TM Prompt 181 - Describe your perfect day.

[thecricketer]

One day, the Doctor arrived on a planet.

It wasn't a very nice planet. Torn by war, smothered by repression, forgotten and left to rot. No one was happy, and no one was safe, and no one made a difference. Children were pawns and lives were short and harmony was a distant concept sung of in fairytales.

Of course, it didn't take very long at all to fix this. It was immediately clear who the bad people were, and who the good people were. The Doctor defeated the bad people by being very clever and very brave, and this solved everyone's problems. His companions saved lives without endangering their own, and never once regretted their involvement.

When they left, they left a world that anyone would be happy to call their own, and they knew without a doubt that it would stay that way.

On this day there was justice without vengeance, victory without sacrifice, peace without bloodshed.

On this day, everybody lived.

Brilliant! i adore this. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Whistful, I think, is a better word. It reminds me a bit of the end of The Doctor Dances. "Just thins once, everyone lives!"

*beams* Thank you! It definitely took inspiration from that episode - that line resonated so much because everyone usually...didn't.

Five's last season especially was...it took its toll on him, I think.

I can not watch that scene in DD with dry eyes.

I can't wait to get to the last season, if it's nice and angsty.
