May 27, 1964
Donna's POV
When I woke up the first time, it was nearly one in the afternoon. John was still asleep beside me, and I was mad that I'd woken up at all.
I didn't move from where I was laying. Instead, I pulled the blankets around me closer and nuzzled closer to John, careful not to wake him.
I counted to myself in my head, practically begging to fall back asleep.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...

The second time I woke up, John was no longer next to me. I sat up and looked at the clock that read 2:30PM. Knowing that if I didn't get up now, I'd never sleep through the night, I climbed out of the bed, wrapping a fleece blanket around my shoulders before retreating downstairs to find John.
He was rummaging around in the kitchen when I made it down there. He heard me enter the room and looked up.
"All this food is going bad," he said.
"Yeah? Maybe I'll have to go to the store," I answered, sitting down on a stool in front of the counter.
"Not today," he said immediately.
"Why not?"
He shrugged. "I just thought we could lay around all day."
I nodded. "That sounds like a nice plan. But what are we going to eat?"
"We'll go get something," he said.
"Well, I've got no objections."
"I figured ye wouldn't," he answered with a smile, coming to lean against the counter. "Did ye sleep well?"
"Like a baby," I replied teasingly.
"Very good," he said. "Happy to be home?"
"Of course I am. It feels like it's been ages."
"Doesn't it?" He laughed. "How about we get dressed and go get some..." He looked at his watch. "Lunch?"
I smiled. "That sounds like a wonderful idea."
He ran around the counter and took me off the chair and carried me towards the stairs. "Let's go!" he chanted as I roped my arms around his neck and laughed.
He carried me upstairs and then dropped me onto the bed and turned to find something to wear, resurfacing with a t-shirt and some jeans.
"How's this?" he asked. "You think that if I'm not in a suit then the fans won't recognize me?"
"Well," I responded, sitting on my knees and looking at him. "It's never stopped them before, has it?"
He pondered on my words for a moment. "No, it hasn't. You're right." Then, he shrugged. "It's okay. I'll never escape it. Time to come to terms with the fact that they just love me!"
I laughed. "Right."
"C'mon, Donna! Get all dressed up so we can go get our food!" He pranced off towards our bathroom without another word.
I pulled myself up off the bed, dropping the blanket I'd had behind me, immediately shivering against the cold. I scrambled over to the dresser and slipped out of my nightgown and into the first thing that I could find, which turned out to be a yellow sundress.
When I turned to go towards the bathroom, I caught John, already changed, staring at me, turning me into a blushing mess.
"So pretty, she is!" he quipped as I slipped by him to brush my hair. In the mirror, I saw him turn around so that he was facing me this way. "I think I can sense what you're about to say," he said when I opened my mouth to talk.
