Leyna's POV

"So, here we are, abandoned by the Doctor, left alone in the art gallery", I said.

"'I'll be back in a minute'", Clara quoted the Doctor right before he jumped in his TARDIS and flew off after dropping us off in the gallery.

"Well, we should trust him. He is wise. Most of the time. I mean, whats a great piece of advice that he's given you?" I asked Clara.

"I just want a little evidence to tell me that he isn't just a madman with a box", I added, earning a laugh.

"Well, one thing is 'never let time be the boss of you', which is pretty smart. It's also just an excuse for being late, but put in a different in a different context and that gives you a whole new reason to trust him."

"Well, he also got mad at me once for not bringing a banana to a party", she laughed. Man, it was great to have another person to talk to about the Doctor.

"Yeah, why do we trust this man?" she said in between laughs. It seems like she knows him better than I do, even though she got a different incarnation of him.

"How do you know him so well? It's like you know every different incarnation of his."

"Well, I do. I'm the impossible girl. Born to save the Doctor, saving him through every regeneration because I jumped into his time stream to save him, so he wouldn't die. He thinks it's so amazing, how I'm the impossible girl. Like I'm the last mystery in the universe worth solving."

"Oh Clara, if only you knew."

"Knew what?" her eye brows furrowed and she put on a smug, but questioning, smile.

"How much you mean to him."

The sound of the TARDIS pops up, and three TARDISes land in front of us in a row. Clara was about to ask me what I meant, but the Doctor's all stepped out and I knew that I had to change the subject.

"So, what have you been up to?" I asked them.

War Room On Gallifrey: Third person

All the people in the Gallifreyan War Room looked up at the screens around them as three incarnations of the Doctor popped up.

"Hello, hello, Gallifrey high command, this is the Doctor speaking", the Eleventh Doctor said while fiddling with the screen to make sure he got a clear signal across.

"Hello! Also the Doctor. Can you hear me?" the tenth Doctor said while checking out his screen.

"Also the Doctor, standing ready", the War Doctor said.

"Dear God, all three of them. All my worst nightmares at once", the General said while frantically looking at the rest of the people in the room.

"General, we have a plan", the tenth Doctor informed them.

"We should point at this moment, it is a fairly terrible plan", the eleventh Doctor said while flailing his arms around.

"And almost certainly won't work", the tenth Doctor added.

"I was happy with fairly terrible", the eleventh Doctor said to the tenth Doctor.

"Sorry, just thinking aloud", the tenth Doctor said while fixing his tie.

"We're flying our three TARDISes into your lower atmosphere", the eleventh Doctor said while pulling some levers on the console.

"We're positioned at the equidistant intervals around the globe. Equidistant. So grown up", the tenth Doctor said while admiring his new vocabulary.
