Chapter 1 - So Tired

The machine whirred and disappeared, Donna turned to go inside. Then she turned back, just to check what had happened. The TARDIS was gone, it was as if it had never been there and it had all just been a dream. Slowly she turned back toward the house, back toward reality. Some part of her wished that it had just all been a dream, that she was still getting married to a man that loved her. Her reality was shattered, Lance had never loved her, he had used her, but even so he didn't deserve to die, not that way, nobody did.

Little did Donna know the Tardis hadn't gone far, just round the corner in fact. The Doctor looked out from the police box sadly, Donna hadn't asked for this. Most people didn't ask for what hey got in time travelling, but at least they had wanted to go and see the rest of time and the universe. She hadn't wanted any of that, she was happy with her normal life, maybe it was that normal life that made the human race so special. He was so tired of this life, never in one place for too long or with one person

Suddenly a teenager ran, smack bang into the TARDIS. Her hair fell about her face, as she looked up from the ground at the police box.

"Sorry," she gasped,"I didn't see this thing,it wasn't here yesterday."

"Just been put in," the doctor smiled at her,"Just now in fact."

"Oh..." the girl smiled back,"Why put a sixies police box in the middle of the street? And why is there a light coming out from behind you?"

The doctors eyes saddened as he spoke,"Stand back and see."
