So... she wouldn't go in there with his jacket on, but she is still wearing his ring. Ok. :DDDDDDDDDD

Love the cousins addition.

Still smile at him curled up like a scared spider on the back seat. *giggles*

[tkel_paris]

Because he told her it would keep her safe. Although... we can argue the point. Let's assume the driver didn't notice the ring, even though Donna held up her hand. So the Doctor maybe had to whisper about things called perception filters? ;D

Thank you for suggesting it. :D

*cackles* Ironic, given what's coming, don't you think? ;D But I love the image. *snickers*

[tardis_mole]

Very ironic. :DDD

Am being a good boy and being patient for the next part, by the way :DDDDD

Yay! You got the car chase in. :D Perhaps they originally omitted it because it gave away too much about Lance? Or Smart Cars wouldn't sanction it? (Explains why they had a Peugeot after that)

I love the changes you've made to the original script. This is right up my street! I love it!!!

[tkel_paris]

Whatever the reason, I'm sorry it was cut. You know, I saw a blue Smart Car in the parking lot of our allergist's office, and I had a hard time picturing how DT got in the back of one of those. Isn't he over 6 feet tall?!?!

Thank you. And you're welcome. *hugs*

I am absolutely enjoying this! I love how you've taken the episode an have weaves into your story. Looking forward to more! :)

[tkel_paris]

Thank you. :D More will be up once it's polished. :)

Yes! Finally! Doctor defending Donna at the reception! Perfect! Those people deserved it and it was disappointing it didn't happen in the Special.

Wait, so now he knows Jack controls Torchwood 3? Did I miss something? Not that I'm complaining, this looks way better than him finding out like he originally did and getting all self-righteous with Jack *bleh*.

Great work!

[tkel_paris]

I know. No way he wasn't going to here. In fact, I wonder... Should I put out a challenge to all D/D writers to rewrite that scene according to how they think the Doctor should've acted?

Oh... I'd better clarify that in the next part. Good thing there's a handy dandy spot for it. :) And I agree.

Thanks! :DDDDD

[yellow_craion]

A challenge! What a great idea!

Oh, I LOVE IT when the Doctor yells at Donna's family and friends for their treatment of her! I really needed to read something like this today. Thank you for such an excellent chapter!

I loved the fact that Donna was able to show off how compassionate she is in this chapter.

I loved the talk the Doctor and Donna had about Rose. At least this way Donna knows how the Doctor really feels about Rose.

I wonder if Sylvia does give Donna such a hard time because of her hair color?

How much do weddings cost anyway? I'm LDS, so we were married in the closest Temple to us, so the venue was free, my Mother made my wedding dress and all of the other dresses for the wedding as well (all 8 of them). I think the fabric for all of that came to around $500.00. My oldest sister made my veil and my flower arrangements and did all of the decor for the reception. I have absolutely no clue how much that wedding Donna and Lance were supposed to have would have cost Donna and her family.

Aw, no comments on the last chapter? It was an alternate take on the rooftop scene.

This was very satisfying to write. If only he'd gone further. Well, maybe another time. ;)

Sylvia's reasons will be explained in the next story. Mostly toward the end.

I don't know. I think most cost more than they need to. And I suspect that what happened to HC Clemens hurt them financially.
