Clara's POV
The Doctor put the coordinates in for Danny's flat and we soon landed. I headed towards the door. I placed a hand on the door but then turned to look at the Doctor, he had his back to me and he was pretending to mess with the console. I sighed before walking towards him.
"Clara..." he said as he turned to look at me, "I know that I said that I didn't want you to leave me but... if you do choose PE, I will accept it. We can still have the occasional adventure perhaps once a month or something."
I let out another sigh before asking, "Did you mean it?"
"Wh-what? Did I mean what?" he questioned.
"When you said, 'I love you'. I know I asked you before but did you actually mean it? I'm still having my suspicions that you are just saying that to make me stay with yo-" he unexpectedly cut me off by putting his lips on mine.
"Ye.s" he mumbled, continuing to kiss my lips. I was about to put my arms around his neck but I quickly pulled away. I then walked back towards the doors. A part of me still thought that the Doctor was only saying this make me stay with him! Afterall he was still jealous of Danny.
"I meant it too." I assured him.
He sighed, "If you're happy with PE, Clara. Then I'm happy. Okay?"
"Okay." I muttered, exiting the TARDIS, shutting the door behind me.
"So... Where did you go?" Danny asked as the TARDIS disappeared. I sighed as I sat on the sofa next to him.
"We just went to a place called Apalapucia. Nothing much really happened so we didn't stay for too long." I replied as I looked at him, "Always looking for danger. None there unfortunately." He nodded before leaning forward and placing his lips on mine.
Seconds later he pulled away with a hint of confusion, "What's wrong, Clara?" he asked.
"N-Nothing." I said.
"Clara. If something's bothering you, you need to tell me."
I sighed, "Err..." I began, "The Doctor said that erm... that he er... that he doesn't want to travel with me anymore!" Well I couldn't really tell Danny that the Doctor had said 'I love you', now can I?
"Seriously?"
I nodded, "He said that we can have like one adventure every couple of months or something..."
Moments later, Danny let out a sigh, "Please tell me the truth, Clara."
"The truth?"
He nodded, "I know that you love him. A lot more than me that's for sure. So why won't you just admit that you do?"
"I don't." I muttered.
"Clara. Anyone can see that." he stated, "Know that I love you so much, okay?" I already knew who I was choosing since the Doctor first kissed me to annoy Danny. Danny then sighed, "What did you do on Apalapucia?" he asked.
"I told you. Nothing."
"Clara." he started, "Knowing the Doctor... he wouldn't have just taken you to a place where nothing happens. So tell me."
I bit my lip, "He erm... he told me that erm... that he-"
"Loved you?" Danny wondered. I nodded with a sigh, "And what did you say?" he waited for a few seconds.
"That I loved him back." I whispered. Danny sighed as he stood up.
"I'm not trying to force you to stay with me, Clara but... you have to face facts. He's an alien. How could the relationship possibly work? He'll outlive you and you know that once you die he will almost instantly move on." he explained, "Being in a human relationship is what you should be doing."
I raised my eyebrow at him as I stood up, "So you're gonna stop me from seeing him?" I questioned. He just shrugged. "Because that sure sounds like you're forcing me to stay with you."
"No no no, Clara! Listen to yourself. He is an alien. Not human. And in all honesty, I can assure you that I love you more than he does." He may love me more than the Doctor... but I can definitely say that I love the Doctor more than him. I still had to make a choice. Normal Human Life, or Crazy Alien-filled Life. I sighed once again as I walked over to Danny and placed my hand on his cheek.
"I love you." I said with a smile.
"I love you too." he replied with a smile of his own. His smile slightly dropped, "You're going with the Doctor, aren't you?" I nodded as I removed my hand from his cheek.
"Danny, I have loved the Doctor for a long time. I was waiting for him to tell me first and I think that he was waiting for me to tell him first."
Danny groaned, "So you used me to make him jealous."
I quickly shook my head, "N-no! No I didn't! Trust me, Danny. I gave up on the Doctor ever since he changed, but a part of me still wanted him. Then I met you." I paused, "Trust me, Danny. I love you. But... the Doctor... he has had my heart for a long long time."
He nodded, "Okay. But if he hurts you, promise me that you'll come to me for help."
I smiled, "Of course." I pulled my phone out of my pocket and rang the TARDIS phone. Seconds later the Doctor picked up.
"Mmmhmm?"
"Doctor, It's Clara. Can y-" I paused as I looked at Danny's hurt expression.
"Can IIII... Can I what?" the Doctor questioned. Danny then nodded at me for me to go ahead.
"Can you come and pick me up? I have something to tell you."
"On my way." he sighed. I put the phone down.
"Like they always say. There are plenty of other fish in the sea." I told Danny.
"There are plenty of other fish in the sea." Danny confirmed. The sound of the TARDIS filled the room, "Good luck, Clara."
"Good luck, Danny." I turned and headed towards the TARDIS. I then slowly opened the doors and entered, the Doctor instantly sent us into the vortex, "Hello, Doctor." I said.
"Ah, Clara. You've chosen I see."
"Yes." I stated.
"Like I said. I am perfectly fine with you being with PE. We can still travel together. So... where do you wanna go?" he exclaimed.
I raised my eyebrow at him as I approached him, "Doctor-" he thinks that I chose Danny... Gods...
"I was thinking maybe Apalapucia again... but when things were a little bit more interesting when the hand bots were still there! Gods, I love danger."
"Doctor I-"
"Or perhaps..." he said flipping levers and pushing buttons, "Maybe we can go back way before the Magellan Black Hole occurred! Where's planet lined the skies as far as the eye can see!"
"Doctor..." I said with a smile. To be honest, I loved to hear him rambling. He looked at me in confusion. "Shut up." I said before leaning up and placing my lips on his. I pulled away to look at him. He just raised his eyebrow at me.
"Hmm..." he said.
"Wh-what?" I asked.
"Isn't PE going to be a bit angry considering that you're still with him?" he wondered.
I shook my head, "I've been trying to tell you, Doctor. I chose you."
"Seriously?" he questioned in shock.
"Seriously." I confirmed. The Doctor smiled as he took my hand.
"Well, Miss Oswald. What do you want to see?"
She smiled back, "Something awesome."
