This chapter was written at a 3 year olds birthday party and has been done on my phone so I apologise if its short and there are spelling mistakes.
"Hello Sweetie" River appeared on the TARDIS as usual unexpected, "Oh Hello River" he was sat on the steps reading a book "What are you reading?" she walked over to him "Summer Falls, Clara gave it to me. Amelia wrote it" he had his usual grin slapped on his face "Clara? Who's Clara?" his eyes widened, he had forgotten to tell River about Clara "She's a friend" he faked a smile, he couldn't tell her that she was the girl he was slowly falling for, the short feisty brunette who keeps dying.
"How come I haven't met her yet?" she raised an eyebrow and he started to panic "Well because um, she doesn't live on the TARDIS she lives in a house. She's a nanny you see...I was actually about to go to her now, she travels with me every Wednesday" River had that look on her again that said 'This is my opportunity' he had stood up and started fiddling with the controls "Can I come with you two, I never see anyone and It's always nice to run with someone" she smiled "I don't see why not. Hold on" she quickly grabbed the railing as they were sent of flying through the time vortex.
(Clara's POV)
I woke up with a smile, today is Wednesday a whole day with the Doctor, I climbed out of my bed and walked over to the wardrobe "What shall I wear today?" I flung all the clothes I had onto my bed and finally picked out my navy shorts, my cream blouse and a dark cardigan. Quickly I put all the other clothes back and ran downstairs to the bathroom to shower before Angie or Artie woke up, after that I got dressed then made the kids breakfast after waking them. "Clara is the Doctor coming soon?" Artie asked whilst trying to eat his toast "Yeah, he is but you won't see him because you have school. So hurry up and get dressed!" they both did as they were told for once, I looked at myself in the mirror and quickly sorted my hair while they were upstairs. When the kids came down ready I sent them to school.
After 10 minutes I heard the familiar sound of the TARDIS, I quickly put my shoes on and ran out the house locking the door behind me. I stopped at the doors of the TARDIS placing my hands on the handle and slowly pushing it open "Hello Doctor" I said with a grin on my face but found myself face to face with a woman with blonde curly hair, I must admit she was very beautiful but she wasn't the Doctor "Hello Sweetie" she said to me "Hi, um where is the Doctor?" she pointed to the floor so I ran down the steps to find the Doctor sat underneath the console. He looked up at me "Oh hello Clara" he stood up and straightened his bowtie "Who is she?" I asked pointing upwards "My Wife."
(No POV)
"You have a wife and you didn't tell me?" Clara looked angry so he started walking towards the stairs "Well it never came up in conversation so it never occurred to me to tell you" he had reached the top of the stair and Clara quickly followed him crossing her arms when she reached the top, River was leaning against the console with a smile on her face "Care to introduce me Sweetie?" she said looking at the Doctor, he wrung his hands "Yes um, Clara this is River, River this is Clara" Clara was glaring at the Doctor "Yeah so um, nice to meet you River" Clara said quickly before running of down a corridor.
"Well she's nice isn't she" the Doctor was looking in the direction that Clara had left "And she's pretty" she added looking at him "Pretty? I haven't really noticed" River giggled "I don't mind if you think people are pretty Doctor, but anyway I'm going to go find her she seemed annoyed to see me here" before he could stop her she was running down the same corridor.
As River walked down the endless corridors she heard a scream and suddenly found herself running when she found Clara laid on the floor crying "Are you alright Clara?" she stopped crying and looked up "I'm fine, just fell of the stupid ladder" she kicked it, River offered Clara her hand and pulled her up "Thanks" the two women stood there for a moment still holding each others hands until Clara pulled away "So you and the Doctor?" she grabbed a book and sat down wincing as sh leaned back "He travelled with my parents and well, I refused to kill him so we got married in a parallel type universe to save everyone... Do you want me to take a look at your back it might be bruised?" River stepped closer "I guess you should" Clara stood up and lifted her blouse "It's slightly bruised your spine but it should be okay in a few days" she said running a finger down her back making Clara shiver and quickly pull it back down.
When Clara turned around River was closer than she needed to be but neither of them moved "So how long have you been travelling with the Doctor?".
"A month or so."
"Are you two close?"
"I guess, but we're just friends."
