Chapter 2: A Normal Life

They took the TARDIS to a planet trillions of light years away from Earth. The Doctor, Clara, and Danny were in the TARDIS, trying to explain everything about time travel and how Clara has been traveling with him. Clara looked at The Doctor and said,"You okay, Doctor? Something seems wrong."

"Yeah I'm fine its just that Sergeant over here can't do anything right!" The Doctor said.

"How do you mean?"

"I mean that he's a soldier, and he doesn't know right from wrong!"

Clara stared at him with a weird look, wondering what The Doctor could be talking about.

"Yeah hello, I'm still here!" Danny said from across the console room. He was looking at some books that The Doctor owned. One of them in particular got his attention, it was titled Life From the Beginning. Danny knew this book, it was what he read back when he was a soldier. He picked it up from off the shelf, looked at it sadly and put it back.

"Take me home." Danny demanded.

"Sir, yes, sir!" The Doctor said. He looked confused but Clara could tell by the tone of his voice that he was pleased.

"I want to go home now." Danny said, almost yelling at The Doctor.

"Oh, is this too much for soldier boy over here?" The Doctor said, intending to make fun of Danny.

"Too much? For your information, Doctor, I was a Sergeant back home, and this...this is nothing compared to that. So how 'bout this, if you take me home now, I won't bother you anymore. Danny free." Danny said.

The Doctor liked the sound of that.

"Danny, don't be like that!" Clara complained.

"What?" Danny said.

"Danny, why would you want to go home? Clara asked

"Clara please, I just want to live my life." Images flashed in Danny's mind. He saw his war days back when he was a sergeant. That damn book book, he thought. He saw the day he gat that book and hiw much he despised that day. That was the day he did it. Oh Braveheart, I'm so sorry. Braveheart, as Danny called her, was a girl in her late teens Danny met on his first day as a sergeant . She lived in Liberia and ehr real name was Ellis Raz. Ellis was the one that gave Danny that book. She says she got it from a trip to Britain. The very same day, Danny's squad was attacked while she was still with him. Ellis wanted to run away and hide but Danny wouldn't let her, he wanted to keep her safe right then and there. But it didn't work. He always blamed himself after that. It wasn't his fault, he was just trying to help.

A tear dripped down his face.

"Okay then, I'm going with you." Clara replied.

The Doctor looked at them with dissapointment. He then realised something. "You can't leave." He said.

"I'm sorry? I thought you were the one who wanted me gone in the first place." Danny said.

The Doctor pulled the lever on the console. The TARDIS made its usual wheezing sound it makes as it landed.

"Where are we?" Clara asked.

"Doesn't matter, go and open the doors." A smirk crept upon his face. "I double dare ya," The Doctor said in a very sarcastic little kid tone. Clara went over to the doors and pulled them. Nothing happened, they wouldn't open. She tried again, harder this time but they wouldn't budge.

Then, The Doctor said,"The TARDIS locked us in."
