The other pond- the tale of a ginger

FILLER- bens letter

Hi guys! This chapter is a filler but it's quite important. SO PLEASE READ!!

"hello, Doctor. River told me this letter would end up in your hands. And so here we are.

If I didn't have the chance to have a conversation with you while we met, Let me do so now.

My name is Ben James smithy.

I lived in leadWorth my entire life

Rory Williams was my best mate.
Amy pond was... well she was scary.
Then there was melody...........scary as well.

And then Bella.
Isabella hope pond.
She was beautiful.

she never stopped talking about you, doctor- from the minute She met you. You were always on her mind.

You were her raggedy man with a time machine.

People called her crazy. They called both the ponds crazy. But I knew she wasn't lying.

When she talked about you there was such excitement in her voice. And a gleam In her eyes.

Anyway. So I grew up with her. Fell in love with her more and more each day.

When we were teenagers, I used to wait outside her house everyday and then take her out to lunch.

I had a massive crush on her.
But she never glanced at me twice.

But one day I got the courage to ask her out- took her to her favourite pizza place. I know the key to that girls heart. And To my surprise she said yes.

We were together for a while after that.

And then I proposed to her on a beach- best day of my life.

We were straight away planning our wedding, actually. People told us it was too soon to get married. But we knew better than people. Isabella pond was the only girl I will ever love.

And then it happened. I don't remember exactly the details. But I was walking down an alley way- the one she always told me not to go down. Bella said it was dodgy. And I normally didn't, but this day was different. Next thing I know I'm on the floor. A crack appears above me. And this white light spreads out. Pulling me in.

Now I've done my research. I know about the crack in the universe.

It wiped me from the world. Ben smithy never existed. And it placed me in a different time.

They don't remember me. No one does.
But I still remember them.
It's painful.
It hurts.

But the image of her is what motivates me. I mean I joined an army. Became a captain. All for the hope that river would get me to meet her.

And so if I did. No matter what the outcome for me is. Know that my heart and life are both fulfilled. Getting to see her eyes one last time. Or to hear her voice. That's enough to fill any mans heart.

But doctor. I do need to ask one thing of you. I ask that you look after her.

She's vulnerable. She'll never admit it. But she wants someone to look after her. To guide her.

And I wish for you to be that person.

Guide her through the stars. Show her that she is loved. Forever.

Show her that she is special- because she'll never believe it.

I talk to river often- secretly. She tells me of bella's rule.

Doctor. Break her rule.

Let her heart be free to roam.

Because I know that whatever path it takes. However far it wonders. It will always lead back to you.

And I'm ok with that.

Bells is my world.

And I know she will soon mean more than that to you as well.

And if you ever get the chance. If you are ever able. Tell her this.

Tell her there was a boy who fell in love with her the moment he saw her.

A boy who took in every word she said.

A boy who fought to see her.

Someone who would give up everything to be near her.

Tell her the story of Ben smithy."
