Title: The Only Person

Rating: K+

Summary: During Aliens of London, Rose said she was the only person on Earth who knew aliens existed. Oh, how wrong she was...

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who.

Author's Note: Now, there is a lot of different versions of what happened to the Doctor's companions after they left, in New Adventure novels, audio plays, etc. This is my own version of what happened to them, and may or may not be influenced by these texts. You should really only read this if you've watched the classics. However, if you are a New Whovian and still want to read it, there will be an explanation at the bottom of each chapter.

The Only Person

"I've seen all that stuff up there, the size of it, and I can't say a word," said Rose Tyler. "Aliens and spaceships and things, and I'm the only person on Planet Earth who knows they exist." Next to her, the Doctor cleared his throat.

"Morning dear," said Ian Chesterton to his wife as he came down for breakfast.

"Morning," replied Barbara, handing her husband his morning cup of coffee. "I see you had a bit of a sleep-in."

"Mm," said Ian. "I'm afraid my body needs a bit more rest these days. Especially after … last night." Barbara smirked as she remembered her birthday present the previous night. Her husband truly was a remarkable man.

"So what are you planning on doing today?" asked Barbara.

"Don't know," admitted Ian as he sat down and switched on the television. "Now I'm retired, I've got the whole world to explore."

"I think we did enough of that in our younger years," said Barbara, joining Ian on the couch. "Right now I'm happy just to be here – with you." They smiled at each other, and Ian gave Barbara a quick kiss on the lips.

"Breaking news – a UFO has crashed into Big Ben," announced the television. Ian and Barbara looked at each other.

"On second thoughts," said Ian, "how about we take a trip down to central London?"

For New Whovians - Ian and Barbara were the First Doctor's original companions (after his granddaugher Susan). I am yet to write a fic about them where they are not married.

I was going to wait until I had a few more chapters written until I posted, but I just couldn't resist! As such, there may be a bit of a break between chapters.

Also, this about companions on PRESENT DAY EARTH, so you won't be seeing all of the companions.
