Here is ending #1! If you can figure out the reason for the number 215, I'll love you forever. No hints though!

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who or anything affiliated with it, even though the Master is definitely waiting for me in an alternate universe somewhere. I hope our children are as demented as their father.

Ending 1:

She screamed, but it was a different kind of scream. The golden energy spread in every direction, quite destroying their living room. Everyone but the Doctor was watching with their mouths agape in amazement.

The light finally disappeared and Donna Noble stumbled back a bit. She looked the same, much to Shaun's relief. Everyone was silent. The Doctor spoke first. "Donna?"

She looked at him blankly for a second, as if she was trying to register who he was. Her face changed after a moment, and she looked like she was going to deck him in the jaw.

"You stupid, bloody... MARTIAN!"

"Donna, how many times to I have to tell you, I'm not from-"

"You couldn't have just done that in the first place?"

"I didn't even think of it until two minutes ago! Nevermind that I didn't think it would work!"

"Time Lords!" she scoffed, throwing her hands up in the air. "Wave a disappearing time machine in their faces and they can pilot a six person one by themselves, but ask for a little creativity and nope!"

"Oh shut up!" He said, hugging her. She hugged him back for quite a long time and refused to let go. "Donna..." he said, a bit sheepishly. Wilf and Shaun were looking on with visible relief.

"I said I was gonna be with you forever."

"Yes, you did."

She let go of him finally, and noticed Rory and Amy standing behind him. "I don't suppose those two are yours, Doctor?"

"I hope you aren't asking if they're my children-"

She gave him one of her classic Donna-esque glares. He had missed them.

"Ah, right. Uh, so, Donna, this is Mr. and Mrs. Pond. Amy and Rory." Donna greeted them both, then seemed to suddenly register the presence of her husband and grandfather. She hugged them both with gusto, grinning like mad. "I'm fine, see!" Wilf was also smiling like mad, but Shaun wasn't.

"What are you?" he asked, almost fearful of his own wife. This didn't make any sense.

"I'm... well I 'spose I'm part Time Lord now, aren't I spaceman?" She looked at the Doctor for confirmation.

"Technically your brain is, yes," he thought aloud. "Your brain is changed, conformed around the information that was there before you regenerated. It can handle it all now without overloading and killing you. Time Lord regenerative energy plus a spark of Time Lord DNA all mixed in with the rest of you."

"And I'm brilliant!" she sang happily.

"Yes you are!" The Doctor hugged her again. "Thing is, Donna," he said, holding her at arms length now. "I don't know what's going to happen to you from now on. I only gave you the one regeneration-"

"You have a limit, I know. I wouldn't ask for that ever again," she said firmly. "But you saved my life. Again. Thank you." She paused, her gaze turning to one of smugness. "And now, I know everything you ever thought. This should be fun!"

"Now don't you go using things against me now-"

"Can I come with you?" she asked, looking at him with both hope and determination.

"Donna Noble," he answered immediately. "What in the whole of creation is that kind of question? I mean really, what the heck is that? You insult me."

"Don't I do that anyway?"

"You do, but that's not the point-"

"Please don't go." Donna looked to Shaun, who was now standing right next to her and looking at her as if he'd never seen her before. "I don't understand any of this," he said, gesturing to the Doctor. "Who is he?"

"He's a Time Lord," she answered. "An alien, from a planet very far away."

"An alien?" he stammered, stepping back a few feet. There had been plenty of aliens in recent years, but they'd all been bad, not helpful. "But he looks human!"

"No, you look Time Lord," the Doctor said, not for the first time.

"They came first," Amy added helpfully, from behind him. The Doctor gave her a smile. Rory was still rather confused about the regeneration thing, but he was watching the exchange between Donna and Shaun closely. He remembered feeling just as Shaun did now, watching the woman he loved choose someone else. It wasn't the same thing, of course, but Shaun didn't know that.

"But I don't... Donna, are you really going with him?"

She smiled sadly at her husband, taking his hand. "I can't stay here anymore. All the things in this head of mine could change the world. There's no way I could sit around on this little planet and stay quiet."

"You could come with us!" The Doctor said encouragingly. "That'll be one crowded TARDIS," he added, half to himself.

"Two married couples though!" Donna paused, turning her gaze to him. "There are 215 rooms in the TARDIS, what do you mean crowded?"

"Crowded control room," he corrected.

"Oh that is the stupidest reason for 215 rooms anywhere that I've ever heard."

"What!" he said indignantly. "It is not! Though I'm not even sure if I like those anymore."

