The Doctor and I were currently sitting on a little table, playing a match of chess. I was clearly loosing. We were dressed in Monk robes and I was ready to move my piece, when I heard the door open. I lifted my head and found myself staring into the green ones of my friend. Yeah, i'm gonna call him friend.
"...they shouldn't he's definitely not a monk." the older one said. I nearly snorted. They were referring to us two. Like there would ever be something. I mentally laughed while the Doctor had his head in one of his hands.
The older one awkwardly coughed and we both looked up though we didn't reveal our faces.
"I'm sorry to intrude. The bells of saint John are ringing."
On that note the Doctor stood up and pulled his hood away. "We're going to need a horse. Or two." he said glancing back at me, now also without hood.
The Doctor turned around and grabbed my hand to follow him. Of course I knew what the monks were talking about after we departed.

We were now heading down a pathway to the TARDIS. I was already so happy to finally hear from Clara again. I was bubbling with excitement.
"that is not supposed to happen!" exclaimed The Doctor and pointed at the Telephone Box.
"No shit Sherlock" I quietly muttered to myself. No one heard but the Doctor apparently 'cause he shot me a look.
He walked towards the TARDIS and carefully stuck his hand into the Phone box, pulling out the Phone.
"hello?" he asked slowly into it
"Ah, hello. I can't find the Internet." said the voice of my best friend, except she wasn't she.. well, there was no explanation for that one.
" Sorry ?" The Doctor asked, confused.
"It's gone. The internet. Can't find it anywhere. Where is it ?"
"the Internet?" The Doctor asked, now a little bit more understanding
" Yes the internet, why don't I have the internet?" Clara asked annoyed.
"It's 1207." the doctor stated.
" I got half past three. Am I phoning a different time zone ? "
"Yeah, you really sort of are." the Doctor exclaimed
" will it show up on the bill ?" Clara asked. Oh my, this is so funny. I quietly laughed to myself and the Doctor glared at me. Geez, wasn't he a bundle of joy on this fine day ? I was.
I snatched the phone away from him and became a sort of annoyed sigh as answer, I smirked at him and answered clara.
" well, don't you think. Listen, Where did you get this number ?" I asked, faking being clueless.
" The woman in the Shop wrote it down. It's a help line isn't it ? She said it's the best help line out there. In the Universe she said."
"What woman, who was she?" asked the Doctor. By now we were both hunched over the phone, trying to talk to her.
"I don't know. The woman in the shop. So why isn't there internet? Shouldn't it just sort of... be there?" she asked
" Look, listen, I'm not actually— This isn't... " we sighed at the same time, which was a bit creepy. "You have clicked on the WiFi button, haven't you?" I asked, stealing the Doctors quote
"Hang on, wifi..:"she said and dragged the 'wifi' a bit. My God, she's annoying somehow.
We sighed once again. " Click on the WIFI, there's a list of names, she which one you recognize. " The Doctor told her.
"It's asking me for a password" she stated. Now she asked a young girl, probably angie, for the password.
" Is it an evil spirit ?" the young monk asked.
" It's a woman." the Doctor replied, earning a swat on the head for that one.
"hang on, just a Mo." we heard through the Phone
"Run you clever boy and intelligent girl and remember. 1-2-3." She said, entering the password.
The Doctors eyes went round as dinner plates while I just secretly Smirked.
"What did you say?" he practically shouted into the cell phone
"Don't Shout! Now you made me type it wrong! What do I do, how do I get back in ? It's just a thing to - to remember the Password. Run you Clever boy and Intelligent girl and remember. Hang on."
But we already hung up and were inside the TARDIS flying to our impossible girl
{*}
The Doctor ringed the doorbell and I pounded on the doors like hell
"I can hear you, yeah.." we heard and we both grinned.
"Hello ?" Clara said and opened the door.
"Clara? Clara Oswald." the Doctor stated.
"Hello."
"Clara Oswin Oswald!" he sounded so … excited. I almost laughed at the look on his face.
"Just Clara Oswald. What was that middle one?"she asked, clearly confused.
" Do you remember us?" I asked just as excited to humor him
"No. Should I? Who are you?"
"The Doctor ? Gwendolyn ? No ? Gwen ? The Doctor?"
We both looked into the Mirror at the said when Clara practically whispered
"Doctor Who?"
"No, just The Doctor. Actually. Sorry. Could you just ask me that again?" he sighed and grinned like a maniac.
" Could I what?" asked Clara
"Could you just ask me that question again." the Doctor said
"Doctor who?" She said, annoyed and confused
"Okay, just once more"
"Doctor Who ?"
" Oo, yeah. Oo... Do you know, I never realize how much I enjoy hearing that said out loud. Thank you." The Doctor Grinned
"Okay." She said and slammed the door in our face. I Scowled and glared at the Doctor who somewhat looked at me with a apologetic smile. " See what you did ?" I sighed
"No! Clara please, we need to talk to you!" he now shouted and banged at the Door " Listen, please" I called "Please, we just need to speak to you!"
