“Doctor,” Amy Pond whined, “Why are we doing here when there are all those planets out there to explore.” She gestured toward the sky above where the TARDIS had just landed.
“Come along Pond this is the biggest event ever, celebrating one of the best writers that will be revered even in the century 5 billion.” He spoke over his shoulder as he walked toward the convention hall with a picture of Agatha Christie over the doorway.
Jogging to catch up to him Amy stated, “And I suppose the next thing you are going to tell me is that you have met Agatha Christie during all of your travels through time.”
Stopping he looked at his young companion,”Well, yes I have as a matter of fact and she was magnificent a delight to have met.”
Rory finally reaching up to the duo catching the tail end of the conversation he inquired, “Delight to have met who?” he asked.
Turning on the spot the Doctor faced his other traveling friend and responded exasperatedly, “Agatha Christie of course now no more dilly dally let us go inside and see.”
He moved toward the doors and opened them with gusto and walked into the huge convention center and started to scan the crowd for his beloved red head hoping against hope that she might be in attendance.
He started to peruse the many different vending tables with Amy and Rory in tow looking at the many different wares that people had for sell when Amy spoke up pulling at the Doctor’s sleeve, “Look over there Doctor they are having a period costume contest. Can we go over there please?”
Feeling just a bit irritated by the interruption he sighed, “Okay Pond let us go and see the people who are longing for a different era dress like.”
He, Amy and Rory found a seat close to the stage; the Doctor crossed his legs still scanning the crowd not paying attention to the parade of 1920’s fashion before him when he heard Amy exclaim, “Wow that one is fabulous and she looks like she just stepped out of time.”
Looking up on the stage his hearts gave a leap inside of his chest as he watched Donna strut her stuff wearing a dress very similar to the one she wore so long ago. He smiled to himself as he watched her swing her drawstring bag in a circle as she walked.
Once she arrived at the microphone the announcer asked, “So what so you consider yourself to be a flapper or a slapper?”
Her voice sounded like an angel to his ears as she replied, “A flapper of course.”
As she turned to leave the stage he was entranced by the swing of her hips and felt his body respond to Donna’s movements. Leaning toward Amy and Rory he stated, “I have to go and take care of something, important, see you later.”
Quickly he rose from his chair, so not to miss his chance, barely hearing Amy call after him, “Take care of what?”
Donna walked off the stage feeling her heart fill with joy when she saw the man she met a few months ago sitting in the front row with his tweed coat and bow tie Since that fateful day on the rooftop he had haunted her dreams as she heard him over and over again in her mind saying that he believed she was right and she was truly and deeply loved.
She watched with baited breath as he moved swiftly through the crowd toward her and when he was close enough to hear her she smiled, “Well it seems that we are destined to meet again.”
Bowing slightly at the waist, with his hands grasped behind him he returned her smile, “So it seems would you like to join me for some more thinking?” He asked offering his arm to her.
Shaking her head no his hearts dropped as he assumed that she was going to reject his offer. But leave it to his beloved Donna to surprise him again. She weaved her hand in the crook of his arm accepting it, “Actually, I would prefer to talk over some tea. Are you interested?”
Placing his other hand over hers he replied, “It would be my honor.”
They walked toward one of the food venders and ordered some tea and sweets. Moving to one of the vacant tables they placed their cups down with the plate of goodies. With an over exaggerated movement the Doctor pulled out her chair than moved opposite of her and took his own seat.
Donna was surprised to be feeling a bit nervous being close to this man again and as they looked at each other she once again felt the urge to trace his features. Without thinking she started to raise her fingers to do just that.
Seeing what she was about to do, she instead reached for a biscuit, and to hide her embarrassment she asked, “You know the last time we met we never exchanged names.”
Leaning back in his chair he lifted his tea and answered, “No we did not.”
Tilting her head to the side she rolled her eyes, “You are such a dunce, so are you going to tell me your name or not.”
Trying to buy some time to come up with a different surname than what he had used in the past he replied, “You first, what shall I call you?”
