"I told you Rita" the Doctor beamed reading the results. "Completely fine no unnatural brain activity, completely healthy."

"How can I remember random things though?" She asked leaning against the console with her arms crossed against her chest. "Like I can remember having to drag you along when you were acting drunk on that spaceship, or that I used to absolutely hate the couple next door to my apartment" she shivered a little. "Months, I had no sleep for months and now I can go days without it!" She groaned.

"You're still getting used to it, your not like other Time Lords who have become human you remember being human Rita as if you're still yourself. You also said it yourself the Daleks must have done something to the watch"

"That's what I'm worried about" she ran a hand through her hair and started pacing back and forth in front of the Doctor. He raised a brow following the brunette with his eyes.

"If they messed with the watch with my essence inside then who knows what they could have done" she groaned heading towards the hall. The Doctor sighed following the brunette.

"Rita stop" he followed her and groaned as she ignored him. "Stop!" He grabbed her wrist forcing her to turn around and look at him.

"Yes?" She sighed sounding slightly annoyed by his persistence.

"Who am I?" He asked placing his hands on her shoulders. She blinked not understanding what he was talking about. "Who am I?" He repeated.

"The Doctor of course" she answered turning to head away. He forced her to stay where she was and she grumbled at him.

"Exactly which means I will keep doing these tests until you ask me to stop because you're my friend Rita, my best friend and as long as I keep doing these tests and you calm down and they show normal results you are fine."

The brunette breathed out a deep long sigh and nodded slowly looking at his eyes which showed worry at the current moment. "I'm just not used to it, well I am but I'm not if you understand what I mean." He nodded at her understanding that it scared her that the Daleks had been tampering with the watch while she was still inside, scared that they did something which could harm her or those around her, scared that they would hurt the Doctor, her best friend.

"Now then" he gently let go of her shoulders not realising himself that he had his hands tightly holding on to them, he let them drop to his sides. "I was doing some readings on the Earth yesterday and there was an odd signal coming from a hospital. Want to go take a look?" He grinned knowing that she wouldn't turn this down.

"Doctor you really do know how to cheer a friend up" she grinned following the Doctor back into the console room.

"Oh, I almost forgot" he chuckled. "The TARDIS made you a gift for saying thank you for flying her so well the other day"

"The TARDIS?" Rita blinked not expecting that. The Doctor hummed a 'yes' response and dived into his pocket then beamed when he found what he was looking for.

"Oh, well I say" Rita beamed as he placed the object in her hands. "She made me a sonic" the Time Lady admired it. "Hmm very nice" she looked at it closely. There was a dark almost black metal, unlike the Doctors which was a more silver. The handle itself had a golden tint to it which actually looked quite shiny to Rita's amusement. There was also a clear white emitter at the tip where on the Doctors sonic it is blue.

"Thank you" she patted the console then turned to the Doctor. "Thank you Doctor" she also gave him a hug.

"What for?" He asked her yet still accepting her embrace.

"For suggesting it and being a brilliant friend."

"Your welcome" he laughed. "Now we're going to around 2007 to 2008 the signal was a little weak in telling the year." He shrugged.

"That's good because while you figure out which year, I can go change" she laughed walking down the hall and heading into her room to change.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Finally finished and happy with her clothing choices of another pair of maroon vans with black comfy jeans and a plain white top she headed to the console room she left her hair alone knowing it wasn't something she honestly enjoyed, putting her hair up. She grabbed the black jacket on the way out and placed it on her sonic going inside the left pocket which thankfully was bigger on the inside otherwise her sonic would always be poking out of her pocket.

"You took twenty minutes to change into that?" The Doctor raised a brow.

"What something wrong?" She raised a brow mimicking him.

"No everything is fine" he nodded. "Still could have hurried up" he then muttered quietly. She glared at him from the other side of the console moving her head to the side of the rotor to see him.

"I heard that" his eyes widened seeing the look on her face and then ran round the TARDIS pulling levers and pressing buttons.

"Did you not get us there already?" Rita groaned at him.

"No I was busy scanning the area" he rolled his eyes as the TARDIS finished wheezing signalling that they were there.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"You know when you said do I want to take a look at them signals I didn't imagine that you would end up pretending to be sick and lay around in a hospital bed. I thought you hated hospitals?" Rita quietly groaned knowing that there was only a curtain between them and the rest of the ward. She slumped back into sitting in the chair and glared at the Doctor who just held a smug look on his face.

"One more day Rita." He shook his head. "One more day and then we can go"

"Good" she shook her head at him. They then both looked up and the hospital curtain was pulled around the sides showing a group of hospital staff.

