Snowman

A/N ok so basically in this chapter we go back in time, woooo!, to when they were filming the Christmas episode. Then next chapter we go back into the main story line if you get what I mean :) oh and also I did a lot of research whilst writing this and all the events that happen in this chapter are TRUE. Which is hilarious but you'll see what I mean... ;)

"Evening," Matt smiled as Jenna got into the car taking them to location in Newport. She was in her Victorian dress complete with corset which Jenna found very self conscious putting on in wardrobe. It was a lovely dress though, fitting snugly over her chest and flowing down at her hips until it came just above her ankles. It was very difficult trying to put a seatbelt on though...

It wasn't her first day on the set of Doctor Who but it was her first day acting with Matt. In her previous episode, Asylum of the Daleks, she'd been two weeks in a tiny set acting with herself. Now she was out and acting with her co-star for the first time. And that co-star was currently helping her put on her seatbelt...

"Done it?" Matt asked as Jenna nodded smiling back. Jenna knew Matt relatively well as he was one of Richard, her boyfriends, closest friends. Being older than the two of them as well, he sometimes almost seemed like her older brother in a way.

"So first day on set..." Jenna announced breaking the silence as the car drove off.

"I know!" Matt beamed a sudden glint in his eye showing. "Excited?"

"Yes! God yes! Nervous though," Jenna replied beginning to bite the corner of her thumb not knowing herself until Matt gently prised it away.

"You'll be fine. I was nervous as well but you'll be fine, you're amazing anyway..." Matt smiled as Jenna blushed slightly.

"You sound like you know what you're doing!" Jenna grinned.

"Not a bit!" he laughed in reply. "I just kinda go with the flow if you know what I mean, you can't predict anything with Doctor Who trust me, I've been on set rehearsing for a scene when it's been changed halfway through!"

"Oh wow, right!" Jenna laughed.

"Ah no, you'll be fine, trust me... I'm the Doctor," Matt winked making Jenna giggle. "Do you like my hat?" he suddenly asked holding up the Victorian like head gear.

"Oh that's very swish isn't it?" Jenna agreed feeling the felt with her fingertips. "Oh your Doctor likes his hats doesn't he?" she asked.

"My Doctor likes anything that's cool!" Matt replied and Jenna laughed again. Matt had a knack of managing to make her laugh easily... "You haven't watched any episodes of Doctor Who have you? I keep on forgetting,"

"Nope never watched a single one! Oh apart from Eleventh Hour I suppose, but I didn't watch it all..." Jenna smiled. Her and Steven had felt it best to keep it that way when she got the role, so meeting the Doctor for the first time could be more natural. She did feel slightly out of her depth though, not knowing of the background to the story of this mysterious man.

"Oh that one was a belter! The classic ones are good..." Matt said as suddenly the sight of vans and wind machines caught Jenna's attention...

"Woah..." she breathed as the set came into view. The crew were in the middle of turning it into a winter wonderland, some spraying 'snow' onto the pavement and others covering up normal shop signs. There were horse drawn carriages trotting along the new white streets. The thing that struck Jenna most of all though was the crowds that had gathered at either ends of the road. "Are they all for..?" she asked as Matt nodded his eyes gleaming again.

"You'll have to get used to this Miss Coleman," he smiled. "They're all for you,"

"You mean they're all for you," Jenna smirked as they drove through the parted crowds. Jenna had never been immersed in so many screaming fans in her life. It was a mad and crazy world, Doctor Who... But she kinda liked it.

The car stopped suddenly as Matt winked at Jenna and undid his seatbelt. She could hear the cries of the crowd loud enough from inside the car but when Matt opened the door they went crazy in ear shattering volume as he stepped out. Jenna had a moment of panic having never done it before but she couldn't dwell on it as suddenly her door was opened and she stepped out, her seatbelt being thankfully easier to undo... He dress billowed out from underneath her as Matt noticed her standing there, overwhelmed. He held out his hand as Jenna gratefully took it.

She had to admit that Matt was cute. Well no, he was good boyfriend quality... Not that she needed a boyfriend, she had Richard. She smiled at that thought. She was allowed to think that about Matt though... To be honest she was just grateful for him being there as she gripped his hand him leading her away from the crowds and into the set.

