The spring warmth in the air provided the jolt needed for nature waking up after the long winter. Flowers opening their buds, revealing extravagant petals that stretch outwardly, capturing the sunlight.

People mingling outside more as they no longer worry about the sudden frigid cold returning for a few months.

Spring festivals already planned for throughout the season, complete with food tasting, kiosks, stands, everything needed celebrating the return of spring.

There are already fervent plans going to the beaches, sunburns, and sand in places nobody wants, galore.

Normally, the changeover would've incited happiness, not needing to bundle up like he's an Eskimo, but unfortunately, there's no springtime for Theodore.

Work in the library became hectic with the transition in the season finally complete, new book releases, book signings, people of all walks checking out books that they had to start checking out books not assigned to their floor because his coworkers on the other floors couldn't handle the surge.

Book fairs started where the library sold old stock of books from the year before, making room for new stock for this year, that was a lot of fun.

Theodore played with some of the toys that were sold alongside the books. Hammond, of course, disapproved, but that's Hammond, for you.

Oh yes, puppet shows galore, too, Theodore using his wits to entertain the children, and so forth.

Give credit, Theodore's a natural at it, his father's teachings didn't go unused. Manipulating his vocals to do whatever needed, gave Lila a scare more than once, which she got him back after the day ended.

Hammond, of course, didn't see the humour when Theodore mimicked his voice for a part.

Oh yes, busy, busy, but that's only the library, adventures, so many adventures. If not for his healing factor, Theodore probably would've never gotten out of bed again with the way he twisted and turned every corner.

Poor Lila struggled, but she tries, and Theodore more than once offered her a break from adventuring with him until she's well rested, but the stubborn woman wouldn't hear of it, she's getting out of bed, she's getting chased by whatever's after them that day, end of story.

She insisted that she didn't leave Theodore alone in his adventures, but he knew she thinks she has a sense of obligation because of his uncle and Hammond.

Multiple times, Theodore told her that she didn't have to worry about them, he'll deal with them if they're upset with her inability to join him on adventures due to suffering from injuries or soreness.

Yet, Lila proved stubborn.

Oh, what will Theodore do with his companion?

Ah, yes, anyway, it's been busy, with seldom time to himself, and thankfully there's light at the end of the tunnel, once he completes the unexpected adventure that landed on his lap.

He'd receive a phone call from a southern woman, asking for help, but it didn't sound like she needed help dealing with an alien or anything of that nature.

Instead, it'd appear that this adventure's different than all the others, as weirdly as it sounded.

The woman claimed that she's immortal and she's not sure what to make of her predicament.

So, she sought the Doctor, thinking that he would be the one knowing what to do, and perhaps he did, but the claim that a seemingly normal woman's immortal, didn't make sense to him.
