The Trip Upwards
Short Story
Chapter Ten: I'm Always Safe
Clara whispered to The Doctor "you know them?" "Yeahhh… actually, thinking about it. Remember when I said revolutionary French was on a spaceship?" "Yeah" "Yeah, wellll…. they were the reason why revolutionary French was on a spaceship." "And here I was, thinking you were making up stories." "Don't worry, most people do." "That's reassuring." "Is it?" "You tell me-" Mr Dews interupts them "Excuse me, but can you two stop flirting and get me out of here!" The Doctor and Clara turn to face him. The Doctor, forgetful, replies to Mr Dews "Whoops. Sorry." He soaks in the courage to take a step closer to the Droids, in a nice warming manner so as to speak. "Hello, you must be the Clockwork Droids?"
They stare into The Doctor's eyes, which he was trying his best not to intimidate them in a way that would not compromise his not dying relationship. The Droids return the look, though they didn't have any facial features… because they had no face. Unless you count their face as a face in which case they did have a face. Face. "Correct. We are the Clockwork Droids." The Doctor returned "I've met you before. Years ago. What are you doing here?" "We have come to bring peace to this never-ending hell." "Hell? What is?" "We have been trapped in this environment for two weeks. With our ship reaching zero in amounts of mass energy, we were lost." The Droid talking initiated some kind of button-pushing, which resulted in big giant windows opening. From where The Doctor, Clara, Mr Dews and The Droids were standing, they could see just what kind of environment they were trapped in. The same environment the house was pulled into- a stormy thundery sky that went on and on forever.
The Droid continued "We were able to sum up a limited amount of parts to create a crack in time that was able to pull in something from the outside world." The Doctor, who was getting emotionally affected by it, went on speaking "and so the portal waited. It waited outside, waiting for something to go through it. The house, the floating house." The Droids stood there, nodding at what The Doctor said, but then a change of pitch came about, as another Droid took a few steps closer and uttered "The right amount of parts has been found. The right amount of parts have been found. The right amount of parts has been found" repeatedly. Clara whispered to The Doctor, "and what does that mean?" The Doctor's facial expressions were big, bold and scared "we're the right amount of parts." Flashback to the body scenes in The Girl in The Fireplace. The Doctor yells out "run!" All three of them start running, as the Droids follow after them. "Arrrrrrraggghhhhhhh!" The Doctor screamed "don't shoot!" The Droids start firing out gun bullets. "What ever happened to the swords?" The Doctor and Clara make it to where they first arrived. Mr Dews yelps "How do we get back?" The Doctor sonics a control centre nearby and Flazzzzzzzzzssch!
The Doctor, Clara and Mr Dews had made way back to the lounge of the floating house. Mr Dews, who was taking huffing hard, "can they teleport here?" The Doctor replies "yes. But if I can stop the signal, I might be able to." Clara says "where's the signal?" The Doctor straightens his bowtie. "Onboard the ship. Clara stay." But Clara wouldn't stay "No, I'm coming." "No you can't come. If anything happens to you" "If anything happens to me, it's my fault" "No, it's really not. Look, Clara. Stay here with Mr Dews and the TARDIS. If anything happens to me and the Droids come aboard, then put this" The Doctor takes something out of his pocket and hands it over to Clara "onto the phone charger in the TARDIS. It'll take you home." Clara looks at The Doctor, who was getting his sonic screwdriver out of his breast-pocket, "Be safe." The Doctor whispers back "I'm always safe." Then after a green glow and a sonic noise, Flazzzzzzzzzssch!
