I'm posting this one mainly because I'm thinking of doing a sequel.
I still like it, but because it was written both pre-
Revenge of the Sith
and pre-
Dalek
, it seems to have something missing...
Anyway, this is set before Revenge.
Bad Guys
"Let's play a game," the Doctor said suddenly.
Rose wasn't listening very hard. Among the things she'd thrown into her backpack, just before leaving her family behind, were a CD player and the latest
Heat
magazine. She was lying on the sofa, vaguely reading bits of it and listening to a CD- she knew she looked like a teenager relaxing at home, and not a traveller in a time machine who had already seen some strange and awful things. She wondered what he must think of that- maybe he was internally rolling his eyes at how humans just couldn't pay attention properly.
So she'd better pay attention. "What?"
"I said...well, I just had an idea," the Doctor said. Rose lowered the magazine, mostly because she had the feeling his eyes, staring cheerfully at her, might burn right through it. "I thought of somewhere I could take you to see. But I'm not going to tell you. You're going to have to guess."
The time inbetween adventures was always strange. She always got the feeling they should be talking- talking about something
serious
. About life and death and...
that
war, and all the other things. Not just hanging around and reading magazines and cracking jokes. That was what you did at home. This wasn't home.
Right?
"Okay," she said brightly. "You take me somewhere, then."
He grinned.
*****
Anakin wished that one day, in the near future, he would be able to enjoy Coruscant's filtered sun. He was sitting in the cafe right next to the floor-to-ceiling window, the sun glinting off the glass- and he was freezing. Everything seemed to have gotten so much
colder
lately. And it was a beautiful day, and it wasn't fair.
Where was she?
It wouldn't be unusual for her to be late. She had been late hundreds of times- well, not hundreds, they hadn't actually met (in this cafe or elsewhere) a hundred times, and he couldn't get his head around that- and what had he expected? This wasn't easy. Not for either of them. Someone could start to wonder where she was going all the time, wonder what a polished Senator could be up to sneaking out to battered old cafes. Or Obi-Wan could follow him here some day, for some reason- it was perfectly plausible, and he was
scared
. He didn't want his life to suddenly come crashing down around him.
How long, in all honesty, would they be able to keep this up?
He looked around the cafe. No-one was paying an awful lot of attention to him. Just as well. He dreaded the day when someone would notice him - whether it was because he was a hero of the Clone Wars, or because he was there and looked worried and preoccupied, and
speak
to him...
What if she never came? Would he stay in this crowded, cramped, gloriously sunny Coruscant cafe until the end of time?
His musings were suddenly interupted by a loud commotion somewhere to his left. His first instinct was to go and investigate, simply because he was a Jedi and that was what they did- but on the other hand when he was here he didn't feel like a Jedi, merely someone waiting.
He went to investigate. He left his table (leaving his cloak behind so no-one else would claim it), moved through the maze of customers, turned around the corner that led to the refreshers, and found himself face to face with a large blue box. It was surrounded, and was slowly becoming more surrounded, by curious people- even the waiters and waitresses had come to have a look.
Now what we he supposed to do? He wasn't supposed to be here. If the Council, if his Master heard that there had been a situation here and he'd diffused it, they'd want to know what he'd been doing here- it was hardly on the Council's radar, after all- and things could get out of control...
He wasn't good with control. So it was quite a stroke of luck that the doors of the box opened then.
*****
Rose could handle aliens. She had seen them treating the end of the world like a social event, seen them killing people, seen them take over Downing Street, seen them going about their everyday business...the list was fast becoming endless. Oh, and then there was the alien she was travelling with, of course. The one who had saved her life a couple of times, the one her mum claimed she was infatuated with. Him.
She closed the door again quickly.
"What is it?" the Doctor demanded. He was still grinning, though. "Have you guessed where we are?"
"There's a ton of...
people
out there," she said, whispering for some reason. "They looked freaked..."
"Just not used to new things, I reckon." he said, and he marched to the doors and flung them fully open. Some of the people outside fled, some of them stayed put, some of them gasped, some of them cheered- and Rose's eyes went instantly to a man at the front of the crowd. He had dark blonde hair that went to his shoulders, was dressed all in black, had a metal arm that glittered gold- and he looked familiar. Extremely familiar.
He also appeared to be reaching for a weapon.
"You can go back to your tables, you lot," came the Doctor's voice. "I'm not here to disrupt any meals- just thought I'd show this young lady around your fine...establishment."
