Two chapters within six months? Wow, I'm on a roll! :D Oh, and I don't own Doctor Who. Darn.

"That's what made it so easy." Lance said hardly. "It's like you said, Doctor. The big picture. What's the point of it all if the Human Race is nothing? That's what the Empress can give me. The change to... Go out there. To see it. The size of it all. I think you understand that, don't you, Doctor?"

"Who is this little physician? The Empress hissed.

"What she said… Martian." Lance told her.

"Oh, I'm sort of…harmless." The Doctor said. "But the point is, what's down here?" He asked, indicating the hole. "The Racnoss are extinct. What's gonna help you four thousand miles down? That's just the molten core of the Earth, isn't it?"

"I think he wants us to talk." Lance sneered.

"I think so too." Hissed the Empress.

"Well, tough!" Lance pronounced. "All we need is Donna!"

"Kill this chattering little doctor-man!" the Empress ordered the robots along the walls.

"Don't you hurt him!" Rose cried, stepping in front of the Doctor.

"No, no, it's alright." The Doctor said, trying to draw Rose back.

"No, I won't let them!" Rose persisted.

"At arms!" The Empress ordered and the robots pointed their guns at the Doctor.

"Ah. Now. Except." The Doctor said, holding up his hands.

"Take aim!" The Empress ignored him.

"Well, I just want to point out the obvious.." The Doctor persisted, but the Empress talked right over him.

"They won't hit the bride. They're such very good shots."

"Just…just…just hold on, just a tick. Just a tiny little tick." The Doctor babbled, holding up his hands again. Rose was still trying to pull him back. "If you think about it, the particles activated in Donna and drew her inside my spaceship. So, reverse it… the spaceship comes to her." Here, The Doctor once again pulled out the tube of Huon particles and turned the knob on the top of the test tube, making the particles inside the tube, Donna and Rose to glow.

"Fire!" The Empress ordered as the familiar sound of the TARDIS began to sound. The robots fired, but just a moment too late. Their shots hit the outside of the TARDIS which had materialized around the trio. Inside, The Doctor darted to the console.

"Off we go!" He said, with his maniac grin on his face. Rose laughed at him, then ran to join him at the controls, holding on as the TARDIS shook. But as the TARDIS dematerialized, outside the Empress was incensed.

"My key!" she hissed angrily. "My key!"

"Oh, you know what I said before about time machines?" The Doctor asked Donna as she too joined them at the controls. "Well, I lied. And now we're going to use it. We need to find out what the Empress of the Racnoss is digging up. If something's buried at the planet ore, it must have been there since the beginning. That's just brilliant!" He exclaimed. "Molto buene! I've always wanted to see this. Rose, we're going further back than I've ever been before!"

"Sure beats the destruction of the Earth for a first trip!" Rose teased The Doctor.

"I said I was sorry about that! Ok, so maybe it wasn't the smartest idea…"

"You can say that again." Rose stuck her tongue out at him. "What do you think Donna? Wouldn't you prefer the creation of the world rather than its destruction?" Rose glanced over at Donna and noticed that her shoulders were shuddering with the silent tears pouring down her cheeks. Rose walked over and put her arm around her shoulders as she cried.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She whispered.

Back in the Torchwood base, The Racnoss was still furious. "If the key is lost then another must be cut." She hissed. "At arms!" At her words, all the robots in the room turned their guns onto Lance, who flinched back.

The TARDIS dematerialized at its destination, and The Doctor peered around the console at Donna who was sitting miserably with Rose on one of the chairs.

"We've arrived…want to see?" He asked.

"Come on Donna." Rose said, standing and holding her hands out to Donna. "When else are you going to get to see the creation of the Earth?"

"I s'pose." Donna said unenthusiastically. The Doctor swung the monitor to face them.

"Oh, that scanner's a bit small." He said. "Maybe your way's best." He walked over to the door, followed by Rose. When he realized Donna was following, he turned. "Come on." Donna sighed resignedly then walked over to join them.

"No human's ever seen this. You two'll be the first." He told Rose and Donna.

"All I want to see is my bed."

"Donna Noble, Rose Tyler…Welcome to the creation of Earth." The Doctor said magnificently, then threw open the doors to a beautiful sight. The sun was shining through a majestic colored cloud of dust and gas with enormous rocks floating around. "We've gone back 4.6 billion years." The Doctor told them. "There's no solar system, not yet. Only dust and rocks and gas. There's the sun over there." He pointed. "Brand new. Just beginning to burn."

"Long time till it'll expand then, yeah?" Rose said under her breath, barely able to breathe because of the beauty of what she was seeing. The Doctor laughed.

"Yeah. A long time till then."

"Where's the Earth?" Donna asked.

"All around us…in the dust."

"Puts the wedding in perspective." Donna said. "Lance was right. We're just … tiny."

"No," The Doctor corrected her. "But that's what you do. The Human Race. Making sense out of chaos. Marking it out with weddings and Christmas and calendars. This whole process is beautiful, but only if it's being observed."

"So, I came out of all of this?" Donna asked, still staring at the breath taking sight.

"Isn't that brilliant?" The Doctor grinned.

"Fantastic…" Rose agreed.

"I think that's the Isle of Wright." Donna said, pointing at a rock that was floating lazily by the TARDIS. They all laughed at that.

"Eventually, gravity takes hold." The Doctor explained. Say, one big rock, heavier than all the others, starts to pull other rocks towards it. All the dust and gas and elements get pulled in. Everything piling up until you get the…"

"Earth." Rose finished for him.

"But the question is…" the Doctor said. "What was that first rock?" Just then a star shaped rock emerged through the clouds.

"Look." Donna said, pointing at it.

"The Racnoss…" the Doctor whispered.

Review? Pretty please?