The set...

A normal street taken back in time... It wasn't too cold outside although the temperature was dropping by every hour it went into the evening, especially as it was nearing the end of August and Autumn was fast approaching, not to mention that it was a night shoot. Anyway, Jenna was grateful for the warm but decidedly giant duffel coat...

All of this she'd probably say in some sort of confidential interview. Apart from the bit about Matt of corse...

"There they are," Matt pointed out with his free hand. Jenna turned and saw the confidential crew setting up in one of the alleyways. A member of crew came over to Matt as they shook hands.

"Evening! Hey Christmas has come early!" he cried as Matt laughed heartily. The whole team was like one big happy family, Jenna liked that.

"Jenna this is Paul, Paul, Jenna," Matt introduced as Jenna smiled and waved slightly, Paul reaching out and taking her hand.

"Welcome, Clara!" he smiled using her character name. Jenna laughed slightly. "Looking forward to tonight?"

"Yeah it's exciting," Jenna replied honestly. "And cold!"

"You've got that right! Lovely dress by the way!" Paul joked as Jenna laughed. "Your going to freeze,"

"Hope not!" Jenna laughed back.

"Jenna!" a voice suddenly called from behind. She turned and and saw a young female member of crew smiling at her nervously. "Your here, ok that's good, can you come with me?"

"Yeah sure..." Jenna replied smiling back as Paul and Matt continued on their conversation. She started to follow slightly apprehensively and Matt must have sensed this somehow because within seconds his was by her side. "Hello," she smiled.

"Well I wasn't going to leave you on your very first day!" he smiled as Jenna smiled back, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She felt a little like a child walking beside him but half of her liked it, wanted to stay by his side.

Another part of her looked at the crazy world behind her. After being on period drama after period drama for the last couple of years this was a surprisingly different change. And she could tell it was going to be a hell of a lot of fun...

Xoxo

"Ok get ready for a take guys, camera on Jenna!" the director, Saul, cried. Jenna nodded and she got to her position. It was an easy scene in comparison, very little lines, only her crying out as she ran after a Victorian cart. The only difficultly in this shot was the fact that she was running directly in front of a camera which was very hard to ignore but also to try and not run into it. It had be ok in rehearsal though so Jenna was quietly confidant.

Matt was at the side watching her and getting his make up done as the scene took place. There was no cart needed in this take, the cameras purely on Jenna.

"Ready?" Saul cried as Jenna nodded, putting her thumb up and hitching her dress so it was above her ankles.

"Right Scene 44 take one, A mark,"

"B mark,"

"And action!" Saul shouted as the wind machines started and the cameras moved backwards, Jenna taking it as her cue to start sprinting and shouting the Doctors name in her cockney London accent she used for this version of the character. She was doing fine with the running and started to relax a little, beginning to imagine what the character was feeling a bit more, gradually becoming more like her before-

WHAM

Jenna felt the cold metal hit her forehead and the pain rush through her head before she realised what was happening. She stumbled backwards, immediately putting her hand to her head as Saul shouted cut and a few members of the team started to run forwards, Matt being one of them supporting her, as she finally caught her breath, getting her bearings back.

"Jen you alright?!" he asked his voice a mixture of worry and something else that Jenna couldn't quite place at that point in time.

"Mmm, yeah... What happened?" she asked ever so slightly dazed.

"You head butted the camera Jen," he replied as Jenna realised the other emotion in his voice. Humour...

"I what?.." she asked, bemused by the whole idea.

"You ran into the camera, Jenna why can't your remember?" Matt replied, now panicking slightly as he suddenly held up two fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up? Jen?"

"Two! I haven't got concussion Matt!" she cried as she noticed the other members of cast and crew staring at her worriedly. She felt half embarrassed, not really wanting the attention. "I was just... I don't know I wasn't thinking about what was in front of me!"

"Really?!" Matt asked as suddenly she burst into giggles, Matt smiling, the tension gone again as half the street relaxed.

"Right reset to go again!" Saul laughed. "Jenna you ok for another shot?"

"Yeah I'm fine!" Jenna replied happily as one of the make up girls ran up to her.

"Thank goodness it's only a red mark!" she smiled patting fresh powder onto her forehead. "We can deal with a bruise tomorrow!"