He trailed off. Rose looked around. It looked like a run-down cafe on Earth- chipped paint, splatters of food on the table, more people than chairs- but the windows were huge, and there were
spaceships
outside. And they weren't crashing into things or destroying national landmarks- they were just there-
And
god
, they were high up.
And
god
, the city beneath the window stretched out for miles and miles and miles...
Rose just stared. A few of the other customers stared too, clearly wondering what was so amazing about the view that she was motionless and gawping. The Doctor clapped a hand on her shoulder.
"Let's get a table- no, they're all taken," He scanned the whole room. "Right then, let's just eat. You hungry? We'll eat quickly, then I'll show you the rest of this planet. Maybe a couple more, too. You guessed where we are yet?"
She couldn't keep up with him. "Um. Er. What's on the menu?"
"Excuse me," came a voice.
Rose turned around. It was the man she had seen not half a minute ago- the blonde in black, with the metal arm. The one who'd looked like he was in charge of things, who had a metal tube clipped to his belt...
He looked from her to the Doctor, and back again.
"Excuse me, you two, I think we have something to discuss."
"What?" The Doctor turned around and blinked at him. "Ah. Hello. Can we have the Rare Bantha Roast, please, and my friend here would like some blue milk. There's a good lad." He turned back to the menu.
The young man blinked for a second and then practically spluttered with rage. "If you don't do as I say, and come with me, I'm afraid <I>there will be consequences</I>," he said furiously, and Rose was about to speak up and suggest that they did exactly as he said lest they got their heads sliced off or something, when the Doctor spun around again.
"Blimey, it's you. You look different," he said. He tilted his head to one side. "I like the hair. It suits you. How are things?"
The man took a step back at that, and a look of fear and puzzlement came over his face. "You...who are...look, come and sit down, would you?" He took a few steps backwards into a metal chair, and gestured for them to sit opposite. The Doctor did, with evident glee. Rose did so rather more cautiously.
"I need to know exactly-" the man began, but then the Doctor cut in. "Hang on. Introductions. Rose, this is Anakin Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker, this is Rose Tyler. And I'm the Doctor."
Rose stared. So that was where she'd seen him! On a
poster
...on lots of posters...he was in a movie. She was in a movie. This made no sense. Her friend Shireen had a poster of Hayden Christensen on her ceiling, for heaven's sake. This was utterly impossible.
Then again, maybe he looked a
little
different from the posters. Still quite handsome, but...no, this was too much to think about. It wasn't as if she'd ever studied the posters, or indeed the movies, at any great length anyway.
Good grief, had she ever even seen a Star Wars movie? She had a vague recollection of seeing one at the cinema once, with Mickey, but she couldn't remember much about it.
The man who would have been Anakin Skywalker if such a thing wasn't completely impossible in her mind stared right back at her, and then spoke to the Doctor.
"Who are you?"
"I just said!"
"How do you know me? And..." He shook his head as if to clear it, and then went on in a firm voice. "Where did you get hold of...that technology?" He gestured vaguely in the direction where the TARDIS was parked. "I've never seen anything like
that
before, and I've seen a
lot
of things. Where did it come from? Where did you come from?"
The Doctor glanced at Rose. Rose didn't know why, before realising it was an indication that
she
had to answer this question. She mentally swore at him and said out loud. "We came from far away. The ship, it's sort of...leftover. From a war. It's the only one. We didn't come here to hurt anyone, honest." She was frantically trying to remember anything and everything she'd ever picked up about
Star Wars
. Something about robots, and a bad guy called Darth Vader, and someone else called Luke, and Darth Vader being his father, and Harrison Ford-who her mum had a crush on- and that was about it, really. She didn't know how this guy figured into it at all. She didn't go to the movies often.
"What sort of war?" Anakin Skywalker asked, eyes narrowed.
Rose nudged the Doctor with her foot, quite sharply.
"Just your average war," he said, rather quickly. "People dying, people never coming back, you know the sort of thing." Rose couldn't shake the feeling that actually he was talking to her, and she inched away from him before she realized she was doing it.
Anakin Skywalker stared out of the window. "I could take you both in for questioning, you know."
"True," the Doctor said. "Or we could stay here and have lunch."
*****
Anakin wasn't too used to things like this. Meeting strange people, sure- it was part of the job. Meeting strange people who seemed to know him somehow- that was disturbing. Having lunch with these people, while knowing that if anyone, anyone on the planet who wasn't him, Padme or one of the droids knew he was here there could be serious trouble -that was just plain bizarre. He'd been disarmed by these people, and he didn't like it.
