Authors Note- Hey guys! This is a Christmas Special me and my friend worked on over the past three days. Of course, it's whoffle because thats all I ever write about. Ever. R&R!
The Doctor spun around the controls of the TARDIS. He was obviously excited for this visit to Clara. It was almost Christmas, and Clara promised she would spend them with him.
The Doctor was very happy- and the TARDIS could tell it too, she still wasn't that comfortable with Jenna, but was starting to warm up to her. The Doctor waited so very long until Christmas would come so he finally had an excuse to kiss her! Under the the tiny bushel of mistletoe.
Of course, he had doubts as well. He always had some issues with feelings. Too human-y wuman-y. But Clara had proved him wrong more times than he could even count. The way his heart fluttered when she smiled, when she held his hand, everything. She was his impossible girl.
The Doctor had precisely placed everything beforehand; where it would be, when it would be, etc. He just thought it was absolutely perfect.
Until he picked Clara up; that was the real scare.
The first thing he saw was when Clara opened her front door were two brunettes that looked quite like her. Clara had this 'I'm sorry' look on her face, and at that moment, The Doctor realized that Clara Oswald had sisters.
The Doctors smile had quickly faded when he saw the three girls. 'Who are they?' He thought to himself.
"These," Clara began, "Are my sisters Cecilia and Nora."
The Doctor was perplexed and angry. His perfect plan was ruined. "Your sisters? You've had sisters and you never told me?"
He wasn't as angry as it seemed. He was more angry at the sisters for no reason instead of himself.
Clara pulled him away from her sisters to speak in private "What the hell is this all about? I thought it was just going to be me and you!" The Doctor whined. "I'm really sorry Doctor. What was I supposed to do, tell them I'm going to travel time and space with a madman in a box? They insisted they stay for some tea and Jammie Dodgers and I tried to get them out before you came." "D-Did you say Jammie Dodgers?" The Doctor said excitedly. "Never mind that. I just want to know why you've never told me about them?" He then added on.
Clara pressed her lips together, "because they'd tease me, taunt me, and they wouldn't understand that you're just a friend."
The Doctor felt a bit crushed at the phrase 'just friends'. He had always thought that they had a tighter bond than that. I mean, for gods sake they had to share a bed when they got stuck on that submarine!
"But..." The doctor sighed, "But why could you keep me a secret? I'm not just some man that you travel with once a week! It would've been hard to keep a secret for that long. Almost a year, Clara! I can't believe-" he stopped himself when he saw that tears were swelling up in his companions eyes.
The Doctor calmed down as he reached for Clara's chin and pulled it up so her eyes met his. "Clara, don't cry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't of gotten so upset over one silly thing." She pulled him into a hug and little by little the crying stopped.
Meanwhile back in the house, Cecilia and Nora were wondering who that man with the bow tie was, and where they both disappeared too. Nora peeped out the door and saw Clara and The Doctor hugging. With a smirk on her face, she said "Wow that man is hot." Cecilia squinted her eyes and stared Nora down. "What? Can't a girl think a guy is attractive?" Nora said defending her actions. "Not the best time, Nora. But I do wonder what's taking such a long time!" Cecilia exclaimed. When The Doctor saw that Cecilia and Nora were watching them, The Doctor patted Clara on the back and wiped the tears from under her eyes. They walked back hand in hand as Clara started to introduce one another. "Sisters, this is The Doctor, Doctor, This is Cecilia and Nora." "Hello, how are you both? I'm The Doctor, as you've heard Clara say. Cecilia and Nora looked at eachother, then back at The Doctor and Clara. They both asked at the same time, "Doctor who?"
The Doctor smiled at the question, "Doctor John Smith." He put it hand out. Nora shook it first with a bit too much enthusiasm. Clara could tell Nora fancied him, and she shouldn't mind, but she does. The rule. She has to stick to the rule.
