AN: This is just a little drabble I wrote originally back in 2020 during the pandemic and it was the first fanfiction I had written in a long time.
Prompt: Sometimes a girl needs to run. Why is she running? What is she running from, or what is she running towards?
She has seen many things in her years with him, her,... them? As her thief once put it, she has seen gods rise and fall, she has seen the start of time and the end of the universe. She has met leaders, poets, artists, architects, from the greatest minds to the most amazingly ordinary of beings throughout her travels. All thanks to the glorious man that she stole away. Her Timelord. He wanted to run, and who was she to stop him?
There have been many that have walked through her doors. Oh, what did her clever Doctor call them? Associates? No that's not right, escort…. Consort… Yes, it definitely started with a 'C'... Compatriot! No. Companion, that's it! Companion, a word that it turns out could mean many things- friend, family, confidant, and maybe, on occasion, lover. However, these companions come and go leaving only memories behind and this makes her Doctor oh, so sad. So they run off towards their next adventure. towards an escape.
She however, is a constant and she will be there until her Doctor's end. When and wherever that may be. She is old, over 1200 now, but she will keep running for as long as she can. Past, present, future. They belong to each other. Through all of space and all of time. Adventure to adventure. From this regeneration, until the last.
