The Doctor opened the door and stepped out followed by Clara. He had removed is caretaker coat and replaced it with his original black one.

"What was that smell?!" she asked.

"Ah... Courtney threw up after seeing space. The smell refuses to leave..." he replied.

Clara sighed, "Anyways... where are we?" she looked around the very white room.

"This planet is called Apalapucia. I brought Amy and Rory here once..." the Doctor trailed off, "It was in quarantine when I took them here."

"Quarantine?" Clara questioned as the two began walking through a white corridor.

"There was a plague called Chen7 which wiped out the habitants of this planet. Hopefully, all of the handbots have left by now." the Doctor explained as they reached a door.

"If this turns out to be our last trip together, Doctor... Why did you pick this place in particular?" Clara wondered as they opened the door the door and stepped through, "Woah..." she whispered as she looked at the surroundings.

"Because it's one of the most beautiful planets in the galaxy. It's approximately two billion light years away from Earth. It is, thankfully, rich in oxygen." the Doctor replied. Clara was amazed at the pinkish-purple sky and the pure green grass, "I really hope that the disease is gone considering it is fatal to two-hearted races."

"Why would you take me here if it could harm you!?" Clara worried.

"I wanted to show you wonders. This is a lovely looking planet!" he replied as he made his way towards the grass, "It looks fantastic at sunset, Clara!" Clara started to have suspicions that the Doctor was trying to do something 'romantic' for her... but then she remembered that the Doctor is far from romantic. Clara quickly walked towards the Doctor who was now sitting on the grass, she sat next to him and looked into the distance. She saw mountains which glowed under the sunlight.

Clara gave the Doctor a confused look, "Why are we really here?"

"I told you. I wanted to show you something wonderful for your last trip." he replied as he crossed his legs. She too crossed her legs,

"What makes you think that this is my last trip with you?!" she questioned.

He shrugged as he continued to observe the mountains, "PE... er, Danny." he corrected himself, "Any human would choose a normal life where you settle down with someone, Clara... Why would you want to give up a life where you don't have to worry about dying every day?"

"Why would I want to give up a life where I'm with you?" she stated, "You've shown me so many wonders in the universe, Doctor. Most things I never thought would have existed!" she paused, "I don't know who to choose." she whispered to herself so the Doctor couldn't hear. She wanted stay with Danny because he showed respect and love towards her. However, she would stay with the Doctor IF he showed respect and love towards her.

"A life with PE or a life with me?" he questioned, bringing Clara out of her thoughts.

Clara then glared at him, "Why did you kiss me?!" she finally asked.

"Clara..." the Doctor muttered.

"No. Tell me why."

He sighed, continued to look forward to avoid Clara's gaze, "To er... annoy PE. He shouldn't have sneaked onto my Tardis like that."

Clara stood up and sat in front of the Doctor and glared at him once again, "Doctor..." she started, "It's way too far to kiss someone to just annoy another person."

"It's not my fault you enjoyed it." he mumbled in hopes he didn't hear him. He looked down at his hands in his lap.

"I-I didn't en-enjoy it!" Clara said.

The Doctor looked up at her with a smirk, "Lies..." he hissed through his teeth. Clara gulped nervously.

She shook her head, "That can't be the only reason." she said, expecting another answer.

"Don't try to change the subject, Oswald." the Doctor started, "Admit it."

"Admit what?" she mumbled.

"That you enjoyed it." he said, "I can't go on without hearing that I'm a good kisser." the smirk fell from his face as he awaited her reply.

"I didn't." she replied.

"Yes you did."

"No. No I didn't."

"Yes."

"No."

"Clara..." he gave her a small smile, "Even PE knew you did."

"Okay, fine! Yes I did! But why did you do it?!"

"I've already told you why..."

"You told me half of it. You wouldn't do that to just hurt Danny." Clara said. Clara waited for an answer, but no words came out of the Doctor's mouth, "Screw it." Clara muttered.

