The Doctor sprung into action immediately.

"Right, so where did you last see your mom then Sophie?" He asked, as he flew around the consol, flicking and hitting various buttons and knobs at an amazing speed.

"Urm.." Sophie was mesmerised from her perch on the jumpseat, she couldn't stop watching him as he danced around his machine. "Last Thursday"

"Right and what was she doing last Thursday?" He stopped and turned to her, watching her intently.

Sophie looked up at him from under her auburn fringe. "She was visiting my grandmothers grave"

The Doctor looked shocked, "Sylvia…?"

"Yeah that was her name. She died right after you left the last time. She couldn't handle it. She hated lying to Donna and she was on edge constantly, scared someone would mention something about you, about the travelling. It was stress that caused it eventually," Sophie sighed, "I never even knew her."

"I'm sorry, "The Doctor said quietly.

"Yeah" Sophie looked away, "That was sixteen years ago now"

"You're sixteen?" The Doctor questioned.

"Yup"

"Right"

The Doctor turned back to the consol.

"Right we are going to visit the last place Donna was"

"The cemetery?" Sophie looked up.

"There has to be something there that gives us a clue as to where Donna might be now," The Doctor said, as he flicked numerous switches.

"Right, Cheswick here we come. It's been a long time since I have been here," He said sadly.

"We are going to find her aren't we?" Sophie went to stand next to him.

"Of course we are. Allonze!" He grinned manically.


Donna Noble. Best temp in Cheswick. Yeah right. She couldn't even hold down a proper job. Temp. As in TEMPORARY. The only thing in her life that she had ever had that wasn't temporary was her daughter. Sophie. Her very own little miracle. She had no idea with whom or when she was conceived. She supposed it was just another of them drunken nights out with her mates. Her beautiful daughter. She had nothing else. A life of dead-end jobs, no man, no stability. Just like floating through space. All this was running through her mind, as she finally gained enough consciousness to be aware of where she was. Speaking of which, where the heck was she?

She opened her eyes fully, sat up and looked around.

"What the hell am I doing here?" She wondered to herself.

She was in a room. A small, square room. No windows. One blue door on one side of the wall. It was like a prison cell. Not that she had ever been in a prison cell. Well there was this one time…

No! This wasn't the time for nostalgia. She had to get out of here and find her daughter. What if she had been taken and put into a prison cell too?

So Donna Noble did what she does best.

"WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE GET ME OUT OR I WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO CRY ABOUT. OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!!!!!!" She yelled at the top of her voice, banging her fists against the blue door.


Just as the TARDIS was about to land, the Doctor was about to put down the clutch on his fabulous time machine, when a small hand got there before him. Sophie reached over, quick as lightning and slammed down the clutch.

She suddenly seemed to snap out of her sudden actions and looked completely shocked with herself. She withdrew her hand away from the consol quickly, as if she had burned it.

"What was that?" asked the Doctor.

"I… ermm…" She spluttered.

"How did you know how to do that, what to do? Nobody else in the universe knows how to fly the TARDIS. Except maybe Jack. A little bit. Oh and I taught you mother one time. No wait, what! I never even taught THEM how to put the clutch down. What?"

Sophie just stood there, staring at her hand as if it had offended her. Then she shivered and looked up at the Doctor with a manic grin.

"Are we there then?" She asked.

"Um… yeah, I erm.. guess," The Doctor was completely flummoxed as the teenager bounded over to the TARDIS door and threw them open.

"Wow, we actually did it. We travelled in time!" She looked out at the graveyard in awe.
