OK, limited amount of chapters left. Next is Nightmare in Silver, because the Crimson Horror is just too awkward, then a chapter where Sky meets Clara's family, in prep for the wedding, and it's going to be a very interesting encounter with the step-mum, before the Day of the Doctor. In light of this, there's going to be an image per chapter, apologies for my crappy photoshop skills, of a couple, first, Amy and Rory. Enjoy, my lovelies! Izzi xxx

Luke:

This was not going well. Sky, Callie and I were just sat watching the Doctor, Clara and the TARDIS have an argument, while we took bets on who would win. 

Sky in the chair... It broke my heart, that she was confined to it at such a young age, but she refused to let it hold her back, because she was actually getting more exercise now she was in there, because she had to lift herself around, to the toilet, to hers and Clara's bed, not that I was happy they were sharing one, but she was 22, couldn't really stop her. That, and they were engaged, which I couldn't say much about, Callie and I were pretty much engaged from the start, we just waited a while for the ring to go on her finger, and there it had sat since. I loved her with everything.

But you lot are more interested in the fight between these three, I know, I know. "You said-"

"I know what I said." Clara shouted back, while Sky set up her video recorder. "I was the one who said it."

"You said it was looking at you funny."

She shook her head. "I was tired, overwrought, Sky and I had a late night." Didn't need to know that. "I didn't mean it. It's an appliance. It does a job."

He stared at her, looking hurt. "It's a pretty cool appliance. We're not talking cheese grater here."

"You're not getting me to talk to your ship. That's properly bonkers. Well, more not as bonkers as Sky's sentient computer, but hey."

Dad didn't exactly help himself now, by talking to the console of Idris herself. "It's okay, it's okay."

Clara folded his arms. "You're like one of those guys who still lives with his mother and isn't allowed certain friends around."

"It's important to me, and Sky, you get along."

My daughter shook her head, so much happier since she got these anti depressants. "Don't get me involved, I've tried to tell her that the TARDIS is sentient, but she doesn't believe me."

He beamed at the girl, that strange gappy t-rex smile. "I could leave you two alone together, well, maybe with Sky as a chaperone." Stop trying to get Sky involved, she was busy running Torchwood.

"Now you're creeping me out."

"Take the wheel. Not the wheel. I'll make it easy. Shut it down to basic mode for you."

And now Clara got offended. "Basic? Because I'm a girl?"

The Doctor saw what he'd done. "No." And turned a key labelled 'Smiths'. Easy mode.

But Sky didn't help by blasting music through her chair, which was probably not a good thing to give her, the same sound system that Callie made to defeat the Viperox, and the second Clara operated a control, the power went out. "What have I done?"

"Er, okay."

"Gramps?"

Sky frowned, her hand softly sparking as she moved forward to touch the console, both her screens going down. "ll the electrical impulses are jammed. I can't get the shields back up. She's completely vulnerable."

Clara looked terrified. "I swear I just touched it."

Dad managed to push up a breaker lever before there was a big bang. "Magnetic hobble-field. We're flying right into it. Clara, Sparky, stay by me, Luke, stay with Callie."
