Writer's Note: Sorry this has been so long in the making folks. Been rushed off my feet lately but thought I should at least get it finished before the new series. Thanks for all the lovely feedback and subscriptions, it really makes this stuff worthwhile. Also interested to hear whether you'd prefer more Tenth Doc+ Donna stuff or move on to Eleventh Doc+ Amy to keep with the times. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these last few chapters, and be sure to enjoy the new series. Thanks!

Donna strode down the alleyway. She dared not look up because she could make out the calming whirr of the TARDIS at rest just ahead, and that naturally meant he was back. She came to a stop roughly a few feet in front of the Doctor and stared at his dirtied converse trainers for a few seconds, before raising her head and looking everywhere but his face.

"Came back then?" Donna said, nonchalant.

"Had to come back. Accidentally forgot my best friend." Donna looked up and gave a reassured smile.

"Fine, I'll say it, I'm sorry, I was wrong, bla bla etc etc." Donna gushed at a rapid pace.

"You were wrong. But so was I. In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone believing that Dars' mistruths is wrong."

"Why, what's up?"

"Turns out no Dars have left Tar ever. Too primitive, I should've known really."

"So...is he even a Dar?"

"That's what we need to go find out." The Doctor said, taking Donna's arm and leading her back down the alley.