Where were they from? He wasn't the best student in the Temple, but he could usually deduce where someone came from, and with these two he couldn't. Both of them had accents he couldn't place, and wore clothing he'd never seen before.
And, more importantly,
where was Padmé
? She was late, that was obvious, but had she ever been this late before? Maybe once or twice. But he could feel worry creeping up on him.
If anything happens to her, you
will
know. Just wait. Be patient. You don't have much patience, do you
?
The girl (while he couldn't guess her planet he could guess her age: she looked about nineteen) was picking at her food, while the man was eating like he hadn't had a meal in ages. He wished very much that they'd finish and go somewhere else in their strange blue box, so he wouldn't have to deal with them anymore.
The scary thing was, he'd tried to make them go, feeding Force suggestions into their minds...it hadn't worked. He'd almost expected that. It had
nearly
worked on the girl, but...not quite. And the man...there was some power there, definately. Power he'd never expected to find in
anyone
not a Jedi, especially not in some random person who'd appeared in a cafeteria in a mysterious way.
He shivered.
"Eat up, Rose," the man who called himself the Doctor said, pushing her plate towards her. "It's good."
"I don't know what it is," Rose said warily. "It could be a swamp creature for all I know. I was always a picky eater, alright?"
"It's not a swamp creature," Anakin felt compelled to say. "I know this meal, it's from Tatooine. Slaves probably risked injury or death catching the things that went into that, so it'd be nice to see it eaten,"
Rose went red, scraped a good portion of the meat onto her fork, and ate it. "Ummm..." she said with her mouth full, before swallowing. "Um, they have slaves here?"
"I was one," Anakin said flatly, hating himself for some inexplicable reason. Rose stared at him (it was the stare of the ignorant, people did that all the time) and the Doctor looked out of the window, humming something under his breath. Then he looked in the other direction, at the tables, and Anakin followed his gaze.
"Your wife just came in," he said, and pointed.
Padmé was here.
*****
Rose didn't like the food, but she figured that she'd better eat it anyway. She was reminded of something her mother used to say- possibly her father had said it once too- imagine all the starving children in the world who'd love to have just one small bite of that food you're wasting. She always thought she was the only person who ever
listened
to that. Even if it took her a long time to realise that actually it was true, and people died for no good reason all the time.
Anakin got up from the table and ran towards somebody- a woman who'd just entered the restaurant, who Rose could only just see. Then, right in the middle of the restaurant, he hugged her. Rose was mildly surprised: since leaving Earth, she didn't think she'd seen anyone behave with such passion towards someone else...
The Doctor laughed.
"Do you know who that is?" he asked her brightly, and nicked some of her food.
Anakin, now holding the girl's hand, looked at the table they were sitting at. Then he looked around the cafe, sighed and shrugged, and led the girl over to them. She was short and had brown eyes, but she was wearing a cloak which obsured most of her features.
"Are you two planning to leave anytime soon?" Anakin asked.
"We haven't finished yet," the Doctor said, which was true. Rose was going to suggest they
did
leave, because she didn't especially like it here, but then the girl said. "Hello- who are you?"
"I'm Rose Tyler," Rose said, warming to her immediately for some reason. "This is the Doctor. We'll go if you want us to."
"They came here in that," Anakin said crossly, pointing at the TARDIS. "I can't get them to go away."
"Oi," the Doctor said. "We have as much right to be here as you do, young Jedi."
Anakin looked at him, opened his mouth, and then shut it again. The girl clearly decided to take matters into her own hands.
"My name is Padmé Amidala, Senator of Naboo. I'm curious to know about where you're from."
Rose was reminded vaguely of Jabe, the treewoman who was now dead before her time. "Ummm...we were talking with your, um, husband. Boyfriend. Whatever. We just dropped in for...a look around."
"
Boyfriend
," Anakin repeated sullenly. "Padmé, let me talk to you for a second. <I>Alone</I>," he added, giving them a extremely irritated look.
*****
Padmé followed him across the room to the other window.
"Padmé," Anakin said in a low whisper. "They know who I am, these people. That man...he knew my name, he knows I'm a Jedi, he
knows I'm with you
, and I haven't told him anything. There's something funny going on."
Padmé glanced at them, and then glanced out of the window. "They might have seen you on the holovision..."
"But he...that man...he knew about you! He knows you're my wife! How could he know that, Padmé?
How
?"
Padmé kept calm. "You don't think they're...spies? Of some kind?"
