Sarah was sitting on her bed finishing drying her hair, dressed in a lavender pyjama. Although she knew she was alone in the TARDIS with the Doctor, she could not help have the feeling that someone was laying in wait for her. She got up nervous and left the room as fast as her weak legs could take.
"Doctor?"
She saw her friend neither in his bedroom nor in the console room. The feeling that she was being followed was increasingly intense. She didn't find the Doctor, and the TARDIS was so big...
"Doctor? Where are you?"
"In the kitchen," she heard the friendly voice.
Sarah relaxed when she entered the kitchen and saw the Doctor there, who had taken his wet clothes off and was wearing a white tank top undershirt, a pair of grey plaid pyjama trousers, slippers on his feet, and he was cooking in a saucepan something that stirred with a wire whisk.
"What are you doing here, Sarah? I was going to go to your room within minutes."
"I am nervous, Doctor. I have the impression that someone is laying in wait for me," said the girl.
The Doctor stopped stirring what was in the saucepan and looked at his friend with a comforting expression.
"There is nothing to worry about, Sarah. You are quite safe in the TARDIS."
Sarah smiled and nodded. She was calmer now. Gradually she began to realize the delicious smell from the saucepan.
"Hot chocolate?" she asked.
The Doctor smiled.
"Do not stand there. Sit down," he said serving the chocolate in two cups.
He put on the table the chocolate cups and a tray with muffins.
"Hot chocolate with muffins?" asked the girl again, smiling.
"I did it for you. I thought you would like something sweet and warm to warm up and forget this day," the Time Lord said.
Sarah thanked her friend the detail and took a muffin.
To avoid thinking about Yagloth and kidnapping of Sarah, the Doctor told the young girl the stories he lived with UNIT before meeting her.
"And Mr. Benton appeared in a nappy," said the Doctor, laughing.
"Really? Poor man," Sarah laughed too. "Doctor, life with you can be so ..." she started.
"Dangerous?" he finished the sentence in a serious voice.
They were having fun, it was not his intention to get serious again, but the memory of Sarah drowning herself had returned to his mind.
"I was going to say exciting," said the girl. She also became serious. "Why Yagloth became obsessed with me?" she asked.
"Because he thought you are perfect," the Doctor said.
"What nonsense. I am not perfect," she said.
"No, you are not."
Sarah looked at her friend incapable of saying anything. She had spent a really bad day and the last thing she needed was to hear her defects from the mouth of her best friend.
"Nobody's perfect," he continued. "All our strengths and weaknesses are what make us different from each other, unique… and wonderful."
Sarah Jane smiled. She wanted to thank her companion those nice words, but from her mouth came out only a yawn.
"I think it is time to go to bed," the Doctor said.
"Oh, but if I have slept a lot today how can I be so tired?"
"Do you need anything from me before going to sleep?" he asked.
"Yes ... there is something I would like to ask you ... but I am embarrassed."
"Embarrassed? Why?" the Doctor asked.
"Because you are going to think I am a coward."
"Coward? You? Nonsense, you are the bravest woman I have ever met."
The girl looked down.
"Would you mind to spend the night with me?"
