A.N- Hey guys! How is life treating you? I haven't got a review in a bit so I think I may be annoying you guys about it too much. I'm sorry if I am, please forgive me :'(. Anyways, here's another chapter, I hope you enjoy it, R&R!
Nothing really interesting happened to Clara after she had been dropped off, those things usually happen with The Doctor. When Angie and Artie saw that she stepped out of the TARDIS, they pestered her to see where she had went.
"So where did you go today? Somewhere amazing?" Artie asked.
"How about I tell you when you finish your homework," Clara said smiling.
"Come on, don't be stupid, just tell us." Angie groaned, "Not like I really care."
"Fine, but let's go inside." Clara escorted them back inside and told them of the adventures she had gone on. She told them about the new girl, the beach and the party. Artie thought the beach was cooler, but Angie had a different opinion."
"How was the party?" Angie asked.
"I told you about a beach full of Cybermen and you care more about a sweet sixteen?"
"Yes, I wish you took me to one when The Doctor took us on a trip." Coming from outside, the three of them heard the TARDIS materializing in the front lawn. That was fast, Clara thought.
"There back! Can we please meet Scarlet?" Artie asked politely.
"Wait here." Clara went out the door leaving the children inside. She walked up to the TARDIS and opened the door. The door wouldn't budge for a second, you stupid cow, but it eventually opened, letting Clara inside.
"You said you weren't coming back till Wednesday." Clara stated, looking at The Doctor.
"It's not Wednesday! Dang it!" He shouted.
"Does he always get his timing wrong?" Scarlet asked, snickering.
"Yeah, most of the time," Clara answered. "Oh and Scarlet, the kids wanted to meet you."
"You have kids?"
"Yes, well...no their not mine, I'm their nanny."
"Yes, Scarlet why don't you pop in and say hi, I have to talk to Clara alone." The Doctor said.
"Sure, their names are..."
"Angie and Artie." Clara answered.
"Okay, be right back." Scarlet walked out and closed the doors of the TARDIS.
"Doctor, what's wrong? Did something happen while I was gone?" Clara asked.
"No, but we never finished our research in the library!"
"How are we gonna find out who her parents are from the library?" Clara asked.
"I don't know there has to be something." The Doctor said impatiently.
"Oh, I see, you just don't like not knowing! Just like with me!" Clara yelled.
"You're right, I don't like not knowing!" The TARDIS started to shake.
"Great, we're gonna take off again, who knows where she'll take us this time!" Clara yelled, kicking the side of the TARDIS. They heard the groaning noise of the takeoff, and they were off, to who knows where.
Scarlet walked into the Maitland's house. She used to not be good at introductions, but she was feeling confident. She walked into the kitchen where they were both sitting, eating lunch. She sat down in one of the chairs and put on a friendly smile.
"Hi there." She said trying to be friendly to these kids.
"Hello," The boy said. "Are you an alien?" He asked as though it was completely normal.
"I've guess you've met The Doctor then?" Scarlet laughed.
"You're American." Angie stated.
"Yeah, do you have a problem with that?"
"No."
"If you were an alien, that would be totally awesome!" Artie continued, ignoring Angie's rude remark. Before she could answer, she heard the wheezing of the TARDIS. She ran outside, but it was already gone. They had left her there, all one her own. Angie and Artie ran outside standing behind Scarlet.
"I guess that means you're our new nanny." Angie said, crossing her arms.
When the TARDIS had landed, Clara and The Doctor let out a sigh of relief.
"Should we check to see where we landed?" asked The Doctor.
"What's the point? We have to go back and get Scarlet anyways."
"I guess your right, but let's just check where we are." The Doctor walked over to his monitor. "December 25th, 3099, doesn't that sound interesting?" Clara gave him a death stare.
"But, Clara," The Doctor whined, "We have a time machine, we can explore for a whole year and then pick her up seconds after we left."
"Yes Doctor, but would that be the right thing to do?" Clara asked him.
"I guess not." He pouted. "But how are we gonna find out who her parents are?"
"Why can't you just live with not knowing, why can't you be happy that there's another Time Lord around?"
"Because Clara, that's not the kind of person I am."
"Come on Doctor, let's get back to Scarlet." The Doctor pushed some buttons and they were off again. Although The Doctor planned for them to land seconds after they had accidentally left, when they walked out the TARDIS doors, it was hours later.
"So what does Clara usually make you guys do when she watches you?" Scarlet asked, having no experience with children.
"Well usually we finish our homework for tomorrow and then we watch the tele."
"That sounds incredibly boring, why don't we do something fun?"
"Like what?" Angie asked, her words full of attitude.
"I don't know, do you have any ice cream shops around here?"
"Yes, do you have any money?" Angie asked. Scarlet patted her pockets, in one of her front ones, she felt something. She pulled some coins out of her pocket, they were the extra from when Jack sent her on a tea run.