The Doctor and Nora stopped shaking hands, and Clara took the other hand. When the Doctor felt the heat on his hand, he immediately blushed. He didn't know why he did though, they held hand many times before. But this time it was just... Different. Cecilia noticed the light shade of pink in his cheek and smirked. She grabbed a hold of the doctors hand and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Clara squeezed incredibly hard on the Doctors hand. She HATED Cecilia so, so, so much right now.
Cecilia knew she was making Clara jealous. The Doctor, on the other hand was loving all this attention from the ladies. The Doctor felt really special at this point. Almost all of his companions fancied him or even kissed him before, but none of them besides Rose, he actually liked until now. He could just picture the perfect moment go down in his head. It must've been a good few minutes because all three sisters were practically yelling for him to stop daydreaming or whatever. As soon as he did, he had this smile on his face and said "To the TARDIS!" Clara raced him to the TARDIS while Cecilia and Nora had no idea what was going on, but they just followed. Cecilia chortled, "How are all of us supposed to fit inside that tiny little blue box?" Clara and The Doctor grinned at each other as they opened the doors. "It's bigger on the inside!" Nora exclaimed! Cecilia was speechless.
"Now. Where to?" The Doctor asked.
Clara pulled the doctor to a corner of the console, leaned in, and whispered in the Doctors ear, "Don't fall for Cecilia. Trust me, you'll regret it."
The Doctor smirked, "Then who am I supposed to fall for?"
Clara hated when he did this. His, 'Clara I'm just trying to make you say that you like me hah just say it' look. He's been doing that more and more lately. Clara didn't know what his deal was, why did he keep doing this? Clara had the sparkle in her eyes, like she knew something bad would happen to them. Especially Cecilia. Maybe even Nora. Clara was getting sick and tired of her sisters. 'Why did I even invite them... Oh wait, I didn't.'
"No no no. Im not risking them anywhere." Clara said, relieved.
"Oh Clara." Nora said patting her on the back and whispering in her ear, "We're just doing it so you can lose your boyfriend."
Clara was enraged, "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
"Oh, but you wish he was..." Cecilia stated.
Clara couldn't take it anymore. She smacked Cecilia across the face and stormed down corridors. She found the Doctors bedroom and slammed the door behind her. She didn't care anymore. She sat down on the bed and sighed. Just, thinking.
Cecilia was in shock. She knew her sister didn't like her, but Clara never did something to that extreme. She was always that goodie-two shoes that everyone likes. The Doctor didn't know what to do either. Nora was inching closer to him so he wanted to get out of this mess. The Doctor thought it would be a good idea to go see how Clara's doing. He didn't want to seem like a douche bag after all.
When The Doctor went inside, Clara turned around and instantly started to cry. 'Man,' The Doctor thought 'Clara really does cry a lot..' Clara started to stutter out, "W-Why does Cecilia have to ALWAYS do this?! She always has to interfere with my personal life, and just because I hang out with you, doesn't mean I want you as my boyfriend!" The Doctor once again felt crushed by his impossible girl.
The Doctor looked down, and started to slowly walk by the bed. He sat down on the side of it, and spoke,
"Clara. You shouldn't expect me to fall in love with anyone. I've done it too many times. You're very close to me and I wouldn't just date your sister! Who might I add is a surprisingly good kisser."
Clara looked up at him, "And how would you know that?"
The Doctor sighed, "Because Nora dared me to..."
That made Clara's eye twitch. She fucking hated then so much.
"You didn't..." Clara began, but she couldn't finish. The doctor did it for her, "I didn't like it but I didn't hate it. It was indifferent. I don't really care. It was just a kiss... Who cares about kisses anymore..."
The Doctor had recently rewrote his plan for the mistletoe kiss, and it was even more perfect. He hung it in his bedroom... Which they were in... 'DAMMIT!' He thought to himself
The Doctor tried to grow closer to the mistletoe so it would seem less noticeable to Clara, but that didn't seem to be working out so well. Clara give him a weird look as she slowly said, "Doctor, ehm, what exactly are you doing?" The Doctor didn't really know what to say or do, and Clara was walking towards him now!
