Partners in Crime- Part 3
I don't own Doctor who and I am not making a profit off of this. I only own my OC's.
Thank you for all your reviews, favorites, follows, and story alerts.
"Donna! Susan!" The Doctor yelled. Donna is hanging from the end of the cable and I am holding on to the cable, just above Donna. I hold on to the cable just like I climbed a rope for gym.
"Doctor!" Donna yelled.
"Hold on!" The Doctor yelled
"I am! Doctor!" Donna yelled back.
"Yeah, great advice." I retorted.
The Doctor catches a falling pen, which I knew to be a sonic falling pen, puts it between his teeth and climbs to another window.
"I'm going to fall!" Donna yelles.
"No you aren't." I yelled back.
"This is all your fault. I should've stayed at home." Donna yelled at the Doctor.
The Doctor slides up the window and yells "I won't be a minute!" He climbed inside and disappeared from my view.
I heard Donna yell "Get off!"
"It's the Doctor!" I yelled down to her.
"How do you know that?" Donna retorted back.
"Because I do!"
"I've got you, I've got you. Stop kicking." The Doctor said. The Doctor pulls Donna inside and I slide my self down to the mettle bar. I put my hands on the bar and drop my feet down and now I'm the one dangling. The Doctor grabs my legs and pulls me in.
I hug him and said "Thanks."
"I was right. It's always like this with you, innit?" Donna asked.
"Oh, yes! And off we go." The Doctor said and I let go of him.
"Oi!" Penny yelled.
"Sorry!" The Doctor said. He zaps Penny free from the chair.
"Now do yourself a favour. Get out." The Doctor said and we ran out of the office.
We meet Miss. Foster and her guards beside her in the call center. I stood on the left side and Donna stood on the right side of the Doctor.
"Hello." I said. "Remember me?"
"Nice to meet you, I'm the Doctor." The Doctor said.
"And I'm Donna." Donna put in.
"Partners in crime. And evidently off-worlders, judging by your sonic technology." Miss. Foster said.
"Oh, yes, I've still got your sonic pen. Nice. I like it. Sleek. It's kind of sleek." The Doctor said, holding it up.
"Oh, it's definitely sleek." Donna said. I just nodded my head.
"Yeah, and if you were to sign your real name, that would be?" The Doctor asked
"Matron Cofelia of the Five Straighten Classabindi Nursery Fleet. Intergalactic Class." I cut in. Miss. Foster just stared at me in shock.
"A wet nurse, using humans as surrogates." The Doctor spat.
"I've been employed by the Adiposian First Family to foster a new generation after their breeding planet was lost." I winced, knowing where it went.
"What do you mean lost? How do you lose a planet?"
"Oh, politics are none of my concern. I'm just here to take care of the children on behalf of the parents."
"What, like an outer space super nanny?" Donna asked.
"Yes, if you like." Miss. Foster said.
" So. So those little things, they're, they're made out of fat, yeah, but that woman, Stacy Campbell, there was nothing left of her." Donna said.
"Oh, in a crisis the Adipose can convert bone and hair and internal organs. Makes them a little bit sick, poor things."
"What about poor Stacy?" Donna asked, horrified.
"Seeding a level five planet is against galactic law."
"That's what she said." Miss. Foster pointed to me and then said. "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm trying to help you, Matron. This is your one chance, because if you don't call this off, then I'll have to stop you."
"I hardly think you can stop bullets." Miss. Foster retorted. The guards took aim. I tensed.
"No, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. One more thing, before dying. Do you know what happens if you hold two identical sonic devices against each other?" The Doctor asked.
"No." Miss. Foster said.
"Nor me. Let's find out." The Doctor held both of them together and an awful noise comes out and glass shatters nearby. Everyone except the Doctor grabs their heads in pain. Donna pushes his arm to stop him.
"Come on!" Donna yelled and we ran past them.
"I'm advancing the birth plan. We're going into premature labour." I heard Miss. Foster say before we were out the door.
We ran to the storage cupboard where the doctor and I hid earlier. The Doctor throws out a ladder and mops.
"Well, that's one solution. Hide in a cupboard. I like it." Donna said. The Doctor soniced the wall and there is a big green machine behind the sliding back wall.
"I've been hacking into this thing all day, because the matron's got a computer core running through the centre of the building. Triple deadlocked. But now I've got this," The Doctor holds up her sonic pen. "I can get into it."
"She's wired up the whole building. We need a bit of privacy." The Doctor holds to wires together and a forcefield stops the guards in their tracks. "Just enough to stop them. Why's she wired up the tower block? What's it all for?"
"You look older." Donna commented.
"Thanks,"
"Still on your own?"
"No. I had this friend. Martha she was called. Martha Jones. She was brilliant. And I destroyed half her life. But she's fine, she's good. She's gone. I still have Susan here."
"What about Rose?"
"Still lost. I thought you were going to travel the world?"
"Easier said than done. It's like I had that one day with you, and I was going to change. I was going to do so much. Then I woke up the next morning, same old life. It's like you were never there. And I tried. I did try. I went to Egypt. I was going to go barefoot and everything. And then it's all bus trips and guidebooks and don't drink the water, and two weeks later you're back home. It's nothing like being with you. I must have been mad turning down that offer."
"What offer?" The Doctor asked, glancing up at Donna.
"To come with you,"
"Come with me?"
