Sorry this took so long. But, to make up for that: TARDIS fix! We're nearing the end, but I think there's going to be one last part.

Thanks to mynxii for the location suggestion. It worked really well.

Oh, and all of the chapter have cool little headers now. :D

Oh i love it!

So sweet and lovely :)

Thank you! :)

[tsukara]

No, thank you. :D

Oh, this is beautiful! All poignant and bittersweet, and I really thought you were working up to having Rose decide to leave him, or him leave her behind 'for her own good' - until that moment when he's watching her and acknowledging she's pregnant.

and that answers the question I was wondering about in chapter 2.

There's so much I could quote here, but I think these final lines touched me most:
And there it is again: That feeling of teetering on the edge of some precipice. A familiar one, but it still manages to set her heart racing at the thought of flying off on wings of time and light rather than feathers and wax. He steps back from her, leaving a space as big as themselves between them, smiles at her. “Do you want to come with me?”

Perfect!

Now I just want the final chapter. Please?

[tsukara]

Oh, thank you so much. I really love reading your comments. This is the chapter I like the most so far, and am glad that other people are liking it as well. :D

and that answers the question I was wondering about in chapter 2.
Indeed it does.

Thank you so much for your compliment. And I'm happy you're enjoying this. Thank you. :D

Wow, your writing (which was always good) has come on in leaps and bounds. I was moved and fascinated by the conversation about him saying ILY. You're very good at capturing his otherness and the demands of that relationship. You have a lovely poetic style, a great ability to hint at what's really going on underneath the surface of what's being said, and the rare ability to evoke a setting in a few simple phrases. I am awed.

[tsukara]

Oh, thank you so much. The things I've read in Lit. class this year seem to have had quite the effect on my writing...but I would definately give a lot of the credit to you as well.

That conversation really came out of me wondering why (other than the obvious facts of it being a children's show, etc.) he didn't say it on the beach. And it went from there.

Again, thank you so much. Hearing this from you makes me so happy.

OH! I LOVE this so much! I just read all chapters now, and I can't get enough

[tsukara]

Oh, thank you for all of your kind words. They are much appreciated. I can't say thank you enough, really. :D

Well, most suburbs are sort of towns. they just got too close to the real thing and got...eated up. Ha. But as I imagined it, from looking at GoogleEarth and comparing it to how Portland looks (never actually having been to Australia), I have this idea that they're basically suburbs with a little more space between them and the city center. Like my town: We're technically a suburb, but we like to call ourselves our own city.

Oh, I've had Waltzing Matilda stuck in my head since I finished this.

Again, thank you so very, very much for all of your kind words.

Oh, as for the other part: I do realize that Western Australia is a state. But so was New York. It depends on the place. For example, New York, I don't have to state that it's the one in the United States, it's implied. It just depends on what I decide. Sorry if it's confusing...
