The New Doctor's wearing a blue suit and a burgundy top, standing on the railings near the TARDIS doors. He jumps off pulling on his blue jacket.

"All repaired! Lovely-Shh! No-one knows we're here-Gotta keep quiet-Silent running, like on submarines when they can't even drop a spanner-Don't drop a spanner-I like blue, what do you think ?" The New Doctor rambles, looking at me and Donna.

"I prefer the pin stripe" I smiled.

"You-are-bonkers!" Donna said looking at him, we both looked at her at the same time "Both of you!"

"Why ?! What's wrong with blue ?" The Doctor asked, offended.

"I mean come-on Donna! I know blue isn't the best but it does bring out his eyes" I said with a smile.

"Is that what Time Lords do ? Lop a bit off, grow another one ? You're like worms!" Donna said frantically.

"No, no, no, no, no, I'm unique-Never been another like me! Because all that regeneration energy went into the hand-look at my hand, I love that hand..." He said, wiggling his fingers in my face then in his own "But then you touched it--WHAM!" Donna jumped when he said this "Shhh...instantaneous biological metacrisis-I grew...out of you-Still, could be worse" The Doctor said looking at me. I let out a small chuckle, knowing well how he grew.

"Oi! Watch it, spaceman" Donna said her accent thick.

"Oi! Watch it, Earth-girl-Oh!" The New Doctor, taken back at what he said. I almost burst into a fit of laughter, Donna and The Doctor stared at each other and then at me then at each other "I sound like you! I sound all...all sort of, rough" He said.

"Oi!" She retorted, looking at him hard.

"Oi!" He replied back.

"Oi!" She said again. I wonder how long this could go on, without me trying not to laugh.

"Spanners, shh!" The Doctor said making Donna silent, her lips pursed "Must've picked up a bit of your voice, that's all-Is it ? Did I ? No-Oh! You are kidding me, no WAY-One heart..." He says, feeling his chest running over to me, putting my hand on his chest "I've got one heart! This body...has got only one heart!"

I looked at him and put both hands on his chest. This must mean...

"He only has one heart" I sighed, only feeling one heart beat. She feels his chest as well.

"What ?" She says gob smacked "What, like you're human ?" She asked, as The New Doctor walked away almost sulking.

"Oh, that's disgusting" He whined.

"Oi!" Donna said.

"Oi!" The Doctor replied.

"Not this again!" I exasperated.

"Stop it!" Donna said crossly.

"No, wait, I'm...part Time Lord, part human..." The Doctor said, looking at Donna and then and me "Well, isn't that wizard ?" He asked, a tinge of sadness mixed with happiness.

"Quite" I said with a slight smile.

"Easy for you to say" He said crossing his arms over his chest, slightly pouting. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"I kept hearing that noise...that heartbeat" Donna said, still stunned.

"Oh, that was me-My single heart" He says, he goes over to the console and waves his hands dismissively "'Cos I'm a--complicated event in time and space, must've rippled back..."

"Converging on you" I said looking at her.

"But why me ?" Donna asked confused.

"Because you're special" The Doctor said, looking over at her from behind the main column.
