"Wow. So this is what I look like now," I said. I hadn't looked at a mirror since before my regeneration. I had long, dark hair that curled away at my shoulders. My eyes, wow my eyes. Far away they looked gold, but up close, you could see that the bottom was mainly blue, the middle was greenish, and the top was dark brown. Later I figured out that my eyes were more brown some days, and more blue others. So instead of gold, they looked many variations of colors. It all depended on the day. Today, there was equal brown and blue and only a little green. My skin was of a slightly tanish complexion, with freckles all over. Ten fingers, ten toes, a nose, two eyes, the basic body norms.

"You didn't check a mirror once until now?" Clara asked.

"Didn't really seem important at the time. We had bigger problems," I explained.

"You still could've checked a mirror."

"I didn't feel it necessary at the time."

"Oh shut up you two," Student said. "No one wants to listen to you go back and forth like an old married couple."

"Are you suggesting I fancy him?" Clara asked.

"Oh come on, don't deny it. You know you do. Same goes for you Junior."

"Umm..." I started to blush.

"Student, stop now. Can't you tell you're making him uncomfortable?"

"Isn't that my job?"

"Hush."

"But-"

"Student! Hush!"

"Fine. Have it your way. I'll be in my workshop," Student said as he walked out of the main room.

"Just ignore him. You know he's just trying to annoy you," Clara said.

"Yeah, I know. I've had to deal with him for two hundred years, trust me. I know," I said. "Anyway, how would you like to meet Queen Elizabeth?"

"That sounds amazing. Just give me a sec to get changed."

"Changed?"

"Well I have to dress to the times, don't I?" She ran out of the room, and returned in an old-timey dress that women wore during Elizabeth's reign. "I hate these kinds of dresses, well, dresses in general, but I like to keep to the times."

"Ok then," She looked cute in the dress, and its color revolved around shades of purple. My favorite color. "I don't follow that rule, obviously," I gestured towards my trademark clothes, a grey T-shirt with a black and white picture of the TARDIS traveling through the time vortex, a blue zip up hoodie which I always kept unzipped, grey cargo pants and a purple snap back hat, worn backwards. I pulled Student out of his workshop and we began to pilot the TARDIS together. Piloting together was Clara's idea of getting us to be nicer to each other, but we usually ended up fighting over the controls and yelling at each other. Speaking of which-

"Student! Don't press that!"

"Junior you're supposed to pull that and push this!"

"You're doing everything wrong!" We yelled in sync.

"Get along you two! You're supposed to be helping each other!"

"Hush Clara!" We yelled in sync again.

"Why do I even bother..." Clara asked herself silently.

We landed roughly. The TARDIS shook violently for a few seconds, then settled.

I opened the doors and walked out. "Welcome to-mmmm?" I was cut off by a woman in a regal yellow dress and crown who grabbed me and began making out with me. It was Elizabeth.

"My love, I have missed you greatly!" She exclaimed.

"Umm I'm not-" She began making out with me again.

"My dear Doctor, you were gone for so long, it must've been three, maybe four minutes!"

"Doctor, what is going on?" Clara asked.

"I'm sorry, you're mistaking me for my father; I'm the Junior Doctor, the Doctor's son," I said as I moved Elizabeth away. "Clara, this is Elizabeth. Elizabeth, this is Clara."

"How do you do?" Clara said as she bowed.

"No need formalities dear, after all, you are my daughter in-law aren't you?" Elizabeth asked.

"How do you mean?" She asked.

"Aren't you and him married?" Elizabeth asked, pointing at Clara and I.

"What? No!" Clara and I said together.

"Why do people keep thinking we're together?" I asked Clara.

"Two people assume you're together and suddenly you think everyone assumes you're together? Come on you two," Student said. "And to answer your question, it's because you two obviously fancy each other."

"We don't fancy each other!" Clara and I yelled.

"Yeah. Sure you don't. Anyway, does there happen to be any world threatening problems here by chance? We seem to run into them a lot so might as well get it out of the way now," Student said.

"Well, there are the Zygons. But you shouldn't worry about that right now, we have a picnic to enjoy, compliments of your father," Elizabeth said as she led us over to a picnic that was set up. "As your father once said, 'you've got a picnic to eat.'"

