Summary: So there is a new character who changes the course of events for the Doctor and his fellow companions. Begins during the end of Partners in Crime. There will be 10/Rose pairings but not for awhile. Now back to the Adipose matron…

"And If I never see you again it'll be too soon."

The matron smiled smugly at the Doctor and Donna. Suspended in the gravity-defying, blue light the matron was ready to ascend to be with her 'children'.

Staring incredulously at Donna the Doctor tried to reason. "Why does no one ever listen? I'm trying to help. Just get across to the roof. Can you shift the levitation beam?"

The matron looked at him as if he had two heads, though that was most likely not the best analogy. "What? So you can arrest me?"

"Listen," he told her seriously. "I heard the Adiposian instructions. They know it's a crime; breading on earth. So what's the one thing they want to get rid of?"

He paused if only for a moment. Donna now understood where this conversation was going and the importance of what the Doctor said.

"Their accomplice."

"I'm far more than that," Matron stated, raising her chin defiantly. "I'm Nanny. To all these children!"

She raised her arms as if to embrace them.

"Exactly! Mum and Dad have got the kids, they don't need the Nanny anymore!"

At that moment, the blue light above went out. The Matron stared at the Doctor for an endless moment panicked. As she began to fall, a deafening roar was heard in the street below. About 4 floors from the ground a large white cat pounced and hit the Matron into the window.

Frantically looking over the edge, the Doctor found no body and the splattering of glass falling to the bushes. Grabbing Donna's hand he frantically pulled her down the flights of stairs. Rounding the corner quickly the Doctor tripped over the large animal laying in the doorway.

He exclaimed as glass shredded his hands. Pulling himself up quickly he checked the Matron's vitals. Alive. Faint but alive. Sighing in relief he turned to the doorway as the massive animal started to shift. Donna trapped between the corner and the…tiger?
