AN: I'm going to be completely honest with you, I have no idea where this came from XD. I just randomly felt like making a quick scene with the Doctor and Clara just being…well…adorable idiots.
The Lazy Library
"Ah ha!" The Doctor suddenly yelled from his work area.
Clara, not really expecting it as she had been reading one of the books she collected, yelped out a small shock and dropped the book out of her hands to the floor. She couldn't really remember what it was about. Something to do with newlyweds losing their infant child or something. I don't know. Clara shrugged mentally. I kind of got lost on page one. "Doctor." Clara called, moving out of her little cubby area in the library to a desk, where the Doctor had shot up from.
"I've done it!" He exclaimed with glee, quickly pocketing his "Brain Specs". Carefully grasping something on the desk, he turned around, showing off his newest creation like some mad, childish scientist. What it was made Clara both swoon in awe and blink repeatedly in bewilderment. It was a squirrel, chittering and scratching away, made completely out of mechanics and metal. Yet it ran on clocks. A clockwork squirrel, its own heart ticking away as it stared around in curiosity before darting out of the Doctor's grasp and pouncing around the room, its metal feet pattering away, twitching its nose at the multitude of books. Then, it darted up a nearby bookshelf and with surprising care, it grasped a novel and took it out, placing it on a nearby desk and opened it, starting to read. "Okay, I wasn't expecting that." The Doctor muttered as he and Clara walked over. The squirrel chirped to them, almost like it was proud of its findings before it returned to its reading. The Doctor took the front part of the book and lifted it to see the title. ""The House with a Clock in its"-" He was cut off when the squirrel snarled at him and he breathed out, letting go off the book, which made the squirrel chirp again and it returned to reading. "Sorry." He grumbled.
"Doctor, how did you make…" Clara let it trail off as she turned to gaze at the desk, which was strewn with the remains of…a radio. "Doctor." She groaned. "You could've used something else to make that instead of the radio."
"Well, I couldn't find anything that would fit!" He whined.
"And…why a clockwork squirrel?" She asked.
He blinked at that. "Well, I, umm…uh…"
Clara giggled, just resorting to shaking her head. "Anyway, if you're bored, there is something else to occupy your time."
His eyebrows raised. "Oh really? What's that?" She simply cocked one of her own, but he blinked again. "I'm still not getting it."
She just grasped his tie and proceeded to tug him out of the room.
A Few Minutes Later…
Sitting on a sofa inside their own private living room, the Doctor lay on his side, his left elbow propped up while Clara lay beside him, her own head by his elbow as the pair gazed at the TV and their newfound game.
"Hello, good hunter." A female voice of a porcelain doll girl said in a pale dreamlike world.
"Hello." They said in unison.
"I am a doll."
"We know."
"Here in this dream to look after you."
"Tad bit creepy." The Doctor commented as he wrung both arms around Clara.
"Honourable hunter, pursue the echoes of blood, and I will channel them into your strength."
"Why did they make the bonfires so…pale?" Clara asked.
"Why are they so obsessed with blood?" The Doctor retorted, and Clara bit her lip to fight back a smile. However, the Doctor noticed. "You smiled."
"Nope."
"Clara don't hold back those smiles for me." He warned playfully.
"Nope." She retorted.
He smirked, sliding a hand down to her hips and started tickling her. "Clara." He purred, and Clara squealed, relenting with a beaming smile as he stopped. "There you go." He said, placing a kiss on her cheek, which just made her draw closer to him.
"Please don't do that." She whispered.
"What?" He asked innocently, and started tickling her sides again, which made her shriek. "Clara, you've got to tell me."
"No!" She squealed.
"Clara." He purred again, rolling just enough to be right over her and pausing his assault. "You've got to say it."
"No." She said playfully, wagging her eyebrows.
"Clara-"
"Doctor," She interrupted with a warm smile, "just kiss me, you bastard."
He grinned wolfishly at her. "Yes boss." Before he did, he took out his "Brainy Specs" and put them back on, to Clara's amusement.
"Doctor." Clara whispered with an adoring look in her eyes.
"Not my fault you like it." He winked, drawing in close as she giggled again and kissed her deeply, running a hand up to cup her face and stroke her hair. "We just left another game alone…again." He said as Clara took off his tie, and put it around her own neck, earning a devilish glare from the Doctor.
