[IC] Live to fight another day(me and AreYouMyMummy)

[Magic223]

The Doctor was feeling miserable. He sneezed again "Yup." he grinned. He gets up slowly. He was so ill. But he never wanted to let that stop him. He warpped a scarf around his neck and he put his jacket on.
"Allons-y." he rasped. He headed for the door, He opened up the doors.
He still had a headache, he wanted fresh air. He didn't take any medicine, but knew he probably should have.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose frowned a bit as the Doctor opened the doors, wheezing and sounding dreadful. She tried to help him out the TARDIS door, giving him something to lean on. That's what he always needed really. Someone to lean on when times got tough. Which was everyday, she supposed, with the Doctor. She wondered if there was any medication he could take for his coughing. But what kind of medicine do you give a Time Lord? Surely not Tylenol.

[Magic223]

The Doctor did always keep his medicines in the medbay. He was sure that he would need to rest after exploring. He was sure Rose would get him to try some soup. He looked around the area, he coughed again as the cold air hit.
"Ugh," he grumbled, He hated having any illness. He knew it was going to make him grumpy again.
He leaned slightly on her, he was sure that as long as he had here things would be fine. He smiled weakly "So glad I have you."

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose smiled, relieved slightly. "What would you do without me?" She teased, then gave a shaky laugh. She looked out at the planet they had just walked out into, and found that they were in the attic of a house, on Earth so it seemed. "How strange," She muttered.

[Magic223]

The Doctor was shaking. He knew that he would need to try keep himself upright. He grinned at her though. "I'd be very alone and miserable, well if the illness hadn't killed me, my hearts were slowing when you took me to hospital. I know much as I didn't want to... I needed to."
He was looking around. He hoped there was something going on.
The time lord was very tired though, he just had to focus on travelling. "I hope the TARDIS is wrong about here being safe."

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose shook her head in disbelief. "I don't get how you can say that," She looked up at him, examining his face. He was pale. Very pale. "You're delirious." She mumbled. She sat him down on a nearby dusty couch. "Please, please sit here while I go see if I can find out where we are." She implored.

[Magic223]

"I'm not delrious." The Doctor stated grumpily. But he did as he was told and sat there, His head was aching. He held his head, He closed his eyes. He knew he couldn't help wanting something to happen.
He was sure Rose would try keep him from getting hurt.
He looked at the TARDIS and sighed a bit. He shivered too.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Sure that the Doctor would stay where he was, Rose made her way down the attic stairs. The stairway was full of pictures on the walls gathering dust, giving Rose the feeling that no-one's been living here for a while. Rose gasped when she stepped on something made of glass, breaking it. It was a picture frame, or what was left of it now. Sidestepping the now-broken glass, Rose walked down the last few steps, into the living room. It looked normal, except for the abnormal darkness, like everything had an extra shadow. Rose felt an itch on her arm. Something was definitely not right here. She deliberately made her way back up the stairs,but it looked to her like the shadows were... moving. She walked over to the couch. "Doctor," She intoned. "I think we should get out of here."

[Magic223]

The Doctor noticed a extra shadow in the attic "vashta nerada,,,:" He coughed. He didn't want to miss out on that, "Stay in the light and count the shadows." His eyes were alert . He was too sick to deal with them really. "Rose get in the TARDIS."
He was shivering, he slowly moved towards his ship being careful to stay in the light.
Being curious he wanted to go investisgate, but he didn't want to loose Rose.

[AreYouMyMummy]

"Oh for the love of- get in the bleedin' TARDIS, you idiot!" Rose nearly shouted, starting to cry. "You are not dying today!" She grabbed his hand. "Come on! Please!"

[Magic223]

The Doctor sighed and went into the TARDIS, He had wanted to find out what was going on. He wanted to know why they were there. He looked around, The Doctor seemed to be thinking but went into the TARDIS.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose followed the Doctor into the TARDIS, relieved that he had listened to her. Visibly shaking, she went to sit down in one of the chairs.

[Magic223]

The Doctor walked over to Rose "Hey its ok." he hugged her. He was very ill. He coughed a bit turning away. He gets the TARDIS out of that attic. He wanted to know more about what was going on though.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose smiled a bit, but winced when the Doctor coughed. She hated seeing him suffer. How could she help, though? What was wrong with him? She looked up to watch the Doctor fly the TARDIS away from the attic, somewhere safer she hoped. She sat for a moment, brooding.

[Magic223]

The Doctor landed the TARDIS in CARDIFF, He knew the rift was thier. He knew stuff happened thier but it was probably safer than an alien planet. He still wanted to go looking for trouble. He coughed badly.
The time lord lay back in his chair.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Rose clasped the Doctor's hand in hers, again stroking his head. "Please be alright," she whispered to herself.

An hour had passed before Rose realized there was someone at the TARDIS door. [i]Knock, knock.[i] "Oi, open up, would you?" She heard the sound of her mother at the door. But what was she doing here? Rose looked to her side at the Doctor, who seemed to be sleeping, and carefully laid him down across the two chairs. Rose ran over to the TARDIS doors and opened them. "I've been waiting for you, I have," her mother said. "Two weeks. Two whole weeks! Now, what have you been up to now?"

[Magic223]

The Doctor opened his eyes hearing Jackie. He seemed confused and wondered what Jackie was doing in Cardiff. He coughed badly. The time lord was not really in the mood to aruge with Jackie.
He looked at her. He waited to see if Rose would explain.
He was just too drained.

[AreYouMyMummy]

"Mum, what are you doing here?" Rose asked her mother. "I was on holiday." Jackie explained, not quite satisfactorily. "Now what's up with him?" Jackie asked, gesturing to the Doctor. "He looks terrible, he does."
"He's sick, Mum." Rose said, wearily. "Don't know what with." She rubbed her temples tiredly.
"Sick?" Jackie replied. "It's not contagious, is it now?"

[Magic223]

"I;m sorry... I was too sick to take her home to you... I was in hospital for weeks," He closed his eyes. "Alien illness. Not contanious to humans." He whispered. The Doctor was sweating a bit. He groaned a bit.
The time lord shivered and coughed covering his mouth still.
The Doctor curled up on his seat a bit.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Jackie looked wide-eyed at the sight. "Oi, I don't blame him. Bloke looks terrible. Well I have to get going, the bus leaves in five minutes." She gave Rose a pat on the cheek, then left. Rose rubbed her head. "Sorry about that." She walked back to the chair. "But that's my mum." She gazed at the Doctor, who had since fallen silent. He truly did look terrible. Her heart ached to see him like this.
