"Run!" The Doctor yelled as he saw the Cybermen closing in on them on all sides, he knew they couldn't outrun them but he was sure he had parked the TARDIS somewhere near here.
"Run where!?" Came Donnas' snarky reply, all they had been doing that day was running and she was tired and really needed a drink.
"This way, come on!" The Doctor replied, grabbing his friend's hand and pulling her along in his wake.
Donna followed the Doctor, making sure to have his skinny trench coated figure in her line of sight at all times. Finally the Doctor saw a ladder leading up to the roof of the building, he looked behind them to see that the Cybermen were close behind. A little too close for comfort. The clang of metal on metal sending shivers up their spines. He skidded to a stop and Donna – who was panting madly – crashed into him, almost sending them toppling to the ground.
"Remember Doctor…give me warning when you are going to stop!" Donna said feeling a little frustrated.
"Yes, yes because you can't read my mind." The Doctor opened the door in the ceiling with the sonic and said, "Anyway, up you go." He indicated to the ladder.
"Doctor, what?"
"Up!" He pointed again and thankfully she began to climb and soon enough they both were standing on the roof of the building, with the Doctor sonicing the door locked.
Both friends turned to each other, each with wide grins on their faces; the TARDIS stood proud in front of them. They were about to walkover to it when Donna asked, "You don't happen to have a water bottle on you, do you?" She asked through sharp pants, he smile not faltering though as she turned to her skinny friend.
"Yeah, I think so…one sec." The Doctor replied as he began to pat the pockets of his long brown coat before his face lit up and he pulled out a bottle of water. He handed it to the shocked looking Donna, a proud look on his face.
"Err…that was in your pocket but thank you! How does that even fit in your pocket? "
"They're bigger on the inside." He replied as if it was perfectly normal, "The water is fine, drink it!" The Doctor grinned.
Donna took a long swig and nearly spat it out again in shock. Looking incredulously at the Doctor she said, "It's cold! Doctor, the water's ice cold!"
"Really?" He frowned, "Oh yeah, I kept it in the fridge pocket. Rather handy for keeping water cold in hot weather."
"Your pocket is a fridge?" Donna gaped as she followed the Doctor into the TARDIS.
"Full of surprises aren't I?" The Doctor winked.
"Next you'll be telling me that you have a pocket that's an oven!" Donna laughed
"Course not Donna! That would only set the coat on fire, how stupid do you think I am?" The Doctor said in a serious tone but the wide grin on his face gave the joke away.
Donna rolled her eyes as the Doctor released the handbrake on the console and the TARDIS jerked into the time vortex and they traveled off to another time and another adventure.
