Chapter 2

As soon as he got back to the TARDIS, the Doctor noticed that Judi was gone, he knew exactly where she went to. "Why did you go back there?" he thought. The Doctor caught up to her right before she went into the shop.

Judi saw the Doctor down the street, but didn't go in. "What do you want, Doctor?"

The Doctor grabbed Judi and shook her lightly. "What do you think you're doing? Are you determined to be turned into one of them?"

Judi pushed the Doctor away from her and said "Why should you care about me? I should be nothing to you."

The Doctor looked at Judi and said. "You're important to me, because you are a friend of mine. I've already lost 3 of my friends."

Judi looked at the Doctor and asked "What happened to them?"

"The first went to another world. The second decided that she had enough of time travel. The last one, I had to erase my memory of me." He replied as he looked at the ground.

Judi started to cry. "What were their names?"

The Doctor looked down as if he didn't want to say the names of the friends. Judi studied him for a few minutes and then decided to try to get his attention.

"Doctor, what were the names of your friends?"

Finally the Doctor looked up at her and said. "Their names were Rose Tyler, Martha Jones and Donna Noble. They were probably the best friends that I ever had. But now I have you. That is, if you still want to continue to travel with me." The Doctor said. Judi looked at him and said

"Of course I still want to. The only reason that I came back to this shop is so I could say thank you to them."

Meanwhile Brian and all of the other bears was watching the Doctor and Judi talking. Brian laughed evilly before he said "Go get the girl. I want her." Two bears were dispatched to capture Judi. When the Doctor saw the bears coming up to them.

The Doctor turned to Judi and said. "I've got to get you out of here."

Judi looked at the Doctor and said "Doctor, I've brought this on myself . Get out of here!"

The Doctor looked at her and said "I just can't let you here to get killed."

Judi started to cry. "Doctor, please, as my dying wish, I'd like you to save yourself."

As the Doctor watched the bears come up behind Judi, he kissed her on the forehead. "Just don't ever forget me."

Judi looked at the Doctor and said. "Why are you saying that?"

The bears grabbed Judi as she stood there looking at the Doctor. Judi started to kick and fight as she felt the arms of the bears go around her. The Doctor watched as Judi was being dragged inside the shop.

Before she got out of the Doctor's sight, she yelled, "Get out of here, Doctor! I don't want you to get turned into one of them too!"

As the door closed, the Doctor went to the door and went inside. He walked quietly so he wouldn't be noticed. A bear walked right by him, but the Doctor hid in a closet.

When he walked out of there, he heard voices talking and recognized that one of them was Judi's. "You're not really going to turn me into one of you, are you?" She asked.

The Doctor got into Judi's line of vision and put a finger to his lips.

"Of course we are, Judi. We warned you that we were, didn't we?" Brian asked her.

"Well, yeah you did. But I thought that you were kidding with me." Judi replied. " I thought that we could be friends."

Judi said as she tried to keep Brian's eyes on her, instead of him finding the Doctor.

"Why should we be? You're the enemy. You and that friend of yours." Brian said as his eyes were looking around the room.

The Doctor motioned Judi to keep talking. "What friend? Are you talking about the friend that abandoned me in the time that I needed him? Or the friend that said that he'd save me from you?"

The Doctor looked at Judi and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Judi looked at the Doctor and gave him a look that said "I'm sorry about what I'm saying right now."

The Doctor looked right back at her and mouthed "Don't worry about it." Brian turned around and noticed the Doctor and said "Doctor, you are going to watch your friend die."

Judi looked at Brian and said "It's me you want, not him. Let him go!"

The Doctor looked at Judi and said "Maybe I don't want to leave."

Judi looked at the Doctor and couldn't believe what he just said. "Doctor, I'm trying to save your life. Did you forget what I asked you to do as I was being dragged?"

The Doctor looked at her and said "Of course I remember what you asked of me. But I just couldn't leave you here by yourself to die. What kind of friend do you think I am?"

Judi looked at the Doctor with tears in her eyes, and then she looked at Brian and said. "Whatever you want to do, let's get it over with." As the bears stood her up, Judi looked at the Doctor and said "I'll never forget you. Take care of yourself, Doctor."

The Doctor hugged Judi and said. "Don't you worry about me. We'll see each other again. You can bet on it." he said as he walked out of the door.

As soon as the door closed, Brian looked at Judi maliciously and said. "Now that the Doctor is gone. No one is going to stop me."

Judi looked at Brian and said. "I've changed my mind. Is that ok if I change my mind?"

Brian looked at her and said "Of course it's not ok. You could've left with the Doctor."

Judi looked at Brian and said "You would really let me go and be with the Doctor?"

Brian started to laugh. "No. I just wanted to say that to make you happy."

Judi started to cry. "Whatever you want to do to me, you better do it now."

As Brian started the process, he looked at Judi and noticed that she was looking at the ceiling and decided to let her go. "You may go and find your Doctor."

Judi looked at Brian and said. "But you said that I couldn't. You were going to change me into one of you."

Brian laughed and said "Why would I do something to a pretty girl like you?"

Judi laughed "I bet you turned pretty girls into one of you before. So how come you can't change me?"

"That's a very good question. Why can't you change her? Like Judi said, you've changed a lot of pretty girls. Is there some reason why you can't do it to her?"

The Doctor said as he came out from behind a shelf.

"Doctor, what are you doing here?" Brian asked as he grabbed Judi and held a knife to her throat. "I strongly suggest that you get out the same way that you came in."

Judi looked at the Doctor and said. "Doctor, you've got to run." Brian pushed the knife closer to Judi's throat. "Shut up!" He turned towards the doctor "If you want her to live, you better get out of here."

The Doctor started to walk out the door, but he turned around and started to walk back towards Brian and Judi and said. "Just to let you know that if you change her. I'm going to stop you one way or another."

Brian looked at Judi and then at the Doctor and laughed. "What makes you think that you'd stand a chance against me, Doctor?" Judi looked at the Doctor and said, "Just get out of here, Doctor."

The Doctor looked at her and said. "I just can't let you here to die." All of the sudden, another guy who was had a military coat on, came into the store and said "Doctor, just listen to her. You won't get anywhere by arguing with her."

The Doctor looked at the man and said. "What are you doing here?"

Judi looked at both of them and said. "You know this guy?"

"Captain Jack Harkness is my name. What's yours, you beautiful thing?" the man said.

The Doctor put his head in his hands. "Now's not the right time for that, Captain." the Doctor said.

"All I was doing was saying hello. She's not going to be around for that much longer anyways. Right?" Jack replied.

The Doctor looked at Jack and said. "Why do you care about her? You don't even know her."

Jack looked at the Doctor and said, "Do you know her well enough to ask me why I should care about someone I just met?"

Judi looked at the two of them and said. "You can argue about caring for me or not, but that's not going to help at all now is it?"

Just as they were about to leave, Brian came out with a gun and aimed at Judi.

"You aren't going anywhere!" Brian pulled the trigger, but Jack pushed her out of the way, taking the bullet him self. Judi kneeled down next to him and started to cry.

The Doctor reached down and pulled Judi up and said "There's nothing that we can do for him."

Judi hugged the Doctor "But he helped save my life! Surely there's something that you can do."

The Doctor thought about that for a few minutes, then we reached and held Captain Jack in his arms and walked towards the door. Just as they walked through the door, Jack gasped, looked at the Doctor and said. "Did you miss me?"
