[Donna appears, holding up a jar. It should be noted she looks pretty proud of herself. The jar is making a low, angry buzzing noise]

I caught it! It took all morning to catch the little bugger but I got'em! Knew I would. [now she's talking to the jar, which contains...a bee] Don't suppose you'd want to come back to Earth with me, would you? Maybe I should give you a proper name, Mister Bee...

[Appears suddenly behind Donna and leans over her shoulder] How about Arthur?

[gives a start but turns to face her] I dunno. Think he looks like an Arthur?

[Takes a step backwards, smirking] Maybe... Is it definitely a boy?

I dunno. Depends on the sort of bee it is. I can't exactly tell. It's probably a bloke bee. [holding the jar up now, trying to figure it out]

Kind of hard to tell isn't it?

It's either a Arthur or a Fred.

I sort of like Fred. I had this boyfriend once named Fredrick and he was a bit like a bee.

My great Grandfather was called Fred... Though apparently he was pretty miserable.

Really? My Gramps is named Wilfred! He's not miserable, though. Sorry to hear that.

Cool, I've always liked the name Wilfred.

Nah... Didn't really affect me, he died years before I was born... Though apparently he had every right to be miserable.

Me too! All right, it's decided. His name is Wilfred, Fred for short.

Oh, that's still sad, though. I'm glad I know my Gramps.

It suits him [Grin]

At least I had my parents and grandmother... Well, for a while at least.

There any particular reason you're holding a bee in a jar? What's it in for: armed robbery?

... Miss Noble, I doubt Earth needs alien bees.

I think they've pretty much filled their bee quota, actually.

You may be the first I've met to keep a pet bee.

I think so, too. [grins back]

Sorry. Are things all right now?

He's been a busy little bee, that's why. Actually, it's because I thought maybe I could take him home.

Well that just means you'll remember it well.

Not really! The bees are disappearing.

What if it's an all right alien bee?

[a pause] Absolutely no troubles involved with it?

[Bites lip and then forces a small smile] Mostly.

[Have a grinning Aniki.] Don't have bees on that Earth of yours?

Donna. Why do you have a bee in a jar?

[smiles a little back] Well, anything I can do?
