Clara and the Doctor jumped out of the TARDIS onto the sandy land.
"Come onnnnn, Doctor! Why couldn't we have stayed on the planet with all the blue aliens with large eyes? I loved that place."
"Well… yes, because they thought you were one of them with those eyes."
"No they didn't."
The Doctor gave her a cheeky smile. Clara couldn't help herself but laugh.
"So, where are we?"
"Ramala, 4th planet closest to their star. The main village is…"
The Doctor squinted.
"There."
He pointed to a village, a few metres away.
"Why didn't she drop us there, anyway?"
"Doesn't do that normally… Probably something wrong."
The Doctor hesitated.
"What are we waiting for?" She was going to head towards the village, but the Doctor grabbed her sleeve just in time.
"You aren't going anywhere."
"Doctor…." She sulked.
"Clara, I will not risk your life just because you want adventures….."
Clara raised her eyebrows.
"Do you seriously think we were never in a situation worse than this?"
"I don't care." The Doctor replied.
"The Ice Warrior in the middle of the Cold War…"
"They didn't let us leave"
"Robin Hood"
"We were locked in a cell with that laughing maniac!"
"The school-caretaker incident…."
"I had done my research beforehand."
"The Mummy on the train…."
"We were captured!"
"Skaro…"
"I was tied up and held prisoner by Davros. What do you expect me to do?"
"Letting me go with you, that's what I expect…."
Clara shrugged her arm lose and went running, laughing happily.
