When We Travel | Whouffaldi

The Easiest Lie?

The Doctor's POV

"It's signalling. We have to assume the body is homing in on this." I said.

"How do we stop it?" Clara asked.

"Well, we could chop his head off. Oh, look..." I smirked.

"Does sarcasm help?" River questioned.

"Wouldn't it be a great universe if it did?" I replied.

River groaned, "Let's just kill the head." She said as she approached me.

"You can't shoot the head in the face!" I exclaimed.

"Why not?" River wondered. Hydroflax then awoke and started to scream. I placed him on the console.

"You kill me and my body will burn!" Hydroflax stated.

"Burn what?" I asked.

"The world!" he started, "My body contains a split quantum actualiser."

"Your power source..." I realised.

"More than a power source. If necessary, a bomb." Hydroflax said.

"You could wipe out the solar system." Clara replied.

I gave her a confused look, "How have you learnt so much?"

"I've spent WAY too much time with you." She exclaimed. The TARDIS doors suddenly opened and there stood the Cyborg with... Ramone's head? I grabbed Clara's hand and pulled her closer to me for protection.

The Cyborg entered the TARDIS, "Kill them!" Hydroflax ordered.

"Death Initiating." The Cyborg responded. Clara clicked her fingers causing the doors TARDIS doors to close. The TARDIS automatically started to dematieralise.

River looked confused, "How did you know how to close the doors?!" She asked Clara.

"Errr... Lucky guess?" She replied as we backed away from the killer Cyborg. River put some coordinates in.

"Where are we going?" I asked. The TARDIS landed.

"Just get the damn head!" River exclaimed as she grabbed the bag and manoeuvred herself around the Cyborg towards the doors. She turned around to face us and opened the bag, I quickly grabbed the head. I disabled it and tossed it towards River, she caught it in the bag. She made her way out of the TARDIS.

I pulled Clara around the console and out of the doors, she closed them behind her, "Come on, then!" I said to River and Clara. River grabbed my free hand and started to drag us down the corridor, "Stop holding my hand, people don't do that to me."

"Hush!" River replied.

"Don't hush me. I'm not a hushing person!" I exclaimed. She then stopped in her tracks and released my hand. She looked down at mine and Clara's hands which were intertwined,

"You are giving me some serious mixed messages today." River started, "Are you sure people don't hold your hand?" She asked.

I tried to pull my hand away from Clara's but she tightened her grip, "He's a terrible liar." Clara stated.

We found ourselves in some sort of hall, "Ah, Dr Song! Your table is ready." A creature came towards us.

"Flemming! How are the twins?" She replied as she handed me the bag and walked towards Flemming.

"Still digesting their mother, thank you for asking." Flemming responded.

"Erm..." Clara said to me, "TimeLord twins don't digest their mothers do they?"