"Now then, Mister Smith, Mrs Smith. a very good morning to you both" Rita glared at the Doctor yet again for his 'brilliant idea' to be fair it was quite clever, the hospital made visitor times allocated. Luckily that didn't include if you were a close family. "How are you both today?"

"I'm good thank you, then again I'm not the patient Mister Stoker." She chuckled shaking her head and setting down the book she held in her hand.

"Yes that is very true" he nodded attempting to be polite. "Mister Smith?"

"Oh, not so bad. Still a bit, you know, blah." He stuck out his tongue like a child, Rita rolled her eyes at his behaviour.

"John Smith, admitted yesterday with severe abdominal pains." The man turned towards what looked like Doctors in training. "Miss Jones, why don't you see what you can find? Amaze me." He stepped out of the way for the young woman with dark toned skin and black hair.

"That wasn't very clever, running around outside, was it?" She looked at the Doctor stepping forward.

"Sorry?" Both Time Lords replied confused.

"On Chancellor Street this morning? You came up to me and took your tie off."

"Really? What did I do that for?" The Doctor asked.

"Does sound like something you would do" Rita hummed.

"I don't know, you just did." Miss Jones replied.

"But he definitely was here all morning with me, wouldn't let me leave at all, he was complaining that he had nothing to do,any more" Rita told Miss Jones.

"Well, that's weird, cause it looked like you." She turned to the Doctor. "Have you got a brother?" She asked him.

"Oh, not anymore." He shook his head. "Just me."

Mister Stoker sighed out of impatience. "As time passes and I grow ever more infirm and weary, Miss Jones."

"Sorry. Right." She nodded and took a stethoscope from her neck and listened for the man's heart. Or hearts in the Doctors case. She frowned looking at the Doctor who winked at Miss Jones. Rita bit her lip trying to hold in the smug grin she was desperately trying to hide.

Mister Stoker sighed. "I weep for future generations. Are you having trouble locating the heart, Miss Jones?" He asked.

The Doctor and Rita both looked at her and she stuttered. "Er, I don't know. Stomach cramps?"

Mister Stoker then groaned. "That is a symptom, not a diagnosis. And you rather failed basic techniques by not consulting first with the patient's chart." Mister Stoker then went to pick up the clipboard and dropped it jumping back in shock. The two Time Lords looked at each other raising a brow.

"That happened to me this morning." Miss Jones told Mister Stoker.

"I had the same thing on the door handle." A man standing beside the other 'Doctors in training' added.

"And me, on the lift." Another stated.

"That's only to be expected." Mister Stoker smiled picking the clipboard back up. "There's a thunderstorm moving in and lightning is a form of static electricity, as was first proven by. Anyone?" He looked at the young people around him.

The Time Lords both grinned and answered in unison: "Benjamin Franklin."

"Correct." He turned to them both.

"My mate, Ben." The Doctor chuckled. "That was a day and a half. I got rope burns off that kite, and then I got soaked.." he rambled on.

"Quite."

"Didn't you tell me you got electrocuted as well?" Rita looked at him and he nodded.

"Yeah, I did."

Mister Stoker looked at them both a little concerned, Rita and the Doctor grinned seeing Miss Jones, amused reaction behind Mister Stoker. "Moving on." He turned around towards the young people. "I think perhaps a visit from psychiatric for them both" he muttered. Martha looked at the pair grinning matching their expressions and then followed the group.

"And now they think we're crazy" Rita muttered.

"Aren't we though?" The Doctor looked at her.

"Fair point" she tilted her head. "That shock Mister Stoker got with the clipboard. It wasn't because of a storm you don't think?" She asked and he shook his head.

"Can't be, it happened to a load of them. What do you do when you can't explain something?" He asked her.

"You try to ignore it, or you think of something to explain what it is even when you know it isn't that"

"Exactly" he grinned at her. "Now I don't know about you but I have had enough of laying about"

"I've had enough of running after you for the past day because the bloody nurses won't let you leave this ward"

"Always lovely to have you around Rita"

"When isn't it?" she grinned smugly as the Doctor got up out of the bed shaking his head at her and then sneaked off with the brunette to investigate.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"We should head back" Rita suggested walking through the corridor with the Doctor. "Something doesn't feel right" he looked at her raising a brow for the Time Lady to explain.

"I saw it started raining outside one of the windows. Pouring down all of a sudden, way too sudden"

"Oh, you did?" He raised a brow.

"Yeah we should head back anyways those nurses are probably freaking out even more than they should" he chuckled slightly understanding what she meant.

