The Doctor sighed lightly and hugged Robin back, holding her tightly to his chest as he finally accepted the inevitable, Robin Baker was going to college and not even he could change that.<br/><br/>The Doctor knew that in a way this would be for the best. He still needed to investigate the gap in the universe and find out why the walls between dimensions were breaking down, and if experience had taught him anything, it was that catastrophic events such as that were bound to lead to something incredibly dangerous. It would be much safer for Robin to remain on Earth, safe and sound, living her odd new life.<br/><br/>"I'll miss you too Robin Baker," the Doctor mumbled as they parted and gave Robin a small smile as he kicked open the door of the TARDIS. "I'll be back soon. Try not to blow the place up while I'm gone. I would like the pleasure of doing that."<br/><br/>And with that the Doctor stepped back into the TARDIS, waving at the young Time Lord with a twinkle in his eye and a sparkle in his pearly white grin.<br/><br/>"Toodles!" He called before shutting the door and within moments the TARDIS began to flicker in and out of existence, its unearthly sounds resounding through the car park, as it dematerialised and began its journey, leaving Robin alone at Rice University, ready to begin her own adventure.<br/><br/>At least, it seemed that way at first. Before Robin could so much as blink, the TARDIS returned, slowly emerging once more on the concrete of the car park. The doors opened and the Doctor stepped out, still wearing the 1930s suit and the fedora hat.<br/><br/>"Silly me," the Doctor sighed, shaking his head wearily as he stepped out of the magical blue box. "Almost forgot something very important" the Doctor said and without a second of hesitation, grabbed Robin by the collar of shirt and pulled her into him, before planting a firm kiss to her mouth.<br/><br/>This time, the kiss was not innocent or light, this time the kiss was passionate, so much so that Robin's balance was almost taken away by the fierceness of the embrace. The Doctor held Robin tightly to him, his thumb gently brushing her cheek while his other hand placed itself on the small of her back, keeping her pressed to him, until eventually he pulled back and let out a small gruff chuckle against her lips.<br/><br/>"Now we're even," the Doctor said before smacking Robin on the backside and running back to the TARDIS, giving Robin one last wink before closing the doors behind him and setting off on a new journey, laughing loudly the entire time.
