I don't own anything from Doctor Who, and I hope you enjoy!
The Doctor rushed through the door, and hoped it went to the right place. He smiled when he saw that a familiar house sat in front of him, and he wondered how he should enter this time. Every time he comes he makes sure he has a grand entrance. He decided the kitchen window would do today. He was about to enter it when something caught his eye. Clara was there, but she was with another man. They were... The Doctor had to look away.
He was hurt that she had moved on so fast. Well, to him it was only a few minutes, but to her it was a full week. They were only kissing, but it still hurt. He decided what better entrance than to interrupt their kissing. He put on a cheery face and tapped on the kitchen window. He waved when Clara moved away from the man and stared at the window. She was expecting him to knock on the door, but he always was a bit weird.
She opened the window and he said, "Hello Clara! How are you doing today? Who's this fellow?"
She hoped he hadn't seen them snogging, but she could tell by the way he was being super cheery that he had. He was always cheery, but she could tell when he over did it to hide what he was truly feeling. She smiled and said, "This is Timmy."
The Doctor extended his hand and said, "Hello Timmy. I'm The Doctor!"
Timmy frowned and said, "Oh, I've heard quite a lot about you. Nice to meet you."
The Doctor stopped smiling and said, "I suppose so. Clara, you do realize it's Wednesday, don't you?" She nodded. "Well, you don't want to bring him along do you? You know what happened last time we brought someone else along."
She nodded and said, "Yeah, that was not a good idea. No, I wasn't planning on bringing him along. I was hoping he would stay and watch Angie and Artie."
The Doctor smiled and said, "Ah, Angie and Artie! Where are the two scoundrels?" He didn't want to spend much time with this Tommy character any longer.
Clara said, "The living room. If you don't mind, Tommy and I are going to have a short chat." He nodded and headed to the living room. "So, can you watch the kids?" She asked softly.
Tommy frowned and asked, "Where are you two going?"
She shrugged and said, "Um, just to hang out. Nothing more, I promise." She had a slight twinge of fear in her voice, and Tommy smiled.
He said, "Are you sure? I have heard quite a bit about The Doctor from the kids. They say he's more than a friend." His smile was gone.
She shook her head quickly and said, "No, not at all. I promise." She started walking away, but Tommy jerked her back.
"Are you sure?" His eyes were cold.
She grimaced as he twisted her arm, and she said, "Yes, I promise Tommy. There is nothing going on between me and The Doctor. If you want proof then you can ask Mr. Maitland." He nodded and let her go. She rubbed her arm before covering up the many bruises on it.
The Doctor was in the living room sitting with the kids. "So, who's Tommy?" He asked.
Angie shrugged and said, "Some stupid guy that Clara met at a café. Don't you think it's stupid that she just went out with this random guy that she knows nothing about?" He would've agreed, until he remembered that's exactly what she had done with him. He appeared in front of her house with a blue box and asked her to travel time and space with him. She didn't know a thing about him, but she still came.
He sighed and asked, "Do you have any more information on him? Where does he work? Is he mean? Is he stronger than me?" The last one slipped out on accident.
Angie smiled and Artie studied The Doctor's arm. "Well, from what I can tell, yeah." Artie said. The Doctor frowned and started flexing.
Angie smirked and said, "You're jealous!" He shook his head frantically, and then Clara walked in.
He smiled at her and asked, "Are you ready?" She nodded and he reached for her hand. When she didn't take it he frowned, and then he saw Tommy walk in from the kitchen. He nodded and started walking towards the door. "It was nice seeing you two again! Tommy."
Clara stopped before she got outside and said, "I'll be back later. Tommy is going to take great care of you!"
They nodded and she followed The Doctor. She entered the TARDIS to find him already at the console. She smiled. She had missed this. She walked over and leaned next to him. "So, where are we going, chin boy?" She asked.
He frowned and said, "Don't call me chin boy! We're going to stop Big Daddy, remember?" She frowned in confusion. "The gigantic worm that is under the earth's crust that has an appetite for humans?"
She nodded in understanding and asked, "Couldn't you have done that after you dropped me off?"
He pretended to be paying a large amount of attention on the console as he said, "I suppose I could've."
She smiled as she said, "But you decided to wait for me. You wanted to save the world with me!" She felt a warm feeling in her heart.
