Martha's POV

The Doctor came into my room a few more times that day, worried about my health. But after I had woken up, I hadn't moved from my bed. Why? Because I was thinking. They had said "your turn will come" but will it? How long would I have to wait? Years? Months? How many until I got to have my adventures with the Doctor?

And they had said it wasn't my timeline. Wait… how did I know it wasn't just a dream? It was a dream, but how did I know it was real? What could I do? When was the time when I had to make the choice?

I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes.

"Have you made your decision, Ms. Jones? You coming back, of course means you are confused," Lady Tardis said.

"Yeah, I am really confused," Martha said. "When do I make this 'decision'? I know you said when the time is right, but I really have no idea!"

Jack sympathetically smiled at her. "In time, Martha Jones, in time."

Martha let out a cry of frustration. "But I'm so confused! Because you keep giving me cryptic messages! I have never met a more difficult man in the universe!" she threw her hands in the air in apparent frustration.

"But oh, oh, Martha," Jack said, shaking his finger. "What about the Doctor?" Martha puzzled over this thought, and chose not to reply.

"Exactly," the Master sneered. "It is the end of time, and yet Martha Jones, you remain unaware of everything!"

"Oi'! Watch it! I'll have you know that I almost have my medical degree! Wait, no I don't, I—I'm a shop girl, no, no, I have a medical degree and—and…" Martha screamed at the burning pain in her head and sank to the ground, clutching her head. "What's wrong with me? I—I don't know my own history!"

Jack looked at her sadly and said, "When the time is right, Martha Jones. When the time is right." Then all three of them faded away.

"No—No! Come back! I need you! Come baack!" Martha screamed at empty black space.

And then I opened my eyes. I looked around the room and saw memories soaked into the scene—but, they weren't my memories. They were someone else's.

I slowly got up from the stranger's bed and folded it. After I left, I didn't want any trace of me left behind.

The thought of the Doctor ran through my head—the anxiety, the energy, the adventure of traveling with him to unknown worlds, planets, civilizations… I sighed quickly. But I had to decide. I wanted to stay… but was it the right thing to do?

But wait… how could I get back? I mean, last time… if there was a last time, I believe I just sort of wished for it… Lady Tardis said she made the choice… but how could I get back? Another thought struck me. The three people in my head… how do I know they weren't just imaginary? What if it was all a dream?

But then I remembered—anything is possible with the Doctor.

So I, Martha Colette Jones walked out of the stranger's room without another thought, and made my way to the console room. When was the next time I'd see this place? When was the next time I'd have these adventures? A day? A month? A year?

I couldn't help wonder if the Doctor ever truly thought of me more than a friend. Would I ever know? Could I ever know? So I walked into the console room and said, "Doctor, we need to talk…"

But he quickly spun around and said, "Martha Jones, would you like to visit your fam'ly? I heard there's some ghost activity over there…" he raised his eyebrows at me. "Whaddya say? Say hello to old mum and dad?"

I pondered this thought and said, "Well… maybe one more trip wouldn't hurt." And he gave me that look of his, and I grinned.

Okay… there is now suspense!!! :) the next scene is "Doomsday-ish"… shhhh!!! There's a twist!!! Okay, well please REVIEW!!!