"I'm surprised he hasn't made a move, you're very pretty" Clara tucked her hair behind her ear "Thanks, but you're stunning I don't think he would cheat on you.." River took another step forward, Clara could feel her breath on her cheek "Does it bother you that I'm here Clara?" she shook her head "It's nice to meet people close to the Doctor plus sometimes it's awkward with just me and him" River was confused "How?" Clara bit her lip "People assume that we're together, especially Angie..." River stepped back "Who's Angie?" Clara looked up at her "Oh she's one of the kids I look after, I'm a nanny you see but I think I might leave them, it was only temporary, I'll probably buy a house and stay there" Clara sat back down.
"Will you carry on travelling with the Doctor?" River sat on the chair arm "Probably unless I meet someone who takes my breath away and wants to settle down" she joked "Do you have feelings for him Clara?" her eyes widened "Oh stars no, course not he's just a friend" they sat in silence for a while until River spoke again "We should go back to the console room, he might think we're fighting" Clara nodded, they walked together and found the Doctor wearing a fez "Oh Sweetie not the fez again" he looked up "Fezzes are cool" River rolled her eyes "I think fezzes are cute" both the Doctor and River looked at Clara "Did I just say that out loud?" they both nodded "Sorry".
She walked and sat down on the chair, River stood in front of her "Can I sit with you, there are no other chair and the steps are freezing?" Clara shifted to the side "Sure" she smiled "Thank you Sweetie" the Doctor looked at them confused and they both started laughing "What's so funny?" he asked "You Sweetie, did you expect us to hate each other?" River asked "Well yes, I mean no!" he pouted "Oi Chinboy quit pouting, where are you taking us?" Clara stood up and sat on the console next to him "Where would you like to go?" she raised an eyebrow "Come on Chin, you shouldn't have to ask me anymore, I say the same thing every time" he opened his mouth to speak then closed it again making Clara giggle. River watched them bemused "Alright Miss Oswald, somewhere awesome it is!" he pulled a lever and sent them hurtling through time and space, Clara and River were being thrown around whilst the Doctor pushed all the controls, as they were about to land the TARDIS threw River to the ground and Clara fell on top of her sending them both into a fit of hysterics, Clara stood up pulling River with her "I'm so sorry, are you alright?" they brushed themselves of "I'm fine Sweetie are you, with your back an all?" she nodded "I'm fine, so Chin where are we?" he pointed to the door "Take a look" she walked to the door and slowly pushed it open, she stepped out and River followed behind "We're on the planet Saffire of the Tandon galaxy" they were stood on a beach, the sand was dark red and the ocean a deep purple and the sky TARDIS blue with bright white stars.
"It's beautiful" Clara gasped "Wanna take a dip?" River turned and looked at Clara "I don't have a swimming costume thought" River smirked "It's called skinny dipping Sweetie" Clara giggled, they were both running towards the water stripping when the Doctor had come out, "What are you two doing!?" he shouted "Swimming" Clara replied "Are you coming Sweetie?" they were in the water splashing each other. "No thanks I'll just wait here" he sat down "Oh don't be a spoil sport, just strip and get in Sweetie" he turned bright red "Turn around then, both of you" they both giggled but turned around as he undressed "You can turn back around now", he was wading through the water towards them, they looked at each other and attacked him with water. When he stopped he realised the water was only up to their waists, he couldn't help but look at the two women "Quit staring Chin" Clara said covering herself, River just laughed "You shouldn't hide yourself Clara, your beautiful" Clara blushed "Doctor seriously quit staring, for two reasons. One your wife is here you should stare at her and two it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable!" she started to walk back to the shore "I'm sorry Clara I didn't mean to.." she was picking up her clothes and walking to the TARDIS. "Poor girl, I reckon she has a thing for you" he choked "I'm sorry what!?" she laughed at him "You heard me 'Chin Boy'" he pouted "You look cute when you pout" he blushed "You looked even cuter when you blush" she walked towards him and put her hands on the back of his neck.
"River.." she pressed her lips to his, he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist, she could see Clara watching from the TARDIS and started to feel bad until she went inside, when she pulled away the Doctor smiled but it didn't reach his eyes "What's wrong?" she asked him "I just feel bad about making Clara feeling like that" she kissed his cheek "Just talk to her she'll be fine" she pulled him out of the water, they walked back to the TARDIS. They walked down separate corridors, River had gone down the corridor with Clara's bedroom and the Doctor went down the other. River went into the bathroom and threw her clothes to the side and got into the shower, she heard a splash and looked around the curtain to see Clara getting out of the bath "Oh god Clara I'm so sorry I didn't realise you were in here" Clara quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself "It's fine I was getting out anyway" she smiled and picked up her clothes "Oh Okay" she smiled back "I'm off to bed so night" she opened the door "I thought you didn't live on here?".
