Donna stood in the TARDIS as she considered what to do. After she had re-entered the TARDIS moments after the Doctor had just vanished into thin air behind her without a trace…not even a giveaway "whoosh" or any sort of sound or indication, Donna had gone inside the house where she lived with her mother and grandfather with a look like she was getting her head around having just seen a ghost, but with puzzled and wonder mixed in. Wilfred and Sylvia were home and so when she closed the door behind her and leaned back against it as she still wondered the heck could've happened to the Doctor she heard her name called 'Donna?' Wilfred said from somewhere in the house 'is that you?' he said even though he and Sylvia both knew it could only be her. This was clearly indicated by Sylvia's typical response to Donna's return 'well, look what the cat dragged in, and exactly where have you been this time young lady?' Sylvia said with the same mean and demeaning tone that she usually took with Donna as she poked her head round the corner from the kitchen.
At first Donna smiled a bit at the voice of her grandfather, but then this very quickly sank and she rolled her eyes with a sigh at her mother's words 'hello to you too' Donna said with an annoyed sarcasm before going to find Wilfred to give him a hug. Since then Donna had, once again put up with the same annoying and irritating drone of Sylvia's lecture about what the heck Donna was doing with her life and how she should be trying to get herself a better job than the usual "temp" jobs that Donna took on again and again among everything thing else that Sylvia seemed to find testing about her '…I mean, where do you go? No phone call no note…worried sick, and I've got my own affairs and plans, do you even think about and consider that? I don't suppose you do do you…and don't just sit there…' but Donna hardly heard any of it as she continued to wonder about the Doctor and what could've happened to him and what she was supposed to do now. Donna had then decided to go back out to the TARDIS to figure out what to do about the Doctor's disappearance to get away from her mother's ranting.
Now as she stood inside the TARDIS before the controls looking at them all she wondered where the hell do I even begin? She thought as she began to wander aimlessly around the console looking for something, anything that she could do to have the TARDIS…do something to find the Doctor.
Donna had always been content with standing back and watching the Doctor work the controls, which he did or seemed to do so fluently as if it was second nature, not even sparing a split second to consider which button, lever or switch to use, press or flick next as he piloted the TARDIS. She just figured that with how old the Doctor claimed to be, if he was really was more than 900 years old, that he was just more than content and used to flying the TARDIS having done so for centuries. All that time, all that experience. Sometimes Donna couldn't help but look at the Doctor in such a way that…well, that was just something about him that she just couldn't quite put her finger on no matter how hard she thought about it and considered, or even tried to get her around it. He looked so young, like such a young man on the outside, yet on the inside it was a completely different story altogether. On the inside he was such an ancient, old man, yet one with such youthful energy and life in him. It always made her wonder.
Anyway, Donna thought that if she could get the scanner screen to respond then maybe, just maybe that might be somewhere to start. However, when she went to the scanner screen to start pressing buttons which she thought might be safe to press without causing the TARDIS to just take off somewhere to only-god-would-know-where or even to explode she found a flashing message on the screen that made her stop in her tracks. "Temporal Anomaly Detected" the message read, the words were flashing back and forth between red and yellow with red exclamation marks on either side of the worded message on the screen.
Seconds later the message became "Emergency Assistance Acquired" followed by "Emergency Protocols Active", that was when the time engines made the typical hollow *thud* before the time rotors began to move up and down while time engines began to make their wheezing, groaning sound while at the same time the TARDIS began to shake and go a bit topsy turvy. This caused Donna to stumble back onto the railing that surrounded the control panel 'what are you doing?! I didn't press anything you stupid time machine! What are you doing now and where are you taking me?!' Donna yelled at the top of her voice as the TARDIS began a bumpy ride to…wherever the heck it was going. From then on it was taking and going to take all of Donna's effort to keep herself standing and remain that way as best she could and hold on…

A few seconds passed as the Tenth Doctor lay on his back on short and dry grass with his long coat splayed out under him, which he had put on over his blue suit just after leaving the TARDIS with Donna, before he opened his eyes to see a bright blue almost cloudless sky miles above him. The Doctor darted his eyes around and moved his head around a bit as he realised he wasn't in Chiswick in London before he sat up slowly, groaning a bit as he did so, and looking around properly all around him and even behind as he acknowledged where he was. At the edge of a lake, which he had his back to, in a dry, grass field like on a farm 'oh…well this different' he said out loud to himself before he did a double take 'ok, where have I said that before' he said before he squinted his eyes while he looked around again.
Getting to his feet the Doctor took another look around where he was, turning on the spot to look at the lake 'ok, this place seems vaguely familiar, where have I seen that lake before?' the Doctor thought. While the Doctor continued to look at the lake with a familiar niggle he thought no seriously, I feel like I'm getting Déjà vu, I'm sure I've been here before that was when a short chain of memories passed through his mind of when he met himself, a future self, before he had become the man he was today, back when he had the bodyguard look of black leather jacket and pants and close cropped hair.
Interestingly the Doctor found himself thinking I'm surprised I can remember being here in my previous life, considering… considering he didn't really remember meeting himself as he was now, not that that mattered, but then strangely he couldn't really remember what his future self had looked like either. I guess… the Doctor began to think just…see if I can find someone who can tell me where I am, and maybe from there find a way back to the TARDIS, unless I can call it here instead he thought before he proceeded across the field leaving the lake behind him.
