Chapter 1 – The Eleventh Hour Part 1
"So that thing, that hid in my house for twelve years?" Amy said to the Doctor, something which sparked Scarlett's curiosity. "Multiforms can live for millennia. Twelve years is a pit-stop." The Doctor replied not really answering Amy's question and adding to Scarlett's interest. Scarlett decided to make her presence known to Amy and the Doctor "So how come you show up again after 12 years, on the same day that lot do? The same minute!" Scarlett said placing her hands on her hip, giving the Doctor a look which said mess with this and you'll get a slap "Yeah, what I was thinking" Amy said looking perplexed at Scarlett's memory and timing. "They're looking for him, but they followed me. They saw me through the crack, got a fix, they're only late because I am." The Doctor said "What's he on about?" Rory questioned. "Nurse boy, give me your phone." The Doctor, ignored Rory and turned serious with a hint of demand, well Scarlett thought hint, it was more of an order. "How can he be real? He was never real." Scarlett was getting confused now, as Rory had revealed a couple of minutes ago that this was the Doctor, the Raggedy man that Amy had made him dress as. "Phone. Now. Give me." The Doctor was completely ignoring Rory and seemed to be focusing on the big issue, an issue Scarlett still needed to be caught up on. "Wait, Doctor, Amy what exactly is happening" Scarlett used the same tone as the Doctor had when demanding the phone from Rory. "Well basically what is happening is the crack in Amy's wall has a prison on the other side and a prisoner has a escape, Prisoner Zero to be precise. And...well...it's on the loose and a giant eye ball is threatening to kill all life on earth unless they can find their escapee." The Doctor stated in a rush yet control manner and to Scarlett's surprise he seemed to be rather enjoying the impending doom of the human race. "Right thanks for that, but why can't they find him?" Scarlett questioned, "Well he can changed his form and is currently hiding as a human, and the Atraxi can't identify who is who. Sorry who are you?" the Doctor had a quizzical look on his face and Scarlett was so caught up in his little explanation that she didn't realise that he had asked her a question "Oh, sorry, I'm Scarlett, Scarlett Jones and you must be the Doctor. Well Amy has told me so much, never heard the end of it actually. It's an honour to meet you finally. Hey Rory it's your dress up dude!" Scarlett finished her sentence pointing at Rory with an enormous grin and her face. "Well it's nice to meet you Scarlett Jones. I'm the Doctor and-" the Doctor was cut off by Rory "He was just a game. We were kids. You made me dress up as him." Meanwhile the Doctor had managed to snatch Rory's phone while he was complaining, and began to flick through the images on the Rory's iPhone. "These photos, they're are all coma patients?" the Doctor enquired , Rory replied" Yeah." "No, they're all the multiform. Eight comas, eight disguises for Prisoner Zero." The Doctor now looked like the cogs in his brain were now working faster than before. "He had a dog, though. There's a dog in a coma?" Amy, feeling left out, place her impute. "Well, the coma patient dreams he's walking a dog, Prisoner Zero gets a dog. Laptop! Your friend, what was his name? Not him" pointing at Rory "the good-looking one." Rory looked genuinely upset, "Thanks" he retorted "Oh you mean Jeff" Scarlett said "Oh, thanks. Yeah thanks very much Scarlett". Rory looked seriously annoyed, "Wait you weren't there Scarlett. How did you know that 'the good looking one' was Jeff, unless you find him good looking" Scarlett looked down to the ground at this point "Well I, I mean, who..who...you Jeff" Scarlett's stuttering didn't help her hold her ground in this situation and she was thankful that the Doctor decided to cut in at this point. "He had a laptop in his bag. A laptop. Big bag, big laptop. I need Jeff's laptop. You two, get to the hospital. Get everyone out of that ward. Clear the whole floor. Phone me when you're done."The Doctor clearly didn't know which way to go "here I'll take you" Scarlett offered. "But how can he be here? How can the Doctor be here?" Rory asked while he and Amy got into the car. The Doctor shouted to Amy and Rory to get to the hospital and he and Scarlett would meet them there.