"They don't look like spies," Anakin murmured. "A teenage girl, and a man who practically could be her father? And they...they just
appeared
, in that box...it's spooky, Padmé."
"You don't think they're...something else?" Padmé whispered worriedly.
"I don't know."
They looked at each other.
"Maybe we should go," Padmé said. "Leave here and not come back. Or we could talk to them- try and find out."
"We have so little time together," Anakin said. "They're ruining it." His voice turned into a whine as he said that last part.
Padmé paused in indecision. Her curiousity was beginning to get the better of her. Then someone yelled from the other side of the restaurant, making her jump.
"Oi! You two! If you want to sit down and eat, get over here before someone nicks your chairs!"
Padmé sighed. "Keep your wits about you, Anakin. And your lightsabre to hand."
"When do I ever let my guard down these days?" Anakin asked. He held her arm and they moved across the restaurant.
*****
Two minutes later. Rose had finally managed to eat the food she'd had put in front of her. It had made her feel slightly sick. The brown-haired girl...Padmé Amidala...was asking her questions nineteen to the dozen, and the Doctor wasn't helping her answer them very much.
"So I wouldn't know where your planet even is?" she said, and Rose figured her patience was starting to wear thin.
"...No," she said. "I'm sorry I can't tell you more, okay? But it's just...I want to keep my planet safe." She thought she saw the Doctor nod out of the corner of her eye. She wondered if this wasn't some sort of test.
"Why would we pose the slightest danger to you?" Padmé asked. "We..." But then she evidently gave up, for the moment at least. She turned to the Doctor. "And you? Are you from the same planet? The same place?"
"No," the Doctor said. "I'm not."
"Are you travelling together?"
"Yeah," Rose said. "We are."
"Are you related to each other?"
"Nope," the Doctor said.
"Why did you come here?"
"I'm showing her the universe," the Doctor said, gesturing at Rose. "You're part of the universe, mate. Maybe we could stop with the questioning now?"
"Please don't speak to me like that," Padmé said cooly. "You must come from somewhere highly technologically advanced, if you're able to just appear in random places. It would be helpful if you'd tell me."
"Will you just be content with a promise that we mean you no harm?" the Doctor said. "No harm whatsoever? Less than no harm? We just dropped in for something to eat. Didn't expect to run into him. Or you."
"How do you know us?" Anakin asked, in a voice that suggested he would willingly fling them from the window if it came to that. His fists were clenched at his side.
"I know more then you can
possibly
imagine, for the moment, young Skywalker," the Doctor said cheerfully. "I'm just something that puzzles people, even those as powerful as you. You should enjoy my company, it'll be a while before you're this confused again."
Anakin gave him a look that was both nasty and somewhat afraid. Rose decided then that she was going to take control of all this.
"I've never been here before. It's a beautiful place," she began warily. "I've never seen so many skyscrapers before."
Anakin and Padmé shared a glance. "Yes, it is a beautiful place," Padmé said. "Or...it should be. Since the war began..."
"What war?" Rose said, not meaning to interrupt, but forgetting all her manners because of that word. "I mean, sorry, what sort of war?"
"The Clone Wars," Anakin spoke up. "I fought in them. I still am fighting in them. I lost my arm in them. How could you not know, wherever you came from..." He trailed off. Rose noticed for the first time that there was something in his eyes- something decidedly haunted. Something that warned her away, said that she had never seen the things he'd seen and so had no business wondering about them, because the things he'd seen deserved no sort of wonder...
She had only seen that in one other person's eyes, and she had wished very much that she hadn't.
The Doctor shifted in his seat, cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry."
All three of them looked at him.
"I fought in a war as well," he said flatly. "I know what it's like."
Anakin looked away and nodded. Padmé did nothing, but she was one of those people who made a big show out of doing nothing, so Rose noticed. Rose herself had an awful feeling that they hadn't come here to talk about war- they'd come here simply to eat and look around- and now they were getting involved in something, as they almost always did.
"What did this war result in, then?" Padmé asked quietly.
"Not telling," the Doctor said quickly. And then suddenly, "Oi! You lot! Get away from my TARDIS!" He got up from his seat, ran towards it, and the small group of orange people gathered around it suddenly fled. He returned casually to his seat.
"Magnet for trouble, that thing is..."
Anakin and Padmé shared a look, then Padmé sort of sighed to herself and said, "...Rose? Why don't you tell us about yourself? Have you got any brothers or sisters?"
"No," Rose said, glad to be having what appeared to be a normal conversation. "There's just me and me mum. On our own, y'know."
