Sorry this is such a short chapter. Have a case of writers block. Please review and Enjoy :)
Last time: The Doctor watched the Master fall back down on the bed, out cold. He groaned in frustration again. "Great, now I have two unconscious people on my Tardis."
The Doctor paced, not quite sure what to do. then Amy and Rory came running in. "We heard screaming. What happened?" Amy asked.
"The Professor passed out and so did the Master." He said, still pacing. Then he stopped and looked at Rory, "You're a nurse, do something!" He said, throwing his arms up. Rory nodded and went to look at the Professor.
He checked her, and he sighed, "I can't find anything wrong with her." He said. "Why don't you use your machiny thing to figure it out?" He said, pointing to the computer.
"It blew up when I tried." He said, pouting. "I don't know what to do, it screamed Error at me when it scanned her." He explained.
"Doctor calm down. We just have to wait." Amy said. "She'll come to, soon."
"I hate waiting." He said, flopping down in a chair next to the Professor. He looked at her and grabbed her hand. Still fits perfectly. He thought, smiling. Amy and Rory left about a half hour later saying they were going to their room. The Doctor fell asleep about an hour later clutching her hand like his life depended on it.
A few hours later...
The Doctor woke up to the feeling of someone stroking his hair. He looked up and saw the Professor smiling and running a hand through his hair. "Good morning, sleeping beauty." She teased.
"Hello." He said, smiling. He sat up and looked around, "The Master is still asleep?" He questioned.
"Yah, he exhausted himself." She said, sighing.
"What happened? He said you passed out." The Doctor stated, pointing to the Master.
"I overused my powers. Whenever I use too much of my power, I get extremely tired and I sleep for a while. Nothing to worry about." She said, stroking his hair soothingly
He pouted, "Well, you could have told me that." He muttered. "I was worried about you."
"Awww, was kitten worried about little old me?" She teased. A light blush appeared on his cheeks.
He crossed his arms over his chest and muttered, "I'm not a kitten."
"But you act like one." She teased, ruffling his hair. His pout deepened and she chuckled. "You don't need to worry about me, I am perfectly fine." She said, reassuringly.
He grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes, "I always worry about you." He saw the weight of the years she tried so hard to hide, when his eyes met hers. "What happened while I was gone?" He asked her with sad eyes.
She looked down, "I don't know what you mean." She said, trying to play dumb.
"You know exactly what I mean. I can see it in your eyes." He countered.
"A lot happened Doctor. Maybe one day I will be able to tell you." A bitter smile was on her lips. He let the subject drop and they both sat in silence. Then she smiled and looked at him, "Oh and Doctor," She paused, her smile widening, "I love you, too." She giggled at his smile, it was so big she thought his face would split in half. He leaned forward and pulled her into a kiss. She smiled into it and tangled her hands in his hair. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Since both of them had a respiratory bypass system, the kiss lasted a very long time. They heard someone clear their throat but they ignored the person. They had been interrupted enough. When they did pull apart, they were breathless and they looked to see who was there. The Master had woken up and he was covering his face with his hands. The Professor giggled, "You can open your eyes now, Koschei." She said, rolling her eyes.
"Finally, you guys were taking forever." He teased. She stuck his tongue out at him. Then Koschei turned to the Doctor. "I am so sorry."
The Doctor shrugged, "We all make mistakes. Some are just bigger than others, besides you weren't yourself. You were... insane, I suppose the word would be." The Doctor said, nodding at him. "I forgive you... Koschei." He said, using his name.
Koschei smiled, "Thank you, I don't deserve it."
"Yes you do. If you didn't I would have thrown you into the vortex a long time ago." The Professor teased. Koschei smiled again, "Oh, and Koschei, where is my Tardis?" She asked.
"Have you moved this Tardis?" He asked the Doctor. He shook his head, and he smiled, "Then it should be right outside." He said, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and standing up.
The Professor was about to do the same but the Doctor stopped her, "No you stay here. You're still in recovery."
She pouted, "I'm fine." He made a face, "Really, I am. All better, so I'm going to go see my beloved Tardis." She said, getting up again. The Doctors Tardis groaned as if to say, What about me? The Professor smiled and patted one of the walls. "I love you too old girl. No need to be jealous." She said, and headed for the doorway where the Master was. The Doctor pouted but he followed. Koschei led them out of the Tardis and back into the room they had been in. Koschei grabbed the remote off the floor, and pressed another button. The black door appeared against the door. The Professor squealed in excitement and ran over, bringing out the chain around her neck. The Doctor noticed there were two keys also dangling by the gold ring. The last time he saw the chain he was too preoccupied with the fact she had been married to notice them She unlocked the door and ran inside. "Oh old girl I missed you." She said, leaning forward and hugging the console. Koschei and the Doctor walked inside and looked around.
Koschei looked around with a smile, "Still the same old Tardis." He said, putting a hand on one of the coral struts.
"So you remember Koschei?" The Professor asked, smiling widely at him.
"Course I do, how could I forget! Best three years of my life." He said, walking to the console.
The Doctor eyes widened and he stared at the Professor in confusion, "Three years? you never mentioned three years." He said.
"I didn't think it was important at the time, but yah Koschei travelled with me for three years before he went his separate ways." The Professor said.
"How long ago was this?" The Doctor questioned.
Koschei didn't remember how many years she had said, so he said the next best thing, "I knew her when she was ginger."
The Professor froze and slowly turned to the Doctor. He was frozen then he glared at her, "OH, COME ON! That is not fair! I've been waiting to be ginger FOREVER and you get it so easily!" He said, angrily pacing. "Not fair, Rose Tyler. NOT fair!"
