling and snow was everywhere. Even though the winters on Gallifrey had been bad, even the Doctor found out that going unprotected out into a Hoth winter was not good in the slightest. So he borrowed a cold suit and joined Captain Solo and Chewbacca as they made their way towards Zone 6. They were hiding behind a huge snow drift, where just beyond they could hear a low, humming sound.

The plan, if there had indeed been a plan, was for Chewbacca to act as a distraction, in case the droid were armed. From his snow drift, the Wookie emerged and growled at the droid. A blast shot at the snow-drift, narrowly missing the large, snow-covered Chewbacca. From the other side, Han Solo appeared, blaster ready to shoot first and ask questions later.

"No! Don't shoot!" shouted the Doctor. He whipped out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the droid. The screwdriver emitted a high frequency pulse, then the droid collapsed. Han and the Doctor ran towards the fallen droid and began examining it. Chewie joined them, receiving Han's congratulation for his part, while the Doctor pressed the comlink on the wrist of his glove.

"Echo Base, come in," he said. "This is Blue Box, come in, Echo Base."

"This is Echo Base," a woman's voice said on the other end. "I read you, Blue Box, over."

"Toryn Farr?" the Doctor asked. "Is that you? How's your sister? How's Chandrila? Oh, bugger it, I'm rambling. Look, put me through to the General."

A moment later, General Rieekan's voice came on the comm.

"Doctor?"

"It's a droid," the Doctor reported. "A Viper probe droid, commonly known as a 'probot.' It's equipped with a self-destruct mechanism in case it got discovered. It was transmitting just a few moments ago."

"It's a good bet the Empire knows we're here." Han added.

"'Blue Box?'" Rose asked, once the Doctor was safely back in Echo Base.

"Yeah, I like it," he said. "It's a good call-sign, good as any. The only other option was 'Jelly Baby', and I'm not gonna do something stupid, like 'Carlos Spicy Wiener', I mean, who the hell even comes up with that? That's just...dense!"

"But have you found it?"

"Found what?"

"The TARDIS!" Rose continued. "I mean, if you found what I think you found, then the Empire's on its way here and we gotta go, right?"

"Yeah."

"So, do you have the TARDIS or not?"

"TARDIS is safe," the Doctor said. "Although, it's not on me right now. I'll be there when I need her."

"'Her?'"

"Oh, you know how things go," the Doctor continued. "The Doctor and his TARDIS, traveling the universe together. Gets rather lonely, so you refer to your ship as your companion. Not just me, though, Captain Kirk did it too with the Enterprise."

"Captain Who?"

"Oh, never mind." the Doctor dismissed. "So, what happens now?"

"I guess we're packin' up," Rose said.

While they were walking down the tunnel towards Rose's quarters, they happened to see Luke Skywalker in full pilot regalia, lacking on his helmet, making his way away from where they had been going.

"Hello, Doctor." he greeted.

"Oh, hello Luke," the Doctor replied. "Everything fine? You sure look like you've recovered."

"Thank you," the young pilot said. "I just gotta report to the briefing, which should be in an hour or two."

"Briefing?"

"Yeah, we're evacuating the base," Luke began. "But we're sure the Empire will try to land ground troops, since the base itself is protected by a heavy shield generator."

"How heavy?"

"Only one thing could penetrate it, and we destroyed it three years ago," Luke said.

"You destroyed it, you mean," Rose said, but her countenance wasn't as grim as when she usually said those five words.

"Well, it wasn't just me, everyone was involved..."

"Luke," from the other end of the hall appeared Obi-wan.

"Ben!" Luke exclaimed. "Why aren't you getting ready to leave? The transports should be getting everything ready just now."

"Luke, listen to me," Obi-wan said. "If anything happens to me, I want you to continue your Jedi training. Go to the Dagobah system, seek out Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me. If I cannot complete your training, he will."

"But, that's crazy," Luke dismissed. "You'll still be here, won't you?"

Attention! All flight crews report to Hangar 1 for debriefing.

"I gotta go," Luke said. "Rose, good luck on the ground out there. Doctor, take care of yourself."

"Go get 'em, Skywalker," the Doctor returned.

Luke left, after which Obi-wan as well left the corridor to meditate. The Doctor, meanwhile, turned to Rose.

"'Good luck on the ground out there?' What does he mean by that?" he asked.

"Well, I am helping the defense of the base," Rose said.

"I'm sorry, Rose, but I can't let that happen."

(AN: A rather short chapter, with some funny moments [and various references to outside sources, such as Star Trek, Family Guy's ESB parody "Something Something Something Dark Side" and such], and more that you shall soon see.)

(And horay for the reviews! Now I'm getting attacked by fan-girls for sticking to what Kelvington wrote in his own parody. But it makes sense and creates a need for what you will see in the second part of this story [because The Doctor's Star Wars is only the first part]. I'd really love to explain it, to put your doubts to rest, but I can't. In the words of River Song..."spoilers.")
