Chapter 2: Smith, Jones, and Brooks, Oh my!

ROYAL HOPE HOSPITAL

BREAKROOM

Artemis sighs as she stood in the break room drinking her tea, they had just finished another lesson with Mr. Stocker before he dismissed them for lunchtime.

She took a sip of her drink before looking over at Martha who was on the phone with her sister about their brother's birthday party, from what Artemis knew the party was going to be very tense if what she was heard was correct.

"No, listen, I've worked out a plan, we tell Annelise that the buffet tonight is one hundred percent carbohydrate, and she won't turn up," Martha said making Artemis chuckle at the joke attempt.

Martha then shook her head saying "In this weather? I'm not going out, It's pouring down,"

'Rain? When did it-oh!' Artemis thought before taking note of the heavy rain as she finished her drink and put the cup in the sink.

She looked out the window trying to see something but the rain was too heavy, was it a trick of the light or was the rain only around the hospital?

"Well, you just got lucky," Martha said in the background.

Artemis pulled back from the window scratching her head, she was very confused by the rain. But, why did she feel a mix of unease and excitement?

"Yeah, but listen, I'll tell you what we'll do," Martha paused for a second making Artemis turn around in time to see a man walk by, they both locked eyes before he quickly left.

'Who was?' Artemis thought trying to remember who she just saw.

"We tell Dad and Annalise to get there early, about seven thirty, and we tell Leo get there at the same time so we can do all that birthday stuff," Martha said as Swales froze in making her drink to stare out the window.

Artemis took note of this and went to ask what was wrong when she saw Swale looking out the window, looking over she felt her eyes widen in shock. How is that possible!

"We tell Mum to get there for about eight thirty, nine, and that gives me time to have a word with Annalise, and," Martha said until she was cut off by Artemis touching her arm.

"Um, Martha?" Artemis said not taking her eyes from the window.

"What?" Martha asked looking over at her best friend.

"The rain," Swales said beside Artemis.

"It's only rain," Martha said not seeing the problem outside.

Martha's sister must have said something because Martha then asked: "Why is everyone fussing about the rain?"

"Oh, I don't know maybe because the rain is going up!" Artemis said pointing at the window making Martha look over in shock and disbelief.

Martha lowered her phone as she stared out the window and closing it out of reflex as Artemis went to take a step closer to the window only for a loud crash of thunder and bright light to hit them, Artemis covered her eyes as the building jolted sending her to the floor. She quickly curled up and covered her head to protect herself as she felt stuff go flying around the room, after a few seconds of shaking it finally stops.

Martha who had almost been thrown into the hallway sat up looking a little unease and shaken, only to give a small airy chuckle at what Artemis asked.

"Are we alive? Cause if this is heaven I'd hate to see hell," Artemis asked slowly getting up looking around.

"Ah, no, still in the hospital," She said shaking her head, Martha rolled her eyes a bit trust her friend to say something like that in a situation like this.

Getting to her feet Martha asked, "What the hell was that?"

"Are you alright?" Swales asked the both of them getting up while helping Artemis up.

"I think so, yeah, It felt like an earthquake, or," Martha started to say until Swale cut her off.

"Martha? It's night, look! It was lunchtime," Swales said taking note of the darker room making them look over at her before noticing the window.

"Holy cow, that's...that's not possible!" Artemis said starting at the window in numb awe and shock.

"It's not night," Martha said moving to the window.

Swale shook her head saying "But it's got to be, it's dark,"

She then looked out the window as Martha said: "We're on the moon!"

"I noticed Martha," Artemis said blinking hard at seeing the Earth in the distance over the crater-covered surface.

Artemis when remembered all of the patients that would be panicking right now, oh boy! This was gonna be hard, calming down a hospital full was not gonna be easy.

Right as Artemis thought this a lot of yelling and screaming started.

"Let's move!" Martha yelled as she ran out of the room with Artemis and Swale right behind her.

ORTHOPEDIC WARD

After running through the hallways trying to calm people down the three ladies arrived at the Orthopedic ward where Martha decided to speak up.

