Disclaimer: I like fish fingers and custard.
A/N: Sorry, sorry, and sorry again! I was meant to post this several days ago, then I was going to post it yesterday but I had a slight car crash and I couldn't get my brain to function properly. But anyways, thank you all you lovely lovely reviews. You are all fantastically brilliant! Keep those reviews coming, on with the show...
They made their way back into the hospital and down towards the main entrance where the Judoon were storming in. They managed to find a little bit of cover in the form of some plants on a balcony that was overlooking the reception area.
"Oh, look down there, you've got a little shop. I like a little shop." The Doctor said excitedly.
Kari whacked him lightly on the arm. "Never mind the bloody shop." She let out a sigh. "You and your little shop."
Martha looked at the pair. "What are Judoon?"
"Galactic police. Well, police for hire…" The Doctor started, before being cut off by Kari snorting.
"More like interplanetary thugs." Kari pointed out. The Doctor nodded at her, she was actually right.
"And they brought us to the moon?" Martha asked curiously. She knew where they were, but how they got there was still a mystery.
"Neutral territory. According to galactic law, they've got no jurisdiction over the Earth, so they isolated us. That rain? Lightning? That was them, using a H2O scoop." The Doctor told her.
"What's that about 'galactic law'? Where'd you get that from? If they're police, are we under arrest? Are we trespassing on the moon or something?" Martha's brain was working overtime, trying to work out different theories and solutions. Trying to make sense of everything that was happening around her.
The Doctor beamed at Martha. "No. But I like that. Good thinking. No, I wish it were more simple. They're making a catalogue, it means they're after something non-human, which is very bad news for Kari and me." They watched as the Judoon shone lights into people faces before marking their hands with a black cross.
"Why?" Martha asked, receiving nothing but serious looks form both Kari and the Doctor. "Oh, you're kidding me." Kari shrugged her shoulders, as if not being human was no big deal. She didn't really feel any different to when she was a human. "Don't be ridiculous. Stop looking at me like that." Martha was getting more and more nervous now.
Kari nudged the Doctor a little. "I think we should move now."
The Doctor nodded at her. "Come on." He helped her up and led her away from reception, Martha following behind them.
At first they walked at a quick pace through the different corridors of the hospital before they ended up in a light jog. Kari was the one to stop them and drag them into a room, which she knew would have some computers in. Just what the Doctor needed.
The Doctor quickly sat himself down in front of one of the computers and whipped out his sonic screwdriver from his jacket pocket. He started inspecting the computer, Kari sat on a chair gazing out of the window. While Martha had gone to check on the progress of the Judoon.
"Kari, you okay? You're rather quite." The Doctor asked her in concern.
Kari looked over at him and smiled. "Course I'm okay. Sorry if my quietness worries you."
The Doctor didn't get a chance to ask her anything else as Martha came rushing into the room, just as Kari knew she would. "They've reached the third floor. What's that thing?" She asked, nodding at the slim silver tube that the Doctor was holding.
"Sonic screwdriver." Kari told her, getting up from where she was and leaning on the desk by the Doctor.
Martha looked at her sourly. "Well, if you're not going to answer me properly."
The Doctor stopped and turned to face Martha. "No, really, it is. It's a screwdriver, and it's sonic. Look." He said, turning his screwdriver on, making the end of it light up blue and emitting a whirring noise.
"What else have you got? A laser spanner?" She asked sarcastically.
"He did, but it was stolen by Emily Pankhurst." Kari told her, watching what the Doctor was doing, and forgetting that she was saying things that the Doctor should be saying.
The Doctor smiled at Kari, but she didn't smile back. "Cheeky woman." He said, before turning his attention back to the computer. He whacked the monitor before getting very frustrated. "Oh, this computer! The Judoon must have locked it down."
"Judoon platoon upon the moon." Kari mumbled, not paying too much attention to what the Doctor was telling Martha.
"'Cause we was just travelling past, I swear, we was just wandering, we wasn't looking for trouble, honestly, we wasn't, but Kari noticed these plasma coils around the hospital, and that lightning, that's the plasma coils, been building up for two days now, so I checked in, I thought something was going on inside, it turned out the plasma coils were the Judoon up above." The Doctor ran a hand through his hair before giving Kari a concerned look.
"But what are they looking for?" Martha asked him, noticing the looks he was giving Kari.
"Something that looks human, but isn't." The Doctor told her, still watching Kari gazing off into space.
"Like you two. Apparently." There was some uncertainty in her voice. She didn't believe that they weren't human.
