Clara visits Twelve once more to help him through his regeneration. She wants to be there to see the new man who takes his place. Only thing is... The Thirteenth Doctor isn't exactly a man. But this doesn't stop Clara from falling in love with the D...
Clara roamed the halls of the space station. She had taken herself and the Doctor to Raxacorricofallapatorius. However, she hadn't expected the Slitheen family to show up and separate them, "Good job, Clara." she muttered as she turned round a corner, "Take yourself and the Doctor to a dangerous planet and what happens? You lose your boyf- girlfriend within the first ten minutes of arriving." she stopped walking, "Did I just call the Doctor my girlfriend?" she paused before starting to walk once again, "That's it, Clara. Keep on talking to yourself. First sign of insanity."
Clara peered out of the windows as she walked down a corridor, she whistled as she saw the beautiful burgundy seas. Despite being hunted by the Slitheen family, she still stood in awe at the gorgeous planet. Not all the residents of Raxacorricofallapatorius were bad. Just a couple familes including the Slitheen and the Blathereen, "Just need to get back to the Tardis..." she sighed.
She looked around in utter fear, "You!" the Doctor pointed at a Raxacorricofallapatorian, "Have you seen a girl? Quite short. Quite feisty." the resident shook its head. The Doctor looked around the habitants of the planet, "Okay, what now?" she asked herself, "I usually know what to do next but... Now I'm not too sure." she sat down on a nearby rock and looked out towards the burgundy sea, her chin resting on her hands...
"Is it really you?" a resident asked.
The Doctor turned her head slightly towards the voice, "Who do you think I am?" she smirked.
"You are not welcome here." the creature looked angry, "You should know who I am!"
The Time Lord gulped, "Well..." she quickly stood up and started to back away, "It was lovely meeting you but I have to get back to the Tardis."
"Doctor!" It was clearly a member of the Slitheen family... "Casting us out like that back on Earth! I see you have had major changes! You will come with us!"
"I don't think I will." the Doctor stated, "I have a companion to find!" she took off down the coast and headed back to where the TARDIS was.
"Okay..." Clara looked around in confusion, "The Tardis was here. It was right here." she swore it was here. Had the Doctor left her? No. Of course not. She decided to continue down the hall in hopes of the Doctor and or the TARDIS. Suddenly there was a loud crash behind the Impossible Girl. Clara flinched before shaking her head, "Please don't be the Doctor. Please don't be the Doctor." She slowly turned around... She rolled her eyes, "Are you serious?!"

(This is what the TARDIS looks like in the wall in the space station!)
The TARDIS was half way into a wall... "How!?" Clara exclaimed, "How did that even happen?!" concrete and rubble started to fall from the wall and ceiling, "Doctor!" she called up to the box. No answer. "Old girl! Are you okay?!" the TARDIS hummed loudly... she sounded extremely disappointed and annoyed with this new Doctor. Clara's frown soon turned into a smile, "Typical women drivers, am I right, old girl?" the TARDIS thrummed in agreement, "Doctor! Get out here!" the TARDIS door somehow managed to slowly creak open.
"It's not my fault, Clara!" the Doctor shouted down.
"Oh, really?!" she asked, "Then whos fault is it?! Because the Tardis doesn't sound too impressed!"
"The coordinates were just a tiny bit off!"
"Where were you even going?"
"I was trying to find you. Thought the Slitheen had got their hands on you."
"You should've just left the Tardis where it was! You should've known that I would have made my way back!"
The Doctor sighed, "Well I'm sorry for fearing for your life, Clara." she paused, "This is probably the worst first date you could've picked!"
"First date?"
The Doctor quickly talked over her, "I have no idea as to how I am going to get this box down from here!"
Clara decided to bypass the whole 'first date' thing... "Just put in the previous coordinates that I put in here."
She groaned, "I would have to go through so many different coordinates though!"
"What do you mean?"
"I have been all over time and space trying to get back here, Clara! I have been to Skaro in the year 7003 and let me tell you... Daleks are starting to wear dresses. They really need to work on their fashion sense. I have also accidentally been to the day you were born. I saw you as a baby, Clara! I'll never recover! And I'll tell you... I was scarred when I saw your mother a few days after that. There should be a law against mothers wearing thongs." she spoke in a hasty tone.
"Please don't put that image in my head ever again." Clara pleaded. She then added, "Just reach down and pull me up."
"I'm not that strong, Clara."
"I'm not that heavy, Doctor." Clara said reaching her hands up, "Just grab my hands."
The Doctor kneeled within the TARDIS doorway, "Okay. But I'm blaming you if I break my back."
"You can regenerate. You'll be fine." Clara smirked as she felt the Doctor's hands grab onto hers... "Are you just gonna look at me starstruck or are you going to actually pull me up anytime soon?"
The Time Lord shook her head, "I'm not starstruck, Clara." she began to pull the immortal girl up, "Not heavy? Really?"
"I'll smack you if you continue!" Clara said finally getting through the TARDIS door,
"You know..." Clara stood up pulling the Doctor with her, "You are a right idiot sometimes."
"I just need to get my hands round the console and then I will be fine."
"It will come back to you." the Impossible Girl smiled at her Doctor.
Clara was sitting on the stairs within the console room, book in hand. She glanced over the book every now and then to see the Doctor trying to figure out the console. She had insisted on helping her but the Doctor simply refused. Clara finally broke the silence, "See." this caused the Doctor to cease her motions, "This new you isn't all that bad." Even with the Doctor's back facing her she could tell that there was a smile plastered on the Time Lord's face, "You seem to be a lot more open. You may be serious but not eyebrow serious."
"You don't miss the previous face?" she asked, turning around to face her companion.
"Of course I do. I even miss bowtie sometimes." Clara admitted which caused the Doctor's smile to falter, "But this new face is just as good. Perhaps better." she reassured the Time Lord, "You need to stop worrying about what I feel about you. How do you feel?"
The Doctor leaned back against the console and Clara put her book down on the staircase next to her, "I don't know, Clara. Afterall... this face was 'chosen' to please a certain someone. And that certain someone seems to be you."
"Wasn't your previous face meant to 'please' me?"
"Yes, Clara." she agreed, "But this face is also for you. And I'm hoping my next one will be for you, too." Clara smiled as the Doctor walked towards her. She let the Doctor pull her up from the stairs and towards the console, "Now. I actually do need your help." she shamefully admitted, "I remember the levers and buttons, I just can't remember the sequence."
"No need to be ashamed, Doctor." Clara glanced at the console, "You'll get the hang of it." the Doctor suddenly leaned forward to press her lips to Clara's. Once the Doctor retreated, Clara spoke, "You really need to warn me when you are going to do that." she chuckled, "Keep on catching me off guard."
