The Doctor's words were silenced by the kiss. He made no move to end it or return the kiss, he was but a statue, still and unfeeling. When she pulled away his mouth hung open a little, but Robin wouldn't be able to see the look on his face, for his eyes were hidden by strands of thick blonde hair.<br/><br/>Eventually, the Doctor got to his feet and turned to the controls, where he began to work on them in silence. Letting a minute or two pass before he spoke to her.<br/><br/>"Robin," he began, his shoulders slumped as he looked back at her. "You can't do that again," he said softly. "Don't think I'm not flattered or perhaps... tempted, but I've been down this road too many times," he said before pressing a button on the TARDIS control pad. Images of pretty young women began to line the walls of the TARDIS.<br/><br/>They were all different. One was a picture of a young black woman with dark eyes and dressed in red leather. Another was a women with brown hair and draped in a black jacket with colorful badges. One was a beautiful brown haired woman dressed in an old fashioned woolen sweater. Another was a blonde in casual sweats with pretty red lips.<br/><br/>The faces went on and on. Each of them smiling cheerfully, but yet the story behind the faces was all to clear.<br/><br/>"I loved them all in one way or another," the Doctor said, turning back to the controls and running his fingers over them tenderly. "They were the people I lived for. They were my best friends and my greatest loves. Each of them irreplaceable and so very precious to me."<br/><br/>"And I lose them all. Every time," He said bitterly. "A Time Lord like me can be friends with humans. I can open your world and in return you can honor me by being your wonderful self...but I can't give you true happiness. It never works."<br/><br/>He flipped a lever and the TARDIS began to play that grinding other wordly tune that signaled that it was in flight. The glowing tube in the centre of the room began to flicker a little as the sounds became louder. Whatever it was doing was certainly more complex than the usual trips through time.<br/><br/>"So please...don't do it again," the Doctor whispered. "I want to be best friends with you, partners in crime, amigos, that's all. I desire nothing else."