"Like us, but not us." The Doctor was worried, no he was more than worried, and it wasn't even himself he was worried about. He was more concerned about Kari. Not only was she acting very distant, but also if the Judoon found her, well, he didn't even want to think about it.
"Haven't they got a photo?" Martha wondered.
The Doctor thought for a moment. "Well, it might be a shape changer." He told her.
"Whatever it is, can't the pair of you just leave the Judoon to find it?"
Kari let out a sigh and turned to face Martha. "If they declare the hospital guilty of harbouring a fugitive, they'll sentence it to execution."
"All of us?" Martha asked in shock.
"Oh yes. If I can find this thing first… Oh! Just that they're thick! Judoon are thick! They are completely thick! They wiped the records. Oh, that's clever." He whacked the monitor to the computer several times before running his hand through his hair again.
Martha nodded, understanding that she needed to do something. "What are we looking for?"
"I don't know. Any patient admitted in the past week with unusual symptoms." Both Kari and Martha could see how frustrated he was getting.
"Maybe there's a back up?" Kari said helpfully, trying to get the Doctor back on task.
Martha nodded at her. "Just keep working. I'll go ask Mr Stoker, he might know." Kari nodded back at her and watched her leave the room.
"Come on then, Doctor. Get that back up working," Kari tried to be cheerful.
"I don't like it when you're this quiet. It just doesn't seem right. I'm too used to you talking my ear off." The Doctor told her as he carried on working on the computer.
"Well, I'm struggling to believe that I'm going to talk as much as that. I've never been much of a talker, I like my quiet and solitude." Kari said as she pulled herself up so that she was sitting on the desk next to the computer the Doctor was working on.
"Usually I can't shut you up." The Doctor was smiling at her as he worked on the computer. "You can be very loud when you want to be."
Kari let out a few giggles. "Well, that is certainly going to be interesting when that time comes isn't it?" She paused for a moment, thinking of what happened earlier. "Is that why you put your hand over my mouth? Because you thought I was going to ramble on like you do?"
The Doctor didn't answer her, neither did he look at her. That just made Kari even more suspicious of him. "Doctor, you're hiding something. Remember, I know you. What's going on?"
He let out a sigh and turned to face her. He was about to speak when the computer started bleeping. "Ha! Restored the back up. Come on, let's go and tell Martha." He jumped out of the chair and grabbed Kari's hand, pulling her along with him.
They bumped into Martha after running along the corridor and turning the corner. "I've restored the back up." The Doctor announced, rather pleased with himself.
"I've found her." Martha told them, struggling to catch her breath from the running she had just done.
"You did what?" The Doctor asked in shock. Kari looked and saw two men heading straight towards them, luckily the Doctor had noticed them as well. "Run!" He shouted, grabbing hold of Martha's hand as well and dragging both the woman with him.
They charged down a stairwell, the men in leather still chasing after them. Then they noticed the Judoon coming up the stairs, straight towards them. Kari thought fast and dragged the Doctor and Martha through a set of double doors and into a corridor.
The Doctor smiled at her and pulled them toward the radiology room. He threw Kari and Martha behind the protective screen and locked the door with his sonic, leaving one of the leather men hammering on the door.
"When I say 'now', press the button." The Doctor ordered at Martha.
She looked at him blankly. "I don't know what one!" She cried, not knowing what to do.
Kari shook her head and grabbed the manual from the shelf and passed it to Martha. "Here, this will help you work it out."
The Doctor stood in the main area of the room, his sonic screwdriver in hand. He was frantically trying to get it to the right setting, while Martha was frantically trying to find the right button to press. Suddenly the door was broken off its hinges and one of the leather men walked into the room.
"Now!" The Doctor yelled, aiming some machinery at the leather man.
Kari noticed that Martha still hadn't found the right button to press. She rolled her eyes and slammed her hand down on the big yellow button on the control desk. The machine started up and the room filled with a bright light.
"What did you do?" Martha asked as the light dimmed and the machined stopped.
"I increased the radiation by five thousand per cent. Killed him dead." The Doctor told her, giving Kari a quick wink.
"Isn't that likely to kill you?" Martha asked. It was evident that she was worried about the Doctor.
"Nah, it's only radiation. We used to play with roentgen bricks in the nursery. It's safe for you both to come out, I've absorbed it all. All I need to do is expel it." The Doctor started hopping about, Kari was doing her best not to start laughing, at least not just yet.
