again, I appologize for the short chapter.

no, I don't own Coldplay


Xavier stood on a hill overlooking the village. It was December, and it was snowing. Of all things, it had never snowed on this island before. Ever since the tribesmen had been here, everything had gone out of whack.

He clambered down the snowy hill to the central square of the village, where the tribesmen sat inside their houses, staring through the windows at the freezing villagers.

Xavier went over to a group of the villagers. "Shouldn't we do something to fight them?" he asked.

"What for?" one of the villagers said. "At this rate, we'll all freeze to death if we try anything. We should just lie low for now."

Xavier sighed, and wandered off.

These times were hard times. Food was scarce, and a once beautiful island with its beautiful greenery had frozen because of this long winter that they were never supposed to have. The trees were covered in ice, the fruit had all died, and the smoothie hut had gone out of business. It was too cold to swim, and there was nothing to do to pass the time. Everyone was just too cold.

I'll fight them, he told himself. "I will, I'll get rid of these tribesmen!" he looked over at a few of the villagers that were staring at him. "And if I die trying, so be it!" Xavier was angry, these people that hadn't hesitated once to throw him across a room because his poetry was bad didn't want to fight to get their freedom back.

But it wasn't like Xavier could do anything. He wasn't a soldier. He didn't even know how to fight. And his ability to see things didn't help one bit. He cast a gaze up at the sky, where he could see the stars shining even though it was day.

The Doctor was out there, somewhere. Maybe he could help. Xavier had seen it, in his past, he helped people. And he just left the island behind.

Maybe I am just that unloved.


The Doctor and Alice were on a hill, gazing up at the stars. The Doctor was pointing out a few of his favorite constellations. It was after a while that he realized Alice hadn't said a thing. He turned to look at her.

"Am I boring you?" he asked

"No, no" she answered, but seemed a bit distracted.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just… I feel a bit bad, we just kind of left Xavier behind. We didn't even bother say goodbye."

The Doctor frowned. "Are you suggesting we go back and find him?"

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"Okay," the Doctor stood up and held out his hand. Alice took it, and he helped her to her feet. They went into the TARDIS and left.
