"So, space restaurant again?" Clara asked looking at her companion.
Ashildr nodded as she started to put in coördinates in their TARDIS.
Clara didn't need to eat now she was frozen in time, she didn't even had to sleep or use the toilet anymore. Nevertheless Ashildr still needed to do those things. She was immortal yes, but she still had to eat enough.
"You can also just eat something in our little restaurant" Clara commented suggesting to the disguise of their TARDIS, It was disguised as a little diner.
"No, I've got a better idea. Don't worry you'll enjoy it" Ashildr grinned as she pulled the final lever.
Yes, Clara had said that she didn't get hungry anymore, but that didn't mean that she couldn't eat anything! Clara could eat whatever she would want and she wouldn't get fat.
"Fancy restaurant, or normal restaurant?" Clara asked the immortal girl as their TARDIS landed on whatever planet they were.
"It depends on what you call normal" Ashildr shrugged as they walked out the console into the little restaurant from their TARDIS.
"You know what I mean"
"No Clara, it doesn't have flying snails so it must be pretty normal" Ashildr said leaving the TARDIS followed by Clara.
"I hope that there's still a free table" Clara commented as she noticed that the restaurant was really busy. Aliens from all kinds of species were entering the restaurant.
"Of course there is, it's bigger on the inside" Ashildr commented. They both entered the restaurant and it was indeed bigger on the inside.
"Did the Timelords make this restaurant then? They can't find us remember" Clara asked warnly.
"No, a long time ago a traveler saved the owner from this restaurant. Before the traveler left he made it bigger on the inside and promised the owner that one day this restaurant will be one if the biggest in this galaxy" Ashildr explained.
"And that traveler was the Doctor" Clara deduced.
Ashildr nodded as a man came towards the two.
"Table for two?" The man asked in a northern accent. The man was completely white and had red eyes.
"Yes please" Ashildr said gentily. The man took the girls towards a table where they both sat down.
"this time nothing gross" Ashildr warned Clara as they both took a look at the menu.
"the same goes to you, I don't want a living animal to eat" Clara said, her eyes examined the menus. Ashildr and Clara always chose each others meals, this way it would be a surprise for both of them about what their dinner was going to be. Some days they would both pick a tasty menu for the other but at other times they would just prank each other by ordering something disgusting.
After a waiter had taken their orders they would both invent background stories about all the people that were eating in the restaurant.
"Do you see that woman with the blue hair?" Ashildr asked slightly nodding towards an alien woman a few tables away.
"yes"
"I bet that she's a bank robber who has so much money that she eats in a restaurant every night" Ashildr made up smirking.
"Nah, I think that she has 8 children and to get away once a day from them she would go to a restaurant. Children can be really exhausting after all" Clara shot back.
"Then she's a bankrobber with 8 children, does she has a husband?" Ashildr asked.
"No, but she does have a girlfriend... with 3 legs" Clara laughed. Ashildr nodded pleased with the story they'd made.
A waiter came carrying their food. Clara got rainbow spagetti, every string was a different taste. Ashildr got a big orange bread with a purple fish on it, Clara knew that she loved fish.
They both began to eat their meals, both surprising pleased with the outcome. Ashildr had eaten the fish in record time, she really must've been hungry.
Clara smiled and laughed through the whole evening with Ashildr, in the time that they'd traveled with each other they had become good friends. She did miss the Doctor but she was also glad that she had the opportunity to travel through time and space not ageing because she was frozen in time. As the evening came to an end a man walked into the restaurant. Clara noticed him at first.
The man had a long black coat and had a rough posture. He had a look about him that said: don't mess with me.
To Clara's surprise the man started walking towards their table having a certain look in his eyes. When Ashildr noticed him she silently cursed annoyed. The man took a chair from a different table and put it down at their table where he sat himself down. He looked at Ashildr as if waiting for permission to talk.
"What do you want?" Ashildr said glaring at the man.
"Not even a hi? That's dissapointing" the man shrugged not affected by Ashildr's glare.
"You always want something, come on what is it this time?" Ashildr commented. Clara raised her eyebrow, she had deduced that they both knew each other.
"I've come to warn you" the man said getting serious.
"Warn us about what?" Ashildr shot back rudely.
"the second time war" this got both the girls attentions.
"the second time war?" Clara said confused. The man turned his head towards Clara as if now noticing she was here.
"Well well, you picked up a nice one Me" the man smirked as he send a wink towards Clara.
"Tell us about the second time war and then leave us alone" Ashildr warned the man. The man turned his head back towards Ashildr.
"There is a legend that a second timewar will destroy the universe" he said in a dramatic low voice.
"But when will this second time war happen?" Clara asked not really liking where this was going.
"I don't know, but that's not all" The man told Clara annoyed that she interrupted him.
"the saying goes that two woman will prevent it, one is immortal and the other one is frozen in time." He continued leaning back in his chair and putting his hands in his pockets.
"Why do you tell us this?" Ashildr asked not trusting the man.
"Well I heard about it and then I thought.. wait a minute I know an immortal woman. She's supposed to be a war hero so it will probably not be you as you are not the fighting type" the man insulted Ashildr.
"are you challenging me?" Ashildr angrily said as she made a move to stand up. Clara quickly put a hand on her arm and gave her friend a 'don't you dare' look. Ashildr sighed and sat down again.
"I'm just saying this because I don't want the universe to end.. I live here after all. So you two better prevent it from happening otherwise we're all doomed" the man continued ignoring Ashildr.
"But why us?" Clara asked confused, why did Ashildr and her have to prevent it. Why not the Doctor or an other big hero.
"I don't know sweetheart, I don't actually know the whole legend. I've heard parts of it" the man shrugged.
"don't call me sweetheart" Clara warned him taking her friend's side in not liking the man.
"How do you know where to find us? We could be all around time and you still managed to find us" Ashildr deduced raising her eyebrow.
"Spoilers, I'll have to go now" He said quickly as he stood up and moved the chair to the table where it belonged.
"Wait" Clara said quickly standing up too. The man gave her a nervous look as he left the restaurant. She wanted to run after him but Ashildr stopped her.
"He's always like that, you won't find him if you run after him" Ashildr convinced Clara. She nodded confused about what just happened.
"Come on, we're going back to our TARDIS" Ashildr waved Clara over as they quickly paid the restaurant before walking back towards their timemachine.
"Who was that man anyway?" Clara asked walking into their TARDIS, entering the little diner.
"My ex-husband, Scott. He's an asshole so stay away from him" Ashildr shrugged.