Elizabeth explained all that happened thus far as we enjoyed the picnic. Inside the castle, the Zygons, big, pink, rubbery things with suckers all over and venom sacks in their tongues, had set up their base and were using stasis cubes to preserve themselves to a time when Earth would be more desirable, as the Zygons required "a certain level of comfort." Some Zygons stayed behind to make sure the stasis cubes were in safe places and wouldn't be disturbed before the time for them to come out came. These Zygons were still a threat to the kingdom, however, and needed to be dealt with. "So you'll help, yes?" Elizabeth asked.

"Of course. It's our duty to help in any way we can," Student responded.

"To the castle!" I said as I dramatically pointed at the castle.

We walked through the halls, Elizabeth leading the way. We walked for what seemed like forever. I was in the back of the group, and eventually I had to take a short respite. I expected to be able to catch up with them in a minute, so I told them to go on without me. I sat for about two minutes before I heard a scream. I ran to where the scream came from and I saw two copies of Student fighting each other, Elizabeth watching and Clara running out of the room being chased by a zygon.

"Clara!" I shouted.

"Go after her, I'll be fine!" One of the Students yelled.

"How do I know you're the real one?" I asked. He responded by taking out his sonic screwdriver; our mom's old sonic.

"Now go!"

I ran down the hall Clara went down, following the screams and shouts, and as I finally caught up, we were back in the control room, and there were two Claras. "Clara...?" I said slowly.

"Doctor it's me! She's the copy!" One Clara said.

"You can't seriously believe her!" The other shouted. "Doctor I'm Clara!"

"She's obviously a copy, look how off everything on her looks." I scanned the other Clara, and I got confused. Were Clara's ears always that cute? Were her eyes always that equally spaced?

"Doctor please believe me, I'm Clara." The other Clara said. "She's the copy! Everything is off with her!"

"No! She's the copy!"

"No, she is!"

They went back and forth like that a few times until I shouted, "Stop! Now! Both of you!"

I walked around the Claras, studying each and every bit, trying to find some sign that would tell me which one was my Clara. "Doctor...please believe me...I am Clara..." She said as she hugged me. And then she kissed me. I put my hands on her shoulders, and my thumbs were near her neck, and I realized something. She wasn't wearing the necklace. Her grandparents' necklace.

"You are NOT Clara!" I yelled as I pushed her away. The Zygon quickly went back to its original form, and ran towards Clara, picking her up as it passed. "Put her down!"

The Zygon didn't stop, and ran towards the stasis cubes. I chased after them, but right as I was able to get them back in sight, I was too late. The Zygon had already begun translating her into the stasis cube. Clara disappeared before my very eyes. I had lost her again. "NO!" I shouted as I ran towards the Zygon, but I stopped in my tracks, then collapsed.

The Zygon laughed and said, "I am sure you know that us Zygons possess venom sacs in our tongues. Remember our kiss?"

"Student..." I called weakly.

"He can't help you. My brother-" He was cut off as a loud boom came from behind, and a seismic wave knocked him over. Then Student walked over to the Zygon, and punched him directly in the face with the sonic glove. The Zygon didn't survive.

He panted for a couple of seconds, then noticed that I was slowly passing out. "Oh god Junior...you've gone and gotten yourself killed again haven't you..."

"In my workshop..." I started, "A cure..."

"You made a cure and didn't bring it with you?! God do I have to do everything myself?" Student asked. "Just hold on Junior, I'll be back soon. Don't die on me. I can't let you die again." Then everything went black.

I woke up in my bed in the TARDIS, Student watching from my chair. "You've been out a while. I would've been worried, but the regeneration process never started, so I just waited."

"Ugh my head...wait...where's Clara?"

"I was afraid you would ask." Student got up and took a small portrait off of one of my shelves. It was a picture of Clara.

"She's in here?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Oh god..." I took the portrait from Student. "Clara I'm so sorry... I've failed you again... Wait... Wait! We can speed up the process of getting her out! Huzzah for time travel!" I put some commands in the TARDIS, ran outside and into the art gallery I landed us in front of, donated the portrait, got back in the TARDIS, went one hundred years in the future, and went to where the portrait was in the gallery. And I waited. After two hours, the stasis cube broke open, and Clara appeared in front of me.

"Doctor...is it really you?" I hugged her.

"It's me Clara. I'm so so sorry this happened to you. I should've been there for you. I've failed you again."

"Oh hush. You haven't failed me. You've never failed me. And I know you will never fail me. Now let's get back to the TARDIS."
