(I don't own anything)
Martha Jones, 1st person
I was running down the hallway. I had heard that Mr. Smith had fallen down the stairs.
Jenny had taken over the rest of the breakfast round for me so I could make sure he was ok.
As I got closer I heard some ow's and grumbling. I burst through the door. "Is he all right?" I asked/shouted.
"Excuse me Martha, but it's hardly good form to enter a master's study without knocking." Said the Matron.
"Oh, right, yeah." I said, with slight sarcasm. I ran back to the door and knocked on it, keeping it open.
"So, are you all right? I heard you fell down the stairs." I said, addressing Mr. Smith this time.
"Oh… it was just a tumble." He said.
"Did you check for a concussion?" I asked the Matron.
"I have, and I daresay I know a lot more about it than you." Said the Matron rather rudely. There's another rude person to add to my list of people I dislike.
I pursed my lips and nodded. "Sorry." I mumbled. "I-I'll just tidy up."
"I was just telling Nurse Redfer… Matron about my dreams." Said Mr. Smith. "They are quite remarkable tales."
I tuned it out until I heard. "I dream that I have two hearts."
I sighed sadly as the Matron said. "Well I can be the judge of that."
She pulled out a stethoscope and checked his heartbeat. "Only one heart." She said.
"I've written down some of them in the form of fiction." He said, "Not that you'd be interested…"
"Oh I'd be very interested." Interrupted the Matron.
He stood up and went over to his desk. He picked up a little journal.
"I've never actually shown it to anyone before." He said.
She read the cover. "Journal of impossible things…"
John Smith, 1st Person.
I looked at the first page of my book and saw the drawing of the console room in my space travel machine.
As she turned the pages I saw my- no, The Doctor's- sonic screwdriver.
I saw the gas-masked people that were always searching for their mummy's.
Then I saw a Dalek, who was the enemy of The Doctor. The Dalek's that would always scream "exterminate!" at anyone who was not Dalek.
I saw machine parts and the spacemen that were like clocks.
The she turned the page and said. "Quite an eye for pretty girls." Said Joan, showing me a picture of one of my companions.
"Oh… that's one of my characters… Rose, I call her." I said. "She disappeared… I don't know why."
But I did know why. She had been sucked away to another universe. I didn't talk about because, even though she was fictional, I had grown attached to her. It was as if I had known her, or someone like her, who I had lost.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Martha looking at the page sadly. It looked as if… as if she had heard about Rose before. But I was sure I had never told anyone Joan about her!
I decided not to mention it to Martha.
But then I saw the metal men. Those metal men had taken Rose from The Doctor. The Doctor had loved Rose, but she had been taken away.
Then I saw the blue box. I quickly explained to her what it was and what it could do.
I saw all the different faces of The Doctor next. All the way up to me.
Martha, 1st person
"Ma'am, that book!" I called after the Matron.
"Oh, I'll look after it! He did say I could read it." She said.
"But it's silly! They're just stories." I said.
She sighed. "Who is he Martha?"
"I'm sorry?"
"It's like he knows he's got something to get back to, but he can't remember what." She said.
"That's just him."
"You arrived with him, didn't you? He found you employment at the school?"
"I used to work for the family, he just sort of inherited me." I said.
"Mmm… well, I'd be careful. Sometimes you seem a little familiar with him. Best remember your position." She said, turning away.
I rolled my eyes. "Yes ma'am." I said, annoyance clear in my voice.
Third Person, students.
"A Latimer, Latin translation." Said one of the boys, throwing a book at Timothy Latimer. "I want it done by morning."
"Yes sir." Said Tim. Tim was a student, just like the other boys, but they still treated him like a servant.
"Oh look, father got a promotion. That means more money. Maybe I'll go to a better school." Said on of the boys.
"You should enjoy it sir. My uncle was in Johanas burg (Is that how you spell it?) for six months. Said it was the most beautiful place he'd ever seen." Said Tim.
"What?" Asked the boy.
"Africa. The school is in Africa." Said Tim.
The boy stood up. "How do you know that? Have you been reading my post? I just read it myself!" He said, pushing Tim up against the wall.
"No! I just guessed." Said Tim. "I'm good at guessing, that's all."
"Idiot." Mumbled the other boy, pushing Tim away and walking to a chair.
"Sometimes I guess thing, and they are correct. Just little things. I can't help it." Said Tim. An eerie silence settled upon the room. It was interrupted by Baines.
"Enough of that! Who's up for beer?" Said Baines, giving a sly, and slightly creepy, half smile.
"You have beer?" Exclaimed one of the boys.
"No, but Baxter's hidden a supply in the woods, I'll go get it." Said Baines, walking over to the window.
He crawled out the window and ran for the beer.
Martha, 1st person.
We were sitting outside the pub. I was complaining about not being able to drink inside the pub, while Jenny was trying to explain that we couldn't.
"Don't you just want to scream sometimes! Thank goodness I'm not staying." I said.
"You keep saying that." Said Jenny.
"Just you wait, one more month and I'm as free as the wind." I said.
"Where are you gonna go?" Asked Jenny.
"Anywhere! Just look up there." I said, gesturing to the sky. "Imagine you could go all the way out to the stars… that's where I'm going."
Jenny laughed. Suddenly I saw a green light in the sky.
"Did you see that?" I asked Jenny.
"See what?"
"Right up there, just for a second!"
"Martha there's nothing there."
Rose Tyler, 1st person.
"Rose, if you don't make it competently to that universe, you'll have to come back when the cracks start closing." Said Johnson.
"I have to try. There is probably one crack that will let me through enough so I can make it to the universe." I said hopefully.
"Yes, but something doesn't seem right." Said Pete, who was the manager of this Torchwood base. "I don't like this. Something is going on in the other universe to make cracks appear."
"I know, but I have to try." I said. "I have to see him again."
"I don't want to risk it! If the cracks collapse and your not completely in that universe you'll be stuck in the void." Said Thomas, another worker at Torchwood.
"But if something really is wrong, I need to help. If the walls of the universe collapse completely, everyone in both universes will die. I think risking my life to save fourteen billion people is ok." I said.
Pete sighed. "Your too stubborn." He said. "Fine, we'll try."
I practically broke down right then and there. "Thank you!" I yelled, running into his arms and hugging him.
I ran off the place that I knew had the perfect sized crack to let me through. I ran right into the room that opened the crack between the two universes on the day I lost the Doctor.
It was the room that would take me back to him.
