Chapter 1: Smith, Jones, and Parker…
"I better get home Addie, talk to you later!" A young brunette girl said to her best friend. Her name was Rachel Parker. She was a brunette girl with a navy blue streak in her hair, had grey-ish blue eyes, and had a thick Scottish accent. "I'm going to miss the only episode of Doctor Who I haven't watched yet!" She said to her blonde friend Addison. Addison was just a plain blonde, like any other blonde girl out there. "Oh, which episode?" Addison chuckled. Rachel rolled her eyes and sighed, "'Smith and Jones', I've watched every episode, without using Netflix and 'Smith and Jones' is the only one I haven't watched yet! So bye!" and just like that, Rachel ran off and disappeared in the distance.
"Alright! Time to watch some Doctor Who!" Rachel exclaimed, and turned on the TV.
An hour later after the episode finished, she yawned and sleepily mumbled, "I wonder if all this will happen to me…" and fell into a deep sleep.
She then heard a crowd of people talking and snapped her eyes open. Where am I? She wondered, and then turned around to see Martha Jones walking towards her, "Hey Rachel! How's it going?" she exclaimed.
Rachel tried not to act confused while smiling and said, "Can you tell me who I am? I sort of hit my head hard." Rachel asked with her thick Scottish accent. Martha smiled, rolled her eyes and said, "You are Rachel Parker, my best friend! You must really hit your head hard enough to lose about a half your memory eh?" Martha laughed.
"Anyways, come one Rach, we don't want to be late for work! Also Tish called, dad isn't listening, and mum's going mental! And-"Then a man came up to both of them, he said, "Like so," and took off his tie then happily said, "See?" and walked away. Ha, that must be the Doctor. Rachel thought.
They arrived at the Royal Hope Hospital and a man in full motorcycle gear bumps into Martha. "Oi! Watch it mate!" The figure turned, stared at Martha, then walks on.
Inside at their lockers, Rachel and Martha put on their white coats, and then both girls got an electric shock from the door.
"I was alright 'till this morning, and then, I don't know, I woke up and I felt all dizzy again. It was worse than when I came in." A middle aged woman complained. Hmm, I remember her from this episode but what was her name? Rachel thought.
The consultant Mr. Stoker thought about it, and then said, "Pulse is slightly thready. Well, let's see what Britain's finest might suggest. Any ideas, Morgenstern?" He looked over at a nervous young man, and he said, "Dizziness can be a sign of early onset diabetes." Stoker smiled and explained, "Hardly onset, if you'll forgive me, Miss Finnegan."
Oh yeahh, it was Finnegan! Rachel thought to herself, trying not to smile. "Any more ideas? Swales?" Stoker said as he turned to a young woman. Swales straightened herself up and suggested, "Er, we could recommend a CT scan." Stoker sighed in annoyance, "And spend all our money? Jones? Parker?" He turned to Martha and Rachel. Martha said, "We could take bloods," "and check for Meniere's disease." Rachel said finishing Martha's sentence.
Stoker rolled his eyes and said, "Or we could simply ask the patient. What did you have for dinner last night? " "I had salad." Finnegan replied. "And the night before?" "Salad again." Finnegan said sounding slightly annoyed. Stoker calmly said, "And salad every night for the past week, contrary to my instructions. Salt deficiency, that's all. Simple, honest salt."
He was leading the group to the next patient and said, "Hippocrates himself expounded on the virtues of salt. Recommended the inhalation of steam from sea water. Though no doubt if he'd been afflicted with my students, results might have been rather more colorful.''
Stoker pushes the curtain around a bed, smiled, and said, "Now then. Mr. Smith, a very good morning to you. How are you today?" OH MY GOD THAT'S THE DOCTOR AND HE'S ONE OF OUR PATIENTS EEEEK! Rachel thought and squealed inside her mind. The Doctor looked over at Rachel; he loved her at once, like love at first sight.
He kept looking at Rachel and dreamily said, "Oh, not so bad. Still a bit, you know, blah." Stoker cleared his throat and said, "John Smith, admitted yesterday with severe abdominal pains. Parker, why don't you see what you can find? Amaze me." Rachel perked up, took the stethoscope, but then realized Martha was about to talk, and paid attention to her.
Martha had a serious look on her face and said, "That wasn't very clever, running around outside, was it?"
The Doctor snapped back to reality and asked, "Sorry?" "On Chancellor Street this morning? You came up to me and Rachel and took your tie off."