"We'll get back to it later." She whispered, tugging him back down to resume their kissing. The TARDIS did them a favour and locked the doors, sound proofing the room. "Show-off." Clara whispered out into the room, the Doctor smiling with her before they continued again, now with no interruptions.
AN: Well, that was fun. I may do more of these in the future, but I just need to figure out ideas that would work and, obviously, when. Anyway, just a quick request answer for "Daises1005118", since you wanted to know the timeline dude/dudette. All I've done is taken some of the Season 7 episodes, specifically most of the Clara episodes, and jumbled them up so Clara can meet the Doctor during his 9th incarnation. (Okay, it's technically his 10th but you get what I mean.) Basically…
Prologue: Scene from "The Name of the Doctor" where 1st Doctor meets Gallifreyan Clara, just extended. Obviously.
Asylum of the Daleks: Swapped out Amy and Rory, the 11th Doctor for the War Doctor and set it right before, for War's perspective, "The Day of the Doctor".
The Snowmen: Instead of 11 grieving for Amy and Rory, it's 9 post Time War but before he meets Rose.
The Bells of Saint John – Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS: 9's first adventures with Clara.
Rose – The Long Game: 9 and Clara meet Rose and start the Series 1 adventures.
Listen: Swapped out 12 for 9, changed Orson to Alternate Danny, threw in Rose, and threw out the Danny dating stuff, since Danny in this fic is dead and for Clara is pre-Doctor, just like Angie and Artie. Well…they aren't dead, they are pre-Doctor and have no relevance to this story.
Father's Day – The Doctor Dances: Rose gets the courage to see Pete after Clara told the story of how Danny died. Of course, we all know how that turned out. Then they go back to meet Captain Jack during the London Blitz.
Nightmare in Silver: 11, once again, swapped out for 9, Angie and Artie "Technically" swapped out with Rose and Jack. Clara and the Doctor swap places for the "Cyber" personality.
Last Christmas: Santa pretty much smacks 9 and Clara on the head and makes them "Dance" FINALLY. (Seriously, that was so reliving for me to write. :))
The Crimson Horror: Rose and Jack meet the Paternoster Gang after 9 and Clara quite literally fail their "Actual" first date.
Boom Town: TARDIS gang, with Mickey, meet Margaret/Blon Fel Fotch again.
Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways: The last adventure, also Clara's last, with 9, where he becomes 10 after saving Rose from being "Bad Wolf".
The Christmas Invasion: 10 is in the "Doctor Sleep" and needs to nap. Clara's got a rare issue of "Immortality Migraine", leaving Rose, Mickey, and Jackie to fend for themselves. Later, the Doctor and Clara have their first proper talk, and everything ends up being okay. Ish.
New Earth/Tooth and Claw: Clara and Rose have their first adventure with 10. If it isn't obvious by now, Rose won't fall in love with either of them, just remain purely friends.
Attack of the Graske: 10 gives Clara her first sonic and is immediately visited by a "Mwhahahaha"ing Cyber Clara, who gives her the "Good News?".
School Reunion: TARDIS group meet Sarah Jane, Mickey properly joins up, they stop Mr. Finch and the bat people, Clara reveals the news, the Doctor comforts her and by the end everyone's all good.
The Girl in the Fireplace: 10 and Clara meet Reinette aka Madame De Pompadour, whose relationship with them kind of acts as a test run for everyone's favourite big haired time traveling archaeologist with a gun. Since Reinette has known them for her whole life, she falls in love with the TARDIS pair. However, since they only know her for a day, they get the equivalent of an intense crush on her, which ends when they come back after she had died.
This one-shot. Just two besotted idiots doing their own hobbies.
Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel: The TARDIS gang fall into an alternate reality where Pete Tyler is still alive, and an old, dying man, who is pretty much insane, is creating that reality first Cybermen.
I won't reveal anymore past this for the sake of spoilers, but hopefully you get the timeline. The jumbled 11 adventures instead have 9 pre-Rose, which lead into Rose and then into 10's adventures, with a few extra goodies along the way. Now, I can promise you that in a week's time, you'll get "Rise of the Cybermen". I just need to finish the 2nd half of the episode. XD Hope you guys/gals enjoyed and do say if you want to see more of these goodie, flavoury nuggets later.
