From 10, With Love

(Directly after Doomsday, on The Runaway Bride.)

Dear Rose,

I know that you'll never actually read these, but the doctor (I know you would have laughed at that, even if it is a horrible pun) said this might help me cope. First off, I miss you so much. I know you're safer where you are now, but I wish you were still traveling with me. I never even got a chance to say good bye. I met someone today: ok, so more of she randomly materialized on the TARDIS, but you know what I mean. She was ginger. I wish I was ginger... Her name was Donna Noble. She was in a wedding dress. A wedding dress, of all things. She was also a bit rude... I was very confused when she first arrived, it should have been impossible. She just came out of nowhere. She said that TARDIS wasn't even a real word! She was very rude... I know you never would have been that rude... AND SHE SLAPPED ME!!!!!! The only other person to ever slap me was your mother! And then she found your jacket. She asked about you. I didn't like her much. She also thought that stuff bigger on the inside was weird. She CUSSED at me and then ran away! She thought I was a martian. Then the creepy fake Santas with instumental cannons kidnapped her. I'm obviously Santa. They looked nothing like me. I had to chase the car with the TARDIS. So, skip to the interesting part. The man she was about to get married to was actually an ally to a  spider-like alien who turned on him to feed her babies, and I had to save her. It would have been so much easier if you were there with me. Very dull. She ended up slamming into a steel wall. And she didn't even get me any cookies for saving her!!! SHE DIDN'T GET ME ANY COOKIES!!!!!!! I offered the spider a planet for her children and her, but she refused me kindness. She didn't know my pockets were bigger on the inside, either. She made me get scary. I don't like getting scary. You wouldn't have liked it. I'm sure you would have come up with some clever plan to do it peacefully, but I was still so mad about you leaving. They drowned. Then Donna said I could stop. It reminded me of you, of your kindness. I knew I had to stop. The humans took care of the rest. They shot down her ship, and her in it. Did I mention we did this all on Christmas Eve? I made it snow for her. I thought you would like that. I know you loved the snow. I told her she could come with me, but she didn't want to. She saw my scary side. She asked your name. Oh, how I miss you, Rose.

I wish you were here.
