A/N: (Scowls a bit) I wrote part of those last chapters in a notebook while I was in bed trying to recover from really bad hayfever. It might explain some of the basic mistakes as I was transcribing from notebook to MS Word. Also I really stink at writing medical stuff and making this sound like professional medical stuff. So bear with me. Other note: Don't hurt me if Cameron, Chase and Foreman sound kind of bland in this story. I am really, really, not too good at writing their characters.

Anyway onto the story…. To which none of the chars I own. Although I can still dream about them. Hehe..

Chapter 5

House looked at his patient in the clinic, he was really annoyed as the patient described what her problem was. His patient was a young sixteen year girl.

"Doctor, I have been sick lately. I don't know why?"

"You have a boyfriend, right?"

The girl nodded.

House grinned,"Does your mother, know you have been having relations with him?"

The girl shook her head, "No, she'd kill me if she found out."

House rolled his eyes,"You're pregenat. Good bye."

"But what am I going to tell my mom?"

"Don't know, don't care. I am sure you'll figure out something."

The girl began to cry,"We were so carefull. Zach said he was wearing…."

House began to exit the room and he turned back to the girl, "He probably didn't…."

At that moment the girl burst into even more tears, as House exited.

"What is it Doctor?"

The Doctor grinned,"I thought so. It's Xylomian." The Doctor pointed to a strange looking pod that had been broken into two pieces. Rose thought it looked a bit like a coffee bean only larger and it seemed a bit leathery looking as well.

He frowned,"I thought these guys were extinct. My people manage to wipe them out a long time ago."

"Is that a bad thing, Doctor."

"Oooh yea. It's a bad thing,Rose. The Xylomians have different stages of development. But they don't reproduce in the normal way. They find a race and take it over. They release spores and then transform a person into their speices. Maybe I can come up with a cure…"

"What do you mean maybe, Doctor?"

The Doctor sighed, "My people never bothered to find a cure, Rose. They were a race my people just sought to eliminate before they became a problem."

"Kind of like the Daleks…."

The Doctor nodded sadly.

(Flashback)

"We're talking about the Daleks. The most evil creatures ever invented. You must destroy them. You must complete your mission for the Time Lords!"

"Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other and that's it. The Daleks cease to exist. Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations can live without fear... in peace, and never even know the word "Dalek".

"Then why wait? If it was a disease or some sort of bacteria you were destroying, you wouldn't hesitate."

"But if I kill. Wipe out a whole intelligent life form, then I become like them. I'd be no better than the Daleks."

"Doctor, are you allright?"

"Huh?"

Rose sighed,"You looked like you were a million miles away."

The Doctor sighed,"Perhaps I was Rose. But we have to get back to the hospital"

"Doctor, the Xylomian thingy?"

"Oh…yea. Let me get a pair of gloves or something."

"Gloves? Is it that bad?"

The Doctor nodded and went inside his TARDIS for a moment and came out with a pair of gloves, a container and a pair of tongs.

"Doctor, you're acting like this is something out of a nuclear reactor!!"

"It should be allright, Rose. The spores have already dispersed. But….I am not touching it. I can't really be sure what would happen if I touched it."

He carefully handled the pod and put it into a container and sealed it up.

"Come along, Rose."

"Doctor, what are you going to say to them at the Hospital?"

"I don't know. But don't worry I'll think of something. I always manage to think of something."

The two entered the TARDIS and it demateralized….

Chase and Cameron sighed, they had finished talking and asking Julie's friends questions and testing them plus all of her friends had a rash as well. The parents weren't really that much help. All they did was worry about their daughter. Chase couldn't blame them and Cameron spent a few moments comforting and reasureing them that they would find the problem.

Chase sighed and said to Cameron,"I think we are dealing with an infectious diesase."

Cameron nodded,"But it's not like any disease I have ever dealt with before."

"I know. But her friends have rashes as well. Should we put them in observation and monitor them as well?"

Chase sighed for a moment," I suppose we should. Better to be safe than sorry. What if it's some autoimmune disease?"

Cameron looked thoughtful,"That is a possiblity. Lupus can cause a rash, but it doesn't explain why Jullie's friends have rashes as well?"

Chase nodded,"I still believe that I am right about it being an allergic reaction of some sort."

"We should go see what Forman has come up with on his tests on the girl, and we need to run those tests that we have on the samples from her friends."

XXXX

Forman had gathered his samples and tests and had finished running them but he really had no answers on what was causing the problem. All his tests on known chemicals and plants brought no answer to his questions.

Cameron and Chase came in with the samples they brought from Jullie's friends.

"Forman have you come up with anything, so far?"

"No. Nothing so far. I am still waiting for the results from one last test."

Cameron spoke,"Well we talked and gathered some samples to test from Jullie's friends. All of them have rashes as well. Chase and I don't know what to make of it either."

The Doctor entered with a grin on his face, he held the container that held the pod in it and he plopped it on a nearby table. "Hello….what did I miss?"

All three doctors looked at the Doctor's container, their eyes wide eyed at the strange unknown plant sample that was in it….

A/N: Credits: Genesis of the Daleks for the really good Sarah Jane Smith and Doctor quotes in the flashback moment. I was thinking of writing in who was speaking but thought it was better to leave it the way it was.
