Hey everyone! Was bored so decided to do a Dr Who styled drama to Final Fantasy. This story is set off the first episode of the new series with Martha Jones, so hope y'all like it! (Review and tell me, good or bad everything welcome---but be gentle!)
Remember: I do not own Final Fantasy 8 or Dr Who, they are copyright to SquareSoft/Enix and the BBC!

Rinoa sat twiddling her hair around her finger, very much bored and very much oblivious to the world. She sighed dully, putting her pen in her mouth and chewing on the end of it. This was a mere one, of her many habits. Her gaze jumped out of the window and then to the sky, where thick, grey clouds were gathering at the top right hand corner of the horizon. This was slightly abnormal, however they were right beside the ocean, so it wasn't that unusual.
"Miss Heartilly?!"
The harsh voice brought Rinoa tumbling back down to earth.
"Y-Yes?" She asked, gazing at the old doctor. It was obvious that the stress of every day life had gotten to him. He had worry lines, and laugh lines, with a wrinkled brow and very little hair. His eyes were strict, bearing little or no emotion, and he stood tall, looming over the small group of students who, before meeting this particular man, were eager to become doctors and nurses, now however, were having second thoughts.
"Miss Tilmitt," The doctor began, gesturing to a small girl beside a patient's bed, "is having trouble locating the source, not only of the patient's heart, but his problem too."
Rinoa could feel her fellow peer's eyes burning into her, but still she did not flinch. Instead rather, she glanced at the nervous girl, who bit her lip and scuffled her feet gingerly. Rinoa found it hard to believe that this girl made it out of high school, let alone into medical school.
"Show Selphie how it's done, would you?" The doctor asked.
Rinoa turned her head to him. "Sure." She replied.
The old doctor's eyes watched her, almost with a tinge of rage, as she took the stethoscope from Selphie and began examining the patient.
"So." Rinoa began, looking at the patient for the first time. He smiled politely at her, and she was awestruck at how handsome he was. She was quick to knock herself out of the trance, as the old doctor spoke.
"Come along now, Rinoa. We don't have all day."
"Right." Rinoa replied, picking up the patient's notes. "What seems to be the problem Mr..." She lingered on, hoping that he would give his last name.
"Leonheart. Squall Leonheart." The doctor interrupted.
"Mr Leonheart?" Rinoa asked.
"Well..." Squall began.
"Perhaps–" The doctor interrupted. "You should just start by listening to his heart beat."
Rinoa nodded, forcing a smile, to disguise how annoyed she felt. She put the stethoscope into her ears and breathed on the metal part, to heat it up. She asked Squall to lift up his shirt and she carefully pressed the stethoscope by his left side, below his shoulder. She listened, to an erratic beat. Startled, she moved the stethoscope across to his other side, where she head a normal heart beat. An expression of shock, and horror appeared on her face, which subsided when she looked at Squall, who smiled and winked.
"Come now, Miss Heartilly! What is the diagnosis?"
"Erm." Rinoa looked round. "Perhaps, just abdominal pains...?" She asked, unsurely.
The old doctor frowned. "That is the symptom. Not the diagnosis." He grabbed the notes from Rinoa, before dropping them abruptly on the bed as an electric shock ran from the clipboard to his hand.
"Hey..." Rinoa said, "that happened to me this morning!"
The doctor picked up the clipboard hesitantly. "Yes, well, it would, wouldn't it? We have an electrical storm on the way."
"Ah...electricity." Squall said.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"My good friend, Ben Franklin invented that. Ben...hmm always full of ideas!" He laughed. "Mind you, he made me go out in lightning with a kite—not a good idea!"
Some of the students shifted about awkwardly, while others giggled, and smiled out of amusement.
"Yes, well...perhaps a visit from the psychiatric department...moving on!"
He led the students away, down to the end of the room, past all of the beds.
Rinoa turned while she was walking away, and smiled at Squall, who beamed back.
