Chapter Text
TARDIS, Cardiff, 2006 (Boom Town)
Rose walked into the TARDIS after saying goodbye to Mickey. She knew that because of her adventures with the Doctor, she hadn't been treating him or her mother too kindly or with much attention but she also knew that she wanted to value the time she spent with the Doctor. But before she could say anything to the two that were already inside, a bright light enveloped the trio.
TARDIS, Chiswick, 2008 (The Poison Sky)
As Donna came back from saying goodbye to her grandfather, Wilf, Martha knew it was also her to say her goodbyes. However, before she could get her words something in the window of the door caught her eye. It seemed to have caught Donna and the Doctor's as well because all three turned just as the light engulfed them.
Williams' Residence, Leadworth, 2012
Amy and Rory Williams sat in the living room, sipping on mugs of tea. They were joined by their daughter, River who had come to visit after a hectic adventure with The Doctor. The walls adorned with pictures and knickknacks from their countless adventures, trips and just normal life.
One short year ago, Amy and Rory wouldn't have believed they were finally getting to know their precious Melody but now the three childhood friends could talk in comfort, laughter and stories flowing freely. And yet they were also taken by the bright light.
Clara's Flat, Coal Hill, 2013 (The Time of the Doctor)
Clara had just finished pleading for the Doctor to be her fake boyfriend and save her from the awkward Christmas dinner conversations when she noticed something glimmering in the corner of her kitchen. Of course, it could just be a bit of broken glass but this light seemed to entrance her. Before she could look any further the light grew and swallowed the room, the same thing happening to the Doctor on the other side of the phone.
St. Luke's University, Bristol, 2017
It was 17:59 and Bill had just made it to see The Doctor. She walked into the office to see Nardole handing him some tea with a hint of coffee (for the flavour). The clock rang as the time hit 18:00 and the Doctor held up his hand as if to say something was wrong. However, before he could go on another rant about what he thought was wrong, the trio's vision was drowned by a bright light.
??
The 9th Doctor, along with Rose and Jack, wakes up in a dimly lit cinema. The flickering light from the movie screen casted an eerie glow across the empty rows of seats. The air is thick with a sense of mystery as they exchange puzzled glances.
Shortly after, the 10th Doctor, materializes in the same cinema, looking bewildered. He spots the 9th Doctor and Rose, his eyes widening in surprise. His face first lights up before realising she would not recognise him, though when they made eye contact her eyes lingered for a moment with what could have been recognition.
In a burst of light, the 11th Doctor arrives followed by Clara. His trademark bowtie slightly askew, the 11th Doctor surveys the scene, joining the collective confusion. He immediately notices his dear wife and best friends. Would he have to explain why he wasn't travelling with them?
The 12th Doctor materializes with a sharp and inquisitive gaze. Bill and Nardole follow, looking around with a mix of curiosity and caution. There was his lost forever Rose, Martha who got away to live the way she wanted, Donna who had forgotten him, his 'sweetie' River, the Ponds who sacrificed their lives for him and each other and another who he remembered but he didn't. He had met her at a café but he thought he had met her before that. It almost seemed impossible. (soz that was cringe 💋)
