A/N: Okay, here's the scoop….

I've got six chapters written. Just six. I have more planned, but for now just six. And the super-big-awesome-scary problem is that I don't have time to write. I went away to college sooner than I had planned and so big-scary-life stuff is getting in the way. I've moved out of my parents house, and I am at college, learning big, fancy, edumacation stuff, so I really, honestly have no time to write at all.

But I'm really impatient to post what I've got, and have this done already (which in no way is going to happen…this might have taken a few months if it was all I did, now it's probably pushed to a couple of years).

So, basically, what's going to happen, is that I'm going to post these six chapters once a week, every…what is today, Tuesday? Provided I find the time. If I do not…well, let's hope I do sometime that week.

The problem is that Architecture is a very, very, VERY demanding major, and I just know that in a few week's time things are going to get super hectic. Right now, things are kinda slow and lose because it's only the first week of classes, but shit's gonna hit the fan real soon and I might not have time to write.

You should know that there's no way in hell I'm going to give up writing this story, because I've plotted it all out and BY GOD, Ima gunna FINISH it! : D

Anyway, thanks so much for understanding, for sticking with this story, for reading and reviewing and sticking with it despite all it's flaws and my unkempt promises and odd update hours and all. THANK YOU! Without you, this story would still be stuck on…well, maybe chapter 5. Well, I probably would have written it anyway, cause it was in my head…but you made sure I wrote it down! YOU made sure to keep me going with your awesome reviews and the ever-climbing read count, so THANK YOU!

Signing off, see you next week,

-REMEMBER ME-

PART II

CHAPTER ONE

Something Awesome

"So!" you say, circling around the console across from me, your eyes alight as you lean in towards me. "Clara! All of time and space! Anything that ever happened, or ever will! Where do you wanna go? What do you want to see?"

I hesitate, biting my lip in excitement. Any place that I might want to see is completely wiped from my head.

Typical.

"Stars, planets? The future, the past? What do you want to see, Clara?"

You grin toothily at me across the console, eyes alight with excitement.

I open my mouth, my mind completely blank. I make an apologetic face.

"Mistress!" interjects K-9. "A suggestion! I would recommend something incredible!"

I point at K-9, jumping on his suggestion.

"Something incredible!" I say, turning away from the console. Then it strikes me, and I turn back around, jumping excitedly in front of you. "Something awesome!"

You clap and grin, pointing at me, like a chef whose customer has ordered his favorite meal to cook.

"Something awesome! Coming right up!" you dash around the console and I follow right beside you. You plug in the coordinates. "Wait!" you say, straightening. I can almost see the light bulb appearing over your head. You contemplate me, thinking. I straighten. "Yes, yes. I've got it. I know exactly what I'm going to take you to see, Clara. Something awesome. Yes. I've got it!"

And you pull the take-off lever.

Shwoosh.

Shwoosh

Shwoosh.

THUD!

You grin at me, gesturing theatrically towards the doors. I bite my lip through my smile.

"Where are we?" I ask, tempering my excitement.

You smile even wider, and open the doors with the flick of a switch. You run towards them, grabbing my hand on the way there and pulling me with you, ready to show me a whole new world. K-9 trails at our heels, faithfully following the both of us.

Without warning, you slide behind me and cover my eyes with your hands. I gasp at the sudden blindness, and the overwhelming sensation of having you pressed up so close behind me.

I let you guide me to the doors, until the very tips of my toes are dangling off the edge.

"Careful," you say, gripping me tightly. I'm not worried at all. In your arms, I feel perfectly safe. I know you'd never let me fall. Never. Never ever.

I'm falling…I don't think I'll ever stop…it's like I'm breaking into a million pieces…

I blink behind your hands, eyelashes fluttering against your palms.

"Where are we?" I ask again. You don't answer.

"Are you ready?" you ask. I nod, excited, afraid, nervous. It was all extremely wonderful.

"Yes. No. Wait. Yes," I say. "Yes, I'm ready."

