Well, I was supposed to be studying for my test, but this happened instead.
I have an excuse though. Writing this totally helped me clear my head, and I really needed a break from all the frantic calculus studying. So here you are - I hope you enjoy this! I'm a tiny bit proud of this chapter:)
And by the way, thanks SO MUCH for the overwhelmingly positive response to this story! You guys are the best! Ten reviews already! I'm really glad you're liking it. And thank you, all of you, for the good luck wishes on my exam. I'm going to need a lot of luck to pass.
Now on with the story.
Clara: Doctor.
Clara: Doctor.
Clara: Doctor.
Doctor: Stop poking me.
Clara: What? I'm not poking you.
Doctor: Yes you are. Whenever you say 'Doctor' like that you poke my arm. What do you want, anyway?
Clara: I just wanted to talk to you. Is that a crime?
Doctor: Yes.
Clara: Sue me then. It won't stop me from talking to you.
Doctor: I know it won't; that's why I'm not even going to bother.
Doctor: What are u doing?
Doctor: Stop right there.
Clara: ?
Doctor: That u.
Doctor: Why did you put it there?
Clara: It's texting shorthand. It's short for 'you'.
Doctor: Because humans are too lazy to type the two extra letters.
Clara: No, stupid. We do it to annoy grammar freaks like you.
Doctor: Really?
Clara: No, we're just lazy.
Clara: You need to get better at recognizing sarcasm.
Doctor: You need to stop using that appalling text shorthand.
Doctor: I won't tolerate it.
Clara: Y?
Doctor: What?
Clara: It's short for 'why'.
Doctor: Because it's annoying, and blunt, and rude.
Clara: Hmmm... sounds like someone I know...
Doctor: Who?
Clara: Never mind. He's too dense to ever figure out how annoying he is.
Doctor: Whatever. My point is, learn to type like normal people!
Clara: Um, have you been living under a rock? This is what normal people type like.
Clara: At least normal people who aren't from the Dark Ages.
Clara: That was pointed at you. Just so you know.
Doctor: Yes, I got it, thanks.
Doctor: But you're an English teacher. How can you stand to use such horrifying language?
Clara: There's a big difference between English teacher and Grammar Nazi. I'm one, you're the other.
Doctor: I've met Hitler, and you're more like him then anyone else I know.
Clara: Just stop talking now.
Clara: Wait. Hitler? When?
Doctor: A long time ago. Rory told him to shut up.
Clara: Who?
Doctor: Never mind. Just stop with the texting language, okay?
Clara: Wat will u do if i dont?
Doctor: Stop it.
Clara: Y should i stop? Im having fun;)
Doctor: Clara Oswald, I'm warning you.
Clara: :):):):)
Doctor: And stop with the little evil smiles, they're creepy.
Clara: They are not.
Clara: I'll show you what's creepy.
Clara: This is creepy: : - |
Doctor: What is that even supposed to be?
Clara: See, it's you: : - |
Doctor: Hilarious.
Clara: I know. : - |
Doctor: This is you. % (
Clara: Why are my eyes lopsided?
Doctor: They're not lopsided. They're ginormous. I couldn't find any other symbol with such big circles.
Clara: I hate you.
Doctor: :)
Clara: Okay, don't do that. Only I can do that. It's weird when you do it.
Doctor: Y?
Clara: Don't.
Doctor: Okay.
Doctor: You're not using text language anymore.
Clara: Do you want me to?
Doctor: NO. I was just wondering why.
Clara: I was just doing it to annoy you, I don't really use that language much. I have enough time on my hands to spell everything properly.
Doctor: So you are an English teacher after all.
Clara: Shut up.
Doctor: Okay, Os.
Clara: Are you still trying to come up with nicknames for me?
Doctor: Maybe...
Clara: They're all rubbish.
Clara: And stop pouting.
Doctor: I'm not pouting.
Clara: Yes you are, you always do when I say something like that, and then you make me feel guilty. So don't do it.
Doctor: Yes ma'am.
Clara: That's better. And while you're calling me 'ma'am', you can go to Starbucks and pick up an iced latte for me.
Doctor: Oops, the wifi's going bad, I'd better go and fix it... I'm leaving now.
Clara: I thought so.
Clara: Now I actually have to walk to the Starbucks myself.
Doctor: What a tragedy.
Clara: A stick insect like yourself wouldn't understand the sorrows of mortal life.
Clara: Gotta go, talk later?
Doctor: I don't really have a choice but to talk later, do I?
Clara: Of course not. I was just phrasing it as a question to try to be polite. I keep hoping some of my politeness will rub off on you.
Doctor: Says the woman who practically trampled a couple of people underfoot just to be the first in line at the Marks and Spencers sale.
Clara: I was excited!
Clara: And wait, you saw that?
Doctor: I see everything. I know everything.
Clara: Because that isn't creepy.
Clara: Okay, I'm going now. Please try not to stalk me.
Doctor: Why not?
Clara: Because I'll force you to eat one of my soufflés if you do.
Doctor: I won't stalk you.
Clara: Good.
Clara: Talk to you later then.
Thirty seconds later:
Clara: DOCTOR.
Doctor: Yes?
Clara: I just looked out of my window and saw you across the street!
Clara: What the hell are you doing?! I thought we went over this: it's not polite to stalk people!
Doctor: I'm not stalking! I'm just... watching you to make sure you're safe.
Clara: How many times a day to you pop over to check on me?!
Doctor: Usually at least ten.
Doctor: I mean, never. This is the first time I've done it.
Doctor: Oops.
Clara: Doctor, I'm coming down there to smack you right now.
Doctor: I'll be several billion light years away by the time you get down.
Clara: Well, you'd better hurry up and leave then, because here I come.
Clara: Now shoo.
Doctor: Point taken. Bye.
Clara: See you later, you numpty.
So what did you think? If you have time, please leave reviews or prompts, it would really help distract me from my test on Thursday. I need distraction because I'm having an absolute panic attack. Also, I'm wondering who you would like to see in the next chapter. Clara and 12 are hilarious and super fun to write, but I did say I would be using other characters as well. So which Doctor/companion duo would you like to see next? (Captain Jack and River could be used too) Or would you rather that I stick to 12 and Clara? Let me know!