The Doctor looked really confused "Really? What did I do that for?" Martha looked really annoyed and said, "I don't know, you just did." The Doctor replied "Not me. I was here, in bed. Ask the nurses." Martha was really confused and asked, "Well, that's weird, 'cause it looked like you. Have you got a brother?" The Doctor went back to staring at Rachel and realized she stared back. He dreamily replied, "No, not any more. Just me."
Stoker, sounding a bit impatient, said to Rachel, "As time passes and I grow ever more infirm and weary, Miss Parker." Rachel blushed and said, "Sorry, right. "
She felt really nervous and listened to the Doctor's heartbeats, surprisingly it soothed her down. She looked at the Doctor, and then he winked at her.
Stoker sounded really annoyed as he calmly said, "I weep for future generations. Are you having trouble locating the heart Miss Parker?" Rachel replied, "Uh, I don't know. Stomach cramps?"
"That is a symptom, not a diagnosis. And you rather failed basic techniques by not consulting first with the patient's chart. And I guess you were too busy staring at the patient- Ouch!" Stocker gets and electric shock from the metal clip.
Rachel exclaimed, "That happened to Martha and me this morning!" The young man replied by saying, "I had the same this on the door handle!" and the young woman agreed saying, "And me on the lift!" Stoker chuckled and replied, "That's only to be expected. There's a thunderstorm moving in and lightning is a form of static electricity, as was first proven by. Anyone?"
The Doctor quickly responded, "Benjamin Franklin!" Stoker smiled and replied, "Correct." The Doctor looked into space and said, "My mate, Ben. That was a day and a half. I got rope burns off that kite, and then I got soaked… And then I got electrocuted!" Stoker looked confused and said, "Quite, Moving on. I think perhaps a visit from a psychiatric, and next we have…"
The Doctor and Rachel stared at each other for quite a long time until they got to the next patient.
Rachel was making coffee for both Martha and herself while Martha was on the phone with Tish. Martha proudly replied to Tish "No, listen, I've worked out a plan. We tell Annelise that the buffet tonight is one hundred per cent carbohydrate, and she won't turn up."
"That's our inheritance she's spending, on fake tan. Tell you what, I'm not that far away, I'll drop by for a sandwich and we can draw up a battle plan."
"In this weather? I'm not going out. It's pouring down!" Hm, I can't remember why this happened, curse my bad memory Rachel thought to herself
Tish was confused and said, "It's not raining here. That's weird. It's raining right on top of you, I can see it, but it's dry where I am."
"Well you just got lucky."
"No but it's like in cartoons. You know, when a man's got a cloud over his head."
"Yeah but listen, I'll tell you what we'll do." The Doctor walked past wearing a dressing gown, and he stopped in front of the door to get a nice long stare at Rachel, and then walked on.
And Martha kept explaining, "We tell Dad and Annalise to get there early, about seven thirty, and we tell Leo get there at the same time so we can do all that birthday stuff. We tell Mum to get there for about eight thirty, nine, and that gives me time to have a word with Annalise, and-"
Rachel got scared when she looked out the window; she grabbed her arm and said, "Martha…"
"What?"
"The rain…"
"It's only rain Rachel."
Tish said through the phone, "Martha have you seen the rain?"
Martha asked, "Why's everyone fussing about the rain?"
Tish and Rachel said in unison, "The rain is going up…"
The hospital tilted from side to side a lot while thunder and lightning struck.
The girls screamed as loud as they can as glass fell to the ground smashing.
Martha was the first one to say, "What the hell was that?"
"Are you alright?"
"I think so, yeah. It felt like an earthquake, or-"
"Martha? It's night. Look. It was lunchtime."
"It's not night."
"But it's got to be. It's dark."
Martha looked through the window and looked horrified, "We're on the moon…"
Rachel tried to look more horrified as Martha, which she successfully did. So she pumped her fist in her mind. "We can't be!" Martha replied, not arguing, "We're on the moon. We're on the bloody moon."
They were running to the Orthopedic Ward when Finnegan asked, "Have you seen-"Martha kept running, Rachel slowed down and said, "We're sorry Miss Finnegan, we can't!" and she ran and caught up with Martha.
Martha exclaimed, "All right now, everyone back to bed, we've got an emergency but we'll sort it out! Don't worry!" Rachel saw the Doctor draw back the curtain around his bed. And she remembered, Oh yeah! She ran towards the window and started to open it. Martha yelled, "What the hell are you doing? Don't do that! We'll lose all the air!"
