Dearest Ood,

Thank you for your kind words and for offering to help me arrange things for Fred's service. I have spoken to the Doctor and I we have decided on a small ceremony here in the TARDIS. Could you let everyone know and take care of any catering arrangements? Thank you ever so much for your help.

Regards,
Reinette.





David,

Thank you for your condolences, I really appreciated hearing from you.

There will be a modest service for Fred in the TARDIS and I would like to ask you a favour. She was ever so fond of you, and I was hoping you would be so kind as to say a few words at the service. I don't think I could bear it myself and her father is not in any fit state to do so either. If you don't want to, I'll understand. Please let me know as soon as you can if you would be willing.

Love,

Reinette.

P.S. Thank you for your note. I appreciate the thought. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Don't worry, I have filed what was said the other night under the header of "insane drunken ramblings". Are we OK now? I hope so.

I miss you. I could really do with a friend right about now.

How... how are you?

[mme_depompadour]

*cries on your shoulder*


I'm...

Oh God, I feel awful.

My baby...

*sobs*

I shot the Doctor. With a needle gun.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*hugs, feeling distinctly guilty*

*holds*

Oh, Reinette.

_{You did? Why?}

[mme_depompadour]

*sobs harder*

*clings to you*

I miss my baby.


I had to change him back. He broke. I thought I could keep him the way he was, it was so nice. But Fred's death just...

It just broke him. I didn't know what else to do.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. I can't believe it myself.

*holds*

You're going to be okay, Reinette.

<sub>...you did the right thing.

Very brave of you to do so.</sub>

[mme_depompadour]

*holds you*

*cries*

Can you stay with me for a bit? It's just I...

*rests head on your shoulder*

I don't really have anyone to talk to. The Doctor... he's...

*sobs*

Oh God, what have I done?

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*hand on your head, tentatively*

Of course, I'm - always here.

*hugs tightly*

You did the right thing. He'll thank you for it, and it took a lot of guts.

*holds*

[mme_depompadour]

I...

I really wanted him to stay the way he was. It was so nice.

*sobs*

*lifts head and looks at you intently*

*teary*
Why does everything always have to go wrong? What have I done?

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*looks away, to the side*

You haven't done anything. You don't deserve any of this, and it will get better. I promise.

*strokes your hair, looking straight ahead*

The Doctor wasn't meant to be that way, Reinette. You know that.

*digs in pockets as best I can*

Damn. *slight smile* Out of tissues.

[mme_depompadour]

*tries to catch your eye and fails*

*sighs*


I miss my baby. I miss my husband. I felt so...

*puts head back on your shoulder, nuzzling your neck*

I felt so close to him. It was so lovely.
*sniffles*

I felt...

...loved.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*looks very pained*

You are loved, Reinette. You know that. Lots of people love you very much.

*shifts*

Everything's going to get better soon. I'm sure he loves you anyway.

*holds* *closes eyes tightly*

[mme_depompadour]

*hugs you tightly*

*nuzzles*


He can't even say the word now.

*sobs*
How am I supposed to live with that?

What am I going to do?

It hurts.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*strokes your hair absentmindedly*

I don't know what to say.

*hugs, trying hard not to notice where your fingers are*

I know. I know.
Ssssh. Calm down. It's going to be alright.

*soothes*

[mme_depompadour]

*squeezes*

*sobs*

Thank you for coming, David. I don't know what I'd do without you.

*takes a deep breath, exhaling into your ear*

*lifts head to look at you*

Thank you.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*looks at you for the first time*

*pause*

It's fine.
I -
I have to go. I have... things to do.
Sorry.

*tears eyes away*

...Reinette?

[mme_depompadour]

*hurt*

Right. Umm, OK.

*teary*
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep you. I'm sure you have things to be getting on with.



*sobs*

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*pauses*

God, Reinette, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have -

I'm sorry. You're more important.

*hugs*

[mme_depompadour]

*looks at you, teary*

No, it's fine, honest. I'm...

I'm fine. I'm not that important.

I'll be alright.

*teary smile*
I'm always alright.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*gently touches your cheek, wincing inside*

*looks straight at you*

I've heard that one before, Reinette. I know that line well.

You are important. You are so, so important. If you only knew how important you were -

You're not fine. Nobody's expecting you to be fine. But you will be.

I'm always here, alright?

*smiles* *wipes away your tears with the back of my hand*

...I'm sure I had a tissue here somewhere.

[mme_depompadour]

*leans into your hand*

*closes eyes*

It hurts.

*cries*


It hurts so much.

[lonely-ood.livejournal.com]

*nods* I [i]don't[/i] think I'll let Doctor Joyce handle the catering.

Who will be conducting the ceremony?

[mme_depompadour]

I...


I don't know yet. I've asked David to say a few words and apart from that...


I really don't know.
