Luna's Prophecy
A few days later, Victoria found herself sat in a church staring at the coffin containing Luna's body. Torchwood had brought her home and had sorted out the paperwork to register Luna's death. Despite Victoria warning the Doctor away, she was grateful for the help that Jack and the others gave. They were working on the behalf of the Doctor and for Luna. As Victoria sat, she was only vaguely aware of the priest talking about death, the afterlife and God. But nothing was sinking in. Victoria knew that Luna would find all this attention strange. The young brunette would have preferred to be outside exploring the grounds than listening to this man. She looked around her to see the friends and family who had come to say goodbye to her adoptive daughter. She smiled to herself as she saw how many people cared for Luna. Then she saw two people she wasn't sure how to react to. Jack and Sarah Jane were stood right at the back of the church away from the rest of the ceremony. Sarah Jane was dressed in a black dress and Jack was wearing his full military uniform. Victoria watched them for a few seconds and smiled a little to herself. It showed that they still cared. She just hoped they hadn't brought him along.
Soon, the church emptied and Victoria found herself stood by a hole in the ground, a hole that would be Luna's eternal resting place. It was hard to believe that only a few weeks ago, Luna Edwards was travelling amongst the stars, living a dream that she had had since she was small. Now she was dead, that dream left shattered. Jack and Sarah Jane stood nearby watching as the coffin was lowered in to the ground. As it was, Jack saluted in respect. In fact, Jack was also starting to cry. The usually strong captain was letting himself release his emotions. Sarah Jane, too, cried for their lost team member.
That's when Sarah Jane spotted it. Across the graveyard she could see a tall dark figure stood behind a tree watching the burial. She knew who it was straight away. She nudged Jack in the arm.
"What?" He asked, whispering.
"He's here." She replied.
Jack looked where she indicated and spotted him. The Doctor was stood by the tree, hiding from Victoria. He was there to pay his last respects to his late companion.
"What? If Victoria sees him..."
However, Victoria had seen the Doctor. She could see him in the corner of her eye but didn't acknowledge him. It was at that point, the lonely Time Lord turned and walked away.
The Doctor stepped into the empty and silent TARDIS and looked around. It was like Luna had never even entered his life. He closed his eyes and smiled at the memory of his first meeting with Luna. When he stepped out of the TARDIS all confused and disorientated, she was the first person he saw after crash landing. She was stood staring at him. She wasn't scared or freaked out at all. Her curious nature had kept her from running away. It was that first eye-contact when he realised he had stumbled across a very special person. But now she was gone.
The Doctor opened his eyes and sighed heavily. He started setting up his faithful ship for flying again. Once again, the Doctor, the last of the Time Lords, was left to travel through time and space alone.
And that is that. It has been great fun writing adventures for Luna and the Doctor and I am going to miss writing with Luna. I am very proud of her success and popularity but I decided to stop writing with her when David Tennant left the show. This is because I created Luna to suit the tenth Doctor and I felt it wouldn't be fair to try and get Luna to be as in love with the eleventh doctor as she was with the tenth.
Anyway, thank you very much to everyone who read and reviewed this story. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as me. And don't worry, I'm not quiting writing stories, I'm planning another story. So please keep an eye out.
