Chapter 2
Author's Note:
Sorry I took so long to update still happy for reviews on any ideas or where to go next.
As the TARDIS finally stopped, The Doctor saw the look of amazement on Samanthas face she had a beaming smile. "So where are we exactly?" Clara asked.
" Space." The Doctor replied slightly excited walking over to the TARDIS door. Clara and Samantha followed slowly behind him as he opened the door. " Take a look." He said to Samantha smiling. Samantha moved over so she could see out the door. She gasped and stood frozen looking at the endless dark sea of black lit by bright stars. She glanced down at Earth and couldn't belive what she was seeing. Clara stepped over to The Doctor and looked out the door. "It's amazing." She said then looked up at him. He smiled, glad to see that Clara liked it.
" That is so unbelievably incredible." Samantha said still in awe looking out into the stars. After about 10 minutes of standing there staring Samantha took a deep breath and sighed. Clara looked and her and chuckled a bit asking "What was that for?"
"I don't want to go, but if my caregivers wake up and I'm not there I'll be in so much trouble." She replied. The Doctor couldn't help but laugh. "What's so funny?" Samantha asked confused. "You're forgetting the most important thing." He replied turning to Samantha. "We're in a time machine." The Doctor explained. "We can get you back and it will only be minutes since we left." He finished. Samantha just smiled. They spent a good hour up in space talking and laughing. Samantha took one more good look out into space before asking to go back home. As the TARDIS landed back at her house she walked towards the TARDIS door and stopped. She turned around and looked at both The Doctor and Clara and asked "I will see you two again right?"
The Doctor smiled and replied "I'll make sure of it."
Samantha woke up and sighed. She hated going to school, the only thing she enjoyed about it was catching up with her friends and eating at break times. She would've much preferred to be with The Doctor and Clara. As her day progressed her last class was maths. The only she hated more than school was maths with Mr Seveer. As she walked into Mr Seveer's class she grumbled at the set of warm up questions on the board. She sat next to her best friend Rhiann and began to try the questions on the board until Mr Seveer came into class. She sat there staring at the board thinking about last night. "Hey" Rhiann said nudging her. " Seveer's looking at you." Rhiann whispered.
"Hmm?, oh sorry." Samantha replied shaking her head and looking at her work.
" What was that all about?" Rhiann asked looking at her. "You're like so out of it." She said when she got no reply.
"Sorry." Samantha said again. "I'm just thinking." She replied.
"About what?" Rhiann whispered frustrated.
"Don't worry, you wouldn't understand." Samantha said and looked down pretending to work.
"Try me." Rhiann argued. " I hate having secrets between us." Rhiann mumbled.
"Girls! Do your work!" Mr Seveer shouted.
"Yes Sir." They both replied. A few minutes later Rhiann looked at Samantha.
"Tell me." She pleaded whispering so Mr Seveer didn't catch them talking again. Samantha opened her mouth and was about to reply when she heard the familiar whooshing sound as the TARDIS started to materialize at the back of the room "Yes!" Samantha squeaked.
"What, what is this?" Mr Seveer yelled. He got all the children to go to the other side of the room all except one. "Samantha! Get here right now". He shouted at her.
"Sorry no can do." She replied smiling as she walked over to the TARDIS. She knocked on the door twice and it opened. She stepped in and turned around to face the class and Mr Seveer. "See ya." She saluted with a brilliant smile looking at the shocked faces of everyone. Once the door shut the TARDIS materialized away leaving the class and Mr Seveer speechless.
When the door shut Samantha looked at Clara who had opened it for her and threw her arms around her saying "Thank you so much, you saved me from maths." Clara just laughed and hugged her back. They both walked over to The Doctor who was flicking switches and knobs. "So, where are we going this time?" Clara asked.
"Somewhere." The Doctor replied slightly uncertain.
"He has no idea where we're going does he?" Samantha asked looking at Clara. Clara shook her head in response and laughed so hard she got a semi evil glare from The Doctor. As the TARDIS landed The Doctor called out "Ahh we're here."
"Where ever here is." Clara whispered to Samantha, which resulted in them both giggling. The TARDIS door opened and The Doctor walked over mumbling to himself. He took a step outside and he was gone, his yell pierced through the air followed by a large splash. "Doctor!" Clara shouted, the smile wiped clear off her face. She ran over to the door and stopped dead, Samantha ran up behind her. Clara looked down and there she saw The Doctor treading water looking back up at her. "Lovely day for a swim isn't it?" The Doctor asked playfully seeing the concern on Clara's face fade away to be replace with a smile. "Oh Doctor." Clara laughed she rubbed her face and sighed. Samantha through the corner of her eye saw The Doctor making a pushing action in the water then he pointed at Clara. Samantha looked at him with a questioning look on her face, he just smiled and nodded. Unknown to The Doctor and Samantha, Clara saw his actions so when Samantha went to push her she twisted round and grabbed her hand pulling her down to. They both screamed when they fell even though it was a bit less than three metres to the water. The both surfaced laughing. "I saw your little plan going on there Doctor." Clara stated with a devious smile. The Doctor opened his mouth to apologise but his attempt was futile all he got was a mouth full of water as Clara splashed him. "Oh it's on!" The Doctor said looking at Clara, but then he turned and splashed Samantha. "Hey!" She laughed and splashed Clara. "Oi." Clara laughed splashing both of them. After a few more minutes of splashing each other Clara shivered the cold water finally getting to her, The Doctor noticed and suggested they swim to shore. The shore wasn't to far away but it was a decent enough distance to make them all a bit tired and they still had to walk back up to the TARDIS which had moved away from the edge of the cliff a bit.
Samantha walked ahead of them. "So do you think the TARDIS purposely landed on the edge of that cliff?" Clara asked looking up at The Doctor as they continued walking.
"Probably." The Doctor laughed.
"Maybe she was hoping I'd walked out first." Clara commented.
"She may be sneaky and moody sometimes but I don't think she'd do that to you, I bet it was a planned joke aimed at me." He replied smiling. Clara Smiled and nodded. They weren't to far from the TARDIS now but the evening air had a certain chill to it enough to make Clara shiver again. The Doctor took off his coat and placed it around her shoulders. "I'm not sure how useful it will be considering its still a bit damp." He said.
"Thanks." She said quietly. Samantha reached the TARDIS before The Doctor and Clara and to her surprise she hadn't even touched the door yet when it opened for her. She waited till they caught up. "Was it already open?" The Doctor asked.
"Nope, I was reaching to see if it was open and before i even touched the TARDIS, it opened by itself". Samantha explained.
"Oh, okay strange anyway lets go inside." The Doctor said a tad confused, according to Clara the TARDIS needed convincing before it let her in and she'd had only met Samantha once before. Clara showed Samantha where the showers were and some dry clothes to get changed into for afterwards. Samantha had a shower then Clara had one after her. The Doctor got dried off with a towel and got dressed into some dry clothes. The all meet up in the control room. "Follow me." The Doctor said walking outside. They followed him to where he had set up a little campfire and sat down. They all watched the sunset and the stars beginning to appear in the sky. Samantha sighed then said "I'm going to be in so much trouble when I get home." Clara chuckled. Samantha looked at her and smiled.
"Or, you could stay with us for a bit?" The Doctor said. "Only if you wanted to of course." he added.
