A/N;

When I write like this it's an voice over off the Doctor.

And when I write in bold it's the voice over off Clara's.

*Amphitheatre, Night*

Clara lands the moped and helps Merry and me off holding hands, we look towards the temple and the sun everyone in the amphitheatre knows there is something momentous happening.

"Amelia, TARDIS." Clara reminds me I nod smiling before running off I run down the market passing stalls I see Doreen who barks I smile "Goodbye Doreen!" I say waving.

I see the TARDIS "Please let me in." I whisper as I held the handle I take a deep breath and push it luckily it opens.

*TARDIS*

I smile as I step inside I jump down the steps before sitting down in the jump seat.

Can you hear them? All these people who've lived in terror of you and your judgment? All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves. Sacrificed themselves. To you. Can you hear them singing?

You like to think you're a god. But you're not a god. You're just a parasite eaten out with jealousy and envy and longing for the lives of others. You feed on them. On the memory of love and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow. So... come on, then. Take mine. Take my memories. But I hope you've got a big appetite. Because I've lived a long life and I've seen a few things.

I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time. No space. Just me. I've walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman. I've watched universes freeze and creations burn. I've seen things you wouldn't believe. I've lost things you'll never understand. And I know things. Secrets that must never be told. Knowledge that must never be spoken. Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze. So come on then! Take it! Take it all, baby! Have it! You have it all!

Still hungry? Well, I brought something for you. This. The most important leaf in human history. The most important leaf in human history. It's full of stories, full of history. And full of a future that never got lived. Days that should have been that never were. This leaf isn't just the past, it's a whole future that never happened. There are billions and millions of unlived days for every day we live. An infinity. All the days that never came. And these are all my mum's.

Dad is at the console Clara heads for the door.

"Home again, home again, jiggity-jig!" Dad said Clara opens the door.

"It looks different." She mention.

"Nope. Same house. Same city. Same planet. Same day, actually. Not bad." Dad said smiling he swings a pretend golf club "Hole in one!" He cheers.

Clara closes the door and takes a few steps inside "You were there. At Mum's grave. You were watching. What were you doing there?" Clara asked him.
