{Partners In Crime Part II}

The Doctor stood in the TARIDS examine the pendant that had gotten from Adipose Industries. "Oh, fascinating. Seem to be micro-flip digital stitch specifically for-" he said and looked around the control and noticed he was alone.

The Doctor slumped down into the captain's chair and removed his glasses. He slipped them inside his pocket and pulled out the union cloth he kept near his left heart. He gently traced Rose's name that was embedded in gold Gallifreyan letters.

"Rose." whispered the Doctor. "I'm coming for you. I promise. I just need to find a way. I'd never leave you." He gripped it hard in his hand and closed his eyes.

He propped his elbows on his knees and buried his face in his hands and his body shook with uncontrollable sobs. It had been the first time in a long time he had mourned over the lost of his wife and son. He lifted his head and took several deep breathes. He slowly stuck the union cloth inside his breast pocket. He ran his hands down his face and stood up from the chair. He knew crying wouldn't bring his family home or figuring out what was going on at Adipose Industries.

Donna quickly exited the house her mother Sylvia not too far behind. The redhead unlocked the door.

"It's my turn with the car." Sylvia told her daughter. "What do you need it for?"

"A quick get away." Donna told her and speed away.

The Doctor sat ducked under Miss Foster's office window on a window washer's lift, when saw Miss Foster enter the room with her guards and young woman. He dug through his pocket and pulled out his stethoscope he put the earpieces into his ears, and he pressed the round piece against the window.

"You can't do this. This is ridiculous." said Penny.

"I said sit there." said Miss Foster, and the guards tied her up to the chair.

"I'm phoning my editor."

"I said, sit there." said Miss Foster.

"Untie me. What type of country do you think this is?" asked Penny, who was struggling against the ropes.

"A beautifully fat country. And believe, I've traveled a long way to find a obesity on this scale."

"So come on Miss Foster, those pills. What are they?" asked Penny.

Meanwhile Donna quietly crept through the secretary's office until she reached Miss Foster's office. She pressed her ear against the door to listen in on the conversation.

"Well, you might as well have the scoop since you'll never see it printed. This is the spark of life." said Miss Foster holding up a tiny capsule.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" asked Penny.

"Officially the capsule is suppose to capture all the fat cells and flushes them away. Well, it currently attracts them. That part's true. But it binds the fat together and galvanizes it to form a body."

"What do you mean a body?" asked Penny.

"I'm surprised you didn't ask about my name. I chose it well. Foster. As in foster mother," and she pulled out a small little fatty creature from her inside her dresser drawer.

"You're kidding me, what the hell is that?" asked the reporter.

The Doctor and Donna slowly lifted their heads from the hiding spots and looked into the window into the office. They both saw the fatty creature.

"Adipose. An adipose made out of living fat." said Miss Foster.

"But I don't understand." said Penny.

"From ordinary human people." said Miss Foster.

The Doctor turned his head and saw Donna standing across the room behind a door. "Donna?" He mouthed.

"Doctor? Doctor!" mouthed Donna surprised to the see the man she was looking for.

"But what? What? What?"

"Oh my god!"

"But how?" he mouthed to the redhead.

"It's me!" She mouth pointing to herself.

"Yes, I can see that." mouthed the Time Lord.

"Oh, this is brilliant."

"What the hell are you doing there?" he mouthed.

"I was looking for you." she motioned to her eyes then to him.

"What for?"

"I read on the internet. Weird. Crept along. Heard them talking. Hid. You." mouthed Donna trying to do hand motioned to help him understand what she was saying.

Then the couple realizes that Miss Foster noticed her and the Doctor.

"Are we interrupting you?" asked Miss Foster.

"Run!" mouthed the Doctor.

Miss Foster said, "Get her," and the Doctor zapped the door with his sonic screwdriver locking it for Donna to get away. "And him."

The Doctor pointed the sonic screwdriver up and the cradle went back up to the roof. While Donna ran up the stairs.

{}

The Doctor and Donna ran into each other on the stairwell. He quickly pulled the redhead into a quick hug. She pulled back from the embrace.

"Oh my God. I don't believe it. You even got the same suit! Don't you ever change?"

"Yea, thanks, Donna. Not right now." said the Doctor, and he saw the guards a few stairs below them. "Just like old times!" He grabbed her hand, and they ran up the stairs to the roof.