"You do have a point, anyone who says they have met Benjamin Franklin is going to have people think they lost it" They walk past the staff room in silence hearing Miss Jones mention about the rain to someone over the phone on their way back to the ward.

"She's clever" Rita pointed out after they had walked far enough away from the room that no one would hear her.

"Don't you get any ideas" he pointed at her as they continued to walk through the hospital corridor.

"I only said she was clever" the Time Lady protested holding her hands up.

"Yeah but I know what you are thinking by that" he groaned.

----------------------------------------------------------------

After heading back to the ward the whole building began to shake. The Doctor and Rita fell to the ground at the sudden violent shaking. He grabbed hold of her arm. The Doctor grabbed hold on the hospital bed with his other arm.f

After a minute or so the shaking of the building stopped. The Time Lords looked up. There were people laying on the ground and items on the floor broken into pieces.

"I said something was wrong" she muttered.

"Right stay here, oh and where did you put my suit?" the Doctor asked.

"What can't go saving the world in jim jams again?" She joked. The Doctor rolled his eyes. "Seeing the brown suit every day got a little boring so I picked up a blue one for you, it's in the bag under the bed. He nodded and pulled the curtain around. Rita rolled her eyes then noticed Miss Jones walk in and started to try to calm the panicking people to relax

"All right now, everyone back to bed, we've got an emergency but we'll sort it out. Don't worry." Rita crossed her arms and watched the woman carefully as she helped a fee people up then walked over standing near a window with another one of the Doctors in training from earlier who looked very panicked. "It's real. It's really real."

"Of course it is" Rita walked over to the two staring out the window. "Mrs Smith is Mr Smith okay?" She asked.

"Oh he's fine" she waved an arm.

"Wait, hold on." Miss Jones then reached up to open the window.

"Don't we'll lose all the air!" Her friend reached to grab her arm away from the window.

"What do you think Miss Jones?" Rita raised a brow crossing her arms across her chest.

"They're not exactly air tight." She said making Rita nod. "If the air was going to get sucked out it would have happened straight away, but it didn't. So how come?" She asked the other woman and Rita gave a small smile.

"Very good point. Brilliant, in fact. What was your name?" The Doctor stepped out of the curtain with his new blue suit on swiftly shutting the curtain.

"Martha." She replied.

"I did tell you she was clever" Rita smugly grinned knowing too well that she was right. "Also blue suits you" She looked up and down eyeing the blue suit.

"I best keep it then if I suit this suit" He grinned at her. "Also I suppose you are right there." He mimicked her tone from before, then looked over at Martha. "And it was Jones, wasn't it?" She nodded. "Well then, Martha Jones, the question is, how are we still breathing?"

"We can't be." Marthas friend butted in.

"Obviously we are, so don't waste my time. Ow!" He cried out and turned to the left in the direction of the pain in his arm. Rita stood there giving him a scolding look.

"Rude" she pointed at him.

"And not ginger" he grinned finishing off what she usually said to him.

"Exactly" she switched her scolding look for a grin which he happily returned.

"Martha, what have we got? Is there a balcony on this floor, or a veranda, or-"

"By the patients' lounge, yeah." She cut the Time Lord off.

"Fancy going out?" He asked her raising a brow.

"Okay." She nodded.

"We might die." He told her already knowing that they wouldn't otherwise he would not have asked her.

"We might not." She countered.

"Good. Come on." He then stopped pointing at Martha's friend. "Not her, she'd hold us up." Rita swatted the back of his head with her hand and he winced in pain.

"Rude and not ginger" she muttered. Shaking her head and walked away as Martha lead the way.

----------------------------------------------------------------

They stood by the door and Martha looked at the Time Lords for a moment gulping.

"You can still say no, go back and help all of those people" Rita told her wanting to see if she would back down.

"No way" Martha shook her head at the brunette who smiled at her.

"Well then." She nodded and opened the glass door stepping onto the balcony and taking a breath as the Doctor and Martha did the same.

"We've got air. How does that work?" Rita chuckled a little and the Doctor did the same.

"Just be glad it does."

Martha looked over at the Earth in the distance. "I've got a party tonight. It's my brother's twenty-first. My mother's going to be really, really-" her voice cracked and the Doctor interrupted walking over to her.

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

"Are you sure? Being on the moon is something you can be 'not okay' about" Rita stood beside the woman placing a hand on her shoulder in comfort.

"Yeah."

"Want to go back in?" He gestured to the door.

"We can if you want,happen" Rita told her.