Rachel turned to Martha and explained, "But they're not exactly air tight. If the air was going to get sucked out it would have happened straight away, but it didn't. So how come?"
Martha smiled at Rachel and said, "Ah, good point!"
The Doctor got dresses behind the curtain and pulled it open, "Yes! Very good point! Brilliant in fact! What were your names?" But he didn't look at both of them, he looked directly at Rachel.
Rachel blushed and said, "I'm Rachel, and this is Martha Jones." She gestured over to Martha, and Martha waved to the Doctor.
The Doctor walked another step closer to Rachel, "It was Parker, wasn't it? Well then, Rachel Parker, the question is, how are we still breathing?" Martha yelled, "We can't be!"
The Doctor looked at Martha and replied, "Obviously we are, so don't waste my time. Martha, what have we got? Is there a balcony on this floor, or a veranda, or-"Rachel spoke up and said, "By the patient's lounge, yeah."
The Doctor flirtatiously asked Rachel, "Fancy going out?"
Rachel replied nervously, "Okay then,"
"We might die,"
"We might not,"
"Good. Come one. Both of you."
They arrived at the glass doors to the balcony, and they opened the doors and step out. They all take a deep breath.
Martha asked, "We've got air. How does that work?"
The Doctor replied, "Just be glad it does."
"Rachel and I have got a party tonight. It's my brother's 21st. She was invited, and my mother's going to be really, really-"
Rachel stared into space not knowing the Doctor was staring at her, he placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned to look at the Doctor. He asked, "You okay?"
Rachel replied, "Yeah."
"Sure?"
"Yeah."
"Want to go back in?"
"No way. I mean, we could die any minute, but all the same, it's beautiful…"
"Do you think?"
"How many people want to go to the moon?"
Martha finished her sentence, "And here we are…"
The Doctor said, "Standing in the Earthlight."
Martha looked at him confused, "What do you think happened?"
The Doctor asked her, "What do you think happened?"
"Extraterrestrial. It's got to be. I don't know, a few years ago that would have sounded mad, but these days? That spaceship flying into Big Ben, Christmas, those Cybermen things. I had a cousin. Adeola. She worked at Canary Wharf. She never came home." Martha talked really fast, but surprisingly it was understandable.
The Doctor said sadly, "I'm sorry…"
"Yeah."
"I was there in the battle."
There was silence for a few seconds until Rachel spoke up, "Guys, I have something to confess."
The Doctor and Martha turned to her and listened closely.
"Well, I'm actually live in a Parallel universe where there's a show called Doctor Who and you guys are the main characters, so basically I know everything about your lives, future and past."
Martha looked really uncomfortable and the Doctor looked fascinated. Martha asked her, "Do you know if we'll get out of this problem?" Rachel looked at her and said, "I'm sorry Martha, but I can't tell you, it's dangerous to know your own future."
Martha confidently said to both of them, "I promise you Rachel, Mr. Smith, we will find a way out. If we can travel to the moon, then we can travel back. There's got to be a way."
Rachel told her, "It's not Smith. That's not his real name."
Martha looked at the Doctor and asked, "Who are you then?"
The Doctor replied, "I'm the Doctor." Martha smirked, "Yeah if I can pass my exams. What is it then, Doctor Smith?"
"Just the Doctor."
"What people call you the Doctor?"
"Yeah"
"Well, I'm not. As far as I'm concerned, you've got to earn that title!"
The doctor picked up a pebble, and then said, "Well, I'd better make a start, then. Let's have a look, there must be some sort of-"he threw it out and it bounces off. Rachel finished his sentence, "Forcefield keeping the air in." Martha looked shocked, she asked, "But if that's like a bubble sealing us in, that means this is the only air we've got. What happens when it runs out?" The Doctor asked both girls, "How many people in this hospital?" Martha answered, "We don't know. Around a thousand?" The Doctor replied, "One thousand people suffocating…"
Martha looked horrified, she asked them, "Why would anyone do that?" Rachel looked outside, and answered, "Head's up! Ask them yourself!" And 3 massive columnar pass overhead and land nearby. Columns of marching beings come stomping out.
Martha looked more horrified, she exclaimed, "Aliens! They're aliens! Real, proper aliens!"
The Doctor and Rachel simply said in unison, "Judoon."
