Title: Remember Me?
Rating: T
Pairings: 10/Rose
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who
Full Summary: As the Doctor investigates some strange alien sightings in 2004, Donna gets a job at Henricks to distract her from causing a paradox. There, she befriends a very familiar blond, who tells her about her dreams to travel among the stars one day. Donna, unable to keep it in any longer, tells her that soon enough she'll be fulfilling that dream. And the Doctor, after meeting with Rose, can't contain the truth. What comes next for our favourite time travellers is a frenzy of misunderstandings, a few terrible dates and a shocking revelation.

Author's note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Usually I like to update as often as I can, but this time I've decided to relish in the creative stage of writing a story.

Donna brushed through her long, fiery hair and glanced down at her watch. She had finished work a few hours earlier, and she had agreed to meet Rose at half seven at Piccadilly Circus.

"DOCTOR!" She hollered, poking her head around her door and staring down the vast corridor.

"'KAY!" She heard him reply. She chuckled to herself. He had seem to be quite distant in the shop earlier, especially after meeting Rose. I wonder if her fancies her? Donna thought, as she secured her hair into a loose ponytail and fastened a silver necklace around her slender neck. I wouldn't be surprised. She is quite beautiful, even with tacky peroxide hair and baggy clothes. I'll have to ask, she decided, grabbed a map of the TARDIS interior (she still didn't know her way around!) and made her way to the console room. The Doctor grinned at her as she strolled in. "You ready?"

"Yeah. Aren't you gonna change at all?"

"Why?"

"Why not?" Donna retorted, arching an eyebrow at him.

"Well, going to Piccadilly Circus isn't exactly a bow-tie occasion, is it?" He remarked, as his hands danced around the buttons and spinning wheels. Donna rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, but it's Rose. You know....Rose."

"Yeah, I know her. And?"

"Well, I thought you might want to make a bit of an effort, that's all. Seeing as she is my friend and all. And she's quite attractive," Donna pointed out, as the Doctor tugged on his ear and considered this.

"Really? I hadn't noticed," He replied, causing Donna to smirk.

"Don't be stupid, Doctor. I have eyes; I saw the way you looked at her!" She scoffed, as the Doctor felt a blush creep to his features. "Oh, don't worry though. She seemed to like you too, if I remember correctly. Don't know why, mind you." The Doctor turned to look at Donna and pulled a face. "What? God, I'm only jokin'. Don't be so sensitive," Donna chided. "Are we there yet?"

"Yes, London, 2004. We're here." Donna bounded down the ramp and opened the door quickly. The Doctor hesitated.

"You comin'?"

"Yeah, yeah," The Doctor muttered, as he grabbed his brown coat and followed her. They had landed down a dark alleyway, and Donna shivered. "Do you want a coat?" The Doctor offered, as he reached into a vast coat pocket and pulled out the TARDIS key. Donna shook her head as the Doctor sighed. "Fine. Don't blame me if you get pneumonia." They soon found themselves in the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus, where the hoards of people were bustling about. Clubs, restaurants and various shops were full to the brim of Friday night customers, with music pounding from every corner of the busy area. "We've got to remember, though, Donna," The Doctor told her, "We can't keep our eye off the real reason why we're here. The strange lights in the sky, remember?"

"Yeah, I do! But I just want to have fun tonight. What if I run into myself?" Donna asked, shuddereing at the thought, "That would just be too odd."

"Imagine how I feel now, then," The Doctor mumbled, as Donna slapped him around his arm.

"Shut up!"

"Do you two ever get along?" A voice came from behind them. They both span on their heels to be greeted by a beaming Rose Tyler.

"Rose, hello!" Donna chirped, pulling her new friend into a hug, "I see you've managed to dry your hair." After Donna had confronted her boss about the sprinkler attack that they had experienced at work today, the Doctor had had a snoop about to see if it had anything to do with the lights in the sky. His idea had lead to nothing, so him and Donna left Rose to help mop up the shop and agreed to meet her that night.

"Yeah. Took me a while though, as my mum was in the shower for ages, singing to herself, as usual," Rose smiled, as did the Doctor. That was something that he could definitely imagine Jackie Tyler doing. His mind switched to the thought of Jackie naked, so he soon blinked hurriedly and bit his lip. "You alright?" Rose asked, noticing his odd facial expression.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine," The Doctor replied.

"You're looking nice," Donna remarked, admiring Rose. She has slung on some hipster jeans, a plain white vest top and wore a grey cardigan. Her hair was now straightened and draped halfway down her back. As always, her eyes were outlined by sweep after sweep of mascara and heavily applied eyeliner. Rose blushed and pulled self-consciously on her cardigan. "I especially like the jumper."

"Do you? I bought it earlier on today; I'm not sure about it though," They soon launched into a conversation about clothes, and shoes and hair, so the Doctor drifted off into his own little world. He knew what he was doing was wrong. Being here, with Rose, his Rose, was breaking the laws of time and space. It was ironic in a way; the Doctor had told Donna not go causing any paradoxes, and yet here he was, with Rose, who was supposed to be trapped in her universe. It was just plain and simply wrong. Yet...he couldn't tear his eyes off her. He hadn't seen that smile in almost two years, and until he had finally talked to her earlier on today, he hadn't realised how much he had actually missed her. She was still as uniquely beautiful as she had been when he had last seen her. Her face, her hair, the way she walked, all echoed back to the days when they had first met. When she had felt unsure of herself and restless. She wasn't as confident as the Rose Tyler he had known. Not yet, anyway.

"Don't you think, Doctor?" Donna interrupted his thoughts, as his head snapped back to look at her.

"What was that, sorry?"

"That restaurant looks nice," She pointed in the direction of a quiet cafe which didn't look too busy.

"Yeah, if you want too." Donna pushed her arm through his and grinned at him.

At the cafe, they sat down at a small table at the window, looking out on the pedestrians of Piccadilly. Rose sat on the window seat and gazed out of the vast area of glass. She felt like a third wheel, but she wasn't even sure if they were a couple. They were obviously very comfortable with each other, if Donna was buying him underwear earlier. Donna and the Doctor sat opposite her and grabbed a menu.

"I'm starvin', aren't you?" Donna asked, whipping open a menu and taking in the delicious things they had on offer.

"Hold, on, will you excuse me, I need the loo," The Doctor muttered, standing up and strolling in the direction of the toilets. Donna pushed the menu towards Rose and beamed at her.

"What do you want?"

"I dunno. It looks a bit...expensive," Rose said, blushing. She didn't really want to tell Donna that she was having money problems, but Donna just waved her hand dismissively. "I'll just had a salad, or something-"

"Don't be silly! It's on me, remember?"

"No, Donna, really, I couldn't-"

"If you don't, I'll never talk to you again," Donna warned.

"Fine," Rose sighed, feeling guilty but grateful at the same time. "So, you and John. Are you......?"

"Are we what?"

"You know...."

"Uh, no, I don't know."

"Well, kinda....together?" Donna raised a hand to her mouth and gagged. "I'll take that as a no, then," Rose chuckled.

"Take that as a no way!" Donna grinned as the Doctor returned to the table. She tried to suppress her giggles as she thought about her being with the Doctor. She soon began to realise that it wasn't giggles she was trying to keep spurting out.

"Right!" The Doctor beamed, shrugging off his jacket and picking up the menu once more, "What are we having?"
