AN/Warnings: Woohoo! I can still write! Written for weekly drabble challenge #46 'night' at doctor_donna



Donna knew that traveling with the Doctor wasn't going to be all magic and sparkles, but she hadn't figured that it would always be so dark. What with the constant routine of being locked in dungeons or hiding in caves, the only time she'd seen a sun, alien or otherwise, she was too busy running to do more than glance at it. She had half a mind to make him drop her off at Chiswick next chance they got. She would have suggested a calm beach or nice shopping trip, but judging by the way the last five 'relaxing' trips had went, she was better off sitting in this cage. At least it had a chair. It was exhausting, all the running, getting captured, escaping, running again… She wanted to go home. Go out with her mates. Spend a night in a place that didn't smell like, God, what was that smell? She had her mind made up. Next time she saw that stupid Martian, she'd be going home.

"Donna!" that familiar voice called in relief, "Finally! Did you know they kept us at opposite sides of the building?"

"About time!"

"Yeah, well, opposite sides of the building! It's quite a large building, you know."

"Oh just get me out of here!"

She heard the sonic screwdriver whirring away before the door opened with a click.

"Come on," he said, grabbing her hand, "The guards'll be here any second, and you don't want to see an Esplornuff when they blow!"

Running down that corridor, with her skinny alien boy's hand in hers, Donna knew that there was no where else in the entire universe she'd rather be.

Hehehe, Donna could never stay away from that life with the Doctor if she could help it.

But who could? Haha :)

This is so Donna! I could see her getting annoyed and irritated and being ready to tell the Doctor she's had enough and then seeing the Doctor and getting all caught up with him again.
She really did love her life with him.

Thank you so much!

Aw, of course she wouldn't want to be anywhere else! This is lovely!

Nice quickie adventure! I liked your internal moment with Donna, getting into her briefly pondering whether her choice to join him had been right.

Only critique would be a small punctuation issue:

"The guard's'll be here any second

Probably just happened with you were writing quickly. Just drop the first apostrophe.

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. :)

*headdesk* I knew that looked a bit off, thanks!

[abbyromana.livejournal.com]

It's okay. :) I've done similiar things when I'm writing fast. That's why I try to get my things beta'd, just in case I'm being blind to something obvious. ;)

Still, it was a lovely story. Again, thank you for sharing it with us.

Hee, so right - she wouldn't swap it all for anything!

[grlgoddess.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Thanks for reading!

[abstruse-fangrl.livejournal.com]

Hee!

This was so Donna.

You know she'd never really leave the Doctor's side, no matter how many scrapes they ended up in. :)

[grlgoddess.livejournal.com]

Of course she wouldn't! Thank you!

[grlgoddess.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D