The Doctor, Rachel, and Martha went over to the Mezzanine level to watch it all from above. The Doctor giggled, "Oh, look down there, you've got a little shop! I like a little shop!" Martha asked annoyed, "Never mind that! What are the Judoon?" The Doctor opened his mouth to say something, but Rachel said something instead, "They're like police. Well, police for hire. They're more like interplanetary thugs." The Doctor smiled at her and she blushed a really deep red. Martha asked, "And they brought us to the moon?" The Doctor spoke this time and said, "Neutral territory. According to galactic law, they've got no jurisdiction over the Earth, and they isolated it. That rain, lightning? That was them, using an H2O scoop."
"What are you on about, galactic law? Where'd you get that from? If they're police, are we under arrest? Are we trespassing on the moon or something?"
Rachel rolled her eyes and said, "No, but I like that. Good thinking. No, I wish it were that simple. They're making a catalogue. That means they're after something non-human, which is very bad news for him." and gestured towards the Doctor who was nodding. Martha widened her eyes, "Why?" The Doctor and Rachel looked at her and they both raised an eyebrow. Martha replied, "Oh you're kidding me. Don't be ridiculous! Stop looking at me like that!" The Doctor started waddling away and said to the girls, "Come on then."
They were at the Admin office, the Doctor was using is sonic screwdriver on a computer with Rachel sitting next to him. Martha turned and told them, "They've reached the third floor. What's that thing?" Rachel turned to look at Martha, "Sonic Screwdriver."
Martha rolled her eyes, "Well if you're not going to answer me properly." This time the Doctor turned and answered, "No, really, it is. It's a screwdriver, and it's sonic. Look." He showed the sonic screwdriver to Martha who rolled her eyes again. "What else have you got a laser spanner?"
The Doctor simply replied, "I did, but it was stolen by Emily Pankhurst, cheeky woman. Oh, this computer! The Judoon must have locked it down. Judoon platoon upon the moon. Because I was just travelling past. I swear I was just wandering. I wasn't looking for trouble, honestly, I wasn't, but I noticed these plasma coils around the hospital, and that lightning, that's a plasma coil. Been building up for two days now, so I checked in. I thought something was going on inside. It turns out the plasma coils were the Judoon up above."
The really confused Martha asked, "But what are they looking for?" The Doctor answered, "Something that looks human but isn't."
"Like you apparently." Rachel giggled and said, "Like him, but not him." Martha asked, "Haven't they got a photo?" The Doctor turned from his work to look at Martha, "Well, might be a shape-changer."
Martha looked like she was going to face palm herself but asked, "Whatever it is, can't you just leave the Judoon to find it?"
"If they declare the hospital guilty of harboring a fugitive, they'll sentence it to execution."
"All of us?"
"Oh yes. If I can find this thing first. Oh! You see, they're thick! Judoon are thick! They are completely thick! They wiped the records. Oh, that's clever."
Sorry Doctor gotta steal your line Rachel thought and said, "I don't know. Say, any patient admitted in the past week with unusual symptoms. Maybe there's a back-up."Martha headed towards the door and said, "Just keep working. I'll go ask Mr. Stoker. He might know."
A few minutes later Martha ran into the Doctor and Rachel. "I've restored the back-up." The Doctor told Martha.
She had a look on her face that looked kind of like a mixture of horrified and relieved, and she said, "I found her." The Doctor and Rachel widened their eyes and said in unison, "You did what?" and one of the motorcycle men broke down Stoker's office door.
And in unison (again) the Doctor and Rachel said, "Run!" They head down the stairs, but meet Judoon coming off and divert onto another floor, followed by a motorcycle man.
They ran into a room and the Doctor sonics the door lock then Rachel and Martha get behind the radiation screen. "When I say now, press the button." Martha looked at him and said, "But I don't know which one." Rachel told Martha, "I know which one!"
The Doctor was messing with the x-ray machine while the man was battering the door off its hinges. It finally knocked down the door and came in.
The Doctor turned to Rachel and yelled, "Now!" Rachel pressed the button, and the man gets a massive dose of radiation and falls face down. Rachel quickly turned off the machine.
Martha asked, "What'd you do?" The Doctor simply answered, "Increased the radiation. by five thousand percent. Killed him dead."
Martha (again) asked, "But isn't that going to kill you?" Ah, Martha, you have so many questions! Rachel thought.
The Doctor explained, "Nah, it's only roentgen radiation. We used to play with roentgen bricks in the nursery. It's safe for you to come out. I've absorbed it all. All I need to do is expel it. If I concentrate I can shake the radiation out of my body and into one spot. It's in my left shoe. Here we go, here we go. Easy does it. Out, out, out, out, out. Out, out. Ah, ah, ah, ah! It is, it is, it is, it is, it is hot. Hold on." and dumped this left shoe in the trash can. "Done."
