"So Baker Street. Baker Street, Baker Street, Baker Street. Baaaaaker Streeeet." The doctor said, for they were in fact standing in the middle of Baker Street.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Sarah Jane asked turning to the doctor who was leaning against the TARDIS.
"I have no idea. You've never met the Mrs. She's full of surprises!"
"Well while you go looking for clues like Scooby Doo I'm going to get some lunch at Speedy's Sandwich Bar and Cafe, all that redecorating made me hungry!" Rose declared.
"I'll come!" Martha piped up along with some others. So soon Rose, Martha, Mickey, Sarah Jane and Jack (after lots of arguing) were off to get lunch leaving The Doctor, John and Clara to look for clues about River's message.
"Are you sure you don't want to come have lunch with us and leave the men to do the work?" Martha asked.
"Hey! I'm a man!" Mikey protested.
"Yeah but baby you're rubbish at man stuff..." Martha comforted.
"Yeahhh fine!" He moaned.
"I'll be fine by the way. Somebody's got the keep the child under control. I'm a nanny after all." Clara joked nodding towards the Doctor.
"Okay see you later." Martha smiled sadly knowing how hard it was for Clara to be around the Doctor and hide her feelings, she had been in the same situation once.
"Doctor, we've been looking for ages the others are going to start wondering where we are!" Clara fretted.
"No they won't Clara its only been an hour and we've only got one more shop to look...in." He trailed off looking at the shop.
"What? What is it?" Clara asked spinning around to read the name of the shop. "THE ANGELS HAVE THE VIDEO SHOP" it read. Peculiar name thought Clara but then again anything related to the Doctor was strange in one way or another.
"You recognise it too?" The Doctor asked John who was also staring at the shop.
"Of course I recognise it I have all your old memories remember?"
"Yeah...Clara be a doll and go get the others will ya?" The Doctor asked.
"Get them yerself ya muppet and I'm not a doll!"
"Fineeee but they never listen to me!" He whined. "You're the boss remember?"
"Both of you shut it! You're acting like an old married couple." John intervened. "I'll call Rose to bring the group here and I'll leave you two alone together for a minute as you OBVIOUSLY have problems to work out." Finishing his speech he left the pair alone on the mostly empty street.
"I'm not that old..." the Doctor muttered.
Sighing Clara sat down leaning against the wall of the video shop.
"What's this really about Clara. Ever since you found that list you've been sending me mixed up signals." The Doctor looked concerned, he sat down next to Clara who put her head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Chin, its just with everything thats happened the last few months with the great intelligence and your timestream, its all just hit me at once like a ton of bricks." She sighed again, hoping he wouldn't try and dig any deeper. If he knew how she felt it would break her heart, she knew he could never love her. She shivered. Feeling the coldness of her arm the Doctor gave her his jacket to put on.
"Don't worry I'll keep you safe. My Clara, my impossible girl." He smiled sadly, remembering how many times he had lost her.
She turned toward him her eyes shining with tears, "you promise?" She whispered so quite that only he could hear.
"Cross my hearts, forever and always." He promised, really looking at her. The Doctor had always looked past her image but for once he actually looked at her properly. He realised how much he loved it when she smiled, how she could light up the room with her presence, how she only had one dimple which added to her character and how she always knew the right thing to say. He loved her laugh and it broke his hearts to see her sad or upset. He always looked forward to their weekly adventures and often just hopped from one meeting to the next. He hated it when others flirted with her. She was his impossible soufflé girl. At that moment the Doctor realised something making his eyes grow wide. He, the Doctor, was in love with Clara Oswin Oswald.
"Doctor? Why are you looking at me like that?" Clara frowned making her forehead crinkle.
"Oh no reason.." He trailed off as their faces itched closer and closer together. He was going to kiss her.
Clara knew what was going to happen, they were going to kiss and she didn't care what anyone else thought. Their faces turned out to be closer than either of them had realised and as soon as one if them was about to close the gap the downpour of rain began. Clara looked up at the now grey sky and laughed. She got up and pressed herself as close to the shop as she could not wanting to get soaked by the rain. The doctor on the other hand had a different idea, he went splashing out in the puddles kicking water everywhere some of it accidentally hitting Clara.
"Oh you asked for it Chin Boy!" She threatened jokily shrugging off the doctors jacket and running out into the rain. Everyone inside the shops must have thought they were mad but she didn't care. Sometime in the whole downpour Clara had been dancing around with her dress sticking to her skin and her arms flailing about when the Doctor pulled her towards him. Then she was somehow in his arm and he was kissing her. At first it took her by shock, the Doctor never failed to surprise her but this was the biggest one of all, but then she relaxed and started to kiss him back letting the world around them melt away as if time itself had stopped. He had pulled her closer as of never wanting to let her go. She could feel both his hearts beating in time with hers. Her hands gripped his hair while his rested on her back. The rain continued to hail down on them but nothing mattered except she was here with her Doctor. Slowly he pulled away from her, a goofy smile spread across his face. She giggled as she looked up at his hair which was sodden with water before looking down at herself and realising she was in the same situation.
"Come on soufflé girl lets go find the others." He whispered in her ear, his breath tickling her face.
"Why of course Chin lets go." She grinned keeping her fingers laced in with his.