"If I concentrate I can shake the radiation out of my body and into one spot. Say, my left shoe. Here we go, here we go, easy does it…" He was now hopping about, shaking his foot, and that was all Kari needed to see to burst out in hysterics. "Out, out, out, out, out. Out, out, ah, ah, ah, ah. It is, it is, it is, it is, it is hot. Ah – hold on." He quickly pulled his shoe off and tossed it into the bin. Kari was still laughing away, clutching her side as she did.
"You're completely mad. Both of you." Martha told them, not knowing if the Doctor's 'dance' or Kari's laughing was worse.
"You're right. I look daft with one shoe." The Doctor yanked off his other shoe and threw that in the bin to join the other. "Barefoot on the moon." He said happily, before realizing that Kari was still giggling away.
He stepped over to her and folded his arms across his chest. "Something amusing, dear?"
Kari took a deep breath and looked up at the Doctor. "Oh no, of course not, dear. Nothing amusing at all." She said, trying her best to keep a straight face. The Doctor frowned at her. Kari bit her lip but couldn't contain it any longer. She started giggling again. "Sorry, sorry. Just give me a minute."
"Is she alright?" Martha whispered to the Doctor.
The Doctor just let out a sigh. "Yeah, she's fine. She get's like this sometimes."
Martha just shook her head and stepped over to the leather man now lying dead on the floor. "So what is this thing?" She asked. "And where's it from? The planet Zovirax?"
"It's just a Slab." The Doctor told her, kneeling down beside her. "They're called 'Slabs'. Basic slave drones, see?" He tapped on the Slab. "Solid leather, all the way through. Someone has got one hell of a fetish."
Kari seemed to have finally calmed down and was standing by the machine the Doctor had used to kill the Slab. She had a sad look on her face as the Doctor walked over to her. She nodded to his sonic screwdriver and he plucked it out of the machine.
"But it was that woman, Miss Finnegan." Martha told the pair. "It was working for her. Just like a servant."
"My sonic screwdriver." The Doctor whined, like a little child. Kari patted him reassuringly on the shoulder.
"She was one of the patients, but…"
"Burnt out my sonic screwdriver!" The Doctor continued to moan, with Kari still trying to reassure him.
"Oh, don't worry, dear. We'll get you another one. It will be okay." She told him softly.
"She had a straw like some kind of vampire." Martha continued.
"I loved my sonic screwdriver!" The Doctor moaned. Kari shook her head at him, this wasn't going to be the only time he had to save lives without his beloved sonic screwdriver.
"Doctor!" Martha cried in frustration. He hadn't even realised that she had been talking to him.
"Sorry." He said, before Kari pulled the screwdriver out of his hand and tossed it over their shoulders. The Doctor grinned at her before turning back to face Martha. "You called me 'Doctor'."
"Anyway." Martha said shaking her head. "Miss Finnegan is the alien. She was drinking Mr Stoker's blood."
"Funny time for a snack." Kari said, without really thinking.
The Doctor just beamed at her and nodded. "You'd think she'd be hiding. Unless… no. Yes, that's it, wait a minute. Yes!" The Doctor cheered. "Shape-changer. Internal shape-changer. She wasn't drinking blood, she was assimilating it."
Martha just looked at the Doctor blankly, not understanding a word of what he had just said. Lucky for her, Kari knew exactly what to say. "If she can assimilate Mr Stoker's blood, mimic the biology, she can register as human."
"We've got to find her and show her to the Judoon. Come on." The Doctor said, grabbing Kari's hand and running out of the room with her. Kari didn't care, she was actually enjoying herself, and she loved the running.
Once Martha had caught them up Kari stopped and pulled the Doctor down, motioning for Martha to do the same. They waited and watched as another Slab walked past the end of the corridor they were hiding in.
"That's the thing about Slabs. They always travel in pairs." The Doctor said, keeping his voice quiet.
"What about you two?" Martha asked, looking at the two.
"What about us?" Kari asked, a frown on her face.
"Haven't you got back-up? Come on, you must have something?" Martha asked.
"Yeah, I'm his back up." Kari said, grinning away and making the Doctor smile as well.
"You're his back up? Just you? No one else?" Kari wasn't too sure she liked the tone Martha was using with her.
The Doctor seemed to have noticed the change in her tone as well as he rolled his eyes. "Oh, humans. We're stuck on the moon running out of air with Judoon and a bloodsucking criminal, and you're asking personal questions. Come on."
"I like that. 'Humans'. I'm still not convinced you're an alien." Martha said as they all got up and turned around. They were faced with several Judoon, shining a blue light into the Doctor's face.
