Now the next chapter *cheer*

Donna looks with shock at him. She knows who Susan was. And she knows that Susan was dead. "What? No, Doctor. It´s me! Donna!", she say, kneeing down to him. "Donna?", he try to focus on here, but his eyes start looking in different ways. "Yes it's me, Spaceman", Donna says hopefully.

He shakes his head. Try to sort his swirling thoughts. Yes...Donna...Of course! "Donna...wait...Why am I on the floor? Wait another moment...How we get in the TARDIS?", he look around, try to understand what has happened. Donna smiles. It was anything ok now. But she doesn't know that it was not over.

After she has tell him the whole story, about what has happened he sits up and start thinking. "Doctor, now it´s your turn", Donna says. He looks for a short time at here and then start to speak:" It´s the rain. I don´t know why, but it's poisonous."

Donna's eyes widened. "What!?", she ask with mild panic in her voice and starts to wipe the water from her face. "Calm down Donna, everything is alright!", he tries to soothe her. "Alright?! ALRIGHT!?", she now start to wring here hair out. "Donna! It´s OK! The rain is not poisonous to human!" Immediately she stops.

She breaths some deep breaths in and out. "But what about you?", She ask him, after she has calmed down. "I´m always fine", but it was instantly plain, that his words where a lie. Suddenly he jerked forward and wraps his arms tight around his stomach. "Doctor!", Donna hurries to him. "It´s alright", he says trough gritted teats.

"Yeah, it looks like you perfectly alright", Donna say with biting sarcasms. He looks with half closed eyes in her face and tries to smile. But he only grimaces. Donna starts to rub circles on his back. They sit for a few minutes in the same position, then the Doctor start to relax. "I think I go to sleep", he says with quiet voice. "Do you need something?", Donna ask him, as he start to stand up.

"No, I don't need anything. But maybe you go to sleep to, you look tired", he say and walk slowly out of the room. "Maybe it´s really a good idea...", Donna says to herself with a yawn and set out for her room.

*#*

A few hours later Donna woke up with a start. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Instead of hearing the loud humming noise of the TARDIS, which she hears every time she wake up, there was nothing to hear. "Oi, Spaceman! When we have crashed I will kill you", she mutters sleepily.

Donna wanders with her pyjamas trough the TARDIS. Finally she reaches the console room, but nobody´s there. "Oi! Doctor!", she says in the empty room. And then she sees something strange. The tube on the console was not moving. The lights on the console don't blink. And Just a few of the ceiling lights where shining. "Oi, you! Time machine!", Donna starts," what´s going on here?" But there was no reply. Of course there is no reply, Donna thinks, she hasn't even said a "good morning" hum, like every morning.

Maybe I should search the Doctor? Donna walks out of the room and start her search. After half an hour, suddenly a blue door falls in her eye. Carefully she knocks at the door. "Doctor? Are you in there?", she ask. But there was no respond. "Doctor?", she tries a little bit louder. Nothing. But in the same instant, as she give up and begin to walk away, she hears a soft groan. "Doctor?", she ask again. Another groan now followed by a faint coughing.

"I´m coming inside!", she answers and push the door open. The room behind it was dim and cold. Some bookshelves, some beanbags, a big desk, a hat stand with some funny hats and a ridicules long, multicolour scarf, a fluffy dark blue carpet and a big bed, also in dark blue. And on this bed Donna sees the skinny form of the Doctor. He was lying with the face down and crosswise on his bed. Donna rush´s over to him and turn him around. His face was covered with sweat and he was painting heavily. Donna shakes him to wake him up and realize that he was shivering.

She place here hand on his forehead. "Fever", she says, "of course fever means that you are completely `alright´." In the same moment the Doctor the Doctor opens his eyes a little bit. With bloodshot eyes he looks at Donna and mumbles: "Maybe I´m not really alright..." He starts coughing again. "Come ´ere, let´s put you under the covers", Donna means and helps the Doctor to lie properly on the bed.

"So...", Donna looks at the Doctor," what do we do about the poison?" He opens one eye and answers:" Dunno, I try to ask the TARDIS...later...when the room stops spinning..." Then Donna remembers something:" Um...Doctor? I was in the control room and the light was almost completely out. This tube on the console was not moving. And the humming was gone." "WHAT?", the Doctor jerked up, but drops immediately back. Donna was alarmed:" What is wrong?!" But the Doctor has already closed his eyes, his faces shows deep concentration.

A few seconds later he open his eyes again and says with hoarse voice:"I don´t know how, but she is...asleep." "It can sleep?", Donna ask with curiosity. "No, she cannot sleep. She never sleeps...Maybe it´s because the poison accrues her to. And she is not a ´it´." Donna raises her eyebrows, but don´t inquire further. Now, there where far more important things to do. But one question she just needs to ask: "How the poison can accrue it...her?"

The Doctor runs his hand over his face and looks at here, like a teacher to a student after he asks what 1+1 is. "There is a telepathic link between us both." "Ah, of course. Everymen has a telepathic link to a machine." They start both laughing. But suddenly the Doctor clutches his hands at his head. "Spaceman, what is it?", Donna ask worriedly. But instead of answering here the Doctor curls to a ball and groans loud. "Doctor! Doctor!? What´s wrong? Answer me!", Donna tries to talk to him, but he only curls tighter and start to whimper.

"Shh, is alright Martian", she stroke his hair out of his face. Then suddenly she has an idea. "Stay here, I´m right back", and she went to her room. Five minutes later the most of her luggage was on the floor and she was rummaging through her suitcase until she put out a little pill box. "Maybe some aspirin will help the Doctor."

And here is the end. But now you must excuse me, because I just have seen a really scary horror film. *dives under covers* *pop out my head* Ps: Time Lords are allergic again aspirin, so what want to happen *evil laugh*