"Right! Scene 44 take two, A mark,"

"B mark!"

"And action!"

Two weeks passed and soon Jenna found herself swept along to another location this time in Bristol. Another snowy street filled with Victorian extras and horses. Jenna had found her confidence from day one, the cast and crew being so nice, so welcoming. Matt was charming as well, always giving her sideways tips and guiding her through the whole thing.

The crowds were bigger this time, held back at the ends of the streets. Matt had gone down to both ends to say hello, Jenna didn't need to at the moment. No one knew who she was... Some part of her was grateful but she was looking forward to being immersed in such an amazing fandom. As soon as he came back filming would begin. At the moment though she was just getting her make up redone and keeping warm by an electric heater.

She was chatting confidently with one of the make up girls when suddenly a face popped up from behind the wall. It was Matt beaming at her with his slightly snow topped hat.

"Ready?" he asked as Jenna grinned.

Xoxo

It was on that evening that Jenna found herself on the floor with Matt... Very wet. Not like that but he two had a scene which involved her character imagaining the snowman like monsters melting. One second she was crouching down on the floor with Matt, their foreheads close to touching and the next second she had been covered in a bucket of freezing water, thrown on by one of the crew.

Even though after a few shots Jenna knew what was coming she still jumped a little as the water began to trickle down the back of her dress. She found herself shivering after takes and much to her surprise and a little to her delight she found herself wrapped up in Matt Smith's arms not too long after.

"Warmer?" he asked softly as she nodded grinning at him.

"Much," she admitted, some kind of presence and heat radiation from the actors body. She almost felt flustered in his arms but would never bring it up at all. He tried slightly to wriggle out of his grasp but he held her in close as she began to relax into his chest. It was much warmer than her duffle coat to be honest...

"Ok!" he smiled rocking her back and forth on her feet before finally letting go. "Back to work!"

"Right we're going to do that scene one more time," Saul cried over the noise of the crew. "But I promise only one more time..." he added with a smile mainly to Jenna and Matt. All at once, make up was running over and fixing both their hair, so they looked the same as how they did before and the rest of the crew covered the now soaking part of the pavement with fake snow again.

This time the scene was better, Jenna probably thought because of the added adrenaline she got from being wet. Matt was better as well, the two of them, bounding along the street and pretending to get scared by snowmen that were rising from the ground when in reality there was nothing there. It was a funny old life really but not too crazy until the two were again crouched on the floor.

Clara, Jenna's character was meant to be scared, panicking in the grasp of a stranger but as Jenna felt the warm breath tickling her nose, she couldn't help but stare at Matt and into his eyes which she couldn't tell were a shade of green or a shade of brown...

All these thoughts were rushing through her mind as she said her lines, almost without thinking. And then Matt had grasped her neck pulling her closer, his eyes now clenched and not visible their foreheads once again so nearly touching, just at the spot where she'd bruised it two weeks before... and a tingling feeling racing down her spine. She didn't like him but she deny that she was defiantly feeling something...

And then it was all over in a shower of cold water and the gasp that escaped Jenna's lips due to the cold hitting her bear skin as 'Cut!' was called and the duffle coat was handed back to her, now slightly heated on the inside. Her assistant Lucy winked at her as she put it on. Good old Lucy...

"Ok thank you everyone I think that's a wrap!" Saul yelled as the crew cheered slightly and Jenna spotted Matt shivering a large grin on his face as Jenna strode up to him bouncing lightly in her step.

"Cold?" she smiled.

"Just a little, hot chocolate and cake time for me!" he grinned back.

"But mainly the cake..!" she laughed.

"And?!" he retorted as he went to playfully grab her round the waist, Jenna pushing him slightly back giggling as they walked into the tent...

Xoxo

If one thing was certain then it was that the studio was much warmer than the streets of Wales. Jenna was defiantly having fun walking round the different sets, especially the green screens that were covered with smoke to look like clouds. The TARDIS was amazing as well. Dark and mysterious but chic and young, just like Matt's Doctor Jenna supposed. They'd spent a lot of time in green screens over the last few weeks which was, she had to admit was some of the funniest time she'd had in her time on Doctor Who. Everyone was really lightheaded, making jokes all the time and generally enjoying the ride just as much as she was. Another thing was that Matt kept on stealing the confidential camera and interview people much to their annoyance and fun. Most of the crew just took the mick out of him, joking along, before one of them stole it back from him, usually Paul.