"Non-human." The Judoon announced.
Martha looked at the Doctor in shock. "Oh, my God, you really are!"
The Doctor grabbed Kari's hand tightly, more tightly than he had done before, before grabbing Martha's hand as well. "And again." He said, before the trio started running some more. The Judoon were firing at them, but they made it to the stairwell and to another floor.
Kari looked around at the people, they all had marks on the back of their hands. "They've done this floor."
The Doctor nodded at her. "Come on. The Judoon are logical and just a little bit thick. They won't go back to check a floor they've already done." He started pulling Kari along with him again, and she noticed that he was no longer holding onto Martha's hand.
Kari just shook her head and looked at all the people in the corridor they were walking down. They were getting weaker, the air was quickly running out and soon, people were going to start to lose consciousness.
"How are you feeling? You both alright?" The Doctor asked, looking at the women.
"I'm running on adrenaline." Martha told him, grinning away.
He turned all of his attention to Kari. "What about you? How you doing?" Kari noticed the higher concern in his voice when he asked her to when he asked Martha.
"Oh, you know me." She told him, giving him a huge smile.
"Welcome to our world." He said to Martha, now that he was sure Kari was okay.
"What about the Judoon?" Martha asked the Doctor as they continued walking along the corridor.
"Great big lung reserves. It won't slow them down." Kari told her.
"Where's Mr Stoker's office?" The Doctor asked, not knowing which way to go.
"It's this way." Martha said, leading the pair along.
Once they made it to the room, it was empty, apart from the body lying on the floor. "She's gone. She was here." Martha said, looking at the pale body on the ground.
"Drained him dry. Every last drop. I was right. She's a plasmavore." The Doctor said, inspecting the body.
Martha looked at the Doctor and Kari. "What was she doing on Earth?"
"Hiding. On the run. Like Ronald Biggs in Rio de Janeiro." Kari said as she stood up and started pacing the room.
"She's still not safe. The Judoon could execute us all. Come on." The Doctor took hold of Kari's hand again and started leading her out of the room. She yanked him back and waited for Martha who was kneeling down, closing Mr Stoker's eyes.
"Think, think, think. If I was a plasmavore surrounded by police, what would I do?" The Doctor was thinking aloud again. Kari lightly coughed and looked up at the sign on the wall. "Ah. She's as clever as me. Almost."
Kari rolled her eyes at him and was about to say something when they heard Judoon approaching from behind them. They were preparing to execute the non-human as soon as they found them, which was bad for Kari and the Doctor.
The Doctor bit his lip before turning to face Martha. "Stay here. We need time. You're going to have to hold them up."
Martha just looked at him in confusion, but Kari already knew what he was planning to do and had turned around. For some reason, she really didn't want to watch. "How do I do that?"
"Martha forgive me for this. It's to save a thousand lives, it means nothing. Honestly, nothing." The Doctor said as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her lightly, leaving Martha more than a little stunned. He grabbed hold of Kari's hand again and they both started running again.
The Doctor kept glancing at Kari as they ran, she hadn't looked at him since they had left Martha. "It was nothing, Kari. It meant nothing." He assured her.
"You might need to tell Martha that again later." Kari said in a rather flat tone.
The Doctor stopped in his tracks, forcing Kari to stop as well. "Kari, it honestly meant nothing."
Kari shrugged her shoulders at her. "Sure, it's nothing to do with me." The Doctor cupped her face, much like he had done with Martha, and kissed her. He kissed her differently to how he kissed Martha, this was full of passion.
He pulled away from her, leaving her shocked and breathless. "Now that, was not nothing." He whispered to her, before dragging her into the MRI room.
"Have you seen them?" He said, noticing Miss Finnegan over by the machine. "There are these things. These great big space rhino things. I mean, rhinos from space. And we're on the moon. Great big space rhinos with guns on the moon." The Doctor rambled, keeping Kari slightly behind him. "And I only came in for my bunions, look." He lifted up one of his feet to show the woman. "I mean, all fixed now. Perfectly good treatment. The nurses were lovely. I said to my wife," Kari gave the woman a little wave form where she was standing, "said I'd recommend this place to anyone, but then we ended up on the moon. And did I mention the rhinos?"
The woman glared at both of them. "Hold them." She said. The Doctor and Kari were both grabbed by a Slab. The grip on their arms was tight, and Kari winced a bit at the pain shooting through her arm.
"Oi, get your bloody hands off us!" Kari shouted, not liking the situation her and the Doctor were in one little bit. She started struggling with the Slab, trying to get out of its grasp.