"It is definitely the stupidest," she affirmed.

"This is going to take some getting used to," he said aloud. "You know everything up until I wiped your mind, all ten regenerations of me."

"Yeah, and you're not doing that again, by the way," she said.

A throat was cleared. "I can't."

Donna looked to Shaun, who had just spoken. "Why not?"

"Because aliens are dangerous, Donna!" His eyes said that he was afraid, for both her and himself.

"Not this one," Wilf said, almost laughing at Shaun, as if he couldn't possibly understand why anyone would ever call the Doctor dangerous. "He saved Donna's life, you should be thanking him!"

"I'm not ungrateful, but-"

"Shaun." Donna faced him and he watched her with slight discomfort. "Before I met you, I was the Doctor's traveling companion. I've been to so many places, so many beautiful places, you couldn't even imagine it. But the Doctor had to erase my memory or I would die, and I had to leave even though that was the last thing I ever wanted to do. But I'm fixed now. I'm okay," she said with a smile. "If you'd seen everything I've seen, all the amazing planets and galaxies and aliens, you wouldn't stay here."

He shook his head angrily, "But I'm your husband!"

"That's why I want you to come with us! Just because I want to go doesn't mean I don't love you," she added indignantly. "Don't ever think that. It isn't a romantic escape, not at all. You and I can see the universe together!"

"So am I supposed to just sit here and wait for you to get back?" he asked, ignoring half of what she said.

"If you like," she said quietly. "You don't have to, but I wish you'd come with us." He shook his head. Donna nodded sadly. "I understand."

"I'd come with," Wilf piped up, "if I was about thirty years younger!" Donna laughed and they hugged goodbye. "You come back and visit now, all four of you."

"Of course, Gramps. I promise we will, I swear. Tell Mum I love her and I'll be back!" Donna hugged Shaun and gave him a proper kiss goodbye.

"I know you'll be back, sweetheart. You go out there and be amazing!" He hugged her once more, then hugged the Doctor. "You keep her safe now."

"Of course," the Doctor answered, returning his affections. "Besides, we have Amy and Rory to help me keep an eye on her!"

"What? Are we babysitters now?" Rory asked, confused and slightly annoyed.

"Of course not, does she look like a baby to you?" The Doctor asked him, and Rory couldn't tell if he was being serious or not. "Time to go now!"

"To the TARDIS!" Donna sang happily, giving her family one last hug goodbye. Shaun tried to hold onto her hand, but she let go and waved as they walked out the kitchen door.

Amy was talking excitedly to Donna about anything and everything she could think of, and Rory was following along, not saying a word. Not able to get one in edgewise, of course. Amy was becoming more alert to the similarities between herself and Donna; she would have to ask the Doctor about that later.

They walked out to the garden and Donna's face split into a grin. "There she is!" She paused. "It's brighter, you changed it."

"Type 40 TARDIS now," he answered. "New desktop theme and all."

"Oooh, interesting, let's go have a look see!"

"Hold on, Amy, Rory, you go in first." The Doctor unlocked the TARDIS's door and let them both in. "Be in in a minute."

"Fair enough, come on Rory!" She grabbed her husband's hand and they disappeared into the big blue box.

The Doctor turned to Donna, who was taking one last look at her house. "Are you sure you want to come with us?"

"Of course I do! What kind of a question is that? If you get to ask annoying questions, then I get to too, so what is up with your voice?"

He ignored the latter question. "You know what I mean. You're married now and... stuff."

"Don't worry about Shaun, he'll grow to accept it in time." She didn't want to admit the fact that she didn't want to leave him behind. She loved him, Time Lord brain or not. Even so, it was one human or the whole universe. Who could possibly choose otherwise? "Just one more question, though." He raised an eyebrow. "How did you know I was remembering everything?"

He smiled, "The lottery ticket I gave you had nanogenes all over the place. They aren't advanced enough to heal Time Lords, lacking the entire genetic code and all, but they work well for humans. They attach themselves to anything they touch, but there were just enough nanogenes for you and Wilf. They can measure anything from blood pressure to erratic brainwaves. Sent an alert to the TARDIS and she relayed the message."

"You just think you're so clever," she said with a grin, holding out her arm. "Shall we go then?"

He took it with a very Doctor-ish grin. "The DoctorDonna then, is it?"

Her grin got wider. "The DoctorDonna! Ha!"

They stepped into the TARDIS and the sound of the universe echoed behind them as the spaceship faded away.