Clara came to the little screen inside the house and we could hear her talking
"why are you still here ? Why are you here at all?" she asked. I feigned looking hurted and leaned against the Doctor a bit.
" Oi! You phoned us you were looking for the internet!" I said, quite aggravated
"that was you ?" she asked, wary.
"Of course it was us."The Doctor replied
" How'd you get here so fast?" Clara asked, suspiciously.
" We just happened to be in the neighborhood. On our mobile phone." my heart leaped a bit as he said 'our mobile phone' does that mean I was now an official companion of his ? That would be so awesome!
"When you say, "mobile phone", why do you point at that blue box?"
"Because it's a surprisingly accurate description!" I defended the TARDIS
"Okay, we finish now." and whop, she turned us out. Bitch.
{*}
The Doctor and I were now in the TARDIS, abandoning our Monk robes and dressed ourselfes in something better. I was finished dressing in no time. I wore thin black leggins, a red summer dress and a leather jacked, paired with black Boots. I braided my hair.
When I entered the Console room I saw the Doctor fiddling with his bow tie. I sighed and walked over to him.
" Really ? The bow tie ? Again?" I asked shaking my head.
"Oi, bow ties are cool!" he replied, offended and let his hands fall to his side as I started tying it around his neck.
"Sure they are. Here, all finished." I grinned and patted him on the shoulder before turning and heading out of the Door.
{*}
The Doctor and I were standing infront of the little Speaker trying to talk to clara.
"Clara ?" he asked as he knocked on the door.
"Hello?" it came through the little speaker.
"Haha, look at us, de-monked. Sensible Clothes. Can we come in now?"
" I don't understand." Clara said
I frowned, "You just... open the door ?" it came more out like a question
"i don't know.." she replied
I sighed in frustration and rolled my eyes " Of course you can."
"...where I am.." she continued
I looked at the doctor while he was fiddling with the speaker.
"i don't know where I am! Where am I? Please tell me where I am! I don't know where I am!" she now sounded panicked and on the Doctors face dawned realization. This was Clara, but not Clara-Clara.
The Doctor soniced the door and we walked in to see the Little girl from Amy's book and Clara inside the back of her Cyber Head. But her body was lying on the floor.
After a while the Doctor finally saw the girl and growled low. You couldn't possibly hear it but I did. That sounded kinda... sexy. Yeah, se- stopp it!
The Doctor soniced the girl and it became it's real form.
"Walking base station. Walking WiFi base station, hoovering up data" The Doctor breathed
"— hoovering up people." I finished
I snatched the Sonic out of his hands, yeah I steal from him quite often, and ran despite his protests up the stairs and soniced Clara's room 'till I found her laptop. I ran downstairs again and gave the Doctor both, the Laptop and the Sonic Screwdriver.
He started typing really fast and I had to concentrate to keep up
"Not this time, Clara. I promise you."he muttered and I laid a hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him in any way. Yeah, he did kinda feel like shit after we left Victorian London. We both were grieving her death but I think the Doctor more than me.
The Robot thing shone it's light on Clara and not a second later she stirred with a heavy breath and the Doctor took her face in his hands. " It's okay, your back, yes you are. Yes you are.." he kept repeating it as I sat down on the stairs, watching as the Doctor kissed her on her forehead. I felt something twitch in me, was it.. dare I say it..jealousy ? No.. god, no, I shouldn't feel like this.. not with him, not here!
{*}
We brought Clara into a bed and the Doctor did something to her Nightstand while I looked around. I found the Book '101 places to see' and walked over to the Doctor, who were biting on a Jammie Dodger. I handed him the Book and he started flipping trough it pulling out a leaf at the end. He looked at it and then licked at it.
"Eww." I said and swatted the back of his head. " Do you always have to lick on things ? First amelia's shed and now a leaf! A friggin' leaf!" I mumbled, getting a confused look from the Doctor. " I-I mean..i … I gotta go downstairs... waiting.. yeah waiting by the.." I turned around and back to the Doctor who watched me amused with an raised eyebrow.. " … TARDIS.. I ..." I ran downstairs and pulled out two chairs from the TARDIS, settling down on one.
Not too long and the Doctor came down sitting on the one opposite me, looking at me with an strange expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that ?" I asked.
" How did you know about me licking on Amelia's shed, how did you even know about Amy and the Shed ?" he asked, talking really fast.
" I- I...i … you wouldn't believe me If I told you and then you would drop me back on earth wh-" he cut me off by putting a finger on my lips.
" Just tell me, Gwendolyn. It can't be that bad. Best you start from the beginning with your story." he said half joking half serious.