He listened to Donna ramble on about her trying to find him. He had to admit it was brilliant on her part. It was the best way to find him.

The Doctor reached the cradle he had just left not to long ago. He quickly sonic it to control it. Donna got into it reclunctally. He told the redhead that only he could control it unless Miss Foster had a sonic device of her own which was highly unlikely. He sonic their way down away from the roof.

Miss Foster entered the roof after sonic the roof door open with own sonic pen. She stepped over to the edge of the roof and saw the couple getting away.

"Oh, I don't think so," and she sonic the wires to lower themselves faster.

The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver and stopped the cradle from plumping down to their deaths. He and Donna tried to smash their way into the building, but Foster had dead locked the building.

"Doctor the cable!" said Donna when she noticed it was burning and it broke sending her out of the cradle.

"Donna!" called the Doctor.

"Doctor!" she yelled holding onto the broken cable.

"Hold on!"

"I am!"

The Time Lord tried to unlock the window again but it didn't work. He pointed the screwdriver at Foster causing her to loose her sonic pen. He quickly caught it, surprising himself he hadn't missed it. He stuck the pen between his teeth and he climbed through another window.

"I'll only be a minute!" He called before he slipped through the window falling onto the floor. He stood up and straightened his jacket. "That could have been done better. Good thing Rose hadn't seen that. She'd never let me forget that one," and he ran to Foster's office.

{}

The Doctor ignored Penny worried about getting Donna to safety. He quickly unlocked the window with the sonic pen. He tried to grab her kicking feet.

"Get off!" yelled Donna.

"I've got you. I've got you. Quick kicking." said the Doctor, and he pulled the redhead inside the office.

"I was right. It's always like this with you, innit?" said Donna.

"Oh yes, and off we go!" said the Doctor and they ran out the door.

"Oi! What about me?" called Penny.

The Doctor pointed his sonic screwdriver at the wires. "Do yourself a favor and get out. Make up the article," and the Doctor ran from the office.

{}

Donna and the Doctor ran into Miss Foster and her guards in call centre. They stood in front of each other.

"Well, then. At last." said Miss Foster.

"Hello." said Donna.

"Nice to meet you, I'm the Doctor."

"And I'm Donna."

""Partners in crime. And off-worlders, by your sonic technology." said Foster.

"Oh, yes. I still have your sonic pen," and he pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. "Nice. I like it. Sleek. It's kind of sleek."

Donna looked at it and said, "Oh, yes, defiantly sleek."

"Yea, and if you were to sign your real name, that would be?" asked the Doctor.

"Matron Cofelia of Five Straighten Classabindi Nursery Fleet. Intergalactic Class." said Foster.

"A wet nurse." said the Doctor, "using humans a surrogates."

Miss Foster went on and told them about her being hired by the Adipose First family to breed a new generation because their planet was lost by politics.

"Seeding a level five planet is against galactic law." said the Doctor.

"Are you threatening me Doctor?" she asked him.

"I'm trying to help you, Matron. This is your one chance, because if you don't call this off, I'm going to have to stop you."

"I hardly think you can stop bullets." said Miss Foster and the guards raised their guns at the couple.

"No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. One minute, before dying. Do you know what would happen if you hold two identical sonic devices against each other?" said the Doctor.

"No." said Matron.

"Nor me, let's find out." said the Doctor and held the pen and screwdriver against each other and it made a terrible screeching sound that made the windows bust and everyone but the Doctor cover their ears.

Donna pushed the Doctor, "Come on!" and they ran out of the call centre.

"I'm advancing the birth plan. We're going into premature labor," said Foster and they left for her office.

{}

The Doctor and Donna ran down the hall and stopped at the cupboard and he began to throw items out into the hall. He pulled open panel revealing the mainframe. He told her that he had been trying to hack into the computer all day, but with the sonic pen he could get into the mainframe. He yanked several wires and held them together and stunned the guards that had been chasing them.

"Now, she wired up the tower block why? What's it all for?" he asked.

"Inducer online." said the computer and the machine turned on glowing green.

The Doctor put on his glasses, and he looked at the machine.

"You look older." said Donna.

"Thanks."

"Still on your own?" asked the redhead.

"Yep, well, no. I had a friend name Martha. Martha Jones. Brilliant and I destroyed half her life. She's good. She's with her family."

"What about Rose?" asked Donna gently.

