A/N I had originally intended this as a one shot. But then I got a little fond of my Eleven and now its turning into a Donna fixit.
The BBC owns everything but my Eleven.
After Donna finished lunch she decided to take a walk in the nearby park. She strolled a bit and then settled on a bench to sun herself and people watch. A strange man walking rapidly through the park caught her attention.
"An overcoat and a scarf in August." She thought. "Bloke must be bonkers."
Whistling merrily, the man sat on a bench a short way from Donna and began rummaging in his pockets. He pulled out a bundle done up with string and rubber bands. As he started to undo it Donna saw it was a piece of cardboard wrapped around a stack of random bits of paper. He shuffled through it, selected a piece of paper then did the rest up and put it back in his pocket. Laying the paper on the bench he searched inside his coat and pulled out a pencil and then a clipboard.
Donna stared. "No way he pulled that out of a pocket. He must have had it tucked under his arm or something."
Smoothing out the paper he put it on the clipboard and began to sketch.
Donna watched him for a few minutes then looking at her watch realized it was time to head back to work. Another boring afternoon at another temp job, just wizard.
The man was still drawing and whistling, curious Donna made her way around and looked over his shoulder.
"That is quite good."
The man turned regarding her with protuberant pale blue eyes beneath a reddish blond fringe. He was about her age and nowhere near handsome.
"Don- er, do you think so?"
"Well yeah. Are you an artist or something? "
"Oh no, I just dabble a bit."
"Oh, well you're good at it. I'm Donna by the way Donna Noble."
"John Smith."
"That's funny a John Smith came to see my Gramp a few months ago, a different bloke, you are nothing like him."
"I know."
"How could you know? I just met you."
"Well, there you go then, if we just met, I couldn't possibly be the man who came to your house. And besides John Smith is a common name."
"That's true." Donna looked at her watch. "I have to get back to work, do you come to the park often?"
"Oh no, just passing through."
"Well, nice meeting you."
"Nice meeting you too."
As Donna started to walk away, she thought she heard him say "You shouldn't have had the Thai noodles, they never agree with you."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." His head was bowed over his work.
Donna walked away shaking her head. "Weirdo's."
The Doctor raised his head and watched her go. "Good-bye Donna." he said softly.
