Time for the legalities. I do not Own the rights to Doctor Who the BBC does. I like to fill in the gaps between episodes.


I went on every shopping trip with Donna and her mother. I didn't want Donna out of my sight. Anything can happen on this unpredictable planet. I bought everything Donna needed for the wedding.

We walked by a jewelry store, Donna and her mum happen to slow down and "window shop".

"What are you looking at Donna?" I asked.

"Oh, just drooling over the sapphire and diamond necklace in the window."

"You're going to be late for your appointment to get your nails done." Sylvia interjected.

The nail salon was only three stores ahead of where we were.

"Getting nails done sounds rather boring. I'm going to look in at the shops. I'll meet you at the salon." When they were out of sight I went back to the jewelry store. I asked the clerk if I he would take the necklace out of its case so I could have a closer look at it.

It was a very nice piece, an open heart design made of gold, with alternating sapphires and diamonds along the inner left edge.

I met up with Donna and Sylvia just as they were getting their nails finished. 'Donna has such nice hands. I thought.

"Nice nails ladies. I complimented as Sylvia had hers done too. Shall we have dinner out." I said gazing into Donna's eyes just a little too long.

"Do I have something on my face? You're staring at me again."

I broke the gaze and said "Ah... no... Let's call Wilf and see if he's up for going out."

Wilf met us at the restaurant. The ladies talked about the days shopping and what was bought.

"Donna don't forget about the accessory you bought." I said.

"I didn't buy any accessories, what are you going on about."

"Sure you did, you had me hold it for you." I took a small oblong box out of my pocket and handed it to her. She opened the box and saw the necklace she had been drooling over.

"Doctor, Why... where... when...." Donna stuttered.

I took it from her and placed it around her neck. ... It took every ounce of self-control to resist the temptation to kiss her neck.

"You look love... it looks lovely on you." I said.

"Thank you, Doctor. It is lovely, but I don't know, it seems to be a bit much."

"Nothing is too much for you." I said as I gazed longingly into her eyes.

"Doctor, we need to go." "Doctor, DOCTOR!!!" she yelled as she slapped my arm, to bring me back to the here and now.

"Ouch, what was that for."

"We need to go home... I'm not feeling well" She lied.

We told Wilf and Sylvia we'd see them back at the house. I settled the tab and we left.

"Doctor, what is up with you lately. You're not focused, you keep looking at me like, I don't know what."

"Need to keep busy... been in once place to long.... and ah..." I was grasping at anything to excuse my behavior.

"I know you want my mum to like you but drop the lovey-dovey comments please."

I looked down at my shoes. "You're right, I just wanted to keep the peace between the two of you. No more comments, I promise." Why don't I just tell her the truth. Hey, Donna, since our kiss I am extremely attracted to you. No that wouldn't work.

"You need to take the necklace back. I don't even know how you paid for all this stuff."

"Donna, keep the necklace. As a thank you for saving my life and for giving up yours, to travel with me. Don't worry about money, I have that covered."

There were a few awkward moments then I broke the silence with " Let your mum and granddad know I'm going to stay at a 'hotel' tonight. I can get some maintenance done on the TARDIS.

She gave me a hug goodnight. I pulled her closer to me than usual. Donna pushed back a little to put some space between us. "Oy, personal space, Time Lord." She gave me a strange look as she turned to enter her house.
