"Oi! Spaceman!" Donna strode into the console room of the TARDIS looking for her best friend. "Spaceman?" He was nowhere to be found. "Typical. I tell him I want to go somewhere a little less adventurous and he flees…", she shouts at the TARDIS, only receiving a friendly hum in return. After checking the library, the kitchen and the Doctor's wardrobe room, Donna sighs and heads for her bedroom. She opens the door and finds a teal and white striped box lying on top of her purple duvet. She gently lifts the top off the box and finds a cobalt blue dress inside with a note attached.

"Earthgirl,

Put this on and meet me in the console room in an hour. I'm taking you out for a night you'll never forget.

Allons-y,

Spaceman"

She reads the note over four times before she can comprehend what it says. Somewhere during the second reading her jaw drops open and her heart starts pounding. Snapping her jaw shut and throwing the note on the bed, Donna starts pacing the length of the room mumbling quietly to herself. "Should I go? We've never done anything like this before! Will things change? Is this an official date? Ugh! Get a hold of yourself, girl. He's just a streak of long alien nothing. He's definitely not boyfriend material…" She makes her way into the bathroom, shuts the door behind her and turns on the shower. "He's so skinny and has two hearts and God only knows if he's doubled up on anything else!" Stepping out of her clothes, she looks at her reflection in the mirror and leans her elbows on the counter top, cradling her head in her hands, still struggling to make a decision. "But, the way his coat moves in the breeze when he runs and how his tongue creeps out the corner of his mouth when he is concentrating on something! He is undeniably attractive…" She steps into the shower and cries, "Goodness, Donna! Just get dressed and go! What's the worst that could happen?! It'll be fine. He has made the first move for Heaven's sake!"

An hour later, the Doctor is tinkering away with something on the TARDIS console when he sees Donna out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey Spaceman." She is standing in front of him in the vivid blue gown that he left for her. It gathers under her voluptuous bosom and flows elegantly to the floor. She has blown out her fiery mane so that it now lies around her shoulders in seductively loose waves. Her earrings sparkle as she self-consciously pushes back her hair. "Do I look alright?"

The Doctor gulps and straightens out his black suit jacket, which is a change from his usual pinstripes. He is so taken aback by how beautifully Donna's eyes twinkle in the light that he can't seem to answer her properly. "I..uh..You look absolutely fantastic! Allons-y!" He manages to pull himself together and offers Donna his arm. With that, the pair steps out the door of the TARDIS.
