Chapter 13

"It worked," The Doctor murmured when he woke up. "Theresa, River, it worked!" he shouted and jumped up. He looked around and found himself in the TARDIS – alone. "Of course," he said to himself, disappointed and sad he walked up to the main console. He sighed. River was dead and Theresa had probably vanished or didn't remember a thing. What should he do now? Where should he go? He saved the universe again and nobody would ever know. "What is there left for me?" he asked and started the TARDIS again. Without thinking he entered the coordinates of the biggest library of the universe.

Only a few seconds later, he landed and left his 'ship'. He entered the huge hall and was glad to see it neither dark nor empty here. People were walking around and sun was shining through the window glasses. There were loud noises and everybody was talking, as it was the entry. The library itself would probably be silent, he thought and continued walking through the crowd. Should he really meet River here again, talk to her, or rather to the data he has saved.

"I knew I'd meet you here," a voice behind him suddenly said. He turned around and saw Theresa again.

"That's impossible!" he said and ran towards her to hug her deeply.

"When the paradox resolved itself, my splintered life also became one. It's the same effect why you can still remember things that never actually happened. Now, there's only one 'me' and one 'sister'. As we're now probably the most powerful being, my sister decided to explore the universe, as, you know, we have the power to go everywhere."

"And why don't you?"

"Because I want to explore the universe as well. But I don't want to do it alone," she answered and smiled at him.

He smiled back and hand in hand they walked back to the TARDIS.

"Don't you want to visit your wife?"

"Oh, I bet she has all the time in the universe," he said and gently touched the blue 'wood' of the TARDIS. "You have any idea where we could go?"

"Hm...what about Earth?"

"You were stuck there for centuries, and you still want to go there?" he asked surprised. "Okay, 19th century, Earth, England. Where should we land?"

"What about parking the TARDIS on a cloud. You like being a showman, don't you?" she asked and he activated the TARDIS. Together, they started travelling to time and space, experiencing strange new worlds, falling into unknown holes, reaching to undiscovered stars until one adventure separated them...
