Dear Rose:
After my last letter, I was not sure I would ever write you again. Things seem to have gone back to normal between Martha and I, however they are a little strained. But I wanted to share with you again, somehow it makes you feel not so far away.
Not much to say this time, I'm afraid.
This whole traveling in time business sometimes gets ahead of me. It started a while back in front of a DVD store, where a woman named Sally Sparrow handed me a list of DVD names and a script and told me I was going to be trapped in 1969 someday, and I better have the documents with me. It really bothers me when someone knows my future and I am unaware. It's even stranger when that person's prediction comes to pass.
So there we were, stuck in 1969, just as Sally had predicted. The only things we had were the list of DVDs and the script. We had been transported back in time, without the TARDIS. The Weeping Angels they were called, are creatures faster than light and nearly unstoppable. Part of their biology is that they turn to stone whenever they are looked upon. And you can't kill a stone.
The only thing to do was to try to communicate with someone in the future and send the TARDIS back to us. When I looked at the script I was shocked at what it actually was. It was a conversation between me and Sally Sparrow. I knew I had to tell her somehow, to actually have this conversation with her, in both our times.
We met a man named Billy Shipton, who had also been transported back in time. We found out that he had just met Sally, and he could be the key to us communicating. Remembering the DVD store, I had an idea. Billy went into DVD publishing and together we created the conversation on the script, just my side of the conversation of course. That's where the list of DVDs came in. I'm still not sure what they have in common, but it did have something to do with Sally. I also made a special DVD that, when inserted into the TARDIS, would send it back to 1969, back where we were.
Well obviously, Sally got our message, we got our TARDIS, and everything was back to normal. I even tricked the Weeping Angels to look at each other, which caused them to be turned to stone forever.
Yep, that's about it. I'm glad I didn't give up writing, I still feel somehow connected to you, even though you are so far away.
-Ever so distant-
Your Doctor
