Thanks to the three people who reviewed! You know who you are! ;)
The Doctor woke up, looking around frantically. The last thing he'd remembered was…what was the last thing he remembered? His head was killing him, and he was freezing. Shaking, he tried to sit up, but a familiar nurse held his shoulder.
"Woah, Doctor. Easy. Take it easy."
The Doctor recognized that voice. He tried to focus his vision, but that only gave him a searing headache. He winced, holding his head and falling back against his pillows.
The nurse looked concerned, hoping he wasn't hallucinating again.
"Doctor? Are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah." He whispered. It hurt to even talk. Leaning back against the headboard, he tried to focus his vision again; this time succeeding.
"…N-Novice Hame?"
She nodded, bending down to meet his gaze.
"But…Last time I was here you..."
"I know." She said, looking ashamed
"And I am deeply sorry."
…Well, considering that her medicine is what's keeping me conscious, I guess I'll have to accept her apology…
He nodded, wincing; as the movement sent another searing pain through his skull.
Novice Hame gave him something to swallow, and he took it without question. He lay still for a moment, before sitting up in a panic.
"R-River! A-And Amy, and Rory! Th-they're-" He winced again, forgetting momentarily that talking hurt his head.
"They're fine." Novice Hame said, smiling.
"Don't worry. Your friends are all safe, in their own separate rooms, of course."
The Doctor cringed.
"Y-You shouldn't have separated Amy and Rory…"
Was all the Time Lord could muster, before losing consciousness and falling back against his pillow.
Amy awoke to the blank, white walls of the hospital. Almost instantly, she began panicking.
"…O-Oh my God, I-I'm back…D-Demon's run…O-oh my God…"
The nurse looked over at her, not really sure if she was feverish or not.
"Amy? Amy Pond? Can you hear me?"
Amy turned and looked right at her, instead of just looking through her like she did when she was hallucinating.
"Oh my God, I'm imagining cat people…"
The nurse's tail twitched irritably.
…Although, she seems to think that she still is hallucinating…
"No, you're in a hospital. In…er, New York. Do you remember anything?"
Amy looked around frantically.
"Rory! W-Where's Rory?"
"Surprisingly enough, your husband didn't contract the fever, so he'd decided to help out around here until you were allowed to leave."
"D-Darn Stupid-face, of course h-he's the one out of a-all of us not to get sick…" She mumbled, before realizing what the nurse had said.
"W-Wait, whaddya mean, when we're allowed to leave?"
The nurse groaned. Didn't this one know anything?
"You have one of the most contagious diseases ever known to this galaxy. You're under quarantine."
"W-Well, c-can't I at least see my husband?"
"Well…I suppose that would…I mean, he does seem to have developed a certain immunity to the fever…"
"Well then lemme see him, cat-lady!"
Huffing, the nurse walked out of Amy's room, to go and search for a certain human nurse.
