"Ouch" I quickly put my hand to my side. The Doctor's still not back but it's only been about two hours.

"What's wrong?"

"Probably nothing." I say but I'm still wincing at the pain even though I remove my hand. "So where were we, this is the swimming pool."

"It's in the library?"

"Not where I would put it either. I got locked out once for getting tea on a book and he has a swimming pool in here. I don't think I'm the highest risk of damage to these books." I'm hoping the sarcasm will take away some of the unwanted attention.

"It has a diving board. You want to go for a swim?"

I try not to gasp when my side suddenly gets worse. "Not right now. You can if you want." Jenny looks towards my hand which I'd just put back to my side.

"You're bleeding." I look down to find that she's right. It's not much blood but it's not my scratch either.

"Did I show you the medical-bay yet? I think we're going to need it." As soon as that man gets back I'm going to kill him. Again.

The medi-bay isn't far away. "If your looking for the thing that speeds up cell regeneration or whatever it does don't bother, the wound will just open back up again. There's some bandages in a cupboard over there." I point over to the other side of the room. While Jenny gets the bandages I scrabble around for some strong painkillers. As soon as I'm done I sit on one of three beds in the room and peel my top away.

"Why would your cut open up again if it was healed?" Jenny asks as she cleans the area around what looks like a stab wound.

"It's not my wound." I grit my teeth.

"When you said similar I didn't imagine something like this. So what you mean is that dad has to be healed before you because it's his wound." I nod.

"We're going to have to go back to the console room. When dad gets back he's going to be in worse shape than me. It's the connection. Being apart for so long is making him slow, really slow. He'll be back soon."

When dad gets back I can't stop my self from being angry which is probably better than anything else right now. He pushes through the doors and I immediately start yelling at him.

"What do you think you were doing? You know you weren't ready to leave."

"Ally I had to."

"I'm sure it could have waited five more minutes! Now I don't know what happened out there but if you don't come with us right now I don't know, I just don't know." The pain killers I took and being angry are helping me to drag him down to medi-bay. Once there I start to peel away his shirt, some of the blood has dried making it stick to it. "Don't want to get blood on the sheets." I say just loud enough for him to hear me. He knows what's happening next. Jenny heals us both, dad first.

"Jenny, we're going to be a while." I stalk out the room dragging the Doctor towards the bedrooms. When we get to ours I push him inside to get changed and go next door to find some pyjamas. I still have my own room even though we sleep in the same one. We didn't need injuries on top of everything else that happened today. When I'm done I go back and knock on the door. "Are you done yet?" I don't want to yell any more, he wasn't being a complete idiot.

"Come in. I'm done." When I enter he's looking where the injury used to be. "Jenny did a good job."

"What did you expect, a huge scar?" I settle on the bed.

"Well I expected something." I snorted. Trust him to underestimate his kid just because she's not a 'real time lady'. She's got better precision than anyone I've ever met.

"Can we just get this over with or does sitting down sound to difficult right now?" I know I'm being rude but he should know the rules by now. He looked at me, he was still offended. "Fine, I'm sorry. I know you had to go save that Encelapado.."

"Enplecado."

"Enplecado. I just got upset because you need to be more careful." His eyes softened a little and he finally sat on the bed. We both got comfortable and I knocked him out.


Ally had never explained what they were going to do when they left so Jenny followed them. At first she was confused at why the Doctor would let anyone manhandle him the way Ally did. They went to a part of the ship Ally hadn't shown Jenny. Things got more confusing when Ally pushed him into one room and went into another just to come out in pyjamas and knock on the door. Why didn't she just go in? She had just dragged him all over the ship after all. What changed in the last few minutes. Then she remembered overhearing Ally say something about blood on sheets. Things were getting more complicated every second. Then they started talking. She couldn't hear everything but the part about her wasn't important, even if it was a bit offensive. "Can we just get this over with..." Get what over with? At first she thought it was what came next but then they stopped talking. In fact she couldn't hear anything, they weren't moving. Perhaps, no she really shouldn't look but she'd come this far so why not. But they were family... which meant she had a right to know. She waited one more minute to make sure she hadn't missed something while she was thinking before looking in. They were asleep. Had Ally done what her dad did to Ally earlier? Ally said she could do it to him. Ally's hand was still half under his sleeve. It didn't look very comfortable because her dad had his opposite arm round her neck. At the same time they were flat on their backs which meant their arms were at awkward angles to get where they were. Now she knew what Ally meant about getting blood on the sheets. She got closer. They were so limp, they could have been dead but she knew enough to know they weren't.
It didn't look like either of them were getting up any time soon so she went to explore. They were acting like completely different people. It was weird. Her dad didn't look at Ally the same way he looked at her. When she'd first seen him he'd been angry. Then it had all been choices and running. The only time he'd been gentle with her was when she was dying. That was a long time ago. When he looked at Ally, there was so much guilt, guilt and an almost physical desire of, what? If you took away the shouting and the arguments the two of them seemed so comfortable around each other. It made Jenny feel like she was intruding. He was so gentle with Ally, and careful. It wasn't just how he'd made her stay with Ally earlier it was how he acted around her all the time he'd been with them. He held Ally like a china doll in the nunnery, and his eyes. When he looked at Ally after they got in the TARDIS, when she slept on his shoulder it was like she really was his family. Ally really meant something to him she knew she never could, in a way she would never understand. But then she didn't want to be held like a china doll either. As for how Ally was acting, it was like she'd gone from a church mouse to a lioness in a matter of minutes. And there was no more screaming. Maybe she should leave.
