Is The Future All Girl?

The TARDIS.

It stood before Clara on the icy plains. She knew it was time. The shouts coming from inside of the box instantly let Clara know that it was time. It was time for her Doctor to go and a new man to take his place.

She rubbed her hands as Ashildr appeared by her side, "You shouldn't do this." she spoke, folding her arms, "You aren't supposed to see him. You and I both know that."

"Rules are made to be broken." Clara stated, placing a single hand on the door. The TARDIS hummed beneath her fingers. The Impossible Girl took a glance back at the Diner behind her, which was quickly being covered in snow, "You don't have to stay." she looked at Ashildr, "I mean... It's not like you want to."

Ashildr shook her head, disappointment clearly etched onto her face, "He doesn't even remember you, Clara. Just walk away."

"One thing the Doctor has taught me, Ashildr." she slowly began to open the door, "We don't walk away." she paused within the doorway, "Now go. Take our Tardis and go. I'll call you if I need anything." Ashildr was about to protest but in the end she just shook her head. Clara gave her a smile before closing the door behind her.

Clara bit her lip as she glanced around the console room, "Hey, old girl." she whispered, "I hope you remember me at least." the TARDIS hummed loudly in confirmation, "Good." She took a step towards the console before a loud crash caught her attention. Her head turned to the source to see... Him. The one man she had come to see. To aid. Her Doctor. Up near his chalkboard, swiping off different machines he had built from the nearby table, "Doctor..." she whispered to herself.

The familiar golden glow began to emit from his fingers as he clutched the edge of the railing, his eyes closed, "No!" he exclaimed as the energy came to a sudden halt, "I will not change. Not ever again." his eyes then slowly opened.

Clara cleared her throat. This caused the Doctor to flinch, "You alright up there, Doctor?"

That voice. He knew that voice. It couldn't be her. Could it? "No..." he muttered, his body refusing to turn around.

"Doctor." she said once again.

He practically forced himself to slowly turn around. His eyes landed on her. He shook his head in disbelief, the regeneration energy appearing from his hands once more. He gave his hands a violent shake before gripping onto the railing and making his way down the stairs, "You." he spoke as he reached the final step. A smile starting to form.

"Me?" Clara smirked, "What about me?" she walked towards him. The smile on the Doctor's face grew as he realised...

"Cl-Clara?"

Her eyes widened, "Y-You... You remember me?"

He let out a struggled chuckle, his fists clenching, "Clara Oswald. I could never forget you." That was it. That was all he had to say to make Clara pull him in for a hug, her arms wrapping around him quick. He cautiously placed his own arms around her... He really hoped that he didn't regenerate like this. Might burn his Impossible Girl. Couldn't have that, "I thought I would never find you."

"Well... Technically, I found you." she said, hugging him tighter. She then felt a warmth coming from his hands which were currently placed on her back. He soon pulled away in order to stop the heat from touching her. A stray tear left Clara's eye, "So it's true..." she said, "You're regenerating."

He clasped his hands hands together, "No. Just a malfunction." he gulped, "It will stop soon."

"What happened?" she said looking at the cut on his forehead before putting her own hands around his.
