Clara's POV
The TARDIS had landed in my apartment. Something about needing to recalibrate herself in order to travel to where we needed to go. Jack was talking to The Doctor as Missy walked towards me and sat by me.
"So..." Missy said.
"So..." I replied.
"What did you say when you were in the Dalek?" Missy smirked,
"What uh- what do you mean?" I asked, nervously.
"Oh you know... 'Exterminate'. What did you say to make it say that huh?" She knows and I know what I said.
"You already know what I said." I said, trying to hide a smile. "I don't have to tell you."
"No. You don't have to tell me. But you have to tell him." She said as she looked at The Doctor.
"No I really don't." I said.
"And why not?"
"B-Because... because I..." I stopped.
"No reason at all. If you don't tell. I'll tell him for you!" She said as she stood up and started to walk towards The Doctor.
"Missy. Don't!" She smirked at me. "Look! I'll tell him, just give me time, okay?"
"Ugh! You're no fun!" She pouted before sitting back down next to me.
TIME SKIP! (During this time skip, Clara made the cards for the Doctor and he reluctantly accepted them.)
"When can we go? I'm bored." I shouted over to The Doctor.
"You're always bored when we aren't running for our lives!" He replied as he pulled a lever. The sound of the TARDIS dematerialising filled the room. "She's ready to go now." He said as he pressed a few buttons. Suddenly, the beautiful sound of the TARDIS stopped. "We're here!"
"Where is 'here'?" Jack asked.
"I have no clue. The Tardis brought us here." He shrugged as he walked to the door and opened it. He stepped outside. Missy, Jack and I followed him, I closed the TARDIS door behind me.
"Huh. We're underwater... Why have you brought us here?" The Doctor asked as he placed his hands on the side of the TARDIS.
"Let's find out." Jack said as he proceeded through one of the halls.
"Wait up! We need to discuss some things about 'not trying to kill each other'." Missy said as she rushed towards Jack. The Doctor's hands were still on the side of the TARDIS as he examined her. I placed one of my hands over one of his and pulled it off of the TARDIS to make him look at me.
"Come on, Doctor. We should catch up to them." I said to him. He looked down as he intertwined his fingers with mine,
"Come on then, my Impossible Girl. There has to be some sort of monster here." He smiled as we started to walk slowly down the halls, under the water, hand in hand.
"So... you and that P.E guy, huh?" The Doctor asked.
"What? No no... He's... too 'normal' for my liking. And he's WAY to protective even though we aren't together."
"Too... 'normal'?" He questioned.
"Yeah... I have my eyes on someone else anyways." I said.
"Who? If you don't mind me asking."
"Well... he's smart, he's loves travelling and he always helps people. He's quite tall aswell, and handsome." I smiled.
"Oh... he sounds... nice." The Doctor looked down. I then stopped which made him stop,
"Doctor. PLEASE tell me you know who I'm talking about!" I complained. He raised his eyebrow,
"Err- well... There's that guy who likes the bowties... Adrian was it? Or perhaps Mr. Dunlop? I mean, who can really tel-" I cut him off by giving him a peck on the lips. His eyes then widened when I pulled away. Both of us had a shade of red on our faces.
"Now do you know?" I asked. He gulped,
"Perhaps I do, Clara Oswald." He smiled as he tightened his fingers around mine.
"I canceled my date for you, Doctor. Just thought you should know that."
"Oi. Love birds, hurry up." Missy said as she poked her head around the corner.
"Hey, Missy! Have they kissed yet?" I heard Jack shout,
"Yep! Finally!" she shouted back to him. "That's twice now, I think!"
I laughed, "I think you and Jack are bezzie mates now."
"I wouldn't go THAT far. We just... oh what's the word I'm looking for... 'ship' you!" Missy stated, "Now come on you two! Let's go!" The Doctor and I released eachother's hands as we entered a room. There was food, drinks and plates scattered around the room.
"Whatever happened in here..." The Doctor paused as he put a finger a drink, he then removed it, "happened about seven or eight hours ago." He wiped his finger on his jacket. "There's no bodies though. What could have happened." Missy and Jack were looking a giant mural on the wall.
"Oh yea this is more like it." I smiled as I put my hand up for a high-five. The Doctor eyed my hand before sighing and giving a smile, he gave me a light hive-five.
"Didn't think you'd actually do it." He shrugged before heading out of the room.
"Right, come on! Let's figure out what's going on." Jack exclaimed. We followed The Doctor into what seemed to be another endless corridor.
"There. You see. Crew." He motioned towards two people sitting on the ground at the end of the hall.
"I don't think they're erm... 'human'." Missy stated. The two people stood up, turned around and started to walk towards us. As they got closer they looked more... see through. They stopped right in front of us,
"Wait, wait. I don't think they're going to hurt us. I think they're just curious." The Doctor said, reassuringly.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Well, I mean, define sure... Look at you lovely chaps. What's happened to you, then?" He asked. The two ghostly people then turned around and headed into another room.
"Right. Let's see where these lovely people are taking us!" Missy exclaimed as she started to follow them, as did the rest of us. We were lead into a room where there was a giant ship in the middle of it. We all walk up some steps and enter the strange alien-like ship.
"Hey look. Markings." Jack said as he pointed up at one of the walls. There were some strange symbols imprinted into the wall.
"Huh. That's weird, why hasn't the Tardis translated them?" The Doctor asked. I then turned around to see the two ghosts back again,
"Hey look, they're back again." We all looked at them and they just stared blankly back at us. They then turned around and reached up to grab some weapons.
