I'm changing the title, everyone! When this fanfiction is finished, it's changing from Who Knew? to Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I was going to use the song Who Knew by Pink in it, but It doesn't fit in with the way its going. Boulevard of Broken Dreams does.

Emily opened her eyes, groaning. She was laying on something cold and hard, not like the grass she was sitting on just a minute ago. What happened, Emily couldn't place.

"Doctor, lets go!" Emily heard Rose yell, but strangely, it didn't sound like the Rose Emily was just with. It sounded more like her mother. She heard rapid footsteps, as if someone was running. Emily shook herself awake and stood.

The Doctor and Rose came around the corner, and when they saw Emily both of them stopped. She wasn't supposed to be here, they had sent her away.

"Emily, I thought I told you to go!" The Doctor said, and Emily heard more footsteps behind them. The people that were going to kill them. The Doctor noticed a stormy look come into Emily's blue eyes, and was surprised when she reached out and grabbed the both of them.

"Run!" Emily said, pushing the two behind her and pulling the sonic screwdriver from her pocket. No one was going to kill her parents. She knew the both of them were running, but she also knew that both of them wanted to turn right back around and stay with her. She would catch up with them, as soon as she set this trap.


Back in the present, Jack was kneeling by the scorched and blackened patch of grass that Emily had just been occupying. It was impossible that she had just disappeared. Alex was trying to figure out what went wrong, and Jackie was currently trying to create a barrier around the place to protect them all. But Jack didn't see any of that. All he knew was that Emily Violet Tyler, a Time Lady, beautiful woman and a good friend was gone.

Hearing Rose brought him back to his senses. Emily wasn't the only woman he cared about. Rose's life was in danger, and he wasn't about to lose her. Jack's eyes scanned the area, and found Rose pinned to the ground by one of the Aurons. Jack's hand dove into his pocket and found the compact laser he usually kept 'elsewhere' and he took aim. The Auron was dispatched easily, and another one met the same end.

"Where's Emily?" The Doctor cried, and Jack gave the Doctor a look that said everything. The Doctor nodded shortly, getting back to his work. He was running the sonic screwdriver over the altar, and grimaced. He found out what desecrated the altar. And It wasn't pleasant. Not at all.


Emily finished her trap and took off after her parents, her coat fluttering behind her. She had just rigged a small bomb sort of thing, that would explode and kill everything in a ten foot radius. But she had to get out of there.

"Mum, Dad, keep going!" Emily called, then a thought came to her. She was waiting by the TARDIS, herself in this time. If she met herself, she could rip a hole in the fabric of time and space.

"Mum, Dad, listen to me. I'm coming from the future. I was with yourselves from the past, and we were working on closing a rift when I got sent back here. I have to stay here. The building will collapse, and if I'm lucky, which is unlikely, I'll get sent back to the future. Go to the TARDIS, and leave. Forget about me, alright?" Emily said, and The Doctor and Rose looked pained, like they didn't want to do it.

"Go, please. I love you guys, no go! Oh, and Dad, when you see Jack, and I know you will, tell him…I love him." Emily said, and she turned around and began running back into the building. The Doctor bit his lip, but nodded and ran with Rose out of the building.


Rose could tell something was wrong when she looked at the Doctor's face. He had bad news about that Altar, very bad news.

"Doctor, what is it?" Rose asked, knowing they could get through anything together. They always have.

"Rose, listen to me and wait till I'm done talking, alright? Don't say a word. The altar needs an act of true, untainted, pure love to desecrate it. Someone has to die for someone else they truly love. And Rose, I'm not letting you do it. I have to completely die, Rose. I can't regenerate. I have to give up the rest of my life" The Doctor said, and Rose's eyes closed.

"No, Doctor. You're not getting rid of me that easy. I'll die for you and you for me." Rose said, grabbing his right hand.

"That hand of yours still gives me the creeps." She had said once.

