The Doctor begins to stir with life, lying on the ground surrounded by tall grasses. He focuses and sits up, wondering what has happened. As soon as he sits up, he sees his TARDIS and Jespin's TARDIS sitting next to it. Suddenly, a voice calls out, "Welcome to Nevorda Pangaea father. I was just busy fishing. Look what I caught us for dinner…"

Jespin holds up a couple creatures that looks like part eel/part squid and places them next to a fire pit. Jespin looks at his father and smiles as he sits down next to him.

The Doctor looks at Jespin, still trying to shake off a feeling of sleepiness, "What happened? How…"

"The Time Lords did us a favor. They transported us out before we could be destroyed…" replies Jespin, fiddling with the fire pit.

"Us?" asks the Doctor.

"Yes. But unfortunately they all have been put back in their proper places in time and space. I'm sorry father, but you are alone now…" says Jespin, sadly. Jespin turns his head when his companions, Haley and Jered appear, carrying baskets of fruit and other things they collected in the forest.

"Where have you two been!? I had to leave you two here while I was risking my life to save the universe…" barks Jespin, peeved.

"Oh, sorry Jespin, but we couldn't stop picking all this delicious fruit and gawking at the skyline. It is fantastic…" says Jered, trying to be sympathetic.

"Gingerbread house you two! Gingerbread house! I told you lot to stay here! But I can't blame you. This place is rather irresistible!" replies Jespin, as the Doctor continues to remain quiet, trying to figure out where he was and what had happened to the others.

"This place is beautiful. Large deep blue rings, two suns, a lovely bright blue sky…" says Haley.

"Check out the 3 glowing blue moons over there. And that large gas planet over there in the upper right of the skyline and that small galaxy in the upper middle, it's beautiful. This place is all one big continent. No wonder it's got the name Pangaea in its name…" says Jered, pointing at objects in the sky. As Haley and Jered continue to admire what they are seeing, Jespin looks over at the Doctor, realizing that the Doctor is still confused.

Jespin soon pulls out a device from his left pocket and aims it towards his TARDIS, "This might clear up a few things…"

At that moment, a strange spherical object flies out of Jespin's TARDIS and flies towards the Doctor. It stops in front of him and begins projecting images.

"What is this?" asks the Doctor.

"It is a message sphere. All of your friends left you a message…" replies Jespin.

The first image the Doctor sees is the image of Rose. The images move but there is no voice. The Doctor sees Rose smiling at the screen, with Jackie, Pete and Rose's new brother Tony looking on, smiling, telling the Doctor that Rose was fine and back in her own place. The next image is of Jack, Mickey and Martha, smiling and waving at the screen. Jack salutes and Mickey waves. Reading lips, the Doctor notices Martha saying 'We're alright…' and blowing kisses to the screen before the images stop and the sphere disappears back into Jespin's TARDIS.

The Doctor soon realizes that Donna is not among the images, "Where is Donna?"

Jespin bows his head in sadness, saying nothing. Haley and Jered soon notice Jespin's silence and wonders what is going on.

A couple days later, the Doctor's TARDIS materializes in front of Donna's house. The Doctor steps out, unsure what to say to Donna's grandfather, Wulf. In the living room of Donna's house, the Doctor tells Wulf what has happened to Donna.

"What do you mean she's trapped in the heart of a nebula? What has happened to Donna? Is she alright?" asks Wulf.

"Listen to me. You must never tell her mother what has happened to her or she will spend the rest of her life wondering what has happened to her…" says the Doctor.

"But you're the Doctor. You can save Donna can't you?" ask Wulf.

"I can't. The power needed to break the time bubble would be enormous and even if I had that kind of power, I can't free her without harming her…" says the Doctor.

"But what about your people, the Time Lords? Can't they do something?"

"No, they can't, really they can't. They are still trying to heal themselves, their powers have become limited at the moment. In normal circumstances they could, but they can't right now. Really, I would free her, but I can't. My people can't. I'm sorry…" replies the Doctor.

Suddenly, Donna's mother comes into the room, "Ellan Preachard was on the phone. You wouldn't believe how long she talks. What are you doing here?"

"I was just talking to your father. I'll take my leave now…" says the Doctor as he gets up and walks towards the front door.

"Wait a minute, where's Donna?" asks Donna mum.

"She called on the phone earlier, she's having a long day but she sends her love..." says Wulf.

"I can't understand why she calls at all, always moving about in that job of hers. I'll have to put the kettle on or I won't have any tea to drink in the morning…" says Donna's mum as she leaves the room and goes to the kitchen.

Wulf follows the Doctor out the front door, "What are you going to do now?"

"I don't know. But I have not given up on Donna. I will find a way to save her. I promise, I will save her. Trust me…" replies the Doctor.

"You promised me you'd watch over her…" says Wulf.

"I am, I will. Trust me, I will find a way to bring her back…" says the Doctor as it starts to rain.

"I'll be waiting right here. Always waiting to see Donna again…" says Wulf.

"You'll see her again. I promise…" says the Doctor with a smile as he begins to turn and walk towards his TARDIS.

"Doctor – How long will I have to wait?" asks Wulf.

"Indefinitely…" replies the Doctor as he turns and walks towards his TARDIS once more, closing the TARDIS doors behind him in silence. Moments later, the TARDIS disappears, leaving Wulf to wait, unknowing if he'd ever see Donna again.
