"No, no! Please don't change..." Clara said, extending her hand out to the Doctor's.

"Oh Clara... Someone so brilliant, beautiful, and fantastic. Ha... Fantastic... You handle almost every situation so beautifully... I wish I had more time... But I guess it's time to come clean right on the spot. I know this isn't the best place to admit it but... Clara... I..." But he didn't finish. He literally sneezed and became someone new.

He stared at her and he stared at him. Suddenly he retracted and clutched his stomach.

"Kidneys! I have new kidneys! I don't like the color."

"Of your kidneys?" Suddenly the TARDIS started to lurch, causing the two to fly. "What's happening?"

"We're crashing! I just got one question.. Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?!" She stared in disbelief.

The two had just finished their fiasco with a dinosaur. A dinosaur for crying out loud. They just finished when her cell phone rang.

"You might wanna get that, it might be your boyfriend." Still with the mocking. She wasn't sure if she liked this new regeneration... Yet.

"Shut up. I don't have a boyfriend." At least she thinks she doesn't. She left the TARDIS to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"It's me..."

"Yea it's you... Who is this?"

"It's me... The Doctor."

"What do you mean, the Doctor?"

"I'm phoning you from Trenzalore."

Her jaw dropped and she had never been this surprised in her entire life... How...

"Not long now, I can feel it."

"Why? Why would you do this?" She asked, feeling tears ready to fall.

"Because I think it's going to be a whopper, and I think you might be scared. And however scared you are, Clara, the man you are with right now, the man I hope you are with, believe me, he is more scared than anything you can imagine right now and he, he needs you." He explained and the other Doctor came out of the TARDIS.

"Who's that?" He asked and Clara looked back at him.

"Is that the Doctor?" The two asked simultaneously. Creepy.

"Pretty much, yea."

"Don't tell me..." The past Doctor sounded a bit regretful. "Don't tell me I turned old..."

"Yep..." She laughed a bit.

"Clara, I'm serious. He needs you. Help him. For me. And I know I'm going to say it... But I need to know now... Do you... Love m-" And he hung up. She put the phone down and she looked at the new Doctor, who was waiting for an answer.

She didn't give him one and he sighed.

"You can't see me, can you? You look at me, and you can't see me. Have you any idea what that's like? I'm right here, standing in front of you. Please, just, just see me." He pleaded. But all she could say was,

"Thank you..."

"For what?" He asked, unsure of what she meant.

"For phoning." She pulled him into a hug and he stood there like a stick.

"I don't think this regeneration likes the hugging.." He said, still stiff as a board.

"To answer your question.. I do love you."

Ugh by far, this could be my worst ever. I'm so sorry...
