The Name of the Doctor

The three of us Time Lords arrived at the Maitland home to take Clara on her weekly trip. When we got there we found Clara fast asleep on her floor in her room. So we just let her sleep. A short time later, Annabelle and I were sitting on the couch in the sitting room reading while The Doctor walked around the room with a blindfold on, "Am I getting warm? Angie? Artie? Am I getting warm? Am I getting warm? Look, I'm pretty sure you have to tell me if I'm getting warm. I'm-I'm-I'm pretty sure that's in the rules."

Just then we heard Clara's voice coming from the stairs, "Doctor?"

"Ha, Clara! How are you, don't worry. Everything's under control."

"What are you doing?"

"Mr. Maitland went next door, "I said as Annabelle and I closed our books, stood up and walked over .

"So The Doctor said we'd look after the kids," said Annabelle.

"They wanted to go to the cinema," said The Doctor, "but I said no, I said no - not until you wake up, I was very firm."

"At which point, they suggested Blind Man's Bluff," said Clara.

"Yes. Where are they?"

Clara stepped down off the step she was standing on and took off the blindfold. "At the cinema."

"The little…Daleks!"

I looked at Clara and she had a worried look on her face, "What's wrong?"

Clara told us that Vastra sent her a letter, to put her in a dream-like state where she could meet with Vastra, Jenny, Strax and, somehow, River to discuss something of grave importance. A man in Vastra's time, Clarence DeMarco, a murderer, had information about us and provided space-time coordinates…to Trenzalore, the location of our greatest secret. Before more could be discussed, something had happened to Jenny, she'd been hurt, and they'd all been attacked by men with no eyes and sharp teeth in black suits and top hats. River had forced them all awake.

Afterwords us Time Lords were us sitting in the Matland's sitting room while Clara made tea in the kitchen. "So who was she? The lady with the funny name and the space hair," asked Clara.

"She's an old friend of ours," I said.

"What, like an ex?" asked Clara

"Not quite," said Annabelle, "Clara, River asked Vastra for the exact words - what were they?"

Clara walked into the parlor with the tea, "'The Time Lords have secrets they will take to the grave. It is discovered.'"

Us Time Lords looked at each other, I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. I could see that my uncle and daughter were close to tears as well.

"Teddy? Annabelle? Doctor?"

"Sorry," said The Doctor, his voice broke a little, "And it was Trenzalore? Definitely Trenzalore?"

"Yeah."

The Doctor put his hands over his eyes and sighed, "Oh, dear... Sorry." He sniffed and got up. Annabelle and I followed him out of the house and Clara was close behind.

We went to the lower level of the console room and sat down on the storage units. Clara slowly walked down the steps, with her arms crossed, "Well?" she asked.

"Trenzalore," said The Doctor, "we've heard the name, of course. Dorium mentioned it, a few others." Annabelle stood up and used her sonic on some of the over head wiring.

"We always suspected what it was," I said, "We never wanted to find out ourselves."

Annabelle put her sonic away and said, "It's not surprising that River would know, though," she pulled down a cable, "River always knew. Clara, come here, give me your hand." Clara walked over to her, "Now. The coordinates you saw will still be in your memory. I'm linking you into the TARDIS telepathic circuit, I have to warn you it's going to hurt." Then she jabbed the cable into the palm of her hand.

"Ow!" said Clara. Annabelle pulled the cable out of Clara's palm and then Clara asked, "What is Trenzalore? Is it your big secret?"

"No."

"OK, what then?"

I stepped up to Clara, "When you are a time traveler, there is one place you must never go. One place in all of space and time you must never, ever find yourself."

"Where?" asked Clara.

"You didn't listen, did you?" said The Doctor as he walked over to the rest of us, "You lot never do, that's the problem! 'The Time Lords have secrets they will take to the grave. It is discovered.' He wasn't talking about our secrets, no, no, no, that's not what's been found. He was talking about our...grave. Trenzalore is where we're buried." The Doctor then walked up the steps to the upper level and the rest of us followed.

"How can you have a grave?"

"Because we all do," I said, "somewhere out there in the future, waiting for us. The trouble with time travel, you can actually end up visiting it…"

"But you're not going to," said Clara, " You just said it's the one place you must never go."

"We have to save Vastra and Strax. Jenny too, if it's still possible," said The Doctor, "They cared for us during the dark times - never questioned us, never judged us, they were just... kind. We owe them. we have a duty. No point in telling you this is too dangerous."

