[ The dream tonight is a rather empty one, compared to the brilliant things that people could find themselves in. A simple beach surrounded by mountains, clear blue skies and a deep blue lake, and a small picnic area set to the side. The moon can be seen, despite it being day, rippling in the water. By the waterfront is an old station wagon, and of course the Doctor. He stands with his hands in his pockets, staring out over the restless waters, with his back to the dreamer.

He seems older than normal. He doesn't look a day older, but his shoulders are sagged and his head held as if he were carrying burdens upon burdens of the universe - similar to Atlas. With a deep sigh, he tilts his head back and looks up at the sky. ]

(ooc: This is Future!Eleven for the time event! As explained in the ooc post, it means this is the Eleven we see from the beginning of Impossible Astronaut as opposed to the Eleven from The Doctor's Wife. Your character doesn't need to be affected by the event to tag him, but Eleven will be acting as if he has known your character for nearly two hundred years~ )

... where are we, Doctor?

[ The Doctor pushes the doors open to reveal a snowy mountain range (http://www.the-medusa-cascade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=41&pid=163199#top_display_media) that seemed to go on forever. The sky was burnt orange, clouds of yellow hovering above in it's higher layers. Off in the distance was a city in a clear dome (http://www.the-medusa-cascade.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=41&pid=163204#top_display_media), looking out over the barren mountains.

Yet, the Doctor did not say a word. ]

[ Serenity's eyes widen as she beholds the world past the door of the TARDIS. Hesitantly, she steps to the edge of the door until she's past the threshold. She can hear the snow crunching beneath her shoes and the wind whips the tails of her hair when it passes by.

She's staring in wonder at the burnt sky, the city.. but when she realizes that the Doctor isn't speaking, she turns her head to face him. ]

This is Gallifrey.

[ She stands there, staring in shock before turning back and staring up at the two suns and how the city dome took in and yet reflected the light.

And Serenity is unable to keep the emotions from bubbling up and her eyes become glassy with unshed tears. ]

... It's wonderful.

To look at, maybe. Not the best place to grow up or live.

[ Again Serenity turns to look at him, but instead of saying anything she just reaches for him and lets her hand rub against his arm comfortingly. ]

[ He looks at her. ]

[ And then like that, she's at his side with a soft and comforting smile. ] I will not allow you to mope, Doctor.

I am not moping!

Just a warning. You know I will do everything in my power if you do.

I am very skilled in the art of moping. And pouting!

And other things as well. [ She smiles teasingly. ]

Like what?

Tangents of all sorts.

That is like me, isn't it? Yes. It is. You like the tangents.

[ She laughs gently, The hand that was rubbing his arm moves so she's hugging his arm instead. ] Yes. I like the tangents even if they frustrate me at times.
