Cheswick-June 2008
'How do people do that!' Donna asked to herself angry, they knock on the door or the phone rings just as you step in the shower or entering in the bed; She had just come back from her trip to Egypt, get inside her cozy bed when that bloody knock woke her up.
"It better be something good!" she said as she open the door, there in front of her, was a beautiful young woman, long blond hair, dark glasses covering her eyes, she was wearing a blue shirt and black jeans along with a long coat.
"Hello Donna Noble" the woman said slowly as she takes her glasses of, revealing her honey eyes.
"Hurry up blonde! I want to sleep" Donna demanded losing her temper.
"Tell me are you still looking for the Doctor?" 'Oh that cought her attention', Rose though when Donnas' eyes open large.
As soon as those words left Rose lips Donna grab her and take her inside the house, she sit her on the couch and stand in front of her, like a teacher in front of a problematic student.
"Speak!"
Without any trace of being intimidated by her, the blond girl takes a small white paper bag from her coat and took a piece of candy. "Jelly babies?" she asked with a smile betting her candy.
"I don't want any bloody jelly babies, just tell me about the Doctor!"
"If you still want to find him, go there" the blond girl gives her a business card.
"Adipose industries" Donna muted reading the words in the card frowning confused, when she get her eyes out of the card and back to the girl, she wasn't there anymore. "Wha..wha..what!"
It's been a week since Martha left, and after he got in contact with UNIT to get her a job he had avoided earth like it was poisoned, but now the TARDIS bring him here, Rassilon knows why, oh his cheeky ship with a mind of her own.
"Can you at least give me a clue?"
He asked and the ship show him a commercial of Adipose industries, a miracle way of loosing weight.
"Are you saying I need to lose weight?"
Laughing he took his coat and step out of the ship, without any idea of what a day was going to be, or the woman he was going to find again.
"Donna!" he scream in shock as he saw the ginger woman at the other side of the corridor, looking at him through the round window.
"Doc-tor!" he saw her lips moving forming the words.
"Wh - what - w - what?" he asked still in shock at the situation.
Ignoring his question Dona scream "Oh! My! *God*!"
"How?" the Doctor answer confused.
"It's me!" she gesticulate pointing at her face with both hands
The doctor nodded, gesturing to his eyes, then Donna "Yeah, I can see that."
Pointing to where she's standing, then two thumbs up "Oh, this... is... *brilliant*!"
"W - wha - what the hell are *you* *doing* *there*?" he asked pointing at where Donna was.
"I was" pointing to eyes "Looking for" then at The Doctor "You!"
Points at himself questioningly "What for?"
Donnamimic reading the paper "Read it..." Typing fingers in the air "... on the Internet..." wiggling fingers around her mouth "... so weird..." Walking fingers "... crept along..." thumb into room, hand-as-mouth "... heard them talking..." ducks down, comes back up, points "... looked, ah! *You*! " thumbs back at the blond woman with black glasses by the name of Miss Foster "Th..." Donna starts saying when the woman interrupts.
Miss Foster turns and looks right at The Doctor and he turns to see Miss Foster "Are we interrupting you?" she asked.
Donna runs, while the Doctor locks the door with his sonic screwdriver and raises his window-cleaning cradle to the roof before racing to the stairs. Where he crash against Donna.
"It's you!, the blonde was right!" she exclaimed exited once they stop hugging.
"What blond?" The Doctor was going to ask but Donna keep talking. "And you are wearing the same suit, don't you ever change?, and you are so thin eat a sandwich for god sake!"
"Not now" he whined taking her hand he started to run through the stairs.
Later on they found out what was going on, the blond woman-Miss Foster- was in fact Matron Cofelia of the Five-Straighten Classabindi nursery fleet, intergalactic class, who has been hired by the Adipose first family to breed the next generation of the species from humans following the loss of their breeding planet.
They were going to argue, the Doctor has a really nice argument against what she was doing, including galactic low against using a level 5 planet to breed.
Donna also had something to said, once she started investigating Adipose Industries, following the words from the blond and her own investigation, she found Stacy Campbell who was taking the pills, she die, dissolving into white blobs of fat.
