The Doctor banged on the recesses of his mind, as he saw scenes of twenty first century Earth pass him by.
So far he had been able to provide enough distraction that the vampire couldn't concentrate enough to actually bite anyone but he knew that would change. He had to take back control of his body, but for once he was lost for ideas, he didn't have any idea of what to do.
He saw that his body had stopped outside a door; a hand rose within his sight and banged on the wood. A moment later the door creaked open to reveal the face of Mickey.
"Shut the door" the Doctor shouted, but only he and the vampire heard.
"Can I help you mate?" Mickey was saying.
"It is me" the vampire spoke, "I have regenerated again, and need your help."
"Doctor?" Mickey enquired, "I have only just got use to the second Doctor, and now you have changed again?"
"Yep" the vampire knocked on Mickey's forehead, "always did have trouble understanding things, but that is why you are Mickey the idiot."
A hurt expression crossed Mickey's face, he had thought that the Doctor thought much more of him these days, but it seemed he was wrong."
"I was wrong" the Doctor was shouting within his head, "he isn't an idiot."
"So" the vampire pushed his way into the flat, "read any good books recently?" he sniggered. He flopped down on the only armchair in the room, and looked up expectantly at Mickey.
"You need my help?" Mickey suddenly remembered what the Doctor had said. He suddenly felt important again, he was needed by the Doctor.
"Yeah" the vampire started to laugh, he was enjoying himself so decided to add to the young man's lack of self esteem, "I wanted you to tell me how to boil an egg, but now I remember you don't know how." And he started to laugh.
"Why do you want to boil an egg?"
The vampire pointed at Mickey, "oh you are priceless, rather stupid, but so funny."
"Hey, wait a minute" Mickey had had enough, "I thought you were okay now, sure when I met you, I wasn't too keen on you, but since you changed, you were a different man, nicer, kinder. Now it seems that you are worse that the Doctor I first met."
The vampire stood up, and ran in a rush of light towards the door, which he slammed shut.
"Mickey the idiot" he grinned, his fangs now showing in his smile.
"Oh no" Mickey shouted, "you have regenerated into a vampire."
"Indeed" the vampire said, and within seconds was behind Mickey lowering his teeth to his neck.
"Oh no you don't" Mickey yelled, and ripped himself away from the deathly embrace. He turned around and pulled something out of his pocket. "Sonic mp3 player, beaming loud music into your head" he declared.
"Well done Mickey" the Doctor said proudly, even though he had his fingers in his ears. He watched as the young man flung open the door and ran out.
The vampire was in deep pain, he was listening to "oh Mickey" by Toni Basil.