This week however was another change in the actors topsy turvy schedule as they were traveled across to a old Victorian house. It may have been original but there was heating and electricity which the crew took careful preparations to cover up, especially the plug sockets littered around the rooms. Jenna looked at her script giggling at the jokes and smiling at the different parts of the Doctor and Clara's chemistry.

Especially one part. One scene at the end of the day... The kiss.

Jenna was fine with kissing Matt, she'd kissed many other actors in her short tv life, including both genders but somehow a nervous buzz built over the corse of the day as she was working with the other actors, Neve, who Jenna couldn't quite remember how she looked in real life due to all the prospetics she had, covering her face and hands. Dan, who on and off camera was halerious which his fun antics and the way he said things resulting in the rest of the cast in giggles, Catrin who was almost like an on set sister to Jenna and the other members of cast only filming on this set, including two children, Ellie and Joseph Darcey-Alden who were siblings and a joy to work with...

As the day went on Jenna became more and more nervouse about the kissing scene. Well not as much nervous but sort of excited although she had no idea why... She'd never felt this way about an on screen kiss well not in this much depth.

Matt was different to others... She'd say that... How she didn't exactly know but he was... Somehow.

And then it was time. The very end of the day and most of the remaining cast were on a break knowing they were doing evening shoots the next day. Even though most of the actors were gone though, half of the crew was still crowding round the small corridor which Jenna was going to have to run through.

"Right scene 35, let's get it in one guys!" Saul said as the whole room went silent. "A mark,"

"B mark,"

"And ACTION!"

"Oi! I told you to stay in there!"

"Oh. I didn't listen. That's why you like me,"

"Who said I like you?"

And then suddenly Jenna grabbed hold of Matts collar as their lips crashed. She was fully aware that Matt was acting and had his eyes wide open in surprise but he was kissing back well enough... She hung on for a little longer than she needed before pulling away, hands still on his face, 'Clara mode' again.

"I think you just did,"

"You kissed me!"

"You blushed!"

"But with the... Shut up!" Matt finished as he walked off down the corridor leaving Jenna grinning wildly. In character of corse... But somehow she couldn't stop smiling.

"CUT!" Saul yelled as the crew began to mutter between themselves. 'Get it in one' was a very loose term as Jenna found out and within half an hour they had done that scene alone, fourteen times. And they'd kissed fifteen times... One was a practice...

It was a shame that Matt had to act to be honest, Jenna could tell that he was a good kisser and she enjoyed the takes where he acted like he enjoyed it, although after watching it back most decided that it didn't suit the Doctors character. He often had to awkwardly struggle under her and on one take Jenna could see his facial expression through her half closed eyes which made her laugh, blowing into his mouth by accident.

"Jenna-Louise!" Matt scolded as he wiped his face.

"I'm sorry! On I feel like I'm in trouble now! I only get called Jenna-Louise when I'm in trouble!" Jenna cried back grinning slightly, red faced.

"Why? Did this happen a lot?" Matt asked deadly serious for a second before grinning slightly.

"What?! No! I was about ten!" she cried back, laughing and hitting him lightly on the arm as he laughed with her.

"Ha! Back to work Jenna!" he smiled as she looked at him.

"Work? This isn't work! This is just fun!" Jenna smiled back. Was she flirting with Matt Smith..? No...

They worked on the same scene for another half an hour before looking through all of the takes and whittling them down until they had about three or four different types to pitch to Steven. And then they were dismissed, going back to the car, collecting their stuff on the way, sore lipped and rosy cheeked...

"Jen I was wondering..." Matt suddenly started as they neared the black car taking them back to Cardiff.

"Mmm?" Jenna asked smiling up at him.

"Do you want to come round mine for a bit tonight? I have a couple of films or something and we're not needed on set tomorrow until four..." he asked, trying to be confidant but playing with the water bottle in his hands far too much.

"Yeah," Jenna replied. "That sounds nice..."

Her time on Doctor who was going to be good. That much Jenna knew by far...