"None at all. How can we save them?"

"Apparently... by breaking into our own tomb!" The Doctor threw a lever on the console. The TARDIS shuddered and jerked around throwing us off balance.

"What's that?" asked Clara.

"She just figured out where we're going," said Annabelle, as we tried to keep control, "She's against it. We're about to cross our own time line in the biggest way possible - the TARDIS doesn't like it."

We fought the controls but the TARDIS kept fighting back, "She's fighting it!" I said, "Hang on!" Sparks started to fly from the console as she continued to resist us. Then there was a big blast that pushed us away from the console and against the rail. I looked up and saw it was dark in the console room

"Now what?" asked Clara.

"She doesn't want to land," said The Doctor, "She's shut down." We got up and walked over to the console.

"So we're not there," said Clara.

The Doctor smacked a lever in frustration, "We must be close." he walked over to the doors, "OK. So that's where we end up." Clara, Annabelle and I walked over and looked down. Below us was a planet covered in ash, fire and smoke. "Always thought maybe I'd retire," The Doctor continued, "Take up watercolors, or bee-keeping, or something. Apparently not."

"So. How do we get down there? Jump?" asked Clara.

"Don't be silly! We fall," said The Doctor as he closed the door, "She's turned off practically everything, except the anti-gravs. Guess what I'm turning off?" The Doctor used the sonic on the console, and the TARDIS dropped like a stone to the planet below.

After the TARDIS crash landed, The Doctor opened the door and looked up at a broken pain of glass on the door, "Oops!"

I shook my head and looked around. The graveyard was packed tight with gravestones of various sizes and shapes. Lighting flashed in the distance and thunder rumbled, Clara walked out, and asked, "You OK? Visiting your own graves - anyone would be scared."

"It's more than that," I said, "We're a time travelers. We've probably time-traveled more than anyone else."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning... our grave is potentially the most dangerous place in the universe," said The Doctor, "Shall we?"

Clara closed the TARDIS door, "Gravestones are a bit basic."

We walked past the graves and Annabelle said, "It's a battlefield graveyard, our final battle"

"Why are some of them bigger?"

"They're soldiers, the bigger the gravestone, the higher the rank."

Just then we saw something in front of us that we couldn't believe. We looked at each other and then back again. High on a hill in front of us was a giant TARDIS, "Well. Bright side - it's a helluva monument." said Clara.

"It's the TARDIS," I said.

"I can see that."

"No. When a TARDIS is dying, sometimes the dimension dams start breaking down. They used to call it a size leak, all the bigger-on-the-inside starts leaking to the outside and it grows. When I say that's the TARDIS, I don't mean it looks like the TARDIS - I mean it actually is the TARDIS. Our TARDIS from the future."

The Doctor stepped forward, "What else would they bury us in?"

Annabelle and I started to follow but then we heard the one voice we never thought we would hear… River Song's, "Clara. Don't speak, don't say my name – he can't see or hear me, only you can."

The Doctor, Annabelle and I all had a quick conversation and we all agreed to just let River think that we couldn't hear her, for now. "Well, come on then!" I called to Clara.

"We're mentally linked, it's the conference call. I kept the line open." said River.

Us Time Lords walked over to Clara and River and Annabelle said, "Who are you talking to? We need to get…" just then something caught her eye, "River?" she walked over to a gravestone and on one of them it says, "River Song"

"That can't be right," said Clara.

"No, it can't," said Annabelle.

"She's not dead."

"Oh, she's dead, I'm afraid. She's been dead for a very long time."

"Yeah, should probably have mentioned that - never the right time," said River.

"But I met her!" said Clara.

"It's a long story," said Annabelle, "But her grave can't be here."

"Doctor!" gasped Clara. We turned around and we saw a group of men approaching us wearing black suits, top hats, their faces were white with no eyes, smooth skin and mouths with sharp looking teeth.

The Doctor took his sonic out and pointed it at them, "These people must fall as all must," said the men in a whisper, "The fate of all is always dust." The Doctor slapped his sonic against his hand and tried again. When that didn't work he blew on it at tried it a third time.

"If it's not my gravestone, then what is it?" asked River.

"What do you think the gravestone really is?" asked Clara to us Time Lords.

"The gravestone?" said The Doctor.

"Maybe it's a false grave!" said River.

"Maybe it's a false grave," said Clara.

"Yeah, maybe," I said.

"Maybe it's a secret entrance to the tomb!" said River.

