Martha bustled around the room pulling out medical equipment. A woman had been found on the edge of the school grounds in critical condition and Mr Smith had commanded her to go and fetch supplies in the absence of the matron. When she had gathered the necessary equipment she raced back to the room where Mr Smith had laid the girl.

"Ah Martha" he said as she entered "This young lady is in dire need of medical care and you are my best option at present".

"I'll do my best sir" she said smiling at him and rushing to the girl's side. It seemed ironic that his name was the doctor yet he couldn't help her, but he was trapped in a pocket watch so she let him have that one.

"I can't believe it" he said standing up and observing the girl "She came from the woods".

"Does anyone know her?" asked Martha cleaning a deep cut on the girls arm.

"No she appears to have come from nowhere and this" he gestured to a leather bag "was all that came with her".

"Did you look in it?"

"No" he said taken aback "I'd hardly think it proper to look through young ladies effects without expressed permission from said lady".

"Very proper sir" said Martha avoiding his eyes and rolling hers "The bag doesn't have a name on it does it sir?"

"No" he said still gazing at the girl.

"She's waking up sir".

The girl tried to sit up, her blonde hair falling back off her face "Urghhh" she moaned "Where am I?"

"Please don't try to get up Miss" said the Doctor placing a hand on her shoulder and guiding her back down "You have obtained injuries and we don't want you to hurt yourself further".

Martha noticed his softer tone when speaking to this girl "Do you remember your name?" she asked the girl.

"Rose" said the girl still looking very confused "Rose Tyler".

Martha stopped dead and starred at the girl. 'No it couldn't be, surely not!' She recalled the Doctor talking about a 'Rose'. 'Rose her name was, but I lost her…"

"Can I get you anything Miss Tyler?" asked the Doctor still gawping at her.

"No I am quite well thank you" said Rose dazedly "If I might have a bath and a change of clothes I would be very grateful though".

"Of course! Of course" said the Doctor bounding out of the room "I shall tell one of the maids to draw you a bath".

"What's your name?" asked Rose peering at Martha as she attended to yet another cut on her arm.

"Martha, Martha Jones" said Martha smiling up at her.

Rose observed that smile, there was a hint of something else in there could it be…jealousy?

"So where are you from Rose?" asked Martha curiously "If you don't mind me asking".

"London" said Rose after a long silence she added "How did I get here?"

"Mr Smith carried you up".

"Is Mr Smith that man from before?" asked Rose smiling slightly.

"Yeah" said Martha looking enviously at her beautiful smile "He's a great man".

"He seems very nice".

They were interrupted when Mr Smith returned "Miss Tyler your bath is ready for you now, if Martha has finished mending you" he said with one of his very attractive grins.

Martha felt her stomach rise when she saw that smile and she saw that the colour had risen in Rose's cheeks so that she was blushing bright red.

He crossed the room and paused before picking her up "Do I have permission?" he asked looking down into her face.

She smiled up at him "Of course, thank you".

He carried her down the hall being very careful of her injured leg, Martha gazed after them, even when he was human he couldn't resist this girl.

Mr Smith sat Rose down on a chair beside the bath and turned to leave "Just ask a maid if you need anything and I'll be back to take you to your room" he said smiling again. Outside Martha caught up with him.

"Sir would it really be proper to have her stay here? I mean neither of us will be here the whole time and the school is full of boys. Not that they aren't disciplined" she added quickly.

"I do see your point and I suppose we could bring her back to the house with us if you are prepared to help care for her".

"Of course I will" said Martha sincerely.

"Alright then" he said nodding and turning to go to his office "That settles it then".
