Short chapter inspired by daily struggle of student of literature. So Clara-like subject :)

I hope you will like it! Comment please!

"Clara. do something with Maggie, I am trying to work here!" Doctor snapped, looking at Clara who just entered the console room.

"What's going on?" she asked

"I want to learn Galifreyan" I looked at her with a conspiratorial spark in my eye.

"Well, that's actually a good idea" Clara grin to our mutual friend.

"Oh great, I should have predicted that. You two always conspiring."

"Oi, we are not conspiring, we are just agreeing that's it!" I've tried to defend us.

"Surprisingly, you are always agreeing" Doctor raise his eyebrow. "Besides, shouldn't you be writing an essay for your university or something, Maggie? You are still human, I would like to remind you. And do not count on me to give you more time by hanging around in the past, because you still don't have your last paragraph for Monday"

I gasped. "Yes, I do have to write an essay, I am finishing it actually, and I don't need to be remained and scolded, thank you very much!" Clara was laughing uncontrollable, standing near stairs. I sent her a murderous look.

"Oh, Maggie. If I had him remanding me to write an essay when I was still studying… I would go crazy" my friend smiled at me.

"You… are… not…. helping…. Clara" I drawled my words.

"Oh common, Maggie, I just care. I have a duty of care" said Doctor placatingly.

"No you don't. You do not have to care! No one imposed you caring about me!" I crossed my arms, and snapped, not even knowing why. They were my friends. I was tired, and when tired I was getting emotional, though.

"No. I do not HAVE TO care, I WANT to care." Said Doctor coming closer to me. "I want to care, because you are my friend. Because you, and Clara are important to me, and I care about your safety when we re exploring outer space, or discovering Middle Ages but I also care about your small-big everyday life problems." He lowered his voice. "You are part of my family."

I looked on my feet. "I am sorry" I whispered. "I am sorry, Doctor. I overreacted…. I…"

"It's all right" He took my chin in his hand, and made me look at him. "Look at you, my two stubborn, impossible daughters." It was rare for him to be so emotional. It must have been special day.

"Right, I see that I won't be able to do more with you to bouncing around in here" Doctor looked again at the panel and turned off the screen which he was studying. "Any wishes for new adventure?"
