It was supposed to be a nice trip to Victorian England. They would dress up, go sightseeing, and save the world.
Instead, they were running around London from the Queen, trying to find 13 Paternoster Row, where the Doctor's friends resided. The group of misfits whose help they were hoping for were Silurian Madame Vastra, her wife Jenny Flint; and their Sontaran Butler, Commander Strax.
Donna didn't exactly know what the Doctor did this time to infuriate the British Royal, but whatever it was, it was pretty bad.
"Stop them!" came shouts from behind the time travelers, and they picked up their pace.
"In here," someone grabbed the Doctor's hand and pulled him into an alley, but not before he grabbed Donna and dragged her along.
"Who are you?" the Doctor asked, pulling his arm free of the stranger's grip.
"Clara," the person, now revealed to be a woman, introduced herself. "Clara Oswin Oswald."
"Thank you, Clara!" the Doctor cried. "Wait. . . where are you going?"
Clara turned around. She was walking away, moving toward the big street. She smirked.
"An appointment, clever boy," she purred. "Run. . . and remember. . ."
She was gone.
"Donna," the Doctor asked. "What just happened?"
"She just saved us," Donna breathed. "Like River. . . in the Library."
"I wonder when I'll meet her," the Doctor said thoughtfully to himself, as if Donna wasn't there.
Donna tried to ignore the biting pain at his words, 'I'll meet her', as if she wasn't even there. And in a way, wherever the Doctor was right now, she wasn't there.
