This chapter crosses over with Torchwood!

"Why're we in Cardiff?" asked Donna.

"Refueling," the Doctor said. "There's a rift in time and space that runs right through Cardiff, so we're just gonna get some for the TARDIS!"

"Oh," Donna turned away from the Console to look out of the TARDIS doors. "Why is there a dinosaur flying around?"

"Donna," the Doctor sighed, walking towards her. "There are no dinosaurs in—oh!"

"Should we do something?" asked Donna.

The Doctor looked around. He looked at the dinosaur, a pterodactyl or pteradon, doing what looked like tricks as it flew around. His eyes landed on a quintet of people standing near the water. A Japanese woman stood next to with a rather grouchy, toad-faced man, shooting him glances. Even closer to the bay, the Doctor recognized none other than Captain Jack Harkness. He was standing close to a well-put-together man in a suit and red dress shirt. In between the two couples was a woman with long, brown hair and a leather jacket.

"No," the Doctor decided. "Donna, let's go."

"Why?" Donna squeaked as she was pulled back into the TARDIS.

"We'll refuel in another time," he said. "2015 sound good?"

If Jack looked at the water tower, he would have seen a disappearing blue box. But he didn't—he was quite content to stay where he was.

The crossover with Torchwood was not planned, I swear! And, an explanation for the Doctor's behavior - while he may like Jack, and not be repulsed by him anymore, the Doctor still feels guilty and a bit like a stranger.