Martha looked at him confused, "You're completely mad." Rachel spoke up (finally), "Ah, you're right! He looks daft with one shoe." The Doctor looked down at his feet and said, "Good point Rachel." And he gets rid of the other shoe. "Barefoot on the moon." And Rachel laughed really hard in her mind. She was trying to hold back a giggle.
Martha asked, "So what is that thing? And where's it from, the planet Zovirax?" Rachel answered, "It's just a Slab. They're called Slabs. Basic slave drones. See? Solid leather, all the way through. Someone has got one hell of a fetish."
"But it was that woman, Miss Finnegan. It was working for her, just like a servant."
Rachel and the Doctor saw that he left his sonic screwdriver in the x-ray machine, and it was fried. The Doctor looked at it and said, "My sonic screwdriver," Martha was trying to talk to him, "She was one of the patients but," Rachel gasped, "Oh my god your sonic screwdriver,"
Martha sounded a bit annoyed but kept explaining, "She had a straw like some kind of vampire," The Doctor kept complaining, "I loved my sonic screwdriver-"Martha screamed, "Doctor! Rachel!" And the Doctor threw the sonic screwdriver over his shoulder. Then said, "Sorry, you called me Doctor."
Martha rolled her eyes, "Anyway? Miss Finnegan is the alien. She was drinking Mr. Stoker's blood."
The Doctor widened his eyes and said, "Funny time to take a snack. You'd think she'd be hiding. Unless. No. Yes, that's it. Wait a minute. Yes! Shape-changer. Internal shape-changer. She wasn't drinking blood, she was assimilating it!"
Rachel finished his statement by adding, "If she can assimilate Mister Stoker's blood, mimic the biology, she'll register as human. We've got to find her and show the Judoon. Come on!"
The 3 ran but hid behind a water dispenser. The Doctor looked at it and stated, "That's the thing about Slabs. They always travel in pairs."
Martha looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
"What about me what?"
"Haven't you got back-up? You must have a partner or something?"
"Oh, Humans!"
Before he could say anything else, Rachel finished his question, "We're stuck on the moon running out of air with Judoon and a bloodsucking criminal, you're asking personal questions? Come on!"
Martha thought about it for a second, and then said, "I like that. Humans. I'm still not convinced you're an alien!"
They walk into a Judoon and surprisingly they scanned both the Doctor and Rachel. The leader of the Judoon group said, "Both non-human"
The Doctor and Martha looked at Rachel, Rachel widened her eyes, and they all screamed, "What?!" And they all ran, with weapons firing at the Doctor and Rachel.
They ran upstairs, and the Doctor said, "They've done this floor. Come on. The Judoon are logical and just a little bit thick. They won't go back to check a floor they've checked already. If we're lucky. Where's Mr. Stoker's office?" And the girls replied in unison, "This way." and the 3 ran to Stoker's office.
They arrived at Stoker's office and Martha said, "She's gone. She was here." Well of course, it's been 10 minutes! Rachel thought. They all saw Stoker's body is really pale. The Doctor said, "Drained him dry. Every last drop. I was right. She's a plasmavore."
"What's she doing on Earth?"
The Doctor was opening his mouth but Rachel said it first, "Hiding. On the run. Like Ronald Biggs in Rio de Janeiro. What's she doing now? She's still not safe. The Judoon could execute us all. Come on."
"Wait a minute." Martha walked over to Stoker and closed his eyes.
They were in the corridor and the Doctor was saying, "Think, think, think. If I was a plasmavore surrounded by police, what would I do?" he looks around and sees the sign to the MRI. "Ah, she's as clever as me. Almost." They hear the Judoon saying, "Find the non-humans. Execute." The Doctor turned to Martha and told her, "Martha, stay here. I need time. You've got to hold them up." Martha asked, "How do I do that?"
"Just forgive me for this. It could save a thousand lives. It means nothing. Honestly nothing." Then he kissed her. "And Rachel, this is not necessary but whatever." And he kissed Rachel but with more passion. When he let go he grabbed Rachel's hand and told her, "Come on!" Rachel asked, "Why me?"
"Well they cataloged me and you non-human and right now we need to go!" and he pulled her towards the MRI room.
There are flashes of light coming from the room and the Doctor and Rachel enters. The scanner itself has energy dancing all over it, and Florence is in the control booth, working. Rachel exclaimed, "Have you seen them? There are these things! These great big space rhino things! I mean rhinos from space! And we're on the moon! Great big space rhinos with guns on the moon!"
