Dear Doctor,

When I first met you, you left me on earth. Twice. And each time it hurt. It hurt so much Doctor. You drove my hopes higher and higher, just for them to plummet lower and lower. But, then you finally came back and brought me with you, just like you promised when I was a little girl. I'll never forget the first time I saw the inside of that blue box. It proved that everything you had told me was true. Even that the TARDIS had a library and swimming pool inside that tiny looking thing.

You showed me the universe, and took me everywhere. I'll never forget that first adventure, me still in my nightie, saving the future spaceship that housed the entire United Kingdom. I had forgotten everything, and told myself that I had to take you out of there and leave. But we both know that didn't happen. You found out what I had done, about the choice I didn't want you to make, and you were mad. You were so mad, and you told me that once everything was sorted out, you were taking me home.

Goodness knows I wouldn't let that happen. And so, I started to think. And I thought really hard Doctor, harder than I had since I took Advanced Algebra and didn't study for the big test. Finally it all just clicked, and I knew what needed to be done, and so I saved the British ship singlehandedly and earned my place back on that TARDIS where I wanted to stay. I think that was one of my greatest accomplishments, I really do.

And then I started to feel more for you than just friends. Probably because I had dreamt of you since I was small, and I saw all the good you could do. Plus, who wouldn't turn down a good looking alien that can save the world and show you the universe? But then you put an end to that as soon as it started by bringing Rory along. Thank you for that. I really mean it; I'm not being sarcastic.

At first, I didn't want him there, because traveling in the TARDIS felt like my special secret, not to mention I had to answer to him for kissing you. At the time, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to marry him anymore. That was one of the reasons that I didn't tell you about being engaged to him in the first place. I was so scared Doctor. Scared that I couldn't make the commitment, scared that he would stop loving me, I was even scared that I wouldn't be able to make it to my own wedding day, I was that nervous. I thought I might actually die on my way to the alter. Don't laugh at me Doctor, it was the middle of the night when you took me away. No idea is too crazy in the middle of the night.

Thank you though. Thank you for everything. You're my best mate; I couldn't ask for a better friend. You taught me so much about the world, and not to judge a book by its cover. You introduced me to Winston Churchill and saved me so many times. You rekindled my love with Rory, and reminded me how much I love him. Without you, River would have never been born, and I don't know where I'd be in my life if I hadn't grown up with Mels. Rory and I might not even be together. Thank you Doctor, for everything.

I love you (as a friend, Doctor, calm down.) Don't forget me alright? And keep River close, because if you hurt her, I will find some way to get your attention and... Well, I'll think of something. Or Rory will probably stab you with his sword. He still has it you know. But then River will be upset, so perhaps not. Maybe I'll just stick your tie in a car door and lock the car. That works well too. Basically, I'm trying to tell you "don't you dare hurt her." She's been through quite enough, with her own mother trying to shoot her, and then growing up alongside of her. So keep her happy. Please.

Don't get into too much trouble alright?
