CHAPTER 22 

GOODBYES THAT WILL BE FORGOTTEN

He frowned deeply.

“Your attachment to me might not be what’s best for you…” the Doctor said as he quickly caressed my cheek.

“Maybe you’re right, but I my attachment to you is what has kept me alive so far,” I admit with complete honesty.

The look on his face was unreadable as he analyzed my face closely. I bit my lower lip in worry. There was no way he didn’t know I loved him now.

But he was pulled away from our moment when the alien spoke again.

“Drop the device!” it warned the watchman, taking about his torchlight.

“It’s not a weapon! Scan it! Not a weapon and you don’t have the power to waste!” the Doctor yelled to it.

“That’s what you think!” the watchman replied and too rapidly to get a good look, he took out a gun and shot the alien right in its eyestalk.

Its energy drained and the watchman walked out of the shadows, revealing himself as Rory. I sighed in relief to see the 2000 years didn’t kill him.

I watched from afar as Amy and Rory shared a beautiful moment that made me smile from ear to ear. He had waiting literally 2000 years for her… Never could I imagine a better love story than the one of Amelia Pond and Rory Williams.

My mind was spinning. Everything was going so fast! Too fast! I just wanted everything to stop for one! For everything to just stand still to let me think, to let me grief.

Here’s what I understood.

The alien was a Dalek, the biggest enemy of Time Lords. The sun was actually the TARDIS exploding. The Doctor saved River from the heart of the explosion. The Doctor said he was dying in 12 minutes when him dying in front of us was actually a distraction so he can get to the Pandorica box and send himself into the explosion, saving the universe with a Big Bang Two. Right now, the Doctor was sitting in the Pandorica, getting ready for his big blast off, talking to Amy alone, saying their last goodbyes.

My head was going to explode! So many paradoxes I couldn’t possibly explain more than that. All I knew now is that the Doctor was going to stop existing... Stop from ever existing!

I cried once more. This day had been impossibly emotionally exhausting. As Amy and the Doctor spoke, I didn’t think he would ask to see me alone, but when Amy joined Rory and I again, she told me he was waiting for me and that he didn’t have much time left.

Shaking, I stood up and made my way to him. He looked weak and tired.

“Doctor…” I shook my head. “Please, don’t…”

“I have to… it’s me or the universe, AJ,” he said softly.

“You do realize what will happen to me if you disappear, right?” I sobbed.

An immense sadness appeared on his face. A slight anger as well. He knew perfectly well what would happen to me. I found find myself back to being Leonardo’s slave… There was a silence as we both thought about it. Then I realized that this was for sure that last time I would even talk to him. My last chance.

“Doctor… I-I love you…”

It didn’t come out at firmly and sure of myself like I would have wanted it to, but I said it, no going back now.

His green eyes looking into mine so softly and kindly. He didn’t say a word, yet I knew there was something there in the way he looked at me. I leaned in, pressing my lips onto his, pouring every bit of my feelings for him into the kiss. He kissed me back for a moment, but he also was the one to break the kiss.

“I have to go now…” he announced.

I nodded sadly and backed away to where the others were.

He spoke to all of us now.

“There’s going to be a very big bang. The Big Bang Two. Try to remember your families and they’ll be there.”

I thought darkly that I didn’t have a family to remember.

“How can I remember them if they never existed?” Amy replied.

I knew for a fact she lived alone with her aunt.

“Because… you’re special. That crack in your wall, all the time, the universe pouring into your head. You brought Rory back… You can bring them back to. You just remember and they’ll be there,” he explained.

 “You won’t,” she replied, tears streaming on her cheeks.

“You’ll have your family, you don’t need your imaginary friend anymore,” he laughed weakly. “Amy Pond… crying over me, heh? Guess what?”

“What?”

“Gotcha,” he smiled and the Pandorica closed.

Everyone was getting a happy non painful ending but me… The Doctor would simply disappear while Amy and Rory went back to their lives with their family and get married…

River pushed us all back as the Pandorica launched into the sky like a rocket.

We all sat on the floor, leaning against the wall as we waiting for the moment this whole day – the last few months even – would disappear. I felt from my right, River’s gaze on me. I looked over at her to see what she was in fact looking at me. To my surprised, she smiled to me. I didn’t know why, but I smiled back and didn’t protest when he reached and took my hand in hers. It was actually comforting.

Her communicator biped and she took it.

“It’s a message from the Doctor,” she said.

“What does it say?” Amy questioned.

I leaned down a little and read one word on the screen.

Geronimo.
