Doctor Matt Smith pulled on his lab coat as he started his first shift. He had just gotten his PHD in psychiatrics a few months ago and managed to find a job in a small ward that was part of a hospital in London. Today was his first day on the job and he had been assigned to a women by the name of Karen Gillan.

He had read over her file briefly. When she was seven her aunt had left her alone in the house. It wasn't for long, just an errand or two, but when she had left her, she left her bottle of sleeping medications within reach of the child in the bathroom. Little Karen had managed to eat half of the bottle just before her aunt got back home. She rushed her to the hospital just in time to save the little girl, but not before some damage had been done to her mind.

Karen became a very quiet child. She began claiming her name was Amelia Pond, and that the entire time she was in the hospital, she had actually been at home, where a strange man called the Doctor had crashed into her shed with a giant blue box, made a mess of her kitchen, and fixed a talking crack in her wall that a giant eyeball appeared through. Then he disappeared in the box and promised he'd be back in five minutes. She had other delusions as well, mostly seeing the blue box this imaginary Doctor came in all over the place. Karen did receive help for these problems, and after four psychiatrists, she was almost back to normal. She still was very introverted, and only spoke to a few other children and adults.

But then everything went horribly wrong. After turning sixteen, a friend of hers, Mels (who was now wanted for theft on many accounts, illegal drug use, destruction of property, and assaulting an officer), got her into drugs. One overdose later and everything came crashing down again for Karen. She began having horrible hallucinations and a reawakening of her past delusions as well. She again began calling herself Amelia Pond, and after a break down where she claimed she saw a giant space ship flying over England on Christmas Day, and nearly fell off a roof (she climbed it, stood at the edge for two hours with a blank face like she was in some kind of trance, and then claimed she had no idea how she got up there) she was omitted to a psychiatric ward.

Doctor Smith walked down the hall to room 802, Karen's room. He had been informed to be wary of her by a nurse of hers, Arthur Darvill (he had been a friend of Karen's growing up, and became a nurse because he wanted to help her). In hindsight, he probably should have listened to his advice.

He opened the door and stepped inside. He saw the bed, chest of drawers, and the night stand...but Karen was no where to be seen! He looked around the room. "Karen?" he said making sure he closed the door, "Karen, I'm your new doctor, please come out. I'm not going to hurt you." He turned around to face the room again when suddenly, he was hit in the back of the head. He fell to the floor with a yelp as his attacker continued their assault. About ten seconds in, he realized his attacker was beating him...with a pillow? What?!

He turned onto his back when his attacker stopped. There standing in front of him was a tall red haired woman wearing white hospital scrubs that were standard for the patients. She was turned away from him slightly, a pillow in the grip of one of her hands, and she was holding a bar of soap in the other up to her mouth. "Tall, white male found breaking an entering. Please send back up." she said into the piece of soap like it was a radio. She then turned to him sending him a serious look. "Oi you," she said in a thick Scottish accent, "Sit. Still."

Matt just sat there staring at her. Finally he said, "Sorry, are you Miss Karen Gillan? I was told this was her room."

"Karen Gillan doesn't live here, and you're under arrest." she said.

Doctor Smith just stared at her in confusion. "What? W-why am I under arrest? What did I do?" he asked. 'Better yet, why am I arguing with a crazy person?' he thought to himself.

"You were breaking an entering-" she started trying to lean on the door, but it turned out Matt didn't close it all the way after all. She fell as the door flew open and landed with a thud in the entryway. She looked around, bewildered, before turning to look at Matt with a wild smile. His green eyes grew wide as he realized what she was thinking, or what he assumed she was thinking. "Run!" She said before getting up and running off.

Crap. He was going to get fired on the first day if he didn't fix this. "Karen! Stop!" he said racing after her. He caught up to her for a second in the hallway. She was standing completely still. "Come on Karen, let's get you back to your-" he started, putting a hand on her shoulder, but she whipped around with a glare.

"WHY DID YOU SAY FIVE MINUTES!" she shouted at him before racing off, leaving him dumbstruck. It took a few seconds for him to overcome the surprise, but after he did so, he raced after her again. He found her in the main sitting room, where other patients were. "What's wrong with the sun?!" she asked staring upwards. Matt looked at where she was staring. She was looking at the light on the ceiling fan. Some other patients were now staring at it in horror too. He sighed and approached the senile woman carefully.

"Karen," he said calmly, much more so than he was feeling right now, "That's not the sun. That's a ceiling fan. There is nothing wrong with the sun."

She looked at him and said, "Amy."

"What?" he asked.

"My name is Amy." she said.

"What's wrong with Karen?" he asked.

"Bit fairy tale." she said. He almost snorted at that. How ironic she didn't want a fairy tale name when she was living in her own fantasy land. He caved in though, if it meant she'll listen to what he said, he'll call her whatever the heck she wanted. He knew he shouldn't because it would just be feeding her delusion, but it had barely been twenty minutes and already he was feeling like he was going insane.

"Fine, Amy it is." he said, "Now Amy, I need you to calm down." She nodded her head. "Good." he said, "Now let's get you back to your room, shall we?"

He put a gentle hand on her shoulder trying to lead her back to her room, but she didn't budge. "No." She said simply. A look of mistrust was on her face, and was slowly turning into an angry glare.

"I'm sorry?" Matt said feeling more and more scared.

She violently grabbed his tie. "NO!" she shouted at him and began dragging him by the tie.

He had no idea where she was leading him but he knew it couldn't be good. "Karen? Karen!" he said in a panic. "Amy stop!" he finally blurted out.

