Martha sat in the ambulance slightly dazed and in deep thought. The breeze was soothing and the sun felt nice. Today had been so surreal, she was tired and sore but she couldn't stop thinking about the Doctor and Amy. Were they okay? Did they make it?
Just then a paramedic interrupted her thoughts. "Are you sure you're okay, Miss?"
Martha nodded and slowly stood. "Martha!" Her sister Tish called out running to her. "Oh, my god, are you okay?" She said hugging her.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Martha replied. Tish sighed. "What happened to you? One minute the hospital's there and the next it was gone," She rambled. "Where did you go, what happened?"
Suddenly Martha spotted the Doctor walking towards a blue box. He briefly glanced at her and waved. "That's him," Martha said pointing. "That's the man that saved us." Tish looked and frowned. "What man?"
"The Doctor, he-" Martha looked back but the Doctor and the blue box was gone.
Amy walked into the console after her hot shower, she had changed into an oversize purple plaid shirt and a black denim skirt. The Doctor glanced up from the control panel. "Hi, how are ya'? Any less sore?"
Amy nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." She glanced at him. "What about you?" "Oh, I'm fine, thanks to you and Martha." He smiled. She nodded and came closer. "So you're fine?" She clarified biting the inside of her cheek.
The Doctor shrugged. "Yeah." "You positive?" She asked. "Never better." He replied.
"Good that means I can do this, you twit!" She scowled slapping his shoulder.
"Ow, what was that for?" He frowned. "For scaring me half to death. Do you have any idea how scared I was?" Amy scoffed.
The Doctor nodded with regret. "I know. I messed up." Amy sighed shaking her head. "I swear I don't what I'm going to do with you."
"Well, I had to convert the plasmavore's blood back to alien." He explained. She folded her arms. "So that was your brilliant plan? Getting all your blood sucked up until you collapsed." Amy remarked. He shrugged sheepishly. "Well, I didn't count on Judoon taking that long to get there." He admitted rubbing the back of his neck.
Amy groaned frustrated. He sat beside her. "You're going to give me grey hair, you know that?" She rested her head on his shoulder.
The Doctor put his arm around her holding her close. "I bet you're cute with gray hair." He lightly joked kissing her temple. "Ha, ha." She teased back.
The Doctor smirked and rested his head on top of hers holding her hand. She sighed heavily. "I never got to say thank Martha," Amy realized. She glanced up at him. "If it weren't for her help you wouldn't even be here."
He just grunted softly. She looked at him and her eyes brightened. "Do you think we take her on a trip with us just to say thank you?" Amy asked. The Doctor glanced at her. "Do think it's safe?"
Amy scoffed. "Come on we brought Mickey, yeah, and it might be fun." He thought about it and smiled. "Okay." He said.
She grinned and he stood back up and started working the console.
Meanwhile Martha's mother, Francine was storming out of the pub pointing and shouting angrily at her dad's new girlfriend, Annalise. "I will not stay in the same place as this stupid air-headed Barbie!"
Leo groaned covering his face embarrassed while Martha and Tish stood nearby watching helplessly as their brother's birthday was being ruined…again.
Annalise scoffed folding her arms. "Clive, did you hear what she just called me?" Clive nodded trying to calm his young girlfriend. "She didn't mean it sweetheart." Francine scoffed. "Oh, yes I did," She glared at Clive. "I asked you not to bring her and once again you disrespected me and embarrassed your family by bringing this…this blondie!"
Annalise scowled. "Oh, that does it! I'm gone!" She started stomping off with Clive chasing after her. "That's right run you coward!" She shouted sounding angry and hurt before storming off.
"Mum, wait!" Tish said running after her.
Leo leaned against the pub wall and glanced at Martha. "Well, that went well." He sighed. Martha lowered her gaze. "Sorry." He smiled slightly and squeezed her shoulder. "You tried," He said. Leo exhaled. "I think I'll go, too. I'll see ya' later." He said leaving.
Martha just nodded and stood there feeling foolish for having this terrible idea in the first place. Just then she heard Amy's voice. "Hi, rough night?" She glanced up and smiled faintly. "Hi," She sighed. "I guess you saw all that, huh?" Amy nodded sympathetically folding her arms. "Yeah, I'm sorry."
Martha scoffed. "I must have been daft for even thinking…" Her sentence trailed and she shook her head. "Oh, well," She sighed. "How are you doing?"
She nodded. "I'm fine." "What about the Doctor?" Martha asked. Amy smiled. "He's fine, thanks to you." Martha smirked and nudged her arm. "Hey, you helped," She sighed. "So what brings you by?" Amy grinned. "How would you like to go on a trip with us?"
"What do you mean?"
"We want to thank you for helping us by taking you on a trip." Amy said. Martha scoffed. "What now?" She nodded.
Martha shook her head. "I can't. I've got exams, my family's going crazy and besides I've seen that box of yours and there's no way we all fit in there."
Amy smirked. "Come on." She motioned her to follow her.
She sighed and followed her down the alley to where the TARDIS was standing. "You first." Amy said.
Martha was reluctant. There was no way this would work. She sighed and opened the door and gasped stepping inside. It was incredible and huge. That was the only way to describe it.
"Oh hello!" The Doctor said nonchalantly appearing from behind the console. Martha shook her head in disbelief. "No, no, no…" She ran back outside for a better look. "It can't be." She said running back inside. "It's wood…but it's like a whole huge room was just stuffed into this…this tiny box," She muttered. "It's incredible." She said.
Martha walked back inside still looking around in awe while touching the coral-like structure. "It's actually bigger on the inside." She said more to herself. "Really, I never noticed." Amy said casually closing the door behind her.
"But will I be back in time for exams tomorrow?" Martha asked still in slight shock. "Of course," The Doctor replied. "It's a time machine." She scoffed. "Seriously?" The Doctor nodded as he worked the control panel. "Yeah."
Martha folded her arms unconvinced. "Go on, time travel doesn't exist." Amy just smirked suppressing a snicker.
"Well, guess we'll just have to prove it then." The Doctor simply shrugged. He pulled a switch causing the box to jerk and jolt nearly knocking them down and making Martha yelp. "Hang on tight!" The Doctor called out.
"Thanks for warning!" She yelped back grabbing onto the control panel and holding it tight.
"Oh and welcome aboard Miss Jones!" The Doctor shouted hanging onto the console.
Martha gave a nervous smile and held onto the control panel for dear life. "What have I gotten myself into?" She wondered.