Then it was the Doctor's turn to talk, "And I only came in for my bunions, look. I mean, all fixed now. Perfectly good treatment. The nurses were lovely. I said to my wife, I said I'd recommend this place to anyone, but then we end up on the moon. And did I mention the rhinos?"
But Miss Finnegan just looked at them and commanded to the slab, "Hold them" Then the Slab came in and grabbed both of them by both arms, bundling the 4 arms in its arms like he was holding a stuffed teddy bear.
Rachel tried to look confused while saying, "Uh, that big uh, machine thing. Is it supposed to be making that noise?" Finnegan rolled her eyes while saying, "You wouldn't understand"
Then the Doctor spoke up, "But isn't that a magnetic resonance imaging thing? Like a ginormous sort of a magnet? I did magnetics GCSE. Well, I failed, but all the same."
"The magnetic setting now increased to fifty thousand Tesla."
"Ooo, that's a bit strong, isn't it?"
"It'll send out a magnetic pulse that'll fry the brain stems of every living thing within two hundred and fifty thousand miles. Except for me, safe in this room."
The Doctor was about to say something when Rachel said it for him, "But uh, hold on, hold on, he did geography GCSE. He passed that one. And he told me all about it. Doesn't that distance include the Earth?"
Miss Finnegan smiled and replied, "Only the side facing the moon. The other half will survive. Call it my little gift."
The Doctor said, "I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me, I'm a little out of my depth. I've spent the past fifteen years working as a postman. Hence the bunions. Why would you do that?"
"With everyone dead, the Judoon ships will be mine, to make my escape."
"No, that's weird. You're talking like you're some sort of an alien."
"Quite so."
Rachel acted surprised while saying, "No!"
"Oh yes."
The Doctor did the same while saying, "You're joshing me!"
"I am not."
"We're talking to an alien? In a hospital? What, has the place got an ET department?
"It's the perfect hiding place. Blood banks downstairs for a midnight feast, and all this equipment ready to arm myself with should the police come looking."
Rachel asked, still acting surprised, "So, those rhinos, they're looking for you?"
"Yes but I'm hidden."
"Right. Maybe that's why they're increasing they're scans."
"They're doing what?"
The Doctor said to Finnegan, "Big chief rhino boy, he said, no sign of a non-human, we must increase our scans up to setting two?"
Finnegan looked furious and scared at the same time, "I must appear to be human."
"Well, you're welcome to come home and meet the wife. She'd be honored. We can have cake."
"Why should I have cake? I've got my little straw."
"Oh, that's nice. Milkshake? I like banana."
Then Rachel giggled, "And I like blueberry!"
Finnegan smiled and said calmly, "You're quite the funny man. And yet, I think, laughing on purpose at the darkness. I think it's time you found some peace. Steady the man! If they increase their settings to three I will assimilate the girl."
Rachel looked horrified as the Slab forces the Doctor to his knees and turns his head so Florence has a clear shot at his jugular with her straw. He looked at Rachel with eyes that are saying 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry'
The Doctor asked, "What are you doing?"
Finnegan laughed, "I'm afraid this is going to hurt. But if it's any consolation, the dead don't tend to remember." and Rachel looked away as Finnegan sticks her straw into his vein and sucks in the blood.
A few minutes late Finnegan is still sucking away when the Judoon enter. The Slab drops the Doctor and Florence hides her straw in her handbag. The Slab also let go of Rachel and she ran over to the Doctor, kneeling beside him crying silently.
Florence tried to act scared, but failed, "Now see what you've done. This poor man just died of fright."
The Judoon said, "Scan him." They scanned him, then said, "Confirmation. Deceased."
Martha runs in and says, "No, he can't be. Let me through. Let me see him."
"Stop. Case Closed."
"But it was her. She killed him. She did it. She murdered him."
"Judoon have no authority over human crime."
"But she's not human"
Finnegan smiled and said, "Oh, but I am. I've been cataloged."
Martha screamed, "But she's not! She assimi- Wait a minute. You drank his blood? The Doctor's blood?"
Martha took the Judoon's scanner and scanned her.
Finnegan calmly said, "Oh, I don't mind. Scan all you like."
The Judoon said with no emotion, "Non-human."
Finnegan looked surprised, "But, what?"
"Confirm analysis."
"Oh, but it's a mistake, surely. I'm human. I'm as human as they come."