Martha shook her head at them both. "No way. I mean, we could die any minute, but all the same, it's beautiful."

"Do you think?" He asked her.

"How many people want to go to the moon? And here we are." Martha said in awe leaning against the railing.

"Standing in the Earthlight." The Doctor smiled.

"Nothing is more beautiful than this, that is in my book anyways" Rita grinned.

"What do you two think happened?" Martha asked.

"Without knowing anything I have no idea what to think did it, could have been anything"

"What do you think?" The Doctor asked Martha.

"Extraterrestrial." Rita silently groaned at the word. "It's got to be. I don't know, a few years ago that would have sounded mad, but these days? That spaceship flying into Big Ben, Christmas, those Cybermen things. I had a cousin. Adeola. She worked at Canary Wharf. She never came home." The Doctor and Rita both looked at each other remembering the name and how she died.

"I'm sorry." The Doctor sympathetically said to her.

"Yeah." She sadly nodded.

"We were there, in the battle." The Doctor looked down remembering. Rita reached over and took his hand sadly smiling to let him knowing that she felt the same as he did, still hurt over the loss of one of their best friends.

"I promise you, Mister Smith, Mrs Smith. we will find a way out. If we can travel to the moon, then we can travel back. There's got to be a way. "

"It's not Smith. That's not my real name."

"And we're not married either" the Time Lady laughed.

"Who are you, then?" Martha looked at the Doctor then at Rita. "Miss Smith?" Rita shook her head.

"I'm the Doctor." The Time Lord answered.

"Me too, if I can pass my exams." She sighed. "And you?" She looked over at Rita.

"I'm the Stone, not as good as a name like the Doctor but it's nice."

"The Stone?" She looked at Rita confused who just nodded at her. Martha then turned to the Doctor. "What is it then, Doctor Smith?"

"Just the Doctor." He replied shaking his head a little.

"How do you mean, just the Doctor?"

"Just the Doctor." He repeated.

"What, people call you the Doctor?" Martha looked at him not believing a word.

"I do" Rita spoke up.

"Yeah. The Stone and many other people do"

"Well, I'm not. As far as I'm concerned, you've got to earn that title. As for you. Your Miss Stone to me."

"Wouldn't be the first time I have been called that." Rita chuckled.

"Well, I'd better make a start." The Doctor said he then picked up a small stone from the balcony. "Let's have a look." He threw the rock away from the hospital. "There must be some sort of Forcefield keeping the air in." The rock then hit what the Doctor had guessed: a force field and then fell to the ground.

"But if that's like a bubble sealing us in, that means this is the only air we've got. What happens when it runs out?"

"Martha, how many people are normally in this hospital?" The brunette asked.

"I don't know. A thousand?"

"One thousand people Suffocating." The Doctor muttered.

"Why would anyone do that?" Martha asked just as three loud columnar spaceships passed above the hospital.

"Head's up!" The Doctor crouched slightly. "Ask them yourself." The ships then landed a little from the hospital and marching in rows beings with what looked like black helmets marched towards the hospital.

"Aliens. That's aliens. Real, proper aliens." Martha gasped.

"Oh, I should have known" Rita groaned a little.

"Judoon." The Doctor identified.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, look down there, you've got a little shop. I like a little shop." The Doctor looked through the glass on the floor above the entrance looking down at it with the Judoon going around cataloguing all of the humans trying to find anything non-human as people panicked in fear.

"Really Doctor?" Rita groaned a little. "We're on the moon with limited supply of oxygen with Judoon and all you can think about is a hospitals shop"

"Never mind that. What are Judoon?" Martha asked.

"They're like police. Well, police for hire."

"Not very much like police, to be honest, they're more like interplanetary thugs," Rita added.

"And they brought us to the moon?" Martha asked remembering what the brunette had said earlier.

"Neutral territory. According to galactic law, they've got no jurisdiction over the Earth, and they isolated it. That rain, lightning? That was them, using an H2O scoop." The Doctor explained.

"And they thought using the moon and leaving us with limited oxygen was a good idea. They're so thick"

"What are you on about, galactic law? Where'd you get that from?" Martha asked. "If they're police, are we under arrest? Are we trespassing on the moon or something?"

"No, but that is a good guess," The Doctor replied to Martha as Rita interrupted him. "I like the idea. Honestly, I wish it was so simple but with this lot it never it. Since they're making a catalogue it means their looking for something non-human." Her voice trailed off and her eyes shifted to the Doctor.

"And that Martha is very bad news for me and the Stone."