He quickly ripped the mistletoe and stuffed it up his jacket. "Oh..Nothing...Really, nothing." The Doctor said worriedly. 'Damn!' He thought. 'How am I supposed to put this back now with all these girls following me like I'm their mummy or something' (pun intended hA)
"You're so weird!" She laughed. "Anyways, shouldn't we be getting along now?"
She opened the door and headed out to the control room where everybody else was. She didn't want to talk to her sisters so she just waited in the hall for The Doctor.
The doctor laughed a fake laugh, and watched as she walked out of the room. He sighed and took out the mistletoe, "Now what am I going to do with this...?" He said to himself quietly, "Should I put it in the pool? No... Someone would find it there... Should I keep it in here still?"
"Keep what in where?" Nora popped her head in the door, "What're you hiding...?"
The Doctor shoved the mistletoe in his pocket, "Nothing. I'm not hiding anything. Where's Clara?"
Nora smirked and shut the door behind her, "Why'd you wanna see Clara? Oh the things for her isn't it..."
The Doctor laughed shyly, "No... Defiantly not..."
Nora walked towards him saying, "You know, whatever it is, you can trust me. I won't tell her." And as she finished her sentence, she tried to hold his hands. The Doctor quickly stepped away from the place Nora cornered him into. "Look, I'm trying to find the perfect place to put this mistletoe bushel so I can finally have a good excuse for..kissing Clara." The Doctor slowed down his speech.
Noras smile was smug and small, "Oh... Don't worry... I'm only going to tell Cecilia..." Nora ran out the door and down the hall screaming her sisters name. When she slammed open the door, Clara was on the other side her ear against the door. She smiled, "So," she stepped away from the door, "What's this about 'telling Cecilia' and 'mistletoe'..." The Doctor smiled shyly and ran out the door, looking like a drunk giraffe.
N-
Clara followed as The Doctor sped walked into the control room of the TARDIS, where Nora and Cecilia were whispering to each other in the corner. Clara subtlety looked over to them and thought, 'What are they even talking about? Are they talking about me?!'
"Okay, so where would you ladies like to go? Anywhere you wanted!" "Anywhere?" Cecilia asked. The Doctor smirked. "Yes, anywhere you could imagine. You could see the planets and the cosmos. Or perhaps, we could go back and forward in time!" He started to ramble on and on so Cecilia stopped him and said, "Okay Doctor. How about Paris, 1843." He smiled and said, "Paris it is." The Doctor then began to spin and pull a couple of controls and a couple minutes later, the TARDIS stooped moving. "Here we are.." Clara began.
Clara grumbled and looked at the ground. 'Paris...' She thought in a snotty tone, 'the city of love! Haha I'll snatch one of Clara's boyfriends again... Wait. No he's not my boyfriend. If he was then I'd be a lot more protective.' Suddenly she felt a small heat on her hand. She looked down to see that there was someone holding it. It was the Doctor, looking at her smiling. Cecilia didn't say anything about the time of year, so he chose around Christmas. Just so he could devise a plan when they were shopping... Or something. Clara looked up and him and they walked out the doors of the TARDIS with her sisters in front of them, hand in hand. Cecilia stopped outside of the doors and grabbed the Doctor when Clara was talking to Nora. Cecilia was almost the same high as him, but just a bit shorter. "Look," She began, "I don't want to spill the beans but..."
Cecilia thought this was the perfect time to ruin The Doctor's plan of kissing Clara and making her fall in love with him and what-not. You see, Cecilia was always jealous of Clara. She was the brilliant, beautiful older sister that everybody liked, gave all the attention to, and got all the relationships. Cecilia was tired of it. She added on, "Clara doesn't like you like that. She's even told Nora that told me when she was talking to her and I quote, "What?! No I absolutely do NOT like The Doctor like that. He's just a friend and I would like it to stay that way!" So you should just stop trying to hit on my sister, okay?" With that Cecilia stormed away. But little did he know, that whole performance was just an act.
