Hello all! Well here's the beginning to my new fic. Enjoy!

Donna's lingering gaze met up with the nighttime sky, her ginger locks falling over her back as she leaned onto the palms of her hands. A soft summer breeze swept up and over the hill she was currently sitting on and she found her eyes close momentarily as she inhaled the scent of her neighbor's garden floated on the wind.
Tilting her head back once more, she opened her eyes watching as the glittering lights above her displayed their ritual dance.
She couldn't believe that this would be the last time she would ever sit on this hill, she had decided that the best way for everyone was if she had gotten a place of her own. It was a nice little flat and not far from her mum's house, but it was far enough that she would not be able to come every night and sit up here with her gramps.
Of course, after his accident, he hadn't been up here as much as he wanted to be. With his leg being broken, his daughter saw to it that he rested easy and that climbing to the top of some ruddy hill was not what the doctor would have wanted.
But, Donna felt that she had to at least come out here once more, for old time's sake.
So, here she was, watching the sky. She didn't have any particular reason to come out here, and her mother had tried to persuade her to leave the matter alone, but Donna had managed to slip out of the house while her mother was preoccupied with Wilf.
She sniffed softly as the wafting aroma of roses swelled before passing her by. She would miss that smell. Her new apartment was nice, but the sights and sounds of this place would not surround her. Instead of rose gardens and lush green grasses, she had settled for a place in the city, enclosed in a vision of concrete.
Donna moved to relax on her knees and rested there for a moment, before shuffling over to the telescope that she had taken with her. Her jeans would be covered with grass stains, but she overlooked the trifle matter, at least until laundry day.
Placing her hand on the smooth, cool surface, Donna recalled when this telescope came into her life. It had been a Christmas present from her mother to her father.
It had been her father that first introduced her to the world of stars. Next to his family, it had been a true love of his life. She remembered sitting on his knee as he pointed out to her the various constellations and told her the stories of how the Gods and Goddesses of ancient world managed to get stuck in the night sky.
Now, her father was gone, and taking the reigns fittingly, her grandfather made sure to keep up the stories and the wonders of the universe for her whenever she wished to hear them.
Closing one eye she leaned forwards and peeked into the lens.
Venus, with her luminous blue hue glowing millions of miles away, her unreserved disposition winking at whoever would stop and stare.
'It's the only planet that's named after a woman.'
'Good for her.'
She smiled and the memory, it had been just before her life had changed once more, before she had to rethink her life, before she met the Doctor for the second time.
Sighing tiredly she lifted her eyes back up towards the sky, and for the briefest moment she had hoped to see a blue police box flying overhead.
She wondered if it had been better not trying to find him again, wondered if she had they would have been able to make it work, or would it have just ended in heartache like last time.
Donna tried again and again to convince herself that she had to find him, that it would be better once she was with him again. But, as elusive as the Doctor was, it seemed that he and his whereabouts were one in the same. Managing to stay far away from her as possible.
She had to admit there had been times, just before having her memories restored, that she thought she saw a flap of a brown coat flying around the corner, or his slim frame ducking behind a bin as she turned her head towards his direction.
It was a surprising turn of events that happened a month ago, waking up with a slight headache and for a moment forgetting that she no longer was living on Earth instead of being in the TARDIS. She knew immediately from the look on her mother's face when she asked where the Doctor was, that she wasn't going to burn up as the Time Lord had said. All that had troubled her was the fact that the Doctor was gone and she had to live a normal life.
Sighing, Donna stood slowly and began to fold up the telescope, her hair tumbling down over her eyes, missing the police box flittering past her in the midnight blue above.
Lifting the instrument, she started walking back down the hill, she had to make sure that she had everything ready for when she left in the morning.
