What if that comment over "outer space facebook" was not innocent, and actually love at first sight for Donna and Jack? I absolutely love the idea of them together, so this fic came about. There's DoctorRose in it as well, of course, but it's mainly about those two.

I am sooooooooooo looking forward to Journey's End in just two days (eep!) but a little worried about Dalek Caan's warning that the most faithful companion will die. 'Cos we all know who that is, right? Yup, a certain blonde with the same surname as me. Not looking good for Rose, is it?

Enjoy! Donna xxx

Part One

Chapter One- Someone's Rose

"And who's he?" Donna asked, pointing a finger at the dark haired man on the screen. She leaned in closer to look at him, mesmorized, annoyed that the screen was split into four so his image was only tiny.

Jack suddenly caught sight of the red-haired woman standing behind the Doctor. His breath caught in his throat. Even in the midst of all that was happening, he couldn't help but think: she is beautiful.

"Donna Noble, Captain Jack, Captain, this is Donna" The Doctor hurriedly introduced them, then felt the need to turn to his companion and add, "And don't...just don't."

It was a long running joke between the Doctor and him, but Jack was starting to tire of it. The Doctor had no right to assume he was a flirt and nothing more, what if one day Jack actually found someone he loved and got serious? His face stayed straight instead of cracking into a smile like the Doctor's. He nodded at Donna and mouthed "Later" in her direction. She smiled shyly back at him, quite unable to tear her eyes away from his.

Jack and Donna were simultaneously snapped out of it. "Jack?" Gwen asked worriedly, waving a hand in front of his face.

"Donna!" the Doctor did the same to her, and she shook her head to pull her thoughts together. Jack grinned sheepishly at her, and then the screen suddenly turned fuzzy, and they lost sight of he, Martha, and Sarah. "We've lost 'em!" Donna cried, panicking. Then the Doctor said something about another signal, and Donna was pulled back to reality. The Daleks. The war. the Darkness, the end of the universe.

How can you be thinking about a cute guy right now, when there are so many dabgerous things happening? Donna screamed in her head, and she focused back on the task at hand as a raspy voice boomed out.

Stop thinking about her, Davros is talking and there are Daleks on the way to Torchwood! Was what was going through Jack's mind as he listened to the voice which sent shivers down his spine. There was work to be done.

"Thank you, Martha Jones!" Jack cried, and snapped the phone shut. He dashed over to Gwen, who helped him pull on the teleport device. "I gotta go," he said hurriedly, "I gotta find the Doctor." And Donna, he thought, but pushed those thoughts aside.

"I'll come back." he said to the worried looking Gwen and Ianto, "I'm comin' back!" he assured them, trying his best to smile.

"Don't worry about us. Just go." Gwen told him, trying to stop the worry from coming out in her voice.

"We'll be fine." Added Ianto.

The Captain grinned for real this time. "You'd better be!" he told them, then pulled the a heavy gun into his hands and disappeared in a flash of blue.

The Doctor said something about setting co-ordinates for Earth.

"Right, yeah," Donna agreed vaguely, trying not to look upset.

"You alright?" he asked her distractedly, not looking up from the controls.

"Yeah," she began, "I just..." she realised he wasn't really listening, so it would be a waste of breath. "Yeah."

"Here we are!" he cried, and bounded down the ramp without looking back, assuming she would follow him. Like she always did. Trailing after him everywhere like a little dog. She dawdled on her way to the door, telling herself off for wanting to complain. What is the matter with you? She asked herself furiously. There's a battle going on here, they need you, this is no time to be weak!

Donna followed the Doctor out of the TARDIS, and was shocked to see the London street deserted and wrecked. "It's like a ghost town," she muttered.

"Sarah Jane said they were taking the people, what for?" The Doctor turned to her, concentrating hard. "Think, Donna. When you met Rose in that parallel world, what did she say?"

She tried, really she did, but she couldn't concentrate. On the verge of tears, she mumbled her reply. "Nothin'. Just - The darkness is comin'."

He looked at her, eyes wide, clearly frustrated. She couldn't blame him, she wasn't being much use. "Anything else?"

