"I said, no," Donna told them over the phone, the pair squashed into a telephone box as they spoke to Donna

"Sapphire waterfall. It's a waterfall made of sapphires." Dearest retorted

"The sight is supposed to be beautiful!" Morgana piped in

"This enormous jewel, the size of a glacier reaches the Cliffs of Oblivion and then shatters into sapphires at the edge. They fall a hundred thousand feet into a crystal ravine." The Doctor tried to coax her

"I bet you say that to all the girls." Donna joked

"how do you think I got Morgana to agree? My dashing good looks?" the Doctor asked

"it was partly your big brown eyes, can't say no to them" Morgana informed him, and he snickered

"Oh, come on. They're boarding now. Four hours, that's all it takes." He pleaded

"No, that's four hours there and four hours back. That's like a school trip, I'd rather go sunbathing and you have Morgana with you, have a date" Donna said

"oh, he's only going to ramble for eight hours straight, I only have so much control before I snap" Morgana joked but squealed when the Doctor pinched her

"You be careful, that's Xtonic sunlight." The Doctor warned as he smiled

"Oh, I'm safe. It says in the brochure this glass is fifteen feet thick." Donna brushed off, her voice cheery

"All right, I give up. We'll be back for dinner. We'll try that anti-gravity restaurant. With bibs." He said perking up

"That's a date. Well, not a date. Oh, you know what I mean. Oh, get off." Donna declared

"if I took you on a date, Donna, I'd sweep you off your feet" Morgana interjected

"See you later." The Doctor said

"bye, bye Donna" Morgana called

"Oi. you two be careful, all right? Are you sure you don't want a spa day?" Donna questioned

"Nah." He dragged out

"where's the fun in that? And Nah, I'll stick with Dearest, I'm sure you can do with some time away from us" Morgana said playfully and Donna laughed

"Taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight? What could possibly go wrong?" Dearest asked before he hung the phone up

"oh, you've totally just jinxed us" Morgana complained

He kissed her cheek "we'll be fine sweetheart, come on" he grabbed her hand and tugged her from the phone box as she playfully dragged her feet, enjoying his pouting.

They quickly boarded the bus ship and took their seats, Dearest eagerly looking around, excited for the trip, she idly watched the other passengers

"Complimentary juice pack and complimentary peanuts." The Hostess said as she handed them out to the passengers

"Just the headphones, please." A woman in a blue suit requested

"There you go." The Hostess replied before moving onto them

"That's the headphones for channels one to thirty-six. Modem link for 3D vidgames. Complimentary earplugs. Complimentary slippers. Complimentary juice pack and complimentary peanuts. I must warn you some products may contain nuts." The hostess listed with a smile

"That'll be the peanuts." The Doctor said with a smile

"Enjoy your trip." The Hostess wished

"Oh, I can't wait. Allons-y." he cheered
