The Doctor quickly removed the earpieces from his ears and threw the stethoscope back into the box. I watched as he combed his fingers through his thick brown hair a bewildered look crossed his face. "I destroyed you all. I'm the only one left." He glanced down briefly and I seized the opportunity. "How..." He looked back up, but by then I was already half way to the garage. "HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!"

I burst through the door and there it was in all its glory. It had been years since I had laid my eyes upon a TARDIS and it brought back memories of the life I once had some good some bad. I reached out and pushed gently on its bright blue doors listening as the sound of its hinges echoed through the tightly confined space. I slowly stepped inside and once I took in my surroundings I could hardly contain my emotions. I could feel my eyes begin to well up with tears and I closed them tightly allowing myself to fully release them. They weren't the type of small 'I'll be done crying in 5 seconds' type of tears oh no. They were the big ones the ones you let fall when you are so overwhelmed that the only thing you can do is cry. I felt them crash onto my lips and tasted their saltiness. "I'm not alone." All these years of human travel had finally paid off. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many times I had moved, how many people I had left behind broken hearted, how many nights I truly felt alone.

"Beautiful isn't she?" He whispered into my ear sending my eyes open. He walked past me heading up to the control panel and brushing his fingers against all of its buttons and gadgets. "Now answer me this. How did you survive and why didn't you tell me what you were? You knew all along didn't you?"

To be honest I knew the answer I have to give would not suffice him, but it was all I had. "Well to answer your second question you weren't very honest either...John Smith." I watched as he tried to come up with some quick smart aleck response, but he said nothing. "The third question yes I knew all along. You're somewhat famous you know. Plus the TARDIS is the garage gave you away."

He grinned at the thought of him being famous. "How did you know it was a TARDIS?"

I rolled my eyes and pointed up at my face. "Hello. Time Lady." He nodded knowingly and then came the hardest part. Answering question number one. I had never really opened up about how I ended up here on Earth or about my childhood on the planet Gallifrey, but he was the Doctor and if anyone would understand it would be him. "I don't remember much I mean of course I remember the war I remember the fighting. I was with my dad prepared to fight until the end, but I don't know suddenly everything went dark. I woke up in a hospital bed somewhere in Southampton April 1912. My dad must have sent me there in our TARDIS. He always had a thing for Earth something about the planet fascinated him. I was only there for a day or so before I left with only the clothes on my back they were all I had. I tried to look for our TARDIS, but I never found it. Chances are it was either destroyed or the humans found it and have it locked up somewhere I don't know." By now my head was spinning with memories. "I must have walked for miles during my life time moving from place to place earning my way the way everyone else did. There were times when I had to choose between regenerating or not simply because life became unbearable. I made it though."

He walked over to me and placed his hands on my shoulders squeezing them tightly. "I'm glad you decided to stick it out. How did you get here by the way?"

"You ask a lot of questions."

"Well you and I are the last of the great Time Lord's so excuse me for being a bit curious."

"I won a ticket." He raised his eyebrow. "A 3rd class ticket on the great RMS Titanic. Well I didn't win it I kind of seduced a man in a pub." I sighed. "Anyways you know the story we hit an ice burg which I warned them would happen, but back then women ha what did they know? Being third class I was left to die with the rest of them. Luckily one lifeboat did come back, I hitched a ride, regenerated on the Carpathia which almost took out the entire ship and here I am." By now I couldn't help, but laugh at how ridiculous the entire thing sounded.

"You are fascinating I have to say. By the way I am quite jealous that you are a ginger."

I looked at him confused before grabbing a strand of my rather wavy hair and analyzing its coloring. "I'm not ginger. It's more reddish brown. Auburn if you will."

"Ginger."

"Fine I'm a ginger. Now what do you say we crank this TARDIS up and take off eh?"

The look on his face quickly shifted from one pure joy to one of slight disappointment. "No." He said walking past me and out of the TARDIS.

I chased after him stunned by his reply. "No?"

"NO! N-O!" He made sure to let it be known that NO was spelled N-O from the way he twisted his mouth as he said the letters. "I'm done with travelling."

"A time lord who doesn't travel?"

"I travel just not through space and time."

"Scardy Time Lord."

"I'M NOT SCARED! ALRIGHT!" The sound of his loud voice caused me to jump back. "WHAT HAD TIME AND SPACE EVER DONE FOR ME? I'VE LOST PEOPLE I'VE LOVED! I'VE DESTROYED ENTIRE PLANETS! I'VE HELPED SAVE EARTH WHEN HALF THE PEOPLE ON IT DON'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE SAVED AND WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN IN RETURN? NOTHING! NOW PLEASE GO AND BY THE WAY I SHANT BE COMING IN TO WORK TOMORROW! I QUIT!" He then turned his back to me refusing to look me in the eyes.

I shrugged unfazed by the situation. "Probably for the best considering I'm closing it for good."

"Oh don't start the pity party."

"I'm being serious. We have to close."

He turned back around still refusing to look at me. "Why?"

"Oh come on. Nobody is interested in antiques around here the sale you made this afternoon was probably the most we've sold in over 2 months. We're not making any money."

"What's going to happen to you?" He finally raised his eyes and glanced at me a little frightened at what I might say.

"I'll pack my things and move elsewhere. Open up a new store and try to make it. I've done it thousands of times."

"I..." He stumbled a bit on his words clearly upset by the thought of being alone once again. "I...don't want you to go."

I sighed and approached him cupping his face in my hands lifting it up so our eyes met. "I'll be ok I promise. We'll both be ok." I kissed his cheek and let go heading towards the door to leave. "I'm glad I finally got to meet you Doctor." With that I departed never to see him again.

The next morning I headed down to the store and began packing things away. Chances are I'd take everything with me since this was my life this was all I really had, but then again who needs all this old junk anyways? I walked over to a tiny table which was filled with tiny porcelain objects and began picking them up one by one, but then a cool burst of wind filled the store and a loud mechanical wheezing sound could be heard coming from the back room. I immediately dropped everything and rushed to the back of the store smiling at the sight of the Doctor's TARDIS materializing in the hallway. I waited for a moment and then he stepped out in a tan trench coat which he layered over his brown suit with blue pinstripes and a light blue shirt. A dark brown tie, cream colored converse and a pair of dark tortoise-shell rectangular frame glasses which made him look even more attractive than he already was. I stood there and folded my arms running my tongue against my cheek. "You know it makes that sound because you leave the brakes on."

"Ah well I like the way it sounds."

"Came back to say goodbye one last time? That's sweet of you."

"Actually I came here because truth is I just can't let you go." I tilted my head slightly and watched him as he approached me pushing his specs further up the bridge of his nose. "We are the last of our kind. We have to stick together it took me years to find you and I can't just let you go that easily. You're the last reminder I have of a life I once had, we both had."

I smile with my mouth closed breathing deeply before speaking. "So where are we off to then?"

He smiled and turned around opening the TARDIS door for me. "Wherever you'd like Time Lady."