"Maybe it's a secret entrance to the tomb!" said Clara.

"Yes, of course," said Annabelle, "that makes sense," she took her sonic out and pointed it at the gravestone, "They would've never buried my daughter out here!"

"Your what?"

Just then the ground opened underneath us and we fell. We heard the Whisper Men say, "Those who lie will lie no more When three lie at Trenzalore."

The four of us walked through a doorway into a dark tunnel lined with invading roots, The Doctor found a torch, lit it with his sonic and removed it from the sconce.

"Where are we?" asked Clara.

"Catacombs," said The Doctor, and he started down the tunnel.

"I hate catacombs," said River.

"So how come I met your dead daughter?" Clara asked Annabelle.

"Well, you know how it is when you lose someone close to you," said Annabelle, "We sort of made a back-up."

"I died saving them," said River to Clara, "In return, they saved me to a database in the biggest library in the universe. Left me like a book on a shelf. Didn't even say goodbye. They don't like endings."

Just then a Whisper man walked right through river and reached for Clara, "Come on, run, run!" said The Doctor as he grabbed Clara's arm and pulled her along.

A short time later we burst through a door and we could see that we were in the TARDIS, "Come on, quickly, we're in."

Just then we hear Clara call out, "Doctor!" We turned and saw that a Whisper Man grabbed Clara.

"Clara!" said The Doctor, as he reached for her and pulled Clara away from the Whisper Man. The Doctor, Annabelle and I pushed the door closed on the Whisper Man's hand. The hand was pulled out of the door and the door closed fully. "Yowzah!" said The Doctor, as he dropped the torch and we started to walk down the corridors.

We clmbed up some steps and The Doctor said, "Bit of a climb. Think I remember the way."

I turned around and I saw Clara lagging behind, "Clara. Clara?" I walked up to her as I saw her staggering and then leaned against the wall, "It's OK. The dimensioning forces this deep in the TARDIS can make you a bit giddy," I held on to he as we walked forward.

"I know, I know," said Clara. She pulled away and looked at me, "How do I know? How do I know that?"

"It's OK, you're fine."

"Have we, have we done this before?" she paused for a moment, "We have! We have done this before, climbing through a wrecked TARDIS - you said things, things I'm not supposed to remember."

"We can't do this now," said The Doctor, "The TARDIS is a ruin, the telepathic circuits are awakening memories you shouldn't even have…" Clara just stood there as if she was remembering, "Clara."

"Clara," I said.

"Clara, what's wrong?" asked Annabelle.

Clara staggered to a wall, "What did you mean, you keep meeting me? You said I died! How could I die?"

"That's not a conversation you should even remember…" I said.

"What do you mean I died?"

Just then we heard the Whisper Men say, "The girl who died he tried to save. She'll die again inside his grave."

"Run!" said The Doctor as he grabbed Clara's hand, "Run!"

We reached the top of the stairs and we heard a voice that sounded like Dr. Simeon from Victorian London, "The doors require a key. The key is a word. And the word... is the Doctor's."

We stepped around the corner and we were standing in front of the TARDIS. There was Dr. Simeon, Vastra, Jenny and Strax. We learned later that the Great Intelligence had taken the form of Dr. Simeon. "Here we are," said The Doctor, "late to our own funeral. Glad to see you could make it, Jenny." Jenny nodded.

"Open the door, Time Lords," said the Great Intelligence, "Speak, and open your tomb."

"No."

"Because you know what's in there?"

"We will not open those doors," I said

"The key is a word lost to time," said the Great Intelligence, "A secret hidden in the deepest shadow and known to you alone. The answer to a question!"

Annabelle walked right up to him, "We will not open our tomb."

The Great Intelligence looked at my uncle, "Doctor, what is your name?" The Doctor didn't answer. The Great Intelligence gripped The Doctor's face in his gloved hand. The Doctor just stared at him before he pulled the hand off his face. The Great Intelligence walked around us and then headed to the others, "The Time Lords' friends." He turned to face us, "Stop their hearts." he raised his left hand and made a fist.

The Whisper Men hissed and started to move toward our friends with a hand outstretched, "Madam, boys, combat formation! They are unarmed!" said Strax.

"So are we!" said Jenny.

"Do not divulge our military secrets."

"Stop this!" I said, "Leave them alone."

"Your name, Doctor. Answer me!" said the Great Intelligence.

"Doctor!" called Clara.

Strax picked up a pipe and with a yell cut the Whisper man in front of him into but it doesn't stop, "Do you want me to do that again?" asked Strax.

