A/N - Votes and comments mean a lot (especially ones which react to certain paragraphs or thing that happen).

I also have a Pinterest bored for Poppy. It should hopefully come up when you look up 'Poppy Watcher' and look at boreds.

"Hey, Edwin. Ever fancied someone you know you shouldn't? Where you know they like someone else, maybe even love someone else, but you still fancy them?" Poppy asks, glancing up to The Doctor.

"What?"

"It hurts, doesn't it? But kind of a good hurt,"

"I really shouldn't talk about her,"

"Oh. There's a her," Poppy teases

The yellow turns back to blue on the last section.

"What was her name?" The Doctor looks at Poppy in wonder. Was she talking about him? But they were together, right? Then it hits him. The old him, with Rose.

"Dorabella," Poppy tries not to laugh. It was a strange name. But, probably a beautiful one in this time.

"Dorabella?" The Doctor starts laughing, but Amy raises an eyebrow and he quickly covers it up "It's a lovely name. It's a beautiful name,"

"What was she like, Edwin?" Amy asks gently

"Oh, such a smile. And her eyes. Her eyes were so blue. Almost violet, like the last touch of sunset on the edge of the world. Dorabella,"

All the segments return to blue.

"Welcome to the human race," The Doctor greets

He then points at Churchill "You're brilliant," Then Bracewell "You're brilliant," Then Amy and Poppy "And you I..." he flaps his hands about trying to find a word, he gives up and kisses Poppy forcefully on the lips, and then Amy on the forehead.

"Now. Got to stop them. Stop the Daleks," He starts to run out the room

"Wait, Doctor. Wait, wait. It's too late," The Doctor stops and turns around at Bracewell's words "Gone. They've gone,"

"No. No! They can't. They can't have got away from me again,"

"No, I can feel it. My mind is clear. The Daleks have gone," Bracewell adjusts his glasses and The Doctor falls against a poll, all energy gone. Poppy grabs his hand and rubs soothing circles on it.

"Doctor, it's okay. You did it. You stopped the bomb. Doctor?" Amy tries to lift his mood

"I had a choice. And they knew I'd choose the Earth. The Daleks have won. They beat me. They've won,"

"But you saved the Earth.... Not too shabby, is it?"

"Is it?!" Poppy smiles and swings their entwined hands

"No, it's not too shabby," he finally agrees once looking at Churchill's team, who he'd saved.

"It's a brilliant achievement, my dear friend. Here, have a cigar,"

"No," The Doctor declines the PM's offer

----------&----------

"So, what now, then?" Amy asks Churchill, both her and Poppy leaning on the desk.

"I still have a war to run, Miss Pond,"

"Prime Minister," a ginger woman hands him some documents.

"Oh, thank you," he reads the papers "Oh, they hit the Palace and Saint Paul's again. Fire crews only just saved it,"

The woman they first saw bursts into tears and the woman who just handed Churchill the papers goes to comfort her

"Is she okay?" Poppy asks

"What?"

"She looks very upset," Poppy gestures to the woman in question

"Oh, Miss Breen? Her young man didn't make it, I'm afraid. Just got word. Shot down over the Channel," Churchill doesn't sound too bothered by it. One of his employees loved ones had die, and he just bushed past it

"Where's the Doctor?" Amy inquires as Poppy is transported to her lesson after Pompeii

"When we learn about it. We feel a slight bit of sadness. But we don't actually think about it," she sits down on the edge of her desk.

"Tying up loose ends. I've taken out all the alien tech Bracewell put in," The Doctor enters casually and Poppy is brought back to the present

"Won't you reconsider, Doctor? Those Spitfires would win me the war in twenty hours,"

"Exactly," The Doctor takes a sip of his tea, which Poppy had drunk most of.

"But why not? Why can't we put an end to all this misery?"

