This story is based off of a Doctor Who episode, I do not own the plot or any of its charcters aside from Mary.
As Donna and The Doctor were running up to the house of a man named Caecilius, with Mary close behind, the ground begins to shake. They run into the house and The Doctor catches a bust, preventing it from falling, and is imediatly face to face with Caecilius. The room has a pond in the middle with a boy, possibly his son, sitting by it and a woman, possibly his wife, standing by him.
"Oh, hello there!" The Doctor says
"Well thank you, but we are not seeing visitors at the moment. We are expecting someone." At that moment Mary runs in and says
"Yep, that's us"
"Well, who are you?" The Doctor hestitates, then says
"I am ... Sparticus"
"And so am I" Donna adds. Caecilius looks at Mary and asks
"Are you Sparticus as well?" She takes a breath, then says
"No, just a buisness partner, Roranicus"
"Well, Roranicus, why are you wearing a nightdress?" she looks down at herself and says
"Oh, I hadn't even noticed I was wearing it. Um, do you mind if I borrow your coat?" She asks the Doctor
"No, of course not." He takes off his trench coat and she puts it on.
"So, what are you all doing here?" Caecilius asks. Mary goes into the inner pocket of the trench coat and pulls out his psychic paper.
"Sparticus and Sparticus, marble inspection company"
"Oh, by the gods, theres come an inspection!" his wife says. The Doctor and Donna stare at Mary, dumbfounded. Not only does she know how to use psychic paper, but she knows what pocket it's in. She walks into the house and observed the marble suroundings.
"This is a very nice home you have, any of it yours?"
"I built the pond in the center and some of the colums"
"Very impressive! But that over there doesn't look like marble" She walks directly to the TARDIS, a big, beautiful, blue box, and the Doctor and Donna follow.
"Oh, I didn't make that. It's just a bit of decoration. I just bought it today, actually" She rubs the door of the TARDIS and says
"I can understand why. Love the color." she winks as the Doctor passes. "But we'll probably have to take it in for further inspection, just a day or two." She says, leaning against the TARDIS. Donna steps forward and says
"Maybe you and your family can go on a vacation while it's out."
"What ever for?" Caecilius asks
"Well, for the volcano"
"I'm sorry, the what-ano?"
"The great big volcano right on your doorstep" she repeats. The Doctor grabs her shoulders and says
"Oh, Sparticus, how rude. We haven't even greeted the household gods yet." He leads them over to a table with a carving of two roman gods above it. With Donna at his left and Mary at his right, he sprinkles water onto the two carvings.
"Donna, for all they know,vesuvius is just a mountain. The romans don't even have a word for volcano yet"
"Oh, great, they can learn a new word as they burn to death"
"Shut up, Donna. We cant change history" Donna looks him in the eye and says
"I don't know what crowd you've been rolling with but you're not telling me to shut up!" Behind them, a man with one arm hidden under a cape and four of his guards come in. One of the guards say
"Announcing, Lucius Petrus Dextrus. Cheif augor of the state."