"And you say...you're being shown the universe?"
"The Doctor invited me along," Rose said, not wanting to go into further detail.
Anakin spoke up. "And you two...what exactly are you to each other?"
Rose didn't know how to answer that.
"Friends. Companions," the Doctor said, "Take your pick."
Anakin nodded slowly, and after that there was a long silence.
"Well," the Doctor said, breaking it. "perhaps we'd better go. It was nice talking to you."
Rose wanted to stay now, though. This was just getting really interesting. Aside from anything else, it had finally occured to her that she was sitting at a table with Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, and many people would have
killed
for that opportunity. She wanted to ask what had happened to them in their various past adventures, so that then, when she got back home, she could watch them. Why not?
"No," she said. "I...was wondering if you..." She grasped the first Star Wars-related thing that came into her mind. "Do you know anyone called Luke?"
"No," both of them said. Padmé had a slightly startled expression on her face, though.
It was then that Rose suddenly remembered something...a random, really rather useless bit of information somewhere at the back of her mind. The Doctor somehow noticed this, and so he adruptly took over.
"It was nice meeting you," he said, sounding sincere. "We'll be going now. Bye." He took Rose's hand and led her away, but before they reached the TARDIS, Anakin was beside them again.
"I have to ask," he said. "I have to...look, if you go somewhere else in that box, and if you meet other people, and if they know me- most people know me as such a great hero now- don't tell them I was here. With her. She has enemies, I have enemies...one thing could lead to another, and...I love her. I don't want anything to happen to her."
"Maybe you should meet in somewhere that's not crowded with people, then," the Doctor said. Rose noticed that at the
I love her
, his attitude changed a little.
"No-one knows me here, and they certainly don't know what our
real
relationship is," Anakin said. "And you do. And I can't force you to do anything, so I'm going to ask you not to tell."
The Doctor shrugged. "I won't. I swear it. I was never here. Come on, Rose,"
"Bye," Rose said, because she thought she ought to say something. They went inside and the doors closed on them, and the Doctor crossed the room to look at the viewscreen. Rose went to look also...Anakin, glancing behind him once or twice, went back to the table. He spoke to Padmé, holding her hand as he did so. They didn't kiss, but Rose supposed there was a good reason for that, if no-one was meant to know what they were to each other.
"Awww..." she said. "It's sweet really, isn't it? How did they manage to get married, if no-one's meant to know?"
"Married on her home planet, with hardly anyone present. They've done a good job of keeping it secret." Rose felt the floor shake beneath her feet as they moved away, and Anakin on the viewscreen glanced back at them worriedly before the screen went blank. "They've been meeting like this for a while, and he fights a war in the meantime."
"Why in secret, though?"
"He's a Jedi. They're not allowed to fall in love."
"Not allowed to fall in love?" Rose was oddly disturbed by that. "Why?"
"Old traditions that don't work. Old people that don't realise it. Unimaginable power which both those who love and those who hate can tap into. It all leads to tragedy in the end," He seemed to be leaving this delibarately open-ended.
"So what happens to them?" Rose asked, geniunely curious. Forbidden love had always interested her. "What happens to those two?"
"Oh, he kills her," the Doctor said.
Rose
wished
he wouldn't do that. She really wished he wouldn't. It made her want to scream at him until she was hoarse.
"He kills her," she repeated flatly. "He
kills
her."
"Admittedly, you could argue he wasn't really himself at the time..." the Doctor said, and Rose remembered.
"You knew you were taking me to see...a movie, right?"
He nodded. "In a sense, I suppose so."
"In those movies there's a bloke called Luke...I just remembered his surname is Skywalker...is he their son?"
The Doctor nodded.
"So that bloke...Anakin...is he Darth Vader?"
The Doctor nodded again.
"So...he'll grow up to be the bad guy? Kill people? Build the Death Star or whatever it was called?"
The Doctor nodded again and said, "DVDs are getting cheaper all the time, so I've heard."
Rose ignored this. "That wasn't
nice
," she said.
"What?"
"You take me to some place I've never been, introduce me to this man, he seems alright, he's married and they're in love- then you tell me he grows up to be a murderer and kill her."
The Doctor muttered something under his breath.
"What?"
"He's already a murderer. Murdered a whole village of people."
Rose wished she hadn't started this. Wished she hadn't agreed to play a silly game like this in the first place. "
Why
?"
"They killed his mother. It was revenge."
Rose could do nothing but sigh.
"And that leads him to...be a bad guy? And he gets people killed, and stuff?"
"Yep."
