Chapter One

Donna Noble didn't like cleaning her own flat let alone the TARDIS.

She was in the attic, sorting through boxes, when she found an old teddy bear and looked at it.

"Put that back!" said the voice behind her and she turned looking at the Doctor.

He stood in the doorway wearing a blue suit, a white shirt, a black tie, a long brown coat and red and white plimsolls.

"I was just…" said Donna when he walked closer and snatched the teddy bear out of her hands. "Hey!"

The Doctor held onto the small bear when he brushed back some of his dark brown hair and sighed.

"Sorry," said the Doctor.

"So, what's the story with that? Was it hers?" asked Donna.

"Who's?"

"Rose."

"No," said the Doctor softly. "It was mine."

Donna looked at him when he walked out of the room, down the stairs, down the hallway and headed for his bedroom. He went inside when he closed the door and sat on the bed. He placed the pillows behind his head when he looked at the teddy bear and smiled.

He looked at the ceiling when he held the teddy bear tightly to his chest and one of his hearts thumped against it.

"Rose," whispered the Doctor when his mind went back to a time when her mother, Jackie, had accidentally used a boomul to change him, mentally, into a two year old and he softly laughed.


"Come back here!" shouted Rose Tyler and she chased after the Doctor and he headed straight for a table filled with baked goods.

"Stop!" shouted Jackie Tyler when the Doctor stopped at the table and looked at what was there.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" said the Doctor when he picked up what looked like a small banana cake and had swirls of whipped cream on the top.

"Put that down!" said Rose when he looked at her and frowned.

"Want one!" said the Doctor and Rose locked eyes with him.

"No! Sugar is bad for you!" Rose said when Jackie walked closer and looked at it.

"Oh, let him have one," Jackie said when she looked at the owner of the stall and smiled.

"Mum, no, he can't ha…" said Rose and the Doctor stamped his right foot.

"Want it! Mummy, pwease, can I!?" asked the Doctor.

"Of course you can, Sweetie."

"Be two shivs, Sye," said the owner of the stand and Rose took out the silver coins the Doctor had given her. She handed two of them to the owner when the Doctor took the cake and shoved most of it into his mouth.

"No, Sweetie, that's much! You'll choke!" said Jackie as she tried to wiped his mouth and the Doctor moved trying to avoid her hands.

"Nonono!" shouted the Doctor as he finished the cake off and had whipped cream all over his mouth. He licked his fingers then he wiped his mouth on the sleeve of the long brown coat. "Mowe!"

"NO!" said Rose.

Jackie paid for another cake when she handed it to the Doctor and he ate it.

Jackie bought him four more as he shook a bit and giggled.

"Mowe!" said the Doctor and Rose growled.

"No more!" said Rose.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, one more won't hurt him," said Jackie when she paid for one more and the Doctor smiled.

He ate the last one then looked around when he saw something and smiled.

"Bawwoons!" shouted the Doctor then laughed and jumped up and down.

He ran off as they followed and Rose sighed.

"This is why you don't give him sugar. It makes him hyper," said Rose.

"Now you tell me!" said Jackie and they ran to catch up with him.