Rachel bitterly said to Finnegan, "He gave his life so they'd find you."
The Judoon stated, "Confirm. Plasmavore, charged with the crime of murdering the child princess of Patrival Regency Nine."
Finnegan complained, "Well, she deserved it! Those pink cheeks and those blonde curls and that simpering voice. She was begging for the bite of a plasmavore."
"Then you confess?"
"Confess? I'm proud of it! Slab, stop them!"
The Slab took one step and the Judoon fried him to ashes. The Judoon said, "Verdict, guilty. Sentence, execution."
Finnegan dashes behind the screen and plugs in the MRI scanner. The Magnetic Overload sign comes on. Then she said, "Enjoy your victory, Judoon, because you're going to burn with me. Burn in hell!" And 4 Judoon all fire and incinerate Finnegan.
The Judoon stated, "Case closed."
Martha looked at Rachel and said, "But what did she mean, burn with me? The scanner shouldn't be doing that. She's done something."
Rachel looked at Martha and said, "Lethal acceleration of monomagnetic pulse."
"Hey! Judoon! Do something! Stop it!"
The Judoon looked at each other and said, "Our jurisdiction has ended. Judoon will evacuate."
"What? You can't just leave it. What's it going to do?"
"All units withdraw."
"You can't go! That thing's going to explode and it's all your fault!"
Rachel stood up and grabbed Martha's arm, "Martha, we have to do CPR on the Doctor."
Martha look at Rachel and nodded. "Martha, I'll give him the air,"
"Rachel, you're risking your life-"
"Martha, I know what's going to happen if I die, and I can't tell you. Now take only sips of air, not gulps. And remember he has 2 hearts."
Martha nodded and the girls started the CPR procedure.
a minute later Rachel starts to gasp for breath. She takes a deep lungful and gives it to the Doctor. He wakes and she collapses. Martha was still up, since she was taking little sips of air. Martha told the Doctor, "The scanner. She did something." Energy is playing all over the hospital. The Doctor crawls to the scanner controls then realizes he doesn't have a sonic screwdriver any more.
"Dang it." The Doctor said.
He pulls apart the cables Finnegan had plugged together and the scanner turns off, then carries Rachel down the corridor with Martha behind him. The Judoon spaceships take off as the oxygen levels fall to zero.
They arrive at the hospital ward and he carries Rachel to the window. Then he said, "Come on, come on, come on, come on, please. Come on, Judoon, reverse it."
And then it starts to rain. The Doctor smiles and says, "It's raining, Rachel. It's raining on the moon." A crash of thunder and big flash, and the hospital is back where it should be.
Later, the people are being taken to other hospitals. Martha and Rachel are sitting in the back of an ambulance.
Then they heard Tish call out, "Martha! Rachel! Oh, God! I thought you were dead! What happened? It was so weird, because the police wouldn't say. They didn't have a clue. And I tried phoning. Mum's on her way, but she can't get through. They've closed off all the roads. There's thousands of people trying to get in. The whole city's come to a halt. And Dad phoned, because it's on the news and everything. He was crying. Oh, what a mess. What happened? I mean, what really happened? Where were you?"
Martha and Rachel looked at each other and grinned, Rachel and Martha said in unison, "We've got a hell of a story to tell you!"
Later, both girls took a shower at their own house and met at Martha's home. They were getting ready doing each other's makeup. Laughing and talking, until Martha asked Rachel, "Rach, do you fancy the Doctor?"
Rachel blushed and said, "What? No! Never!"
"Oh Come on! Face it! You like him! Tell me the truth."
"Uh, okay! Fine! I do like the Doctor!"
"And also, he likes you too Rach! I see the way you look at each other!"
"But Martha, as you know I'm from a different parallel universe than you and he used to fancy a woman named Rose. I can't just go for it just like that."
"Alright then, no time to lose! We've got to go to Leo's party!"
"Yeah! And party our asses off!"
During the party Martha's mum, dad, and dad's girlfriend get in a fight. As they walk away, Leo and Tish follow them.
Rachel smirked, "Ah, families, always getting into fights."
Martha replied, "I know right?"
Then both of the girls see the Doctor standing on the corner. He backs away and the girls follow.
When they came into alleyway they see the Doctor leaning against the TARDIS.
Martha said to him, "We went on the moon today."
The Doctor stated, "A bit more peaceful than down here."
"You never even told us-"
Rachel looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
Martha nodded then said, "Okay, you never even told me who you are"
"The Doctor"
"What sort of species? It's not every day I get to ask that."
