This is an idea I had when I was at school and started writing it. Don't get me wrong, I really like Peter Capaldi's work as the 12th Doctor and I'm not happy that the next season will be in early 2017. This may or may not be one-shot but I'll see if I decide to make it into a multi-chapter.

Hope you like it and please check out my other Fanfics, including, The Jedi through Time and Space, a Doctor Who and Star Wars crossover.

I don't own anything, only OC's and made up locations.

Enjoy!

A Familiar Face

Clara walked into the Console Room of the TARDIS, she last saw The Doctor go into the TARDIS after regaining another Regeneration Cycle and defeating the Daleks. The room of was empty and she looked at the console to see one of The Doctor's bowls of Fish Finger's and Custard on the console.

She didn't bother to think of how long that was there but she soon noticed his clothes were on the ground. She internally shuttered at the thought of him being naked again, her looksee wasn't that bad the first time but it just shocked her and made her blush to see him like that without a care in the world.

But he was old and wrinkly now and she didn't want that image in her head. She started walking down a flight of steps when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and gasped a little at seeing The Doctor.

He was back to his old, joyful and youthful self and it made her smile.

She sighed in relief and had big smile plastered on her face, "Doctor."

"Hello." He said with a small, tired smile.

"You're young again. Your ok. You didn't even change your face." She said in a relieved tone.

The Doctor let out a chuckle and said," It started. I can't stop it now, this is just a reset. A whole new Regeneration Cycle. Oh!"

The Doctor picked up the bowl of food and proceeded to eat it and placed it back on the console.

"Taking a bit longer. Just breaking it in."

The Doctor worked the console and proceeded to put it in flight but groaned in pain. He knew he had a limited time left, but he just needed to hold it for just a few more minutes.

"It all just disappears, does it? Everything just are, gone in a moment, like breaking in a mirror. Any moment now, he's a-coming."

"Who's coming?" Clara asked.

"The Doctor."

Clara knew this was going but she didn't want The Doctor change," But, you, you are The Doctor.

"Yep, and I always will be." He said.

He soon felt some sort of energy forming and knew it was coming. He looked at his hands sadly as they began to glow with Regeneration Energy.

"But time change, and so must I."

The Doctor soon heard giggling and caught a glimpse of child wearing winter clothing run past him and up the stairs.

"Amelia." The Doctor said with a shocked expression.

Clara looked around confused but found no one. She then looked at The Doctor, who looked like he saw a ghost.

"Who's Amelia?"

A small fond smile formed on The Doctor's face and said," The first face, this face saw."

The Doctor looked at his hands, had a look of realization and said," We all change. When you think about it, we are all different people. All through our lives. But that's ok, that's good, you gotta keep on moving. So long as you, remember, all the people, you used to be. I will not forget, one line of this. Not one day, I swear, I will always remember, when The Doctor was me."

Clara felt like crying, she didn't want to lose The Doctor, even though he would be fine, just another person. But she knew she must accept it and The Doctor already had.

The Doctor heard footsteps coming down the stairs and looked, with a shocked expression to see Amy walk down the stairs.

He knew he was hallucinating; Amelia was in 1930's New York with Rory. But deep down he just wanted to see her again, she was and always will be a great friend, another being in the family he has loved and cherished over the centuries. He will never forget her.

'Amy' came down the steps and stopped right in front of The Doctor and she smiled. He did too, even in his imagination she was still the loving and caring woman he had the pleasure to travel with.

'Amy' placed her hand on The Doctor's cheek, he did the same. She smiled and said.

"Raggedy Man… goodnight."

The Doctor blinked and she was gone. He noticed the Regeneration Energy on his hands were starting to intensify.

It was time.

He took off his bowtie and let it fall to the floor.

"I hope the next one will have a liking to Bowties, and be ginger." He mused to himself.

"No, no, no, no. Please don't change." Clara said on the verge of tears and held out her hand.

The smiled at his Impossible Girl one last time and was about to hold her hand in comfort but then… BOOM!

He was covered with Regeneration energy, his head snapped up, his hands out and he felt himself changing. It hurt and soon heard screaming of sorts but he couldn't tell if it was him or Clara. But it soon started to sound a little high pitched but the process soon died down and he was panting.

In a state of shock, he snapped his head at Clara, who had a look of shock and confusion. He walked over to her and looked her straight in the eyes, but soon reeled in pain and held the side where his Kidney's were located.

"Kidney's! I got new Kidney's! I don't like the color." He said.

"O- of your Kidney's?" Clara asked in a state of shock.

He shook his head and noticed his hair, it was long, it sorta reminded him of his 8th self. And it was also… Ginger.

"Yes." He whispered.

"What?" Clara asked.

"Ha! Ha! Ginger! After 11 or how some view it 13 bodies! Ginger! I'm finally Ginger!" he cried happily!"

He kissed his hair and hugged Clara who shrieked in surprise and he kissed her head and let her go.

"Although it is a little long. What does the rest of look like… ooo, Scottish accent as well. And I'm a tiny bit shorter than my last body. Well?" He asked Clara.

Clara got of her shock but she didn't know how to explain on was happening.

"Uh, well… this will come as a little bit of a shock." Clara managed to say.

The Doctor had a curious look and said," Why's that?"

Clara looked around for a mirror and found a full length one the TARDIS placed behind The Doctor and she silently thanked her.

"Look behind you."

The Doctor turned around and gasped. He was a she, and she looked exactly like Amy, except she was wearing his clothes. The irony was that it looked raggedy and she would've found it funny if she was not currently mad.

If was an attempt of a joke, she didn't find it funny or liked it one bit.

"Very funny dear. You give me a mirror that makes look like Amelia! Jokes over, show me what I really look like. Clara?" She asked with annoyed tone.

"It's not a trick."

"What?"

It's not a trick."

"What?!"

Before The Doctor or Clara could say anything else, the TARDIS lurched and shook with The Doctor running to the console.

"OH We're crashing!"

Into what?!"

"Just stay calm! Also, one question. You know how to fly this thing?" The Doctor asked.

Hope you guys liked it. If I do decide to go along with this I'll make a Day of the Doctor chapter and she can meet her previous selves. Also I added a little to the chapter.
