The Doctor regained his composure and pulled away from the comforting arms of Donna. He has to find out what this was. His mind was so unused to having the telepathic links of another Time Lord that his brain had malfunctioned and to top it all off he now had a splitting headache. And the continuous fussing from Donna was becoming annoying.

"Well what do you mean another Time Lord?"

"Exactly what I say, another Time Lord"

"But I thought you said they were all gone?"

"Yeah I thought they were. Anyway, its probably just an interference in the telepathic loop, nothing to worry about." Knowing full well that that was nothing to do with it.

"Then why did you go all shaky like a leaf then. Doctor, I may not be an out of space super genius, but I know when something is up, and right now something is most definitely up" She put her hands on her hips and looked at him defiantly.

"Ok do you really want to help me?" he asked, giving in.

"Yup" she nodded grinning. She was waiting for some death-deifying task to be asked of her.

"Go to the…" he started trying to think of the furthest room away from the console room. "… Wardrobe room and find me a nice tie to go with my suit"

"What the hell Doctor is that it?"

"Yup" he said in his annoyingly cheery voice.

Knowing that she was not going to get anything else out of him, she trudged off to her bedroom, not even bothering with the tie, knowing that he just wanted her out of his hair for a while.

Back in the console room, the Doctor was trying to find an explanation for what he had just and still was experiencing. Something was reaching out in his mind, drawing him in. The feel of another Time Lord. There was another Time Lord. He wanted the words to sink in to his brain, but he could not let them. He was so used to having explanations for everything, he was in denial to believe that anything without explanation simply did not exist. The TARDIS had quietened down, her constant peaceful whiiring giving him some comfort. He used his telepathic communication with the TARDIS to try to find out what was going on.

"TARDIS what is going on, can you feel it to?

"Yes I feel the mind of another. Another like you"

"Exactly, how can that be possible?"

"I shall take you to the place that will answer all your questions. Hold on tight"

The TARDIS jerked back into life with a gut wrenching shudder and began its path to where all questions would be ansered…
