Doctor Who Drabble: Earth's End

[bk_forever]

Title: Earth's End
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ninth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 478: Spectacular at dw100.
Spoilers: The End of the World.
Summary: Earth’s sun is about to go nova.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




There are few sights more spectacular than a star going nova, and it’s a sight the Doctor has seen more than a few times on his travels, but this time there’s an added poignancy. This isn’t just any old star, it’s Sol, the sun that’s nourished and nurtured earth for billions of years, and it’s about to explode in fiery glory, taking the entire solar system with it.


Earth, the Doctor’s favourite little backwater planet, the birthplace of humanity; its people will continue, scattered throughout the universe, but the planet itself will soon be nothing but cinders.


Nothing lasts forever.



The End

The Doctor sure knows how to pick a first trip for a companion.*deadpan*

I know he was trying to make Rose have a better understanding of his own personal experience.

I think it was a good choice because it was reklevant to Rose but allowed her to meet a selection of alien races.

ROSE: Hello. My name's Rose. That's a sort of plant. We might be related.

Where she ended up taking to a twig. Well, it was a gift from Jabe the tree to the Doctor.

I thought the sapient trees were a fascinating idea.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yes. More interesting than Rose thought. I hated that Jabe died.:(

[bk_forever]

Me too, but she was a hero.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It was a self-sacrifice.

I feel sad for the Doctor when he loses someone like that.:(

[bk_forever]

Me too =(

Must be a slightly emotional moment :)

[bk_forever]

I imagine so.

Thank you!
