Chapter 20
The Doctor and Rose came out of the church after the funerals and walked down the stoney lane to where the TARDIS was sitting. Rose looked like she was in a place that she didn't belong during the funeral and she wanted to get back on their travels.
But she had a slight suspicion that the Doctor had other things on his mind.
She didn't know what else to say except "It was a nice service."
"Yes it was. Its what the two of them wanted it to be like. And it was good to see old friends there.
The two of them continued down the path
"So what happens now?"
The Doctor pondered for a moment. "Well UNIT has re-established a base here in the UK so the UK will be well look after while we're gone. Harriet Jones is back behind the black door, where she belongs. She's said she won't destroy any more alien spaceships without checking with UNIT first. And there is that organisation that came in so handy when they were needed. They are still around."
"And the Master?"
"Hmmmm, well he tried to run off in his TARDIS, but his navigational circuit was not working properly so goodness knows where he ended up. I'm sure we'll see him again at any rate. But there are more of them out there."
"More of who?"
"Time Lords. There's one I definitely want to find."
"Who's that then?"
"Romana. I know that she was no where near when the Time War was on. But I'll have to work on the TARDIS some more to do that. But I have a feeling we'll run into someone else before that happens.
Rose looked at the Doctor and saw a glimmer of something in his eyes. For once it wasn't loneliness in those eyes.
It was a look that said that maybe the Time Lords were still around. It was a look of hope.
The Doctor turned to her and grabbed her hand.
"Right, lets get these two drunks sobered up and get them home. We've things to do"
