The Doctor took a sip of the coffee, savoring the sugary and creamy taste. He rarely had time to stop and enjoy anything like this as he was constantly on the move. The last time he had enjoyed coffee was with Donna. As soon as he thought of her, his hearts sank slightly. He missed her so much.

"May I have your coat? I might as well fix it for you."

Dani's voice pulled the Doctor out of his trance and he turned to face her. "Oh yes, I forgot about this," He said, looking down to the gaping tear. He placed his coffee down and began to slowly shrug his coat off his shoulders. Suddenly, he felt a small twinge of pain emit from his lower back as he managed to fully remove his coat, and he winced in discomfort as he handed his coat over to Dani.

"Geez, my backs been sore these past couple of weeks..." The Doctor groaned, as he placed a hand behind his back for support. "Must be getting old," He chuckled with a smile.

As they entered the luxurious room, the Doctor could see how tired Dani really was. He usually had a horrible habit of dragging people into situations which they really shouldn't be involved with, which made him feel guilty. She was only human after all.

Within two seconds of them entering the room, there was a firm knock on the door and the Doctor wandered over to answer it. It revealed a member of the hotel staff, holding two steaming coffees in a cardboard holder.

"Here's those coffees, Sir." The young man said to him, offering the Time Lord the drinks to which he gladly took.

"Thank you, my boy." The Doctor replied politely before quietly shutting the door and gliding over to where Dani was sitting. He grabbed one of the coffees and removed it from the cardboard holder and gently handed it to her. "There you go, one cup of coffee." He took his own hot drink out and set the holder into the bin provided, looking out of the window to observe the quiet London night.

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

The Doctor seemed extremely ridged and tense under Donna's touch. She could tell that his dreams were nightmares just by the look plastered onto his thin features.
"If you want to tell us about it, you know we'll listen," She said to him calmly, "That's what we're here for, right Jack?"

The Doctor chuckled lightly at Dani's fascination as they both boarded the elevator and headed up towards their room. "I'll tell you whatever you want to know over that cup of coffee." The Time Lord replied simply, watching the light of each level slip by until eventually, the lift let out a 'bing' and the doors opened. He stepped out and looked left and right, and instantly spotted their allocated room.

"After you," He motioned to Dani with a smile.

The Doctor followed Dani through the hotel doors, leading to a well furbished lobby area with only a few souls wandering around the area. He hugged his coat around his frame, remembering that it ripped and would look rather odd if someone saw it. Well, the least they would think is that he had a strange sense of fashion.

Looking over to Dani, the Time Lord could sense that she was weary and worn out, so he decided to make things easier for the young girl. Walking up to the lobby desk, greeted by another female youth, he rummaged through his coat pocket and pulled out his psychic paper.

"Hello, this may seem rather strange since its so late but I'm the Doctor and this is my plus one, Dani," The Doctor started, holding up the wallet so it was directly in front of the woman's face, "We're here as inspectors and I believe that means we are entitled to the best suite you have to offer. Oh and just between you and me, I usually give higher marks for hotels that bring me coffee, too." He added quietly, giving the youth a wink as he put his psychic paper back into his coat. The girl behind the desk stood up affermitaly and nodded at the Time Lord.

"Right away, Sir." She said, reaching behind her to collect a set of keys. She turned and handed them back to the Doctor. "Room 34, top floor. Do you have anything you need assistance with, Sir? You're bags, perhaps?"

"Oh no, no bags, just us." The Doctor replied with an official smile. "Just make sure those coffee's are in our rooms within 10 minutes, okay?"

"No problem, Sir, please enjoy your stay."

And with that, the Doctor turned back towards Dani, an accomplished look on his face. "Works every time, that does."

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

Donna quickly rushed over to Jack and sat down on the edge of the Doctors bed, reaching to stroke away the tangled pieces of hair that were sticking to the Time Lords forehead. "What were you dreaming about?"

The Doctor was rather taken aback when the young man countered his argument for him to leave, arguing that he didn't want to go and that he wished to stay with him. Even though it was unexpected, the Doctor admired the young mans spirit and courage which he liked to see in people. He might not have been the most confident of human beings, but the Time Lord could tell there was something more to Leander than his image. Something more confident and something more keen. Giving in, the Doctor let out a long sigh.

"Fine, but be warned, if we do end up meeting the Slitheen, they're ruthless and wont hesitate to kill you on the spot. Just let me do the talking, okay?" The Doctor told Leander before giving him a warm smile. "Allons-y! then!"

The Doctor listened intently to Leander's account of the man's death, and his face went slightly grim. "That's the Slitheen alright," He stated, looking towards the forest landscape with his brown eyes fixed upon the trees. "They must have crashed here then, which means that they must be up to something, which is never good when Slitheen are the ones who are involved."

The Time Lord sniffed the air lightly, and then looked back to Leander. "If they're murdering people, then that means that they've probably disguised themselves using human skin. Anyone who lives near-by could be a Slitheen right now. Well, when I say that I mean anyone who is relatively 'big' in size." He continued to explain. He thought about his options for a few seconds, knowing that he would have to investigate sooner rather that later. He would much rather that the young boy was kept at arms length, not wanting to put him in danger.

"Leander, I want you to go home and keep yourself safe. I need to go into that forest," The Doctor said as he pointed towards the set of trees just over a few fields. "If the Slitheen are in there, then at least I can hopefully find out what they've stayed on Earth for, and while I'm at it give them a good telling off for slaughtering as well. But they are ruthless, and could kill me if they really wanted to, but that won't happen as long as I have my sonic. Hopefully..." The Time Lord drifted, spinning his sonic in the air and catching it with a professional hand.

Thankfully, the sonic screwdriver picked up no other strange alien signals around them, so the Time Lord simply placed his tool back in his pocket and smiled up at Dani. No sooner had he smiled at her did the sound of a car engine approach, and the Doctor's eyes focused upon the vehicle that stopped at the end of the street. Dani took his hand, which he didn't object to and entered the car with her. His tall frame had trouble fitting into the car, and he had to duck his head and scrunch up his long legs in order to fit. Dani introduced her friend Sean, and the Doctor merely glanced towards him and smiled. "Nice to meet you."

The journey was relatively quiet, Dani and Sean sharing some topics of conversation but it wasn't very lively. But who could blame them, They were human, and it was early morning after all. Soon enough, the car screeched to a halt outside what must have been the hotel.

"Thank you, Sean." The Doctor said to the young boy as he not so delicately exited the car, stretching as he stood on the pavement outside the hotel doors. He waited for Dani and Sean to say their goodbyes.

Of course I'm fine (me and TenthDoctorFan)

As Donna entered the room, she could see that the Doctor wasn't in a stable condition and her face instantly began to spread with concern. "What should we do, Jack?" She asked as she approached the bed nervously, listening to the Doctor's uncomfortable whimpers. "Should we wake him up?"
