At the edge of time and space stood the Doctor and his TARDIS. The Doctor opened the smaller door that housed the phone and placed a book.

"Time Travel: A Guide and History" by John Smith

"I guess this is it, old girl." The Doctor said. "All this running coming to a sudden end."

The Doctor closed the small door and placed his hand on the frame.

"Who'd have thought that after all the times I saved the universe, that it would still be on the verge of destruction? I sure didn't. Where would it be without me?"

The Doctor looked up at the windows. They glowed with a warm, welcoming light.

"Without us....All of this hasn't been without it's cost. I'm old, with more scars on my hearts than stars in the sky. And you..."

The Doctor traced his finger accross the cracks on the windows.
"Oh, my TARDIS...My beautiful, sexy TARDIS...You've endured it all with me. Never leaving my side. I could never have asked for anyone better to have traveled the oceans of time and space with me."

The Doctor kissed the door of the TARDIS and stepped back, turning away from the TARDIS. He felt the warm tears falling down his face.

"Now it's time for me to save the universe one last time. To make the ultimate sacrifice for the existence of everyone I have ever loved. I hope you will forgive me."

The Doctor took a few steps away from the TARDIS. He turned and took out his sonic screwdriver. He pointed it at the TARDIS.

"Fly away, my sexy girl. Find yourself a new Thief."

With that the Doctor used his screwdriver. The TARDIS dematerialized.

"...I love you..."
The TARDIS tumbled through the time vortex. Grieving her Thief through all of time and space. There's no way to know how long she grieved. Stars were born and died. Civilizations rose and fell. Yet she paid them no mind and kept crying her non-physical tears.

The TARDIS fell through the many cracks in the universe that were being sealed with the Doctor's blood. The blood of a good, kind man. The blood of the universe's savior.

The universe in where she finally landed seemed to radiate with Artron energy. There must be a Time Lord here.

Where ever she landed was dark and seemingly deserted. Until one day there was a light. A purple unicorn descended the stairs and began to work at a chemistry set. The unicorn paid the TARDIS no mind. She just continued to work until she was satisfied that she had accomplished her task. She turned to leave but stopped. Had she noticed the TARDIS at last?

Suddenly the book that had fallen out of the TARDIS was wrapped in a purple glow and brought towards the unicorn's face. She stared at it for a moment, puzzled. She shrugged and retreated upstairs, taking the book with her.

The lights in the TARDIS windows dimmed to a faint blue as the TARDIS waited. Alone.
