"Come back tomorrow," said Clara with her arms crossed, "Ask me again."
"Why?" Asked The Doctor.
"Because tomorrow I might say yes." Replied Clara as she started to walk away. "Sometime after seven okay for you?" she called back.
The Doctor shook his head slightly in disbelief, "It's a time machine, any time's okay..." His voice trailed off.
Clara smiled as she started to walk out the door, "See you then."
The Doctor turned and called after her, "Clara?"
Clara twisted around away from the door, "Huh?"
"In your book there was a leaf," said the Doctor, gesturing with his hands. "Why?" He questioned.
"That wasn't a leaf," Clara smiled, "That was page one," she opened the TARDIS door and walked away leaving the Doctor confused.
"Right then Clara Oswald, time to find out who you are," said the Doctor to no-one in particular, he sharply turned, moved a few controls on the TARDIS console and set a course.

The Companion Paradox

Just a Day in the Office

Earth- Present Day

Jane was on a beach looking out to the ocean contemplating and relaxing letting the sea air wash over her in...

"Jane, this is the fourth time I've asked, Will you please give these files to your boss?" Said a man's voice.
Reality check: Jane was in the office where there was a young man trying to get her attention, Jason, her friend. Jane was meant to be working on something important or supposedly important, she could honestly barely remember what she was supposed to be working on, she looked at her computer, all that was on it was a blank Word document, no wonder she had zoned out. Her job, title "General Assistant to Miss Sharp." General slave, more like it, thought Jane to herself on more than one occasion but it was a job and as constantly reminded by her mother she was lucky to have it.
"Jane, Files!" Jason pointed out.
"What?" Asked she, she really wasn't with it today.
"Please Jane would you give these files to the boss. Company rules say I have to give it to you to give to her! Plus I'll be your best-est friend ever!"
"Jason, I'm your only friend!" Jane joked as she took the load off of Jason's hands.
"What am I going to do with you," asked Jason.
"Absolutely nothing," replied Jane cheerfully.
"You and your daydreams are going to lose me my job one of these days, " said Jason.
Again with the job, didn't dreams matter at all to anyone anymore? 'I suppose not,' thought Jane to herself as she left to hand over the oh-so-important files to the boss. She pressed the button for the elevator and set off in the direction of her bosses floor.

"Ahhh!" "Ahhhh!" "Ahhhhhh!"
Jane hated elevators. In her mind it was a box of death but she had to face it in this job, either that or take the stairs and that was not going to happen the whole office block was twenty floors high and Miss Sharp along with around twenty others worked right at the top, Jane was unlucky to work on the fifth so the elevator was a necessity for the amount of times she needed to go up there. Despite that she absolutely hated it, especially the ones that made noise. the noise sounded like people screaming. Quite disconcerting. She should have got Jason to go up with her, it was horrible, one hand on the railing, one arm under the heavy files she tried to drown out the noise and terror of the elevator by thinking.
"Ahh!" "Ahh!"
The elevator stopped and Jane got out.

As she walked down the corridor Jane's blood ran cold, it was too quiet. There was meant to be around twenty people up here working, there was always a bit of noise. Not even on a lunch break was it this quiet. There was something else, something she missed. Jane's heart missed a beat as she realised. The lift was silent on the way back down.

She walked quickly to her bosses office, she was about to knock on the door when she heard someone the other side. She almost didn't recognise the voice, so different from the commanding tones of her boss, Miss Sharp was pleading.
"Please, I'll do anything! Please don't hurt me!"
Miss Sharp was in danger, Jane had to do something. She knocked loudly on the door. "Don't hurt that woman, if you know what's good for you!" She yelled through the door. "I'm armed!" She yelled without thinking.
'Stupid, stupid' thought Jane, 'What am I armed with, a file?'
"Oh God, Help me!" cried Miss Sharp.
'Ok, armed with some files it is then' thought Jane and pushed open the door with force. What sight now befell her she would never forget.

"EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"
