No Internet

Prompt: No Internet and no Signal....

Clara lay face down on the floor of her flat. The TARDIS landed nearby and The Doctor came rushing out. He knelt down next to Clara as he started to worry,

"Clara? Are you okay? Are you dying?" He questioned.

"Yes... I am dying...." She said.

"What?!" The Doctor asked.

"Metaphorically, Doctor! I'm not actually dying!" She got up and sat on a nearby chair. The Doctor glared at her,

"God, Clara. What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?!" He sat next to her. "Why were you lying on the floor?"

"I thought it would help pass the time." Clara sighed, "There's no bloody Internet and no bloody signal!" She complained as she stood up and started to pace around the room.

"It's not the end of the world, Clara." The Doctor stated. Clara stopped in her tracks and glared at him. "What?" He asked.

"It feels like the end of the world! I can't go on Facebook or Twitter! I can't even contact anyone to get some gossip!"

"Why don't we just go on an adventure? It will help you forget about this 'Facebook' nonsense. What is Facebook anyways? It sounds stupid, sticking a book on your face!"

"Wow, Doctor. You need to be educated about social media." Clara said with a smile.

"Well, let's go 24 hours into the past where the Internet WAS working and maybe you could show me." Clara folded her arms and decided,

"Sure. If you feel like you can handle the online world." The Doctor stood up,

"Of course I can! I'm The Doctor, what other person would be better at going online than me?"

"Considering that you have never been online... I think you would be the worst person to experience it." The Doctor groaned before he entered the TARDIS, followed by Clara, she closed the doors behind her. The Doctor pulled a number of levers and within seconds the TARDIS had landed.

"Here we go. 24 hours in the past!" He exclaimed. Clara ran to the doors and opened them.

"Er.... Doctor."

"Yes?" He asked as he walked towards her.

"Where are we exactly?"

"Oh.... It seems we've landed in the desert...." He said slowly as he rubbed the back of his neck. Clara sighed,

"Well we can't use the Internet out here!" She shouted into the desert. She closed the doors to the TARDIS once again as The Doctor pulled more levers.

"Okay okay. I think we are where we're supposed to be now." The Doctor said.

"Let's have a look." Clara said as she opened the doors cautiously. "Well, Doctor. We aren't in the desert. But we aren't in my flat either."

"Oh... we aren't even in England anymore." He said as he looked at some of the screens. "We are in America!"

"Good enough I suppose...." She said. "We just need to find a place where we can rent a laptop and use free Internet!" They both exited the TARDIS.

After about two hours they had finally managed to obtain a laptop and find a café that provided free Internet.

"Okay, Doctor." Clara started as she took a sip of her tea. He sat next to her and put the laptop in front of him. He looked at it like it was something he'd never seen before. Clara set up a Facebook account for The Doctor. Obviously using the name: John Smith. She took him to a public group page that just talked about random topics.

"What on Earth are these people talking about?!" The Doctor complained as he narrowed his eyes at the screen. They were talking about their favourite things, eg. Food and animals. "Don't they have anything better to do?" His eyes then widened, "Wow, these people need to watch their language!"

"Everyone does it on here, Doctor." She stated.

"I have only been on here for 2 minutes and I already don't like it!" He said. After Clara showed him some sites like Tumblr, YouTube and Twitter, The Doctor was officially worn out.

After getting back into the TARDIS the Doctor said, "I hate social media... and by the way what is 'Porn Hub'? I saw that advertised nearly on every site you showed me!"

"It's nothing, Doctor...."

"You should show me sometimes!"

"No." She said simply.

"Why not?"

"No!"

"But-"

"NO!" Clara said for the final time before heading towards her room on the TARDIS. The Doctor shrugged before messing around with the console. Hopefully The Doctor never buys his own laptop.
