The Doctor, parted ways with Martha, dropping her off at her house. I waited inside the TARDIS

"How ?" The Doctor started, I shrugged in reply.

"Yeah....but can I say something about your Time and Relative Dimension In Space or TARDIS ?" I asked.

"Yeah go ahead I've heard it all" He said, throwing his coat over the railing by the front doors.

"This is one...sexy machine" I reply, the door opening his eyes wide with shock.

Martha enters the TARDIS and the Doctor and I peer around the central column.

"Right then!" He says, cheerily "Off we go!  The open road! There is a burst of starfire right now over the coast of Meta Sigmafolio-Oh, the sky is like oil on water-fancy a look ? Or...back in time-we could...I don't know,Charles II ? Henry VIII ? I know! What about Agatha Christie ? I'd love to meet Agatha Christie! I bet she's brilliant!" He said, I stand at the side looking over at Martha, her expression vacant, The Doctor notices too "Okay" He says as I stand by watching.

"I just can't" She says slowly.

"Yeah" He says, his posture changes.

"Spent all these years training to be a doctor-now I've got people to look after-they saw half the planet slaughtered and they're devastated...I can't leave them..." Martha said, looking behind her shoulder.

"Of course not. Thank you," He says hugging her "Martha Jones, you saved the world" He said slowly, a sad smile on his face.

"Yes, I did...I spent a lot of time with you thinking I was second best.  But you know what ? I am good...You gonna be all right ?" She asks looking over at me, I smile at her.

"Always..." He said looking back at me "Yeah"

"Right, then" She says, kissing him on the cheek, she walks out as the door closed behind her. Then she instantly walks back in.

"'Cause the thing is, it's like my friend Vicky, she lived with this bloke, student housing, there were five of them, all packed in, and this bloke was called Sean...and she loved him, she did...She completely adored him...Spent all day long talking about him" She trailed off, meaning everything that she said.

"Is this going anywhere ?" He asks, his arms crossed.

"Yes!" She says ecstatically "'Cause he never looked at her twice...I mean, he liked her, but that was it...and she wasted years pining after him, years of her life, cause while he was around, she never looked at anyone else...and I told her, I always said to her, time and time again, I said," She paused "Get out...so this is me, getting out" She says, reaching into her pocket and tosses him a phone.

"Keep that...Cause I'm not having you disappear-If that rings, when that rings, you better come running...Got it ?" She says with slight a sass, her stature confident.

"Got it" He says reassuringly, putting it in his trouser pocket.

"I'll see you again, mister" She says smiling and leaves the TARDIS, finally.

"Great things will come from her" I said walking over to the control panel where he stood.

"I know" He said, placing on his glasses.

"Now what do we do ?" I ask, he looked over at me from his shoulder.

"Now my dear...we talk" He said, starting he started up the TARDIS and soon stopped it.

"Talk ?" I questioned, as he shot up right almost knocking me over.

"Yes talk and you're going to tell me everything and I will in turn tell you" He said, giving me a small nod towards the door.
