I do not own the song or characters; this one is 10 visiting some classic during the farewell tour.
…
"What do you mean, you can't find her. You are a time-traveling machine. I want to see everyone before I go to my last body." The TARDIS groans and starts to fly vertically alongside a barrel cascading down a river with laughter ringing out of it. "She's still married to Cliff, right?"
The TARDIS starts to show birth announcements for each of her kids and grandkids. Last thing that was shown was the death announcement of Cliff in the early 2020s. "Ohh Jo, you two had such a long life." The Doctor enters the time stream again wishing there was something he could do to help Jo.
'I said, "Remember this moment"
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives would
Never be the same
You held your head like a hero on a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age'
"Next stop, take me to see Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart." The Doctor pulls down a lever and loves the sound when it lands in the year 2005. The Doctor opens the door and smiles as he watches his oldest friend play with young children. "You have done good for yourself," the Doctor quietly says. A blonde woman looks up and smiles at him. She knows that he doesn't want to talk to him. She bends down to whisper something in her dad's ear.
He looks up then gets up, "hello Doctor."
"You have a nice-looking family here."
"My family is your family," the Doctor salutes him and walks back into the TARDIS.
'Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered'
"Hello Fred," the Doctor jokes at his former companion that ran from Gallifrey after getting the sack.
"Only a few people call me that," she turns around, her blonde hair flowing behind her.
"I know that Romanadvoratrelundar."
"Doctor is that you?"
"Who else could it be? I see you are still in hiding."
"I am, you look so young," she reaches her hand up to trace his face. "Well, your face does, but your eyes." She looks more deeply into them. "You are about to go on to your last regeneration, aren't you?"
"I am. I wanted to see everyone who has ever meant anything to me."
"It is not good to hold off your regenerations; you should know that by now."
"Romana, I will be fine. I don't want to leave this body."
"Why because it's pretty?" He doesn't meet her eyes. "Theta, you need to let yourself change. It is not healthy and will make for a more explosive regeneration."
"Come on."
"No, you knew if you came to see I would say this. Now go in that stolen TARDIS of yours and let yourself regenerate. I know after that last one dies it will be a sad day for all worlds."
"Ok, ok, I'll go." He leaves and walks back in, "but I am not ready to change yet."
'I said, "Remember this feeling"
I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "This is absurd"
'Cause for a moment, a band of thieves in ripped up jeans
Got to rule the world'
Nyssa of Traken is looking at a photo yet again when she hears a sound she hasn't heard in decades. "Hellooo Nyssa, are you ready to see Tegan again?"
"Doctor?" She gets up.
"It's me."
"You regenerated again."
"Oh a few times. I ask again, are you ready to see Tegan again?"
"Only if I can stay with her and bring my kids."
"Let's go get them, wait, you have kids?"
"I do, their Dad died when they were young. They love all of my stories about you guys." The Doctor and Nyssa catch up as they get Neeka and Adric. "Are you two ok with leaving?"
"Mum," Neeka comes up to her, "we care about you. Adric and I never really fit in here anyway."
"Don't forget it's obvious that you were always in love with this Australian Princess that wasn't afraid to speak her mind."
The Doctor holds back laughter as they all get in the TARDIS. "You two understand that earth is very different from where you have been living. Your Mum visited a number of times."
"Doctor, they have studied earth history. I am sure that Tegan's kids would be able to help her." The Doctor doesn't say anything more as he flies the TARDIS. After it lands, "aren't you coming with?"
"No, I need to do a few things. I just wanted to make the two of you happy. Tegan helps out millions of people and helps fight for those who can't." Nyssa gives him a quick hug before she and her kids step out. As the TARDIS takes off Tegan runs out of her house followed by her friend.
"Nyssa?" Next thing Nyssa knows her arms are all full of Tegan.
"I told you Ms. Tude, you would eventually get your Princess back."
"Princess," Nyssa asks.
"This is Ace, she comes up with nicknames for everyone."
"Hi Ace."
"I am so glad that you are here, I finally get a break from hearing about you and everything you did together for the millionth time."
'Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming, "Long live that look on your face"
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered'
The Doctor hopes what the Time Lords told him so many years ago was true. He would hate it if he caused the death of Peri. The TARDIS takes him to a planet he hasn't been to in centuries. As he steps out he sees her, helping out a kid. "Perri?" He says quietly, happy that she is alive. He stands there just watching for a while before leaving.
'Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Will you take a moment? Promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if, God forbid, fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell 'em my name
Tell 'em how the crowds went wild
Tell 'em how I hope they shine
Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you'
His next stop is the fiery red head who tried to get him to eat healthier. The Doctor watches from afar as she rides a moped with some young guy wearing a unique outfit. Smiling, he doesn't notice the other TARDIS in the distance.
'Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made"
And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid
Singing, "Long live all the mountains we moved"
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered'
Dorothy McShane sees a man in a pinstripe suit watching her with a fond look on his face. She didn't get the usual feeling she got with this man. She smiles and waves at him as someone comes up behind her.
"Who is that?"
"I don't know. I just get this feeling that I know him." She grabs the hand of the man she is with.
"You know, I get that feeling too."
"Could it be?"
"I don't know. Want to go and say hi?"
"I don't know. Something tells me he just wants to watch from afar." Ace waves again, "come on Tegan and Nyssa are waiting for us."
"Are you going to be ok?"
"Graham, nothing is wrong."
"You can't blame me. I love you."
"I love you too, now come on."
The Doctor watches on as he watches the companion that did a lot of growing when they saw the universe together in a relationship. Smiling, he heads back and goes to see Martha and Mickey.