Your hands slide from my eyes and come to rest on my shoulders. I take a deep breath, and open my eyes.

And there's nothing.

I frown.

"Hold up, are you having me on? Where's the awesome? There's nothing out there!"

"Now, now, Clara, don't judge a book by it's cover."

"Doctor!" I complain. You squeeze my shoulders, silencing me.

"Wait until you understand what you're looking at. You're right, there's nothing out there. But I don't think you quite understand. There's nothing at all out there. Nothing. No people, or dogs or calendars or lamps or trees. There's nothing. No space, no planets, no stars…no, not even time."

"Do you mean to say…?" I ask, hardly daring to breathe as the realization dawns on me.

"Yes, Clara. Yes."

You take a deep, dramatic breath.

"Welcome to the beginning of the universe."

I grin widely in amazement, and look up at you. You grin right back, your eyes alight with that same excitement I feel. I turn back to observe, and you shuffle behind me, bringing you right up close. I lean back slightly into you, and you don't seem to mind.

"I've been saving seeing this," you say softly. "For someo—"

You stop mid-sentence, realizing what you're saying. I stiffen slightly at the implication of that, my breath catching. I hardly dare look up at you. I hardly dare breath, like a bird has just landed in my palm and the slightest movement will make it fly off again.

"Master! Time!" chimes K-9, breaking the moment, and you start about a mile.

"Yes! Right! Good dog!" you check your watch. "In, about…ah…sixty…eighty seconds, there's about to be an explosion. A massive, super explosion that will be so big and so massive that, well….the atomic bomb has nothing on this baby. It won't be able to be contained. With no gravity, and no friction, it will spread, firing off in every direction at once. Billions upon billions of stars and planets will be created, like clockwork, and we'll get to watch, as all this springs into existence. The entire universe. And all this will happen in less than a second. And then time will come into play, and everything will appear to slow down, though it's really speeding up, going out faster and faster. Here's the spark, Clara. It doesn't get more awesome than this."

You let it sink in for a moment, watching me grin in amazement. Traveling with you really is everything I ever thought it could be. And then a thought occurs.

"But how can we be here?"

You grin at this question, beaming with pride.

"Excellent question. I've stabilized the time field. We're in an alternate…well…a sort of bubble in the space time continuum. Protected by an artificial gravity well in a universal constant. The TARDIS provides us with everything we need, protecting us from the…ah…nothingness. Allows us to see all."

I'm able to keep up, barely. Even with my doctorate at the Academy, the dizzying physics involved in such an act is enough to make my head spin.

"That's quite some complex equations, for someone who can barely land the TARDIS correctly."

You huff. I giggle, nudging you. Someone's got to deflate your ego. Begrudgingly, you smile at me.

"Master! The time has come!"

"Yes! You're absolutely right, K-9!" you look down at the metal dog in confusion. "Time for what?"

"The beginning of the universe, Doctor!" I tell you impatiently.

"Oh! Yes! Right!" you say. Then you point, your hand coming to rest on my waist. "Look, here it comes. The spark."

We watch, in amazement, as a pulsating light sparks into existence. And then, incredibly, amazingly, that pulsating light becomes brighter, and brighter, and brighter, until it burns to look at it, seemingly until it can't get any brighter, and then it gets even brighter.

And then, suddenly, it flickers out, and then, BANG! Suddenly it's all there, zooming out, springing into existence, expanding and expanding. The TARDIS begins to rattle, the floor shaking, and you pull me close, keeping me from falling out of the doors.

And yet there's more, as it expands, the brightness fades, and then, there! And there! Popping up everywhere in the swirls of dust created by the shock, bright, burning, shining stars. Sparkling with brilliance, better and more brilliant than any diamond.

You've given me the stars, and a tear falls down my cheek and catches in my grin.

It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

It's fantastic.

It's brilliant.

It's amazing.

It's awesome.

"Here's your awesome, Clara," you say with a grin. "It doesn't get more awesome than this."

Run you clever boy, and remember me.