Rose didn't say what was on her mind, because she didn't know how he'd react. She was going to try and change the subject, when suddenly an uncomfortable thought came into her mind.
Didn't
you
kill someone in revenge once? On Platform One, all that time ago? I tried to stop you, but I didn't, and I figured she deserved it, but...I don't understand.
Thanks a bunch. I'm all depressed now. And worried.
They didn't talk much for a while. Rose didn't manage to voice her most persistant thought until almost an hour had gone by and they'd landed on some random planet in order to give the TARDIS a break.
"So you knew he was going to grow up and kill her? Kill lots of people?"
"Yes, Rose, I did."
"What did he do...exactly? How bad was he?"
"Killed her, as you know. She was pregnant at the time, but the kids survived. Killed his best friend. Gave the orders for hundreds of people, including children, to die. Tortured his daughter. Chopped his son's hand off. That sort of thing."
Rose choked back the words she was about to say. It hadn't seemed right. Those two people, they'd been in
love
. It just didn't seem fair.
Unless he was lying, but she knew he wasn't.
That boy who'd she'd been talking to, who was in love with a girl...he was on a par with the worst villains of her world.
Killed children
. She shivered.
"I know what you're thinking," the Doctor said. "Why don't you say it?"
"If you knew...if you knew he'd kill so many people...you could have stopped him. Maybe not kill him. But
something
."
"Maybe not kill him?" The Doctor shook his head. "You wouldn't be the first person to think something like this, you know. But would you have the right, Rose?"
Rose could only shake her head. "What happens to him? Do you know? Who does kill him, then?"
"No-one kills him," the Doctor says. "His son comes. Refuses to kill him. Saves his life. Available at fantastic prices from your local DVD store. And so on."
"The same son who's hand he cut off?"
"The one and only."
Rose thought of Anakin and Padmé hugging in the cafeteria. How much time had they thought they had? Did all murderers know somewhere in the backs of their mind that they were going to be murderers?
She was pregnant at the time.
Killed his best friend.
Tortured his daughter.
Maybe this was a daft thing to be worrying about, if it all eventually turned out alright?
Help her...
Everything has it's time and everything dies.
"I don't believe it," she murmured to herself, hoping they'd be an answer to all her questions in there somewhere.
"That is why you fail," the Doctor answered. But then he grinned at her, and they were off again.

This is very interesting! Are you going to tell us who the Doctor is? Or am I just missing something?

Well, I know nothing about Doctor Who, just that it's a show on PBS. But I still liked the fic. Rose was very interesting and I liked seeing her perception on things. It's nice to have the story written from a POV that doesn't really know what's going on. Nice job. And you mentioned a sequel?

The ninth Doctor, the last Timelord, in Star Wars. Great! I want to see more of it.

Never underestimate a Wookiee, especially if he is much more intelligent than a Rodian merc.

Not coincidentally, I'm a Dr Who fan of old. Not coincidentally, I'd planned my own crossover eventually. Still do. As an actual coincidence, I'd seen exactly the right number of Ninth Doctor episodes--the first five--to fit this one in continuity wise.
And I'd say you've got the characters right. Anakin is having a bad day. But then you could argue he's been having a bad day since his momma died, I suppose. The Ninth Doctor has just the right amount of cheerful daftness.
My own crossover is way down the line, and much more serious/action oriented, and featuring the previous Doctor.
All of that said, as a hardcore fan of both franchises, I like.

: Thanks! And maybe soon you will.
Arcalian
: Ah, another fan, eh? (Actually, I confess to having just seen the new series so far- and one Fourth Doctor episode- but I'm gonna see the others eventually)
Glad you like it!

Oh yeah. Fantastic.
I've been watching the new DW religiously, and I must say you nailed Chris Eccleston's Doctor perfectly. Absolutely perfectly.
Old traditions that don't work. Old people that don't realise it. Unimaginable power which both those who love and those who hate can tap into. It all leads to tragedy in the end,"
That line really clinched it for me. It's wonderful - so very true and expressed exactly as Who would have said it. Rose was great, Anakin's mix of petulant kid and responsible Jedi was great, all the detail (loved the ref to Rose's friend having a Hayden poster, BTW).
Great work. Bravo!

Oooh, I was so excited, another
Doctor Who
crossover! But I don't know if I can read it, because it's 9th Doctor, and I'm a poor, deprived Merkin!
You should definitely watch more of the original series, StN -- though I'd say that to just about anyone
-- maybe sampling a variety of Doctors.