"All right now, everyone back to bed, we've got an emergency but we'll sort it out! Don't worry," She said before going over to the windows.

"This is bloody amazing, how is this possible?" Artemis asked leaning on the window looking out at the moon.

Martha nods saying "It's real, It's really real, hold on," She then reached to open the window only for Swale to grab her arms starting to panic a bit herself as a sob left her mouth.

"Don't! We'll lose all the air!" She said making Artemis frown.

"But they're not exactly airtight? If the air was going to get sucked out it would have happened straight away, but it didn't," Artemis explained examining the windows.

Martha held Swales arms before glancing at her friend asking "So, how come?"

All three women were startled when a voice spoke up behind them, Artemis spun around to see Mr. Smith now in a blue suit making her mentally grin a bit she did like a man in a suit. She pushed those thoughts away as he walked over to them.

"Very good point! Brilliant, in fact, what was your names?" Mr. Smith asked looking at Martha and Artemis.

"Martha and this is Artemis," Martha said nodding towards her friend who sent the Doctor a grin.

"And it was Jones and Brooks, wasn't it? Well then, Martha Jones, Artemis Brooks, the question is, how are we still breathing?" Mr. Smith said walking past them to look at the windows himself.

Swale shook her head saying "We can't be!"

"Obviously we are, so don't waste my time," He said before addressing Martha and Artemis who watched him closely.

"Martha, what have we got? Is there a balcony on this floor, or a veranda, or," He asked only to be cut off by Martha.

"By the patients' lounge, yeah," She said a little confused while Artemis broke out into a huge smile.

"Fancy a moonwalk, anyone?" Artemis asked making Mr. Smith turn to her.

"We might die," He said locking eyes with Artemis who nods saying "We might not,"

He then grinned saying "Good, Come on! Not her, she'd hold us up," He pointed at Swales as he left with Artemis following him while Martha sent Swales an apologetic look before following them.

PATIENT'S LOUNGE BALCONY

The trio soon arrived at the balcony where they shared a quick look before slowly opening the doors and stepping outside, Artemis grinned as she looked at the black sky dotted with stars. It was a stunning and beautiful to witness up close like this.

Artemis took a deep breath as Martha asked: "We've got air, how does that work?"

"Let's just be glad it does," Artemis said walking forward to lean on the balcony.

Martha did the same as Mr. Smith stood with his arms behind his back.

"I've got a party tonight, It's my brother's twenty-first, my mother's going to be really, really," Martha said her voice trailing off.

"You okay?" Artemis asked reaching over to hold Martha's shoulder.

"Yeah," Martha nods making Artemis raise an eyebrow at her asking "You sure?"

"Yeah," Martha said looking at her friend.

"Want to go back in?" Mr. Smith asked watching the two females.

Martha shook her head saying "No way! I mean, we could die any minute, but all the same, it's beautiful,"

"Do you think?" Mr. Smith asked while Artemis grins taking her hand off Martha's shoulder before looking back at the Earth.

"How many people want to go to the moon? And here we are," Artemis said before standing straight and holding out her arms saying "Standing in the Earthlight!"

Martha chuckles at her friend before asking "What do you think happened?"

Mr. Smith glanced at her asking "What do you think?"

"Extraterrestrial! It's got to be!" Artemis said rather loudly making Martha and Mr. Smith turn to her as she grinned saying "I don't know, a few years ago that would have sounded barmy, but these days? That spaceship flying into Big Ben, Christmas, those Cybermen things,"

She then made an uneasy face remembering something saying "And those pepper pots in the sky, ugh! Hate those things! blgh!"

Artemis missed the snort Mr. Smith gave as he watched her, Martha who did hear it shot him a confused look before saying "I had a cousin, Adeola, she worked at Canary Wharf, she never came home,"

Artemis calmed down looking at her friend knowing who was on about, Adeola was a nice gal great to hang out with and chat. She still remembered the day when Martha got the news of her cousin's passing.

"I'm sorry," Mr. Smith said looking sad as Artemis gave a sad smile of her own.

