Title: How It Begins

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Martha Jones, mentions the Tenth Doctor.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 048: Beginning at dw100

Spoilers: Smith And Jones

Summary: Martha’s life is about to change dramatically.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.

A/N: Posting early today because I'll be at the hospital for tests at the time I usually post and I don't know when I'll be able to get back online.

For Martha, it begins in the most extraordinary way possible. The whole of the Royal Hope Hospital, with all its staff and patients, is ripped from the ground and deposited on the moon. It’s incredible, unbelievable, has to be some sort of mass hallucination because if it’s real, why aren’t they all dead from the vacuum of space?

They almost do die, because there’s not an unlimited supply of oxygen and over time the air gets bad. But a man calling himself the Doctor saves the day then invites her to travel with him.

Extraordinary? She hasn’t seen anything yet!

The End

Good point, there; I'm sure that incident seemed tame by comparison to everything else! :)

At the time it was the most unbelievable experience of her life, but that was before everything else, lol!

Thank you!

To think they were going to do the hanging off the edge of the building aka "Partners In Crime". Enough was going on as it was.

[bk_forever]

That would've been overkill!

Thank you!

They just ran down some stairs. It worked better this way. Donna getting angry at the Doctor while hanging on for dear life is priceless!

Freema admitted she was genuinely scared of the Judon when they were marching towards her.

Can't say I blame her, they were pretty damned imposing!

Freema: No acting required!

Bless her. She was also scared of being chased by those "Zovirax" figures.

Not so much with the Daleks when the guys who drive them kept bumping into each other saying "sorry" between takes.

I miss DWC:(

Daleks are like bumper cars, lol!

I think the Weeping Angels would have freaked me out the most, but I don't think Martha had any scenes with them.

It would have been interesting to have seen Martha and Ten with the Weeping Angels.

I never have liked statutes. Particularly big one's. As a little kid I was scared of them.

I'm the opposite, statues never bothered me until I watched 'Blink'! It's one of my favourite episodes, but it's really creepy!

Yeah, they were so much on the periphery of the episode.

I loved the series with Martha in. Still trying to figure out which hospital they used in that eposode. It does look familiar.

Great drabble.

Me too, Martha was a great companion.

According to information, it was filmed at Singleton Hospital and the University of Glamorgan.

Thank you.
