Okay, I know that this last part is over due. That was mostly because of the recent series I've just started on, Stuck in Another Universe, check it out if you dare, and because I was writer blocked.

I originally wanted to try doing a full episode, but that didn't work out as I thought it would, and caused me to step away from this for a while.

So, I've decided to go for the 'short but sweet' approach that my sixth grade teacher said many times about my writing.

So, it had been confirmed that Eleven is going to call Clara in the first episode of series 8, just near the end of his life. BUT, what if it was Danni who got the call instead.

So, this would be AU of Chapter 29 of The Time Child: Aftermath. And, well, for the Doctor, if the title didn't tip you off...

Okay, so technically the title characters don't interact, except for a monologue near the end, and even then...

Throughout the months Danni had been living with the Ponds in their flat, she had taken to watching some of the films that she had missed out on her travels, like Frozen, for one.

She had loved it, and had taken quite well with the song 'Let it Go', and had also taken to singing it in the shower, especially on her bad days.

And she had taken to make bunny shaped cookies, which, ever since she saw that American pastry show that she forgot the name of, she has been trying to make as they are very complicated to do, and makes for a great time waster. She finished making the dough for it.

The land line started to ring. She puts down the spoon. Seeing as there was nobody else in the house, Danni walked towards it.

She hesitated, seeing as the one time she picked up the phone, it was for a confirmation of Amy's appointment with that eye doctor.

She picked it up. "Williams residence. This is Dan -"

"Danni?" Her eyes widen as she heard the hopeful tone in the Doctor's voice. "Danni - Girl, is it you?"

"Doctor," She can't help the smile that appeared on her face. She shook her head in disbelief. But as much as she wants to re-primed him, but who know's it could be that he's calling from long ago. "When was the last time did you see me?"

"Uhh, well, you first."

"Oh," That was odd. "It's been a while since I've seen you, seeing as there was these cubes with the Ponds..."

"Ooo. The fi- how long have you been there?"

Danni raised her eyebrow at that. "Three months, I was waiting for to come back, and now you decided to call. Where are you, anyway?"

"Uhh, resolving a situation with some Daleks." He said, as if he was almost out of breath. "How've you been, Danni - Girl?"

"Oh, I'm doing okay. Getting ready to bake some bunny cookies," She put one of her hands on her hips. "And I expect you to appeared when this finished cooking."

She could feel the Doctor smiling on the other end. "Bunny cookies... I'll be back, but not for a while."

Danni's smile faded slightly. "Is it that bad?"

"No, well, a little bit here and there, but I'm been through this before. It will all be over soon, but I had to say this to you... I love you. I love you so much."

"It took you over three months to call me and just for that?" Danni teased him.

"It's felt so much longer. Danni, I'm sorry, but you have to wait a bit longer for me to come back."

"How long?"

"Depends, but I will be there, just you wait. We'll both be happy together."

Danni smiled, but she felt there was something more he wasn't saying. "Well, you better, Spaceman, I bought a special gift for you."

"Can you tell me what it is?"

"No, you'll have to pop in here to see."

"And I will, you'll be seeing me, my Danni."

"I love you too, Doctor. And I'll see you soon." Danni hanged up the phone, shaking her head slightly. 'The one time he calls...' She frowned suddenly. 'You'll be seeing me.'

She went back to her cooking with a heavy thought setting in her mind.

Clara walked up to the TARDIS and saw that the TARDIS external emergency telephone is hanging off it's hook. She puts it back where it belongs and heads inside, taking one last look at Trenzalore.

Clara looked around as the clothes that the Doctor was wearing before are scattered on the floor, a bowl of yellow stuff with fish fingers. Clara headed down the metal steps, but just at that moment, there are footsteps indicating someone is heading up.

She turned around, just as the Doctor, her Doctor that she came to know, stands wearing his old clothes. She breathes in relief and smiled at him. "Doctor!" She walked towards him.

"Hello." Said the Doctor, who looked as if he's in pain but trying his best to stand still.

"You're young again." She said, her smile sightly wavering. "You're didn't even changed your face."

"Ha!" He clapped his hands, but it felt more subdued than normal. "It started. I can't stop it now. " He started to walk around. "A whole new regeneration cycle." He stopped to grabbed the bowl with the fish fingers and custard. "Ooo."

Clara laughed as she looked away at the sight.

"Taking a bit longer." He sets the plate down. "Just breaking it in. He walked around the panel but a bit slower than he'd liked. "Oh. Oh. Gah." He grabbed ahold of a lever as a pain shot up through him, causing him to pull it down, and setting the TARDIS to materialized and head into the Time Vortex.

"It all just disappears, doesn't it? Everything you are, gone in a moment," He used one of his hands to empathize his point. "Any moment now, he's a-coming."

"Who's coming?" Asked Clara.

"The Doctor." He said in a high-pitched whisper.

"You are the Doctor," Clara started to worry for him. Maybe it's a side effect of effectedly getting a renewed lease on life.

"Yes, and I always will be " He said, the pain evident from his tone of voice. He looked at his hand as it started to glow. "But times have changed, and so must I."

Clara gave a small smile.

The Doctor didn't see it, as young Amelia Pond, in the clothes he remembered her having when he tucked her in from the rewind after recreating the universe with Danni and his wife, his Danni, in the clothes that she first arrived in their universe, are running up the stairs towards the corridor with the pictures of a thousand children that were raised from the Doctor's stories, the ones that made his heart grow at the happy memories being drawed. Amelia's giggling as Danni is chasing after her.

"Amelia? Danni?"

Clara looked around to see where his wife and the other girl. "Your wife is here? Where is she? And who's Amelia?"

"First faces this face saw. The one that Danni could loved." He moved around as he tried to get a glimpse of their smiling faces. He smiled sadly. 'She would have been a great mother.' He thought, the guilt resurfacing.

The Doctor looked at his hands as he turned around, to look at Clara. "We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people all through our lives. And that's okay, that's good, you've got to keep moving, so long as you remembered all the people that you used to be." He looked up at Clara. "I will not forget one line of this." He held up one finger, to make his point. "Not one day, I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me."

Two sets of footsteps caused the Doctor to painfully turn at the slight of them. Danni, who's wearing the same clothes as he saw last with his previous incarnation and the one that he thought didn't deserved the name of the Doctor.

And Amelia Pond, no, Williams, in the clothes when she left him as well.

Danni stepped forwards towards him first. She smiled bright, which caused the Doctor to smile back. She layed a hand on his cheek. "I love you, Spaceman. And I forgive you." This almost caused the tears to fall from his eyes.

"I don't -" He shook his head slightly.

"You think you don't, but I'm giving it to you." She smiled as she was an Angel guiding him, which in a way she was. "It wasn't your fault."

Amelia stepped forward to cup his other cheek. The Doctor cupped each of their cheeks. "Raggity man, goodnight." All three of them shared one last smile.

Clara looked very concerned as the Doctor was holding out his hands into nothing. She took a few steps forward.

The Doctor took off the bow - tie, that Danni bought for him so long ago. The one that he had secured in a small box. He took one look at it and let it fall to the floor.

The Doctor smiled at Clara, closing his eyes to prepare for this moment.

This spurned Clara into action, moving towards him. "No, no!" She was standing only 3 feet away.

"Hey," He breathed softly.

Clara hold out her hand, close enough to near his, but not enough to actually grab it. "Please don't changed." She pleaded.

He grinned at her, his head starting to glow bright yellow until he pulled his head back, completing the regeneration into a new man, a new Doctor, new life ahead of him.