"Oh, it doesn't work like that, Winston, and it's going to be tough. There are terrible days to come. The darkest days,"

"But you can do it. You know you can," Poppy tries to lighten the mood

"Stay with us, and help us win through. The world needs you," the PM looks to The Doctor

"The world doesn't need me,"

"No?"

"The world's got Winston Spencer Churchill," The two laugh and Amy and Poppy glance at each other.

"It's been a pleasure, Doctor, as always,"

"Too right,"

"Goodbye, Doctor,"

"Oh, shall we say adieu?" The two hugs

"Indeed. Goodbye, Miss Pond, Miss Watcher,"

"It's... it's been amazing, meeting you,"

"Truly brilliant," Poppy adds.

"I'm sure it has," The two companions kiss each of his cheeks before he walks away

"Oi, Churchill," he turns around at Poppy's voice "TARDIS key," she puts her hand out and becomes him forward. The Doctor spits his tea out in shock "The one you just took from the Doctor,"

"Oh, she's good, Doctor. As sharp as a pin. Almost as sharp as me," The Doctor smiles lovingly at Poppy as she takes the key from Churchill and hands it too Amy

"KBO," He tells them before leaving.

The Doctor outs his hand out and Amy rolls her eyes before returning it.

"I've been expecting you, Doctor. I knew this moment had to come," Bracewell announces when they enter his lab.

"Moment?"

"It's time to de-activate me,"

"Is it?" he thinks it though "Oh. Err, yeah,"

"You have no choice. I'm Dalek technology. Can't allow me to go pottering around down here where I have no business,"

"No, you're dead right, Professor. A hundred percent right. And by the time I get back here in what, ten minutes?" he looks to his companions

"More like fifteen," Amy nods

"Fifteen minutes, yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do. You are going to be so de-activated. It's going be like you've never even been activated,"

"Yeah," Poppy 'agrees'.

"Fifteen minutes?"

"More like twenty, if I'm honest. Once Poppy, Pond and I see to the urgent thing we've got to see to. The, the..." he trails off and tries to get Bracewell to understand "See?"

"Very well, Doctor. I shall wait here and prepare myself,"

"That Dalek tech a bit slow on the uptake..." Amy mutters to Poppy "That thing we've got to do..."

"Going to take half an hour, realistically, isn't it, Doctor?" Poppy turns to him

"Easily. So, no running off, that's what I'm saying. Don't go trying to find that little Post Office with the ash trees or that girl. What was her name?"

"Dorabella,"

"Dorabella. On no account go looking for her. Mind you, you can get a lot done in half an hour,"

The penny finally drops and Bracewell laughs "Thank you. Thank you, Doctor,"

"Come along, Pond," The Doctor says and the two girls follow him out

"So, you have enemies then?" Amy leans on the door next to The Doctor and Poppy

"Everyone's got enemies,"

"Yeah, but mine's the woman outside Budgens with the mental Jack Russell,"

"Oh god, she's horrible. Mine's the little year seven prick who used to nick my pens, and when he finally gave them back, they were chewed to bits,"

"You've got, like, you know, arch-enemies," Amy distracts from Poppy's rant.

"Suppose so,"

"And here's me thinking we'd just be running through time, being daft and fixing stuff. But no, it's dangerous,"

"Yep. Very. Is that a problem?"

"I'm still here, aren't I?" Amy saunters into the TARDIS and The Doctor and Poppy are left leaning on it. The two stare at each other for a bit.

"You're worried about the Daleks," Poppy realises.

"I'm always worried about the Daleks,"

"It'll take time though, won't it? I mean, there's still not many of them. They'll need a while to build themselves up,"

"It's not that. There's something else. Something we've forgotten. Or rather Amy has,"

"Yeah," Poppy agrees

"She didn't know them. She'd never seen them before. And she should have done. She should,"

"We'll worry about it later," Poppy kisses him gently before Amy pushes the doors open

"Are we leaving, or are you two going to snog out here forever?"

Poppy laughs before dragging the Doctor into the TARDIS.