"Erm okay they appear to be arming themselves." Missy said.
"Yes yes. It seems it must be time for us to go." The Doctor said as he took a held of my hand. We all exited the ship,
"It'll probably be best if we left!" Jack shouted the last word as one of the ghosts almost hit us with an axe. The other one then aimed their weapon at us,
"I don't think they're 'lovely' people." I said. They fired the arrow as we all dodged and ran into another corridor. We looked all around us to make sure the ghosts weren't anywhere near. We were wrong. One raised up from the floor behind us and the other approached from in front. I dragged The Doctor down another corridor and Missy and Jack followed. A door at the end of the corridor suddenly opened and a woman popped her head out saying,
"In here! Quick!" We all dashed into the room and she locked the door behind us. I untangled my hand from The Doctor's because of the sweat that was building there from the running and the tension.
"Who the hell are you?" A man asked.
"Ah, this is Clara, Jack, Missy and I'm The Doctor." He then pulled out his psychic paper and showed the crew.
"You're from U.N.I.T!" he said in shock, "Well I'm Pritchard," he then pointed to a man standing next to him, "and this is Bennett." A woman then stood in front of The Doctor and shook his hand,
"I'm O'Donnell. Are you really The Doctor? I'm a huge fan," She smiled, "I mean er... nice work. Ya know." She backed away. Another person stepped forward,
"I'm Tim Lunn and I sign for Cass." He motioned towards another woman.
"Erm. What exactly are those things out there that are trying to kill us?" Jack asked.
"Well isn't it obvious? They're ghosts." Pritchard said.
"They're not ghosts!" The Doctor said with a sigh. Cass then started to sign,
"Cass is saying-" Lunn got cut off by The Doctor,
"Don't worry. I can speak sign." The Doctor then signed, "Go ahead." Cass looked confused before she started to sign again, The Doctor looked at her, confused,
"Actually no. No I can't speak sign. I must've deleted it somehow." I rolled my eyes.
"Well, Doctor. If they're not ghosts, then what are they?" Missy asked.
"How am I supposed to know?" He questioned.
"Because you always say you're smarter than everyone else." I stated, smirking.
"Hey. Don't worry. We're like ghostbusters!" Jack said.
"Right. So four random people just happen to be here and they just so happen to be 'ghostbusters'" Bennett explained.
"Yup. Solving alien related things is what we do." I said. A voice echoed throughout the building,
"ENTERING, DAY MODE."
"Finally. It's morning, we can go out now." O'Donnell said as she opened the door and left.
"Errr-" I began.
"Oh no, don't worry. They only come out at night." Pritchard reassured as he and the rest of the crew left. Including The Doctor, Missy, Jack and I.
"I'd like to have a further look at that spaceship." The Doctor said as he headed back to where it was located. We all followed. "If whatever they are-"
"They're ghosts!" Pritchard cut him off.
"They're not ghosts!" The Doctor replied.
"Doctor. I'm pretty sure they're ghosts." Bennet exclaimed.
"It's okay. I understand, you're an idiot."
"Doctor." I warned, "Behave." He groaned in response as he walked into the spaceship.
"Controlling your boyfriend, huh, Clara?" Missy said.
"Oh my god, shut up, he isn't my boyfriend." I complained.
"But you wish he was." Jack said with a smirk.
"Why are you two so annoying?" I questioned. "I mean I only just met you!" I looked at Jack, "And I already hate you!" I said with a slight smile.
"No you don't. Nobody hates Captain Jack Harkness." He said. "Not even Missy. Right?" He asked her.
"I'll have to think about that." She replied. While we were talking, The Doctor had been babbling on about power cells. He then left the spaceship with Pritchard,
"So what have we got? Moran dies, and then those things appear. They can walk through walls. They only come out at night and they're sort of see-through." He stated.
"Doctor, wait. You're not saying..." I said.
"They're ghosts! Yeah... ghosts!" He said, excited.
"You just literally said that they weren't ghosts." Jack said.
"Well yes. I guess I'll admit that I said that but... GHOSTS! They are actual ghosts!" He said with a smile, "I've never met a proper ghost before! This is amazing!"
Cass then started to sign and Lunn translated, "Moran was our friend..." The Doctor looked confused, once again. I walked up next to him and whispered,
"Doctor. The cards."
"Oh! Oh yes." We turned our backs away from everyone as The Doctor fumbled in his pockets for the cards.
"Oh come here." I took them once he found them. I flicked through them before finding the right one and handing it to him. We turned back around.
"You made cards for him?" Missy asked with a smirk.
Jack then flew his arms up into the air saying, "Well if that isn't love then I don't know what is!" I cleared my throat before The Doctor began reading the card,
"I'm very sorry for your loss. I'll do all I can to solve the death of your friend slash family member slash pet." I looked down, shaking my head before taking back the card and placing it into my pocket. "Right anyways! Questions questions questions! One: What is a ghost? Two: What do they want?" Suddenly all the lights turned off.
"ENTERING NIGHT MODE!"
"Err what's happening?" I asked.
"Night mode? It isn't supposed to be night yet!" O'Donnell worried. A ringing sound then came from down the corridor.
"The Tardis Cloister Bell!" The Doctor said, running in the direction of the Tardis. I followed after him.
"Should be go with them?" I heard Jack asked.
"Nah." I heard Missy respond. Great. Alone time with The Doctor. What could possibly go wrong?