The Whisper Man repaired itself, "Doctor who?" asked the Great Intelligence.

We looked around and saw the Whisper Man in front of Strax reach into his chest, "Aagh!" groaned Strax.

"Please, stop it!" said The Doctor.

"Doctor who?" asked the Great Intelligence.

"Unhand me, sir! Aagh!" said Strax.

"Leave him alone!" shouted Annabelle.

"Don't worry, sir, I think I've got him rattled."

"Doctor! Teddy! Annabelle!" called Clara.

"Doctor who?" asked the Great Intelligence

"Please!" said The Doctor. Just then the doors opened. We turned and saw the light coming from inside.

Just then us Time Lords heard River's voice, "The TARDIS can still hear me. Lucky thing, since him indoors is being so useless!"

"Why did you open the door, sir?" said Strax, "I had them on the run!"

"We didn't do it," said The Doctor, "None of us said my name."

"No, but I did." said River.

We turned around to check on the others and help them stand up, "Is everyone all right?" I asked, "Is everyone OK?"

"Clara? Clara? Are you OK?" asked The Doctor as we went up to her.

Clara coughed, "That was not nice."

The three of us hugged her, "I know. I'm sorry," said The Doctor. We released her and walked over to the Great Intelligence, "Now then, Dr Simeon. Or Mr G Intelligence, whatever I call you... Do you know what's in there?"

"For me, peace at last," said the Great Intelligence, "For you three, pain everlasting. Won't you invite us in?" he stepped aside.

The three of us Time Lords looked at each other. We walked up to the door and pushed it open. We walked into the console room and saw that vines had started growing through it. As we climbed the stairs we heard the cloister bell. In the center, where the console would be was a tower of light, with different strands of light rotating around each other.

"What's that?" asked Clara.

"What were you expecting?" asked The Doctor, "A body? Bodies are boring, We've had loads of 'em. That's not what our tomb is for."

"But what is the light?" asked Vastra.

"It's beautiful," said Jenny.

"Should I destroy it?" asked Strax.

"Shut up, Strax," whispered Vastra.

"Doctor, explain. What is that?" asked Clara.

"The tracks of our tears," I said.

"Less poetry, Teddy. Just tell them," said the Great Intelligence.

I rolled my eyes, "Time travel is... damage. It's like a tear in the fabric of reality. That is the scar tissue of our journey through the universe. Our path through time and space, from Gallifrey to Trenzalore." I took my sonic and used it on the light. (uses sonic on light)

Then we started to here the voices of the past and current versions of myself, Annabelle and The Doctor.

"Have you ever thought what it's like to be wanderers in the fourth dimension?" said the voice of The First Doctor.

"..Cybermen - they're still in the nursery compared to us…" said the voice of The Sixth Doctor.

"Of course we came back. We always come back." said the voice of my current incarnation.

"There are corners of the universe that have bred the most dangerous things…" said the voice of The Second Doctor.

"Do I have the right?" said the voice of The Forth Doctor.

"I specifically told him not dropping them. I might be 3 years old but I'm not a child…" said the voice of the current incarnation of Annabelle.

"You were fantastic - absolutely fantastic!" said the voice of The Ninth Doctor.

"I'm the Doctor, this is my niece, Teddy. We're Time Lords. We're from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. …" said The Tenth Doctor.

"So you see…" said the voice of The Fifth Doctor.

"Now, I'm a 193 year old Time Lady. I know more that most college professors and I'm not sure if I'm content with just seeing the world…" said the voice of my first incarnation.

"Hello, Stonehenge!" said the voice of The Eleventh Doctor.

"It was the daisiest daisy I'd ever seen." said the voice of The Third Doctor.

"Generation 5000 soldier primed and in peak physical health. Oh, we're ready." said the voice of Annabelle's first incarnation.

"Our own personal time tunnel," said The Doctor, "all the days, even the ones that…" The Doctor started to sound weak, I wasn't feeling to well myself "I, er, even the ones that I haven't lived yet." Then the three of us Time Lords collapsed to the floor.

"Doctor! Teddy! Annabelle!" shouted Clara as ran over to us and knelt beside The Doctor and me.

"Which is why we shouldn't be here," I groaned, "The paradox is... it's very bad." Just then I saw the Great Intelligence start to move toward the light. "No. What are you doing? Somebody stop him!"

"The Time Lords' life is an open wound," said The Great Intelligence, "And an open wound can be entered."

