When We Travel Book 2 | Whouffaldi

Chapter 5: Trees and Tigers

Clara's POV

I wasn't too keen on the idea of leaving Oswin and Orion with the 'Paternoster Gang'... but the Doctor didn't allow me to have a say in it as he dragged me by the hand through the TARDIS corridors.

"How long has it been since you last saw me?" I asked.

"Oh, about two years." he the Doctor replied, "A very LONG two years..."

I squeezed his hand lightly, "Did you visit places? Different planets?"

He nodded, "Yes. Only one or two a year though. I mainly worked on the console, just adding useless bits here and there."

"Mind telling me where we're going?"

He smiled as we arrived at a door, "I haven't seen you in TWO years, Clara. That is a long time, even for me."

I bit my lip as we entered the Doctor's bedroom, "Oh?"

"I missed you." he added as he closed the door.

Missy's POV

"Are you almost done?!" I exclaimed. We were currently at Jack's new flat which he had recently purchased, which just so happened to be next door to Clara's.

"Hey!" Jack replied, "Never rush a game of Call of Duty!"

"I'm gonna kick your ass, Harkness!" Ashildr assured. They were playing 1v1 snipers only in Nuk3town... Splitscreen.

"You better win, Ashildr. Jack doesn't deserve to win another game..." Jenny stated. I rolled my eyes before walking over to the sofa that the three were sitting on. I pressed the button on Jenny's vortex manipulator causing her to disappear.

"No no no! I'm in the lead, Missy!" Ashildr exclaimed as I pressed the button on hers. Then the button on Jack's. I walked over to the TV and turned it and the Xbox off. I smirked as I activated my own vortex manipulator.

Vastra's POV

"So..." Strax began, he looked at the children, "Do you like grenades?"

"Strax!" I exclaimed.

"Strax, they are children!" Jenny told him. Multiple flashes of light illuminated the console room.

"Human scum! Who are you!" Strax pointed at the three people who just appeared.

Jack sighed, "Jack, Ashildr, Jenny." he introduced. Jack went down onto his knees as Oswin and Orion approached him, "Hey, kiddos." he said as the children wrapped their arms around him.

"If you don't mind me asking. But who are you?" Ashildr asked me.

"I'm a lizard woman from the dawn of time: Vastra. That's Strax and this is my wife, Jenny." I explained.

"This is gonna get confusing." Jenny2 said. I'm going to refer to my wife as 'Jenny' and to the other one as 'Jenny2', "I'm the Doctor's daughter." Jenny2 told me.

"He and Clara have three children?" I questioned.

"It's complicated. I was kind of made with a computer. Long story." Jenny2 replied. I nodded.

"WOO!" another voice. The room once again illuminated with light. "The best person in the universe just arrived!" the woman exclaimed.

"Missy?! What the hell?! I was winning that game of Call of Duty!" Ashildr complained.

"Don't worry, dear. You have got all the time in the world to play it again!" Missy assured. The children soon retracted from Jack to embrace Missy. Missy picked the two children as she asked, "Now... where's Clara and the Doctor?"
