I'll pretend it doesn't hurt anymore.

What hurts?

Being alone.

You're not still alone, are you? After all this time?

I guess it's a matter of what you consider alone.

Still alive, though. Living, doing my best, all that.

Well, usually it has to do with not having anyone.

Living the good life?

Is that it? Or is it just about feeling alone, even when you've got people around?

Yeah, I am. I think you'd like what I've got on over here. What about you? Anything special?

Do you feel alone, Rose?

I got a haircut.

Sometimes more than others.

Really? What's it like?

You've still got your Mum. Mickey-Mick-Mick. More than a lot of people have.

It's pretty much the same. Just a little bigger in the front.

Mum and Dad are doing well. The baby and all that. It's louder at the house, but I've got my own place. And Mickey's doing well, too. Out on his own a good bit, I think he's found something he's been looking for. I'm all right with that.

What made you want to change?

Not you, though? Still looking?

Things can't stay the same forever.

I've found someone. He's not exactly in the area, though.

I guess forever's a long time.

Really? Oh, well...uh. I hear the hearts of London blokes breaking.

A very long time.

Yea, he's not from London. Bit far out, really.

Oh, he's not Welsh, is he?

Oh, he's from a good ways away.

Oh. Oh!

Found yourself another alien, eh?

Only one alien in my life, Doctor. But it's worth it.

What about you? Got someone special?

You shouldn't wait around for me forever. You only have one life.

Yeah, actually. She's big and blue and doesn't talk much, but she's mine.

I promise I'm still living a good life. Been doing all the things I said I would, and more.

How is the girl doing?

I'm glad. It would be worse than just having you there is having you there and knowing you're unhappy.

Oh, you know. Wheezing and groaning, taking me anywhere but where I tell her to.

I still miss you. I mean, I know you're aware of that already but just in case.

Where have you been going?
