Chapter 1
A Most Curious Planet
"So, Donna Noble, in a few moments you shall step onto the wonderful planet of Barcelona. Hills! Luscious grass and fantastic cities filled with many wonderful people! Picture it before your eyes and it shall be there!"
The Doctor proceeded to quickly flit about the Tardis and turn numerous levers and input numbers of his computer. His hands tremored slightly with excitement.
Donna wondered silently to herself. "Where did he acquire his computers?" She would have looked into this matter further but the familiar heavy breathing sound of the Tardis whisked her away into a myriad of thoughts. Still, after all of this time, the mystery of new places excited her to the point of giddy curiosity.
Crash!!! "Not a common sound aboard a Tardis." Though Donna as the Tardis came to a sudden and unexpected stop.
"Doctor? Are we at Barcelona? 'Cause if so I think that we landed a bit funny don't you think?"
Not quite hearing her, the Doctor ran around the Tardis. Thinking aloud he checked all of the various instruments. "Excuse me, but since when have you been here? The Tardis indicated that there was nothing here during travel, and suddenly it was alerted to your rather large existence. And since I trust my Tardis, you Sir, are in the wrong. Let's see, if …"
Thinking many of the same things herself Donna quietly paced around the Tardis, finding herself at the Door. "Um, ah Doctor? I think I'm just gonna … take a look outside real quick. I'll be right …" But before she finished the last word, the door of the Tardis clicked shut.
"Entire planets don't just pop out of nowhere! Well, that is to say, not normally. There was the one time Nexus disappeared, and landed in some poor woman's backyard. But that's different, there was an intergalactical rod and an angry civilization involved. So why did you decide to appear in front of my Tardis. That is not really proper manner if I do say. So, Donna, what do say? Let's go and have a look-see, shall we?"
No answer.
"Donna? Donna, where are you? You didn't go and …"
The Doctor stepped out of the Tardis not knowing where his foot would fall.
