Chapter 6
a/n I really like dan. He gives me rory vibes, yet also donna vibes. (so i guess it's just me vibes lmao)
I combined that conversation that Donna had with 10 in "the doctor's daughter." and the one that 9 and rose have in "the end of the world."
Fire raged outside the windows, engulfing the atmosphere. The earth was exploding into nothing. Rose Tyler stood watching. "The end of the earth. It's gone." she stared into the light. "We were too busy saving ourselves. No one else saw it go. All those years, all that history and no one was even looking. It's just…"
The Doctor looked to her, offering her a hand. Greyn was already clinging to Rose's other arm. "Come with me." and they walked together back to the Tardis, and then out to the street.
"Could you go find out when we are?" asked the Doctor, mostly in an attempt for some privacy. Greyn nodded, hopping down the street.
"You think it'll last forever, people and cars and concrete, but it won't. One day it's all gone. Even the sky. My planet's gone. It burned like the Earth. It's just rocks and dust before its time. My people are dead, I'm the last."
"But you've got Greyn, right?" Rose offered, trying to make the situation lighter.
"I guess so."
"Oh, I know that look. I see it a lot round our way. Blokes with pushchairs and frowns. You've got dad-shock."
"Dad-shock?"
"Sudden unexpected fatherhood. Take a bit of getting used to, ya know?"
"No, it's not that."
"Well, what is it then? Having Greyn in the Tardis, is that it? What's she going to do, cramp your style? Like you've got a sports car and she's going to turn it into a people-carrier?"
"I had a family a long time ago, Rose." He watched Greyn smiling to every stranger on the street.
"What?"
"I lost all that along with everything else."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know. You talk all the time, but you don't actually say anything."
"I know. I'm sorry. But when they died, that part of me died with them. It'll never come back. It can't."
"I tell you something, Doctor. Something I've never told you before. I think you're wrong." She reached to take his hand as Greyn reported back with a latitude, longitude, and day of the week written on a newspaper