Martha gave a small nod looking at the Earth saying "Yeah,"

"I was there, in the battle," Mr. Smith said looking at the Earth himself an unreadable look that Artemis could not read, wanting to comfort the man she reached over and gently touched his back making him jump a bit.

Looking over his shoulder he saw Artemis giving him a small smile, an understanding smile. He stared at her for a few seconds before giving a nod, Artemis gave a nod back before pulling her hand away.

"I promise you, Mister Smith, we will find a way out, if we can travel to the moon, then we can travel back, there's got to be a way," Martha said pushing away her sad thoughts as determination filled her there were people here that needed help.

Artemis nods saying "Right if something brought us here it can take us back,"

Mr. Smith then pushed away from the balcony saying "It's not Smith, that's not my real name," He then looked over the edge of the balcony on the sides.

"So, who are you, then?" Artemis asked turning to 'Mr. Smith' as he looked around making him pause and look at her.

"I'm the Doctor," He said making Artemis tilt her head at him.

"Me too, if I can pass my exams, what is it then, Doctor Smith?" Martha asked looking at Doctor Smith.

Artemis shook her head, she wanted to be a nurse instead of a Doctor.

"Just the Doctor?" Artemis asked as she crossed her arms, so far, the 'Doctor' was proving to be a very interesting man.

"Yeah," He nods making Artemis smirk shaking her head.

"How do you mean, just the Doctor?" Martha asked a little confused.

He looked at her saying "Just the Doctor,"

"What, people call you the Doctor? " Martha asked not really believing the man.

"Yeah," He repeated while glancing at Artemis who chuckled sending him an amused look.

"Well, I'm not, as far as I'm concerned, you've got to earn that title," Martha said turning to look back at the Earth while Artemis shrugged.

The Doctor raised an eyebrow at Martha before saying "Well, I'd better make a start, then. Let's have a look,"

He bent over and picked up a stone from the ground as Artemis watching him, she couldn't help but feel curious about the man known as 'The Doctor' yet apart of her felt...sad? It was hard to explain, like a part of her was sad for the Doctor.

Shaking her head she watched on as he said "There must be some sort of," He paused and threw the stone past Artemis making her spin around to see it hit something in the air.

"A Forcefield! It's keeping the air in," Artemis said smirking so that's why they still had air!

"Correct," The Doctor said moving to stand by Artemis.

"But if that's like a bubble sealing us in, that means this is the only air we've got, what happens when it runs out?" Martha also dreaded to ask making Artemis's gut twist.

'Oh, shit!' Artemis thought going a little pale at the thought.

"How many people in this hospital?" The Doctor asked looking at Martha and Artemis.

Artemis took a deep breath before answering "Almost a thousand, if not more,"

'Including children and newborns,' Artemis thought to herself.

She narrows her eyes a bit, she alway's loved children and babies and had dreams of having her own one day. But, when she thought of finding Mr. Right to settle down with she always got this terrible feeling of guilt and would stop searching. So, after a while, she just gave up looking maybe Mr. Right will come to her? Who knows.

Shaking her head Artemis looked at the Doctor as he said "One thousand people Suffocating,"

Martha looked horrified asking "Why would anyone do that?!"

Artemis then heard a strange noise making her look up yelling "Heads up! You can ask them yourself!"

The Doctor and Martha looked up to see a big tube like spaceship fly overhead followed by two others, Artemis watched as they flew over and landed in front of the hospital not too far away.

"Aliens! That's aliens, real, proper aliens," Martha said almost breathless as she watched the aliens march towards the hospital.

Artemis got one of her bad feelings as she watched the aliens march, this would not end well for some reason. Wanting to confirm her bad feeling she looked at the only person who seemed to know what those things were.

"Well, I take it that is not good?" Artemis asked looking at the Doctor who had a grim look on his face.

"Judoon," The Doctor said making Artemis sigh.

'Why are my feelings right? Why can't I just have an off day of mistakes instead?' Artemis thought as she watched the aliens below.

Well, out of the frying pan and into the fire as they say!

Here come the Judoon! And Artemis reveals one of her little secrets, what is it you ask? Well, stick around to find out!