-SCENE CHANGE-
Jeff was lounging on his bed when the Doctor and Scarlett burst into his room. "Hello. Laptop. Give me." The Doctor said walking over to the bed "No, no, no, no, wait." Jeff made a poor attempt of trying to stop the Doctor from grabbing the laptop, "It's fine. Give it here." "Hang on!" Jeff's final attempt to stop the Doctor failed as he managed to get the laptop and see what Jeff was looking at. "Blimey. Get a girlfriend, Jeff." The Doctor said with wide eyes. Meanwhile Scarlett was trying desperately not to sniggered at the exchange but retorted to Jeff "Jeff a great guy like you shouldn't really be wasting his time on the internet looking at picture, you should be out in the real world searching for one" Jeff stood up and faced Scarlett "I would be I think my perfect woman is standing in front of me" Both Jeff and Scarlett began to blush at this but neither answered. The Doctor was watching the interaction between the man and woman and couldn't help but feel something, wait was he jealous, no how could he be jealous he barely knew this girl. STOP IT DOCTOR. Mrs Angelo entered Jeff's room, "Gran." Jeff said rather startled " What are you doing?" the old lady asked. "The sun's gone wibbly, so right now, somewhere out there, there's going to be a big old video conference call. All the experts in the world panicking at once, and do you know what they need? Me. Ah, and here they all are. All the big boys. NASA, Jodrell Bank, Tokyo Space Centre, Patrick Moore." The Doctor gave a mini speech, which really impressed Scarlett, so this is the man who Amy talked about, I can understand why people may like him. Wait what why am I thinking this, I barely know him "I like Patrick Moore." Jeff's gran said rather excitedly "I'll get you his number. But watch him, he's a devil." The doctor said. "You can't just hack in on a call like that." Jeff's voice was full of concern. "Can't I?" the Doctor had a rather smug look, which really made him look rather sexy. OH GOD, Scarlett control yourself. Six faces came up on the screen, all labelled as above plus ESA and CSIRO. The Doctor showed them a blank piece of paper "what's that?" questioned Scarlett "it's blank" the Doctor looked back to the paper and started at Scarlett with amazement and shocked "It's physic paper, its allows the reader to believe what they want to see. Helps get me through tough situations. How is it blank for you?" Okay the Doctor thought she is really intriguing me now. On screen Patrick Moore spoke up "Who are you?" "This is a secure call, what are you doing here?" another man asked. "Hello. Yeah, I know you should switch me off, but before you do, watch this." The Doctor said doing something clever at the same time. "It's here too, I'm getting it." Patrick Moore said. "Fermat's Theorem, the proof. And I mean the real one. Never been seen before. Poor old Fermat, got killed in a duel before he could write it down. My fault. I slept in. Oh, and here's an oldie but a goodie. Why electrons have mass. And a personal favourite of mine, faster than light travel with two diagrams and a joke. Look at your screens. Whoever I am, I'm a genius. Look at the sun. You need all the help you can get. Fellas, pay attention." The Doctor said, reminiscing about something, while still getting to the basis of his point but not making it any clearer about what he was doing."Sir, what are you doing?" thank you NASA for stating the obvious, well I was thinking that too thought Scarlett. "I'm writing a computer virus. Very clever, super fast, and a tiny bit alive, but don't let on. And why am I writing it on a phone? Never mind, you'll find out. Okay, I'm sending this to all your computers. Get everyone who works for you sending this everywhere. Email, text, Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, radar dish, whatever you've got. Any questions?" the Doctor now was in a mood that really did make him look sexy, GOD Scarlett , NOT. THE. TIME. "Who was your lady friend?" Patrick Moore asked "Patrick, behave. But this is Scarlett, a new lady friend" "Doctor, I'm not your lady friend in that way. I'm not" Scarlett said with a pleading look towards the screen "we have literally just meet. But I have just got caught up in everything" "So what does this virus do?" one man said "It's a reset command, that's all. It resets counters. It gets in the wifi and resets every counter it can find. Clocks, calendars, anything with a chip will default at zero at exactly the same time. "But yeah, I could be lying, why should you trust me? I'll let my best man explain." The Doctor stated "Jeff, you're my best man." Slapping Jeff on the back. "You what?" Jeff looked surprised "how am I meant to do this, I, I can't, I... what?"Poor Jeff Scarlett thought "Listen to me. In ten minutes, you're going to be a legend. In ten minutes, everyone on that screen is going to be offering you any job you want. But first, you have to be magnificent. You have to make them trust you and get them working. This is it, Jeff, right here, right now. This is when you fly. Today's the day you save the world." The Doctor said, placing hope in Jeff's mind. "Why me?" Jeff asked "It's your bedroom." Both Scarlett and the Doctor stated. They looked at each other and it was the first real time that they got a proper look at each other. Scarlett took note of his appearance. He was tall, bandy. He had a mop of brown hair on his head that was parted at the side. Despite his raggedy appearance he was quite sexy, those high cheekbones made him sexy. The Doctor was also looking and study Scarlett. She was tall about 5ft 8 and had blonde hair that went down to the middle of her arm. Her blue eyes were staring into his brown ones and they seemed to be having a battle for dominance. She was beautiful. "Now go, go, go." The Doctor said as he grabbed Scarlett's hand as they ran out the door.
"Okay, guys, let's do this." Jeff gave a deep breath before typing. "Oh, and delete your internet history." The Doctor popped back round and left and understanding Jeff. "Doctor where are we going" Scarlett asked, she was trying to ignore the bolt of electricity flying through her hand as the Doctor was still holding it. "We are commandeering a vehicle" the Doctor said while keeping her hand firmly locked in his and turning around and taking her with him. OH god, she would be death of him. This was the start of a whole new adventure for both the Doctor and Scarlett. Finally something was happening to Scarlett and it made her forget her past and how lonely she was.
More coming and hopeful more character development.
