You've reached the Doctor. I'm not available just now, but leave me a note and I'll see about getting back to you.

I nicked one.

But I also have better things to direct my anger at---though that doeesn't mean I encourage a repeat performance.

[notthedoctor]

[That can't be precisely good but it was better than nothing.]

Oh? What's got your knickers in a twist?

[fantastix]

That I lost all sense of myself for the past week.

And I think I've missed an explosion of dramatics. Not that I'd otherwise mind, but people I care about aren't being their usual selves.

[notthedoctor]

Well, no, that's never good. Others mentioned that you weren't about although you were still here. I'm glad to see you weren't lost.

Rose has returned.

Who isn't? What's going on?

[fantastix]

Eight.

I'm not getting much of a response from him.

[notthedoctor]

I've been speaking to him. I know what happened, I think. The same thing that happened to you and Ten.

It'll be all right. [He gives Nine a cheerful smile. Good thing he doesn't know Ten to detect any unsureness.] I promise.

What about you? With Rose?

[fantastix]

I hope so. Don't tell him I've said anything, if you can help yourself, but I'm concerned.

Rose is fine! I'm glad I found her again.

[notthedoctor]

I've got a way with him. I understand what's wrong. It's like you and Rose.

You love her, don't you? Still?

[fantastix]

I never stopped.

[notthedoctor]

We don't often get second chances, Doctor, not without breaking the rules instead of bending them. Maybe you should tell her this time around. Many times.

[fantastix]

...I'm working on it.

[notthedoctor]

I hope so, Doctor. If not, someone else may. And soon.

[fantastix]

Who else?

[notthedoctor]

That's not important, Doctor. What is important is that you should do it. You might never get to again. You might never get to look her in the face, whisper it into her ear and know she feels the same. Time might not be on your side.

[fantastix]

I know that now.

[notthedoctor]

Good.

Best of luck, Doctor. Let me know how it turns out.
