"Right then, there's no place like home." Smiled The Doctor as he piloted the TARDIS to Cardiff, "England, Cardiff, 21st century, and you couldn't have been gone more than a few days, a week tops Jack"

"Thanks Doc," smiled Jack as he and jenny stepped out of the TARDIS

"Look after my daughter Jack, or I won't hesitate to throw you into the rift."

"Aye Aye captain" Jack gave The Doctor a grin and a salute, before grabbing Jenny's hand and smiling at her.

They turned their backs and wandered off into Cardiff's centre, where Jack began to explain to jenny everything she needed to know about earth, and Jack's team that she would be joining, Torchwood. Rose, The Doctor and Donna stood outside the TARDIS, waved them off before turning in.

"I'm gonna miss them," Rose smiled sadly

"Yeah me too, but they need to find themselves, sort of establish themselves as a couple, without dad tagging along" said Donna, nodding to The Doctor. As they wandered into the control room, The Doctor pacing ahead, eager to fly them to their next destination.

"So anyway, moving on, onwards and upwards- where to next? We could go and see the not-so-lost-anymore moon of Pooche, or maybe-"

"Actually doctor, I was thinking…" Donna started

"You want to leave." Said The Doctor bluntly, looking down at his shoes like they were the most interesting things in the world.

"Not permanently, just for a month or two, bit homesick and that, and anyway if you really miss me that much you can just skip ahead, but don't worry about me- you and Rose, you need a break." Said Donna with a warm smile, Rose smiled back to, but she could sense The Doctor felt something wrong. Since she had changed into her own unidentifiable sub-species of human-time lord-TARDIS, she had a stronger telepathic field. She could practically feel The Doctors emotions of worry, and sadness projecting at her.

She looked over at him as he gave Donna a big smile and began putting in the co-ordinates. There was only one problem, the smile was fake. They landed gently outside Donna's house, and they both stood and waved at the doors of the TARDIS as she walked inside her home, and they both smiled at Wilf as he answered the door, beaming when he saw her granddaughter there. He and Donna waved off Rose and The Doctor, and the TARDIS shot up into the vortex. As soon as they had taken off, Rose stood next to The Doctor;

"Are you going to tell me what all that was about?"

"All what?"

"Doctor I can practically feel your emotions hitting me in the chest, Donna's coming back you know" she said reassuringly. The Doctor looked up at her with a small sad smile on his face.

"That's the thing though, I can see it Rose, and you probably can too if you squint. Her timeline around her, timelords can see them, and if we look close enough we can see certain peoples futures, and we can see if they are fixed points or in flux, and I can see Donna's . She leaves the TARDIS and meets a Mr Shaun Temple, and he asks her out. She accepts, and by the time we get back, they're together, she decides to stay a bit longer- and when we come back a month later, we ask if Shaun wants to travel with us. But then Shaun's brother commits suicide, and he decides he isn't leaving anywhere, and Donna stays with him. It's a fixed point."

Rose gasped, and clutched onto the doctors hand. He delved around into his pocket until he finds what he was looking for and smiles, "here, a few years ago, someone stuck this to the TARDIS when I landed her in 2019, it's a photo with a note scrawled on the back, I always kept it in case I ever found out who it was" he passed it over to Rose, and she smiles sadly. It's a picture of Donna and Shaun and a small girl, about four or five years old, with a boy a few years older standing next to them. Rose turned it over and on the back it said:

'Dear Doctor and Rose, it has been so long since I saw you both last! I would ask how you are, but I don't know how you'd reply. I only left this on the TARDIS because I was worried it might be a wrong time thingy, and it could be some random other doctor in there asking me who the hell am I. In the picture is me and Shaun, our son Chris, named after Shaun's brother, god bless him and our daughter, Evangelista- just like that sweet girl from the library, remember her doctor? She warned me that the library world wasn't real, and she saved me. I do miss travelling, but I love family life- don't get me wrong I love you both I do, but family is such an amazing adventure and maybe you two will get round to it someday. I would ask you to visit, but I know what you're like with goodbye's spaceman, and I know you probably won't come, and I understand that so don't fret. I see Jack and Jenny on occasion, but I won't give too much away there, just in case, don't want to blow a hole in all of reality. I hope your both okay, and remember this you two, never be alone. Because I worry about you both sometimes, but as long as you at least have each other, I know you'll be okay. If you ever do need me, I live at 35 James Street, London, England, Earth, The Solar System. You won't catch me moving to mars anytime soon! But anyway, before I go,I ran into some strange woman today, who asked me if I knew you I said yeah, what's it to you? But she just said to give you a message, so here I am passing it on. She said to tell you that silence will fall. I don't know what the bloody hell that means, but maybe you two do so good luck with that. I love you both, and remember: silence will fall. Love Donna Temple-Noble x

Rose shivered slightly at the phrase that she had heard the TARDIS say, and The Doctor just looked at it with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know what that means, but I'm sure we will someday. Anyways, better go and pop back in on Donna for the last times, and then leave her forever to let history take its course." Rose looked up at him and nodded sadly. He was about to turn to walk away when he felt Rose slide her arms round his neck and hug him tightly. He hugged her back automatically, and rested his chin on her head, giving her a small kiss into her golden hair.

"What's this for then?" he chuckled lightly

"Just because, I know how close you two were, and it must be sad to let her go, she is your best friend after all. But she's happy, and that's all that matters yeah?"

"Yeah" The Doctor whispered quietly, but in his head he was trying to work out what Donna had meant by silence will fall and trying to think back to where he had heard those words before.

Ooooh cliffy I know I know. This is basically a short filler, so I can write some more just doctor and Rose stuff, as the TARDIS crew were feeling a bit crowded. I'm thinking of maybe doing Voyage of the Dammed next.. I mean I know it's completely not in this erm, time stream type thingy, but my story my rules. I just altered the paradimes of the series a bit, no biggie. Let me know any ideas/suggestions for good episodes to do! I do eventually want to progress to eleven eventually, considering the whole silence will fall thing, but I'm not quite finished with our favourite trench coat wearing doctor yet, not sure if I'm going to bother with end of time, purely because its quite complicated to write Rose into, so I may just kill him another way, but don't fret, that's not for a while yet.