He felt crushed. Now what would he do? Should he continue on with his plan?.. Or listen to Cecilia's "advice" which seemed more like a threat actually. "Let's go Doctor! Lots of things to do, many things to see!" Nora yelled up ahead. As Clara and Nora started to talk to each other again, Cecilia looked back and death-stared at The Doctor.
The Doctor was pretty gloomy all night. The carriage ride, dinner, the walk around Paris, nothing seemed to be getting him out of this funk that Clara's sister gave him. 'Clara' he thought, 'My Clara. Always brave, always funny, always exactly what I need. Perfect.' He didn't understand. All of his companions always liked him at one point. Well, except Donna. Maybe that what it was... Maybe... She was being a Doctor to Martha. He acted horrible to Martha. But she was fine now. Nothing to worry about. Little did the Doctor know, Clara was afraid of heights. Nora suggested going on the Eiffel Tower before turning in for a night on the TARDIS. Clara shook her head no, but, as Cecilia said, majority rules. They were standing outside the elevator, Cecilia and Nora went in, and it went to the top. The Doctor stayed behind to try to talk to Clara into going up.
Clara buried her face into her hands standing in front of the elevator. "Come on Clara, it's not that bad! What are you even scared of?" Clara lifted her head up and The Doctor saw it was all red and puffy. Sniffling, Clara said, "Doctor! I'm afraid of heights! I thought you knew this already!" 'Fuck. I'm supposed to be making a good impression right now, especially for what I might be doing later!' The Doctor thought.
"Oh Clara, my sweet Clara. I had no idea you were afraid of heights! Look, I'll be right there next you you. I'll protect you." He looked into her eyes. Clara looked up at him and smiled. "Doctor, you're the best. I'm so glad to have a friend like you. I'll go up." 'Friendzoned.' He thought.
The whole way up on the elevator Clara was clinging on to The Doctor. He liked it.
When the elevator door finally opened, Cecilia made eye contact with The Doctor, and he instantly tore Clara off of him. "Right. This view is absolutely gorgeous!" He changed subjects. "That's a lot better." Cecilia whispered. His smile instantly turned into a frown.
Cecilia whispered in his ear, "If you touch her in one bad way, remember I'm always right behind you..." The Doctor nodded quickly. Meanwhile, Clara was on the ground next the Nora sobbing the words, "Take me down take me down take me down..." The Doctor was about to walk over to her, until Cecilia grabbed his arm. She shook her head, giving him a silent 'No. Don't.' The Doctor pulled his arm away and sat next to Clara, "Hey..." He whispered, "It'll be alright... I'm right here don't worry." He looked up at Cecilia after Clara had calmed down a bit. She wasn't angry, she was smiling. Giving him the message, 'Oh just wait until I get my hand on you...'
"D-Doctor I really shouldn't have gone up h-here" Clara stuttered. "I'm right next to you. I'm always here." He said reassuringly. Clara's eyes were closed. "If you just opened your eyes, you could see the marvelous view!" Clara opened one eye after hearing the Doctor's advice, but as soon as she did, she ran near the elevator and felt like throwing up. Nora ran to her side. "Oh my gosh are you alright!?"
"Yeah I'm fine now. It's just all so overwhelming."
Nora assisted her with walking back to the ledge. 'Well, it was worth a shot." The Doctor thought to himself. "Can we leave now? I'm starting to get pretty hungry, and when we were in the town, I saw this cute little diner!" Clara suggested.
"Sounds fine to me!" Nora and The Doctor said in unicen. Cecilia just nodded.
