"Oi!" Donna shouted at the TARDIS. "Where's the control room? Bring me back there right now! Why're you keeping me away?" She'd been searching along the corridors for what seemed like ages. None of the passageways led back to the control room. It was like the TARDIS was deliberately keeping her away from the Doctor and Witha'an. "Come on!" Suddenly, she rounded a corner and was inside the control room again. "Finally! Doctor, I'm back!" There was no response. Filled with sudden fear, Donna went around the console and saw Witha'an and the Doctor unconscious on the floor. "Damn it, not again," Donna groaned. She knelt down and held her hand in front of the Doctor's face. Good, he was still breathing. She patted his face. "Hey, spaceman. Wake up, Martian Boy. Doctor, wake up, we still have stuff to do, remember? You promised me a surprise tonight, on this planet. I'm holding you to that. Doctor!"
"Hmm…Donna?" The Doctor stirred slightly. One eye opened.
"There you are, spaceman," Donna said, relieved. "What happened?"
The Doctor sat up slowly. "Uhh…I fixed stuff. Brain stuff…sorry, it's not working too well right now. Brain, that is. My brain. Kind of overused it, it's tired. Not…making much sense, am I."
Donna shook her head. "No, you're not. You should stop talking. Don't hurt yourself. But you fixed them? All of them?"
"Er, yes. Yes, I think so. Well, I did. Listen, can you hear it? Those two. Yenna and Reytu, they're breathing again."
"Good," Donna replied. "Is Witha'an all right, then?"
"Erm." The Doctor winced in concentration. "Sorry, I'm tired. And he's unconscious. But I think so. You got the supplies then?"
"Yeah, of course. Here you are," Donna replied quickly, handing him all of the bandages she had bundled together to carry easier.
Yeah, sorry that was so short. It's not a long wait until the next chapter, though, and that one is long. So is the next, and that one is either the last or the second-to last chapter. I'm very close to being finished. Thank you for reading, and I'd love it if you dropped a review! Or, you know, save it for the last chapter. That's cool, too.
