Thanks for the reviews. :D I'm glad the last chapter went well. I'd love it if more of you could give me little things to add to the story. Whether it's something of you to put in Jane or if there is a conversation you want to see happen. Please let me know.

In other news...

Finally! These characters are starting to go somewhere. :)

"Let me see if I understand. Donna Noble travels with the Doctor, and something is going to happen that causes a parallel world to be built around her. And I'm going to have to make her go back to the moment it broke. Which is going to kill her?"

I had just finished giving Rose a vague account of turn left. I didn't give everything away yet. Just the most important bits.

"Basically. Yeah."

"I have to kill her?"

"Well no. Sort of. It's all a bit, wibbly wobbly, timey wimey."

She raises an eyebrow at me.

"You're using his technical terms now are ya?"

I laugh.

"He says he was first in his class for jiggery pokery but I was ten points higher than him."

And then in a stage whisper I add one more thing.

"Extra credit. Plus I was the teacher's favorite."

Rose laughs at this.

"Of course you were!"

The rest of the day is nice. Neither of us thinks too hard about what needs to be done. Tomorrow would take care of itself.

DW DW DW DW DW DW DW DW DW DW

It's early morning. Rose and I enter the cannon room and she begins to prepare for the jump.

"Are you sure she's up for this?"

Mickey looks at me with a set jaw.

"She can handle it Smith."

"Maybe I should go too."

"No. You will stand down. Throwing you into this is going to change things that I won't be able to predict. We stick to the script."

"This isn't a movie."

Oh, how wrong he is. But what am gonna do?

"Maybe not Mickey, but if it is, I've seen it before. If we change anything, I don't know the storyline anymore. And things could start to get messy. We are dealing with Daleks here. Do you want to take any chances?"

He grumbles, but he doesn't question me again. I take out my journal and look through my entries on season four. Especial turn left. The timing for all of this is crucial. I can't afford to make any mistakes. This past year has been mentally difficult, but physically it's been rather easy. Today is the day the real work begins. This is my real job. Right here right now.

"I'm ready."

I look at Rose and smirk. Blue leather jacket over a magenta jumper complete with jeans and trainers. She looks exactly how she is suppose to, and I find a bit of comfort in it.

"Alright. Let's get to it."

I feel myself slip into solider mode. I can't make a mistake, which means I have to make sure the people here don't either. I have to be a strong leader, and my voice can't leave any room for an argument.

"Everyone take positions."

I head over to the technician who aims the cannon.

"We're sending her to the last universe I jumped to. But we need to make sure the timing is right."

"What time do I send her to then ma'am?"

"Don't call me ma'am. It makes me feel old."

I pause and think for a moment. I need to send her to the partners in crime episode. With the adipose. But I have no idea when that was. So I make a guess. Funny. No room for mistakes and I'm making guesses.

"2008."

It's early in the season so...spring?

"April."

I have no idea what date. At all.

"Just pick a random day in April 2008 and make it London. Use the key to narrow it further."

"Is that all ma'am...lieutenant I mean?"

I set my jaw. It's gonna have to be good enough.

"Yes. Carry on."

I look at Rose one more time with a raised eyebrow. She nods at me and I continue.

"On my mark. Three, two, one. Fire."

And then Rose disappears in a flash of blue sparks.

It's several minutes before the charge comes back and then all of sudden she's there. She takes a deep breathe.

"Are you alright Rose?"

"Yeah. It was the right universe. It felt right."

"Great. That's good. Did anyone speak to you?"

Rose looks at me startled.

"Yeah. Yeah there was this woman. She was rambling about keys in a bin."

I smile.

"That, Rose Tyler, was Donna Noble. The most important woman in the multiverse."

"That was Donna Noble?"

"Yes!"

I laugh as I spin away.

"Okay. Now we're getting somewhere!"

Rose and Mickey smile and shake their heads.

"Lieutenant. We have a problem. There seems to be some strange reading here."

I head over to the technician and look at the monitor. The lines and squiggles wouldn't make sense if I didn't have an idea of what was wrong. The time lines were splitting. Everything converging on one moving point. Donna. That split line has to be the other universe. The original one we were following is jagged. I don't want to send Rose there again. I smirk. But I will be sending a video.

"Right. The time lines are converging on Donna. A parallel world is compensating around her. Let's hold off on the jumps. Malcolm!"

"Yes?"

"Hook a laptop with a webcam up to this thing. We're going to send a video."

People are scrambling to follow my orders and Mickey is making sure they are efficient. Rose heads over to me.

"Why are they converging on Her?"

I smile slyly at her.

"Spoilers."

Malcolm interrupts before she can question me further.

"Laptop is hooked up and running ma'am."

"Good. Don't call me ma'am. Rose. Try to get the Doctor's attention. Techie!"

The young man from the monitors knows I mean him, and he answers.

"Aim this message for May of 2008."

That's got to be around the sontaran day.

"Use the key to get the message into the TARDIS."

The next half hour really consists of Rose shouting for the Doctor through a laptop. About half way through that I tell Techie to change locations. When he asks where I point to a random spot on the screen in between where we are and where the big knot is. That knot has to be the battle. I'm hoping that it's a good aim for the planet Midnight.

I shiver at the thought of that episode. It had to be one of the most disturbing. I only saw it once. Didn't care for a repeat. I giggle at my own joke.

Finally I tell Rose to stop.

"But we're so close."

"We are, but that doesn't mean a thing. We still have stuff to do. Everyone take a break. We are going to jump again in 30 minutes."

Mickey gapes at me.

"That line is still unstable. And you want to send her into that?!"

"Don't be daft Mickey. I'm sending her into the one running next to it. If I don't, this whole thing blows up in our faces."

"You're out o..."

"Stand down Major!"

We wants to argue but he won't. I pulled rank. He can't do anything about it. So he leaves.

"Better rest up Rose. Things are about to get a lot more tedious."

She puts her hand on my shoulder.

"You should rest too. You look tense."

"I am tense. But I can't rest. Not yet. Too busy."

"At least eat something with me."

I sigh. I might not be able to relax, but my stomach is not going to argue.
