A young girl's face peaks through the TARDIS door.
"Doc, who's that?" I ask
"Oh! That's Clara."
"Who's Clara?" I ask, confused.
"She travels with me now." He smiles.
"Woah - you replaced me!"
"I didn't replace you, Alice, you left."
I nod and look at the girl.
I shake her hand.
"Alice Cooke." I say, "FORMER companion to the Doctor. Well, not this doctor. The last one, the Eleventh one." I say.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Clara Oswald. Current companion to the twelfth doctor." She laughs.
"Does he still speak to the TARDIS like she's human?" I whisper.
"Yes! All the time, she's called 'sexy' haha" answers Clara.
"Oh my god. He's so ridiculous. Has he ever mentioned me?"
"Sometimes. And Amy." Says Clara.
"Yeah. Have you met river?" I laugh.
"Yep. Bloody love her. By the way, I know everything that happened... it must be awful for you, losing your sister and then..."
"I love her too. Thanks, but I don't really think about it too much. I'm sort of happy now because I've got a boyfriend, Cai." I call Cai over."Clara. I need to give you some advice." I say.
"Yep." She says.
"The Doctor lies, trust him, but he lies. He will always, always save your life."
"Thanks, Alice, good luck with everything!" She smiles.
"And; before you go, Clara. Take this."
I slip my spare TARDIS key into her hand and wink, I also give her the book that river gave to Amy.
"Thank you, Alice. Goodbye." She laughs, running back into the TARDIS with the Doctor.
Before he closes the door, the Doctor turns round.
"Goodbye, Cooke. See ya around." He smirks. I know it's the same man.
"Bye, Doc."
Cai puts his arm around me and I lean my head on his shoulder as the TARDIS disappears, we both know what comes next. Kids, Marriage, but I will always remember when I traveled with the Doctor.