"No, it would destroy you," said The Doctor.

"Not at all. It will kill me - it will destroy you three. I can rewrite your every living moment. I can turn every one of your victories into defeats. Poison every friendship. Deliver pain to your every breath."

"It would burn you up," groaned Annabelle in pain, "Once you go through, you can't come back - you'll be scattered along our timeline, like confetti."

"It matters not. You three thwarted me at every turn. Now, you three will give me peace, as I take my revenge on every second of your lives! Goodbye... Goodbye, Time Lords!" The Great Intelligence stepped backwards into the light and screamed in pain. The Whisper Men disappeared. The Great Intelligence was consumed by the light. The three of us Time Lords started to cry out in pain.

"What's wrong with them?" asked Clara, "What's happening?"

"They're being rewritten!" said Vastra, "Simeon is attacking their entire timeline - they're dying all at once. The Dalek Asylum. Androzani. Messaline."

"What did you say?" asked Clara. "Did you say the Dalek Asylum?"

"Now they're dying in London, with us."

"It is done," we heard the Great Intelligence say. I reached over to grab Annabelle's hand to get some comfort but, Annabelle was gone. I cried as I saw the memory of Annabelle's death in my mind. Instead of regeneration after she was shot on Messaline, she died. I started to sob uncontrollably at the death of my beautiful daughter. The pillar of light turned from white to dark read.

"What happened to Annabelle?" asked Clara.

"She's gone," I cried… "She didn't regenerate when she should have and she's gone…"

"Oh, dear Goddess!" said Vastra.

"What's wrong?" asked Jenny.

"A universe without The Doctor, Teddy and Annabelle - there will be consequences. Jenny. With me." Vastra and Jenny left.

Clara looked at The Doctor and I, "The Dalek Asylum. You said it was me that saved you. How? Victorian London. How, how could I have been in Victorian London?"

"No. Please, stop, my life... My whole life is burning." said The Doctor.

Clara looked at the pillar, "I have to go in there."

"Please. Please, no…" I pleaded.

"But this is what I've already done. You've already seen me do it. I'm the Impossible Girl, and this is why."

"Whatever you're thinking of doing... don't." said River.

"If I step in there... what happens?"

"The time winds will tear you into a million pieces. A million versions of you, living and dying all over time and space. Like... Echoes."

"But the echoes could save the Doctor, right?"

"But they won't be you - the real you will die. They'll just be copies."

"But they'll be real enough to save them and bring back Annabelle," Clara shrugged, "Like my mum said, the soufflé isn't the soufflé - the soufflé is the recipe." she looked down at The Doctor and touched his face, "It's the only way to save them, isn't it?"

Just then Vastra came in, "The stars are going out. And Jenny and Strax are dead. There must be something we can do?"

Clara stood up, "Well, how about that? I'm Soufflé Girl after all."

"No... please…" I said weakly.

Clara walked toward the light, "If this works, get out of here as fast as you can. And spare me a thought now and then."

"No, Clara...!" said The Doctor.

"In fact, you know what?" Clara turned to us, "Run. Run, you clever boy and girl. And remember me."

"No! Clara!" shouted The Doctor and I as Clara ran into the light.

A short time, our timeline returned to its normal white glow. Annabelle, Strax and Jenny's deaths were undone and I was hugging Annabelle tightly. "Mom… You can let go any time…" she said.

"Never…" I said.

She rolled her eyes and hugged me back. I looked at the other side of the room and said Strax, Jenny and Vastra, "It was an unprovoked and violent attack, but that's no excuse…" said Strax.

"We are all restored, that is all that matters now," said Vasra.

"We are not all restored!" said The Doctor.

"You can't go in there. It's your own time stream, for God's sake!" said River.

I nodded, "We have to get her back."

"Of course! But not like this!"

"But how?" asked Jenny.

"Is she still alive? It killed Dr Simeon." said Vastra.

"Clara's got one advantage over the Great Intelligence," said Annabelle.

"Which is?"

"Us."

"Mother, please listen to me," pleaded River, "at least hear me."

"Now... if we don't come back - and we might not…" I said.

"Grandmother!"

"…go to the TARDIS. The fast return protocols should be on, she'll take you home, then shut herself down."

River walked up to Annabelle, "There has to be another way. Use the TARDIS, use something. Save her, yes, but for God's sake, be sensible!" She raised her hand to slap Annabelle but Annabelle grabbed her hand. "How are you even doing that? I'm not really here."