"Oh yes, please." Donna said.
"Right."
"Inducer activated." The Computer told us.
"What's it doing now?" Donna asked, panicking.
"She's started the programme." The Doctor said.
"So far they're just losing weight, but the Matron's gone up to emergency pathogenesis." The Doctor said.
"And that's when they convert." Donna stated.
"Skeletons, organs, everything. A million people are going to die. Got to cancel the signal." The Doctor dismantles the pendant. "This contains a primary signal. If I can switch it off, the fat goes back to being just fat." He attaches part of the pendant to the inducer.
"Inducer increasing." The Computer said.
"No, no, no, no, no. She's doubled it. I need. Haven't got time. It's too far. I can't override it. They're all gonna die!" The Doctor said in a panic.
"Is there anything I can do?" Donna asked.
"Sorry, Donna, this is way beyond you. Got to double the base pulse, I can't."
"Doctor, tell me. What do you need?"
"I need a second capsule to boost the override, but I've only got the one. I can't save them." Donna holds up her pendant. The Doctor and Donna stare at eachother for a second and he pulls it apart and plugs it in. The inducer shuts down.
Suddenly I heard a loud noise. "What the hell was that?" Donna asked.
"Nursery ship." The Doctor said.
"Fine. When you say nursery you don't mean a crèche in Notting Hill."
"Nursery ship." The Doctor repeated.
The computer lights up again. "Incoming signal."
"Hadn't we better go and stop them?" Donna asked.
"Hang on. Instructions from the Adiposian First Family." The Doctor said. "She's wired up the tower block to convert it into a levitation post. Ooo. Oh. We're not the ones in trouble now. She is!"
We ran up to the roof. "What you going to do then? Blow them up?" Donna asked.
"They're just children. They can't help where they come from." The Doctor said.
"Oh, that makes a change from last time. That Martha and you Susan must've done you good." Donna said.
"Not me, Martha." I told Donna.
"She did, yeah. They did. Martha fancied me."
"Mad Martha, that one. Blind Martha. Charity Martha. I'm waving at fat." Donna said.
"Actually, as a diet plan, it sort of works. There she is!" The Doctor said. Miss Foster is floating upwards, too, below the little Adipose. She stops at roof level.
"Matron Cofelia, listen to me." The Doctor said.
"Oh, I don't think so, Doctor. And if I never see you again, it'll be too soon,"
"Oh, why does no one ever listen. I'm trying to help. Just get across to the roof. Can you shift the levitation beam?" The Doctor pleaded.
"What, so that you can arrest me?" Miss. Foster retarded.
"Just listen. I saw the Adiposian instructions. They know it's a crime, breeding on Earth. So what's the one thing they want to get rid of? Their accomplice."
"I'm far more than that. I'm nanny to all these children."
"Exactly! Mum and Dad have got the kids now. They don't need the nanny anymore." The levitation beam switches off. Miss Foster does a Wile E Coyote double take in mid-air, then falls with a scream and a splat. The spaceship flies away. The Doctor and Donna hug.
The Doctor throws the sonic pen into a waste bin. Penny comes along, still tied to the chair.
"Oi, you three. You're just mad. Do you hear me? Mad! And I'm going to report you for madness." While the Doctor and Donna were distracted by Penny, I grabbed the sonic pen out of the garbage and slipped it into my purse.
"You see, some people just can't take it." Donna said.
"No."
"And some people can. So, then. Tardis! Come on." Donna said.
In the alleyway "That's my car! That is like destiny. And I've been ready for this." Donna said opening her trunk. It is full of suitcases. "I packed ages ago, just in case. Because I thought, hot weather, cold weather, no weather. He goes anywhere. I've gotta be prepared." She unloads the boot into the Doctor's arms.
"You've got a, a hatbox." The Doctor said, stunned.
"Planet of the Hats, I'm ready. I don't need injections, do I? You know, like when you go to Cambodia. Is there any of that? Because my friend Veena went to Bahrain, and she. You're not saying much."
"No, it's just. It's a funny old life, in the Tardis."
"You don't want me,"
"I'm not saying that,"
"But you asked me. Would you rather be on your own, sorry, with only Susan?"
"No. Actually, no. But the last time, with Martha, like I said, it, it got complicated. And that was all my fault. I just want a mate." I mentally face palmed my head.
"You just want to mate?"
"I just want a mate!"
"You're not mating with me, sunshine!"
"A mate. I want a mate."
I smirked, knowing why he was doing this.
"Well, just as well, because I'm not having any of that nonsense. I mean, you're just a long streak of nothing. You know, alien nothing."
"There we are, then. Okay."
"I can come?" Donna asked, surprised.
"Yeah. Course you can, yeah. I'd love it."
"Oh, that's just…." They almost hug. "Car keys."
"What?" The Doctor asked.
"I've still got my mum's car keys. I won't be a minute." Donna runs off. The Doctor and I start lugging her bags into the Tardis.
After we finished loading all Donna's luggage in I said, "I'm going to change into something that is more fit for running than this." I said. "I won't be long." The Doctor nodded his head and I ran off to go change into something that I could wear to Pompeii while Donna said goodbye to her granddad.
A/N: So, Pompeii... to be honest, I'd rather go to the end of the world with Rose as my first trip in the Tardis then to Pompeii with Donna, I have nothing against Donna though.