"Why?" She looked at them both slowly raising a brow at the woman. "Oh, you're kidding me." Rita and the Doctor continued to stare at her. "Don't be ridiculous." She told them. "Stop looking at me like that."

"Come on then." The Doctor took Rita's hand and they moved away from the glass moving to the corridor.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"They've reached the third floor." Martha came running in causing Rita to jump a little thinking she was a Judoon. "What's that thing?" She then nodded at the sonic screwdriver in the Doctors hand.

"His sonic screwdriver" Rita groaned. "Wouldn't even let me use my sonic" she then muttered.

"You can use yours next time" He playfully pointed at Rita enjoying that she was upset about not getting to use her sonic as if it was a toy.

"Well, if you're not going to answer me properly." Martha looked at Rita.

"No, really, it is. It's a screwdriver, and it's sonic." The Doctor showed her. "Look."

"What else have you got, a laser spanner?" Martha joked.

"Apparently he did. Apparently, it was also stolen."

"It was!" The Doctor protested. "Stolen by Emily Pankhurst, cheeky woman." He groaned at the computer he was scanning with the sonic screwdriver "Oh, this computer!" He hit it grumbling.

"Knowing the Judoon and how thick they are." the Time Lady looked at Martha. "They are very, very thick. They must have locked it down."

"Judoon platoon upon the moon." The Doctor muttered. "Because we were just travelling past. I swear, we were just wandering. we weren't looking for trouble, honestly, we weren't, but I noticed these plasma coils around the hospital, and that lightning, that's a plasma coil."

"Been building up for two days now, so I checked in and brought the Stone along. "We thought something was going on inside. It turns out the plasma coils were the Judoon up above."

"I should have noticed it and put the dots together but I didn't, guess the only one thick here is me" She sighed.

"You're not thick" The Doctor stopped looking at her seriously. "Rita you are one of the cleverest people I know, and that's saying something" He finished telepathically.

"Same for you Doctor" She smiled then looked at Martha when she questioned them. "But what were they looking for?"

"Something that looks human, but isn't." The Doctor answered.

"Like you two, apparently."

"Like us. But not us."

"Haven't they got a photo?"

"Photos don't help when it could be a shape-changer." Rita groaned. "If only it were that simple."

"Whatever it is, can't you just leave the Judoon to find it?" Martha asked and Rita shook her head at the woman.

"The Judoon are thick. If they declare the hospital guilty of harbouring a fugitive they'll sentence it to execution and we'll all go down with it."

"All of us?" She squeaked.

"Oh yes. If we can find this thing first. Oh!" He ran a hand through his hair jumping up and hitting the computer. "You see, they're thick! Judoon are thick! They are completely thick! They wiped the records. Oh, that's clever."

"I thought you said they were thick, not clever," Rita asked the Doctor smugly grinning. He narrowed his eyes at her to stop messing around and help him.

"What are we looking for?" Martha asked them.

"I don't know." The Doctor shrugged. "Say, any patient admitted in the past week with unusual symptoms."

"Doctor, maybe there's a back-up," Rita muttered to him and he nodded agreeing and began to scan the computer again.

"Just keep working. I'll go ask Mister Stoker. He might know." Martha told them and she then left.

"If we don't find this" Rita muttered.

"Have you ever doubted me?" The Doctor looked at Rita stopping what he was doing and then looked st her seriously.

"A couple times but not for a good eight months" she chuckled. "I'm just saying though, if I die-"

"Don't say that" he said a little coldly.

"But if I did I would never remember. Doctor most of my memories from the parallel world are gone. Nothing has been triggered today. Not even something small."

"Since when have you needed your foreknowledge?"

"When you practically asked me every minute for anything to help" she chuckled watching the Doctor continue to scan the computer once again.

"Rita, you don't seriously think that I rely on your foreknowledge do you?"

"Of course not" she laughed. "But I have been pretty useless without it."

"Your joking" he started to laugh at her and she just stared at him blankly. "Oh,The brunettes eyes" he gulped. "You are being serious" the Doctor slowly shook his head. "Rita this isn't just me saying as a friend but you are very, very useful stop thinking that you're not because you are useful" he shook his head once again.

"You honestly think that?" Rita asked.

"Rita I know that" he turned and noticed her grinning widely. "What?" He asked and she nodded. "What is it?" He asked again. The Time Lady nodded once more. "Rita just tell me" he groaned and then noticed her eyes flicker to the computer screen. He turned to face the screen and his eyes widened seeing the screen. "Ah ha!" He laughed happily.

"My first priority is to get back on Earth, Doctor" she reminded.

"Good point" he nodded in agreement.
