I LOVE my birthday pressie! *big squishyhugs!* I was bouncing all over my chair reading this! :D And wondering what'll happen when they finally figure out what's going on. ;D And stuff....and I hope you put the other chapters up soon, cos I'm on the edge of my seat! =D
Now I'll -try- to pretend I'm a new viewer instead of simply gushing about Nine without Rose. :D Jenny's a very engaging viewpoint character, and I love the mystery about her father, and all the little touches that say there's more to her (and that man) than meets the eye.
The interplay between her and her mum are perfect, even to the accidentally on purpose pressing her mum about sensitive matters. (As an aside, oh Donna. Still pining for that marvelous man who gave her Jenny...at least she made something of herself though :) )
Oh Mickey - their interaction was just what I'd expect to see with a boyfriend and girlfriend. Bringing her treats to go with lunch, aww, so sweet! And I love how she knows she's not as mature as she wants to be too. :) (So different from a certain non-mentioned creature :D)
And Jenny with the Doctor was brilliant, for all that it felt so short! And he runs off before she can properly demand an explanation - just like a man! ;P (And I love that she noticed the phone box too ;D Very observant girl, that Jenny :D)
Okay, now that I've tried to do the 'new reader' thing, I'll get back to squeeing about my pressie! :D Post more now that I've squee'd? :D

I knew you'd love it as soon as I thought of it. *hugs back* I was chomping at the bit to know what you thought of this and tardis-mole's pressie for you. :D
Hey, now that you've done the commenting, you can tell me how Jenny makes the episode so much better by making comparisons. You can do that with each "episode" and chapter. :D
Yeah, Jenny was an inspiration to Donna to do better, to make something of herself no matter what. And she did just that. Jenny is so proud of her mum. Can you tell that yet? :D
She treats Mickeys far better, eh? :DDDD
It WAS short in canon! And No-Name was SO annoying and stupid in it! Believe me, I'm so enjoying seeing how much of a difference a change in characters makes. :D And note that she knew what they were back in the day. :D
More coming, as soon as I've double-checked something in "Rose" for accuracy's sake. :D My connections could be a bit uncertain soon - although I'm taking my computer with me, there'll be about two days where I'm not sure how much I'll be able to access the Net. Will try to post daily, Squee. :D

Well, all Donna really needed was a reason to stop listening to her mother putting her down. So here she has Jenny, really spurring her on cos she wants to be a good mother. :)
Yeah, she treats Mickey better. :D (of course a rock could've treated Mickey better than Rose did...)
I'll just add comments as asides to compare and contrast, starting with next chapter :D I'd take up too much space redoing it here ;) (Although I will say, after I got over being annoyed at other RL stuff, I went and rewatched 'Rose' last night, and this opener ranks so far over the other that it's impossible to compare ;) Oh, but she was an idiot, wasn't she?)
Yeah, I know it was short, but Jenny's more persistent - I'd have thought it would be longer. Ah well, the Doctor really did have to get on with blowing up Henricks, didn't he? :P And Jenny noticed the TARDIS! *hee!*
*huggle* I'm off for next chapter - you have fun on your trip, and I'll promise not to mind if you miss a couple of days :D *hug!*
(oh yes - *squee!* *snoopydance* =D)
