I wonder how long I was supposed to be in the dark about this whole idea?
He’s doing his best to avoid my eyes, avoid looking at me, and avoid looking at the DoctorDonna, but there, at least, it’s because his… our… hearts are breaking, knowing what has to be with her. There has never been a metacrisis like her, and soon, oh, too soon, my brilliant DoctorDonna won’t be anymore.
Ah, but you’ve sidetracked me, Spaceman, even in my own head. (Oi, seems that is stuck in there, now, thanks, Donna.) I know why the Tardis is shaking so much, even with the extra hands to stabilize her. You’re going back, while you still can, going back to gaze across that bay to the ocean, and crush her hopes one last time.
You say I’m the dangerous one, killing all the Daleks yet again. Hear that, Doctor? Again. Don’t be so high and mighty about it, this isn’t the first time for either of us.
I only killed the Daleks, a race that wants to destroy everything that isn’t Dalek kind. You destroyed two civilizations, one of which, I admit, was trying to destroy all of Time and creation. Those reasons make a great smokescreen, there, Spaceman. It hides the real reason from Rose and Jackie, and from you, very well.
But I, as only Donna could of all your Companions, and being me, which is you, can see past the fog and the smoke that you’ve blown around and see the Storm in your eyes, even if everyone else can’t. There’s one reason you don’t want Rose with you anymore: so she won’t see what is happening inside you. And given time, she would, we both know that.
No one should see the Breaking of the Oncoming Storm. No survives it, Doctor.
Not even you.
