"Doctor!" Holly shouted. No response. She got dressed in jeans and a yelled tank top, putting her pocket watch in one pocket, and her small laser gun in the other. She thought of what the Doctor said the night before. She tried to follow his instructions exactly. She opened her door, walked down the hall, and smelled pancakes. She smiled in glee, automatically happy. but she didn't see the kitchen...

"Hello?"

"Hello!" The Doctor popped out from behind the door, making her almost scream, but instead she ran forward and hugged him.

"Oh, ok!" He said, surprised. But he yanked the laser out.

"Whats this?" He asked, looking serious.

"I... I don't know... I found it in my bedroom one day, and... after I found it... it seemed like every time I got hurt, I healed almost instantly... I thought it was some sort of good luck charm..." Holly said honestly.

"Well its not its a weapon, and its possessed. Its sucking the life out of you and replacing it with what Jack has!" the Doctor called, as he used the sonic on it from down in the control room. But again, when she heard the buzzing from it, she felt... at home...

"What is that..." She asked slowly as she got closer.

"I'd hold onto something..." was all he said, and she got a bad feeling. So she grabbed a coral-looking supporter and held on as tight as she could.

"Hold on!" He yelled as he opened the door of the tardis, and space wind swept in. He threw the laser into the space dust, and shut the door, immediately going to check on Holly.

"Ok Holly, this may hurt a little, I don't know yet, but I need you to keep calm! Alright?" He said sternly. Then he gently took my hand and put it in his.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." He said, and then it hit me. A wave of energy, and of power, then of pain and hurting. Then my legs suddenly felt like they were on fire. The fire was spreading to my hips... my stomach... my arms...

"Help!" Holly screamed.

"Its making you non-immortal! It may feel painful but you need to keep calm!" He told me. She grabbed his hand tighter and tried not to move. Then the pain started to subside, and she gently started to drift to sleep.

"I guess we'll have pancakes the second time you wake up." He jokes, and that's the last thing I saw before I fell unconscious.

"Doctor..." Holly moaned sitting up.

"Holly! I thought something happened... I-" The doctor stopped talking and instead just walked over to my bed. "You just survived being immortal, and are now mortal again... welcome to the tardis..." He joked.

"Wait... what happened to Jack..." she asked.

"His vortex manipulator malfunctioned and sent him here, I dropped him off back where he belonged a while ago." He explained

"Oh, well... then can I have those pancakes you promised me?" Holly asked harmlessly, but was rejected.

"But its dinner time! And you've been asleep for 2 days! Why don't I take you, and we go anywhere in the world, and eat anything, your choice where and what! And when..." He said, suddenly questioning his judgement.

"Italy, spaghetti." she said, instantly more awake.

"Alright then!" He smiled happily and raced out of the room.

"Wait! I- whoa!" Holly said as she stood up and got light headed.

"Whoa!" The Doctor said as he came back in and stopped her from falling down.

"I can't see!" She started to panic.

"No no no! Its ok! Its ok! Its tunnel vision... your just light headed. It'll go away in a second..." He grabbed her arms and steadied her. And he was right, it did go away.

"Blimey, why can't I stop looking at this girl! I'm acting so... HUMAN! I mean I know she beautiful... and her hair smells like apples... and her face shines, and her eyes sparkle like the moons of- NO stop it! Bad Doctor! Bad!" He mentally argued until she got her vision back.

"Why can't he stop holding my arms like that? Or just... not smile! I can't love him! He can't be loved! I bet its against some weird law he has... but then why can't I just stop falling in love with him?" Holly asked herself in her head. But when she looked over at him she got her answer. His face showed it all.

"Because deep down... you think he may just love you to..."
