Whew. This chapter took a while to write. I blame it on the fact that I'm always tired when I get home from work and have no energy to write. I'll try to be better about that.

A few days later, Dani was at the spa. After getting the luggage out of her car, she walked into the spa. Soft, new age music played over the sound system in the ceiling as she entered. There were a few other women hanging around the lobby and talking to each other. This clearly was a very popular spa, given the diverse age difference in the women. It seemed that half the women there were her age, and the other half appeared to be around her mother's age. Not that it really mattered to her, she was just excited to get some very deserved relaxation in. She walked to the reception desk, where a very perky blond receptionist was clicking on a keyboard. The nametag on her shirt said "Angela" on it. She looked up and grinned when she saw Dani approach.

"Hiii!" Angela said in a singsong voice that Dani thought was way too cheerful for 8 AM. "Welcome to Tranquil Oceans spa! How can I help you?!"

"Uh, yes. I'm checking in the for the retreat weekend." Dani said, a little bit taken aback by this woman's personality. "The name's Dani Burkhard."

"Ok! Let me just see here- Oh, yes! Here we are!" Angela sang again. She printed out a piece of paper and handed that to Dani, as well as the keycard to her room. "Here's your key to your room and a list of all our amenities we have to offer! Have a wonderful stay!"

"Uh, thanks." Dani said, taking everything from Angela's hand. She headed out of the lobby and into the hallway to her room.

The moment that Dani left, two things happened. The first thing that happened was the receptionist leaving and being replaced by a teenage girl. The second thing that happened was The Doctor entering the spa. After dropping off Graham, Ryan, and Yaz in Sheffield so that Yaz could visit her family for a bit, The Doctor had received a message on the psychic paper, which wouldn't have been that strange, except for the fact that rarely could anyone send her a message on there. The message contained coordinates and a date. The Doctor, being the Doctor, was never one to ignore a situation that could need her help, so she entered the coordinates into the TARDIS and took off.

After the TARDIS materialized, the Doctor stepped out and looked at her surroundings. She appeared to have landed at a spa on earth, somewhere in the Midwest in 2019. She entered the spa and approached the receptionist's desk, where the 16-year-old girl, whose own name tag said "Taylor" was standing. As she got closer to the desk, she noticed that despite the teenager's smile, her eyes told a different story. To the untrained eye, it appeared that she was just tired, but to the Doctor, she could tell that there was something more than tiredness going on within the girl and it wasn't just the fact that her eyes were rimmed in red and puffy, as though she'd just been crying. There was something else in those eyes. Pain and fear. Taylor knew what was going on and because of that, Tthe Doctor was now more bound and determined to find out what was going on. However, she was also going to have to get this girl to trust her enough to tell her what was going on.

"Hi, welcome to Tranquil Oceans. Are you here for our spa weekend?" Taylor asked.

"Right. Spa weekend. Yes I am." The Doctor said,

"Ok, I'll just need your name. so I can check you in." Taylor said.

"Ah right. 'Course you do. The name's The Doctor."

Taylor raised an eyebrow at that, but started typing on the computer. She looked up apologetically at the Doctor. "I'm sorry, but I can't find you, but let me check again, sometimes the system likes to not show names."

At that, the Doctor "accidently" knocked over the pen holder. Pens scattered behind the desk.

"Whoopsie. Sorry 'bout that. Clumsy me. You'd be surprised at the places I've been banned for accidently knocking over fragile items." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Oh that's fine. Happens all the time." Taylor said. As she bent down to pick up the pens, the Doctor whipped out the sonic and quickly soniced the computer so her name would show up. She put the sonic back into her jacket pocket just as Taylor finished picking up all the pens. She looked at the computer again and started typing.

"Oh, there we are. The Doctor. It was just being cranky." She handed the Doctor the key to her room. "I hope you enjoy your stay here."

The Doctor accepted the key card from the teen and walked out of the lobby. She found her room, which incidentally ended up being right across from Dani's. However, neither of them would know that the other was here until that night. After entering her room, the Doctor went out to investigate.

That night, Dani was in her room reading a book she'd brought with her. She'd just turned the page to start the next chapter, when all of a sudden, a high-pitched humming sound started going off, causing the young woman to drop her book in surprise and bolt from the bed. The sudden movement of getting up and the high-pitched sound however, caused her to start getting dizzy. She sunk to the floor and leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths, all the while wondering what was going on as screams of what sounded like painm came from the rooms surrounding them. Meanwhile, The Doctor, being in no pain whatsoever, but suddenly alert, bolted from the chair and started scanning the room with her sonic. Frustrated at the lack of results it was giving her, she sighed and put it back in her coat pocket.

Screams of pain could be heard coming from the rooms surrounding them. All of a sudden, the sound and screams stopped and it became eerily quiet, Both Dani and the Doctor opened their doors and peeked out, neither of them noticing the other. What they did notice however, were women walking silently in a line, blank expressions on their face. Interestingly enough, Dani had seen that expression before. Granted, it had been many centuries before this century and in Rome, but you never forgot a look like that. The Doctor also knew those faces. you don't go through thousands of years of travel without seeing a look like that. Dani's eyes widened as it hit her what was happening.

"They're in a trance!" They both whispered, loudly enough for the other to hear them.

Instantly, The Doctor and Dani both turned their heads to stare at each other. The former, instantly knowing who the latter was, while the latter was staring at the former on in shock and confusion. Even though Dani had never seen this woman in her life, she felt like she knew her from somewhere. Meanwhile, the Doctor tried to hide back a grin. She always remembered her former companions, and while she still mourned those who hadn't exactly made it unscathed from traveling with her, there were those who'd left of their own will, and Dani was one of them. She was glad to see that the sound hadn't affected the human woman, however she assumed that it was because the wall her tenth self had put in Dani's head when Dani had been put into a trance by an alien masquerading as a goddess in ancient Rome.

"Well, good to know the neural blocker I put into your mind is still going strong." She said to the young woman.

Dani stared at the woman for a second, wondering how on earth she could know that. Really, the only other person who knew about that was the Doctor because he'd put that wall into her head himself. Dani's confused face turned into shock as she realized who she was standing across was.

"D-Doctor?!" Dani managed to get out.
