Challenge 352 (DW)

 (I really couldn't resist when I read the challenge.   There is a scene in one of the BBC Books ( one of the Eleven ones) of his funeral, but I wanted to try this. 


The Doctor hurried down the pavement towards the churchyard.   "I hope we haven't missed it" he remarked,  one hand in his pocket.

Nyssa ran a finger through her curls.  " Doctor, I still don't understand.  ON my world, our burials  are a bit  more private. Why are there all these people here?"   

"To pay their respects, Nyssa.  Alistair was important to a lot of people.  Myself, especially." 

Among those assembled;  the Doctor could easily spot Jo Grant (or perhaps, more appropriately, Jo Jones) surrounded by her husband and a handful of children.  Sarah Jane Smith not far away.  And many the Doctor didn't recognize:  a dark-skinned man and woman,  a teenage girl in a leather jacket,   and the most curious of all,  a blonde young woman wearing multicolor clothes who stood at a distance. 

Gesturing for Nyssa to sit down, he took his place in one of the as a vicar began to pray  read from the Scriptures. 

"if there is anyone,"  the vicar started, "Who wishes to say a few words in remembrance of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge- Stewart, please come forward."  

Nyssa watched the Doctor stand,  then pause as the blonde woman in the back did the same.  As if neither of them wanted to be the first to say anything. 

Challenge 353

Since I’m reading a book for class that’s written in first person ( and dialect), We’re doing a  POV challenge!

 Take a scene from a show/ movie, and try writing it in first person from one of the characters. For example.  the  goodbye scene in Doomsday from Rose’s point of view.