“You are really odd you know that.” Holding her hand across the table, “You can call me Ms. Noble but I would prefer if you call me Donna.”
Reaching for her hand he brought it gently to his lips and looking deeply in her eyes he placed a soft kiss upon it, “Well you can call me Jonathan Williams.”
Donna felt the soft kiss deep within the core of her body and as he looked into her eyes he took her breath away. Never in her life had a kiss so chaste affect her so much; except maybe once when she kissed a man wearing a blue suit with similar brown hair as Jonathan’s.
The Doctor noticed her eyes starting to un-focus, he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer and moving his head side to side to look at each eye individually called to her, “Donna, are you alright?”
Hearing her name she returned focused back on the man in front of her, she watched as he moved his head to and fro looking at her face before she exclaimed, “Of course I am all right, now stop moving your head like some sort of alien because you are making me feel like I am suffering from some type of space moving sickness.”
Pulling back the Doctor said sheepishly, “Sorry, any sickness is never a good thing.”
“It is okay, by the way are you some sort of Doctor?” She inquired.
Fear leapt in his heart as he looked for signs of the meta-crisis returning but when he saw none he replied, “I guess I am a Doctor of sorts. Why do you ask?”
Taking a sip of her tepid tea she smiled up at him, “No reason at all you act more like the Doctor to me.”
Before he could respond to her use of the word “the” before saying Doctor a young girl around age four ran and jumped into Donna’s lap, “Mum I missed you.”
“I missed you too sweetheart. Where is your nana?’
The little girl waved her hands in the direction she came from, “She is over there she said I could come to you”
Looking down at the little girl in Donna’s lap the Doctor observed that she looked like a carbon copy of her mother with long red hair and angled features the only difference, he noted, was that the little girl’s eyes were brown while Donna’s were green.
The little girl pulled at her mum’s hair and asked as she pointed to the Doctor, “Who is that mummy”
Looking fondly down at her daughter she introduced him, “This is Jonathan Williams my dear.”
Reaching out her little hand Donna’s daughter introduced herself, “My name is Martha Jennifer Noble.”
Trying to hide is surprise at the little girl’s name he reached for her small hand and shook it gently.”That is a brilliant name.”
Without hesitation she replied, “I know.” Then she turned to her mum, “Can we go home I am tired.”
“Yes of course dear.” Standing up she looked down at the Doctor, “Thank you for the tea Jonathan it was wonderful, I hope to see you again.”
Standing he replied earnestly, “I do truly hope to see you again very soon.”
He watched as mother and daughter disappeared in the crowds of people, he smiled fondly and spoke in a gentle whisper, “Oh yes Donna Noble I will see you again very soon.”
Pivoting on the heel of his shoe he turned and clapped his hands together and went in search for Amy and Rory all the while making plans on when he can accidently run into Donna Noble again.

Date: 2011-01-07 03:59 am (UTC)I think it will surprise you and delight you but it will also make you very sad and angry at the same time.
I used my son's words and antics for Martha and yea she is adorable.
Oh I just want to give you a little hint about Donna and Shuan I wonder if you noticed Donna introducing herself as Ms.
Anywho I am glad you liked it.

Date: 2011-01-07 06:10 am (UTC)is it gonna be a bit like the blurbs I saw for the Time Traveller's Wife? he turns up at different points in her life and whatnot? never saw the movie myself.
anyway surprise and delight I can handle...not sure about the sad and angry bit...but I'll trust you to give them a good proper ending.
well then both Martha and your son are absolutely adorable!
I didn't notice the Ms bit but I re-read the bit about Martha and saw that she introduced herself as a Noble...that was my clue about Donna and Shaun not being together at this time...REALLY hope Martha isn't Shaun's.
in this did Donna marry Shaun? I mean is this following all of EoT canon or are there differences?
Does Donna still have the lottery winnings? does she need to work or is she just doing it for her own reasons?
I'm very glad you continued it!
