Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or anything else you may recognize

Was re-watching the 2005 Doctor Who (haven't been able to see the classic show so far, sadly), and just got finished with Ten's run.

He is not my favorite incarnation (to put it mildly) even if Tennant was amazing in the role, but anyways, seeing his farewells to his Companions in 'The End of Time', I thought to do this bit.

My final upload of 2023, and my 400th fic, a Doctor Who fic to boot!

Enjoy.

Sto, years ago

Astrid Peth was sitting, staring at the sky during the night, before she heard something, and turned to see a man standing nearby, also watching the stars.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" Ten asked her with a little smile as he turned to look at her. "The stars, all out there, in Space, looking like sparkling jewels in the sky."

"Yeah", Astrid nodded with a smile, happy to meet someone who got why she loved seeing the stars so much, before she looked back up. "I wish I could travel amongst them, see other planets, you know?"

"I understand", Ten said with a nod.

"The Universe is full of wonders, really, it'd be a dream come true to see them happen", Astred had to say.

"Perhaps one day you will", Ten said sadly, turning around and walking off. "You will."

"See ya around", Astrid said to him, but he was too pained to reply.

"You'll be a wonder yourself, Astrid Peth", he whispered to himself.


Earth, London, December 1852

Jackson Lake was walking back home, with his son Frederic and nanny Rosita, as it was time for another Christmas dinner, when Frederic, who was looking here and there, suddenly pointed in a direction. "Father, look!"

Jackson and Rosita shared a look, before looking where Frederic was pointing, and saw Ten standing at a distance, hands in his pockets.

Smiling happily, Jackson waved at Ten. "Doctor! Merry Christmas!"

Rosita and Frederic waved too, as Ten waved back, and mouthed. "Merry Christmas."

With a strained smile, he turned around and walked off.


Earth, Present Day, Africa

Lady Christina de Souza had just stolen a diamond, and had run out, reaching the top of a building, far away from the spot of thievery, and chuckled, feeling the thrill of it.

She looked up, and one rooftop away, she saw, to her shock, Ten standing there.

Seeing him, she laughed happily, and gave him a wave. He acknowledged her with a little wave of his own, and then gave a nod, before calling out. "RUN!"

"What?" Christina asked, confused, when Ten gestured downwards, and she looked down to see some police vans having arrived, clearly to catch her.

Looking back at Ten, she said. "Thanks!" And with that, she ran off to find a way to escape, as Ten walked off, knowing who he had to see now.


And this is done.

While these were only one-episode Companions (Jackson isn't really considered a Companion from what I've read, but I consider him to be one), I thought they were fun and had potential for sure, if they'd become full-time Companions back when the show was actually good, though I'm happy with most of the full-time Companions we got in the show up until Series 7 (as that's where I usually stop watching NuWho) with the exceptions of Rose Tyler and Clara Oswald (not a fan of either of them).

Anyways, hope all enjoyed this little 400th fic which is my final update of 2023, and see you all next time with some other update.

Happy New Year everyone.
