Part 2

The trio entered the large hall which held all the guests that were announced earlier. The Doctor immediately went towards the keypad on the black marble slab. "That wasn't a gravity pocket. I know gravity pockets, and they don't feel like that"

Emma looked away from the buttons when she heard the sound of heels clicking coming closer. The Doctor turned to face the tree women they had met earlier. "What do you think Jabe?" So that was her name. Emma thought giving her smile though her mind went back to what Rose was telling her in their observation room. She decided to forget about the feeling of her stomach sinking for the moment and focus on the problem at hand.

"Listen to the engines, they're pitched up about 30 Herts. Is that dodgy or what?" The Doctor said, looking around the room with raised bows.

Jabe shook her head with a minuscule shrug "It's the sound of metal, that doesn't make any sense to me" He smirked at her answer before asking: "Where's the engine room?"

"I don't know" She replied "But the maintenance duct is just behind our guests' suite, I could show you." Jabe suggested before turning to the girls "and your wife and concubine"

Emma's eyes widened at the suggestion in her tone. She could feel a blush rise up her neck and settle over her face. She had no idea who was who but she felt embarrassed nonetheless.

"Oh she's not my wife...or my concubine" He defended quickly, the tips of his ears tinging red for just a second.

"Partners?"

"Nope"

"Mistresses?"

"Nope"

"Prostitiutes"

Emma's mouth opened slightly. Couldn't he just say that she and Rose were his friends instead of letting the tree assume that they were just sex toys of his. She loosened the grip on his hand before letting go completely taking a step closer to the silently fuming blonde. He didn't even seem to notice even when Rose met boiling point.

"Whatever we are it must be invisible! Do you mind? Tell you what, you two go pollinate. Me and Em are gonna catch up with the family. Quick word with Michael Jackson" She sassed before giving the Doctor a burning glare, grabbing her embarrassed friend and storming off.

"Don't start a fight" He called out after them before his attention returned to Jabe. "I'm all yours" He said offering her his arm and swanning off through the sliding doors.

The girls watched them leave but just before they were out of sight Rose wanted the last word. "And I want you home by midnight!"

Earth-death in 15 minutes

Rose huffed and looked around the room before settling her eyes on Emma. "Em he's just a right flirt okay? Don't worry"

Emma gave her a playful scoff and fake smile -that the blonde could see through completely- "Rose I'm not worrying. I've just met the man. I can't get upset over him, she's more his type anyway"

"How?" Rose asked rolling her eyes.

"Well she's more interesting you know. She's a tree. She knows more. Anyway you heard him before. All we are is apes to him yeah? Silly little apes that need saving all the time." She nodded to her friend eyeing up the cloaked figures. "As long as he doesn't think of me as a prostitute or any of what Jabe suggested it's fine" Emma joked pulling Rose further into the hall.
