Clara's POV

I left the kitchen followed by Missy and we entered the sitting room to find Jack putting the Twister away and everyone else was watching the TV. The Doctor was sitting on the sofa. I walked over to him and pulled him up by his hand, I then dragged him towards the TARDIS.

"Adventure." I simply said.

"Now?" He asked.

"Now." I confirmed with a smile. "I can tell that you're excited."

"Well we ARE linked. I think I might be able to unlink us if you want."

"I'll think about it..." I said as I opened the TARDIS doors.

"What do you mean you two are 'linked'?" Jack asked.

"As Missy would put it. That sounds 'saucy'." Jenny said.

"Jenny is learning! Well done, Jenny." Missy exclaimed. I rolled my eyes as I dragged the Doctor into the TARDIS, he closed the door.

A few days later

(I am not going to write about the episode 'Sleep No More' because I don't really know what to do with that :P, I will write it if you guys want me to though!)

"I told you it'd work!" I exclaimed as I ran into the TARDIS, the Doctor followed in behind me and closed the doors.

"It very nearly nearly ate you for dinner!" He replied.

"Oh admit it. I totally saved your life." I smiled.

"It wasn't going to eat me." He said, trying to hide his smile. He walked over to the console and placed his hands on the levers as I laughed,

"I totally saved you from having to marry that giant sentient plant thing!" I started, "That big where I jumped over the side? That was amazing! Hah! I knew you'd be impressed!" The Doctor then walked towards me and wrapped his arms around my waist and said,

"The second most beautiful garden in all of time and space, and we can never come back here because you, Miss Oswald, decided-" He was cut off by the phone ringing which was sat upon the console. I reluctantly pulled away from the hug and headed over to the phone, I looked over my shoulder to see the Doctor pouting as I picked the phone up.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Clara? Finally. It's Rigsy!" Rigsy exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" I questioned.

"So I have this er... it kinda looks like a tattoo." He replied.

"Seriously?" I wondered, "I gave you this number for emergencies only."

"But this in an emergency! Just come and take a look. Please." He explained.

"And who said you could give out my number?" The Doctor questioned. I glared at him and said,

"Hush, you. I'm on the phone." He then rolled his eyes. "Look, Rigsy. We can't just take you back down your timeline to fix a tatt-" I was cut off as the Doctor wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"Just put the phone down on that pudding brain, Clara..." He whispered.

"No, Clara you don't understand! I never got a tattoo and..." He paused, "It's counting down."

"Sorry, what?" I asked in confusion.

"It's a number and it's counting down to zero!" he exclaimed.

"Hang tight. We'll be there soon." I said. The Doctor then removed his arms from around me and walked to the opposite side of the console.

"Hurry. Please." Rigsy pleaded as I put the phone down. The Doctor looked at me,