He frowned and said, "Maybe. That's not the point! We need to stop it!" Clara smirked as she heard the sound she was oh so familiar with. She had missed that sound too. She instinctively braced onto the railing as the TARDIS started shaking. Oh, how she missed this! It had only been a week, but she missed all of this so much!
The Doctor opened the doors, and they were by that big hole again. A rush of memories flowed through Clara, and she had to hold back tears. The Doctor ran back and grabbed two harnesses and a rope. Two harness, not one. She looked at them and asked, "Why are we going back to this one?"
He pulled out his sonic and said, "There are signs of him being down there right now. He must be checking on his children, seeing how much they've developed." They both looked at the hole as they realized what could be waiting down there for them. Clara instinctively grabbed his hand, and he didn't pull away. They slowly walked to the hole, and then he let go. She didn't want him to, but she knew they had to climb down.
They made their slow decent, until they heard a rumbling. They stopped and looked down. When they didn't see anything they continued. Once they reached a point where they could walk, they quickly took off their harnesses. They heard the rumbling again, and The Doctor pulled out his sonic. Clara asked, "What's that noise?"
He frowned as he looked at the sonic. "I'm afraid that Big Daddy isn't alone." They held hands as they walked forward. They came across the area that had all of the worms in it, but now they weren't babies. They were about the size of a dog, and in front of them were two mammoth sized worms. "Well, this is going to be complicated." At the sound of his voice all of the worms turned to them. "Now we know what the rumbling noise was." Clara nodded and gulped. The worms all had razor sharp teeth.
She squeezed his hand as she asked, "Doctor, how in the world are we supposed to get across this room, to Big Daddy and Big Momma, and scan them without getting eaten?"
He squeezed back and said, "I have no idea. I guess now would be a good time for a plan to pop up in my head. Go ahead plan, pop up." After a few moments he said, "Nope, still nothing. Here's an idea. Leg it!" He pulled her along as he ran straight through the worms. They were all mushy, and they whelped as he accidently stepped on a few. He already had his sonic out by the time they reached the big worms, and he scanned them quickly before he pulled Clara back to where they started from. He stopped when he heard her yell, "Get off me ya lousy worm!" One of the worms was chewing on her boot. The Doctor kicked it off, but all of the other worms were already attacking. He used the sonic to scare them off, but they were closing in fast. "Um, Doctor, this isn't good is it?"
"Nope, definitely not. But you know what? I have a plan!" He suddenly switched some settings on the sonic and buzzed it all around. The worms stopped advancing, and The Doctor said, "Ah ha! I did it!"
Clara smiled and asked, "So we're safe?"
"For now, yes, but in about thirty seconds, no." He said. He pulled her along as he raced to the other side of the room. He reached for the harnesses, and they hurriedly put them on. Then they quickly climbed up before the worms could follow them. When they reached the top Clara collapsed onto The Doctor. She put her head on his chest, and he could feel his hearts beating quickly. He awkwardly put his hands on her back as he asked, "Clara, what are you doing?"
She closed her eyes and said, "Resting. You can't expect me to go doing stuff like that and not be out of breath." He nodded. She was still human. They lay there like that for a few more minutes, until Clara got u and said, "Right, let's go send those worms back where they came from!" She stood up and started walking to the TARDIS.
The Doctor frowned at the sudden change, and then he followed her. He pulled out his sonic and looked at the scan results. "Apparently, they are from a planet called Lumbricina Star. Most of the race was wiped out in a war between the daleks. I know how they feel."
He had that look in his eye again, but Clara walked up and grabbed his hand. "So, how do we get them back?"
He smiled and said, "Clara, this is a TARDIS. It can easily find their entire race that is on this planet and teleport them to Lumbricina Star. I thought you've been traveling with me for long enough to know that the TARDIS can do just about anything!"
She smiled and said, "Good then. Let's take Big Daddy and Big Momma home!" They just stood there and stared into each other's eyes for a second, until The Doctor turned to the console and started flipping levers and switches. She had to catch her breath, and then she smiled even wider. She was with someone that wouldn't even think of harming her. He wouldn't ever lay a hand on her, but she pushed him away. The smile was gone. She pushed him away for a reason, and that's the same reason that she's still with Tommy. The pain she endures being with him would be nothing compared to the pain of loving The Doctor, but losing him.
I hope you enjoyed, and please review to tell me what to think!