But an alien ship appears over the building, cutting all lines of though.
"Premature labour" Miss Fosters whisper to herself as the family came looking for their kids. "The planet it's back!, Adipose 3 it's back!" she smile before noticing what does that mean, they didn't need her any more, and the Adipose first family knew that her actions where illegal.
"They are going to kill you" the Doctor whisper understanding her situation.
"What? Why!" Donna asked, she didn't like the woman, but didn't want her dead.
"She is the accomplice" the Doctor answer.
"Premature labour will kill anyone that took the pill" Miss Foster warn them "They will kill me, and there it's nothing anyone can do about it, but if you want to save those people, you will have to hurry up"
Donna run to the window and saw millions of those white blobs of fat walking to the building. "Oh my god!, Doctor!" the Doctor look outside and he sigh.
"How do we stop it?" she scolded taking Miss Foster from the shoulders.
"I know how, the inducer in the basement, come with me Donna!"
The Doctor took Donna's hand and started to run to the basement, they got inside the cupboard the doctor used to hide during the day.
"Did you find someone? Doctor?" Donna asked while he try to fix the problem to access the inducer.
"I did, Martha, Martha Jones, she got back to her family"
"I change my life you know, I went and travel and have a nice time but...it's not the same, it's all so boring I think what I want to said is...uhm I'm sorry for saying no the first time..."that is when she stop talking noticing the Doctor wasn't paying attention to her. "Oi are you listening to my space boy!"
"Yeah Yeah" he said distracted as he used his sonic screwdriver to stop the process by unscrewing his capsule and attaching it to his Inducer, but the Adipose family doubles the power. The Doctor begins to panic as he finds himself unable to stop the imminent deaths of a million people.
"I have other pill!" Donna suddenly remembers, she look in her pockets and give the pill to the Doctor. "See Donna Noble, pockets they are brilliant!" the Doctor grinned taking the pill which he use to overload the system, saving everyone.
They run outside just in time to see the levitation beams taking the 'babies', the Doctor smile looking up waving to one of the Adipose who wave back.
"You are not going to make it explode? Are you?" Donna asked waving too.
"No I won't, they are kids, they can't help where they came from"
"Oh, well that makes a change from last time. That Martha must've done you good." Donna smile at him.
"Yeah she did" he sniff before he continued "And I hurt her" she whisper the last part to himself "She fancied me"
"Mad Martha, that one. Blind Martha. Charity Martha." Donna said when suddenly notice what was she doing "I'm waving at fat!"
The Doctor laugh but the humour dies when they saw Miss Foster fall from one of the levitation beams.
Minutes later as they walk in the direction of Donna's car the Doctor remember the words that Donna try to tell him in the cupboard. "The last time, with Martha, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate." He started saying distracted.
"You just want to mate?" she repeated scolded.
"I just want *a* mate!" he try to explain.
"You're not matin' with me Sunshine!" Donna complain.
"A mate! I want *a* mate! A Friend" he repeated and now Donna understood "Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense! I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing, y'know, alien nothing!".
"So...you coming?" he asked unsecured.
"Oh yes! And I'm more than ready" she said opening the trunk of the car and started taking her bags.
"Ah hat box?, what do you need a hat box for?" he asked as she keep giving him thing to carry.
"Planet of the hats I'm ready!"
She said enthusiastic and put the car key under the bumper like she always did when she borrowed her mum's car and after a quick call she when walking with him to the TARDIS.
"Where do you want to go first?" the Doctor asked thinking how was he suppose to open the TARDIS door "Two and a half miles, that way" she said pointing somewhere the Doctor didn't see because of the million things he was caring.
As soon as they got to the TARDIS, Donna open the door whiteout any problem and the Doctor drop what was caring as he hear her scream. "It's you!"
Now without his vision blocked he saw the blond woman sitting in the ramp at the entrance of the TARDIS, the blond woman with the smile he could live a thousand years and never forget, immediately he felt his hearts racing like they always did when he see his Rose Marion Tyler.
"Who are you!" the Doctor demanded to know with a growling voice and face covered in red rage using his sonic screwdriver pointing at her face.
The Oncoming Storm is inn.
