Title: Come With Me

Episode: Doctor Who: The Movie

He looks back at her, his hearts torn. One wants to leave, the other wants to stay. Neither will give into the other's desires. They battle each other over a simple offer given moments ago…

"You come with me," she had said.

"Me come with you?" he replied. "Me? Come with you?"

He tried to think of the last time someone asked him that, but he can't think of any time someone asked him to come with them. Actually, someone has, but he never heard it with his ears. He heard it with his hearts. And he came with that being.

He came with me.

But his ears heard her request to stay with her, and suddenly his whole world is upside down. Travel or stay put. Remain or leave. Belong or wander. Suddenly, he doesn't know what he wants. Does he want to be the timeless vagabond? The cosmic wanderer? Or does he want to grow roots? Become grounded? He looks at me, as if searching for answers, but I only give him the equivalent of a smile. Of course I want him with me, but if he wishes to stay, so shall I. For he is my Thief returned from the dead, and I don't intend to let him wander too far from my sensors.

He looks back at her. She waves. For a moment, I think he is going to change his mind and stay. I think he is going to run back to her. I think he is going to make Earth his home by choice this time.

I think he is going to take her offer.

But I think this only for a moment.

He smiles and opens my doors. He has worlds to see and things to do. And a book to finish reading. So he comes with me.

Just as he always has, and always will.
