The Doctor stood at the door to the TARDIS afraid to go beyond the wall that separated him from his worst fear.
A voice inside him echoed off the sides of his head. "Go, just go. It might make you cry and be filled with sorrow, but it might also fill
you with a fresh burst of happiness and hope."
The Doctor sighed and pushed open the door. "Well then, Geronimo!"
A mix of both darkness and light surrounded him making art in the vast sky as he emerged.
Ghosts of familiar faces from all of time and space were scattered everywhere, each making something that the Doctor had somehow forgotten flood back into his head.
The Doctor swallowed trying to get rid of the huge lump in his throat.
"hello" he said feebly
Nothing moved.
"hello" he hung his head in despair.
But then he felt a small tap on his right shoulder.
"doctor, it's me."
He turned to see a face of love, a face of kindness.
"Rose"
"yes doctor it's me. Everyone is here. Everyone that you've ever met,everyone you've helped. They're all here doctor, and they're here for you."
"Why me?"
"because you're the doctor. Because where ever you go you make an explosion of hope. You are and always will be the doctor."
"but I'm just a man that rode around in a blue box. I'm not important. If i disappeared everything would be fine. In fact everything would be better."
"if you asked anybody here they would say that you were more then just a man. You are a hero. You would come and go like a summer breeze, but you would not leave anything untouched. You fixed things that people didn't even realize needed fixed. You're more than the doctor, you are a friend, a friend to the whole universe. You once said that in 900 years in time and space you've never met anyone that was unimportant. didn't you?"
"Yes but, I didn't meet myself did I? "
"You met each one of your incarnations, didn't you? "
"Well I suppose if you put it like that, i guess i did. But that doesn't matter."
"it does to us!"
"listen rose, I'm no hero. They are , you are the heros. Without you, i don't think I really would be the doctor. You were more then just companions, you were my hands to hold along the way. You were what made me the doctor. You made me the hero you say I am. So, I guess what I'm about to say is way overdue. Thank you. Thank you for being my hands to hold."
Rose stood there with a grin on her face.
"what? Why are you giving me that look? Are you up to something? Rose , what did you do?"
"oh I didn't do anything. You did. "
She nodded torwards a group of people behind the doctor, all with tears in their eyes and hearts touched.
He could see clara, sarah jane, donna noble, mickey, martha, rory, amy, river ,and even a girl he had never seen before.
"um hello.Did you hear all of that?"
He gestured torward rose.
They all nodded, each at different times.
Clara came up to him first.
" hello, my clever boy."
He smiled
" hello, my impossible girl."
Clara hugged him and whispered in his ear.
" and remember. "
Many more of his old friends came up doing the same thing.
The girl he had seen came up to him to.
" do you know me? "
The doctor thought for a second.
" no I'm afraid I don't."
" I was afraid of that. Oh I guess it doesn't matter. I just wanted to say thank you, for what you said. It meant alot to me. Anyways, bye"
She skipped off back into the massive croud.
The doctor stared and then turned to talk to more people.

It went on like that for what seemed like days, but in the end The Doctor had to leave.
"Goodbye. I will never forget any of you. " The Doctor waved a hand and hurried to the TARDIS before he cried. They were tears of joy, for after 903 years of space and time The Doctor was finally at peace.

The End
