Chapter 1

Martha opened the door of the TARDIS and stepped out into a small room with walls of metal and a metal door on the other side of the room. Everywhere there were boxes and shelves full of what looked like futuristic tools and spare parts. They had landed in a storage room.

The Doctor walked out of the TARDIS behind Martha and pulled the door shut.

"Where are we?" Martha asked excitedly as she turned around to look at him.

"Looks like we are on a human spacestation or spaceship. I'd say spacestation. I can't feel it moving," he answered as he looked around in the storage room. He took a closer look at the spare parts in one of the boxes and said: "By the look of these parts we are in the 47th century. I love this century. Let's take a look around!" He grinned at her and walked to the door. Martha followed him.

Outside the room they found a corridor with a large window on one side. On the other side were doors like the one they had just come through. Martha immediately ran to the window to look outside.

"This is just amazing," she whispered as she let her gaze wander over the breathtaking view.

The window showed a planet which the spacestation was orbiting. From where Martha was standing the planet looked like a ball in different shades of green and blue. There was not as much water on the planet as on Earth but it still looked similar.

Half of the planet was in the light of a sun which was behind the spacestation.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" the Doctor asked as he walked to stand next to Martha and took a look out of the window himself.

"Like nothing I have ever seen before," Martha said, as she turned her head to look up at him. He returned her glance and they both smiled at each other.

"Who are you?" came a voice from behind them.

They both turned around to see a man in a dark blue uniform standing behind them and pointing a gun at them.

The Doctor just ginned at the man.

"Hello," he said, "I'm the Doctor. And this is Martha."

"How did you get here?" asked the man.

"Oh, I have this sort of ship," the Doctor answered. "We just came here to have a look at your spacestation. Just for fun."

The man stared at him for a moment as if he was deciding whether he should believe him or not. Then he started walking a bit closer to them. "I have to bring you to the captain." He pointed with his gun down the corridor to their left. "Move!"

The Doctor and Martha exchanged another glance, then started walking down the corridor as the man had told them to.

...

The man locked them up in a room to wait until the captain of the spacestation arrived. It was a small room with a table and some chairs around it. It looked like a conference room.

"So what are we going to do?" Martha asked the Doctor.

"It's probably best to just stay here and wait for this captain to arrive," was his answer. He leaned against the wall next to the door. Martha walked over to one of the chairs and sad down on it.

"What do you think the reaction of this captain will be? I mean, we're not in trouble again, are we?"

"I don't think so. We just explain to him how we got here. Won't be a problem." He smiled at her and Martha melted inside as she usually did when she saw him smile at her like that.

She had spent five months on Earth after the Year That Never Was and she had thought she had started to get over him. But she obviously wasn't. The moment she saw him again it all came back.

Those five months were just boring for her after everything she had seen. It seemed like nothing interesting would happen in her life and she began to miss the travelling.

She had spent most of the first two month helping her family. They had needed her after everything that had happened in the Year. But they were a lot better now. They barely talked about the Year anymore. And she had only seen them on weekends in the last month because of her exams.

She had passed the last one a week ago and had thought that she really could use a bit of travelling.

She had thought that she could do it: travel with the Doctor again and be happy with them just being friends. She had realised that he would never feel anything more for her. That was why she had left. And she had hoped that she could accept that. So she had called him and asked him if she could travel with him again for a bit. He hadn't found a new companion so he was very happy to have her back.

But her feelings were just the same as they were before she had left him after the Year as she realised now. She still loved him. And it still hurt that he just saw her as a friend.

She was very happy to be out here again. Every trip was exciting and she just loved it. But she wasn't sure if it was worth the pain. If she should stay with him or if it was better to go home again and resume trying to go on with her life.

Maybe someday she could come with him again and see him as just a friend.

"Are you all right?" the Doctor asked. Martha looked up at him. "You seemed to be far away."

"I'm fine" she smiled at him. "I was just thinking. Nothing important." He smiled back at her, oblivious as always to what that smile did to her.