"Rose Tyler…I guess…"

The Altar exploded, suddenly. The force of the explosion knocked both of them off their feet backwards.


Jack dropped down and covered his head when the altar exploded. He heard rushing wind, and knew the rift was opening. The altar was destroyed, and the energy had caused the rift to open. And now, more Aurons were pouring out of the rift.

Jack looked up and found the Doctor curling his body protectively around Rose, and Jack saw something leave the rift. It was human shaped, and was covered in a golden white light. It was a woman, and she seemed clothed in the light.

"I will not allow those from the Past and Future that I love to be harmed. The Time Lords give me their power to save all of humanity from the Aurons." She said, and Jack noticed it looked like Emily, except it didn't. She had longer, darker hair, and green, almost too green eyes. She had turned into a goddess.

"Stop us, then." The Aurons hissed, and they rushed towards her. She turned to look at them and said two words.

"Bad Wolf."

The TARDIS doors opened with a bang, and Emily turned to look at the TARDIS. The console opened, exposing the Heart of the TARIDS. Rose's eyes lit up with the same golden light, and she turned to face the hordes of Aurons.

"Bad Wolf and the Guardian will not allow you to continue" Rose said, and lifted her hand. The Aurons froze. Literally.

"You cannot stop us, pathetic humans!" An Auron cried, and Emily's gaze rested on the Auron, and now, she was more frightening than ever. Her stormy blue gaze held people in thrall. Her piercing emerald gaze bore into people.

"I am not a human. I am a Time Lady. The Last Time Lady. And you will do as I say. The human race is above you. They banish you." Emily said, and Rose waved her hand, and like the Daleks before them, they vanished in a cloud of dust.

"I leave this place, and you will forget me. All has been put right. I return to my future, as a Time Lady. Alone." Emily said, pulling the Time Vortex from Rose and replacing it in the TARDIS.

"No! You can't leave, Emily!" Jack said, and Emily turned to look at him, her gaze softening.

"Your path and mine won't cross again, Jack. You are past, I am future. I'm sorry, my love, but it cannot be." Emily laid a feather light kiss on his cheek, and she vanished into the rift. The rift closed, and Jack fell to his knees, sobbing.

He had never felt like this before. He had lost the woman he loved, and he didn't even tell her. She didn't know. She had called him 'my love', which meant she loved him, surely. Jack didn't know. He hadn't actually loved anyone before.

"Jack…" Rose began, feeling lightheaded from the whole Bad Wolf thing, but otherwise fine. She didn't have anything to say, because she didn't know. The only thing she could do was pull him into her arms and hug him as he cried.

The Doctor watched this, his own hearts breaking with Jack's. He knew how much Emily meant to Jack, and they didn't even have the chance to actually show each other their love.

"Is everything alright? Is it safe?" Jackie asked, and noticed Jack. The Doctor nodded, and helped Rose get Jack back to the TARDIS.

"The rift is permanently sealed. You won't have to deal with it again." The Doctor told Jackie and said his goodbyes. He walked into the TARDIS and found Jack in front of the console.

"She was right, Jack. She couldn't do it. It probably broke her hearts to leave, but if she didn't, she'd probably destroy a universe. I'm sorry, Jack. I know it hurts. My companions, I've lost quite a few of them. It doesn't get any easier to bear, but don't forget them." The Doctor said, taking the TARDIS to sit in the Time Vortex for a while.


Emily found herself sitting in New York, 1984. Her TARDIS was in front of her, intact. She had stopped it from blowing up, using the energies from the rift.

I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone!

Emily opened the TARDIS and sighed. The Curse of the Time Lords-To be alone. But she could always go find a companion, someone to travel with her and help fill the TARDIS. She would be like her father, finding companions, saving them from aliens and what not.

Some Time Lords were never truly alone after all.

Okay, I'm thinking about leaving it right there. I know I've used the song in another story, but it fit here. The other song didn't fit and thats why the title's changing too.
