Alyssa landed in the Tardis in the exact same spot she was in before she jumped she looked around and saw the Tenth Doctor walking around the console putting in Coordinates to go somewhere. A smile broke out across her face when she saw Donna watching what the Doctor was doing. "So Where you two off two?" The Doctor looked up at her with a big smile but before he ran over to her he asked:

"Where did you just come from?" Alyssa blinked when Donna slammed into her with a hug. Alyssa instantly hugged her back and said

"Hello!" Donna was pulled away from her by the Doctor, who said once again "Where did you just come from?"
"When you first met me." the doctor pulled back and said, "Donna this is the first time Alyssa has met you." Donna looked at her and reeled back a bit as if she'd been slapped. She didn't know who the women was

"Alyssa but that is not what...." Her sentence was cut off by the Doctor covering her mouth. The Doctor whispered something into her ear and uncovered her mouth. Donna did an Oh gesture with her mouth, before smiling once again. Alyssa took notice to the wedding ring that was on The Doctor's left hand. She pulled out her notebook and wrote down that it was before season 4 when the doctor had got it. She flipped the book closed and stuffed it back into her pocket before the Doctor could ask for what she was doing.

"Rome! We were going to Rome unless you want to go somewhere else." He said, when he pulled away.

"No Rome is fine just perfect." She said smiling. The Doctor went back to piloting the Tardis and soon they landed. Alyssa smiled and took out her notebook once again and wrote down the rest of the previous journey before following The Doctor and Donna outside the Tardis she looked around and her smile faded when she realized what episode she was in.

"Ancient Rome. Well, not for them, obviously. To all intents and purposes, right now, this is brand new Rome."

"Oh, my God. it's, it's so Roman. This is fantastic." Donna said looking around, The Doctor laughed but Alyssa couldn't help but look around because of how beautiful everything was. "I'm here, in Rome. Donna Noble in Rome. This is just weird. I mean, everyone here's dead."

"Well, don't tell them that," Alyssa said before walking forward a bit

"Hold on a minute. That sign over there's in English. Are you having me on? Are we in Epcot?"

"No, no, no, no. That's the Tardis translation circuits. Just makes it look like English. Speech as well. You're talking Latin right now." Alyssa said as she went back to leaning against the Tardis

"Seriously?" The Doctor and alyssa both nodded, and she continued enjoying simply the fact that she was speaking Latin.

"I just said seriously in Latin."

"Oh, yeah."

"What if I said something in actual Latin, like Veni, Vidi, Vici? My dad said that when he came back from football. If I said Veni, Vidi, Vici to that lot, what would it sound like?"

"I'm not sure. You have to think of difficult questions, don't you?"

"You would sound Celtic, Welsh to them," Alyssa responded, The Doctor smiled down at Alyssa and said, "Ah, that actually makes sense." Then all of them started down the road to explore what they thought was Rome but Alyssa knew to not be.

"Don't our clothes look a bit odd?"

"Nah. Ancient Rome, anything goes. It's like Soho, but bigger."

"You've been here before then?"

"Mmm. Ages ago. Before you ask, that fire had nothing to do with me. Well, a little bit. But I haven't got the chance to look around properly. Coliseum, Pantheon, Circus Maximus. You'd expect them to be looming by now. Where is everything? Try this way." As they walked down a street to find Rome's greatest buildings. Until they saw a hill, one lone hill
