A/N I don't have much to say (for a change), so here we go. Oh, wait, merry Christmas!

No Dad, no Donna.
Jenny woke up knowing they would be gone, but she didn't let that upset her. She'd see them again. Or maybe not. She didn't need her father to hold her hand, anyway. She had the whole wide universe to explore and she just couldn't wait.
Jenny liked the spaceship she stole. It was big, it was powerful and it had nearly a whole tank of fuel. So it was a great shame that she crashed it into a planet that hadn't been there when she looked two seconds ago. Maybe she'd gone a bit too fast. Ah, well.
She emerged from the wreck a bit shaken up but none the worse for wear. That looked like it was about to change. In front of her were some extremely grumpy looking creatures. The human part of her said they looked...like shrimp. Was that it? Yes, ugly little sea creatures. Shrimp people.
Cool.
She didn't speak their language and they didn't speak hers, so they ended up making a lot if hand gestures. Or she did, anyway. They waved their...claws.
"My. Ship. Has. Crashed."
Jenny pointed at the ship and then made a swooping motion with her hand. Then she clapped her hands together to make a crashing sound.
The shrimp people seemed to have a private discussion. Their language compromised of weird clacking and the odd shriek.
"I'll just have some new parts and a mechanic and then I'll be off!" Jenny said brightly. "On second thoughts, you don't have a ship I could...er...borrow...do you?"
The one at the front clacked at her and beckoned for her to go forward.
The parts for the doomed ship came at a price. The price was having to work for a day for the boss back in Shrimp City. The boss just happened to be a cruel dictator who thought murdering his own people was fun.
And shazam, Jenny had a civilisation to save.
