Donna had had enough, "I demand you take me home!"

The Doctor climbed out from under the Tardis console, "What's wrong Donna?"

She put her hands on her hips and glared at him, "You are whats up Doctor!"

Doctor shook his head, "Can't change who I am Donna, you knew who I was when you came on board"

"That's not what I meant and you know it"

The Doctor sighed and took a seat on the jumpseat and Donna kneeled before him taking his hand into her own, "You can't hide in here forever Doctor, it's not healthy"

"Donna…"

"Don't tell me to shut up Doctor because I won't. I'm worried about you, since Melanista you've been so quiet, you seem to spend most of your time fiddling with circuits which don't need fixing"

"Just checking everything's working"

"Doctor, I know avoidance when I see it"

"I don't need a counselor Donna, I just need to keep busy"

"Can we at least go out for the day somewhere; I need to get out of here before I go mad"

The Doctor frowned, "I suppose your right, where do you want to go?"

"Cardiff"

The Doctor shook his head, "I don't think so"

"In that case Doctor you can take me home"

"Donna I can't face him not after what he said that day"

The Doctor flinched as he recalled the words Jack had shouted at him.

"It's okay, you don't have to see him, but I need to see him to make sure he's okay"

The Doctor sighed in defeat, "If you insist Donna, but you go on your own I don't want Jack near me at the moment"

Donna smiled and hugged the Doctor, "Thank you Doctor"
