Title: Thanks for the Memories, Donna Noble

A/N: First songfic! Post Journey's End.

X.X.X

Donna Noble gaped at the Doctor, about to cry. She stepped back a little. "No, no, no, please! No!" She felt a hot tear roll down her cheek, knowing that the Doctor would have to do it.

The Doctor put his hands on Donna on either side of her head and closed his eyes. He focused, and wiped her mind of their great adventures. Agatha Christie and the Vespiforms, CAL and her library, the Empress of the Racnoss and her husband to be that betrayed her, the Ood and the Ood Sphere, all of it. All of it wiped from her memories. Donna's knees grew weak and she fell into the Doctor's arms.

I'm gonna make you bend and break

(It sent you to me without wings)

Say your prayer but let the good times roll

In case God doesn't show

(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll.)

The Doctor hugged Donna tight, now himself being the one who was shedding a few tears. "I'm so sorry Donna," the Doctor whispered to her, but he knew that sadly she was knocked out and could not possibly hear the Doctor.

And I want these words to make things right

But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life

Who does he think he is?

If that's the worst you got better put your fingers back to the keys.

The Doctor set Donna down on the floor and moved to the control console of the TARDIS. He set the coordinates for Donna's home. When he did, the big blue tube started to move up and down inside it. The Doctor turned and lifted the limp Donna back up. He looked into her closed eyes, and wished that he could leave her with all the memories of how brilliant she had been.

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you only sweeter!

"Donna Noble, you were brilliant!" he smiled, only to have a few more tears roll down the Time Lord's cheeks. "You were absolutely fantastic!"

The Doctor's face twisted into sorrow, deeply wishing she could be able to remember and continue being the Doctor's companion. But she could not, for if she did, she would die. The thought of Donna dying made Doctor cry even more, but he quickly wiped his tears away, set Donna down, and went back to the controls.

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories

See, he tastes like you only sweeter!

The TARDIS jerked a little, and the Doctor grabbed the edge of the control console for support. He ran around the console, pressing buttons, pulling levers. After finishing this, he turned back to Donna and gave her a weak smile.

Been looking forward to the future

But my eyesight is going bad

And these crystal balls

The Doctor looked at her, and realized he may never be able to see her again. The Doctor turned away from her and back to the controls, not wanting to become more sorrowful than he already was.

It's always cloudy except for

(Except for)

When you look into the past

(Look into the past)

One night stand

One night stand off!

The Doctor forced himself to look at Donna. He suddenly spoke, "Donna, you won't remember me, but I promise that I will always remember you."

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories

Even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you only sweeter!

The Doctor sensed he was close to her house. He flipped a few more switches and pressed a couple more buttons before--

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories

See, he tastes like you only sweeter!

--the TARDIS jerked again. This time, the Doctor lost his grip and fell down. He knew that if Donna were awake and could remember, he'd laugh and say, "Nice one, Spaceman!"

They say I think in the form of crunching numbers

In hotel rooms, collecting page six lovers

Get me out of my mind

I'll get you out of those clothes

I'm a liner away, from getting you into the mood, whoa!

The Doctor smirked when the word "Spaceman" popped up. But she might of said, "Alien boy", "Martian", or something in range of those. All of the good memories the Doctor had with Donna flooded in all at once, and he smiled. It was a good feeling to see Donna happy, even if they were only mere memories.

One night and one more time

Thanks for the memories

Even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you only sweeter!

The Doctor stood up, hoping to see Donna standing and smiling back at him. She wasn't.

One night, yeah, and one more time

Thanks for the memories

See, he tastes like you only sweeter!

Donna just lay there, unmoving. The sight made the Doctor sad and he looked away and continued on with his ritual of buttons and levers with the console.

One night and one more time

(One more night, one more time)

Thanks for the memories

Even though they weren't so great

He tastes like you only sweeter!

The Doctor looked at the controls, not daring to look at Donna for it would make him unhappy to see Donna the way she was right now.

One night, yeah, and one more time

(One more night, one more time)

Thanks for the memories

(For the memories, thanks for the memories)

See, he tastes like you only sweeter!

The Doctor felt the TARDIS land, and he knew they were here. Swallowing his sadness, he turned to Donna and picked her in his arms. He walked towards the TARDIS doors, but stopped.

The Time Lord looked at Donna, yet another tear rolling down his cheek. "Thank you. Thanks for the memories, Donna Noble."

And with that, he walked out of the TARDIS, out into the night and spotted Donna's house. He walked over to the porch and set her down, sitting down next to her. Suddenly, the door opened and Granddad appeared.

"Help me," the Doctor said.

The End

A/N: Please review. I just need to say, what the frick! Why'd Donna have to forget everything? It just ticks me off. They better bring her back in Series 5, or I'm going psycho on the writers! LOL Just kidding. But they better bring her back. Sorry if I got any part of the lyrics wrong. Don't sue me! Donna rules!
