The Bizarre Adventures of Doctor Who

Rainbow In the Dark Pt. 6

Holding his clipboard, Dimitri started with Lila first, asking her name, age, and jotted everything down as she answered his questions. He then proceeded to check her heartbeat, her blood pressure, weight, everything he can with the equipment he had on hand.

Once he finished, Dimitri noted that her heartbeat's high, but Lila told him that she's not good at going to the doctors. Makes her heart beating mad sitting on those tables in a quiet room waiting for the doctor to come inside the room.

Sighing, Dimitri wanted to wait until she's settled to try her heartbeat again, give her time for her nerves to calm themselves, get a better idea then, and while waiting for it, he wanted to start on Theodore.

Turning his head, Dimitri asked for Theodore to take off his stitched long coat and scarf.

Reluctantly, Theodore obeyed, taking off his stitched long coat and scarf, carefully hanging them up on the rack near the door, revealing Theodore's white dress shirt, neatly pressed as big brother demanded when he's working at the library.

He sat on the table adjacent towards Lila as he asked Lila via telepathy what she had in mind to keep the fact he had two hearts a secret. Lila replied that he goes through with what Dimitri says and she'll do the rest.

Frowning, Theodore watched as Dimitri proceeded to get a fresh clipboard and paper, asking him his name, age, so forth.

He didn't have much of a choice, so he told Dimitri his real name, as telling them that he's the Doctor wouldn't bode well, since they'd frantically think he's a real doctor.

Rather deal with the headache, Theodore leaned on the truth as much as possible, his father wouldn't approved of him doing this, since he himself knew the ramifications of telling certain people he's the Doctor.

As Dimitri checked his blood pressure, Theodore looked towards Lila who reached into her trouser pocket, getting out a psychic paper she carried with her, just for an occasion like this.

Once Dimitri wrote down Theodore's blood pressure, he reached for his stethoscope, readying to check Theodore's heartbeat.

Wincing, Theodore recoiled as Dimitri pressed the stethoscope against his chest, hearing his hearts beat.

There's confusion on Dimitri's face as he brought it away from Theodore's chest, he's about to say something when Lila spoke up.

"Hey, doc, what's this paper for?" Lila convincingly held up the psychic paper as Dimitri turned around to look at her.

On the psychic paper, it told Dimitri that the stethoscope's one of the bad batches collected, Dimitri needed to stop using it, and find another pair.

"What, that's impossible, it worked fine before!" Dimitri's shocked as Lila showed him the fake paper saying that the one, he's using doesn't work as intended.

Baffled, Dimitri checked her heartbeat one more time, he's miffed when he started hearing two heartbeats, and when he checked his own, he heard similar.

Shaking his head, Dimitri muttered under his breath before he pulled the stethoscope away from his chest, pulling off his ears, and tossed it in the bins.

He ended up asking medical questions which Theodore answered and when Dimitri finished, he sighed as he filed their papers in the cabinets, before letting them leave the office.

Collecting their things, the two hurried out of there, Lila complimenting Theodore's ability to trick Dimitri that they all had two hearts via a brief use of telepathy, enough he can mess with Dimitri without too much of a risk.
