Amy had a hard time introducing Clara as her "girlfriend" at first but she tried her hardest to get over her fears. After a few weeks they were officially calling themselves a couple.
"Hey, you know we haven't been traveling in over a month!" Clara noticed as they sat lazing about in the livingroom.
"I wasn't sure if you wanted to anymore." Amy smiled. She was glad Clara was mentioning traveling again. She wanted to make sure Clara was feeling well enough after what had happened with her mother but it took an inexhaustible amount of energy for Amy to remain patient. Patience was more Clara's department.
"Ok, so you're ready to travel then? Perfect! I know just the place" Amy ran to The Tardis and brushed off the jackets they'd piled on top of the time machine in their living room. "I've been looking at the books in The Tardis' library and I think I found the perfect place."
Clara ran inside after Amy. "So you've been sneaking into The Tardis to read the travel magazines in the library?"
"Yeah!" Amy smiled as she took a magazine out from under the console. "Tell me what you think." Amy read the brochure. "In the heart of the Aria Beta System, massive and ancient trees surround the secret cove. A home to the planet's marine inhabitants, the cove is safe for visitors as long as they remain at a safe distance from the jagged rocks. The friendly locals live behind The Silver Mountains and have been dubbed by many as The Tiger People because of their resemblance to the old earth feline with similar orange and black patterns on their skin."
Amy threw Clara the magazine so she could look at the pictures. Clara read an excerpt. "Located by the second star to the right of Aria Beta's spiral core." Clara looked up with a smile at Amy. "You actually found Neverland."
"Yup!" Amy chuckled giddily. "I told you I'd take you there." Amy flipped the switches on the console and set up the coordinates. They'd never attempted to land on an alien planet before. Amy had no idea how this would turn out but she was more than ready to go for it. She wanted to give Clara a perfect day out.
"I've been studying as best I can but this thing doesn't seem to have a manual" Amy tried to steer the ship.
"So not only have you been sneaking in here to brainstorm new travel destinations but you've also been practicing how to fly?" Clara crossed her arms.
"I promise I never left." Amy looked worried in fear that Clara would be upset but it seemed the prospect of visiting Neverland was too exciting for her to get angry. "I think we've made it!" Amy looked at the monitor displaying their location.
Clara excitedly ran to the door and opened it to see a glowing moonlit shore of an enchanted lagoon. Yellow lightning bugs lit up the sky while an iridescent sparkle rippled over the surface of the water. She slowly walked towards the waters edge and touched it lightly with her fingertips. It seemed to feel just like the water on Earth. "I wonder if you can drink it" Clara thought out loud.
"I wouldn't." Amy laughed as she walked up behind her. "But maybe we can dip our toes in." Amy sat down on one of the rocks by the deeper end of the lagoon and took off her boots and socks. She slowly put her feet in and a bluish glow followed the movement of her feet in the water.
"What about the marine life we read about?" Clara sat beside Amy and took off her shoes to join her. "I haven't seen anything. Is it safe to put our feet in?" Just then small blue fish swam past leaving a trail of blue light behind them.
"It's totally safe" Amy sounded quite confident for someone who honestly had no idea. "Now kiss me" Amy leaned in and kissed Clara. She then began to work her hands slowly up Clara's legs.
"What if someone sees" Clara whispered as she held her skirt down to keep Amy from moving her hands up any further.
"There's no one here, silly" Amy took Clara's hands in hers and moved them away from her skirt as she leaned in and kissed her again.
"Amy, stop." Clara giggled as she felt Amy's hands reaching under Clara's skirt again. Amy would have kept going if a loud splash hadn't made them both turn their heads. "What was that?" Clara's big brown eyes widened with worry. "Maybe we should come back in the daylight. Just in case."
"Ugh fine. I guess you're right." Amy sighed as they stood back up and headed back to The Tardis. "But I couldn't resist the idea of having my way with you at the edge of an alien lagoon."
"You can have your way in here" Clara crooked her finger as she stood at The Tardis' doorway.
Amy had her way until Clara fell asleep and Amy quickly got dressed to go out exploring. Amy figured it would just be for a little while. She was too excited to sleep and wait till daylight. She stepped out slowly with a small torch in hand and went back to the edge of the lagoon. She got on her knees and looked into the water to see her own reflection but before she had a chance to notice she'd fallen into the water almost as if she'd been forcefully pushed in. She coughed and caught her breath as she took off her jacket. "Great!" Amy whispered as she moved her wet hair from her face. As she did so she was left motionless in shock as she saw a mermaid swim up to her.
"You're all wet" She giggled as she tugged at Amy's clothes. "You don't need these."
"Hey, excuse me!" Amy fought her off. She mermaid had long golden hair and blue eyes. "You might not have a need for it but I do." Amy said noticing her watery friend wasn't wearing anything to cover her human half. Amy couldn't help but stop for a moment and stare. Not just because of her nakedness but the strangeness of how her bottom half wasn't human at all. She had a simmering black tail that felt like cold, soft satin against Amy's legs.
