Enough people seem to want to know the answer to that that now I'll have to write a bonus scene. I was originally just going to leave it open.

Oh it's coming. Next chapter will have lots of emotions and should be up in a few days. :)

Wow. Just caught up with this story. Love it! Can't wait to see how it'll turn out and if the other woman in the prison really was Rose.

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it. :) I was originally going to leave that blonde open for interpretation, but since every reviewer has asked about her...I'm thinking that's not really an option any more lol.

It was really cool to see things from the Doctor's point of view in this chapter. I love this story so far and I'm really looking forward to the next bit.

I really hope the blonde with the brown eyes is Rose. The dialogue you've written sounds exactly like her voice.

I was leery of writing from the Doctor's pov as I'm not sure I quite have a good voice on him all the time, but it was necessary for the plot here.

You think so? I've written her dialog before and, much like the Doctor, I have trouble giving voice to her in my mind. As to if that woman was Rose...I wasn't going to answer but inquiring minds want to know so... ;)

Love this story. Gorgeous description of the clouds and the cloud walking- I'd like to think that after the Doctor is back to normal and they have their long painful conversations (and Rose magically appears from thin air and Donna gets to make out with someone hot and they all have a magical happy ending ;) ) maybe he'd take Donna back to the planet enjoy it properly...

Donna handled the kiss very gracefully, and it was neat seeing how things are looking from the Doctor's point of view. Interesting how he's been noticing the inconsistencies in his hallucinations. I have a feeling he is not going to be happy when he wakes up from his healing nap!

oved both yes, cause that had worked so well when they'd been caught and "You'll do well to remember I don't always need you to rescue me." Yay for snarky, awesome Donna!

(And yes, like everyone else, I was wondering if Donna's jailmate was a dimension hopping Rose and what her illicit mode of travel is...)

I can't even say how pleased I am that this is being well received. Writing is not my primary outlet so I get nervous when I do write and then post it.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons just because I love looking around at nature in transition. All the subtle color variations and warm colors...I can't even describe the compulsion it gives me to paint/draw. So putting in that description was just a guilty pleasure on my part. :)

In the end you should be able to see where I'm attempting to seamlessly fit in my fic with season 4, (Sadly this means no super happy ending *sad*) but I agree that I think he would try and take her back.

Donna is just made of awesome. She's such a fantastic character (well, all of them are in their own ways) and she really was perfect for this scenario. I confess that I love writing her snarky bits the most though. XD

I've now added a bit about the blonde so those of you who are not the author won't be left to wonder forever. ;)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Doctor's POV. brilliant addition. i like how you've incorporated his thoughts into this, because we know our Doctor isn't stupid, just drugged, so he would have noticed Rose acting strange.

i'm half checking your page every day, half dreading this next and final [:(] installment ... because i have a feeling it'll be sad and i'll cry. a lot. haha.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE ROSE AND LET HER COME BACK ON THE TARDIS AND THEY CAN HAVE HAPPY TIMES TOGETHER. PLEASE? :)

(ps. your donna is awesome. beyond awesome. "You'll do well to remember I don't always need you to rescue me." LOVE HER SO MUCH. oh ... and update soon! i may die of anticipation if you don't! xD)

[laialda]

I don't feel completely comfortable in the Doctor's head but I do think it was necessary so I'm glad you liked it.

i'm half checking your page every day, half dreading this next and final [:(] installment

Lol, I know that feeling very well. I did say I'd try to keep it as far away from angst as I could, so you never know. I'm told I do heart-wrenching well though so we may see that....just a warning ;)

We will found out who the blonde is. That is all I am saying....cause I'm evil...

Donna has gumption! I love gumption! XD She is so much fun to write and just flows as a result. I was going to have the chapter done tonight, but took an extra day with the family so look for it tomorrow. Hopefully about 3pm EST as it's already half way done.