The Doctor looked away from the machine. He took in deep breath, "Still lost. I thought you were going to travel the world?" He turn back to the machine.

"Easier said then done. I must have been mad to turn down that offer."

"What offer?" asked the Doctor.

"To come with you." said Donna.

"Come with me?"

Donna smiled, "Oh, yes, please."

"Right." said the Doctor.

"Inducer active." said the computer.

"What's it doing now?" asked Donna.

"She's started the program." said the Doctor.

{}

"Mark the date Miss Carter. Happy birthday. One million birthdays." said Miss Foster to Penny, who had gotten recaptured. "Come to me children."

Meanwhile everywhere people's fat was shifting and forming into tiny bodies. The adipose left houses, restaurants, cars and made their way down the street. Sylvia sat at a restaurant with her friend Suzette's body shift and fat leaving her body.

{}

The Doctor told Donna that they were just loosing fat. He pulled out a capsule and pulled it apart and attached it to the machine to stop the fat from forming. Then Matron pushed up the program. He ran his fingers through his hair making it stick up even more. He told himself that they were going to die.

"What do you need Doctor?" asked Donna.

"I need another capsule. They're all going to die!" yelled the Doctor.

Donna pulled out a pendant from her pocket. He smiled and took the gold pendant from the redhead. He quickly attached it to the machine and shut it down.

Donna looked up when there was noise, and the Doctor told her it was spaceship, just then the machine turned on sending a message from the Adipose first family. They ran from the cupboard to the roof to help the Matron once they learned that she was in trouble and not planet Earth.

{}

The Doctor and Donna reached the roof just as the small children made out of fat was being lifted up into the nursery ship, and Foster was floating in the beam below the ship.

"What are you going to do, blow them up?" asked Donna looking at them.

"They're just children. They can't help were they come from." said the Doctor.

"Well, that makes a difference then last time. That Martha must have done you some good."

"Yea, she did. She turned out to be a good friend." said the Doctor.

"Good, I'm glad she helped you, but I know you need Rose." said Donna. "I'm waving at fat." She said waving her hand.

He looked over at Donna. "Yes, I do need Rose. I need Lupus too." He turned back to the Adipose, "Actually, the diet plan, it sort of works. There she is." said the Doctor as she stopped just at the roof. "Matron Cofelia listen to me."

The Doctor told her about the first family's instructions. They knew it was against the law to breed on Earth, and what the need to get rid of was their accomplice. Now that mom and dad had the kids they didn't need the nanny anymore, and beam turned off and the blonde headed woman fell from the sky.

Donna buried her face into the Doctor's shoulder. He wrapped his arm around the redhead. She pulled back and watched the spaceship fly away.

{}

The Doctor and Donna stepped out onto the street. He pulled out Foster's sonic pen and threw it away into the bin. And Penny walked up to the couple tied to the chair telling them that she'd report them for madness.

"You see some people just can't take it." said Donna.

"No." said the Doctor.

"And some people can. So, then TARDIS! Come on!" said Donna and took the Doctor's hand yanking him along behind her.

Donna and the Doctor walked through the alleyway. She noticed that the TARDIS was parked behind her blue car. She beamed telling him it was like destiny. She popped her trunk and began to pull out bags and boxes and throwing them into his arms telling him that saw ready for everything. He carried the bags with some difficulty to the TARDIS.

"Oh, I almost forgot I need to leave Mum the car keys." said Donna and quickly called her and told her that they would be in a bin around corner.

Donna walked up to a blonde woman, who wore TARIDS blue leather jacket. "Listen, there's a woman coming along, a tall woman called Sylvia, just tell her that bin there."

She turned around and faced Donna. She quietly pulled out a box from her small jacket. She removed diamond rose necklace from her neck.

"Tell him, Little Wolf loves his daddy." she said holding out the box.

Donna took the box from the woman. She opened her mouth to say who was it from, but Rose Tyler vanished from sight. She quickly ran back to the TARIDS with the box and necklace in her hands. She figured the Doctor would know what it meant.

The Doctor smiled when Donna ran through the TARDIS door. "So where off to then?" he asked.

"Oh, I know the perfect place." said Donna.

"Where to?" he asked.

"Two mile that way." said Donna motioning with her head. "Oh, can we land too."

Doctor smiled and ran around the console pulling leavers and pressing buttons. Donna looked down at the box in her hands. She could tell it was somewhat getting heavy. She wondered what was inside it.
