Do I REALLY have to say it again? Me no owns Ben 10 or Doctor Who. Got it? XD

The Forever Moments

Epilouge

I never really feel quite right
I don't know why, all I know is there's something wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive

Tell me how do you do it, walk me through it
I'm following every footstep

Baby on your own you take a cautious step
Do you wanna give it up?

But all I want is for you to shine
Shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burning out.

~Mr. Big, Shine

Later on, the Doctor dropped Max off at a place called Santa Mira. It was Maxs choice, the Doctor didnt question it. And it was still raining out. Not good for the sad mood that was still in the TARDIS.

"You sure you dont want to come with us? I never did give you a trip in the TARDIS, did I?" asked the Doctor. Max smiled and shock his head.

"Maybe another time, Doctor. There's something I need to do, first. If I'm lucky, maybe we'll bump into eachother again later." the Doctor sinceraly hopped for that.

"Well then, Mr. Tennyson. Catch you later." said the Doctor with a wink. Cyphrin hugged Max warmly.

With a tip of his hat, Max exited the TARDIS, and stood outside and waited for it to dematerialize. It was just as amazing as it was when he was 10. Turing around, Max found himself infront of another diner, empty save for one waitress from what Max could see.

"Back to work." though the old Plumber as he walked towards the building.

Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor did some reading up on Maxs history as Cyphrin went to fetch the tea. So, Max had a family. Two grown boys, two grandsons and a granddaughter. There was rumors of another family by Max, but the Doctor couldnt trace it. He shrugged it off.

But then something caught his eye. A death date. That wasnt more than a few days away from the date he had sat Max down in. That couldnt be right. The Doctor was in disbelief. Not becase of the facts, but because he didnt want to beleive it to be true. Not just when he had remet an old friend.

"Doctor?" came Cyphrins voice from his side. She held out a cup and saucer of tes for him. "Are you going to be alright?" he quickly switched off the scanncer screen.

"Oh, me? Sound as a pound. No need to worry, my dear." he wore his usual jovial smile. Then he went on to tell Cyphrin about an adventure he and some old companions had involving Daleks, Movellens and a war.

He told her to keep his mind off the battle TARDIS, off Max. Off everything he didnt want to think of.
