Oochya- Slowly the Doctor opened his eyes and stared up. Above him were stars... But they weren't familiar.. With a sudden realisation, the Doctor sat quickly up. He was still in bed, his bed and in his pajamjams with a teddy bear. The whole thing had been a dream!
Yawning, the Doctor made a mental note before falling back asleep to never eat sour gummy worms an hour before bed again. They gave him such weird dreams. You'd think he'd learn the first time...
How's that ending?

For this chapter- I am neither a doctor or a nurse.

Oh, and I am using celsius because Doctor Who is british. But I'm not. So if I mess up and I don't write 'proper' english, I'm sorry.

The Ponds

"Rory? What's happening?" Amy asked Rory as the Doctor's eyes rolled back into his head. Rory poked two fingers into his neck.

"Pulse is steady... and he's breathing normally..." Rory said as he pulled out his handy torch and shone it into the Doctor's eyes.

"So why won't he wake up?" Amy asked.

"Help me move him to the couch." Rory instructed, leaving Amy's question hanging. With Rory held the Doctor by his shoulders and River held him by his feet, they hoisted him the to couch and gently placed him down. Amy grabbed one of the blankets and a pillow, placing the pillow behind the Doctor's head and draping the thin blanket over him.

"Now what?" Amy asked, clearly worried. Rory could see that she had tears rolling freely down her cheeks.

"We wait." Rory said with a sigh. "Come here." He took Amy's hand and led her to the downstairs bathroom, where the first aid kit was located.

The Doctor

The Doctor stumbled back when his feet hit the hard floor and fell roughly on his back side. "Wha-?"

"I'm not done with you." The little girl said as she walked calmly over to him. "You never answered me."

The Doctor moaned as he got to his feet. His chest, while it still hurt from earlier, had turned into less of sharp, sudden pains to something more slow, steady and dull throbbing.

"Well? What is the difference between you and me?" She asked again, and started pacing the small area restlessly.

"What happened to you?" The Doctor asked, sidestepping the question, watching her as she walked like a grumpy old man, a walk he was quite familiar with.

"What do you think happened?" She scoffed and sat down like a child would, her arms folded and her back to him. The Doctor could hear her muttering to herself, like she was talking to multiple people. After a long moment of silence, she turned back to the Doctor. "Oh, you're still here?" She asked with a sneer.

"Yes..." The Doctor answered slowly, unsure of what to do or how to respond.

"Have you figured it out yet?" She asked, getting up and pacing again.

The Doctor sighed. "Yes." He did know what she was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it.

"Say it." The girl said in a low tone. "Tell me why we are different from each other."

The Doctor looked away from her. There was no way that she could make him say it, because it couldn't possible be true. He didn't want it to be true...

The girl scoffed again. "Of course you of all people can't even tell the truth to yourself. Pathetic. Do you really want me to say it?"

The Ponds

After Rory had taken care of the girls, he checked on the Doctor while Amy was making some food. It was after he had changed the Doctor's bandages that he began to mutter incomprehensibly. Rory placed a hand gently on his forehead and discovered that he was clammy and colder than usual.

"River?" Rory called and River appeared out of the kitchen.

"What?" She asked.

"I don't really know anything about his biology." Rory said slowly. "Do you?"

River came over and couched by the Doctor. She gently placed her hand on his forehead, then on his cheek. "I know that his body temperature is around 15 or 16 degrees, but I'm not sure. He feels much cooler."

"What can we do?" Rory asked.

"I'm not really sure that there's much to do besides just let him heal." River said. "But there must be some books in the TARDIS library the could help out."

"Yeah." Rory said as he got up. "Wait, if the translator thing isn't working, how would we read them? Chances are they won't be in English."

"I'll translate them by hand." River said. Rory carefully covered the Doctor back up with the blanket before following her out to the TARDIS.

I am so, so sorry about the wait. Gah, life! Why can't you just leave me alone so I can have an affair with the internet?!