When Clara and Nora were up ahead, The Doctor started to catch up with them, but then Cecilia grabbed his back collar on his shirt, which tugged him back to where she was standing. Her face looked really angry. The Doctor was not at all looking forward to this next conversation. 'Geronimo.' He thought as Cecilia first started to talk.
"What. The. Hell." She said slowly, "Did you not hear what I just said to you? Don't mess flirt with my sister or you. Will. Regret it."
The Doctor smirked and made took her hand off of his collar,
"Try me." He said and stepped into the elevator alone.
He waited at the bottom, sadly, for Cecilia. When she finally came down, she had a smug look on her face. 'Whats she up to...?' The Doctor thought. She walked out of the elevator and said, "You two run along, we'll catch up."
Clara looked at her suspiciously, but Nora pulled her along. Cecilia turned to the Doctor again and began to say,
"Look. STOP TRYING! OKAY! SHE DOESNT EVEN FREAKING LIKE YOU! SHE TOLD ME WHEN WE WERE BACK AT THE TOP OF THE EIFFEL TOWER WHEN YOU WERENT AROUND, THAT AFTER THIS TRIP, SHE WANTS TO STOP GOING ON LITTLE ADVENTURES WITH YOU. HOWS THAT FOR 'TRY ME?!'" She yelled whispered. With that, Cecilia ran up to her other sisters and greeted them so happy; like nothing even happened.
'I never thought she felt that way. MY Clara, leaving me?!' The Doctor wanted to cry. He really loved Clara, and now she just wants to go? This wasn't fair.
Of course, Cecilia didn't feel a one bit sad of lying.
When The Doctor showed up at the diner, Clara got up from her seat and pulled The Doctor aside from everybody else.
"What's wrong Doctor? You don't seem like yourself." Clara asked. Just hearing Clara talk made The Doctor watery eyed. "Cecilia told me that you were going to leave me!" The now crying Doctor began,
"And I just want to know... Why?..."
Clara glared at Cecilia, and walked over to her,
"What the bloody hell is wrong with you?" She said in a whisper yell, "Why would you tell me best friend something like that?! If you're really afraid of me dating another guy that isn't YOURS then why don't you just date him? Get it out of your system!"
Nora and Cecilia smirked at each other, "Alright..." Said Nora, "Here's the bet. We each get to date him for two weeks. You don't get to. If your 'Doctor' decides that one of us should go with him, you leave forever. But, if the Doctor isn't even remotely happy with any of us, you get to stay with him."
The Doctor rolled his eyes, 'There's no way Clara would ever agree to something like-' He train of thought was disrupted by a Clara's voice, "Deal." She agreed and they shook on it. Nora and Cecilia were each going to be dating him... For two weeks... The Doctor sighed, "Which one of you are first..."
Nora slid back into her seat. "Best for last." She said smugly, implying that he would choose her. "I guess I'm your new girlfriend!" Cecilia smiled. The Doctor couldn't wait until this was over. I mean how would Cecilia think she had a chance with him after her little show she just put on? The Doctor never really talked to Cecilia after that, so it was pretty hard to maintain a relationship. "Ehm so where do you wanna eat? I'm pretty hungry now." "You were supposed to eat at the diner before you left, but you always follow directions don't you.." He sarcastically mumbled. "Oi! I heard that!" Cecilia snapped.
"How are we supposed to do this for 2 whole weeks?!" He asked. Cecilia gave him this face: -.- . "You know I'm right here!" She said pointing to herself.
"And also," she began, "I'm a lot nicer than I think. Just, would you give me a chance?" The Doctor laughed, "After what you've already done? Not a chance."
Cecilia sighed, "Yeah. I get it. But, if we really want to make this WORK, we need to cooperate."
The Doctor thought about it for a second. How happy Clara would be if he and her sister got along. He sighed, "Fine. But I am NOT getting 'lovey dovey' on you at all. Maybe friends. But that's it."
Cecilia nodded, "Alright. Fine. Same goes to you."
"Okay."
"Okay."
