“rose tyler, yes, yes of course i recognize you. sorry, i’ve been so busy with all of this,” she said, gesturing to the piles of paper in front of her, “that i didn’t even notice. i’m so glad to have a familiar face around though.” and it made her feel like she was burning again, for just a second, her head hurting with the heaviness of knowledge that she couldn’t handle, before it luckily passed. “though, having you here just adds to the crazy research pile. you were definitely supposed to be stuck in another dimension.” with another human version of the doctor that donna had played a part in creating. it was the story she would have found absolutely ridiculous if it weren’t completely brilliant in its own right. “you don’t think- it’s not happening again right? i’ve been trying to figure out how i got here, but nothing seems weird with space, so i figured something smaller, maybe aliens just trying to get the doctor’s attention by displacing people rather than some grand universal domination scheme.” but who was to say when it felt like anything at all could be a possibility.
