"I was going to stay with you forever." Donna's last words to him, when she knew him, kept playing in his head. Erasing her memories had been one of the hardest decisions he had ever made. Still it had saved her life and she was out their alive and that's all that mattered in the end. Still it didn't help that his TARDIS was empty again and he felt lonelier then ever. He lay on his back staring up at the ceiling, trying desperately to catch the sleep that wouldn't come to him. He hadn't slept in days and while he could go longer with out sleep, he desperately wanted just a few hours of the oblivion sleep brought.

He rolled out of bed and headed to the shower. After showering quickly he dressed in his blue suit and took the TARDIS to a small marketplace, on a large moon, that he favored. He could always find new parts for his TARDIS there and the inhabitants were friendly. It was exactly the pick me up that he needed. He landed the TARDIS in her usual place and then headed out into the crowds. The day was slightly overcast and did nothing to help his mood. He strolled along the stalls but rather than feeling better he was beginning to feel worse. He paused as a small trinket caught his eye and that is when he heard it.

"Banana festival," One man was saying to his friend.

"Excuse me, did you say Banana festival." He interrupted them, his eyes alight with joy. If there was one thing that could cheer him up, a banana festival would be it.

"Yes I did sonny." He scowled at being called son but didn't interrupt. "Largest festival ever to take place in this Galaxy. Now personally I don't like bananas, but I was told by my Great Grandfather, it was a sight to see. Banana stalls stretching as far as the eye could see. There was even a banana parade."

"And when was this," He asked excitedly.

"About a hundred years ago on the second moon of Elton." The man smiled. "I hate to disappoint you kid, but your two late for it." The Doctor didn't pay him any attention though as he ran off. He ran onto his TARDIS, throwing his coat over the coral in the process as he quickly reset the coordinates on his TARDIS to head to the festival. He paused though, before he threw the lever to send him on his way. Changing his mind, for just a moment, he set the coordinates again and this time took off the hand break.

It was only a few minutes later, that he landed the TARDIS inside the Torchwood Hub and then waited impatiently for his companion. He knew that as soon as Jack heard the TARDIS engines, he would come to investigate. He didn't have to wait long, as Jack came running on, he was pulling up his trousers with one hand, as he carried his gun holster in the other.

"What is the matter Doc," He asked in concern.

"Leave that off my TARDIS, Jack. You know I don't like guns." He said impatiently and Jack turned and left for a moment. When he came back on his trousers were thankfully on and zipped. The Doctor put the TARDIS into the vortex as Jack approached the console.

"Where are we going?" Jack asked him as he watched the Time Lord run happily around the console.

"We are going to the largest Banana festival in the Universe," he told Jack excitedly.

"Isn't that the sort of thing you should drag Donna too?" Jack asked and the Doctor's face fell for just a moment before he plastered the smile back on it. "I'm sorry. What happened?"

"She's with her family," He stated, not wanting to tell Jack anymore. "Now your room is still where you left it... I think. Go get dressed." He landed the TARDIS and then confirmed that he had the right place before heading over to the doors to wait impatiently for Jack. It was only after a minute that he started to fidget and then another minute passed before he began to pace.

"Jack." He rolled his name in annoyance as he bounced on his heels excitedly. "Come on we're going to be late." he whined.

"Only you could be excited for a banana festival," Jack laughed as he came out of the back of the TARDIS. He was finishing buttoning up his shirt and tucked it into trousers before pulling his suspenders up. He had put his boots and socks on in the room and was disappointed to find he didn't have a coat in there. Still at least he was dressed, though he wondered how upset the Doctor would be if he walked around shirtless.

"It's not just a banana festival, it is the biggest banana festival the universe." he huffed as he explained. "There are bananas from every corner of the universe. They even have red bananas which don't taste as nice but have a firmer texture. Also there is banana cake, pie, ice cream, tarts, shampoo, lotion, soap..."

"Condoms," Jack interrupted trying to embarrass him and was surprised when the Doctor nodded.

"Jellies, candy, crisp." he continued his list as he grabbed Jack by the hand and dragged him out the TARDIS door.