Trying hard not to break down, she looked around her helplessly for an answer that she couldn't give. Then she caught sight of her. Rose.

A real smile broke out on Donna's face. "Why don't you ask her yourself?" She said quietly as the Doctor stared at her like she was mad. His brow furrowed, and he mouthed "wh-?" before he turned around and saw her too.

Donna's eyes filled up as the Doctor and Rose's eyes met, and as they began to run toward each other they spilled over. The Doctor and Rose had found each other again, and they were all each other needed. Donna had met the Doctor right after he had lost her, and he had been in bits. She had met Rose as she was searching for him, and she was an empty shell of a girl. They completed each other, and boy, was Donna happy for them. Really, she was.

But a tiny part of her could only think: Why haven't I found someone like that yet? Do I not deserve a Doctor? Do I not deserve to be someone's Rose?

Waiting for them to reach each other was torture. The moment was nearly there, when suddenly the look on Rose's face turned to panic. Donna by now could tell that something was not right, and she set off at a run toward the couple. She saw the Dalek just as it screeched "EXTERMINATE!"

She saw the Doctor try to dash out of its firing line, and fail. She saw him fall to the ground, apparently lifeless. She saw Rose run to him, drop to her knees beside him. And, out of the corner of her eye, Donna saw Captain Jack appear in a flash of blue light and blast the Dalek to pieces before it could possibly destroy their lives any more.

She ran toward him at the speed of light, all the while thinking God, no, he can't die. Not him, Not my Doctor. Anything but this!

Jack appeared on a deserted London street, just in time to hear "EXTERMINATE!" and see the Doctor fall flat on his face. And to see Rose Tyler dropping beside the Doctor, taking his head in her hands. The gorgeous woman named Donna ran toward them, her face tear streaked and in a state of panic. First things first,he thought, and blasted the Dalek to hell before dashing to the Doctor.

Donna reached the Doctor at the same time as Jack did, and he cried "Get him into the TARDIS, quick!" She obliged, their eyes meeting briefly over the Doctor's limp form as they dragged him towards the police box. She looked terrified, and he gave her a reassuring nod, his eyes saying everything.

Donna and Rose finally deposited the Doctor on the grated floor of the TARDIS. Sobbing and absolutely petrified, Donna stood up. "What do we do?" she asked through her tears. "There must be some medicine or something!" This wasn't happening. The Doctor couldn't die, not now, not here.

She looked helplessly at Jack, who came toward them. "Just step back!" He said, frantically but kindly. "Donna! Rose! Do as I say and get back! He's dying, and you know what happens next!"

"What d'you mean?" She sobbed. "Whad'you mean, what happens next?" She heard the Doctor grunt in pain.

"It's starting..." his voice came faintly, and Donna stepped closer to Jack.

She stepped closer to him. Jack could see how frightened Donna was, and put his arms around her. This was entirely meant to comfort her, but surprisingly it helped him, too.

They both looked over at Rose, who was still crouched next to the writhing Doctor. "Rose..." he called, but he knew it would be no use. Rose had just found her Doctor again, and by no means would she step away from him now. He sighed, giving up on trying to convince Rose to step back. Instead, he cried "Good luck!" and held tightly to Donna as the Doctor began to glow gold.

A determined look came over Rose's face. "I've come all this way." She said, breathing heavily through her tears, "There's no way I'm lettin' you go now."

The Doctor managed to pull himself to his feet, trying desperately to shake Rose's hand off his own. She didn't let go. "I'm regenerating..." he managed to force out, before the gold light erupted from his body in great streams. Donna and Jack shielded their faces, but Rose wouldn't give up on him.

She took a deep, resolute breath, then stepped forward and kissed the Doctor passionately. The gold light engulfed both of them, so neither of them were visible.

Donna didn't even know about normal regeneration, let alone this, and Jack had no idea what this would do to Rose and the Doctor. Clinging tightly to one other, tears streaming down both of their faces, all they could do was wait and see what would happen next.

Did you like it? Please review! I know this chapter was mostly just recapping the TV show, but the next one (which i will definitely get up before the finale airs) will be entirely my creation. I had to make something up for the last part of this, because I really have no idea how he's gonna get out of regenerating. This would be good, though!