"Uhh, is this used in the 21st century?" Scarlet asked, handing Artie the futuristic coins. He examined them deeply.
"They're close enough." He concluded, handing them back.
"Do you even know how to drive?" Angie said as they walked out the door. Apparently their father was out with some mates and they carpooled, leaving George's car still in the lot.
"I can manage." Scarlet said. She put both the kids in the back seat, for safety, and then sat behind the wheel. She took a deep breath and started the car. She actually didn't do as bad as she thought. She's seen her mother drive millions of times. When they reached the shop, she smiled at her achievement, I mean, she only ran a couple of signs and went on the wrong side of the road a bit, but she's American, what could she do. Although Scarlet was smiling, Angie and Artie where screaming.
"Shush, people are gonna think I'm a kidnapper!" The kids quieted down. They stepped out of the car and went into the shop. Apparently, since she didn't know British currency, Jack had given her a lot of money. She handed it to the kids and told them to buy whatever they liked. If their was something wrong with the money, the teenage cashier who clearly didn't want to be there didn't notice. When the kids came back to the table, they each had large sundaes, and still had extra change. Angie's was a chocolate sundae and Artie's was strawberry. Scarlet took the extra change and got herself a small cup with vanilla in it. Hopefully I like it, she thought.
Although she did not like vanilla as much as she used to, Scarlet still had a taste for it, and finished her ice cream without complaints. Eventually the kids finished their ice creams, the sugar making them very energetic.
"So you never answered my question, are you an alien?" Artie asked.
"Don't tell anyone, but yes." Scarlet whispered.
"But what kind?" Angie asked, "Not like I care."
"The same as The Doctor."
"Can you shoot lasers out of you eyes or something cool like that?" Artie asked, bouncing up and down from his sugar rush.
"Not that I know of," She thought a little, "Actually, I have no idea."
"Can we go home now, just sitting here is stupid." Angie said.
"Yeah, I guess. Come on now." They all walked back to the car and started driving again.
"Wrong side, WRONG SIDE!" Angie screamed as Scarlet turned the corner, now making sure she was on the right side of the road. She wiped a little sweat of her forehead.
"See guys, I can do this, I can get my license already. Scarlet smiled trying to lighten the mood. She managed to get them home, the car and the children all in one piece. After all that ice cream and the rocky driving, they looked like they were about to blow.
"I'm going to my room, I guess I'll do my homework while I'm up there." Angie started walking up the stairs.
"Me too." Artie followed. Scarlet smiled, that wasn't her plan, but Clara will be happy to know that they had gotten their homework done. She jumped onto the sofa and turned on the T.V, relaxing until The Doctor and Clara came back, if they did.
But sure enough, a couple hours later, she heard the TARDIS materializing. She ran outside, into the TARDIS and gave The Doctor a big slap on the cheek.
"How could you leave me! With children!" Scarlet yelled.
"Ow! and the TARDIS malfunctioned again, it wasn't our fault!" The Doctor said, clearly in pain.
"Yeah and when we landed we went right back here to get you, Chinny over here just miscalculated. Clara said pointing to The Doctor.
"Okay, I'm sorry." Scarlet apologized.
"So how did you occupy the children?" Clara asked.
"Let's just say, they may not go to school tomorrow."
Clara had decided to stay, wanting to postpone dealing with sick children as much as she could. She was asleep in bed, and so was The Doctor, who hadn't slept since they picked up Scarlet a few days ago. While The Doctor was sleeping, he dreamt of Sexy, in woman form.
"Sexy, will you help me find out who Scarlet's parents are?" The Doctor asked.
"Oh, but Doctor, I have. I left a clue in the console room. Go and find it." The Doctor woke up, jumped out of bed and ran to the console room. When he got there, he saw Scarlet in her now usual spot, sleeping. He also saw his monitor blinking. He walked over to it and read what it said. It had a list of everywhere they had gone since they picked up Scarlet, From Space Florida to The Maitland's house. How this was a clue, he didn't know.
At his feet, he heard a moaning noise.
"Doctor, what are you doing in my room?"
"This is not your room, this is the control room, a public place where anyone can be."
"Doctor I had to ask you a question," Scarlet said, getting into a sitting position, "What can a Time Lord do?"
"You mean other than cheat death and turn into a completely different person?"
"Yeah." Scarlet answered drowsily.
"Well, we can heal ourselves by taking years off of our lives, and we also can use touch telepathy." He sat down next to her.
"What's touch telepathy?" She asked.
"It's like when I hit you on the head and you knew everything about my life, we transferred thoughts through touch."
"That's cool."
"Yeah, now go back to sleep." The Doctor said.
"I don't think that's gonna happen, sleeping is a once per night thing for me." She said angrily.
"Well it's only 1 a.m., good luck finding something to do." The Doctor stood up and went back to his bedroom, thinking about how the places they have gone to could help them find out who Scarlet's parents were.
