In Which Clara and The Doctor Picnic
The Doctor hadn't actually known that the day he had chosen to take Clara on a lovely, peaceful date to the Darshenki empire on Crudello that it would be, at exactly forty seven minutes after their arrival, be thrown into complete disarray by the murder of the inquisitor. Nor did he know that, at exactly fifty three minutes after their arrival, would the only registered new comers to the planet be blamed for the aforementioned assassination of the ruler. So it was completely not his intention for their peaceful picnic by the Waterfalls of Systerio, which was a cliff made completely of clear emerald, would be interrupted by a fairly large automated security service, causing the duo to have to run for their lives back to the TARDIS.
Clara Oswald was not happy with The Doctor, and she had deemed to show that to him by standing rather imposingly with her hands on her hips. Within her hair lay several large twigs, her dress was ripped in multiple locations and she had lost one of her flats. The Doctor was, quite appropriately, terrified.
"Completely safe you said," Clara growled, taking a step toward the man.
"Well it was," The Doctor responded meekly.
"Not a thing that could possibly go wrong you said," Clara continued, raising a finger at him when he opened his mouth to make another snarky response. "'A nice peaceful picnic for my favorite human', your exact words those are. So, Doctor, what happened?"
The Doctor lowered his head, his bottom lip quivering slightly, he had in all honesty tried to make it perfect for her. "I may have made a slight error in the timing of us getting here," The Doctor mumbled, his inner feelings very clearly portrayed by his voice.
Before he knew it, two small arms had been wrapped around him and a kiss had been placed on his cheek by a tip-toeing Clara. "Better luck next time, eh Doctor?" The girl grinned, and the Doctor couldn't help but grin back.
AN: Just to point out. These little pieces ARE all set in the same universe, but the continuity may be a bit wibbly. I'll try to make it obvious where each one fits chronologically. It will be rare if there is a story arc that takes longer to do than a short chapter in these early stages, but no doubt my mind will start to run away with me eventually. Hope you enjoy the fluff though!
