A.N- Hello and welcome to chapter 40! This chapter is not going to be anything adventurous or crazy, mostly just a plot used for character development. If you are craving adventure, don't worry, adventure always rears its head in a Doctor Who fic. I am going to try some different writing styles, so let me know how that goes. Enjoy the chapter and R&R!

Scarlet was sweating nervously. The hot windless air caused small droplets of sweat to form on her forehead. She tried to move her hand to wipe her forehead but she was too stiff to move. She was also tied to a pole, so close to the person next to her that she could feel their body heat colliding. She tilted her head, smelling lilacs along with the stench of sweat filling the room. Clara. Scarlet had no sonic blaster to get her out of this mess, thanks to the fact that dresses don't have pockets... or belt loops. She made a mental note to sew both of those to every article of clothing she owned... if she could sew. Scarlet sighed, what did she do to get herself into this mess.

Scarlet locked eyes with Dana, who was sitting across the garden talking to some other guests. She looked so old, even though she was probably only 27. Her creamy brown hair flew down and rested neatly on her shoulders, accented by a beautiful flowered pin. She wore sleeveless dress which started out black and went white as it reached the skirt. She walked over to her, Clara following quickly behind her.

"Scarlet Oswald, I'm the minister." She shook hands with Dana.

"Of course, I'm Dana, we talked on the phone." Dana had a warm smile covering her face.

"Shall I set up there?" Scarlet pointed to the white gazebo that rested at the end of the garden. It was covered in green and brown flowers.

"Yes, but first why don't you go inside and introduce yourself to the other bride, she's inside, her name is Lisa."

"Yeah, I'll get right to it." Scarlet exited the garden, making her way indoors. Clara found herself standing next to Scarlet, carrying her script in a small black folder.

"So just another domestic day?" Clara asked.

"I guess so, maybe the TARDIS was being nice, asking us to marry my old friend."

"So no aliens?"

"No aliens, I promise, now wait out here, let me talk to the other bride." Clara stopped in the doorway as Scarlet walking into the room full of women who were probably the bridesmaids. They were all wearing pale green or brown dresses, while one woman wore a long beautiful white dress. Scarlet got a good look at the woman. She was short and had a large frame, she had short black hair and brown eyes. Scarlet walked up and offered her hand.

"Hello, I'm Scarlet Oswald, I'll be preforming the wedding."

"Oh hello," The woman forced out a warm smile. She looked incredibly nervous.

"So you will be walking down the aisle?" Scarlet asked.

"Yes, um, I don't want to busy you, why don't you go set up."

"I'll get right to it ma'am." Scarlet scurried off, Clara back at her side. They exited to room and went to the gazebo.

"Now this, Clara Oswald, is your seat." Scarlet gestured to a seat in the back corner. "You will not move from this seat unless the ceremony is over, or some massive aliens attack."

"Only the massive ones?" Clara let out a giggle.

"Oh you know what I mean." Scarlet snatched to folder from Clara and made her way to the front. She stood in the gazebo, the center of attention to everyone at the ceremony. The music started.

Clara watched the beautiful ceremony unfold. Standing up in the center of attention, Scarlet had true power. The power of words. She made people tear up, sniffle, and rummage in their purses for tissues. Scarlet seemed surprised by her ability to speak in front of so many people, she must have been bad at it in her last regeneration. Although she was a Time Lord, Scarlet always looked so human. While she was marring someone or when she was grocery shopping...even when blaster the hell out of that bush. She made something as being an extra terrestrial, and made it seem like the most simple thing in the world. Maybe that's why Clara loved being around her so much.

Everything was going smoothly until the front row, Lisa's family, decided to sit up in the middle of the service. Scarlet noticed right away, and without trying to create any commotion, she gently motioned her hand in a way to ask them to sit back down. The family refused, nodding their heads no. What were they trying to accomplish? They started walking up towards to gazebo, which caused Scarlet to stop.

"Excuse me, the ceremony isn't done, could you please go back to your seats?" Scarlet asked nicely, but from knowing her, Clara knew she was pushing out the 'excuse me' and 'please' out with difficulty.

"Shut up Time Lord." One of the men said. Scarlet's eyes bulged, along with the other four members of the family who gave the man a good punch to the head. Clara started to stand up, but Scarlet looked like she was handling it just fine.

"Okay, where were we?" Scarlet started sweating. "Oh right, by the power-" The other man in the family ran between the two women and knocked Scarlet clean out. Everyone started panicking, Scarlet was down, Clara was the only one left to do anything. She got into the middle of the crowd.

"Everybody run!" She screamed. No one had any problem with her commands. They all ran out, except for Lisa and the group of four from her family, three men and a women. They all crowded around the knocked out Time Lord

"Brothers and sisters, it looks like we have caught ourselves a Time Lord." Lisa said with an evil grin.

"Oh, I know millions who will pay a hefty price for one of these." The man who knocked her out said.

"The Slitheen family will finally get the fortune they deserve!" The other woman shouted. They all reached for their foreheads.

"Hey you lot!" Clara screamed from behind them. They must have not noticed she was still there. They paused their un-zipping to look at the human. "You better put her down."

"Get her too, they might be working together." All Clara remembered after that was a man running after her and then a sudden blackness.

Clara woke up to see Scarlet tied right next to her...to a pole.

"A pole, really?" Clara asked.

"Oh good Clara, you're awake. Can you tell me what happened?"

"Some aliens knocked you out and were planning on selling you."

"Do you know what kind of alien?"

"They said something about Slitheen-"

"Raxicoricofallipatorians!"

"What?"

"The Slitheen are a corrupt family from Raxicoricofallipatoria, hence forth, their specie name is Raxicoricofallipatorian."

"Raxicorico..." Clara started.

"fallipatorian." Scarlet finished.

"Raxicoricofallipatorian?"

"Yes exactly. They think they will get a hefty profit for selling me. Most species think that The Doctor is dead, so anyone would pay for the last Time Lord."

"So no sonic blaster, no screwdriver, how do we get out of here?"

"I have no idea."

A.N- Just wanted to make this to tell you how EVIL I am. I mean, first I lied, then I posted 7 hours later then I was supposed to, THEN I left you on a cliffhanger. I know, I know, you all can't contain how awful I am, but you can still review:)
