Clara cracked her fingers as she sat down, taking in the view of her newly carved pumpkin, while taking a sip of her hot chocolate. She smirked at the advantage she had, her pumpkin wasn't blue anymore, but a deep shade of purple. Her pumpkin was able to slowly change colors, and she was excited to see what color was next. She had wanted to surprise the Doctor, so she carved the TARDIS into the pumpkin, and all she needed was a small blue light to put inside. As Clara relaxed from her hard work, she heard the sound of the TARDIS, materializing in her living room. Clara groaned as she looked at her watch. It's too early, she thought.

"Clara! Are you ready for the demise of your pumpkin?" Clara heard the Doctor call for her, and she rolled her eyes. Clara knew the doctor was probably right, he probably did get carving lessons, but a multi colored pumpkin, with a TARDIS designed into it? She was sure that she'd touch his hearts. Clara stood up from her stool, took a last sip of her hot chocolate before putting the mug in her sink, and walked out of her kitchen.

"Doctor you're kind of early, I have one last touch to make on my pumpkin." Clara frowned. The Doctor was sitting on her couch, moving his thumbs around impatiently.

"Happens sometimes, but it doesn't matter. I'm excited to show you my pumpkin. But let me see yours first."

Clara shook her head, "No? I'm not done, we show each other our pumpkins at eleven, like we agreed on."

The Doctor grinned and and pointed at the small clock placed on the center table of her living room.

"10:59...11 now."

Clara scoffed and began to walk back to her kitchen when she heard the Doctor yell out, "I'll bring out my pumpkin. Bring your pumpkin out as well." Clara grumpily gathered the pumpkin left overs and threw them away, and cleaned her counter first. She knew without the blue lighting, her pumpkin wouldn't seem all that spectacular, but at least it was decent. As soon as she touched the pumpkin, it began to change colors again, this time settling on a dark he of unpleasant yellow. No, Clara thought as she panicked. This was the worst time her pumpkin could possibly change to any color, especially such a disgusting yellow. No way would she out do the Doctor this way, and she began to regret experimenting with alien fruit.

"Clara! Come meet my pumpkin."

Clara sighed as she picked it up and hurried out into the living room, coming face to face with the Doctor placing an ordinary orange pumpkin, carved in the usual jack-o-lantern grin, and in fact, the Doctor's grin matched the jack-o-lantern's, as he stared at Clara's horrific pumpkin.

"Nice Jack you got there."

"No. Shut up. Why is yours so regular? However it's extremely bright. It's like you have 20 candles in there." Clara frowned.

"Maybe I do." The Doctor winked as he gave him pumpkin a tap, and suddenly The Monster Mash began to play loudly out of it. Clara's eyes opened wide, as she bend down to take a view inside the pumpkin.

"You are kidding me." Clara gasped, as she realize there was an entire sound system inside the pumpkin, along with many candles. Clara looked up at the Doctor in bewilderment.

"You've made it bigger on the inside!" Clara hissed, as she got up, crossing her arms.

"Best Carver in the universe. Got lessons from the best, myself." The Doctor said, with a smug look on his face. The Doctor shrugged and walked over to Clara's pumpkin, trying to hold in a laugh.

"Turned yellow on the worst timing. However, Great carving. I'm touched." The Doctor gave Clara a sincere warm smile, making her heart fluster. She walked over, about to thank him, when she realized something.

"Wait. You knew this pumpkin changed its colors and you didn't tell me."

The Doctor fidgeted with his jacket sleeve, avoiding eye contact with Clara. "Well..."

"Unbelievable! Unfair! Fine. You win. Best carver in the universe. Now shut up and help me put these somewhere." Clara muttered, picking up her pumpkin, which seemed on the verge of changing to green. The Doctor picked his up, following Clara to her window. They placed the pumpkins there, and the Doctor turned to Clara.

"What's my prize, then."

Clara let out a sarcastic laughter before walking back to the living room, when an idea popped in her head. She knew the perfect prize, which would be a prize for her actually, seeing as she's been wanting quality time with the Doctor, with no running. Clara sat on her sofa, and grabbed her remote. The Doctor walked in, staring at Clara with a puzzled look. Clara looked up at him, and pat the sofa right next to her. The Doctor walked slowly towards her, and carefully sat down next to her. Clara giggled at the Doctor's unease as she moved closer to him.

"Your prize is that we are staying in today. No adventures tonight. Just a bit of Telly."

Clara turned the television on, and began to browse to see what was showing. "Ahhh the Addams family! Saved you out of a hassle didn't they." Clara giggled as she stared at the Doctor. His angry eyebrows crooked up high, his thumb flicking left to right quickly.

"Clara wouldn't you prefer to go do something? This is unacceptable."

"Oh shut up old man, loosen up." Clara let out a small sigh before she put her head on the Doctor's chest. She felt him stiffen underneath her, and smiled at the rhythm of his two heartbeats, which she noticed began to beat faster and faster. She put her hand on his leg to assure him it was okay, and she felt him relax underneath her touch. Clara smiled and stared at her Telly, watching Wednesday Addams make an appearance.
