"Are you okay? Can you talk?" The Doctor wondered, his face serious.

"Uh…" Alexis cleared her throat. "Yeah. I'm fine. Great. Right as rain. I feel like running a marathon. I feel like I can fly!" She began singing the song, but stopped and blushed after a few verses. "Sorry. You probably don't want to hear my sing—"

"No, we don't," interrupted a girl. She had very short, crookedly cut brown hair and menacing brown eyes. She wore a long-sleeved blue dress that touched the floor, and a ruffly white apron, with a black bow attached at her collar. She looked like a nurse.

"Oh, I don't think I've met you before," she continued, walking over to the Doctor's side. "I'm Elli, the nurse here. Oh, sorry. You might not know what a nurse is. It's a girl who helps—"

"I know what a nurse is." Alexis answered in annoyance. She turned to the Doctor. "Actually, now I feel very queasy. It's like I've just seen… a monster. A hideously ugly monster." She glanced at Elli with a smirk. Mary burst into a fit of loud giggles. The Doctor, oblivious to what had happened, looked concerned. "Well, I'll examine you, then. Come to my office."

Alexis followed him through a door, sticking her tongue out at Elli. Nurse or not, she obviously had a crush on the Doctor. But, he was totally oblivious to her feelings. Perfect.

"I don't think I caught your name," the Doctor said as they came inside.

"Oh, sorry. I'm Alexis." Alexis replied, sitting down on a chair. "I don't think you told me yours, either?"

The Doctor blushed a little and looked away. He cleared his throat a few times, but still said nothing. It was obvious he didn't want to tell her his name, but he also didn't really want not to tell her. Alexis secretly smiled. He liked her. Hopefully, more than that loser nurse.

"Uh…" The Doctor finally spoke. "Its… my name… my name is… Tim."

Alexis smiled sweetly. "See? That wasn't that hard. You're a natural." Tim grinned sheepishly, but then his face grew serious. "Now, you said you feel queasy. What have you eaten recently?"

"Hmm… well, my last meal was some cheese cake and pineapple juice at the Inn." Alexis answered.

"Well, then it wasn't the food. Have you been sick?"

Alexis shook her head. "Actually… I really don't feel sick." What are you DOING, girl? Alexis asked herself. "I just was making a joke, you know, on Elli." Great job, Alexis! Now, go ahead and tell him you've got a huge crush on him too! A vein throbbed in Alexis's temple, and she clutched her hands into fists.

"Oh, that's all?" Then, Tim surprised her by laughing. His laugh was strong, yet mellow. It was clear, too, none of those cheap little "heeheehee" laughs she loathed. "Alexis, it was really nice to meet you. I… I hope you come back often!" His face reddened with a blush. Alexis just gave him a lopsided grin.

"See ya!" Alexis left, her heart beating rapidly, and so loudly she thought everyone could hear it.

"Well?" Mary asked, giggling. "Whadaya think?"

"I think I just met the hottest guy in the world!" Alexis exclaimed.

Mary sighed. "Elli likes him, too."

Alexis nodded. "I noticed. How can her like a snobby-bratty-little-helper-dumb-ass-smelly-jerk—"

"Shhh!" Mary hushed, putting a hand over her new friend's mouth. "We're still here! I think she heard you!"

Alexis turned and saw Elli glaring so hard at her, you'd think ice was shooting from her eyes. "Ooops. We'd better leave." Both girls grinned stupidly at Elli, and they power-walked outside.

"Phew. I totally forgot that she could hear us! Thank you, thank you thank you Mary!" Alexis exclaimed, hugging her friend.

Mary was speechless. "You're welcome," she said after a moment. After they finished hugging, Mary checked her watch. "Damn! Its already 6:30! Mom's going to be pissed!" Alexis gasped, and looked at her own watch. It was true. It was 6:30.

"Shit! I really wanted to get some work in, too," wailed Alexis. "But it was worth it."

With that, both girls giggled insanely before waving good-bye.

"I'll visit tomorrow, promise." Alexis assured Mary before walking away.

When Alexis got home, the first thing she did was throw off her clothes and get into bed.

"Ahh, nice, soft bed," she mumbled before dozing off.
