Inside the Tardis
Now out of danger inside the Tardis, passengers could finally catch their breath. But after only few seconds, the Doctor understood that his blue box didn't work well at all. His first idea had been to take injured passengers in Jackie Tyler's apartment, the Rose's mum. As at the moment of his previous regeneration, they all would be safe there. Well... More than is this "military" hospital. But, soon, he had to admit that it was totally impossible. He had to resign himself to leave the Tardis hovering in the middle of a distant nebula. He approached the unconcious girl on the metal floor of his Tardis. He couldn't help thinking that just few days before, it was him who was on the same place. And by chance, Jakcie had had the incredible good idea to bring tea on board.
"What a pity we don't have tea today..." thought the Doctor.
Rose wastaking care of the doctor Kelly, her wound was fortunately superficial. By the same time the doctor explained to Rose what excatlly had happened and why she accepted to help Jenny, as incongruous was her request. She felt , she know she had to do it. It was as simple as that. The woman was her patient, she was injured and had just been opereted. Do what she wanted to do in her state was dangerous. But, then she had just woken up, she had grabbed the arm of a doctor very quickly and had explained to the surgeon what was the situation and what she could do to help her. She couldn't stay longer in this hospital, she knew it. The doctor didn't really know why she did what the girl whanted. May be because of this strange felling when she touched her skin...
"Is name is Jenny, isn't it!" asked the Doctor.
"Yes, that's it!"
"Do you know someone with this first name Doctor ?" asked Rose.
"No, never eard. But, please, doctor, what is surmane?"
"Smith, it's Smith! But I think it may be a nickname... and, after what I'm seeing, I really think I could be right!"
Kneeling beside Jenny, the Doctor found at the dart and replied :
"And if it wasn't! Here you are... Humm, Better not touch it immediately, these little things are dangerous... Progressive diffusion, it it is removed too early, the effect can be terrible, and even fatal!"
The doctor Kelly's injury treated with care by Rose, the woman came next to the Doctor and her patient.
Even if she found the Doctor impressive and, she can't help it, extremly attractive, the man scared her too. But she managed to tell :
"She's my patient doctor, please, let me do my job!"
The Doctor nodded.
But, instead of do what she told she should do, doctor Kelly stood immobile, dive right in thinking as few hours earlier in the elevator.
"Doctor? You are THE Doctor? Oh my god, it's impossible... Jenny really wanted to see THE Doctor, not a doctor !"
"What do you want to say?" asked the Doctor.
"Earlier, when she briefly regained consciousness, Jenny told me she wanted to see the Doctor. But when I told her we were all doctors here, she said we weren't THE Doctor. This is as clear as day now, you are THE Doctor!"
The Doctor replied by his smile which nobody could resist, even the "terrible docteur Kelly", as she was called at the hospital.
In order not to succumb to the smile, she tried to refocus on Jenny and pulled out his stethoscope from his pocket. The Doctor remained crouched near Jenny and that was at this moment that he realized something... The doctor Kelly clearly had to listen very carefully to what could only be "two hearts"!
Keeping calm, he pulled out his screwdriver and asked the doctor:
"Please, as a Doctor, let me examine her too."
The doctor stepped back, looking with great attention the Doctor scanning the entire body of the sleeping beauty. The screwdriver sizzled.
"No, no, it's impossible, it can't be... Exclaimed the Doctor. No, she can't be..."
"What do you want to say ? What's happen, Docteur ?" asked Rose, standing next to the Tardis's controls.
Looking at the doctor Kelly, the Doctor told her :
"Do you know she's not human?". His voice was trembling.
"What? What do you want to say? She is as human as I am! One hundred percent human! Since we are aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life, U.S. Hospitals are used to check DNA of every unknown. And she doesn't have any identity cart... So, I can confirm you she is human! I've made the test by myself! I even can tell you she is O negative! This second heart must be a malformation, I don't know, a twin who has never developed..."
"It's incredible... No...Not incredible, impossible..."
"Oh... What's the matter today... Nothing is impossible! Aren't you the proof? Found this box inside and hospital... And, it's, OMG... It's..." Shouted the doctor Kelly.
To bend the rules, Doctor couldn't answer, even when the doctor Kelly said the famous reply "It's bigger on the inside!". He was completely shaken by the arrival of this young girl. He went back to Jenny, taking her hand and squeezing it. He didn' even know why he did that. The only thing he knew in his hearts was that this meeting had completely upset his already very long life.
