Chater 2- Christmas Spent Finding Jack

AN: In case you didn't read the AN after the chapter before, I really need those reviews because I'm writing that chapter, like, right now, and I need to change some important features in the chapter depending on if it's Double - Clara or Clara - Ellie. Thx! I recommend that you go back to read the details.

Doctor's POV 1st Person

When Clara ran into my chest, my forehead had been on the door, and my arms had been on either side of the doorframe. So her accidental run-in with me had been rather like an embrace. It was interesting that happened, since I don't normally carry myself like that (AN: I wonder why... it's not like I set them up or something...).

She was quite warm by human standards, and we both gasped. I pulled away instantly, by reflex. Clara seemed a little disappointed.

Clara's POV 1st Person

The Doctor pulled away from me immediately, and I felt slightly disappointed. I feel as if I would of embraced him and act as if hugging him was a perfectly bloody fine thing to do.

"Er... Sorry about that," the Doctor quickly said to me.

"Oh my stars... that was..."I struggled to find the right word."interesting," I said for lack of words. "Want some tea?"

" Oh, um... sure,"was the Doctor's flustered response, obviously attempting- and failing- to hide the fact he expected something else besides my casual question.

To tell the truth, my casualness was a product of me hiding my feelings. I honestly didn't have a clue as to what my feelings were anyway.

"So, tea, then?" I restated.

"Oh, yes," the Doctor said much too quickly. "I like tea."

"Of course you do, Doctor. Who doesn't?"

So, going into the kitchen to fill up the kettle with water to heat up," So... where are we taking the Snogbox today, Doctor?" After an awkward pause, "I was thinking we could go to Hollywood?"he said, ending in a question.

"In California?" I exclaimed loudly.

"Sure, why not? How about the 18th century?" Realizing what I called the TARDIS a little too late, he yelled, "Oi! Don't call her a snogbox!"

"Why not?" I questioned with a smirk, sipping my tea. I was pretending I didn't notice his little slip up in attention and processing my words a little late.

"Just don't! For being my impossible girl, your so... so..." he stammered.

"Impossible?" I questioned innocently.

"Exactly! Clara, you are impossible!"

Very wordu , indeed, Doctor."

"Well, you can't do any better, so shut it!"

After that long conversation that probably took up half a chapter- wait, I mean hour, where did chapters come into this?- I realized I was bright red. 'Like a rose,' I thought, and noticed that the Doctor sidestepped my previous desire to meet previous companions. So I asked,"Are there any companions in eighteenth century Hollywood?"

"No..." the Doctor replied uneasily, looking at me with his look, like a guilty kid who just said sorry, and would look at you expectantly, like they could out of punishment or something.

So, in manipulative mood today, I bowed my head and let disappointment color my tone when I said, "Oh... And they really would've helped me with that really important thing..." Knowing fullg that the Doctor would do almost anything to help people, especially companions.

Doctor's POV 1st Person

When Clara asked to see my companions, I was startled. She didn't give me a warning, just sprong it up on me, then left, leaving me no time to come to my senses.

I thought she was just curious, so I decided to try to geT Clara to let me take the Snogb- TARDIS, I meant TARDIS- somewhere absolutely safe (relatively) and companion- free.

But she said she would get help from the other companions, and I thought she had made my a bit mad. Well, I mean, I am the madman with a box, so, madder than I already am. Part of me wanted to reject the idea, and another wanted to deliver to her every whim and fancy. The latter won.

When I decided to help her, I walked over and lifted her chin up so I could look at her, inches apart.

"Alright, which companion do you want to meet first? How about Captain Jack Harkness? Let's do that. Probably the easiest to find, anyway."

I let go of my impossible girl and started walking to one of the TARDIS's main control rooms. I was tinkering with some controls to get to the wanted time, and Clara ca me a few minutes after, noticeably flustered. I assume she was stunned.

"So, Clara... New New New York City, December 2931. Cristmas Eve, actually." I looked at a monitor of the outside of the TARDIS, and saw that it was bustlin with toys and people scrambling for that Last present.

"We're actually here! We are going to see your companions! Can we buy stuff? Please, Doctor?" Clara said as we opened the door to step outside, looking around in awe and occasionally glancing at me, absolutely beaming.

'Thank Gallifrey she's happy,' I thought as we stepping outside, spending Christmas findin Jack.

AN: So, for those reviews, after this chapter, I'm going to give a day or two for your guy to vote, and then I'll just go for the harder, and possibly more entertaining, choice, double Clara. I already have a bit of that written out... Thx.