"You are always here, to us," said I, "We always listen and we can always see you."

"Then why didn't you speak to me?"

"We thought it would hurt too much," said The Doctor.

"I believe I could have coped!"

"No. we thought it would hurt us," said Annabelle, "And we were right," we all hugged River.

Then, The Doctor said, "Since the others can't see you, God knows how that looked."

"There is a time to live and a time to sleep," said Annabelle, "You are an echo, River. Like Clara. Like all of us, in the end. It's our fault, I know, but you should've faded by now."

"It's hard to leave when you haven't said goodbye," said River.

"I don't think I can say that," said Annabelle. I took Annabelle's hand to comfort her. There was a good chance that this would be the last time we would ever see my granddaughter.

"There's only one way I would accept," said River, "Say it like you're going to come back."

Annabelle smiled, "See you later, Medody."

"Till the next time, Mother."

"Don't wait up."

"Oh, there's one more thing."

"Isn't there always?" I said.

"I was mentally linked with Clara," said River, "If she's really dead, then how can I still be here?"

"OK. How?" asked The Doctor.

"Spoilers. Goodbye, sweeties," Then she faded away.

After a moment, we looked at each other. Then, we turned around, took a deep breath, held hands and then stepped into our timeline.

A few moments later, we could see Clara. She was a on a hazy gold-colored version of Trenzalore. She was stitting in a mist, crying. We could see her but we couldn't reach her. "Please! Please, I don't know where I am." she cried.

"Clara," called out The Doctor. She stopped crying and lifted her head, "You can hear me, I know you can."

"I can't see you." she said.

"We're everywhere," I said, "You're inside our time stream. Everything around you is us."

We could see flashes of each of our past selves walking past her, "I can see you," said Clara, "All your different faces, they're here."

"Those are our ghosts," said Annabelle, "Our past. Every good day, every bad day."

Just then, we were hit with a pain and we all cried out in anguish. Then, there was a clap of thunder. Clara fell to the ground and asked, "What's wrong, what's happening?"

"We're inside our own time stream," said Annabelle, "it's collapsing in on itself."

"Well, get out, then!"

"Not until we've got you," I said.

"I don't even know who I am," said Clara.

"You're our Impossible Girl," said The Doctor, "I'm sending you something - not from our past, from yours. Look up. Look." Just then Clara's leaf, the one she gave up on Akhaten, floated down to her, "This is you, Clara. Everything you were or will be. Take it." Clara took the leaf, "You blew into the world on this leaf. Hold tight. It will take you home."

Clara staggered along the path, "Clara!" I called to her, "Clara! Come on!" Clara turned around and saw us.

"Come on, to us, now," said The Doctor, "You can do it, I know you can."

"How?" she asked.

"Because it's impossible. And you're our Impossible Girl."

Clara walked slowly toward us, "How many times have you saved us, Clara?" I asked, "Just this once let us save you! You have to trust us, Clara, We're real. Just one more step."

Clara reached us and we surrounded her and hugged her tightly, "Clara. My Clara," said The Doctor as he kissed her head. I looked up at The Doctor and he was looking at something.

I turned and looked in the direction he was looking. I saw something I never thought I'd see in person. There was a man standing there with is back to us. Even thought I couldn't see his face I knew who it was. We let go of Clara and she turned to see what we saw, "Who's that?"

"Never mind," I said as I took Clara's hand and started to take her the way back, "let's go back."

"But who is he?" asked Clara.

"He's me," said The Doctor, "There's only us three, that's the point. Now let's get back."

"But I never saw that one," said Clara, as she looked at The Doctor, "I saw all of you. 11 faces, all of them you. You're the 11th Doctor."

"I said he was me. I never said he was the Doctor."

"I don't understand."

The Doctor slapped his palm to his forehead, "Look, my name, my real name - that is not the point. The name I chose is the Doctor. The name you choose, it's like a promise you make." he looked at the man, "He's the one who broke the promise."

Just then Clara fainted and fell against The Doctor, "Clara?" I asked "Clara! Clara!"

The Doctor picked up Clara in his arms and said, "He is my secret."

Just then we heard the man speak, "What I did, I did without choice."

"I know," said The Doctor.

"In the name of peace and sanity."

"But not in the name of the Doctor." Then, The Doctor turned around and we headed home…

A/N: Hey everyone. When this chapter is going up it's Memorial Day here in the USA. I would like to thank everyone who served this country to keep it free.
