I left that universe almost immediately after the accident. Sure, I stayed for Liam's funeral, but after that I left without anyone noticing. On the morning of the funeral, the weather was beautiful. It didn't fit Liam's death at all, so I decided to change it. Using my T.A.R.D.I.S., I created a rainstorm to fit the mood. Of course, I gave Andr some protection first, knowing that she was weak to water. I gave her my latest invention: a force-field generator. It would make sure that not one drop of water touched her. I like to think of it as my parting gift. As for Nathalie, I gave her a custom-made Ocarina. I made it from a potato. It was going to be a present for Liam, but now he's dead. Seriously though, the kid was obsessed with potatoes. I taught Nathalie every song I knew for the Ocarina, and then I gave her a blank music sheet so she could write her own song. I told her that if she ever needed me, she should just play her special song, and the T.A.R.D.I.S. would detect it. Once the funeral was over, I finished repairing my T.A.R.D.I.S., since the Self-Repair circuit was broken. Death has been following me for my whole life. I lost my planet, my species, and now two of my friends. I had nothing left in that universe. Anyways, I decided to go back to what I was doing before I crashed. Translation: getting shot every five minutes. For fun, I decided to hack into the U.S. government's nuclear missile program again. I armed the warheads, prepared the ever-constant cancellation code, and cancelled the detonation at the last second. They will neeeeeeeeeever catch me. Unless I let them, of course. I hack them whenever they get annoying, which is often. They can try and keep it a secret, but I know that they're lying. After doing that, I was attacked by the Daleks (again). It wasn't too hard to kill them, they're so slow. All I had to do was run and swing my sword. I know that I'm not supposed to run with sharp objects, but it was a life-or-death situation. I had to take risks. After killing them, I ripped out their eyestalks as a trophy of my victory. I have millions of these "trophies" in my T.A.R.D.I.S.. Then I decided to maybe do a little bit of training in the T.A.R.D.I.S. gym for a few hours. I set the training mode to "Speed", and put it at maximum difficulty. I had no trouble beating the course. After I got back to the console room, I saw that the repaired monitor was detecting strange noises from another universe. I knew immediately that it was Nathalie playing her potato ocarina that I gave her. The T.A.R.D.I.S. wouldn't have detected it if it wasn't important. I was starting to wonder why she needed to see me so soon after I had left. I figured that she was just trying her special song for the first time. But a few minutes later, the T.A.R.D.I.S. detected the same song once again. I knew now that she wasn't testing the song, she really did want to see me for some reason. I started entering coordinates into the console for the Minecraft universe immediately. I still couldn't figure out why she summoned me so soon, but I knew better than to keep her waiting. She would kill me if I ignored her. So I finished entering the coordinates, put the T.A.R.D.I.S. on auto-pilot, and got about 70 books to read. I can read extremely fast, and I never forget anything I read. I think that my personal best reading time was 2 seconds. I just flip through pages, getting a brief glimpse of each page (about 0.00000025 seconds per page), and can recite the whole book cover-to-cover. Even by Timelord standards I'm a genius. Anyways, when I finished the books for the second time in 5 minutes, the T.A.R.D.I.S. had already started to materialize into physical reality once again. I wasn't sure what to expect once I opened the doors. There wasn't any way to tell me what had happened by simply playing an ocarina. I was worried that I had arrived really late. Or really early. Time travel, it messes with your head. I looked at my pocket watch, which instantly synchronizes with the local universe and tells me the exact time anywhere, anywhen, and was relieved to see that I had arrived just 5 minutes after Nathalie played her song (which I will now call the Song of Summoning). At least I wasn't late this time. But I still had to leave the T.A.R.D.I.S. and find out what Nathalie summoned me for. And what she wanted was for me to meet an old friend whom I thought was lost forever.

*Author's Notes* I know that the ending to this chapter is stupid, and reintroduces another main character way too soon, but I was running out of creativity. My next chapter will hopefully be better.