"Oh, you should learn to control your wife better." Miss Finnegan said, smirking as she stepped closer to Kari. Kari felt the woman's hand make contact with her face and her cheek started to sting.
"Is that the best you can do?" Kari said, taunting the woman. She knew that the Slab wouldn't be able to hold both of them when it came to her having a snack. Miss Finnegan snarled at her and nodded to the Slab who threw her back across the room, her head hitting the wall.
"No! Kari!" The Doctor shouted, seeing her eyes flutter closed. He watched her for a moment, her chest was still rising and falling, she was still breathing. He could feel the anger rising in him but he knew he needed to stay calm, otherwise people were going to die.
"That thing, that big machine thing, is it suppose to be making that noise?" The Doctor asked the woman curiously.
"You wouldn't understand." She replied, paying him no attention and keeping her focus on the controls for the machine.
"Isn't that a magnetic resonance imaging thing? Like a ginormous sort of magnet? I did magnets at GCSE. Well, I failed, but all the same." The Doctor said casually, glancing back at Kari, making sure she was still breathing normally.
"A magnet with it's setting now increased to 50,000 Tesla."
"Ooh. That's a big strong, isn't it?" The Doctor was trying to play dumb, he knew how strong it was, and what would happen.
"It'll send out a magnetic pulse that'll fry the brain-stems of every living thing within 250,000 miles. Except me, safe in this room." She was smiling at him smugly.
"But… hold on, hold on, I did geography for GCSE, I did pass that one, doesn't that distance include the Earth?"
"Only the said facing the moon. The other half will survive. Call it my little gift." She was still smiling smugly, it was making the Doctor even more determined to stop her.
The Doctor shook his head a little, still trying to play dumb. "I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me, I'm a little out of my depth. I've spent the last fifteen years working as I postman, hence the bunions. Why would you do that?"
"With everyone dead, the Judoon ships will be mine, to make my escape."
"No, that's weird. You're talking like you're some sort of an alien." The Doctor said, pretending to be surprised.
Her smug smile grew even more. "Quite so." She was all too pleased with herself.
"No!" The Doctor cried is shock.
"Oh, yes."
"You're joshing me."
"I am not." She replied firmly.
"I'm talking to an alien? In hospital? What, has the place got an ET department?" the Doctor asked with wide eyes.
"It's the perfect hiding place. Blood banks downstairs for a midnight feast, and all this equipment ready to arm myself with should the police some looking for me." It seemed that Miss Finnegan was quite happy to tell the Doctor all about her plans.
"So, those rhinos, they're looking for you?" The Doctor asked her, even though he already knew the answer.
"Yes. But I'm hidden." She told him, showing him the mark on the back of her hand.
"Right. Maybe that's why they're increasing their scans." The Doctor told her, knowing that it would make her panic.
The Doctor was right. Instantly her face fell. "They're doing what?"
"Big chief rhino boy, he said, no sign of a non-human, we must increase out scans… up to setting two?"
"Then I must assimilate again." Miss Finnegan said in a bit of a panic.
"What does that mean?"
"I must appear to be human."
"Well, you're welcome to come home with me and the wife. I'm sure I can talk her round into forgiving you. We'd be honoured. We can have cake." The Doctor told her enthusiastically.
"Why should I have cake? I've got my little straw." She said as she pulled a straw out from her bag.
The Slab held the Doctor tighter as the woman approached him with her straw. "I'm afraid this is going to hurt. But if it's any consolation, the dead don't tend to remember." She said as she pierced his neck and began drinking his blood.
Kari was still unconscious, propped up against the wall when the door to the room burst open and a hoard of Judoon entered the room, followed by one Martha Jones. The Doctor's body fell to the floor.
"Now see what you've done. This poor man just died of fright." Miss Finnegan told them, hiding her straw back in her bag. One of the Judoon scanned the Doctor, and confirmed that he was deceased.
"No, he can't be. Let me through, let me see him." Martha's eye widened as she pushed through the Judoon to get to the Doctor. Something over the side of the room caught her eye and she noticed Kari and the fact that she was still breathing. "But it was her. She killed him. She did it. She murdered him." Martha told the Judoon, focusing on Miss Finnegan.
The Judoon refused intervene in the Doctor's murder, as they had no authority over human crimes, which just frustrated Martha even more. Martha pleaded with the Judoon, tell them that Miss Finnegan wasn't human, that she was the one they were after, but all Miss Finnegan done was wave her marked hand in front of her, the mark that she was human.
