Epilogue

The Master had gone with the Doctor in the TARDIS as they dropped everyone off back in their own time. Zeus had tasked Hermes with the job of finding Athena's successor. Hermione had grinned at the thought of Professor McGonagall's face when she found out that her star pupil had chosen her as the heir to Athena. The Doctor had dropped off Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Pandora at Hogwarts. Stormageddon, who couldn't bear to be parted from Pandora, was left there as well. Mrs. Weasley he took back to the Burrow. Sun Tzu was taken back to ancient China. Steve Zissou was dropped back at his seaside lab. Jack he took back to Cardiff, where Gwen was still defending the Earth in the Torchwood hub.

"What will you do with me, Doctor?" asked Sean. He, Martha, the Doctor, and the Master were the only ones left on the TARDIS now.

"I've got to take you home, Sean," said the Doctor.

"But all the things that happened due to the homunculi," said Sean. "That little town in Texas, the accident. The pizza delivery boy. Mozart. What's going to happen with all of that?"

The Doctor looked at the Master, who answered. "Now that the homunculi are all back inside of me as of three thousand years ago your time, everything reverts back to as it was. That little town is still lazy, though it will not stop altogether. The pizza delivery boy will go to college. Mozart died at a young age, just as he always did."

"You, Sean, I am taking home," said the Doctor again. "You've seen and learned a lot, but you have to get back to your life. I trust that you'll not let your curiosity get the better of you anymore."

Sean nodded. "It gave me enough trouble for a lifetime, Doctor," he said. "What about Martha though? Will she be back in the house across the street? And what about Mrs. Thompson?" he added, looking at the Master.

"There never was a Mrs. Thompson," said the Master with a slight smile. "She was as much of a hologram as the room in which you found my computer. Oh yes, I know all about that," he added. "I'm as clever as the Doctor, you know, just on a different side."

"Martha?" Sean said, looking at her. "What aren't they telling me?"

She smiled at him. "I've got to go home too, Sean," she said. "I've got a life to get back to, now that I'm not keeping an eye on him and his box anymore. But that doesn't mean we can't talk and keep in touch," she added. "You're my friend, and I don't want to lose that." She leaned towards him and kissed him on the cheek. "We're good, yeah?"

Sean's heart sank. "Yeah," he said, a little sadly. "We're good."

"Okay, Sean," said the Doctor, bringing the TARDIS to a stop. "You're home."

Sean walked to the door, opened it and looked out. There it was, his house. He turned around and looked back. Martha and the Doctor waved to him. The Master, whom he had known for years as Mr. Thompson, nodded to him.

Sean closed the door behind him and walked into his house. He hoped that his next adventure would be a little less adventurous.

And that's it! This was a three year project through NaNoWriMo, and as cliche as it sounds, I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
