Chugging right along... These first couple are really short. Oops.

Chapter 1:
"Donna? Who's Donna?" Rory's voice betrayed his confusion.
"Donna is... Donna. My best friend, my best... But what could have woken her up?" The Doctor was pacing again and it was beginning to irritate Amy.
"Best friend?" Rory questioned, eyebrow raised. "She traveled with you too, then?"
"Yes, yes she did, she... Something happened and I had to erase her memory, or she would die. Human-Time Lord metacrisis, but I couldn't just let her die, I didn't want her to die..." Rory and Amy were watching him with interested, but concerned looks. "And now something's made her remember."
"Well you gotta go save her, c'mon, let's go!" Amy grabbed his arm encouragingly, but he took it back immediately.
"I can't, Amy. I can't save her, no one can."
If she remembers, her mind will burn and she will die.
"Well you've gotta try!" she said.
"Or at least be there for her when she dies," Rory added.
The Doctor looked from one companion to the other, then paced a bit more. What could he possibly do for her? He had given her what he could, considering the circumstances and he had missed her since the moment she had gone. Donna, the one who always yelled and who had healed him so much. The one who had given him a reason to be happy, to no longer be alone after Martha had gone. His best friend... He stopped in his tracks, then looked to Amy and Rory, with their concerned but hopeful faces.
"Yes, alright, you both have a point, let's go."