The Doctor raised his eyebrow in confusion, "Wha-" Clara quickly manoeuvred herself into the Doctor's lap. She pressed her lips firmly into his as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled away and looked into his eyes, waiting for him to answer her question.

"Tell me why you kissed me, Doctor." she demanded.

The Doctor leaned forward and rested his forehead against hers, "Why don't you tell me why you just kissed me?" he asked.

"I asked you first. You tell me, I'll tell you." she assured. The Doctor put his arms around Clara's waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder, she tightened her arms around his neck as she rested her head on his shoulder, "I thought you weren't a hugger..." she smiled.

"Choose me, Clara." he muttered.

"What?" she asked. She was shocked that the Doctor had actually told her to choose him.

"Ever since my regeneration I've felt alone, Clara. Please choose me. When I was translating for the dinosaur... that's how I felt aswell." he began, "Can't see me. I am alone." he reminded her of what he had said.

"I can, Doctor." Clara said, "I can see you."

"I was just worried that you would leave me because I'm not the man you first met."

"I thought you weren't. But you are." she tried to reassure him as she removed her chin from his shoulder. She started to kiss him once again, "Just tell me why I should choose you, Doctor." she pulled away slightly.

"Because I have a duty of care." he replied.

"Doctor." Clara started, "Replace the wrong three words 'duty of care' with the right three words." Clara pleaded.

The Doctor looked down, "Those are the right three words." he mumbled.

She put a hand on his cheek causing him to look at her, "They are not the right three words. Tell me the right ones otherwise I will choose Danny." she warned. She waited for a few seconds. If he truly didn't want her to leave then he would say the words. The three words that she wanted to tell him aswell, "Fine!" Clara exclaimed as she pulled away from the Doctor's grip, she stood up, "Come on then. Take me back to the Tardis. Take me back home to Danny." she knew that he wouldn't have said them. He's the Doctor. He doesn't fall in lov-

"No no no. Okay okay." He quickly stood up and put a hand on the back of her neck, putting his lips on hers, "Fine fine, okay. I love you. Please don't go back to Danny." he said quickly, continuing to place small kisses on her lips. He stopped to see her reaction.

She bit her lip, "You're not lying to me just to make me stay with you, right?"

He shook his head, "No. I have a duty of ca- I-I mean I love you, Clara Oswald." he stuttered.

"Aaaand you want me to choose you... Right?" she asked. He nodded. She then backed away and folded her arms, "Why?" she questioned.

"Wh-Why?" he wondered.

"Why should I stay with you?" she asked with slight anger in her tone.

He looked at her in confusion, "I'm sorry but... I don't think I understand why you're angry..."

"Because you kissed me!"

The Doctor raised his eyebrow at her, "What?" he looked at her in disbelief.

"Whilst I was with Danny! Why couldn't you bloody have done before!" she punched him in the shoulder.

"Because I thought you didn't like me after the regeneration..."

She couldn't just go and break up with Danny, could she? "I'm sorry that I made you think that, Doctor."

"Clara. We can fly away together. Choose me, not PE. Please."

"Why have you gone all soft?" she wondered.

He shrugged, "Anything to make you stay with me."

She sighed, "Just take me back home. Let me just TALK to Danny, okay?"

"Can we go in an hour?" he asked.

"Why not now?" she replied. He sat back down on the grass and waited for Clara to sit next to him. She sat on the grass quite close to him.

"The sun is setting..." he started, "This planet looks best when the sun starts to go down..." he then cautiously put his arm around her shoulder. Clara froze momentarily before shifting closer to him, putting her own arm around his waist as she looked at the mountains in the distance, placing her head on his shoulder in the process.

The sun slowly went down behind the mountains, dark blue swirls started to appear in the sky as it got darker and darker. The last bit of the light the sun emitted made the mountains glow, Clara smiled, "Doctor?" she started, the Doctor hummed in acknowledgement, "I... I love love you too." she breathed out.