Then it all fell into place. "Wait a minute. You drank his blood? The Doctor's blood." Martha grabbed one of the scanners from the nearest Judoon and shone the light on Miss Finnegan. The woman was too confident, too arrogant and insisted they scan her.
"Non-human." The leader of the Judoon announced. Miss Finnegan's face fell.
"He gave his life so they'd find you." Martha said sadly. She had barely had a chance to get to know the man who was now dead on the floor. The man who died to save everyone in the hospital.
"Confirmed: Plasmavore. I charge you with the crime of murdering the child princess of Patrival Regency Nine." The Judoon stated.
Miss Finnegan confessed to the crime, gloating, saying how she was proud to have done it. It didn't take long for the Judoon to declare her guilty and sentence her to execution.
"Enjoy your victory, Judoon, because you're going to burn with me. Burn in hell!" She screamed as she was fired upon by the Judoon. She turned into nothing but dust, as did her Slab.
"What did she mean, 'burn with me'? The scanner shouldn't be doing that. She's done something." Martha asked the Judoon as she rushed to the Doctor's side. Kari was starting to stir a little now.
"Scans detect lethal acceleration of mono-magnetic pulse." A Judoon stated.
"Well, do something! Stop it!" Martha cried.
"Our jurisdiction has ended. Judoon will evacuate."
"You can't just leave it. What's it going to do?" Martha asked. Kari pulled herself off the floor as the Judoon all started to evacuate and return to their ships.
"Blimey, that wasn't as much fun as I thought it was going to be." Kari mumbled as she stumbled across the room to the Doctor and Martha. "Martha, start CPR. I'll sort out the machine."
Martha looked at her. "But what's it going to do?"
"Martha, you really don't want to know. Just, help the Doctor. And remember, two hearts." Kari told her before dragging herself behind the screen and to the controls for the machine. She looked at the plugs, she couldn't remember if it was the red one or the blue one that she needed to pull out.
A few moments later she felt someone beside her. Kari looked over and saw the Doctor, struggling to stand just as much as she was. "I can't remember which one it is." Kari cried, feeling completely useless and stupid.
"What one do you think it is?" The Doctor asked her, looking at the plugs himself.
"Red." She told him, but she wasn't totally sure. The Doctor just nodded at her and pulled the red plug out. The machine powered down and became quiet. The Doctor smiled at her before taking her hand and both of them stumbling over to where Martha was now passed out on the floor.
The Doctor gently scooped her up, Kari held onto his arm tightly. Together, they walked through the hospital, all the staff, patients and visitors all now unconscious. They finally stopped and looked out of the window, watching the Judoon ships leave.
"Come on, come on, come on. Come on, Judoon, reverse it." The Doctor smiled as rain pelted against the windows. "It's raining, Martha. It's raining on the moon." He glanced over at Kari and saw that she was struggling to keep herself standing.
Outside of the hospital, the Doctor had his arm tightly wrapped around Kari's waist. "Are you sure you're okay?" The Doctor asked her for what seemed like the millionth time.
"I keep telling you, yes. Doctor, if it will make you shut up you can check me over when we get back to the TARDIS. How does that sound?" Kari knew that the only way to shut him up would be to let him take a look at her.
"Right, good." He turned and spotted Martha looking at them both. He nudged Kari and she turned around, both of them smiling and giving Martha a little wave before disappearing.
"Come on, TARDIS. I could do with a nice cuppa while you pretend to be a doctor." Kari said, heading towards the blue box.
"Oi! What do you mean 'pretend'? I'm the Doctor." He protested as he reached into his pocket to get the key for the TARDIS. Kari didn't answer him, she just grinned and put her hand on the door. It clicked open, much to the surprise of the Doctor and Kari, Kari would have fallen straight into the box if the Doctor hadn't been quick to tighten his grip on her and hold her up.
"That, was not funny." Kari said, pointing a finger at the time rotor in the centre of the console and wagging it. The TARDIS hummed a little in response, Kari just let out a sigh. "Oh, forget it." She said before plonking herself down in the chair by the console.
The Doctor sat himself down next to her. Kari grinned at him as he started playing with his new sonic screwdriver. "So, what did you think of Miss Martha Jones then?" She asked him, knowing where it would all lead.
"Is that a hint?" He asked her, not bothering to turn and notice the way she was looking at him.
A/N: Well, what did you lovely people think? How long will Kari be hanging around for before she is whisked off somewhere else? And where could she go next? Of course, I know the answer to all those questions. But how much do you want the next chapter?
Remember to review!