"I'm a Timelord"
"Right! Not pompous at all then."
Rachel just rolled her eyes and she and the Doctor smiled at each other. The Doctor said to both girls, "I just thought since you guys saved my life and I've got a brand new sonic screwdriver which needs road testing, you might fancy a trip."
Rachel beamed, "YES! Thank you!" she ran over to him and hugged him.
The Doctor hugged her back and looked at Martha, "Well what about you then?"
Martha smirked, "What, into space?"
"Well-"
"But I can't. I've got exams. I've got things to do. I have to go into town first thing and pay the rent, I've got my family going mad."
Rachel playfully pouted at Martha then laughed, "Well if it helps, he can travel in time as well."
Martha's mouth dropped, she said, "Get out of here!"
"He can!"
"Come on now, that's going too far!"
"He can prove it!"
"I'd like to see him try!"
Rachel nudged the Doctor to prove Martha wrong. He grinned and steps inside the TARDIS and it dematerializes. Martha reaches into the space where it had been. Then it rematerializes again and the Doctor comes out holding his tie in his hand. He smiles saying, "Told you."
Martha looked surprised while saying, "No, but, that was this morning. Did you? Oh, my God. You can travel in time. But hold on. If you could see me this morning, why didn't you tell us not to go in to work?"
Rachel turned to Martha and said, "Crossing into established events is strictly forbidden. Except for cheap tricks."
"And that's his spaceship?"
The Doctor leaned against the TARDIS and said, "It's called the TARDIS. Time and Relative Dimension in Space."
"Your spaceship's made of wood. There's not much room. We'd be a bit intimate."
Rachel laughed, "Well take a look!" She skipped inside the TARDIS and flopped into the TARDIS chair. The Doctor giggled and stepped inside and leaned against the console.
Martha was the last one to enter, and her mouth dropped, "No, no, no."
She went outside and looked at the small box. Her mouth dropped again, "But it's just a box. But it's huge."
She stepped inside the TARDIS again and Rachel couldn't help but laugh. Martha looked around saying, "How does it do that? It's wood. It's like a box with that room just rammed in. It's bigger on the inside." The Doctor sarcastically said, "Is it? I hadn't noticed." And he went to g the door shut, Rachel giggled and said, "Right then, let's get going."
Martha looked confused, "But is there a crew, like a navigator and stuff? Where is everyone?"
The Doctor was fiddling with the TARDIS controls, then he looked up and said, "Just me."
"All on your own?"
"Well, sometimes I have guests. I mean some friends, travelling alongside. I had. There was recently, a friend of mine. Rose, her name was. Rose. And we were together. Anyway."
Rachel tried to hold back tears, and surprisingly she did so well. Rachel asked the Doctor, "Doctor, how am I a Timelord?"
The Doctor looked at her, "I don't know, did you work out everything in your head today then we were on the moon?"
"Uh, yes?"
"Have you checked your heartbeat?"
"uh… no?"
"Ok, you checked my heartbeats, my turn to check your heartbeat or heartbeats."
He took out a stethoscope and listened to her heartbeats, the Doctor said after a minute, "Yep! You are a Timelord!" and Rachel beamed.
The Doctor turned to look at the feeling-awkward Martha, then said, "Martha it's not like you're replacing her."
Martha crossed her arms and said, "Never said I was."
"Just one trip to say thanks. You get one trip, then back home. I'd rather be on my own."
Suuurrreeee Rachel thought
"You're the one that kissed me."
"That was a genetic transfer."
"And if you will wear a tight suit."
"Now don't!"
"Then travel all the way across the universe to ask her on a date!" and Martha gestured over to Rachel.
The Doctor and Rachel widened their eyes, "WHAT?!" they said in unison.
Martha chuckled, "It's obvious you 2 fancy each other!"
Rachel snapped playfully, "Well we'll see about that later!"
The Doctor said, "Sure. Well, then. Close down the gravitic anomaliser-"
He got cut off my Rachel saying, "fire up the helmic regulator-"
"And finally, the hand break."
"Ready?"
Martha answered, "No."
The Doctor and Rachel say in unison, "Off we go!"
The TARDIS dematerializes with a big jolt. They hand on for dear life.
Martha laughed, "Blimey, it's a bit bumpy!"
The Doctor laughed and replied, "Welcome aboard, Miss Jones and Miss Parker!"
Rachel and Martha said in unison, "It's our pleasure, Mr. Smith!"
