A/N I don't own Doctor Who or any of these characters that I'm playing with. This is just a little something I wrote last year when Donna ceased to exist as we all know her. I haven't updated it to reflect the Christmas or Easter specials because I liked it too much as is.

"We could freeze her." Jack was playing with the bottle again. "It would give us more time to save her."

"Or she'll end up in the vault forever." Mickey was still typing, still holding on.

"We're not freezing Donna." Martha sighed, "There's just no way to fix the fact that she's now essentially a Time Lord trapped in a human body, unless we can find some way of growing a Time Lord to put her into, and as there's only one Time Lord left in existence… I just don't think that'll work. Besides I don't know how we'd transfer her consciousness from one body to another anyway. We're not going to win this one Jack."

"Martha, we don't stop just because it's a loosing battle and you know that! Everyday around here is a loosing battle we fail and people die and it happens everyday. Get some perspective and get back to work! Mickey, give her back the computer!" Jack bellowed. Martha dutifully took the computer.

'Never mind the fact that I know her better than any anyone else in this car and I can't find a way to save her without permanently damaging her brain, Donna wouldn't want to be alive and brain damaged.' Martha bit back some tears as she went back to searching.

"What about Rose, she absorbed the Time Vortex and she survived?" Mickey asked.

"Apples and Oranges" Martha clicked away on the computer.

"You know what's happening to you?"

"I want to stay"

"Donna, look at me. Look at me"

"I was going to be with you forever."

"I know"

"Rest of my life traveling in the TARDIS the Doctor Donna."

He moved closer.

"No, no I can't go back"

"Donna Noble, I am so sorry, but we had the best of times."

"No, no, please no" she pleaded.

Donna sat up straight, "The Doctor!" It all flooded in on her. "The Doctor Donna, part human, part Time Lord" she laughed hysterically. Lee was real but he was made up. The Library, the darkness… Vashta Nerada! She jumped up and flicked on the light.

"There's something on your back," she got the chills.

The family in Pompeii had been saved. Waving at blobs of fat, Martha Jones, ATMOS, Super Temp, Jenny…. She suddenly felt like they shouldn't have left so soon. She didn't know what regeneration was at the time but now she understood that it could take time, what if Jenny was still out there?! He didn't have to be alone. A GIANT BEE, had there been a GIANT BEE… yes there was it was huge and a clergyman to boot. Agatha Christie, she met Agatha Christie! The pieces of her life all started to fall in together. All of that stuff that she though she missed, she actually hadn't. She even knew why the bees had started disappearing. She laughed until she remembered why she woke up.

She was dying. He took her head, and he made it all go away. All of that growth, for nothing. He couldn't deal with watching her die after his other half committed genocide. After that HE couldn't deal with it. HE thought that this would be more humane! That spaceman had something coming. She had begged him, and he still did it! She had spent two years feeling relatively worthless for nothing; she was going to die anyway. She didn't get a normal life, did he think that she'd have a normal life?!

She had been so rude when he said goodbye. She didn't even look at him, she saw right through him. He just left. He had tried to save her life the only way he knew how. But she wasn't willing to pay that cost.

"Are you okay? You're up awful early." Her mum popped her head in the door.

"I'm fine Mum." She got up and started looking for clothes. If this was potentially her last day she didn't want to spend it in bed. She got dressed I her favorite outfit and took her mum out for breakfast. Then, shopping and some pampering massages, manicure, pedicure. She was trying to make it a good day for her mum. Today would be about her Mum. They had to have a good day so that she could let go. Because if her mum couldn't let go; there would be problems.