"I don't but the Doctor gave me a room to sleep in when we've had a long day and stuff.."
"Oh right okay, well night Clara"
"Goodnight River"
She quietly walked out and went into the room next door, the room was exactly the same as her room at the Maitland's which made her feel better. She went over to the drawers and pulled out a large shirt and a pair of shorts and underwear, she quickly dried of and got dressed, she sat at her desk drying her hair when the door opened "Oh, it seems my room has been moved" River stood in the doorway in a towel "Seems so, ask the Doctor he'll know...Wait shouldn't you two share a room?"
(Meanwhile)
The Doctor got out of the shower wrapping a towel around himself then it struck him Clara has Rivers room, he quickly dried and got dressed into his pajamas before running down the corridor towards Clara's room. When he got there he heard Clara sk why they didn't share a room "River, I'm sorry about that I gave Clara your room by accident, the TARDIS had changed the interior and I hadn't realised until I gave it to Clara" she just looked at him "So where do I sleep?" he bit his lip "Well it will take a while to make a new room so you could sleep in my room or the TARDIS could put another bed in Clara's room?" she looked back at Clara "Don't suppose we could share, I have a feeling he talks in his sleep about science" Clara laughed "He does, so yes you can" the Doctor clapped his hands "Sexy please add another bed to Clara's room" the TARDIS beeped "What do you mean you can't?" It began beeping again "Ah she says there isn't enough room.." Clara was laughing "You called the TARDIS Sexy, that's just not right. But I guess me and River could just fit into my bed its pretty big, we could top and tail like it's a sleepover?" River smiled "Sounds fun, but I haven't anything to wear" she reminded them "You can borrow something of mine".
'How can they be friends, it's not right. Especially River, she's usually jealous!' the Doctor thought to himself "Thanks Clara, Well goodnight Doctor" he quickly snapped out of his trance "Ah yes, goodnight River. And goodnight Clara" he said looking through the door "Night Doctor" Clara said with a smile. River walked into Clara's room closing the door behind her "Right so do you want proper pajamas or a shirt and shorts like me?" Clara asked standing up walking over to the drawers once more "Shirt and shorts if that's okay Sweetie" she nodded pulling out a shirt and some shorts and handing them over to her "I'll just turn around so you can dress" Clara said quickly before facing the wall, she heard River drop the towel before pulling the top over her head and pulling on the shorts. "Okay I'm done" Clara turned back around and quickly slid under her bed sheets next to the wall, River sat on the bed tying her hair up "So what's he like when I'm not around?" she asked "Oh you know, he kinda just acts like a twelve-year-old most of the time" she sighed getting under the covers "He's an idiot, I wish he would grow up" Clara passed her the extra pillows "Well um, night River" Clara turned to face the wall "Night Clara".
"Clara?"
"Yes?" Clara said sleepily.
"Have you ever kissed him? I mean my mother did and a lot of his companions did.."
"No I haven't, the only time he does kiss me is when we save a civilisation or when we have an idea".
"He kisses you?"
"On my forehead, he's a bit over protective really, it's sweet"
"Oh right, have you ever wanted to kiss him?"
"Maybe once but it wasn't really him, It was the cyber-planner messing with me.." River sat up "I know I asked earlier but do you have feelings for him?" Clara turned to face her "I think I did when we first started travelling but I told myself not to fall in love because it will end badly.." River sighed "I see, don't you like anyone back home? In London?" Clara sat up on her elbow "No, my last relationship was a bit strange so I've stayed away from them" she laughed quietly "Strange? How so?"..."I kinda went through a phase, her name was Nina. She was my best friend through school and college and it just happened" River started laughing "Everyone goes through a phase, some people don't come out of it.." she looked down at Clara "Have you?" Clara bit her lip "I think so..I hope so".
River laid back down "Well again, Goodnight Clara. And maybe by morning you'll know if your out of the phase" River quickly kissed Clara before turning around and going to sleep "Y-yeah, Night River" Clara couldn't believe what had just happened, so she went to sleep and dwelled on it.
