"What? What is it bad?" the Doctor asked worry tainting his voice.

Maya was about to answer when the doors to the balcony they were on began to rattle. "Not now!" she said and pulled the Doctor away from the doors. "We can talk latter." She kicked off her heels and pulled the Doctor towards the stairs. "I love those shoes." She said mostly to herself as they maneuvered through the Sontarans that were rolling around in pain. She took one of their gas bomb things that would knock them out and opened it before tossing it in the room and shutting the door-the lock didn't hold seeing as it had been blasted to bits- and she pulled the Doctor back in the direction of the TARDIS.

She decided that most of the Sontarans had left the room to hunt them down so it was better to face a few who were left to guard the TARDIS before the Doctor figures out what happened to him rather than face an army of Sontarans and have the Doctor figure out right in the middle. He would be completely useless.

They managed to make it back to the meeting room with a minimum amount of wrong turns to find two Sontarans guarding the TARDIS.

"Halt!" The first one of them said.

"Where is the Doctor?" The other asked.

Maya turned to the Doctor and said "Let me talk." To which the Doctor nodded.

"Doctor who?" She said acting dumb.

"Do not play games with us. Where is the Doctor and where did you find this GIRL?" The second one said.

"Girl?" the Doctor asked confused.

"Sontarans… rubbish with gender. Remember?" Maya said quickly and went back to talking to the Sontarans in front of her.

"Oh that Doctor…we split up. He ran away saying something about ruining your plans or something. I really don't know he tends to talk really fast and I wasn't focusing on what he was saying. I was trying to stay alive."

"Then why are you here?" The second one asked rather abruptly.

"He told me to meet him back here. Picked up a stray along the way." She said motioning to the Doctor.

"So we keep you hostage and he will come." The first one said

"Oh I doubt that. We got in a fight right before we got here. He was taking me home. I am done with him and he is done with me."

"The doctor will save anyone." The second one reasoned.

"That pompous, rude and arrogant guy, I doubt it, obsessed with himself this one is . it is all me, me, me with him. I tell you it is so annoying. What out fight was about actually…" she faded out to make it seem like she was thinking about the fake fight "Anyway…he wouldn't risk his life for me."

She took a step closer. "I just want that…" she nodded to the TARDIS "…and I will be off."

"You would leave the Doctor behind?" The first one asked in disbelief.

"I owe him nothing. He is worthless to me. I am not dying for that man. I take the TARDIS and he is stuck here and I am finally rid of that man." Maya gave the Doctor a look as if saying sorry.

"You will not come back?" The second one asked.

"Not at all that man is worth nothing to me. I will happily leave him behind." She could see both the Sontarans deciding "If it means anything he did run away saying and I quote 'These puny creatures. Not worth the air they breathe. I will destroy them all.'"

Maya knew this had worked because they grunted and ran out of the room. The Doctor unlocked the TARDIS and set to work getting them into the time vortex. "Gullible lot they are, a fight… really? Sorry about that by the way it was the only way I could think to get them to let us go."

"It is fine. So what do I look like?" the Doctor asked. "Am I ginger?"

Maya went to the council and pushed some buttons to make the TARDIS stay in the time vortex. "How about I show you?" she asked holding out her hand.

She guided the Doctor to their room and stood him in front of the mirror. He took one look and his jaw dropped "No!" he shouted.

"Yes" Maya said

"I'm a… I'm…"
