How I Met Your Father
"Mummy?" The blonde 36 year old looked up from her book as soon as she heard her youngest daughter's voice. "Is there something wrong Clara?" She asks, putting the 300 page book down on the coffee table.
"I miss Jenny, when is she coming back from college?" Clara starts tearing up and sits next to her mother. Rose gives her now sobbing daughter a hug. Her 19 year old daughter Jenny went to America to study archaeology. It has been 6 months since she came home. Yesterday, she told her family that she is coming back and staying for 2 weeks.
"Jenny is gonna come any minute now Clara. Now why don't you play with daddy?"
"Daddy is fixing K-9 right now," Clara wipes away her tears. K-9 is their robot that John made when Jenny was 8 years old.
"Hmm...alright. How' bout I tell you a story?" Clara's face lit up. "About what?"
"How I met your father. You're going to enjoy this story," Rose told this story before to Jenny when she was Clara's age.
It was a sunny day in London. 6 year old John Smith was alone in the sandbox, making his spaceship called the 'TARDIS'. 5 year old Rose Tyler found him alone in the sandbox and decided to keep him company.
"Hey! My name's Rose!" she says, holding her hand out for him to shake. He looks up from his spaceship, kind of surprised someone is talking to him. They would usually just leave him alone.
"I-I'm John, John Smith," he shakes her hand. "I saw you alone, so you figured you wanted to play with someone," the little blonde girl sat next to John.
"I always sit alone. No one wants to play with me cause they think I'm dorky," John continued to make the TARDIS.
"I wanna play with you. Come on, lets go to the swings!" she stands up and so does he. "Allons-y!" He took her hand and they ran to the swings. John was so excited! He finally had a friend.
Rose giggled at his excitement. For 2 hours they played on the swings, slide and the monkey bars (but John only got to two circles), until they decided to just sit down under a big tree.
"How long are you gonna be my best friend?"
She smiles and looks at him. "Forever."
"The end."
"Aww that's a cute story. I wonder if I'll ever meet a boy like that," Clara says dreamily. "Trust me you will. But don't tell you father that, you know how he is," Clara giggles at the thought of her dad scaring a boy.
Clara gasps as soon as she heard the doorbell. "Jenny!" She a open the brown wooden door and was greeted with a big hug from her older sister. "I missed you so much Clara," Jenny was hugging her little sister tightly.
John stepped out of his work room when he heard the doorbell ring. "You told her the story?" He wraps his arms around her waist.
"Mhm, she enjoyed it and now she probably wants to meet a boy," Rose laughed at John's shocked face.
"Over my dead body!" Rose rolled her eyes and smiled.
"You are so overprotective."
AN: Yay! Hope you enjoyed that. If you're wondering how old Clara is, she's 7 years old. John is 37 years old. Sorry it was short, my friend dared me do write a story under an hour.
