Daisy's jaw dropped. "John Hart? They have you too? You're the one who's supposed to help `prepare' me for `what's to come`?"
John appraised Daisy, grinning lecherously. "Looking nice and perky there, Daisy." Daisy glared at him in response. "Ok, so you're not in the mood," he said, holding his hands up. "What's this about preparing you?"
"I don't know. Ask the loonies."
The group of Moon-People remained emotionless as John turned to them for an answer. "You are to prepare her for part of what is to come. That is why we had you eliminate the one called Grey. He would have gotten in the way of what is to come. He would have upset the balance. You will both be prepared for the bonding ceremony, and then you will bonded for life."
"Hold on! I'm not getting married!" both protested.
"There is no choice in the matter. You will be wed as the Great Goddess specifies. As High Priestess, it is my duty to see it done. My priests will restrain you, if necessary. Priestesses, prepare the woman. Priests, prepare the man. I will be ready once they are prepared."
Daisy and John were dragged into separate rooms, despite all protests. Sometime later, both were brought back into the room. John had been redressed in very smart clothes. He looked extremely uncomfortable. Daisy had been stuffed into a silvery white dress that showed too much of her chest, or at least by her opinion. John, however was gob smacked, jaw hanging open. Daisy's first reaction to his state was to smack him on the face before anyone could stop her. "Don't stare!"
John quickly got over the smack. He glared at the high priestess. "Are we going to be expected to make a baby too?" she then replied that it wouldn't be necessary. John and Daisy both frowned.
"She is already with child." Daisy protested that it wasn't true while John lost all color in his face. "You will eventually see." When Daisy pulled John away to talk, the high priestess held out her hand to stop her people from bringing them back. "We will allow them five minutes. After that, the ceremony must begin."
"We're going to do this just so we can leave. They think I'm pregnant and their minds aren't going to change," Daisy said. "Once we leave here, I won't be your wife and you won't be my husband. Got it?"
"Got it," John said. However, throughout the ceremony, he couldn't stop studying Daisy's stomach for changes. She glared at him every time she caught him staring. He'd snap back to attention, but it wouldn't be long before he'd go back to looking at her stomach.
"You are now wed for all eternity," the high priestess finally said.
Daisy and John both looked at her in surprise. "What?!
"Your marriage is permanent. There can be no divorce. Beyond that, you may manage your marriage as you wish. Kiss your bride, John Hart."
Hesitating, the two finally kissed.
"It's my wedding dress. The Moon-People made me get married," Daisy said reluctantly when she'd been returned to the Doctor and Donna.
"Married to who?" Donna asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." She looked to the Doctor. "Can we leave here now?" Without a word, the Doctor nodded his head.
