When Universes Collide

Spoilers & Coffee...Hope Who?

The Doctor: Right, so fill me in why don't you? Tell me what I should about this universe.
He asks as they walked off the grass of the park into the street.

Hope: Hmm well it's basically the same as your universe, except we've had no alien invasions, no planets in the sky, no Atraxi threatening to boil the planet, nothing dangerous really.

The Doctor: Oh really?
The Doctor questioned looking a bit disappointed.

The Doctor: Okay, never mind that then, what about my "tv show"
He asked making air quotes when he said tv show.

Hope: You're one of the most popular Tv series's in Britain, you're also popular to the Americans to. Loved and adored by millions of fans. Honestly you're just brilliant.

The Doctor: Wow I'm amazed, more than amazed flattered, but also curious. What was the last major event of mine to be "televised"?

Hope: hmm well what was your last adventure?

The Doctor: Well Amy and Rory are enjoying there honeymoon, and I just rewrote the history of an old man to save a world with flying fish from a crashing spacecraft.

Hope: Ohh a "Christmas Carol", I remember that episode. I know where you're headed, watch out for the si...

The Doctor: Nooo
The Doctor quickly held his hand over her mouth.

The Doctor: You mustn't tell me about my future, I can't know anything, even if I ask don't tell me anything. Let's make that rule number 62.

Hope: Got it, spoiler free.
She winked

The Doctor: Blimey it's like a day with River again... but yes, no spoilers

Hope: Wait, what other adventures have you had with River aside from the Byzantium, and Big Bang Two?
She questioned confused The Doctor seemed to understand.

The Doctor: Every show is created around a fictional universe, just because a universe is portrayed "on-screen", that doesn't mean we don't have adventures "off-screen". Seems your" TV" show doesn't know everything. Guess I still can have secrets then. Eh?
The Doctor teased.

Hope stared amazed at how sharp his mind really was

They stopped at The Luner Eclipse a local cafe and ordered coffee.

The Doctor, I remember coming here with Amy and Rory one day, love the donuts theyʻre amazing, Amy and me had a debate back then about here, or Starbucks
He said cheerfully.

The Doctor: So Hope enough about me, tell me about yourself.

Hope: I'm just a strange girl that lives her life, obsessed with the Doctor, everybody is so judgmental though. They've labeled me as a freak because of my "passion".

The Doctor: Well what about your friends?

Hope: What friends? I'm shunned by everybody because of me weirdness. I have a few friends yeah but they're not even real, they're more like acquaintances.
Her eyes started to water

The Doctor stared at Hope with his big sad blue eyes.

The Doctor: Listen to me Hope, life is full of good people, and bad people, the bad people can be overwhelming, believe me I know, but I've lived over 900 years, so believe me when I say that you're definitely not a freak for having a passion, look at me every time I come across a fez, or a Stetson, or a top hat, actually I'd love a top hat, wait, wait, wait, that's not the point. The point is don't listen to others, you determine who you are, not them.

Hope now in tears stared the Doctor straight in the eyes, and saw the most kindness she's ever seen in someone ever, no wonder he had two hearts, because he was twice as kind, twice as wonderful, twice as happy.

Hope: Thank you Doctor
She said as she stood up and gave him a great big hug

The Doctor: Right, I think that's enough coffee for now.
Taking one last sip, and throwing the cup over his shoulder.

Hope: So what now?

The Doctor: Let's get back to the Tardis, see how she's doing. Who knows what you lot in this universe might do if they saw it...ya know on second thought maybe I should've turned her on invisible.
He said with a slightly worried look.

Hope: Well what are we waiting for, c'mon!

They left the cafe, and started waking back to the park.
