Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who nor do I own this episode. This is just what I thought should have happened once I found out Clara had lived and died to save the Doctor many times. Most of this is from the transcript which I found online. I am just trying to write what I thought would happen, not trying to steal anything.

"You took her from her home," the Doctor shouts, his voice angry but his eyes alight with passion. "But now she's back in the box again and she's free!" Oswald can feel the energy swirling throughout the ship, seeking out any piece of House that she can.

The energy streams throughout the room, changing the green light to golden.

"No! Doctor, stop this!" Oswald growls within her mainframe, pulling at each particle of House that she can, pulling him apart piece by piece. "OW! Stop this now!"

"Oh, look at my girl, look at her go!" Oswald shudders to her very core at his words and they make her stronger. She expands through the corridors, digging deep. Past the room of Bad Wolf, past the Library, past the Doctor's own room, the only permanent, can't be removed, rooms. "Bigger on the inside! You see, House?"

"Make it stop!" House cries inside and out, trying to fight Oswald off, warding off gold with green. But gold is a beautiful strong color and Oswald pushes him back, packing him into a tiny, painful ball of green energy.

"That's your problem," the Doctor raises both his hands at the fading green of the ship, knowing his girl is in there fighting off the demon within her walls. "Size of a planet, but inside you're just so small!"

"Make it stop!" he cries from the tiny ball, his voice now louder than his actions. She watches as the form of a tiny man runs from her small yet powerful hands, her eyes bright and gold as she chases him toward the entrance of her mainframe.

"Finish him off, girl," the Doctor smiles yet there is sadness inside him he can feel.

Oswald rushes at the small man and shatters him with one swift kick. The green scatters to all the corners of the universe, never to come together again. She beams and wipes her hands on the bottom of her dress, which is now a beautiful golden color with small bits of blue every few inches of fabric. Her eyes are golden and her hair sparkled. But before she goes back into her temporal casing, she has one more thing to say.

Oswald projects a hologram of herself onto the stairs of the TARDIS. Her dress is no longer ripped, but golden and it shines brightly within the dim light of the console room. She has yet to fully reinstall herself so there is still darkness within her.

"Doctor, are you there?" She looks around for him, only to see him walk over to her from behind the central console. "It's so very dark in here."

"I'm here," the Doctor whispers, his eyes full of unshed tears.

"I've been looking for a word," she tells him, reminding him of what she'd told him before. "A big, complicated word, but so sad." She reaches out and touches his hand. "I've found it now."

"What word?" her Thief asks, his voice cracking.

"Alive," she whispers the word, a tear sliding down her cheek. "I'm alive."

"Alive isn't sad," the Doctor argues with a sad smile.

"It's sad when it's over," Oswald smiles right back at him, his own sadness mirrored on her face. "I'll always be here, but this is when we talked, and now even that has come to an end." She sniffles and her voice wavers before it becomes strong again. "There's something I didn't get to say to you."

"Goodbye?" A tear slides down her Thief's cheek.

"No," Oswald chuckles, a watery smile on her face. "I just wanted to say hello." Oswald is full on beaming although tears are sliding down her cheek. "Hello, Doctor. It's so very, very nice to meet you."

"Please," the Doctor chokes on his words. "I don't want you to. Please."

"We shall meet again, my Thief," Oswald cups his cheek, rising on her tiptoes to look deeply into his bright grass green eyes. "After loss and sorrow there will be a girl who will do the impossible." She presses a soft kiss to the Doctor's lips, letting the warmth that is inside her linger for a few more moments.

"Run," she speaks, her eyes blurry for a moment, "run you clever boy." She's still cupping his cheeks as she slowly dematerializes. Her last few words are like a whisper on the wind. "And remember me…"

"Where?" the Doctor chokes on his tears before he wipes them away. He realizes that she's told him something crucial. He will see her again. An impossible girl would lead him back to the woman who became his TARDIS.

The Doctor tinkers with the TARDIS, putting more protection inside the mainframe that will keep her from being ripped from her home again. Amy and Rory speak to him for a time about a new room without bunk beds— "why wouldn't you want bunk beds. It's a bed…with a ladder"— but he gives in and gives them what they want. He stays down in his swing under the console and smiles sadly. The Doctor wipes down the metal of the console and sniffs proudly at his work.

"Are you there? Can you hear me?" He pauses, waiting for an answer that will never come. "Oh, I'm a silly old…" He chuckled. "Okay. The Eye of Orion, or wherever we need to go."

Oswald, still buried inside the console behind the walls and walls of protection, chuckles as well, a hinge smile on her face as she flicks a lever with a wave of her hand.

She watches her Thief with gold in her eyes as he dances around the console room, throwing in the towel and doing his little jig. "Ha ha!" He punches the air. "Whoo hoo."

And deep down, Oswald knows that a girl will come along. An impossibility she created when she was Bad Wolf. A girl born to save the Doctor with her face and her charm and her bravery. But she is jealous that this girl with her face will be able to hug and kiss and make love to the Doctor. She will wear her face and fall in love with the man that needs the most love in the universe.

And she hates Clara Oswald for that.

Last chapter! So guys, you need to vote! So far there is a tie. If someone doesn't break it, I'm either going to pick between the three or have another pole for that one. Please review and tell me what you thought of the story as well. I loved writing this and I hope everyone liked reading it. And in each of the stories, right before the echo fades, she will somehow remember Clara Oswald, the original. But all the echoes feelings will be different. ;D

EDIT: I have posted the first chapter of Human Nature/Family of Blood. Please go check it out.
