Hi everyone.. This is my first FanFiction, so I would appreciate comments to help me improve the story. Hope you enjoy reading it. I will try to update at least twice a week.
(Narrative V.P.)
"We have a new caretaker today I thought I told him to come along, but he might be a bit late." At this point the doctor walked in through the open staffroom door.
"I'm the new caretaker, John Smith"
Welcome to coal hill Mr Smith, Danny says.
"Yes thank you, John Smith's the name but you know most people just call me the doctor"... He winks and Clara gives him a look that says, "you little rascal. Don't you dare try anything funny"
The rest of the staff walk out, and Clara leaves with Danny, glaring at the doctor as she goes.
"The new caretaker the doctor" Danny asks slowly...
"Never seen him before in my life..." Clara lies, badly, but perhaps well enough to convince Danny, she hopes. She looks at her arms, where her folders should be, which she deliberately didn't pick up. "Oh, sorry I seem to have left my folders in the staffroom, back in a min."
Clara turned round, and half jogged to the staffroom, where she opened the door walked in and slammed it shut behind her.
"You're wearing a different coat." She stated. The coat really didn't suit him. It was worse than the one he "borrowed" back just after he changed. Shuddering at the memory she brought herself back to the present.
You noticed that then, you saw straight through me." The doctor returned sarcastically.
"You're under "Deep Cover" in my school!" Clara practically yelled at him, "Where's the usual caretaker?"
"Hypnotised, thinks he has a flying car and three kids, has a rude awakening.." The doctor replied, Clara thought he was trying to hide a smirk. He was in fact trying his best to hide his grin, as he thought back to the effects of the hallucinogenic lipstick on the man.
"Doctor, that is NOT funny!" Clara scolded. Paused. Then blurted, "Aliens. Oh my god Is that why you're here, are there aliens"
Neatly dodging her question the doctor replies "It's assembly you'd better run along"
"Doctor seriously is there an alien in the school?" Clara pushes, completely missing the loophole in her question.
"Yes. Me, now run along. The walls need sponging and there's a sinister bottle..." Come on, the doctor willed, please leave. There is so much setting up to do, and I can't get on with it with you hovering around me all the time..
"You can't do this, live among humans and pass yourself off as human" Clara's sharp tongue startled him, and he replied just as quickly.
"Actually River and I had a fight once we lived alongside otters for a month"
"Human beings are not otters" Clara is back to yelling now.
"Exactly" the doctor said, "it'll be even easier." Sometimes, Clara thought, she really hated his logic. "I hate you!" She says before storming out of the staffroom, folders in her grasp.
Danny who was standing less than 5 metres from the door dashed round the corner to his classroom, hoping Clara hadn't seen him. He decided he would follow Clara, He was certain there was something wrong...
The Doctor's P.O.V.
"What's she doing here?" Clara enquires as she watches Courtney's retreating figure.
"Paper towels. Now I imagine you will have lots of questions so go on, fire away, I won't answer any of them." I announced turning away and walking toward the TARDIS, whose doors were open. I noticed the paper towels the "disruptive influence" girl had left, and smirked. Humans were so forgetful.
"What were they like?" Clara demanded.
"What were who like?" I asked, feigning innocence.
"The others before me, did they let you get away with this sort of thing. This school is in danger."
Smugly, I replied, "Well it's a good thing I'm here then isn't it."
"From you." She snapped
"Me?" I queried, what on earth had I done now?
"You wouldn't be here if there wasn't an alien threat nearby. Your strategy for dealing with it involves endangering this school"
'You don't know that." I told her, however she was not to be dissuaded.
"I don't know anything because you haven't told me anything which means I wouldn't approve, which means you are endangering this school."
I used the sonic to show Clara what was hunting the area, and the machine appeared in a green 3d image.
"What's that?" She asked.
"It's a scanner, I'm scanning. Why do I keep you around?"
"Because the alternative would involve developing a conscience of your own... Scanning for what?" Damn, she was kind of right, but anyway. I'll pretend I didn't hear that...
"Any alien life form in the vicinity should show up in here," well, apart from me, "you know I used to have a teacher just like you." I added, for no reason at all.
"Well you still do, pay attention. What the hell is it?" Again with the questions Clara.
"Skovox Blitzer, one of the deadliest killing machines ever created." I hate those things, they're worse than darleks, but in much fewer numbers. I probably shouldn't complain
They walked into the TARDIS then and shut the doors, stopping Danny hearing any more of the conversation.