She stopped and turned to look at him, anger still on her face. She pushed him up against the wall, and he felt very afraid. Was this why her old doctor had quit? And why wasn't anyone coming to stop her?! He knew for a fact there was at least two security cameras in this hallway. "Who are you?" she said in a cold tone.

"Amy, please calm down!" he pleaded.

"Who. Are. You." she said again tightening her grip on the tie.

"Amy, please!" he said fearfully, "I'm the doctor! I'm your doctor! Doctor Matt Smith! Please Amy, I don't want to hurt you! I just want to help you! Please let go!" He struggled in her grip.

Her eyes softened. "Doctor?" she said as if she was recognizing him. Her grip on his tie loosened.

"Yes!" he said, "I'm the doctor!" He was smiling a bit. It was working! He had no idea why but it was.

She let go of his tie completely. "What do we do?" she asked.

He didn't know what she meant by that, but he said, "Like I said before Amy were going to have to get you back to your room, you can't be out here. Then I'M going to to find Arthur and he's going to get you your-"

"Find Rory. Got it." she said with a determined look on her face before running off.

Matt just stood there dumbly for a few seconds processing what had just happened. "What?! No! Amy stop!...Who the heck is Rory?!" he called after her. He started to run after her again. If he wasn't fired by the end of the day, he was quitting.

-Time Skip-

Matt ran around the maze of hallways in the ward, but he couldn't find her anywhere. He turned to go down another hallway when Arthur crashed into him. He had been pushing a medicine cart that had orange juice for the patients to help swallow the pills. The medicine scattered on the floor as the cart tipped over and the orange juice spilled on Matt from where he fell to the ground. "I'm so sorry Arthur! I should really be more careful." Matt said trying to help clean up the pills.

"It's fine Doctor. I was the one who wasn't paying attention. Sorry about the shirt. I was heading over to Amy's...I mean Karen's room to give her her medicine." Arthur said with a friendly smile. Matt bit his lip in guilt. Arthur gave him a confused look. "Is something wrong? Is she ok?" he asked.

"I lost her." Matt said, "I didn't close the door on her room completely and now she's running around I can't find her! She's looking for someone called Rory but I checked and there's no one on record, patient or staff, with that name! I don't know what I'm supposed to do!"

"You lost her?" Arthur asked, "Wait, why is she looking for me?"

Matt gave him a weird look. "What do you mean? You're Rory?" he asked.

"She calls me that." he said with a sigh, "She thinks...I'm...her boyfriend...sort of." Arthur blushed a bit.

"Ok...so if we just wait here she'll come to us right?" Matt asked hopeful.

Arthur made a half smile half frown and gave a so-so motion. "Maybe. She has a tendency to get...distracted." he said.

Matt face palmed. "Great." he sighed slouching to the floor. Then an idea hit him. "The security cameras!" he said springing up, "We can use them to find where she is!" He smiled before dragging Arthur along to find the security room.

-Time Skip-

The doctor and the nurse burst through the door of the security room. No one was there. "Well that explains a lot." Matt muttered before going to the screens. He and Arthur scanned each black and white screen before Arthur pointed to one.

"There!" he said, "She's running towards the coma ward."

"She got inside the Hospital?!" Matt exclaimed, "Well now I'm definitely done for. Come on, let's go get her before she hurts herself."

The two ran as fast as they could to the coma ward, when they entered the room, they found her standing in the center looking around. She looked directly at Matt. "Prisoner Zero's here." she said in a fearful tone before collapsing to the floor.

Matt and Arthur ran over to her as quick as the could. "Amy? Amy! Are you ok?" Matt said worriedly before having his hand hover over her nose to see if she was breathing. Then he checked her pulse. "She's fine, she just passed out." Matt said relieved.

Arthur and Matt picked her up, and carried her back to her room. Matt had decided it was time to face the music for what had happened. When he approached the director of the psychiatric ward, he was surprised to find that the director wasn't all that angry. Apparently, Amy was know for managing to pickpocket a key or bobby pin and escaping from her room, no matter how cautious you were.

Matt decided to continue working there. It definitely was the least boring job he has had in a long time. Before the end of his shift he went to go see Amy again. When he opened the door, he made sure he closed it all the way this time. He turned around and she was standing in front of him.

"You came back." she said as if she wasn't expecting it.

He gave her a friendly smile. "Of course I did." he said.

"You changed your clothes." she said looking at him.

He had. It felt awkward and sticky wearing the shirt that had orange juice spilled on it, so he put on another shirt someone had leant him. "Yeah, I did." he said.

"And now you have a bow-tie." she said.

He had also changed his neckwear. After the whole incident with the tie grabbing, he decided it would be best if he wore something that was a bit harder for someone to drag him with...or choke him with. "Bow-ties are cool." he said as an excuse.

She let out a snicker. "Are you from a different planet?" she asked jokingly. Matt smiled.

He rolled his eyes and said in a very sarcastic voice, "Yeah, ya got me!" His smile faltered for a second, worrying she'd take him seriously, but she just giggled. It was weird. One minute she's completely insane, and the next she's joking around and acting like a completely normal person would. "Anyways, I just wanted to check up on you before you go to bed. Good night, Amy."

She smiled and pulled him into a hug, surprising him. "Good night, my raggedy doctor." she said before letting him go and going to bed. He exited the room with a smile but it slowly faded when he realized something. She had called him her "raggedy doctor". That was the name she gave to the man with the box in her delusion she had when she was seven. Did she think he was...? "Crap." he said, face palming before walking off. He'll deal with that tomorrow.
