'After you!'

Clara poked her head out of the bright blue doors into the sunlight of a beautiful jungle paradise. Clara's eyes widened at the sight of the natural beauty. Tall ancient trees towered high into the purple blue sky with twin suns lighting up the the forest floor. Stepping out onto the grassy floor Clara bounced on the soft ground. The Doctor followed her out with a confident stride. He straightened his bow-tie and looked up to the sky with a grin on his face.

'What do you think then?' he asked expectantly.

'The floor bounces!' The Doctor grinned again.

'I know, it's cool isn't it!' he asked rhetorically and began bouncing around with a childlike joy sparkling in his leaf green eyes. 'and,' he paused '...right by the sea too!' He span round on the bouncy grass with a leap presenting the perfectly clear turquoise waters of the ocean. He ran off down to the beach leaving Clara standing in the clearing looking around at the new world. Realizing the Doctor wasn't coming back she ran after him.

'DOCTOR!' she called out. 'Doctor, what are you looking at?' Catching up she found quite difficult, the soft sand slipping and sliding beneath her feet. She tripped up falling into a shadow in the golden sand. Scrambling to her feet she found the Doctor already beside her and helping her up. Shaking Clara tried to dislodge the sand from her clothes but like a baby monkey it clung tight in the weave of her jumper she turned to the Doctor for advice but instead found him closely examining the cause of her stumble. It was like a footprint of a lizard but in giant proportions. All along the beach she saw the giant tracks crisscrossing some disappearing into the jungle but others ending abruptly in the middle of the beach.

'Amazing isn't it!' The Doctor said beaming. 'I love new planets!'

'Are they dinosaur tracks?' she asked intrigued, still trying to brush away the sand.

'No I don't think so... well possibly... to tell you the truth I have no idea! That's what makes it so exciting!'

'But why do some of the tracks just stop like that? What made them?' A faint sound, carried in the wind, answered her query. A distant sound of beating wings caused the pair to look out to the sea. Dark silhouettes filled the skyline. Dragons. Gleaming in the stray rays of light the majestic creatures sparkled in the afternoon sun. Clara stood speechless just watching the procession of dragons march proudly forwards through the open air. 'Wow.' she murmured under her breath but just loud enough that the Doctor could hear. He nodded in agreement and silently, almost respectfully, they stayed a while, just watching.

Unfortunately the Doctor knew it couldn't last but he found it hard to look away. They had to leave though they were trespassing and he knew it wasn't likely they would be welcome here. They had to get back to the TARDIS and leave the paradise of dragons in peace and tranquility once more.

'Clara?' her awe induced trance was broken by his voice and she looked to him startled.

'Doctor?' She asked, suddenly concerned. The Doctor sensed her worries and tried to comfort her.

'No, it's okay.' he reassured her. 'But we have to leave them now. This is their world, their home. I'm not sure if they would appreciate us trespassing.' he smiled gently. Clara nodded.

'Everything is so beautiful here, but we would be a bit outnumbered if they decided they didn't like us. Okay let's leave them in peace.' She agreed with a smile. 'Dragons though, how are we going to beat that!' The Doctor laughed.

'Well,' he said, 'I'll certainly do my best!' he laughed. 'I'll put the TARDIS on random and see where we end up!'