"Fine. My Name's Gwendolyn Miles, i'm nineteen Years old, i'm from London but we moved to Queens when I was a little Girl. I am from 2012. I kind of, jumped universes I think. I'm not sure because the first time I saw you were on the graveyard when Amy and Rory... well.." I risked a look at his face and he looked amazed, sad and .. some other emotion I can't place just yet. " And after you and River took off I was going to the Angel and wanted to know if it would send me back in Time, too but I know you said it couldn't or you didn't said it .. I-i-i didn't remember so I just.. I didn't know what I was doing. I got send back in time until Victorian London where I met you. But the strange thing is.. i'm from a parallel univers where you are a TV show. I know everything, from your past to your future... " I bit my lip. " I even know your real name." I added softly. He looked up startled.
" So, what you're telling me is, In your Univers my life is a TV show and.. and you know my real Name ?" he asked astonished to what reason ever.
" Yeah, kind of." I answerd. Suddenly a wild Grin appeared on his face.
"Brilliant! But of your knowledge should never be spoken. Foreknowledge is dangerous, Gwendolyn."
"Yeah, okay, I keep that in mind." I replied and nodded serious.
Suddenly we heard the window Open and Clara looked down at us.
"Hello ?" she asked
"Hello, are you alright ?" the Doctor grinned and stood up, setting the Laptop on the ground
"I'm in bed." she replied. Oh, for gods sake, stop stating the obvious.
"Actually you're on your Window. But yeah... you were." I answered and smirked
"Don't remember going." she exclaimed.
"No." The Doctor answered
"What did I miss?" she asked
"Oo, quite a lot. Actually.. ah... Angie called she's going to stay over at nina's. Apparently that's completely fine and you shouldn't worry like you always do, for god sake get off her back." The Doctor exclaimed
"Also, you're dad phoned, Mainly about the government. He seems very cross with them, I've got several pages on that… I said we'd look into it" I grinned
"i fixed that rattling noise in the washing machine, indexed the kitchen cupboards, with help from Gwenny here, optimized the photosynthesis in the main flowerbed, and assembled the quadro-cycle." The Doctor continued
"assembled what ?" Clara asked, confused.
"Ifound a disassembled quadro-cycle in the garage."
" I don't think you did." Clara replied, suspiciously.
"I invented the quadro-cycle." the Doctor stated and looked fascinated. I patted him on the shoulder and leaned against the TARDIS.
"what happened to me ?" Clara asked
I frowned, "don't you remember ?"
"I was scared. Really scared. I didn't know where I was," she trailed off..
"Do you know now ?" the Doctor asked
"Yes.."
"Well then, you should go to sleep, because you're safe now, we promise. Goodnight, Clara."
Clara eyed them, "Are you guarding me?"
"Well, yes. Yes, we are."
"Are you seriously going to sit down there all night?" Clara smiled
"Yeah, we promise. We won't budge from this spot." I grinned up at her
The Doctor sat down again and I pulled my chair nearer to him.
"Well, then," Clara nodded, "I'll have to come to you," and down she went.
We stood up, as fast as lightning and looked at each other.
"Yay ?" I said with an guilty smile, sounding more like a question
{*}
Clara came towards us with a chair and three cups with tea in it. " Ahh, Tea. Long time since I had some." I grinned and took the Cup, smiling gratefully at my former best friend and she laughed a bit.
"We like your house," the Doctor remarked.
"It isn't mine, I'm a friend of the family," She sait down on her chair and crossed her arms
"you're the guard for the Kids.." he started " Oh, yes, you're governess are you ? Just like.." he trailed off as I discreetly kicked his shin. I made a 'psh' sign and he seemed to get it
"Like what ?" Clara asked.
"Just like I thought you probably would be" he saved us
"You're gonna explain what happened to me ?" Clara asked watching us intently
"There's something in the WiFi. " I started
" Okay..." Clara said and looked at me
"The whole world seems to run on it, it's everywhere and now imagine what would happen if something got inside it started harvesting human minds, pulling them out of their bodies, and uploading them." I explained as good as I possibly could.
"Imagine that, human souls, trapped like flies in the world wide web. Stuck forever, crying out for help." The Doctor murmured and sipped from his tea.
"Isn't that basically Twitter?" Clara mumbled into her cup.
I nearly let my Cup fall down. " How did you know THAT ?!" I asked suspiciously
" Wha' ? Wha's that face for?" She asked incredulously.
"because just hours ago you asked us where the internet was, like it was playing hide and seek with you." I said humoring her.
"Oh..." she said and nodded
"Yeah. And now you've made a joke about Twitter." I said and shook my head
"Oh. Oh. That's weird. I know all about computers now in my head. Where did that come from?"
"You were uploaded for a while," the Doctor shrugged, "Wherever you were, you brought something extra back. Which I very much doubt you're going to be allowed to keep."
